The night was as cold as water, and the moonlight enveloped the earth. In this remote and quiet corner of the capital, the sudden appearance of dozens of corpses would make anyone's hair stand on end.
As for Li Yinhu, all his three souls and six souls were scared away.
He never expected that Li Chen would take him to see the corpse, which was the corpse of a prisoner of the White Lotus Sect!
Haven't these people been rescued by their own people and escaped!?
Why did they all die here!?
And how did Li Chen control all of this!?
Li Yinhu was stunned by countless questions.
"King Zhao, come here."
Li Chen in front waved and called Li Yinhu over.
The two stood side by side, and Li Chen said with a smile: "How about it, although this picture is not pretty, but it is very impressive, right?"
The corner of Li Yinhu's mouth twitched, and he asked with difficulty: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, what is going on?"
Li Chen suddenly raised his hand and hooked Li Yinhu's shoulder, making the two of them look extremely intimate.
At the same time, Li Chen lowered his voice and said: "Of course it's a calculation."
"My Minister of Punishment, Zhou Pingan, expected that someone would come to rob the prison, so he poisoned him in advance. If nothing happened tonight, they would have taken the antidote half an hour ago, and nothing would happen. But if
If something goes wrong, then naturally you can't take the antidote, and if the poison attacks, will you die here?"
Patting Li Yinhu's shoulder, Li Chen chuckled and said, "It's just a pity that you can't be a supervisor."
Li Yinhu's mouth curved in an extremely ugly way.
To be honest, the ultimate goal of all his efforts in arranging all this is to avoid being a prison guard. Now, whether these people have escaped or died, they don't have to be prison guards, which is a good thing.
But looking at the smile without any warmth or emotion on Li Chen's face next to him, Li Yinhu couldn't be happy at all.
Because he knew that Li Chen must have a backup plan waiting for him.
But he didn't know what kind of backup plan it would be.
Seeing that Li Yinhu couldn't say a word, Li Chen retracted his hand, then turned around and got on the carriage.
"Go back to the palace."
Just like that, Li Chen left directly.
Li Yinhu was left standing there, feeling so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit blood.
Zhou Ping'an hadn't left yet. He came to Li Yinhu's side lightly and said, "King Zhao, there are some things that are inconvenient for His Highness to say. I will come here to remind you."
Li Yinhu said nothing with a sullen face.
Zhou Ping'an smiled softly. He didn't care about Li Yinhu's attitude towards him. He said softly: "Now, everyone in the world knows that the imperial court has arrested a large number of senior officials of the White Lotus Sect and will be executed on the same day."
"So there are spies from the White Lotus Sect all over the capital. This is inevitable. Even if those spies are asleep tonight, the assassins who assassinated His Highness before are not. So tonight, the prison of the Ministry of Punishment was robbed, and then the prisoner King Zhao
It is no secret that the beheading officer went to the East Palace to meet the prince overnight."
"Based on the relationship between King Zhao and the White Lotus Sect, they are so familiar with each other. They knew that King Zhao wanted to be the supervisor of beheading, and they also knew that King Zhao did not want to take this job. However, King Zhao had to bite the bullet and supervise beheading.
The night before, all the prisoners of the White Lotus Church died. King Zhao, tell me, who does the White Lotus Church think did it?"
"Will they doubt His Highness or King Zhao?"
Looking at Li Yinhu's suddenly pale face, Zhou Pingan's voice was still calm.
"If Your Highness wants to kill them, you can do it directly, why bother with all the trouble. Therefore, you, King Zhao, are the first suspect."
