Chapter 426 Choosing a day for execution

Chapter 426 Choosing a day for execution

Brothers confront each other, even the third and fourth princes of the empire who are twins. This absurd but seemingly reasonable scene made all the high-ranking officials and nobles present take a breath.

However, the words of the third prince Bai You immediately attracted their attention.

Concubine Lan is dead, but the people around Concubine Lan are not dead?

Didn’t the nanny responsible for the action die long ago in the hands of the prince?

Others knew it, and Bai Si naturally knew it. He still had a sad expression on his face: "Third brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Mother..."

He seemed to be secretly glancing at the aloof emperor. , in fact all the actions were displayed in front of everyone.

"My mother is gone... What happened before was all caused by Sean. I know you are angry, but this is not the reason for you to frame me."

said As he spoke, he showed a strong look of exhaustion: "Third brother... stop making trouble..."

These words were spoken sincerely. If someone who doesn't understand is present, I'm afraid it's... I almost sighed for the fourth prince in my heart.

But no one present was a human spirit. Seeing Bai You's behavior, they looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

Good acting... But the fourth prince is not usually a person with such rich body language and micro-expressions. This performance made people feel a little suspicious.

Bai You just watched his brother perform quietly, and then he turned around and saluted the emperor.

"Father, I beg you, let me confront Bai Si in public."

The emperor did not speak immediately. If his slight breathing hadn't echoed in the silent hall, he might have Many people thought he had passed out.

Finally, the emperor spoke: "In that case...Bai You, if you have anything to say, just say it."

In Bai Si's gloomy eyes, Bai You clapped his hands.

Then, a huge glass box was pushed up.

You can see through the transparent glass that there is an old man with a withered face sitting slumped on the spot, her eyes are blank, as if she is demented.

Although he was too thin to look like a human being, the people present were all smart people with outstanding eyesight. At that moment, someone shouted out the identity of the other party in surprise: "Isn't this the wet nurse next to Concubine Lan? ”

There was an uproar.

The old nanny raised her head blankly, with a silly expression of fear.

The wet nurse beside Concubine Lan is still alive. This is a situation that no one expected.

On that day, Prince Bai Youming was furious and killed many people in the palace. The old nanny was even tortured in public until she was reduced to a human figure, and finally identified Bai You.

After that, Bai Youming went on a killing spree. No one expected that a nanny who had identified the mastermind behind the scenes would not die in Bai Youming's hands?

Some people were in shock, while others who were more perceptive thought deeper.

Sean has been confirmed to have faked his death... Then the prince was so angry that day... If Sean had even concealed his life in vain, then it would be okay, but now that the wet nurse is not dead, people have to upgrade. This raises more suspicions - was Sean's fake death ordered by Bai Youming?

If it starts from here...the death of the eldest prince Bai Zhan, today's confrontation in the palace of Bai You and Bai Si...

A few people took a breath of cold air in their hearts and no longer dared to look up. To the emperor.

Seeing the old nanny being pushed up, Bai Si's eyes flickered, and then he shook his head: "I didn't expect the emperor to keep her... It's just that, third brother, have you ever thought about it? Do you want to To accuse me falsely is to reveal what happened that day. At that time, the person the wet nurse was accusing was you."

Bai You glanced at his brother calmly, and then said indifferently: "Then why don't you listen to what she said?"

Bai Si lowered his eyes slightly, then walked to the old nanny and knocked on the door. Knocking on the glass, the latter just retreated to the corner in fear, still looking stupid.

"How can a person who has lost his mind serve as a witness? Third brother, could you please teach me?" Bai Si asked.

"Loss of mind does not mean loss of memory." Bai You walked up to the nanny and asked through the glass, "How did everything happen that day?"

As he said , he pressed the button in his hand.

A helmet was lowered from the glass cage, and the nanny crawled over and put it on her head like a reflex.

A lot of parameters lit up on one side of the glass.

Although the nanny still looked stupid, she finally spoke.

“Concubine Lan was at odds with Sean, and she was frowning all day long. I got the signal from the fourth prince and used the ritual he gave me to induce Concubine Lan. Finally, I led people to attack Sean. And the fourth prince had already Just set a task for me. If I am caught, I will be framed as the perpetrator of the third prince Bai You."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar.

"That's nonsense." Bai Si said coldly.

Bai You just glanced at him and then smiled.

He threw the button in his hand and pointed at the person in the crowd wearing a papal robe: "This is a device developed by Golden Dawn. It combines brain waves and fixation rituals. Its biggest function is to dig out the prisoner's true memory. ——"

As he spoke, he looked at Marshal Wu Xiao again: "Marshal, when the military captured a cultist, during the interrogation, the military wanted to use the device of the Golden Dawn, but the other party failed. Delaying on the grounds of religious confidentiality, this is what you want, right?"

Wu Xiao looked at it and nodded immediately: "This is it, Golden Dawn said, it involves a top-secret ritual. To change it, I need to ask for permission at all levels. Hehe, they also said that if they get permission, they will give me a disposable device and ask me to prepare the 'consumables' in the laboratory first. ”

Bai You continued: "The consumables are called 'Hongchao', right?"

"That's right."

Bai You said: "The Imperial Research Laboratory previously captured a batch A foreigner named 'Hongchao', this tribe is born with the ability to detect lies. Oh, many people can hope to get a servant of the Hongchao tribe. This matter was still causing trouble in the imperial capital for a while, right? ”

Everyone present looked at each other with a guilty conscience, but this was indeed true.

Bai You sneered: "Furthermore, Golden Dawn also applied for a large amount of development resources and mobilized half of the consumables. The final result is this thing - and all of this is recorded. ”

He looked at the bishop who was sweating continuously on his forehead: "Your Majesty Bishop, please take a look, is this device real or fake?"

In Bai Si's cold eyes, the bishop gritted his teeth and finally lowered his head. Said: "Back to the third prince...it's true..."

If he were in other places, he could pretend to be dumbfounded, but not here.

The empire needs rules to continue without breaking up. Imperial law is the greatest law. Disobeying imperial law means disobeying His Majesty the Emperor - even His Majesty the Emperor cannot ignore this.

And the unique Golden Dawn mark on the device was right in front of him, and there was no way he could hide it.

However, it is obvious that the only few devices have been secretly transferred. How did the one in Bai You's hand come from?

Even if there were some abandoned devices in the original headquarters that were too late to be moved, at least dozens of members of the Hongchao tribe would have to die before they could repair them, right?

But, but there has been no news about the Hongchao clan in recent times!

No one cared about the pale bishop anymore. They all looked at Bai Si and the emperor who had been silent.

“Fourth brother——” Bai You finally called him brother, but the hatred hidden in his voice made people’s scalp numb. “There are both human and material evidences, but what do you think? Are the military and Golden Dawn lying? ”

Bai Si raised his head stiffly, and he forced a smile: "It's hard for Third Brother to find so much evidence..."

He was about to continue speaking, when suddenly, a man with white beard and hair hurried away. Come out and kneel down. "Your Majesty, I beg you for your generosity..."

Everyone's pupils were shocked, because the person who came out to kneel down was Speaker Lan Youshan, who was also Bai You and Bai Si's grandfather!

The emperor finally spoke, and he sighed: "So, Lan Youshan, are you going to plead for Bai Si?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone bowed their heads, and Bai Si felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

He was about to argue when he saw his grandfather's hand moving towards him.

Lan Youshan knelt on the ground and said in fear: "No, I hope that your majesty will forgive my Lan family."

"Oh? What happened to the Lan family?"

Lan Youshan said: "In the early years, in order to ensure that family secrets would not be leaked, the core members of the Lan family and their confidants would undergo brain surgery when they were young. This surgery would destroy certain brain areas, but would not harm people. To cause an impact, in order to resist the interrogation of this device."

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "This wet nurse is a confidant of my Lan family, so naturally, she followed... into the palace, and I did not arrange for anyone to repair it... Your Majesty, forgive me! I did not intend to hide it from Your Majesty, and I also I didn’t send him to the palace on purpose! If Your Majesty wants to punish me, I am willing to do so. I just ask Your Majesty to forgive the Lan family. No one in the Lan family knows about this except me!"

Lan Youshan said! As he spoke, he burst into tears, looking like he was filled with regret.

It is indeed a serious crime to deliberately conceal and deceive the emperor - but most of the countless servants in the palace have received benefits from outsiders, will they be foolish enough to report him? Of course not.

So, Old Nan’s surgery is not about this at all... because everyone does it, but there is no such advanced brain surgery method.

But Lan Youshan didn't come here for this at all... The brain surgery was confirmed by him, the head of the family, so the old nanny's testimony was useless.

What about the stealth device of the Golden Dawn? There is something wrong with her brain, so can you guarantee that there is nothing wrong with the content read by the device?

Many people looked at each other privately and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

The two princes were fighting. Lan Youshan directly chose Bai Si among his two grandsons...

But there is no problem with the choice. Bai You is now impossible. If he succeeds to the throne and successfully sues Bai Si, the two grandsons of the Lan family will no longer have anything to do with the throne. This is an unbearable loss.

If you think carefully, you can figure out the joints here, but there are very few people who are as decisive as Lan Youshan.

Even, in order to prove the authenticity of his words, he even accused himself...

As expected of the Speaker...

Lan Youshan knelt on the ground, Bai Si behind him A trace of amusement flashed in his eyes, but Bai You just looked at his grandfather coldly.

There was a little anger in the emperor's voice: "Well, you Lan Youshan, hum, I think you are also old and confused... When you go back, write a resignation letter yourself."
< br>Lan Youshan trembled: "It's... Your Majesty..."

The emperor coughed, and then said: "As for everything, if you ask for evidence, I already believe it. However, this stupid servant's brain has been bad since he was a child, and there is really nothing he can do... This matter ends here. Let’s do it.”

With one order, the sex was decided.

Just looking at what happened today, no one knows that it was indeed Bai Si who framed his own brother, but His Majesty's remarks meant that Bai Si was directly saved.

However, at this moment, Bai You cupped his hand again: "Then let's look at the next piece of evidence."

The rest of the people were stunned on the spot.

Another glass prison car was pushed up, and inside it was a half-human, half-snake guy.

"Snake King, he was the one who killed Sean that day." Bai You looked up calmly, "Father, you should recognize it, right?"

"Crack— —"

There was a crack on the indestructible armrest of the throne!

Bai You continued: "Everyone who has been killed by the royal family of the empire will feel it - Father, I can ask the etiquette officer to come up and verify that the hands of the Snake King are stained with the blood of the imperial royal family."

There was a long silence.

Finally, the emperor said: "No need, it's this villain."

Others in the audience were dumbfounded, and for a moment they didn't know how to react.

If the Snake King has Sean's blood on his hands, then what happened to Sean's fake death? If Sean comes back from the dead, wouldn't it mean... that he is truly a son of the royal family? !

Isn’t Sean your godson in vain? !

Bai You calmly operated the instrument and said casually: "Snake King, the military department should have recorded that he has been missing for many years, but he is actually working for Bai Si, and in his crazy beast-like state, he only has instincts, let alone deceiving the device - —By the way, grandpa."

He looked at Lan Youshan, who was stunned: "You just said that you are the only one who knows about the Lan family's brain surgery. Does that mean that Bai Si doesn't know about it? ”

Lan Youshan was speechless for a moment.

Bai You smiled slightly: "Or... you have personally operated on the Snake King, so he can't tell the truth - you mean, the Snake King is a member of the Lan family?"

Lan Youshan's breathing suddenly became rapid - His Majesty had just admitted that the Snake King had killed the royal family members. If he admitted it, the Lan family would probably be expelled in public!

Seeing that Lan Youshan stopped talking, Bai You pressed the button.

The half-human, half-snake snake king hissed in pain, and a sharp voice sounded: "I received an order from the fourth prince to help the old nanny kill someone. After killing Sean, I tried to Escaped, but was caught... The fourth prince tried to contact me, but I couldn't answer... Ah! Fourth prince! Save me! "

"Shut up!" Bai Si's face was as pale as ever, and his eyebrows were huge. Twisted with anger.

Bai You no longer looked at him, but just looked at the throne: "Father, according to the laws of the empire, anyone who betrays the royal bloodline will be punished by cutting out the tongue, gouging out the eyes, and beheading the limbs."

He knelt down on the ground and said loudly: "Baiyou, please father, make the decision for me!"

"It's all a frame-up! Bai You, you must be secretly in contact with that Sean! My eldest brother was killed by you and Sean together!"

Bai Si's face was distorted to the extreme.

And in the cage, the Snake King was still shouting sharply: "Fourth Prince, save me! Save me!"

"Shut up! You bastard!!!" Bai Si roared angrily. With.

"Shut up--" The emperor's voice suppressed everyone's breathing.

"Poof!"

The snake king expanded rapidly and then exploded into a ball of bloody flowers.

Under the horrified eyes of everyone, the emperor slowly stood up and left the hall, leaving only the last words.

"Deprived of the title of Prince Bai Si and imprisoned - choose a day for execution."
