Chapter 275: The Calm Before the Storm

And here, the emperor also found an appropriate time, and called Su Yiyi alone to inquire.

It's nothing more than how they were assassinated in the first place, how she escaped, and where did the Tatsukuni proton go?

He asked very carefully, and some questions were asked over and over again, giving Su Yiyi a set, if he was a little careless, he was likely to be asked a flaw.

But fortunately, Yin Jingrui had long expected that the emperor might be like this, so he had discussed a complete set of statements with Su Yiyi in advance.

So even if the emperor asked very tricky, Su Yiyi still had a thrilling thing to fool over.

When the emperor saw that he asked like this, he couldn't figure out anything, so he had no choice but to put the person back.

But after Su Yiyi left, the emperor did not relax, and his brows became more and more wrinkled.

Abnormality is a demon, and the more Su Yiyi answered without flaws, the more unusual he felt.

Let's ask, she is a woman, in that case, if she is an ordinary woman, I am afraid that she will be scared of the four gods a long time ago, where can she be as calm as Su Yiyi? After such a long time, I can still explain the situation so clearly at that time in an orderly manner.

If the emperor is suspicious of someone, he will only become more and more suspicious, so no matter how Su Yiyi behaves, he will only feel that she is trying to cover up.

Gonggong Li also understood the emperor's character, and he immediately took the opportunity to slander: "Your Majesty, this Su Yiyi must be lying, why did you just let her go back?" ”

"You can also see, the answers are not leaky, even if I know that she is lying, but what can I do?"

He is the emperor, and he has to act and do everything right, so even if he knows that Su Yiyi is lying, but there is no substantive evidence, he has no way to ask her about her crimes.

"Your Majesty, isn't it easy to get her to tell the truth?"

"And what do you have a good idea?" The Emperor glanced at him.

"Your Majesty, there are many ways to make her speak, it depends on whether Your Majesty agrees."

Gonggong Li said as if he was joking, with a bit of temptation.

The emperor immediately understood what he meant, which was to punish Su Yiyi.

However, the emperor was a little hesitant, and now he was only suspicious of Chang Rui, and he was not sure that this matter was really related to Chang Rui.

Chang Rui cared so much about Su Yiyi, and before he was completely disappointed in him, the emperor still didn't want to come to this point.

Gonggong Li also understood the emperor's hesitation, but he did not give up.

"Hey, it's a pity that the proton, at a young age, he lost his life in vain because of a woman." He sighed softly and sighed.

The voice was not light or heavy, just enough for the emperor to hear.

Although he knew that he was deliberately saying it to himself, the emperor couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by this?" ”

His expression was still a little unhappy, after all, Gonggong Li's words obviously implied that Yin Jingrui's death was related to Su Yiyi.

The emperor also understood Gonggong Li's thoughts, which was nothing more than trying to squeeze Chang Rui down, but although he liked to watch his own people fight openly and secretly, it didn't mean that he liked to be led by the nose.

There are words in Gonggong Li's words, obviously implying that Yin Jingrui's death is related to Su Yiyi, and he wants to let himself hand over Su Yiyi to him.

When the time comes, he will make a trick, even if this matter has nothing to do with Chang Rui, it will become related to Chang Rui.

It's a very unpleasant feeling to be taken advantage of!

"Your Majesty, don't misunderstand, the slave only heard a rumor, so he casually sighed."

Gonggong Li had already prepared his speech, so he didn't show any panic.

"What rumors?"

"Your Majesty, didn't you let the slave go out to investigate the manager of Chang a few days ago, who knew that the person sent by the slave was outside the palace, and I heard a rumor by chance." Gonggong Li said, and looked at the emperor hesitantly, as if asking him whether to say it or not.

Annoyed by his slightly sneaky movements, the emperor raised his voice and said, "What rumors? You said! ”

"That's right, the people of the slaves heard that there was a person who claimed to be the killer of Yan Pavilion and said that some time ago, they received an order, and someone asked them to assassinate the proton of Chenguo."

"Really?" The emperor frowned and expressed doubt, and stared at Gonggong Li for a moment, "This Yan Ge I have also heard that it is the most powerful killer organization in the rivers and lakes, mysterious and extraordinary, but it is also the most trustworthy organization, and it will never sell the name of the employer, even if it is really Chang Ruimai murder, how can the people of Yan Pavilion spread it to your ears?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minions don't know whether this matter is true or not, but it's just a joke for you." Gonggong Li said with a smile, and added to himself as he spoke, "Speaking from the heart, the slave doesn't believe it, after all, Manager Chang has a lot of private property, so how can he not pay the honorarium." ”

"Honoraria? What kind of honorarium, you tell me clearly. ”

It seemed to be an unintentional murmur, but it immediately attracted the emperor's attention.

"Oh, it's the person who called himself the killer who said that Chang Gonggong had said that he would pay Yan Ge 800,000 taels of silver after the matter was completed, but who knew that in the end he only gave 500,000 taels and didn't give it, they sent people to collect the money many times, but Chang Gonggong kept delaying.

In the end, they were forced to be anxious, but they ignored them, and they were forced to be unable to do it, so they came out to publicize it everywhere. ”

The Emperor immediately fell into deep thought.

This seemed to be a false accusation, but the emperor thought about it seriously for a while, but the more he felt that it made sense.

Chang Rui also knows a little about his temperament, and he will repay him, when he went to Jiangnan for disaster relief, he walked on the front foot, and Yin Jingrui robbed his woman on the back foot, and it was entirely possible for him to buy and kill Yin Jingrui.

And he was going to disaster relief at that time, and he must not have too much money on him, if he wanted to buy a murderer, it was possible that he couldn't pay the honorarium!

What's more, that Su Yiyi, Chenguo Proton and his guards are all dead, but she can survive as a weak woman, and she can escape to Jiangnan unscathed, if this matter is done by Chang Rui, then it can be said that it is completely over.

"Send someone to Jiangnan immediately and summon the prefect into the palace!" As if thinking of something, the emperor suddenly commanded.

Knowing that his plan must have worked, Gonggong Li tried to hide his excitement and said in a loud voice: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

After that, the palace seemed to be calm for a few days.

On this day, a little eunuch who ran errands beside the emperor came over and told Yin Jingrui that the emperor had sent him to Shufu to ask how the refining of the pill was going.

Recently, the emperor had become suspicious of himself, and instead of letting him serve by his side as he had done before, he only sent him some inconsequential things under the pretext that he was too tired.

Therefore, Yin Jingrui didn't feel that something was wrong, explained a few words to Su Yiyi, and left the palace.

Not long after Chang Rui left, Chang Gong suddenly came to a palace maid with a face, saying that Concubine Die's mother was looking for Su Yiyi in an urgent matter and asked her to go quickly.

There is a way to care about chaos, and Su Yiyi didn't have time to notice that this palace maid was not the one who Zhu Dieyi was used to serving, so she immediately followed her.
