All my subjects want to usurp the throne

Chapter 272 Your Majesty?This turned out to be His Majesty!
Master Liu never expected that the reason for being called to Yuecheng this time was because of the restaurant.

He handled the matter at the restaurant in a very cryptic manner, and asked his cronies to handle it, without even revealing any information about himself.

So it is quite safe for them now, but when he hurried to Yuecheng today, he saw that His Majesty's face was as black as a pig's liver.

Then he glanced at the shop owner and shop waiter who were kneeling on the ground, not knowing what happened for a while.

When he came to this place before, he knelt down here, and then said to Ling Xiao: "My minister sees Your Majesty!"

His Majesty?When the store owner and Xiao Er heard this, their faces turned pale with fright, and beads of sweat kept dripping from their foreheads.

Oh my god, this is His Majesty, they have angered the emperor and broke ground on Tai Sui, there is no good end for them!
Thinking of this, the man quickly kowtowed to the ground.

It was just so that His Majesty could spare their lives, but now Ling Xiao has no time to take care of them.

At this time, he glanced at the servant of the Ministry of Rites who rushed over, and asked him: "Do you recognize these people?"

The minister of the Ministry of Rites frowned at this moment, and saw his eyebrows twitch, and then he returned to his calm appearance.

He shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know any of them."

Speaking of which, the Minister of Rites really didn't know any of them, because every transaction was done by his cronies, so he basically didn't have to do anything and could just collect money at home.

But now Ling Xiao said to him after hearing this: "They all said that you are the mastermind behind the scenes."

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged. I came here today because I saw His Majesty's badge, so I rushed over here quickly, but I really don't know these people, so why do I plead guilty now?"

Ling Xiao waved his hand and said to Lu Fengxian next to him: "Master Lu, tell him this matter from beginning to end, and let's help Master Liu recall it."

When Lu Fengxian heard this, he recounted what happened last night from head to toe.

In the process of narrating, Mr. Liu became more and more uneasy. It turned out that this was the restaurant he bought before!

Thinking of this, he was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat. He never expected that His Majesty would touch him. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Seeing his appearance, Ling Xiao must have remembered it, so he said next to him at this time: "How is it? Master Liu's matter really has something to do with you!"

Now Mr. Liu's appearance seems to have nothing to do with this matter. He quickly knelt down and said to Ling Xiao.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I really don't know about this matter, but since this person said that I, Liu, did it, then I naturally plead not guilty!"

Ling Xiao's brows twitched. He really didn't expect that today's ministers really dare to do what they want, and they are all cowards.

Whenever their crimes were punished, they were still sophistrying. Could it be possible to retract their confessions?

Ling Xiao didn't believe these people. He had nothing to do with them. Thinking of this, he said to Li Dequan at this time.

"Li Dequan, Master Liu has not pleaded guilty, what can you do?"

"There are many ways to not plead guilty. Maybe we can torture Mr. Liu step by step until he pleads guilty."

After hearing this, the person surnamed Liu turned paler and paler at this time. He was really in bad luck today.

Originally thought that His Majesty should have sent him to this Moon City for something, but never expected that it would be to sue him.

He was thankful that the affairs of Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhu that happened last time in the court did not involve him.

I originally thought that he would be able to gain a foothold in the court, but now I didn't expect that he would end up like these two ministers.

At this time, he remembered what Ling Xiao said before, as long as he resisted, he would be strict, and if he confessed, he would be lenient.

So if he talks about this matter well, maybe he can be dealt with lightly.

"Your Majesty, this matter is indeed not done by the minister. Although it is related to the minister, he has never been to this moon city, let alone met these people, so please investigate clearly!"

"Just now some of them said that you are the master behind them, Mr. Liu, you don't look like this person in ordinary times!"

Ling Xiao was more and more surprised now that they didn't look like bad people.

At this time, he turned to the shop owner and asked: "The servant of the Ministry of Rites you mentioned just now, but this lord?"

While the shop owner looked carefully, he shook his head for a while and said.

"Your Majesty, I have never seen Mr. Liu."

Ling Xiao felt strange when he heard this. If the Minister of Rites was the person behind them, how could he not even meet each other.

He felt that the man was lying to him again.

Li Dequan couldn't listen anymore, and Li Dequan said sharply.

"Bold grassroots, dare to lie in front of the emperor, if you deceive the emperor, then the nine clans will be implicated!"

When the man heard this, he quickly knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said to Ling Xiao: "Your Majesty, the common people dare not lie. Everything the common people say is the truth, Your Majesty!"

Wu Zhao next to him didn't seem to be lying when he looked like this, so he whispered in Ling Xiao's ear.

"Why don't you ask again, Your Majesty?"

Wu Zhao spoke softly, and after hearing this, Ling Xiao drove away the boredom in his heart.

He was a little irritable at first, but seeing Wu Zhao take the initiative to share his worries, he felt more at ease for a while.

Wu Zhao asked him with a high-pitched voice.

"It was you who just said that Master Liu was the mastermind behind you, but now you are the one who said that you don't know him. Do you want us to believe it or not?"

After hearing Wu Zhao's words, they hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty doesn't know something, we can only get in touch with the people around the Minister of Rites on weekdays, and hand over the money to them on schedule, but as for the Minister of Rites, Mr. Bit, I don't know either!"

Now that the matter of Yinzi has been mentioned, Mr. Liu knows about it, so he probably can't explain it clearly.

For a while, his body kept trembling. Lu Fengxian, who was next to him, saw this, and knew that this matter was no small matter.

It seemed that they had bumped into each other again this time, and Ling Xiao would naturally respect and punish such people.

Then he said in front of everyone: "Minister of the Ministry of Rites, you know that the court has introduced a benevolent government, which is to reduce taxes, but have you ever thought about it? How can the market go on after you do this for a while, and how can the common people come up with such a thing?" Lots of taels of silver!"

What Ling Xiao said, these words made the point clear, and the Minister of Rites also bowed his head in shame at this time.

Although I regret it now, the hardest thing to buy in this world is the regret medicine.

So now it is useless to say anything more. Now only confessing may be his last way out.
