Chapter 554: No one can argue, the emperor stopped

If Cui Mingchong was really responsible, then Fulin'an couldn't explain it clearly.

At this time, the palace door was opened at a corner, and Lin Yun walked in.

Du Sheng's status was sensitive, so he did not come in, but went directly to the back hall of the imperial study through the side door.

Several people present looked at Lin Yun warily. In their hearts, it was definitely Lin Yun's style to be able to do such cruel things.

Only after Lin Yun entered the capital did the capital become more prosperous.

Lin Yun smiled bitterly and said: "Why are you all looking at me? I was ready to take a rest just now, and I have no idea what happened!"

The Eighth Sage King and Meng Yuan were both silent. They were somewhat afraid of Lin Yun.

Only Fulin'an stared at him, as if he wanted to eat someone.

At this time, the emperor said: "Everyone is here! Let me tell you straight! No matter which of you is responsible for the assassination of the Fifth Prince, I warn you that whoever dares to touch my country will be punished by me." He must die a good death!"

The Eighth Sage King cupped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, I just sent someone to inquire. The Fifth Prince was drinking and having fun with Xiang Chong and Sun Xing at home, and was suddenly attacked by a mysterious assassin. The weapon used was a bamboo gun! "

As he said that, he subconsciously looked at Lin Yun.

The corners of Fulin'an's mouth turned up. He was now certain that Cui Mingchong was the one who assassinated the Fifth Prince. Although he didn't understand why Cui Mingchong disobeyed the order, if he could take the opportunity to transfer his hatred to Lin Yun, it would be worth it. The assassin escaped anyway. , Cui Mingchong's whereabouts are unknown, and he will not be in danger for a while. After tonight, he will deal with Cui Mingchong again, and he will also be unaware of it.

But Meng Yuan always looked at his nose and heart, pretending that it had nothing to do with him.

He knew very well that the assassination of the fifth prince was either Lin Yun or Fulin'an, so there was no need for him to speak now.

As the saying goes, if you talk too much, you will make mistakes. If you implicate yourself, it will be bad.

Sure enough, the emperor also stared at Lin Yun with a scrutinizing face and said, "Lin Zhongtang, don't you have nothing to explain?"

Faced with the gazes of many big men present, Lin Yun remained calm and heartless, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, using a bamboo gun at this moment does not prove that this matter is related to me, right? When Wei Chen was still in Fengyang County, At that time, several princes present asked me for bamboo guns!"

As soon as these words came out, except for the emperor, all the big bosses turned pale.

Meng Yuan said anxiously: "Lin Zhongtang, could it be that I also asked you for a bamboo gun?"

Lin Yun slapped his forehead and said with a smile: "I made a mistake! Except for the Emperor and Meng Zhongtang!"

At this time, both the Eight Sages and Fulin'an could not sit still.

The Eight Wise Kings said: "Your Majesty, you know my brother well! Besides, my brother and fifth brother have always had a harmonious relationship. I have no motive to take action at all!"

Fulin'an also explained: "Your Majesty, the relationship between the old minister and the fifth prince is not bad in private! Although there were several arguments in the court before the formation, they were just discussing matters, far from the level of life and death! Only Lin Yun is the most suspicious! He When he was in Fengyang County, he was proficient in the art of assassination. People like Lin Fengjiao died tragically in his hands in the end! Lin Yun must have hated Lin Fengjiao and turned his anger on the Fifth Prince!"

The emperor glanced at everyone and showed a sneer.

He could guess a little bit in his mind, but he didn't want to say it out loud.

After all, as the king of a country, he can only speak with his words. If he jumps to conclusions easily, it would be tantamount to convicting someone. This is not in line with the actual situation.

At this time, Lin Yun came out of the class and smiled confidently: "Your Majesty, the bamboo guns sent by Wei Chen all have matching ammunition, and each batch is different! As long as the fragments of the ammunition can be found at the scene of the incident, , Weichen will be able to determine which batch of bamboo guns they belong to, and find out the real culprit behind the scenes!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Fulin'an subconsciously.

Fulin'an said angrily: "What do you think I am doing? Lin Yun, you can't even think of blaming this matter on me!" Lin Yun was not angry at all for his rude roar. How could he bury the hole he dug himself? Kill yourself?

This was carefully prepared by him for Fulinan.

The emperor's eyes lit up: "Oh? Do Lin Qing's family really mean what they say?"

"It's absolutely true! The things developed by Wei Chen himself are naturally marked with marks! Please ask the emperor to issue an order to let officials from the Ministry of Justice go to the assassination site and bring back the shrapnel, so that the truth can be revealed!"

Fulin'an suddenly became anxious and shouted: "Your Majesty, this kid is talking nonsense! The ammunition of the bamboo gun is only the size of a fingernail. After being shot out, it breaks into pieces. How can we find out the calendar? He is just trying to delay time!" Or you are trying to pour this dirty water on me! Your Majesty! You are the Holy Lord of the world, don’t be bewitched by this kid!"

Meng Yuan angrily scolded: "Fu Lin'an, shut up! Do you still dare to talk about the Sacred Heart?"

Only then did Fulin'an realize that he had said the wrong thing, and he quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, forgive me!"

The emperor sighed, looking at Fulin'an's guilty face, he already had the answer in his heart.

Not only did the emperor see it, but Meng Yuan and the Eight Sage Kings also clearly felt that there was a big problem with Fulinan's attitude just now.

If it's not a guilty conscience, why stop it?

Moreover, Fulinan did have a motive to take action.

Lin Yun's success in entering the pavilion to pay homage to the prime minister was naturally due to the Fifth Prince's contribution.

Coupled with his sinister and vicious character, it can be regarded as deliberately placing the blame on Lin Yun.

Now the fight between the two has long been an open secret, and they are each accumulating strength, hoping to give the other a fatal blow.

At this time, Lin Yun said: "Your Majesty, why don't you let Wei Chen make a trip in person? It won't take long before Wei Chen can get to the bottom of it!"

Fulinan was already sweating profusely. If an investigation really started, he would be finished.

The corners of the mouths of the Eight Sages and Meng Yuan were raised. They didn't expect that things happened so suddenly. It seemed that Fulin'an was really doomed.

Just when everyone thought the situation was settled, the emperor suddenly said: "Forget it! Let's stop this matter!"

"emperor…"

Lin Yun suddenly became anxious. He worked hard and finally came up with a last-minute script. Even if Fulin'an could not be killed this time, his vitality would be severely damaged, but why did the emperor stop him?

The emperor said solemnly: "That's enough! If anyone dares to mention this matter again, he will be killed without mercy!"

Lin Yun sighed secretly and could only admit that he was unlucky.

Only Fulin'an was the happiest, telling himself crazily in his heart that the emperor still had feelings for him, and that he was not in the danger he had imagined before. At the critical moment, the emperor had maintained his prestige.

The emperor continued: "Eighth brother, go to Lao Wu's house on my behalf! If you need anything, just ask him directly! We must save his life!"

The Eight Wise Kings bowed and said, "My brother, I accept the decree!"

Afterwards, he turned and left.
