Chapter 46 See where His Majesty is in the interrogation
As soon as they entered the room, Ye Qide placed the person on a chair, arranging him in a sitting position that would not easily be noticed as unusual.
Zhai Ka: "I'll go out and look for it right now."
Tu Xing said "hmm" and threw him a silver coin, "As soon as possible."
Worrying about going empty-handed and wasting time, this will increase the success rate and confirm the matter before the backtracking time arrives.
Zhai Ka was very surprised, "Yes." He strode away, closing the door in his hand.
The fair-skinned young man sat down opposite. The room was small and there were only two seats in total.
He pointed a finger at the wooden table. "Is this place public or private? Are you arranged by His Majesty's guards, or are you renting it yourself?"
Ye Qide said, "Sir, I'll consider you as His Majesty's personal guard, half the rent."
"Only the important few get single rooms for free. The others either live with 20 or 30 other people or pay a little money for a single room."
After listening, Tu Xing looked around. It was very simple and he quickly lost interest.
I lowered my head and flipped through the booklet in my hand, then opened my bag to check the time. There were still more than four hours left.
Take out a pen and write down the colors first, so as not to forget them when too many things happen later.
Ye Qide's eyes lit up with envy. "If you can really learn magic, I'll follow you for the rest of my life. You're brave, careful, and have a good appearance. You'll be very successful in no time."
He looked at Luo Bo again, "After all, this person's identity is extraordinary. If he moves in with me, Celilda will ask about it sooner or later. What should I do?"
Tu Xing: "A lover. Celilda has other men, right?"
Ye Qide nodded, "Always have, meaning to contact his competitors first."
Tu Xing said "hmm", "Don't worry about this matter. Have you eaten? Fill your stomach first."
Ye Qide looked at him, his expression calm, then looked at Luo Bo, who looked like a corpse. He didn't know how he could still have an appetite while sitting at the same table with him.
However, he still turned around to get the food.
After about forty-five minutes, Ye Qide collected the remaining boxes on the table and left one in the corner.
Just as he did this, there was a knock on the door, two "knock knocks".
"The doctor is back, is it convenient for you to come in now?"
Tu Xing pulled himself out of the magic spells in his eyes: "Please come in——"
The first person to come in was Zhai Ka, followed by an elderly man with a white beard. According to local custom, his clothes were half-cloak style, and his bare chest was clearly visible, showing his skinny and old age.
Tu Xing put the book away and stood up, indicating that the person next to him needed medical treatment.
The old man with white beard did not say anything, but went straight to work and pried open his eyes. He exclaimed in surprise, and then he used the same method on the second eye.
Next, place your hands on your nose, mouth, neck, and heart.
The white-bearded old man's expression became increasingly solemn, and he shouted in confusion, "This man is already dead! How can we treat him?"
Zhai Ka, who had just come in, had not communicated with Tu Xing about the follow-up, and his face was full of panic when he heard this.
Ye Qide whispered, "Go and eat, Cyril has a solution." He pointed to the lunch box in the corner.
"Oh oh." Zhai Ka quickly calmed down.
The old man with white beard looked at Zhai Ka and the other man, then at Tu Xing, and then at the entire room, as if trying to confirm who was in charge.
Finally, he asked the fair-skinned young man again: "How are you going to treat it?"
"This is the residence of the Minister of Affairs, and this deceased person's clothing looks familiar to me. I guess he must be at least a powerful person, right?"
Hearing this, Tu Xing raised his eyebrows, as if he knew something, and replied:
"Your Majesty is here. We are all from the palace. It is better not to ask about some confidential matters. We have our own arrangements."
The white-bearded old man frowned and nodded, as if he felt he had said something wrong. "Oh, right, then... let's just pretend we were never here and leave first?"
Tu Xing blinked. "Can you tell me what caused his death? Cardiac arrest?"
The other party hesitated, "Can you cut it open?"
Ye Qide leaned over to Tu Xing and whispered, "There's blood all over the floor. I'll definitely have to change my lease."
Hearing this, Tu Xing nodded slightly and turned to the white-bearded old man, "Test it in a way that does not harm the body. We'll take whatever we can find out."
"Okay." After the old man said this, his expression seemed much less prejudiced.
He stepped forward and rolled the man to the ground. "Someone take off all his clothes. I'll check for any external injuries."
Ye Qide stepped forward and moved quickly.
Ten minutes later, the old man nodded slowly. "There are no external injuries. It should be a cardiac arrest. Was he disrespectful to His Majesty or the Black Mage?"
The guess was right. Tu Xing raised an eyebrow and asked, "Does this happen often?"
The old man with white beard said: "Yes, this is the fate of those who are dissatisfied. In the past, there were large-scale deaths, and they really fell to the ground in large numbers."
Tu Xing quickly thought of something, "If that's the case, why was this rebellion able to take off on such a large scale?"
The old man had an indescribable expression on his face. "Only if you have truly seen His Majesty or the Black Mage, for example, up close, will the rumor come true."
"There's no chance for those civilians to actually meet. In the early stages of the uprising, they could grab things to alleviate their hunger. To survive, more and more people joined in."
"In my humble opinion, it's just robbing fellow civilians and making things difficult for each other. It's really not advisable."
Tu Xing seemed to be thinking about something. "Okay, thank you. Is one silver coin enough?"
It was the white-bearded old man's turn to raise an eyebrow, becoming somewhat mercenary: "At least two silver coins."
"I won't mention anything about what happened today. Of course, it's nothing serious. I'll just pretend it never happened."
Hearing this, Tu Xing smiled and quickly took out a silver coin and handed it to him.
After the others left, the young man said, "If you don't mind, please dress him first. I'll go over there and see where His Majesty is with the interrogation."
The two burly men looked at each other, and Zhai Ka was about to nod, but Ye Qide stopped them, "Wait."
"You and I will put it on him first, and then we can go together."
Zhai Ka responded, "Okay."
After about five minutes, the three returned to the hall where the interrogation took place last night.
The trial has been going on since morning. Four or five hours have passed. It should be over, right?
Tu Xing was lost in thought. He stood against the wall beside the door and listened to what was happening.
Unexpectedly, there were still many people inside, and the number of people kneeling was increasing.
A woman's voice: "Your Majesty, we do have to pay 30 points every year. Our profit is only this much. If we price it too high, we won't be able to sell it. If we price it too low, it's all in vain."
“I wanted to change the category of goods, but found that all taxes were the same.”
"It is indeed Wa..." He paused for a moment, then continued quickly, "We did think it was His Majesty's intention."
Hou Saiyin's voice said, "Your Majesty, the amount of money Waji Xia has embezzled over the years is enormous! We simply can't survive, and we are forced to rebel!"
Then, Wajiha shouted angrily, "I have only been in office for two years."
"All the money I earned was used to find something to soothe your majesty. Shouldn't it be natural to sacrifice for your majesty?"
