Xiao Jingyao responded lightly, looked at the assassins in front of him with a stern look, and said word by word: "Tell me, is it the Prime Minister's own intention or the Emperor's intention to bribe you to assassinate me?"
Several assassins kneeling on the ground frowned slightly and muttered a few words in a low voice, but didn't know what they were saying. Seeing that they refused to answer, Xiao Jingyao coughed lowly, and the yamen runners picked up the big board and beat them hard.
.
Although several assassins came and went in the wind and rain, this was the first time that they had endured such a punishment. Seeing that their companions were beaten to the ground, the leader finally spoke, "Even if you beat us to death, we will do it."
I don’t know who gave this order? We are only responsible for taking money and doing things, and everything else has nothing to do with us!”
Xiao Jingyao looked at them thoughtfully, knowing that they dared not tell lies, so he waved his hand to let the yamen runners stop.
Xiao Duo, the prince of the Changsha King who had been quietly watching Xiao Jingyao interrogating these assassins, also spoke at this time.
"I guess they don't know these details... It's just that this time the Prime Minister openly sent assassins to assassinate the King of Luoyang who had made great achievements, and he was really against me, Dayin!"
After Xiao Duo said this slowly, he turned his gaze to the prefect of Luoyang, who was pale on the side, and asked with a smile: "Prince, do you think I'm right?"
"What the prince said is extremely!" The prefect of Luoyang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and replied with a wry smile: "I guess the emperor was deceived by the prime minister, so that this kind of thing happened!"
"Prime Minister Fang Shixian killed the Guanglu Dafu Fan Qing, and sent assassins to assassinate this king. If his intentions are not right, he should be punished... Lord Prefect, you should understand what to do!"
Xiao Jingyao said lightly, his expression still as calm as before, but the prefect of Luoyang could still hear the faint intimidation under his calm tone.
He hardly dared to hesitate for a moment, so he nodded and said, "The official understands, come and throw these assassins into death row and behead them on a date!"
After giving the order, his legs were shaking faintly.
Although he was appointed by the emperor and transferred to Luoyang as the prefect, and understood the purpose of the emperor's transfer to Luoyang, he was afraid from the bottom of his heart when he saw Luoyang King Xiao Jingyao!
Luoyang King Xiao Jingyao is worthy of being a prince with great military achievements. The awe-inspiring momentum all over his body is enough to make him awe!
Even when facing the emperor, he didn't feel that way...
Now the Luoyang King personally interrogated these assassins, and the words of the prince of Changsha, which made him vaguely understand that these princes... were going to confront the court!
As for him, the local official, he either depends on the King of Luoyang or has a dead end!
"Sir, are you okay?" Xiao Jingyao saw that the Luoyang prefect looked bad and asked with concern.
The prefect of Luoyang smiled a little reluctantly, but nodded and replied in fear and fear: "Thank you for your concern, the prince is very good, but... I'm a little unbelievable!"
Xiao Jingyao patted the Luoyang prefect on the shoulder and said, "The prefect is a person who knows the current affairs. What should you do and what shouldn't be done, so there is no need for me to remind you more!"
"Sir, please wait for the prince's order!" The prefect of Luoyang had already made a decision quickly and bowed his hand and said.
Seeing Xiao Jingyao nodding with satisfaction, the Luoyang prefect breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his usual seriousness as an official. He waved his hand and ordered: "Take all these assassins down to me and behead them in the city at noon tomorrow!"
