Chapter 746 Do you really think that Prince Li would rebel?
Baili Moqing leaned back, his expression looking a little cold.
"Then kill!"
"Let's take care of Lao Ba's workshop together!"
Since this world is not advanced enough, there shouldn't be weapons that are heavier than what this world can bear!
Shu He nodded and agreed with this statement.
Baili Moqing was silent for a moment, then held Shu He's hand with an apologetic look on his face.
"This time, the Liu family was attacked and murdered. It must be because I was investigating the explosives workshop, and Lao Ba found out. He sensed the danger, so he used a knife to kill someone else."
Shu He looked at him and asked, "Did Lao Ba tell the emperor about the Di Ting dagger?"
Baili Moqing was surprised, "How do you know this?"
"I was just guessing." The words Shu He heard in Kyoto City made her feel a strong sense of unease.
It might have been just a hunch at the time, but now she has connected all the things together.
The eighth prince entered the palace, and when he came out, the emperor called the ninth prince. After the ninth prince left the palace, he went back again. It was obvious that he was going to get something for the emperor.
After meeting Lao Jiu, the emperor took action against the Liu family.
"The Liu family has no direct interest in the Emperor. The only connection is you! I guess he feels that the Second Prince's death is no longer a secret. He's afraid you'll find out, afraid you'll avenge the Second Prince and do something uncontrollable."
"Killing my grandfather's family was probably because he was afraid that the Liu family would become your helpers and pose a threat to him."
There may be other reasons, but this is the only possibility Shu He can think of at the moment. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense why the emperor would assassinate the Liu family.
"You guessed right." Baili Moqing poured a cup of tea from the side with a cold look on his face.
"He already knows about the Diyin dagger, but he's not sure if I know about it yet."
"However, given his personality, even if I don't know, he will treat it as if I already know it."
"After all, if the ninth and eighth brothers know about it, then it's no longer a secret."
"His attack on the Liu family was a test, and also a warning to those around me and the entire court..."
Warn them not to side with Prince Li, otherwise they will end up like the Liu family!
Shu He's face was also filled with coldness. She really didn't expect that this emperor could be so suspicious and heartless!
"Before, he condoned the clique between the Fourth and Ninth Brothers. Now he ignores the fight between the Eighth and Ninth Brothers. But as for you, he can't stand having any helpers around you!"
"Your father is so partial and heartless!"
Baili Moqing chuckled after hearing this and said, "It's understandable that he's so afraid of me."
"After all, my reputation and ability have unparalleled influence in Tianqi. If a person like this is by his side and he doesn't control my wings, how can he sit firmly on the throne?"
Shu He looked at him in confusion. Why was he still speaking for him?
Baili Moqing's eyes showed self-mockery and disappointment, and he said dully: "He thinks I'm someone like Lao Jiu."
He thought that everyone was like Lao Jiu and Lao Si, eyeing his position and willing to do anything to get it.
Shu He was silent. It turned out that she was not speaking up for him, but was just feeling miserable!
"Then how did the Eighth Prince know about the Di Ting dagger?" Shu He was puzzled. "Could it be that the Eighth Prince was also involved in what happened back then?"
Baili Moqing held the jade pendant at his waist with a serious expression. He then shook his head and said, "Probably not."
"Old Four is a smart guy. Even Old Nine didn't realize he was being plotted against, let alone Old Eight, who is an outsider."
"I think it was Lao Jiu who approached Lao Ba about this matter. I didn't expect that Lao Ba would become the knife that stabbed him in the back."
If this is true, then it only means that this Lao Jiu is extremely stupid!
"Right!" Shu He suddenly thought of something. "The news that Grandfather and his family are alive will definitely spread back to Kyoto. And none of the White Tiger Guards have returned. The Emperor will definitely guess that someone secretly saved Grandfather and his family. Will he guess that this matter is related to you?"
After all, Zhong Liekui is a second-rank master. In this Apocalypse, apart from Baili Moqing, who else can rescue the Liu family from him?
"Just guess what you want. If he's willing to talk about it openly, I don't mind confronting him face to face."
There was a sense of determination in his voice. Shu He was silent, holding his hand, feeling a little sorry for him.
Inside the imperial palace, in the study of Emperor Qiwen's Taiji Hall, a man in black iron armor was kneeling on the ground.
"Zhong Liekui is dead?" Emperor Qiwen was incredulous. "He was a mid-second-grade master. How many people in this world could possibly kill him?"
"Your Majesty, there may not be many people in this world who can kill General Zhong, but there are some. And among those people, one is in our Tianqi."
The man lowered his head and replied in a calm voice, hinting at something.
Emperor Qiwen immediately understood what he meant, "You mean, Prince Li?"
"Your Majesty, someone saw a great battle outside Kyoto. Dust billowed into the sky, and the noise was tremendous! I went to see it myself, and there's still the devastation left behind."
"A battlefield like that can only be created by a second-grade master."
"Furthermore, I have also counted the bodies of the White Tiger Guards that were burned, and the number of people is correct. This proves that Zhong Liekui was indeed killed."
Emperor Qiwen pondered for a moment, then looked at Liu Qin and asked, "It was said that the seventh brother left the city two days ago. Is he back?"
If he came back, there's no way he didn't receive the message.
Liu Qin bowed and replied, "I just received news that Prince Li has entered the city with the princess's carriage. He should have returned to the palace by now."
When the people on the ground heard this, they hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, so the time is right!"
Emperor Qiwen sat in silence on the dragon throne, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Seeing that the emperor was silent for a long time, the people on the ground asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, killing the White Tiger Guards is a crime of treason. Prince Li..." Will he not be punished?
"Conspiracy for treason?" Emperor Qiwen frowned slightly, somewhat displeased. "Did the White Tiger Guard wear their official uniforms when they went to kill the Liu family? Did they reveal their identities?"
The man immediately said, "Your Majesty, no! When I gave the order, I specifically told them to conceal their identities."
"Since there isn't one, then even if the deaths of Zhong Liekui and the others were caused by Prince Li, how did he know who he killed?"
"Also," Emperor Qiwen's face turned cold, and even his voice seemed to be frost-covered, "Do you really think that Prince Li would rebel?"
"This……"
The man on the ground lowered his head and dared not say anything more.
But he was very puzzled in his heart. If the emperor himself felt that Prince Li would not rebel, then why did he still want to kill the people around him?
Does the emperor believe Prince Li or not?
