Rebirth of the Abandoned Concubine: The Poison Goddess Doctor

Chapter 257 Responsible, kill chickens and monkeys

"What did you say!" Zhu Fengyu turned pale with shock, "Why did the Buddha statue disappear? How did you guard it?!"

The envoy said: "I thought the stone statue was safe in Dayan Palace, so I left for a while, but I didn't expect the stone statue to disappear as soon as I got back! I'm guilty, I deserve to die!"

As soon as he said this, everyone in the hall immediately turned ugly. Isn't this saying that the Dayan Palace is not safe, and a stone statue that big can be stolen.

"Useless trash!" Zhu Fengyu said angrily, "It's clear that you have neglected your duties, yet you dare to deny it!"

At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside, and a guard came to report: "Your Majesty, I have caught an assassin, but the assassin has committed suicide by taking poison!"

The envoy kneeling on the ground hurriedly said: "The assassin must be related to the disappearance of the stone statue. Have you found the stone statue yet?"

The guard said: "The assassin didn't carry anything on him, and no similar large objects were found nearby."

"Maybe he's hiding somewhere else," said the envoy. "You can search it with someone, and you'll definitely find it!"

"Bastard!" Zhu Fengyu scolded, "Where do you think the palace is, you dare to search it!"

The envoy kowtowed and said, "I've made a mistake, I deserve to die!"

Several civil officials shut their mouths, Zhu Fengyu said what they wanted to say first, and didn't know what to say for a while.

The queen's biological father, Dayan's only Wang Wei with a different surname, snorted coldly, and said: "A small servant dares to say such things as searching the palace. It seems that Zhu Liguo doesn't have enough respect for me, Dayan!"

Originally, the atmosphere in the hall was tense and subtle, but King Wei's words seemed to have pierced a layer of window paper, breaking the illusion of peace between the two countries.

"Wei Wang speaks seriously!" Tong Shangshu stood up next to Zhu Fengyu, and said in a bad tone, "This servant is reckless and rude. Of course it is our fault, but he is also anxious to find the stone statue and present it to His Majesty. After all, this matter is expensive. The country is not without a little responsibility, we overestimated the guards of the palace, such a large Buddha statue can be stolen in an instant!"

The King of Wei jumped up against the case: "Presumptuous! How dare you despise me, Great Yan Guowei!!"

"Your official is just telling the truth," Tong Shangshu said with a smile on his face, "If any of what the official said is wrong, King Wei just point it out!"

Emperor Ming smiled and clapped his palms: "Okay, let's tell the truth. Everything Tong Shangshu said is correct. It's because the guards in my palace are incompetent. If the Buddha statue is stolen, they should bear half of the responsibility."

"Come here," Emperor Ming still had a smile on his face, but the words he spit out were full of blood, "pull down all the guards guarding the Buddha statue and cut them down."

All the ministers lowered their heads at this time, they were all too familiar with the emperor's smile, and usually the emperor's smile meant that someone was bound to die.

Tong Shangshu met Emperor Ming's gaze, his whole body was stiff, the cold air rose from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, he felt like a frog being stared at by a snake.

"I have already taken half of the responsibility," Emperor Ming said slowly, "Now it's Tong Shangshu's turn to apologize."

"What is the crime of this humble official?" Tong Shangshu managed to squeeze out a few words.

"The following guilty!"

"Talking about the court!"

"It's better to bully the king!"

"..."

A group of civil servants spoke immediately, pointing at Tong Shangshu angrily and reprimanded.

Tong Shangshu broke out in cold sweat behind his back, and wanted to argue a few words, but was drowned in the spittle of many civil servants without saying a few words.

Finally, King Wei added with a sneer: "According to Dayan's law, the nine clans shall be punished!"

"For the sake of King Zhu Li, let's just kill the nine clans," Ming Emperor said, "I will reward you with a whole corpse."

Tong Shangshu wanted to hold on, but his legs knelt down involuntarily.

Finally, Zhu Fengyu's smiling face mask couldn't be worn anymore. Emperor Ming is trying to make an example of others, give it to him, and embarrass the whole Zhu Li Kingdom!
"Your Majesty!" Zhu Fengyu held back his anger and said loudly, "Shang Shu Tong is just outspoken, and he didn't intend to offend. Your Majesty is going to kill someone just because he said a few words of the truth. Wouldn't it be detrimental to His Majesty's wisdom and the prestige of Great Yan?!"
