Chapter 21 is full of loopholes
The so-called "the wall is down, everyone pushes, and everyone hammers the drum", probably at this time, Mingzhuo has a deep understanding.
A few people, you say a word to me, and I don't even have a chance to explain it.
Seeing his indignant and aggrieved look, he obviously wanted to say that he was wronged.
At this moment, he was already surrounded by the soldiers in the palace, and he was even more surrounded by the Yan commander's sword around his neck, and the slightest misconduct might cost him his life.
Trembling and kneeling, Ming Zhuo kept shouting "wronged" in his mouth, but unfortunately, the facts were not counted by him.
Although she was also angry, Ye Lan was not confused, she was curious about how Jiang Li decided that this person was the murderer.
Although it sounded suspicious, there was no conclusive evidence, could it just that he refused to eat the piece of pastry in his hand?
The pastries were brought back by her personally ordered Huang E to go out of the palace, and it stands to reason that there is nothing abnormal, and at this moment, she can only look at Jiang Li and wait for him to explain the basis.
"Wronged, let me tell you for you!"
After asking rhetorically, without waiting for Ming Zhuo to refute, Jiang Li continued to look at himself and said: "First of all, tell me, why did everyone eat the pastries, but you didn't?
I wonder why you still insist on eating such a beautifully made pastry, and the princess herself ordered it?
I'm guessing you're worried you're going to die if you eat it, right?
Although the pastries are exquisite, they are just ordinary materials, and even if you have a stomach trouble for a few days after eating, it will not kill you.
But if it's a highly toxic pastry, maybe it's different, right?"
Hearing this, Ming Zhuo was a little annoyed and angry, it really looked like he had been wronged.
At the moment, he didn't care about Jiang Li's identity, and said angrily: "You are talking nonsense! There are so many pastries, could it be that I will know which piece is poisonous in advance?"
Everyone was also puzzled, it was a bit too far-fetched.
"Of course, no one really knows which piece is poisonous.
However, if one of these pastries is poisonous, and everyone eats it and there is nothing abnormal, then is the last piece left to be poisonous?
That's why you don't want to eat it.
If you are not a murderer, and you don't know that you will be poisoned to death if you eat it, why are you so reluctant to swallow it?
Because you suspect that it must be poisonous, and since others are safe and sound after eating it, then the poisonous one is naturally this piece in your hand. ”
Without waiting for Ming Zhuo to refute halfway, Jiang Li talked eloquently, revealing his conjectures, opinions and deliberations.
In this way, the person who had just eaten the pastry suddenly felt a little afraid, and also felt a little afraid of this young man who seemed to be gentle and laughing, and at the same time, he almost decided that Mingzhuo was the murderer.
Thinking back to the process just now, they all understood at this moment that if they hadn't known in advance, no one would have suspected that it was poisonous.
And Ming Zhuo suddenly reacted at this time, knowing that he might have been fooled, and the pastry in his hand may not be poisonous at all, and then stuffed it into his mouth.
After swallowing it, he stubbornly defended: "I just didn't want to eat it, and now I have swallowed it in my stomach, which is enough to prove that I don't know that it is poisonous." ”
It's late!
Jiang Li glanced at him, he didn't dare to eat it, but now he guessed that he was fooled and swallowed it in one bite, you are a fool when everyone is stupid.
Mingzhuo also realized that he might be too anxious and self-defeating, but he was still unwilling, and struggled: "I'm not the only one on duty every day, even if I want to be poisoned, how can I escape everyone's eyes?"
"Of course, I have to admit that the way you poisoned is indeed very clever. Jiang Li couldn't help but praise him, and then continued to analyze.
"I guess you poured the poison on the handkerchief you carried with you, and then took the opportunity to smear the poison on the tea set that the king drinks on weekdays.
And you're very cautious, you don't put poison on the teacup but on the tea lid, after all, few people care about a tea lid at all.
If it is not bad as expected, the tea used by the king that day was also poured by you.
Because you know that if you don't pour enough tea, you won't get poisoned even if you drink it. ”
He said it as if he had seen it with his own eyes, so that Ming Zhuo's expression changed one after another.
But he was not convinced, and continued to retort: "But I have no reason to poison at all, I grew up in the palace since I was a child, and it is common for me to be scolded as a slave, how can I poison the king because of this." ”
Jiang Li wanted him to "die" convincingly, and then asked with a smile: "This 'father-in-law', I guess you are not Mingzhuo, right?"
"Joke, I'm not Ming Zhuo but who is it, and how many people here don't recognize me?" Ming Zhuo's eyes were a little flustered, so he pretended to sneer as if he had heard a joke.
"Of course, it is impossible for one person to completely become another, but what if it is a demon?"
Not every demon can become a human, not to mention that once formed, it is extremely difficult to transform into someone else. ”
Jiang Li didn't speak anymore, but just looked at him with a smile, which meant that he was self-explanatory.
Mingzhuo also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and the so-called "too many words will be lost" is nothing more than this.
He was about to explain again, but he was suddenly kicked to the ground by Commander Yan, and said angrily: "Dare to quibble! A person who doesn't know how to cultivate at all, even if he has heard rumors about the demon clan, how can he know so much about it, are you a distant relative of the monster?"
It was useless to argue strongly, and it would only lead to severe torture, and after "Ming Zhuo" hated Commander Yan, he stared at Jiang Li with resentment.
And Jiang Li explained to everyone again as if he hadn't seen it.
"That's right, except for special bloodlines or means, it is almost difficult for the demon king to turn into a human form below, and if you want to change at will, I'm afraid there are only those rumored demon saints.
But I've heard that the demon race also has a special race, although the number is extremely rare, but it can change at will when it becomes an adult, and it is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.
Although you are quibbling, you look down on other demon clans between your words, and being a member of that clan makes you feel very proud, right?
"Hey, hey, hey...... After being stunned for a moment, "Mingzhuo" suddenly laughed insolently.......
Subsequently, the body also began to change, becoming blue and smooth throughout, roughly similar to a humanoid.
There is only a humanoid mouth and eyes on the head, and the light blue "demonic aura" visible to the naked eye surrounds the whole body.
Come to think of it, this is the prototype of the "mirage" that Jiang Li said.
"Unexpectedly, you can not only understand the "red charm", but also have a smart mind and have seen people. "The voice of the mirage is that of a male, somewhat hoarse and peculiar.
I only heard him continue to say to Jiang Li: "Come with me! I will say a few kind words for you in front of the "Holy King", make you a military advisor, and work with us to complete the great cause and create a prosperous world. ”
It turned out that the poison in King Ye was called "Red Charm", and who was the "Holy King" in his mouth, and there was really an organization behind it.
However, listening to his tone, he thought that he could easily escape.
Jiang Li immediately sneered: "Let's go, I see, you still stay and tell me where this poison came from, who instructed you, and who is the "Holy King" in your mouth, right?"
"Do you think you can keep me with just a few of you?" swept the group of people present, their expressions full of disdain.
Subsequently, Mirage continued: "The Holy King" is incomparably intelligent, beyond what you can imagine, teach you to go with me, but to look up to you, don't know what to do!"
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your appreciation, however, I see that your cultivation is only equivalent to the peak of the Five Realms of the Human Race, and I am afraid it will be a little difficult to go. Although Jiang Li's cultivation was lost, he didn't feel much of a threat in the five realms.
Glancing at him, Mirage said with some surprise: "Boy, seeing that you don't have the slightest mana fluctuation on your body, your vision is not bad." ”
Then he raised his head, changed his words, and said proudly: "But you need to know that even if the realm is the same, the ability of the demon clan is not comparable to that of this little human being." ”
He pointed at Commander Yan, Ye Lan, and Chu Feng, and said, "Do you want to keep me?" with only one peak of the Five Realms and two people who have just entered the Five Realms?" and then looked at Huang E beside the three of them, "Or, plus the yellow-haired girl who has not reached the Five Realms?"
Everyone reacted differently to his disdain and contempt, but they all stood in front of Jiang Li at the moment, protecting him behind him.
And Jiang Li didn't explain much to him, regardless of whether these people could keep him.
They appeared here, it was just reasonable, and if he didn't understand the strength of the other party, how could he not stay behind.
He just stared at the mirage and didn't speak, his two white hairs fluttering in the wind, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a faint smile, which looked a little sarcastic.
As if sensing something, the mirage suddenly looked up at the sky, only to see a figure standing in the air, with one hand behind his back, his eyes staring sharply at the crowd below, to be precise, staring at him.
