Chapter 573 Investigation
With the net of heaven and earth severed, Li Wenzhong missed his target and fell to the ground. Because both his arms were severed, it was quite difficult for him to stand up. In the end, Ye Ru directly used the Sacred Ancient Tree to bind him up.
"let me go!"
Li Wenzhong kept tearing at the sacred ancient tree with his teeth, his heart filled with extreme anger. In his eyes, Ye Ru was nothing more than an accomplice to evil.
"Calm down first. Lord Wen will explain this matter to you clearly."
With a slight frown, Ye Ru gently reprimanded.
"Explain yourself? He'll probably torture me to death, hahaha. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I almost would have believed his one-sided story. Let me go, or at least give me a quick death!"
Li Wenzhong's face was filled with madness as he struggled desperately, but he could not break free from the shackles of the Sacred Ancient Tree.
Seeing this, Ye Ru waved his hand, and the ancient sacred tree tightened its grip on him.
Wen Xiang shook his head but did not stop him. Humans and demons were mortal enemies, but the current situation made him have some complicated thoughts.
But then, he suddenly remembered someone.
Left Prime Minister!
If there is a secret, then it must be a scheme used by the Left Prime Minister. It seems that the other party was also waiting for this opportunity, waiting for him to make a mistake.
If he killed Li Wenzhong in front of him, he could be convicted of murdering a relative.
However, if I release the other party, the Left Chancellor will probably go to the National Academy and accuse me of treason. If Li Wenzhong testifies on my behalf, I will still be unable to escape being removed from my position as Chancellor and then exiled to a remote area.
No matter what, you will fall into their trap.
The only way to avert this danger is to make Li Wenzhong let go of his hatred and believe that he could never have been the one to kill his elder brother.
However, given the current situation, he knew he couldn't persuade the other party at all; Li Wenzhong was blinded by hatred.
"Your Excellency, what should be done with this person?"
Ye Ru took a deep breath and did not take action on his own. Judging from the previous conversation between the two, the other party must be related by blood, and he knew the advantages and disadvantages of this.
"Let's take him back and deal with him first."
The Prime Minister seemed to have aged considerably. He knew he absolutely could not kill the other party; this was precisely the trap set by the Prime Minister, who had exploited his weakness.
"it is good."
Ye Ru nodded, and the Sacred Ancient Tree directly enveloped the opponent into a cocoon. Based on the power of the Sacred Ancient Tree, no one else could break through it, which also protected Li Wenzhong.
"Thank you very much."
After resolving these matters, Ye Ru sent him to prison for strict guard, where he eventually encountered Wen Xiang again.
Meanwhile, inside the Left Prime Minister's room at the Left Prime Minister's residence.
The Left Prime Minister lay back in his armchair, leisurely sipping his tea, seemingly oblivious to what was happening in the palace.
The palace's security was originally the responsibility of the Imperial Guards, and the Minister of Civil Affairs also bore some responsibility. He himself was only in charge of diplomacy and could turn a deaf ear to palace affairs. Even if he was blamed, he would have something to say about it.
After a while, the gate was opened and a soldier came in. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be a junior officer of the Imperial Guard.
"Greetings, Your Excellency, the Left Prime Minister."
The voice lingered there for a moment, then the Left Prime Minister slowly opened his eyes and said:
"Hmm, how's the situation at the palace?"
"Reporting to the Left Prime Minister, the crisis in the palace has been resolved, and the Minister of Literature has also captured a person. This person is exactly as the Left Prime Minister predicted; he is indeed the Minister of Literature's nephew. However, there seems to be some misunderstanding between them."
The soldier spoke respectfully, his face extremely solemn. He knew the methods of the man before him; if he spoke incorrectly, he would likely be killed on the spot.
"Hehe, this is getting more and more interesting. Let's see how you, Li Baiyuan, deal with this situation."
A mocking smile played on his lips. The Left Prime Minister slowly set down his teacup, then looked at the soldier and said:
"Keep a close eye on things for me. I have to attend court tomorrow, and this time, I must make sure that Minister Wen is removed from office!"
'At that time, the entire court and the public will be under my sole command, Qin Anmin!'
"Hahaha."
Laughter emanated from the Left Prime Minister's residence, shattering its tranquility and sending a chill down the soldier's spine. He then whispered:
"As ordered."
Watching the departing soldier's back, the Left Prime Minister closed his eyes again, seemingly pondering his words for tomorrow.
"Who dares to commit such a heinous act in the imperial palace? Does the Yanhuang Kingdom have no one to rely on?"
On the morning of the second day, Ye Ru and the others stood respectfully in the main hall. The Emperor of Yanhuang stood up, looking around with a majestic gaze and a furious expression on his face.
He never imagined that someone would dare to commit violence here, despite the layers of restrictions in the palace. It was truly outrageous!
"Your Majesty, I have failed in my duty and have caused you distress."
Wen Xiang stepped forward, then bowed to His Majesty of the Yanhuang Kingdom, and said apologetically.
"The defense of the capital, especially the palace, is of paramount importance. The most important thing is the safety of His Majesty. Since the Minister of War is not here, shouldn't the Minister of Civil Affairs be in charge? Where is the murderer? Hasn't the murderer already been caught? Why don't we interrogate him in public?"
The Left Prime Minister, who had been standing to the side with his eyes slightly closed, opened them, glanced around briefly, and finally let out a cold laugh.
"Yes, the murderer has been caught and is being interrogated. This is unprecedented."
The Vice Minister of War frowned, but upon seeing the Left Prime Minister's eagle-like gaze, he felt a chill run down his spine and quickly said:
"However, all of this still requires His Majesty's decision."
Ye Ru and Wen Xiang, who were standing to the side, looked rather grim. Ye Ru had also guessed that all of this might have been a scheme devised by the Left Prime Minister.
"Hmph, daring to commit violence in my palace, he is truly audacious. Bring that person here, I want to see what this person is up to."
The Emperor of Yanhuang Kingdom seemed to be furious as well, and immediately waved his hand, intending to bring Li Wenzhong over. Just then, Ye Ru stepped forward, bowed to the former, and said:
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. I subdued him yesterday, but the thing I used to restrain him was a magical artifact, and he is currently unconscious. Therefore, it is only right and proper that Your Majesty waits until I remove the artifact before bringing him here. What do you say?"
Ye Ru pondered for a moment, then spoke to the Emperor of Yanhuang Kingdom.
"Um……"
These words calmed the Emperor of Yanhuang Kingdom down. He completely trusted Ye Ru, and then said:
"This matter is entrusted to Chief Ye. He must thoroughly investigate this person's background and eliminate him completely. The capital is a crucial city, and we will not allow this to happen again!"
