The best ring

"Until the murderer is found, everyone is a suspect." Guan Zhuo said expressionlessly.

Hearing Guan Zhuo's answer, Yuan Ji and Hou Yi became even more annoyed. Originally, they were already in a very bad mood because of Zhao Ke's sudden death. Now they were suspected of being the murderer by Guan Zhuo. The two were simply furious.

"I just won't cooperate, what can you do?!" Yuanji said angrily: "Don't forget, I am the Minister of Personnel, only His Majesty is qualified to examine me!"

"Yes, Guanzhuo, you are not qualified to examine us!" Hou Yi also said: "You are the Minister, we are also the Minister, without the imperial edict, you are not qualified to examine us."

Guanzhuo remained unmoved and said: "Now is the investigation period, and the second prince died suddenly. I have the right to investigate every suspicious person. I can tell you that according to the preliminary investigation results, the second prince died of poisoning, and the person who was able to poison the second prince under strict protection must be someone around him."

"Poisoning?"

"Someone around him did it?"

Yuanji and Houyi heard this, and they didn't care about being angry, and asked the doubts in their hearts.

"Yes!"

Yuanji and Houyi frowned and began to think about this matter.

Since Zhao Ke was released from prison, Yuanji and Houyi attached great importance to his safety. After all, now is the critical moment of fighting for the throne, anything can happen, not to mention that the old emperor was poisoned to death, not only what happened before.

Therefore, Yuanji and Houyi attached great importance to Zhao Ke's safety. Zhao Ke had his own guards, but even so, Yuanji and Houyi were still worried and still arranged people to protect Zhao Ke. It can be said that according to Yuanji and Houyi's arrangements, Zhao Ke should be very safe now, which is also one of the reasons why they could not accept Zhao Ke's sudden death before.

And now, Guanzhuo actually said that it was the people around Zhao Ke who poisoned him, which naturally surprised Yuanji and Houyi.

However, after being surprised, the two quickly accepted this fact.

Because there are many protection personnel around Zhao Ke, and it is indeed only the people around Zhao Ke, even those he trusts very much, who can take action under such circumstances.

With this understanding, Yuanji and Houyi also began to cooperate with the investigation. Although they were still a little unhappy, they wanted to know who poisoned him, and they didn't want to bear the blame for it.

The officials in the hall saw Yuanji and Houyi, and they actually cooperated with the investigation, and they were not so noisy in an instant.

Yuanji and Houyi are both higher in status and position than them. Moreover, they are Zhao Ke's diehard fans. They are the least likely to poison Zhao Ke. But now, they are willing to accept the investigation. What else can they say?

The investigation is very tedious and takes a long time, but the investigation of Yuanji and Houyi was quickly completed. One reason is that Guanzhuo himself does not believe that they will poison Zhao Ke. The reason for investigating them is just to show other officials and let others cooperate with them better. The second reason is that Yuanji and Houyi cooperated very well, which greatly saved time.

The results of the investigation showed that Yuanji and Houyi had no problems. So far, other officials have not found any problems. At this time, someone from the Ministry of Justice suddenly came to report to Yuanji that they found something unusual!

The second housekeeper of Zhao Ke's mansion is a major suspect!

Because, according to Guan Zhuo's judgment, the person who poisoned Zhao Ke was someone close to him, so Guan Zhuo told everyone who could contact Zhao Ke to be investigated strictly, especially the guards and servants in Zhao Ke's mansion.

In addition, the status of those guards and servants was not higher than those officials, so when investigating, the people from the Ministry of Justice were not polite and the interrogation was quite detailed. It was during this process that the second housekeeper of Zhao Ke's mansion was a little hesitant in answering because of his nervous face, which attracted the attention of the staff of the Ministry of Justice.

As the second housekeeper of Zhao Ke's mansion, he was naturally the focus of this investigation, because he could contact Zhao Ke. The officials of the Ministry of Justice who were transferred to the interrogation this time were all Guan Zhuo's own confidants. These people were not only loyal, but also had first-class interrogation skills. Therefore, the second housekeeper of Zhao's mansion just showed some strangeness, which immediately attracted their attention.

"Butler Zhao, right?" Guan Zhuo looked at the second housekeeper of the mansion who was brought in front of him and began to interrogate him personally.

"Yes."

"Do you have anything to say?"

"Sir, what do you mean? I have just told your people in the Ministry of Justice everything that needs to be said. The matter of the prince really has nothing to do with me." Butler Zhao said.

"Really?" Guan Zhuo stared at Butler Zhao: "But my people just found out that when the wine and food were delivered, you stopped the maid who was delivering the wine and food to the prince, and delivered the wine and food to the prince yourself."

"Yes." Butler Zhao said: "But this can't prove that I poisoned the prince."

"Poisoned?" Guan Zhuo's eyes lit up, and his face became more serious: "How do you know it was poisoned? I didn't say that the second prince was poisoned, right? You still don't admit that you are the murderer?!"

Facing Guan Zhuo's questioning, Butler Zhao was a little flustered, with obvious panic in his eyes.

When facing Guan Zhuo, Butler Zhao was very nervous. It was because of nervousness that he let the cat out of the bag. After he finished speaking, he realized that he was wrong. The people in the Ministry of Justice had indeed found out the preliminary results of the investigation, but they did not announce the results. Only people in the Ministry of Justice knew about it. As a butler, he didn't know about it at all.

"I... I guessed." Butler Zhao explained, but his eyes flickered. He was very nervous to begin with, and now he found that he had let the cat out of the bag, so he was naturally more panicked.

"Butler Zhao is really good at guessing." Guan Zhuo sneered and said, "Do you want to resist to the end?"

"I don't understand what you mean." Butler Zhao said.

"Butler Zhao, you should have heard that there are many torture instruments in our Ministry of Justice. It seems that you want to try those torture instruments." Guan Zhuo said.

Hearing Guan Zhuo's words, Butler Zhao trembled subconsciously, and his face was even more scared.

He had heard about the interrogation methods of the Ministry of Justice. Although not as cruel as Hou Zhong, they were also quite scary. Now Guan Zhuo obviously suspected him. Once he was arrested and thrown into prison, it would be impossible for him to come out alive.

"Butler Zhao, I know there must be someone behind you!" Guan Zhuo continued: "The person behind this matter is the real murderer. If you confess him, you may be able to make up for your mistakes. Otherwise, you should be able to think of your own fate!"
