Emperor Ming waved his hand: "Bring the people up!"
After a while, I saw two imperial guardsmen escorting several people, all covered in blood.
The first woman in shackles was thrown to the ground and cried out in pain: "Ah!"
Ming Lanruo took a look and saw that the woman was dressed like the assassin leader who pretended to be a pipa dancer that day, and the veil on her face was even still there!
Ming Lanruo was stunned: "This... the assassin was caught?"
She quickly glanced at Cang Qiao, who was sitting at the top, and saw that he was supporting his chin with one hand and nonchalantly turning the string of beads in his hand.
Feeling that she was looking over, he raised his eyes to look at her, slightly curved the corners of his lips, smiled a little evilly, and seemed to say silently - don't worry.
When Ming Lanruo smiled at him, his face felt a little hot for no reason.
In public, why is he smiling so... so seductively, no, why is he smiling so coquettishly!
The Minister of Punishment suddenly raised his hand and saluted: "Your Majesty, when the imperial army searched the city, they captured the assassin leader and her men."
Cang Qiao said calmly: "The Forbidden Army is very powerful. Even the Jinyi Guards of Dongchang have not caught anyone. Under the leadership of the Criminal Department, the Forbidden Army has made rapid progress."
The Minister of Punishment had a straight face and said coldly: "I don't dare to compete with Master Qiantose. I'm just lucky."
This time, almost no one from Dongchang actually moved. I heard that His Majesty the Emperor did not allow Jiu Qiansui to intervene in the investigation of this case. It seems that His Majesty is still somewhat suspicious of Cang Qiao!
It's a good thing that the emperor is suspicious of Cang Qiao!
After saying that, the Minister of Punishment looked at the woman who was dragged up coldly, and asked sharply: "Who is there?"
The female assassin leader had obviously been tortured. She struggled to hold her body up, spat blood on the ground, and cursed——
"You bunch of dog emperors...dog officials...poof!"
Emperor Ming's face changed drastically, and he slapped the table angrily: "How outrageous! Drag me down and beat you hard!"
The female assassin seemed frightened, and actually looked at Ming Lanruo: "Ming Fei...save this subordinate!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall couldn't help but whisper among themselves. They didn't expect that the assassin actually knew Concubine Ming!
Emperor Ming looked at Ming Lanruo with a murderous look in his eyes - it was indeed Ming Lanruo who was the mastermind!
Ming Lanruo was also dressed in plain clothes, which made her appearance even colder. She looked at the female assassin—
"If you are really a member of the Red Blood Legion of the Xiao family; if you really think that the destruction of the Xiao family has something to do with His Majesty."
"If you hate everything about the royal family, then why do you call me Ming Fei?"
"This is a royal title given by His Majesty. In your eyes, this title should be nothing more than an insult."
Her few understatement questions made the female assassin leader freeze for a moment and stuttered: "I...Ming...Ming...Xiao Xiao...
"
For a moment, she suddenly didn't know what to call Ming Lanruo.
When people around him saw this, they couldn't help but feel a little confused. Although what Ming Lanruo said was a trivial matter, it did make sense!
The Minister of Punishment looked at Ming Lanruo coldly: "Ming Fei, don't make excuses, it's just a title, it doesn't mean anything!"
The female assassin immediately calmed down and showed a heartbroken look: "Ming Fei, you are because your subordinates are useless... you want to give up on those of us who have worked hard for you??"
Ming Lanruo looked at her and said calmly: "Of course I will not give up on you."
Everyone was stunned. This... did Concubine Ming admit that she knew these assassins?
Did she say she was crazy?
The female assassin was stunned and glanced furtively at the Minister of Justice.
Why is this different from what was said before?
The Minister of Punishment was suspicious, but he immediately looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty..."
Ming Lanruo interrupted him unceremoniously and sneered at the assassins——
