Transcendent Ember

Chapter 43 Interrogation
"Bah!" The guard who had been whipped touched the blood on his face, and spat, "Aren't those who act like dogs, are they just grooms? What's the air?"

A companion next to him was filled with righteous indignation: "If His Majesty is in power, can we accept this anger?"

The guard who had been whipped shook his head, his eyes flashed fiercely: "Your Majesty is hopeless, and there is still a possibility for that one."

He looked at the lineup of carriages that disappeared out of sight, and his eyes were gloomy: "It's really what that person said, these **** nobles have come to trouble His Majesty. How about it, do you have the guts to gamble with me?"

Companions, you look at me, I look at you, it is difficult to make up your mind.

The guard who had been whipped said bitterly: "What are you still hesitating about? Give it a try, the bicycle can be transformed into a motorcycle, as long as this one succeeds, our brother will also become a nobleman, and have a taste of being a master.

"At that time, money, power, women, extraordinary items, you can get whatever you want! What else do you have to hesitate?"

The companions were persuaded and began to waver:
"Then... what shall we do?"

"Done!"

"Fight it all, it's a big deal and you'll lose your life."

"Well done, you stay here..." The guard who had been whipped grinned, "I'll tell that one to make dumplings for these noble gentlemen today."

The hall fell into dead silence for a moment. Even Li Luo and Qin Huaimin, the top powerful officials, couldn't help but hold their breath for a moment when faced with the topic of 'deposing the emperor'.

Zhang Jichuan's heart seemed to miss a beat: "This... this is a live version of a conspiracy drama!"

"It seems that the mysterious murderer is not Hu Jing, so who could he be?"

He had some conflicts in his heart. On the one hand, the mysterious murderer was definitely related to Hu Jing and had a close relationship, so that he could get Qianlong's Ahu gun from Hu Jing.

Faced with such a person, Zhang Jichuan actually had no choice but to make things worse and use the power of the nobles to deal with this person.

Otherwise, this person will kill himself at all costs in order to keep the secret.

But on the other hand, the 'innocent' emperor Hu Jing seems to have suffered an innocent disaster. Judging from the determination of the nobles, no matter what, they must take this opportunity to reduce Hu Jing's power again...

Outside the hall, a few daring people from the film crew gathered together, wanting to see why eight of the nine nobles entered the palace together, and they really saw the news.

"Mom, is this going to force you into the palace?"

"Your Majesty is too pitiful, isn't it?"

"That's right, what a wonderful person Your Majesty is. He lent us the palace for filming. How can there be such a good emperor in the world?"

"These nobles are really inhuman."

……

The Minister of Information, Pei Enshiwang, spoke and comforted: "Your Majesty, please calm down, I don't mean that."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I just asked a few questions." One of Zhou Chang's vassals continued to persuade him.

Buson: "Your Majesty, please don't think too much, just answer the question truthfully."

"Hahahaha..." Hu Jing laughed, with tears in his smile, "Do you think I am a three-year-old child? After asking the question, are you going to convict me?"

Hu Jing's complexion changed, and he said sharply: "I'm not so stupid, I won't take the initiative to give others a handle. If you want my power, just take it, but you also have to bear the corresponding infamy, and this is the price!"

A group of nobles and ministers frowned. They didn't expect the emperor to look like a broken jar, which made them feel like they had nowhere to say anything.

Li Luo walked out of the hall indifferently, and said lightly: "Your Majesty, as the king of a country, let these dubious people enter the palace to mess around. Palace gate..."

"Li Luo!" Hu Jing's complexion changed, he stood up and said angrily, "Are you going to deprive me of my only pastime?"

Qin Huaimin opened his mouth and praised his opponent: "It makes sense, these messy people should be banned from entering the palace, so as not to insult the majesty of the palace."

Hu Jing was furious: "Qin Huaimin, you!"

"Yeah yeah……"

"It should have been like this..."

"It's a mess, what's the proper way?"

……

The nobles and ministers seconded the proposal one after another, making Hu Jing's complexion worse and worse, and he kept panting like an enraged beast.

At this time, Li Luo added another sentence to Buson next to him: "Check out the people and things in His Majesty's palace, if there are any irregularities, clean up what needs to be cleaned up..."

Busson nodded.

"Don't!" Hu Jing's already fragile line of defense was broken, and he collapsed, "I promise, can't I promise? Leave me a little thought..."

He didn't have the strength to bargain... Zhang Jichuan thought with complicated emotions.

The corner of Li Luo's mouth hooked slightly, looked at Yuan Xiao and said lightly: "Continue."

Yuan Xiao was expressionless, took a deep breath, and looked at the emperor: "May I ask your Majesty, did you buy a supernatural item called 'Qianlong's Ahu Spear' from Yujing University a few days ago?"

"I can't even buy a super item?" Hu Jing, who was hit hard, said in a hoarse voice, as if he had been drained of energy.

Your Majesty acquiesced... Yuan Xiao nodded, and continued to ask: "Then where is this extraordinary item now, Your Majesty?"

"I don't know." Hu Jing said weakly.

"I don't know?" Yuan Xiao frowned, and the nobles and ministers present also showed a trace of astonishment.

Yuan Xiao couldn't help but took a step forward: "How could Your Majesty not know?"

Hu Jing said irritably: "I'm just a first-rank extraordinary creature, how can I bind so many extraordinary items? After buying it, I played with it a few times and threw it into the warehouse..."

Throw it into the warehouse?No binding, no reward to whom? ... Zhang Jichuan frowned secretly, this is not good news.

"Could it be that the murderer stole the 'Qianlong's Ahu Gun' from the warehouse of the palace? The scope is so wide...Everyone in the whole palace is suspected." Zhang Jichuan thought very troublesomely.

Minister of Commerce Zhou Changning said, "Your Majesty, you better tell the truth!"

Hu Jing said angrily: "If you don't believe what I say, why bother to ask me?"

The nobles and ministers frowned in unison, among them, Yang Xuan signaled to his subordinates, who understood and went to the palace warehouse.

Yuan Xiao said in a deep voice, "Does Your Majesty know about the recent serial murders that put everyone in Yujing at risk?"

Hu Jing: "What does this matter to me? You should ask Li Luo, this is his responsibility!"

Li Luo's pupils shrank slightly.

Yuan Xiao pointed to Zhang Jichuan in the back row: "The night before yesterday, the murderer of the serial murder committed another crime and was met by this teacher Zhang Jichuan. Teacher Zhang Jichuan 'borrowed' a supernatural item from the murderer with the supernatural item Kongming's scarecrow, Your Majesty Do you know what it is?"

Hu Jing shook his head, very impatiently: "How would I know?"

"Qianlong's Ahu Spear!" Yuan Xiao suddenly raised his voice, "Mr. Zhang Jichuan 'borrowed' it, and it was the extraordinary item that His Majesty bought, 'Qianlong's Ahu Spear'!"

Hu Jing sneered: "Oh, are you doubting me?"

Yuan Xiao said bluntly: "It's just a reasonable speculation, and the subordinate also wants to clear the suspicion for His Majesty."

Hu Jing ignored him, and suddenly looked at the back row: "You are Zhang Jichuan? The Zhang Jichuan who made my envoys line up?"

"..."

Zhang Jichuan was stunned, then bowed slightly: "I have seen Your Majesty."

Hu Jing stared at him: "Are you looking down on me?"

Before Zhang Jichuan could answer, Hu Jing laughed at himself: "I heard about your feat, and sent someone to ask you to identify extraordinary items, but you made my envoy line up with a group of vulgar fools.

"Zhang Jichuan, you really look down on me from the bottom of your heart, right?
"I admit that I am a puppet emperor and is not respected. But why do you still come to frame me now?"

Zhang Jichuan was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say for a moment.After thinking for a while, he snapped his fingers and summoned the 'Kongming's Scarecrow': "Your Majesty, Your Excellencies, I did 'borrow' the 'Qianlong's Ahu Spear' with this extraordinary item the night before yesterday, absolutely no deceit. "

He shared the information of "Kong Ming's Scarecrow", and the nobles and ministers nodded after seeing it.

Education Minister Gu Wen spoke for the first time and asked Zhang Jichuan: "Do you have any proof?"

Zhang Jichuan shook his head: "Besides me, there were five masked men, but they were all killed."

Yuan Xiao added: "The death of the five masked men is consistent with that of the deceased in the previous case."

Director Darcy added: "'Qianlong's Ahu Spear' was exploded by Mr. Zhang Jichuan and I when we were adventuring in the Abyss of Huotu. Mr. Zhang Jichuan will not admit his mistake."

The Minister of Punishment, Lei Nuo, looked at Zhang Jichuan: "Isn't Zhang Jichuan? Do you dare to accept the lie test?"

Polygraph?Could it be the ability of some extraordinary item? ...A thought flashed in Zhang Jichuan's mind, and he nodded without hesitation: "Yes."

Renault gave him a look, and a subject with a rigid and stern expression came out behind him, released two soul crowns, and summoned an extraordinary item from them.

"Cesar Chonglong Buso's hydraulic pulse recorder, lie detector!" The minister activated his extraordinary ability and said to Zhang Jichuan, "Repeat what you just said."

Zhang Jichuan immediately repeated what he said just now, and at the same time felt an invisible force scanning himself.

After listening, the vassal with a rigid expression put away the supernatural items and nodded slightly to Lei Nuo: "He didn't lie."

Renault heard the words and looked at Hu Jing: "What did His Majesty do the night before yesterday?"

Hu Jing said weakly: "I was drinking the night before yesterday, and the crew outside could testify, so do you still want to test my lie?"

Renault hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

At this time, Yang Xuan's subordinates returned to the hall: "There is no 'Qianlong's Ahu gun' in the warehouse."

"This..." Some nobles and ministers frowned. If neither side lied, the 'Qianlong's Ahu Spear' disappeared again. How should things continue?

At this time, Li Luo opened his mouth, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes: "In this case, after your Majesty bought the 'Qianlong's Ahu Gun', all those who have entered and left the palace will be arrested and tortured to extract confessions. I don't believe it. not come out."

Qin Huaimin nodded: "Yes!"

Hu Jing's face changed: "You..."

He didn't finish speaking, because there was a scream outside suddenly.

"what!--"

With a loud bang, the expensive doors and windows in the hall suddenly shattered, and a blood-stained person broke through the doors and windows and fell in. His hands and feet were cut off, and he described it as extremely miserable.

"Duke... Your Excellency the Duke..." the man shouted with difficulty.

Li Luoteng jumped up from the seat, his eyes were full of anger.

It was his groom who bumped in.

　Several master readers have participated in the collection of extraordinary items, thank you????
