As soon as the two of them arrived at the prison, the guards there called Huo Hanzhou "Sir" in fear.
Seeing that Huo Hanzhou still seemed to have real power, he thought to himself, no wonder he came to the prison in such an upright manner.
"Where are the people caught today being held?" Huo Hanzhou looked at the guard and asked.
The guard thought that Huo Hanzhou was here to interrogate the prisoner on the emperor's order. After all, this had happened before. He didn't dare to ask any more questions. He bowed and respectfully led the two of them to a cell door.
"Sir, this is the person who assassinated Your Majesty today and was caught by General Lin."
Huo Hanzhou nodded, asked for the key, and waved his hand to let him go about his business.
The prisoner's hands and feet were tied with thick iron chains, making it difficult to move. He also did something that could hurt others. Huo Hanzhou opened the cell door and walked in.
"Want to judge me? Dog slave, let me tell you, your dog emperor has done a lot of injustice. I am doing justice for heaven, and there is no one behind me." The prisoner shouted loudly, and spat at Huo Hanzhou with emotion.
Huo Hanzhou flashed past without saying a word. He just called the prison supervisor, dragged the prisoner out, told people some criminal law methods, and repeatedly used them on this prisoner who was "doing justice for heaven".
Yu Shu was still curious about the torture scene, wanting to know what powerful means Huo Hanzhou would use to interrogate people, but before she could see it, she was called out of the prison by Huo Hanzhou and went to another desolate palace.
Yu Shu was wondering why she came here. After seeing four people dressed in different clothes, she realized that these four people were also players.
The players all gathered together and began to integrate the information obtained.
"I am the personal maid of the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine has a smart little prince. When the emperor comes to her palace, the imperial concubine only serves her as a routine. She has no special emotions towards the concubine who is vying for favor. I suspect that the person who assassinated the emperor is the imperial concubine. She wants to kill the emperor and support the young prince to succeed to the throne and become the boss of the harem." A woman dressed as a palace maid guessed.
"I think the Queen Mother is evil. She is not the emperor's biological mother. She also has a beloved son who was kicked out of the capital by the emperor to become a prince. It makes sense for her to attack the emperor." A woman wearing a nun's clothes said.
After the two of them finished speaking, the man next to Yu Shu, who was dressed in luxurious clothes, knocked his hands with a fan and spoke sheepishly.
"I suspect that I ordered the assassination of the emperor, my dear brother."
When all the players looked over, he distributed several letters to everyone.
When Yu Shu saw that the letters contained words about conspiring with other countries and spreading news, she understood why this man doubted "himself".
Those piles of letters of collaboration and treason were full of malice towards the emperor, and if they coveted the throne, I wouldn't blame him for thinking so.
After reading the letter, the remaining players patted the man's shoulder comfortingly, each with their own suspicions.
In the end, the noble concubine, the queen mother, the prince, the prime minister, and several princes who were delayed by the emperor in establishing him as prince were all suspected.
Yu Shu secretly thought that this emperor was so hated, so many people around him suspected of wanting his life.
"What about you? Are you and the eunuch next to you serving the emperor? You should be able to see the emperor's movements. Does the emperor have any suspicion?" The man playing the prince asked Yu Shu.
But the question was a question, his eyes kept wandering over Yu Shu's exposed white hands, as if he was guessing how a woman could become a eunuch, and whether she had any special status.
"We went to the prison before coming to Leng Palace. As expected, we were able to get some useful information from the killer." Huo Hanzhou suddenly pulled Yu Shu to his side and said to the person playing the role of the prince.
The man was startled by his eyes, and a cold sweat broke out on his back. He just nodded, not daring to look at Yu Shu with any offensive eyes.
When other players heard Huo Hanzhou's words, they heard other meanings.
He is also a eunuch, and he can freely go to the prison to interrogate important criminals. This is a chamberlain as powerful as Wei Zhongxian in the history books.
With this identity, he can get close to the emperor, and can go in and out of prisons, harems and other places, but he can investigate a lot of things, so he has to hold his thighs.
