Chapter 444: Critical Hit, Combo, and Critical Hit
When Sun Shaozong led Liu Luanwei to the front living room, they saw that it was deserted without a trace of worldly atmosphere. There were only two senior officials in red robes sitting opposite each other, not saying a word.
The one who was extremely famous was naturally the Cabinet Grand Secretary Xu Furen, but the other one was also no stranger, he was none other than Xu Liang, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, who had presided over the "Special Meeting on the Rectification of the Immortal Powder".
This time, Xu Fu-ren was in charge of the overall situation, and the ones who were truly responsible for leading the investigation were Sun Shaozong and Xu Liang.
Seeing the solemn atmosphere in the hall, Liu Luanwei hesitated to move forward, but Sun Shaozong did not hesitate at all. He stepped over the threshold, bowed and said, "This subordinate greets the elder and the minister."
Liu Luanwei had no choice but to follow in and pay his respects.
After the two men had finished their greetings, Lord Xu waved his hand, indicating calmly that they did not need to be so formal.
Xu Liang, who was standing by, asked with great expectation, "Sun Zhizhong, I wonder if you have found any clues?"
“This…”
Sun Shaozong was considering how to choose his words when he heard a sound of footsteps approaching from afar, and then he saw a young eunuch guarding the secret room appear outside the hall door.
"Your Excellency, the criminal woman Li has been vomiting several times since this afternoon. Just now, when the servants tried to feed her, she vomited all over again."
The sharp voice made Xu Ge Lao's face tense , and he couldn't help but ask, "Besides vomiting, did the prisoner have any symptoms of diarrhea?"
As expected, he is an old and experienced person. He immediately grasped the key difference between diarrhea and morning sickness.
Although Xu Liang was a little slow, he suddenly realized what was going on after hearing what Lord Xu asked, and quickly locked his eyes on the eunuch.
"That has not happened."
The eunuch shook his head and said, "She just vomited, she didn't have any diarrhea symptoms."
Minister Xu's face turned strange, and he lowered his head and pondered.
Elder Xu frowned, but glanced at Sun Shaozong nonchalantly before asking loudly, "Besides that, did you see anything else unusual while guarding the secret room?"
This time it was the young eunuch's turn to secretly look at Sun Shaozong. However, seeing that Sun Shaozong looked calm and composed, he hesitated for a moment, thinking of the speculation about "instructions from above". In the end, he did not dare to mention that Sun Shaozong had gone in twice and Li had vomited both times. He just shook his head and said, "Other than that, there was nothing unusual."
Lord Xu also fell silent. He and Minister Xu looked like a pair of clay or wooden sculptures, except for their two pairs of eyes that were sparkling.
At this time, Sun Shaozong cast his gaze on Liu Luanwei, as if he was expecting something, or as if he was silently urging him.
Liu Luanwei felt his heart pounding wildly. He finally understood what Sun Shaozong's instigation to "take a chance" meant!
This damn monkey created such a heinous scam, but refused to take responsibility. Instead, he wanted to trick me into going through fire and water. He is so vicious!
Indeed, if this outrageous lie could really silence the public, then as the person who "saw through" this matter, I would naturally be the one who made the greatest contribution.
But what if this absurd and bizarre scam was exposed?
Wouldn't I be guilty of an even greater crime then?
Besides, if this skill was really that easy, wouldn't the three people in the room have already said it? !
No matter how you look at it, this deal is not worth it, so Liu Luanwei secretly cursed Sun Shaozong for being vicious, while avoiding Sun Shaozong's gaze like a turtle.
However……
"Liu Fucheng."
After Sun Shaozong stared at him to no avail, he said nonchalantly, "I wonder if your family is in this mansion? If they are, you might as well go back and reunite with them first, in case an imperial decree suddenly comes down and you don't have time to say goodbye to them."
What a vicious guy!
Liu Luanwei's heart was beating so wildly that it almost jumped out of his throat!
These words may sound insignificant at first, but upon closer inspection, they are clearly a threat to his life!
He was feeling anxious and uneasy, but Elder Xu said slowly, "After all, we are still kings and subjects. Remember to go see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first."
If Sun Shaozong's threat might have been a bit of an empty threat, Lord Xu's words almost nailed Liu Luanwei to the gallows!
He was so frightened that his legs were shaking and he almost collapsed to the ground.
And that’s not all.
Minister Xu was slower than usual, but he was much more ruthless than the previous two. He sneered and said, "It is not necessary to meet the family. Anyway, the case has not been solved yet. If it is found that Liu Fucheng is involved, we can at least have a family reunion."
This is actually going to execute his entire family!
Plop~
After being hit by "critical hits, combos, and fatal blows" one after another, Liu Luanwei finally collapsed to the ground with his knees weak.
Why?!
Who on earth did I offend? !
Liu Luanwei really wanted to jump up and yell loudly, exposing the evil tricks and vicious intentions of the three people in front of him!
But don't say that he is just a criminal now. Even in normal times, it would not be difficult for Lord Xu, Minister Xu, and Sun Shaozong to join forces to kill his entire family!
No matter how hard he tried to defend himself, it would be in vain.
The only thing that can change the situation is...
"My lords!"
Liu Luanwei almost cried as he said in a sad voice: "In my humble opinion, then... then Li might... possibly... probably... is... pregnant!"
After finally uttering the words "pregnant", his forehead was already covered with sweat.
"Hiss~"
The three people in the hall took a deep breath at the same time, all with expressions of shock on their faces.
Sun Shaozong questioned in an unbelievable way: "Prime Minister Liu, please be careful with your words. How can such a coincidence happen in the world? That criminal bit off the crown prince's dragon root, and now she is pregnant with the crown prince's dragon seed - even street operas would not dare to make up such a bizarre story!"
Be careful with what you say, you ghost!
It's obvious that you were the one who caused all this!
Liu Luanwei was secretly complaining madly in his heart, wishing he could pounce on Sun Shaozong and bite him to death, but now that he had already boarded this pirate ship, he could only grit his teeth and go on until the end.
Then he continued in a trembling voice: "My Lords, although I am not sure whether Li is really pregnant, but in the months before the incident, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did favor Li many times, and did not let her drink contraceptive medicine."
As he spoke, Liu Luanwei knocked heavily on the ground: "This matter concerns the rule of our Great Zhou. Even if there is only a slight possibility, you gentlemen should deal with it carefully!"
"What Liu Fucheng said makes a lot of sense!"
Seeing Liu Luanwei's words, Sun Shaozong immediately bowed and said in a dignified manner: "Please make a prompt decision and quickly find out the truth of the facts. We must not destroy the seeds of the country and the foundation of our Great Zhou due to a moment of negligence."
