“Gudong——”
Imperial Physician Liu swallowed his saliva. His back was already soaked with sweat, and when he met Xiao Xian's sinister gaze, his scalp went numb.
"I have devoted all my efforts and never slacked off. How could King Chen so chill the heart of a loyal minister?!"
"Oh!"
Xiao Xian sneered, then raised his hand and swung out his internal force, knocking Imperial Physician Liu out directly, and his shoulder hit the wall with a "crack" sound.
Imperial Physician Liu held his shoulders, and the blood completely drained from his face.
Xiao Xian walked forward slowly, his tone grave, "Five years ago, Concubine Ping was pregnant with a dragon heir, but you said that Concubine Ping's pulse was unstable and that even if she survived the birth, she would not be healthy. This caused Concubine Ping to become depressed and unhappy. When she was a little over four months pregnant, she miscarried. Not long after, Concubine Ping was so heartbroken that she went mad and fell into the lotus pond!"
Imperial Physician Liu lost most of his soul and spirit in an instant.
His lips were trembling, and he couldn't make a single sound.
"Also, the Jirentang Pharmacy in the capital provides medicinal materials to the Imperial Hospital every month, and half of these materials are of very poor quality! However, since the Imperial Hospital suffers from a loss of medicinal materials every month, you've taken advantage of this loophole and received a large sum of money every month!"
There was a chill in Xiao Xian's eyes, and a heavy and oppressive aura surrounded Liu the Imperial Physician. His pupils widened, and he couldn't figure out how these secret matters were discovered.
"You think you're innocent?"
If Imperial Physician Liu had not targeted Qu Li, Xiao Xian might not have bothered to investigate him.
And in this world, no one can withstand scrutiny.
As long as you check, you can basically find out something. After all, no one is perfect in this world.
Even if there really is a perfect person, there is still a word called frame-up!
Imperial Physician Liu collapsed on the ground, regretting it so much that his intestines turned green.
"Killing the Dragon Heir is a grave crime punishable by the death of nine generations of your clan. Do you claim to be innocent?"
After saying this, Xiao Xian turned away.
Those eunuchs thought their lives were in danger and kept wiping away their tears. For a while, the cries in the death row were deafening.
"You guys don't want to die?"
The eunuchs raised their tear-stained eyes and sobbed.
"Lord Chen, they say a good death is worse than a miserable life. Of course, we servants want to live a good life!"
Xiao Xian nodded, "Then I will give you another chance! Among you, there must be someone who threw the rat into the side hall that day, but now this person is determined to drag innocent people to their deaths!"
"This man is absolutely wicked!"
"Yes, he will die a miserable death!"
The eunuchs were completely enraged and their curses became more and more harsh.
The one who didn't speak from beginning to end was Leonardo DiCaprio.
Xiao Xian had suspected him before, so he couldn't help but look at him more.
Little Leo remained calm and met his gaze without any disturbance.
"Someone come!"
As Xiao Xian finished speaking, a guard came in carrying a large wooden barrel covered with cloth.
"What is this for?"
"Could it be that they let us take a bath and then send us on our way?"
"But King Chen just said that he would give us another chance!"
"But if this person could really confess voluntarily, how could we be imprisoned in this death row?"
…
Because their lives and deaths were unknown, several eunuchs looked as if they had lost all hope in life.
"Bang——"
The wooden barrel was lowered to the ground with a heavy sound.
Xiao Xian said, "This is a new interrogation method developed by the Criminal Department. The potion here was made by the descendants of the Wu clan. It's called the Truth Potion!"
The eunuchs looked at each other in bewilderment.
Little Leo frowned and stared at the wooden barrel thoughtfully.
"In a moment, as long as you put your hands in the water, the witch god will naturally help you identify the murderer!"
"Is the Witch God really that powerful?"
"You should ask if there really are witch gods in this world?"
"Are you stupid? There are gods above us, and I believe there must be a witch god! Moreover, the witch god can help us clear our grievances!"
The eunuchs were obviously very excited.
Xiao Xian ordered all the candles in the death row to be extinguished.
Suddenly plunged into darkness, coupled with the sickening smell of blood in the death row, the eunuchs were all very nervous.
Suddenly, a spot of light appeared and fell into the bucket with a "whoosh".
Everyone swallowed hard, subconsciously thinking that the light spot just now was the witch god.
The eunuchs came forward one by one and put their hands into the bucket.
The candlelight was lit again, and everyone was not used to the sudden glare, so they all raised their hands to block it.
Xiao Xian's eyes were as sharp as a blade, falling on Xiao Lizi and a eunuch named Fugui, and his brows furrowed.
Could it be that there were two people throwing the rat into the side hall?
"Catch them both!"
When the cold voice reached their ears, the eunuchs realized that their hands were covered with black ink.
Because they had just covered their eyes, some people's faces were also dark, which looked particularly funny.
"Hey, why is there no ink on Xiao Lizi and Fugui's hands?"
"Didn't King Chen just order them to be arrested?"
"Could it be them?!"
Fugui frowned, glanced at Xiao Lizi beside him, rolled his eyes, and came up with a plan.
"Everyone else can leave!" Xiao Xian waved his hand.
Everyone cried with joy and knelt down to express their gratitude.
Xiao Xian said sternly, "Tell me, who ordered you two to do this?"
Little Leo sneered, a hint of sarcasm appearing on his usually calm face. "No wonder I could smell ink when I got close!"
"Shut up!" Xiao Xian's body temperature dropped rapidly. "Tell me the truth, I can still leave you with an intact body!"
Fugui knelt down hurriedly and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, I don't know anything. I just..."
"What?" Xiao Xian raised his eyes. "You're afraid of the witch god, so you don't dare put your hand in the bucket!"
"No, I just..."
"Bang--"
Xiao Xian raised his foot and kicked the wooden barrel towards Fugui.
Fugui couldn't dodge in time, and a bucket of ink was poured over his head, soaking him all over.
"Hahaha!" Little Leo couldn't help but laughed out loud.
Xiao Xian's eyes were stern, "What's wrong with you?"
"How could there be a witch god in this world? If I'm not mistaken, that light spot just now should be white phosphorus!"
Xiao Xian's pupils narrowed.
He couldn't help but look at Leo again.
This little eunuch's calmness was shocking from the first sight.
Now he can actually see through all the arrangements between him and Qu Li. This eunuch is not simple.
"Lord Chen, whether you believe it or not, I am not the murderer! He is the murderer!"
Fugui said anxiously: "Don't talk nonsense, it's obviously you!"
"Since it's not you, why don't you dare put your hand in the bucket?" Little Leo squinted his face, which was all black and rich in ink.
"Didn't you put your hand in there too? We're both equally matched!"
"Oh! Who's the same as you? I just think it's childish!"
"You and I are both eunuchs, and you are still my master!"
Little Leo raised his chin slightly and sneered, "Who says a eunuch can't become a master? You murderer, you have no right to speak here!"
