Of course, this strange silence did not last long. When Minister Tang saw Chu Yun, he did not care about his rudeness. Instead, he said again," Sir Wang, let's continue the court meeting!" Wang Erzhe nodded. Just as he was about to speak, Chu Yun suddenly said," So Elder Tang is here too! I was in a hurry just now and didn't pay my respects to Elder Tang. Please forgive me, Elder Tang!" “……” Wang Erzhe was speechless when he saw Chu Yun hurriedly cupping his fists..

"You didn't notice that there was someone sitting in this corner? You treated him like he didn't exist. I almost thought he was your subordinate. F * ck! You scared me!" The officials below also twitched their lips. They thought to themselves, Chu Yun is too much. Who is he scaring with such a sudden move? " It's fine!" Reverend Tang's expression darkened. He shook his head and said," It's fine!" Chu Lie looked at his son's actions and frowned slightly. He seemed to have thought of something and said," Yun 'er! Come out with me for a while!" After saying that, he did not care about the confused gazes of the other officials and walked straight to the side door of the hall..

Chu Yun replied yes and immediately followed suit..

Looking at Chu Lie's departing figure, Wang Erzhe couldn't help but snort coldly..

Now that they were in the middle of a court meeting, how could they enter and exit so casually? Did they still have the dignity of this court meeting in their eyes? Seeing this scene, Reverend Tang's expression darkened even more, but he did not say anything in the end..

" Everyone! Those who still have different opinions about the crown prince's accession can raise them on the spot. We can discuss them at the meeting!" Wang Erzhe repeated this sentence again, causing the originally silent atmosphere to stir up again..

After the ministers discussed it, no one raised any questions about the Crown Prince's conduct or ability..

Anyone with discerning eyes can see that Prime Minister Wang firmly supports the crown prince's accession to the throne. Even if you keep using reasons such as lack of reputation and ability to stop the crown prince, you will still be implicated..

After all, Chu Hua's status was here. He was the rightful heir to the throne. Without any substantial reason, there was no way to stop the Crown Prince from succeeding to the throne..

At this point, there seemed to be nothing that could stop Chu Hua from ascending to the throne. However, when the ministers looked at Chu Hua in front of them, they found that the latter's expression was still very ugly. It did not change because of this..

Sure enough, just as Wang Erzhe was about to continue speaking after a moment of silence, another person slowly walked out of the crowd..

Chu Hua's face instantly turned pale when he saw this person step out..

" Prime Minister! This humble subject has something to report to all of you. This matter should not have been mentioned in public at the court meeting, but at this time, this humble subject has no choice but to say it!" Hearing this, many officials present also looked curiously at the high-ranking official who had stepped forward..

Minister of Justice Wu Hongbo.

At this moment, even Reverend Tang, who was sitting quietly at the side, had a visibly gloomy expression. However, the object he was looking at was not the Minister of Justice, but the pale-faced Crown Prince Chu Hua standing at the very front! " Lord Wu, please speak!" Wang Erzhe narrowed his eyes and looked at this person. His heart was not calm..

It turned out that the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Justice were Chu Yun's men! Chu had only set up three ministries, and the leaders of two ministries had already been infiltrated by Chu Yun. From the looks of it, this little brat was really capable! He knew at a glance that Wu Hongbo was Chu Yun's man, and the reason was simple..

If this Minister of Justice had really found out something important, he would definitely not have said it directly in front of all the officials at this court meeting. No matter what, he would have discussed it with me, the regent for a short time..

Such a scandal could only be brought up to the surface after all the big shots had discussed it. Otherwise, they would leave no way out and plan to deal with it to the death! " Reporting to Prime Minister! At that time, I was ordered to investigate the truth of the king's murder with Elder Tang. For several days, there has been no progress. It was only yesterday that there was some important breakthrough!" As soon as he said this, it was like dropping a heavy bomb on the ministers. Everyone present exploded! The cause of death of King Chu! Although Chu Gang had passed away, the officials present knew it very well..

Chu Gang was poisoned! From Wu Hongbo's words, the murderer had been found? Wang Erzhe's emotionless eyes stared at Wu Hongbo, who stood out from the crowd, and it actually made him break out in a cold sweat..

Just yesterday? Funny..

：.

： I'm afraid he knew about it from the day Chu King had an accident and was waiting for this court meeting to be made public to the world! " Tell me!" No matter how unwilling he was, Wang Erzhe couldn't stop him from reporting truthfully! " At that time, thanks to Honored Servant Tang's generosity, I discussed it with this humble subject for a long time. Finally, after confirming with Elder Tang repeatedly, the king's death had nothing to do with cultivators and demons. It could only be poisoned by mortals!" This time, the officials were shocked once again. A mortal had committed a crime? How did he avoid the guards in the palace? Not to mention, the King of Chu had the protection of Elder Tang. How could a mortal succeed? " Elder Tang also explained the specific reasons to me. Firstly, there are high-level demon-detecting magic tools in the palace, which eliminates the possibility of demons committing crimes! Secondly, Elder Tang has set up a large array in King Chu's bedroom. This array can detect the spells cast by cultivators, so it also excludes the possibility of cultivators committing crimes!" "From this, I surmised that the arsenic poison could only have been sneaked into my residence by mortals. For this reason, I captured all the palace maids and attendants of the King of Chu that night and interrogated them..

Due to the importance of this matter, Elder Tang was present when I interrogated those suspects!" Everyone looked over. Elder Tang closed his eyes and nodded..

" Then may I ask Lord Wu, did you find any results from the interrogation?" Zhou Shuyuan, the Minister of Revenue, asked anxiously, as if Chu Gang was not the one who died, but his father..

Wu Hongbo looked regretful." We interrogated them for three whole days. In the end, based on everyone's testimony, there is basically no possibility that they committed the crime!" " This is outrageous! Could it be a ghost? Lord Wu, are you sure you checked all the people who entered and left the king's bedroom that night?" "That's not…" Wu Hongbo was strangely silent for a moment, as if he had something difficult to say..

" Lord Wu, don't keep me in suspense in court! It's about the king's death, what else can't you say?" Lord Zhou became more anxious as he spoke, looking as if he wanted to rush up and speak for him..

Under Zhou Shuyuan's " pressure ", Wu Hongbo finally understood. His eyes were firm and he said word by word," According to the clues provided by the palace maids, I have concluded that there was another person who entered the Chu Palace that night! This person, I did not investigate and interrogate!" " Lord Wu! This is your fault! Prime Minister Wang assigned such an important matter to you. How could you be so careless? You must investigate everyone thoroughly. Maybe the king was killed by the last person?" Zhou Shuyuan said angrily," Lord Wu, tell everyone who that person is. Why don't you arrest and interrogate him?" " This…this…" Wu Hongbo gritted his teeth and knelt on his knees with a bang." That…that person is His Highness the Crown Prince! At that time, the King had passed away not long ago and the Crown Prince was already in grief. How could I suspect the Crown Prince at that time? Wouldn't that be a crime worthy of death!" There was not a single part of Lord Wu's words that did not express sadness, resentment, and anger, as if he had done something extremely wrong..

After hearing this, the entire audience fell into a strange silence once again. Zhou Shuyun, who was singing in unison just now, did not dare to speak anymore. He looked shocked and his expression was extremely interesting! Crown…Crown Prince? Chu Gang was his father. Was he really so cruel that he wanted to kill his own father for the throne? This was too outrageous! "But…you're already suspecting the Crown Prince, aren't you?" However, at this moment, Wang Erzhe's cold words directly poured a cold field, interrupting the rhythm of the officials being brought up..

Wang Erzhe turned his head and looked at Chu Hua. He asked indifferently," May I ask Your Highness, is the King poisoned by Your Highness?" " Prime Minister, what are you talking about? No matter how bad I am, I will never do such an outrageous thing!" Chu Hua immediately replied angrily. Tch! How could the murderer admit his guilt? This Prime Minister Wang must be old and muddleheaded. Only a fool would admit to asking him so bluntly. He must have evidence…Hmm? Right! Where's the evidence? Just listening to the two people singing the same song, in the end, he actually thought that the Crown Prince was the murderer! But even so, the Crown Prince only had the conditions to kill. There was no evidence to prove that the poison was inflicted by the Crown Prince! All the officials felt a chill in their hearts and immediately understood the key point. Just now, they had been led directly into the ditch by the Minister of Justice..

" It's a serious crime to frame the Crown Prince. Lord Wu, you have to think carefully. These words…you can't spout nonsense!" Wang Erzhe turned to look at Wu Hongbo with a warning look in his eyes..

Wu Hongbo naturally knew that this guess alone would definitely not convict Chu Hua, but… " I know! I don't believe that the Crown Prince would do such a cruel thing, so I didn't immediately ask the Crown Prince. Instead, I continued to investigate this matter!" " Since Your Majesty was poisoned by arsenic, I thought of starting with the poison. Arsenic can be bought in some medicine shops, but detailed records are needed. Who bought it and what purpose did it have? It's just that…the poisoner is too cunning. All the medicine shops in Chu Capital have no records of buying arsenic recently! I have no choice but to send people to the nearby Hua City and Feng City to investigate and see if I can find anything…" " Fortunately, my efforts have not been wasted! I have found the account books for buying arsenic in both Hua City and Feng City!" Lord Wu's eyes gradually brightened up as if he had encountered something exciting." The person who bought arsenic is extremely cunning. He did not go directly to the pharmacy to buy it, but asked someone to transfer it. It takes several hands to get it into the hands of the final buyer! Our Ministry of Justice people investigated for three days and finally found a buyer from Chujing! This person's name is Fang Hu, and he's an out-and-out Chujing!" Okay, you're three days old again. I've really let you understand!
