"What!" Several people's expressions suddenly changed. Who is Zu An? Now he is an imperial criminal involving the Crown Princess. Now countless pairs of eyes are staring at him. Who will kill him? Who dares to kill him?
Jiang Boyang subconsciously looked in the direction he pointed, and saw the pile of rice hidden in the messy pile of withered grass. The rice grains were scattered everywhere, and a painful expression suddenly appeared on his face.
Zhen Xueyi and Murong Tong, who were standing next to them, both turned back, and even Guo Zhi glanced at him because at that moment they felt a violent aura erupting from his body.
Hey, why is this guy so angry?
Is it because someone silenced him out of anger, or is it because of Zu An? Could it be that there is some friendship between him and Zu An that we don’t know about?
Murong Tong said at this time: "Quickly, test the toxicity inside."
It's impossible for Zu An to say it's poisonous, and they can't be led around.
Important prisoners were held in the sky jail, and the food and daily life naturally had professionals checking whether it was poisonous. Soon the man came over, took a silver needle and tried it in the rice, and then grabbed a handful of rice and smelled it at the tip of his nose.
, and even licked it with the tip of his tongue.
Zu An looked at it with his brows twitching. This was too dedicated. Could it be that there was a piece of shit here, and he had to taste it to judge whether it was a piece of shit?
The jailer quickly spit out what was in his mouth, stood up and said, "The rice is mixed with the poison of the Immortal Grass. Although this medicine is not fatal, it can make people lose their consciousness and become a living dead."
Hearing this result, everyone else's expressions were serious. The other party did not poison Zu An directly. Was he worried that the consequences would be too serious? However, making him a living dead could be considered another level of silencing.
Zong Zheng and Zhen Shouyi, who had messy hair, finally spoke and looked at Guo Zhi coldly: "Who brought food to Zu An today?"
Guo Zhi also hurriedly summoned people to investigate. In the end, his face changed several times: "A new person was transferred here, but now he has disappeared."
"You bastard, you let people commit murder openly in the prison. You, the right-guard general, don't want to do it anymore!" Jiang Boyang was already suppressing his anger, but when he saw Zhen Shouyi's messy hair, he felt that the ancient power in his body could no longer be used.
Unable to restrain himself, Guo Zhi became a punching bag and would lash out whenever he was caught.
Guo Zhi's face was dripping with cold sweat, and his expression was full of shame: "I'm going to check on that person right now."
He was not necessarily afraid of Jiang Boyang. Although the other party had a higher official position than him, they were not subordinate to each other and could not control him at all. The main reason was that such a big thing happened in his territory and he could not afford the emperor's blame.
Moreover, Zu An, who had been brothers before, almost got him into trouble in his own territory, and he couldn't bear it in his face.
Jiang Boyang's face softened slightly, but he couldn't stay in this messy cell any longer. He turned around and left in a hurry, signaling the jailer to take Zu An to the interrogation room aside.
When the remaining people entered, Jiang Boyang was already sitting in front of the table. Everything on the table was neatly arranged, and even the table top was bright and spotless.
Zhen Xueyi and Murong Tong looked sideways, wondering how this guy could do it. He didn't even see a rag or anything.
At this time Jiang Boyangqing
Cleared his throat: "Zu An, how is your poisoning situation? Do you want Dr. Xuan to come over to you?"
Now Zhen Xueyi and Murong Tong became more and more certain that this guy really had something to do with Zu An.
Zu An replied: "Thank you, Master Jiang. It concerns the reputation of the Crown Princess. Even if I am poisoned, I will try my best to cooperate with you."
Several Jiuqing looked strange. This guy was really shameless. No one could tell that he was not poisoned.
Jiang Boyang also choked: "Well, do you know who is most likely to attack you?"
Zu An sighed: "That's a lot to talk about. Do you dare to record it?"
Murong Tong on the side snorted coldly: "Don't push back and hold back. Just say what you have to say. Are you still afraid that the three of us can't make the decision for you?"
Zu An smiled slightly: "Then let me tell you, the first person who is likely to attack me is Lord Murong. As we all know, Lord Murong lost his official position as Sili Colonel because of my affairs."
Murong Tong was furious: "Bastard, who do you think you are? This is a normal personnel transfer in the imperial court. How could it be caused by you?"
The anger value from Murong Tong is +388+388+388...!
Zu An shrugged, looking disdainful to argue with him, everyone understood.
Seeing him like this, Murong Tong became even more angry.
Zhen Xueyi hurriedly grabbed him: "Ahem, I can vouch for Brother Murong Xian. He is an upright man. Even if he is unwilling because of that incident, he will never kill you because of it."
Zu An also took advantage of the situation and said: "I also think Master Murong should be of a forthright and upright nature, and he will definitely not use such devious tricks."
Murong Tong straightened his chest, thinking that after getting to know this boy, this sentence sounded the most pleasant to his ears.
Hey, wait a minute, if you knew that, why did you say that? Didn't you mean to play with me?
The anger value from Murong Tong is +666+666+666...
How could he know that Zu An was doing this just to earn a wave of anger points.
At this time, Zu An said again: "Apart from Lord Murong, the one who wants me to die the most is probably King Qi. After all, I just disgraced King Qi not long ago and also broke the leg of Prince Qi. If I
King Qi, I’m afraid he wants to kill me.”
Everyone looks weird, it seems you are quite self-aware.
Jiang Boyang coughed: "Do you know what a serious crime it is to frame the prince of the imperial court?"
At the same time, he signaled to the scribe on the side not to record this item for the time being.
Zu An said: "I did not make any false accusations, I just raised some reasonable doubts, and you need to verify and investigate the rest."
Zhen Xueyi and the three of them looked at each other, and they all saw the seriousness in their eyes.
In fact, they felt that this case was full of doubts from the beginning. Even Murong Tong, a die-hard member of King Qi's faction, also suspected that King Qi was behind it.
Seeing the hesitation of several people, Zu An sneered and said: "I just said, I dare say you won't
You must dare to remember it, isn’t it just verified now?”
Zhen Xueyi, who was sitting casually on a chair, spoke up: "It concerns the prince, of course we must be cautious. Can you first tell us if there are any other suspects?"
Zu An smiled half-heartedly: "Are you sure you want me to tell you?"
Several people looked displeased: "Say what you have to say!"
What a joke, even King Qi and the others heard it, could there be someone more troublesome?
But their expressions changed immediately in the next second, because Zu An said: "The other person who may want to kill me is the emperor!"
After a short period of petrification, several people came to their senses one after another. Now even Jiang Boyang was angry: "How brave, do you know that this is a crime of great disrespect!"
The anger value from Jiang Boyang is +22+22+22...
Is this guy stupid? If we really want to investigate, this sentence can cure him of his serious crime.
Zu An sighed: "I just said not to say it. You have to force me to say it. Even if it is disrespectful, we should be disrespectful together."
Zhen Xueyi: "..."
Jiang Boyang: "..."
Murong Tong: "..."
It was Zhen Xueyi who spoke: "First, tell me why you think the emperor will kill you."
Why does this kid deserve a beating so much? It makes me want to give him a beating.
Zu An said: "This matter involves the reputation of the Crown Princess, and whether the Crown Prince has committed adultery... Ahem, and I may be innocent, or I may not be innocent. For the Emperor, isn't the easiest way to do it directly?
Kill me? As an emperor, I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. Isn’t this a basic operation?"
Several people looked at him with expressions of surprise. This guy, a commoner, was so well versed in the art of the emperor. I don't know whether he learned it by himself or who taught him...
Jiang Boyang said at this time: "Your analysis is indeed reasonable, but you have mistaken one thing, that is, the emperor does not care whether you are wronged or not. What he cares most about is whether the princess is innocent, and you can kill her at will.
, but the identity of the Crown Princess is sensitive and cannot be changed casually, so the Emperor will not attack you until all this is found out."
Zu An was a little surprised. He really suspected that it was the emperor who wanted to silence him this time. However, after the other party's analysis, he realized that he was still not as far-reaching as these old political foxes in this regard.
At this time Murong Tong became impatient: "Okay, okay, this guy is talking about things just to confuse our sight. There is no need to say so much. I just want to ask you a question. We investigated other witnesses. Not only did they have
There is evidence for the confession."
"What evidence?" Zu An was startled and quickly recalled it. He didn't think he would leave anything behind that would reveal his identity.
Murong Tong sneered: "Someone in the palace found your clothes and the princess's... dress on the bed at the scene of the witnessing. How do you explain this?"
After saying this, everyone looked at Zu An with sharp eyes.
