Chapter 784 Because His Majesty is a Genius

three days later.

After repeatedly analyzing the pros and cons, Zhou Ming decided to meet the four captured members of the Blue Hands Guild first.

Talk to them a little bit.

This morning.

Escorted by a team of elite guards, Xiu Te and others were escorted into the palace. In a side hall, they saw Zhou Ming sitting at the head, dressed in gorgeous imperial clothes.

"It's you?"

Xiu Te was taken aback and couldn't help blurting out.

"Oh~? You know me?" Zhou Ming asked lightly, why is this guy so surprised?

"No, I don't know you, but I have heard of you, Your Majesty the Emperor Noctis!" Xiu Te put his hands on his chest, slightly bent his knees and bowed his head, and gave a salute.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I have heard of you too. You are my idol. I didn't expect you to be so young!" Atlam, who was on the side, also hurriedly approached.

"I have also heard your story, Your Majesty the Emperor!" Pikel also hurriedly saluted and bowed.

"Good day, Your Majesty~" Ilias gave a graceful blessing.

"Shut up! Your majesty is wise and powerful, and everyone in the empire knows it. Do you think that you can forgive your capital crime if you have heard of his majesty's achievements?"

Reggie, who was standing next to Zhou Ming, said with a straight face, and habitually entered the mode of singing bad faces.

capital offense?

Xiu Te and the others were taken aback.

Atlam even yelled: "Forgive me, Your Majesty, we just happened to pass by a place to find someone, how could this be a capital offense?"

"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor, we saw a group of people making bricks under a mountain, so we ran to take a look out of curiosity... Isn't that the case?" Pickle also said.

"The place you are looking at is the construction project of the empire's central floating air port, which is of great significance to the empire's strategy. This will definitely attract some foreign spies and saboteurs. For these people, the Aurunian Empire has always been highly vigilant. Live one, execute one." Zhou Ming said in a cold tone.

"Your Majesty, we are not spies or saboteurs. We came here to find someone to carry out a task issued by the Federation of Trade Unions. We did not mean to pry into the secrets of the Aurunian Empire."

Atlam argued loudly, vehemently denying it.

"It doesn't matter what you say, the judges of the empire will investigate and try you, even so, according to your crime of trespassing on the strategic strategic places of the empire, you will be sentenced to at least 10 years, so you'd better be honest and frank, and strive for a lighter Punishment." Zhou Ming invoked the imperial law, saying that he would be sentenced to ten years in prison.

"What... what? Ten years? We're going to be in prison for at least ten years?"

Atlam's face was pale and he felt cold all over.

"Your Majesty, can you forgive our recklessness this time for the sake of the Blue Hand Association? We would like to make an apology and promise that we will never do it again... Your Majesty, the relationship between the Empire and the Blue Hand has always been good. There's a gap in this."

Pickle said that the Blue Hand Guild has a superlative status, and there is no mortal empire that disrespects this guild.

In the previous hundreds of years, the relationship between the Aurunian Empire and the Blue Hand Guild has always been good. If the four of them are convicted of "peeping secrets" this time, they will be imprisoned for at least ten years. The punishment is so severe. , will definitely affect the relationship between the empire and the blue hand!
"Crack~"

Zhou Ming patted the back of the chair he was sitting on, and said with a blank expression: "The state owns the state law, and the family has family rules. In the territory of the Aurunian Empire, no matter who violates the law, they will be severely punished. No one is an exception. You Do the people of the Blue Hand want to override the laws of the empire?"

"Your Majesty, we don't mean that. We just want to have a chance to explain and prove our innocence, Your Majesty!" Pickle cried, and at this moment he felt like crying.

"The opportunity for me to explain to you is in the court of the empire." Zhou Ming said lightly.

"This--"

Picker and Atram looked at each other, feeling a burst of despair.

At least ten years of imprisonment is about to befall them?
"Your Majesty the Emperor, this should be the best solution you have come up with, right? If you kill us, you will offend the Blue Hand Guild. If you use a seemingly fair trial to imprison us for ten years, that's not enough. Not completely offending Canglan Hand, but also ensuring that your secrets will not be exposed prematurely, killing two birds with one stone is indeed the safest way to deal with it... Am I right, Your Majesty the Emperor?"

Xiu Te, who had been silent just now, suddenly spoke.

Uh……

Zhou Ming looked at Xiu Te immediately, and the hostile look on his face disappeared immediately, and changed into a look of surprise and curiosity.

"Um, it seems that you have figured out something? Tell me, let me see how much you know." Zhou Ming asked him.

"I should know, I basically..."

Just as Xiu Te was about to speak, his wife Elias squeezed him and said to him, "Shu Te, stop talking, we will be killed!"

"That's better than staying in a dark cell for ten years, not to mention..."

Xiu Te shook his head, without the slightest fear on his face, looked at Zhou Ming and said, "His Majesty the Emperor has no intention of killing us, otherwise we will be dead when we are caught."

"Don't talk too much, whether you plan to kill you all depends on how much you know about the situation."

Zhou Ming waved to the people around him again and said, "Reggie, the guards in the palace, you all go out for now, I want to talk to them alone."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Lei Ji and others retreated one after another, and there were only five people left in the empty hall.

"Speak, Xiute, tell me everything you know!" Zhou Ming waved his hand.

Xiu nodded his head, and the first sentence he spoke made Zhou Ming's eyes glisten.

"First of all, His Majesty the Emperor, I think you should be the target that the president asked us to find: a talented self-linker."

"Uh……"

Zhou Ming pondered for a moment, nodded, and admitted directly: "Yes, your guess is correct, please continue."

Seeing Zhou Ming nod his head and admit it so calmly, Xiu Te and the others were also taken aback, and Ilias showed even more bitterness on her face.

"Secondly, Your Majesty the Emperor, you not only became a self-connected person, but also became a 'self-connected person' in a relatively short period of time. Those suspected 'self-connected persons' we encountered before The magic net walker should be your masterpiece, Your Majesty." Xiute continued.

"That's right, you even guessed this... smart, you are very smart."

Zhou Ming admitted it frankly again, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and continued to stretch out his hand to signal: "If you have any bolder guesses, you can tell them all."

At this moment, Ilyas was desperately bumping her husband with her shoulder, and she said anxiously: "Shut, stop talking! Besides, we are all dead!"

"Don't worry, the more we know, the safer we will be."

With a confident face, Xiu Te expressed the last guess in his heart: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I know that you have an even more ambitious plan. You may be planning to rule the entire continent, or you may control the entire magic net... …From the giant floating air port under construction, it can be seen that you must have a very big plan in your heart!"

"Clap clap clap!"

Zhou Ming couldn't help puffing up his palms, and said with admiration: "It's amazing, it's really amazing, my hidden identity, the plan I'm ordering people to execute, almost all of them have been guessed by you, Mr. Xiu Te, you let me know You look at me with admiration, but..."

Zhou Ming then asked: "I'm even more curious, how did you infer so many things with just a few clues? What is the basis for your inference?"

"It's very simple, Your Majesty, you are a genius!"

"Because you are a genius, Your Majesty, you can invent hundreds of tools and objects."

"Because your majesty is a genius, connecting the magic net and becoming a self-connected person is not a problem for you at all."

"After becoming a self-connecting person, it is reasonable to help others connect to the magic net after mastering some tricks."

"Finally, because you are a genius, Your Majesty, your dreams and ambitions must also be the greatest. I can only conceive on the earth."

Shutter explained.

Zhou Ming suddenly realized: "It turns out that all these guesses are based on the fact that I am a 'genius'?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xiu nodded.

"Okay, Xiu Te, since you have told all your guesses, in return, I will also tell you three basic situations—"

"The first situation: you are safe for the time being, I will not kill you for the time being, I intend to give you a chance to choose."

Zhou Ming stretched out a finger of his left hand, waved his right hand again, and the rope tied to Xiu Te and the others broke instantly, and they regained the ability to move freely.

"Second situation: Congratulations to Xiu Te, your wife Elias is pregnant, and you will be promoted to be a father soon."

what?
Hearing this, Xiu Te's face changed wildly, and he quickly turned his head to look at his wife Elias with surprise in his eyes.

But Ilyas shook her head at him again and again, her face very helpless.

"Third situation: In order to ensure that the news will not be leaked, from today onwards, your range of activities will be restricted; in addition, in order to prevent you from escaping, from now on, you are no longer magic net walkers."

As he spoke, Zhou Ming waved his right hand in the void, and a "soul knife" slashed out, instantly cutting off the four "soul strings" extending from Xiu Te and others in the void.

"Pfft~!"

After the soul string was severed, Xiu Te and the others spurted out a large mouthful of blood as if they had been severely injured, and their complexions were like golden paper.
