Chapter 913

After all, just hearing about this matter was shocking enough.

The Imperial Court's General who suppresses bandits was actually hiding by Zhang Jiao's side.

Not to mention how exaggerated that was, the danger involved was self-evident.

That was among hundreds of thousands of rebel soldiers; if one were to be exposed by the slightest carelessness, one would certainly be hacked into mincemeat.

Even if Duan Yu were formidable, could he kill hundreds of thousands of people all by himself?

But talk is talk; in the end, there were still those who did not believe all of this was true.

It was just like the question Yuan Kui had raised.

Duan Yu, how can you prove that it was you using Zhang Jiao,

and not that you and Zhang Jiao were collaborating?

If there were no solid evidence, would the Emperor believe it?

"Duan Yu!" Yuan Kui said with a furrowed brow, "No matter how silver-tongued you are, you cannot change the truth of the facts."

"I will say it again: how can you prove that you were using Zhang Jiao, rather than you and Zhang Jiao having some unspeakable collusion?"

"Your Majesty!"

Yuan Kui bowed toward Duan Yu and said, "This old subject suggests that we immediately seize Duan Yu and interrogate him strictly!"

"We absolutely must not let him return!"

Yang Ci suddenly raised his head to look at Yuan Kui.

Within those turbid eyes, a flash of sharp light seemed to pass.

How did this Yuan Kui suddenly develop murderous intent?

If at first, Yuan Kui was merely following Liu Hong's wishes to put on a show,

then after Yuan Kui spoke those words, Yang Ci keenly sensed that Yuan Kui's mindset had changed.

This was clearly the emergence of murderous intent.

"Minister of Works Yuan... my words have not yet finished; how do you know that I have no evidence?"

"Or is it... that Minister of Works Yuan is worried about something, and dares not let me continue?"

Duan Yu sneered as he looked at Yuan Kui, their gazes colliding in the great hall.

Afterward, Duan Yu looked toward Liu Hong and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I have an item I wish to present to you. Once you have seen it, you will naturally know whether what I say is true or false!"

Sitting on the dragon throne, Liu Hong nodded: "Bring it forth!" ===== CHAPTER 915 =====
