Your Majesty, the Emperor is playing your cards again!

Chapter 554 Everyone is Suspected
"Bullshit! Concubine Xia suddenly fell into the canal. It was clearly someone's doing. Everyone present here is a suspect.

The emperor kept us here to clear our suspicions one by one. This is the most fair and just approach!

If you have done nothing wrong, you don't have to be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. The emperor has kept you here, but you are so rampant. You must be hiding something!

Concubine Xia was a fairy goddess highly praised by the people. She made great contributions to Dayan and the people.

She was kidnapped for no reason, and not only are you not worried, you are even here to provoke trouble. You are worse than pigs and dogs!"

It was rare for Prime Minister Lu to be so angry, and he refuted loudly and righteously.

The group of fence-sitters who were hesitating and didn't know whether to kneel down to petition were frightened and stood straight, not daring to kneel.

Prime Minister Chen was always smooth and agreed, "Prime Minister Lu is right. Please be patient. The emperor kept you here to eliminate all suspicions."

Lord Lin said coldly: "We are just sitting here quietly listening to a play, what suspicion can there be?
Does Chen Shoufu have any evidence?
If there is no evidence, it is a false accusation!"

Chen Shoufu had a kind smile on his face, which was what colleagues should show when getting along with each other in a friendly manner.

He asked politely, "Does Lord Lin have strong evidence to prove that he is not a suspect?

If you have any, please bring them out. The Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple can conduct an on-the-spot investigation. Once they are determined to be clear of suspicion, they can be released on the spot."

Lord Lin sneered: "Why would the Duke of this country want to prove that he is not a suspect? How could a Duke of this country kidnap a little girl like Concubine Xia?"

Chen Shoufu said hesitantly: "Did Lord Lin never study law? Concubine Xia was kidnapped at the stage, so everyone who stayed at the stage is a suspect.

This is something that everyone who has studied law knows!
Oh, yes, the Duke was born in the military, so he probably has never learned this. Since he has never learned this, it is understandable that he does not understand this rule.

But as a person, one should never stop learning until old age, so it should not be too late for you to learn now, Duke. " "You..."

The Duke was so angry that his teeth were bared and his face turned purple.

As a military officer, he could not win an argument with these sharp-tongued civil servants.

He was so angry that he threw his hands and said, "I will not argue with you sharp-tongued people!"

After that, he turned to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please give the Queen Mother and the old ministers an explanation. The Queen Mother and the old ministers are old and can't stay up late. Your Majesty can't take the lives of the Queen Mother and the old ministers just because of Concubine Xia!"

These words can be said to be extremely unfilial and heartbreaking.

The neutral ministers were horrified when they heard this.

A group of righteous ministers were so angry that they blew their beards and glared.

Is Lord Lin going to confront the Emperor head-on?

What a courage!
Duke Lin's accomplices were also startled for a moment, but soon knelt down and agreed.

"Your Majesty, please give the Queen Mother and the old ministers an explanation!"

Although they felt that it was too quick for Duke Lin to confront the Emperor head-on, it was better to be quicker. No matter what, they wanted a result as soon as possible.

Since they have chosen to stand on the side of the Queen Mother and Duke Lin, a head-on confrontation will come sooner or later. They now have no choice but to assist the Queen Mother and Duke Lin with all their strength.

Jun Feiliang stood there like an iceberg, looking at the ministers, almost half of whom were kneeling in the crowd. His eyes were cold and murderous intent surged like a bloody wave.
