Chapter 510: Conviction Before Sentencing (Part 2)

Niu Lu's respect for Liu Yu was only due to his respect for Liu Zhao, the Marquis of Dingguo. However, when he saw Liu Yu capture the assassin on the spot, he was so calm, so his awe for Liu Yu deepened a little.

Liu Yu sat there and tasted the tea peacefully until Ling Hui was invited to come after learning that something happened in the palace.

"Prince Lin, Niu Duwei, why did you solemnly come to me when you happen to the palace?" Ling Hui was still as arrogant as he looked. He asked in a scattered manner before he walked into the door.

Niu Lu had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Ling Hui, he immediately stood up and cursed: "Oh, old man Ling, how dare you let the emperor down and send an assassin to assassinate Your Majesty. I, Niu, want to strangle you, the rebel minister!"

Because Niu Lu's weapons had been confiscated before the palace, he could only pinch Ling Hui with his bare hands. When Ling Hui heard Niu Lu's accusations, he was shocked and did not understand why Niu Lu was so sure. Facing Niu Lu's rough warrior, he could only dodge his civil servants.

Liu Yu crossed his legs and held the teacup, looking at the two people fighting in front of him like watching the show, and said in surprise: "Oh! Two, why both of you be so angry? You can discuss something."

Niu Lu was originally full of righteous indignation. When he heard Liu Yu's words, he couldn't help but stop and look at Liu Yu. He didn't understand why Liu Yu was still talking and laughing like this. He thought to himself, was it that Liu Yu was just talking nonsense?

Ling Hui was pinched by Niu Lu before and was pressed to the ground. At this time, he had to take off his body and breathe heavily. He sorted out his clothes and said, "Prince Lin, but is there an assassin in the palace to assassinate?"

"Yes." Liu Yu put down the teacup and nodded.

"Can you be safe?"

"The assassin was discovered before the assassin committed the assassin. He was stopped in time." Liu Yu said.

Ling Hui said cautiously: "A bold person dares to assassinate His Majesty in the territory of Dongning Prefecture. I think someone must be instructed behind the scenes. I also asked Prince Lin to hand this person over to the trial and find out the person behind the scenes."

Niu Lu spat and said, "Okay, you old man Ling, you are still sloppy with the prince. Don't you know that the traitor has confessed that you ordered him to assassinate?"

Ling Hui finally knew why Niu Lu was so excited. It turned out that he had fallen into a trap after entering this door from the beginning.

Liu Yu nodded again and said, "The assassin's confession is indeed that the prefect Ling sent someone to instruct him to do so."

Ling Hui said sternly: "I am sure that you are worthy of Your Majesty's affairs. Prince, you can't slander!"

Liu Yuxin said that Ling Hui was very smart. Before he could see the assassin, he insisted that Liu Yu "fraudulently" rather than the assassin "biting people". The difference between the two is very big, which essentially shows how Ling Hui puts Liu Yu in the position in his mind. Something happened. His accusation of Liu Yu of false accusation means that he has a ghost in his heart.

Liu Yu smiled and stood up and said, "The Prefect Ling doesn't need to be excited. The assassin is still being called in the palace. He said that it was instructed by the Prefect Ling, but it cannot stand the scrutiny. How could Prefect Ling do such a traitor in his own territory? Besides, the assassin said that it was Ling's instructor to him, so it would be even more unreliable. The king would not take it seriously without evidence."

Ling Hui calmed down a little and bowed: "What Prince Lin said is very true."

"Although Prefect Ling may not be related to this matter, since the assassin said that it was your Prefect Ling who was plotting a rebellion, it would be a pity for others. I am afraid that Prefect Ling will be at ease not to go out in the mansion in the next few days. The government affairs of Dongning Mansion will be temporarily handed over to the following to deal with it."

Ling Hui was stunned at first. Then he felt that this matter was not simple. Originally, he had a bad attitude towards Liu Yu. Now that Liu Yu encountered an assassin, there seemed to be conclusive evidence, but Liu Yu still let him go and just let him resign for the time being. He still couldn't guess what conspiracy was there.

"Why, Prefect Ling has any objection?" Liu Yu said unhappy when he saw Ling Hui silent.

"I just obey the order of Prince Lin..." Ling Hui knew that nothing was useless to say at this time, so he had to compromise for the time being, and said goodbye and went back home first.

Originally, he thought that Liu Yu would send guards or people from the garrison camp to surround the prefect's mansion and confine him, but he didn't expect that Liu Yu didn't even send a accompanying guard over there, as if it was all based on his own consciousness.

When Ling Hui left, Niu Lu looked at Liu Yu in surprise and asked, "Prince, did you let him go?"

"Otherwise, what's going on? If there is no evidence, just a few nonsense from an assassin's words can he be convicted? Ling Daoqi is still a local official in Dongning Prefecture. He does not care about the court, but also needs to consider the stability of the local people. Niu Duwei, what I said is the truth?"

Liu Yu's last sentence was obviously a bit aggressive tone. Niu Lu was shocked. Could it be that King Lin suspected me?

"The subordinates think... what the prince said is reasonable."

"It's right that you can make sense. You can go back first. Your Majesty has only been staying in Dongning Mansion for two days. If this matter cannot be found out within two days, you will have to ask the Niu Duwei to investigate with all his heart. People will come and see off the guests."

Niu Lu felt that someone was being stuffed, and he didn't understand the purpose of Liu Yu calling him and Ling Hui to come.

If Liu Yu really framed it, it would not be said that something happened. Liu Yu would let Ling Hui go so easily. There is only one explanation. The assassin assassin's assassination of the emperor happened exactly, and before he found the real evidence, Liu Yu could only temporarily suppress his anger and prepare to investigate it carefully. He called him Niu Lulai, but only knew the conflict between him and Ling Hui, and was ready to use his strength to help investigate the matter in detail.

After seeing Niu Lu off, Liu Yu was still drinking tea with peace of mind. Qu Zhu walked in and asked with confusion: "General, what happened?"

Qu Zhu’s implication is that we use fake assassins to frame Ling Hui, and we should let him go like this?

Liu Yu smiled coldly and said, "Old Qu, you didn't realize that Niu Lu was so impulsive just now, was he pretending to be so impulsive?"

"Pretended?" Qu Zhu laughed silently, "Don't Niu Lu have a feud with someone named Ling? Does he need to pretend?"

"What kind of grudge is just a cover-up. Just say that you are not competent, and the investigation of these matters is not clear." Liu Yu sighed, "Niu Lu and Ling Hui are not incompatible, but in fact they have a very tacit understanding behind their backs. As soon as they entered the door, two people acted in disaster relief and acted well. However, Niu Lu was not good at disguising."

Originally, Liu Yu was skeptical about Niu Lu and Ling Hui. When he saw Niu Lu and Ling Hui meeting today, he understood the general idea. They were just singing and talking. Niu Lu did not go up to pinch Ling Hui, but to tell Ling Hui what was going on. Then he told Ling Hui that it was confessed by the assassin, which was even more enthusiastic than Liu Yu to let Ling Hui be careful.

Qu Zhu asked for instructions: "What should we do next?"
