Chapter 361: Did you do it
Hearing these words from the emperor, Lampard felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar and was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. Only then did he think of one thing, that is, this frame-up incident was exactly the same as the one he planned last time. It's just that the person who was framed last time was Lan Shite, and this time it's him. Last time he robbed the caravan of Stephen and the Hercules family, but this time someone else assassinated the emperor. Although the details are different, the methods are exactly the same. No wonder the emperor was suspicious.
After understanding this, Lampard hurriedly defended: "Your Majesty, I was wronged. This incident really had nothing to do with me. Think about it, Your Majesty and I have no grudges and assassinated you. What good will it do? Apart from bringing disaster to the family, I have no good at all. How could I do such a stupid thing? Someone is clearly setting me up!"
"Then who do you think will frame you?" The emperor suddenly sneered.
"This~" Lampard was stunned for a moment, and then said bravely: "I thought this was done by the Stephen family. They were angry that I sold psychedelic drugs to the robbers, so they came up with this idea. Find a way to plot against me!"
"Fart!" The fat man became angry when he heard this, and immediately yelled: "You are a slanderer!"
"Lampard, is there any evidence for your accusation?" the emperor also asked immediately.
"You can also see that the methods of these two cases are very close. As long as you are a normal person, who would foolishly carry out the same conspiracy one after another?" Lampard later explained: "So, it can only be Those who want to take revenge on me will frame me in the same way!"
When the emperor heard this, he thought it made sense. He immediately hesitated again.
As soon as the fat man saw it, he immediately said anxiously: "You little bastard, you have enemies all over the world, and the person who hates you the most is the White Bird Grand Duke. Why do you say that our family framed you? I think you are clearly using strong words to make sense. ! ”
"Yes, Grand Duke Shiratori is indeed the person who hates you the most. Last time he wrote a letter specifically to remind me to pay attention to you. Almost every sentence in the letter was scolding you, which shows that he hates you. It goes to the core. Why didn't you say it was him who framed you, but instead you said it was the Stephen family?" the emperor said in confusion.
"Because the White Bird Archduke is beyond the reach of our Griffin Kingdom, the only person who can design such a trap is the very powerful Stephen family in the local area!" Lampard said hurriedly.
"Ahem!" At this time, Hercules suddenly coughed twice. "You kid also robbed my caravan. If according to your logic, whoever you offended will be the one who framed you. Does that mean that I also participated in the assassination of His Majesty?"
"This~" Lampard was immediately speechless when asked by Hercules.
The fat man immediately sneered on the side: "He also offended His Majesty, for which Your Majesty fined him 150,000 gold coins. So according to his **** logic, does that mean that His Majesty himself is also suspected of assassinating him?"
"It's so ridiculous!" The emperor immediately sneered after hearing what the fat man said.
"No, no. That's not what I meant." Lampard hurriedly defended: "Your Majesty, please think about it, I have no grudge against you, how could I assassinate you for no reason?"
Obviously, he was speechless by Fatty and Hercules and no longer dared to bite anyone. I can only make another excuse.
"Who said you have no grudge against His Majesty?" The fat man immediately sneered at the side: "Don't you feel resentful towards His Majesty because the 150,000 gold coins you recently obtained illegally were confiscated?"
"Your Majesty punished me to educate me, how dare I feel resentful!" Lampard hurriedly defended.
"That's really nice to say!" the fat man sneered.
"Don't be slanderous!" Frank immediately said angrily: "Although our August family is not rich enough to rival the country, we still have a small amount of savings. Would you still assassinate His Majesty for a mere 150,000 gold coins? You are simply doing this. Strong words! ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nodded slightly, obviously doubting this excuse. Even His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help but wonder again, wondering, am I really wrong?
But at this moment, Grand Duke Hercules said softly, "It is said that Her Royal Highness the Princess is coming back soon!"
Although Hercules said these words in a low voice, when they heard it, it was like a landslide in the ears of Frank and Lampard, so that they were immediately stunned and stunned.
Among the nobles in the hall, many people did not understand what Hercules meant. But everyone who understood could not help but change their expressions.
As for His Majesty the Emperor, he is wise and will certainly not fail to understand the meaning. He immediately showed a look of enlightenment. Then he sneered and said: "Haha, very good. Very good! I finally understand!"
It turns out that what Hercules said was actually hinting at the struggle for the throne. You know, although the eldest princess is younger than the third prince, she is only the second in line to succeed. But her teacher is Dongfang Bubai, the most powerful person among the human race on the continent. Coupled with the eldest princess's amazing talent and hard work, the eldest princess's strength has surpassed that of the third prince. In a continent where strength rules the roost, this alone is enough for the eldest princess to be qualified to replace the third prince.
What's more, in terms of the forces behind him, only one big family, Augustus, is the third prince's unwavering support, while the other families are still in a wait-and-see attitude. But the eldest princess is different. She is the daughter-in-law of the Stephen family, so she will win the full support of the Stephen family. The Hercules family and the Stephen family almost wear the same pants now, and 80% of them also support the eldest princess.
You must know that the Stephen family and the Hercules family are very powerful. Together they account for almost a quarter of the power of the Griffin Kingdom. Especially the old mage of the Stephen family actually controls the strongest The Magic Legion has a very good relationship with other strong players in the Sanctuary. As a result, the eldest princess's popularity has greatly surpassed that of the third prince. If the eldest princess is given a few more years to develop, she will most likely be able to easily replace the third prince.
In this case, the situation of the third prince became unfavorable, and the Augustus family who supported him was naturally a little anxious. So, if the emperor is suddenly assassinated at this critical moment, the third prince will be able to ascend the throne naturally, and the eldest princess who is still abroad will have no chance at all.
Therefore, the meaning of Hercules' words was to quietly point out this key point. Just one seemingly irrelevant statement directly sent the August family into the abyss of hell. He is truly worthy of being recognized as a wise man, he is just smart enough.
After Frank and Lampard heard the emperor's words, their faces turned pale and they hurriedly knelt down and cried out their innocence. However, although they cried earth-shatteringly, they still could not completely eliminate the emperor's suspicion of them.
It's just that the Augustus family is a big family after all, and the emperor is just suspicious this time, and he really can't find any real evidence. Therefore, it is not good to directly accuse them of assassinating the emperor. But after such a big mistake, the emperor naturally couldn't let them off easily, so he could only scold them severely, and then ordered that Lampard's aristocratic status be revoked, he would be classified as a civilian, and he would never be knighted.
After hearing this punishment, Frank breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself, as long as he doesn't deal with himself, there will still be a long time to come, and there will always be a chance to equalize this game.
But for Lampard, this is undoubtedly tantamount to announcing his death sentence. Because he has completely lost contact with the nobility, not only is it impossible for him to inherit the position of head of the family, he is even impossible to stay in the family. Because he knew his father too well, in order to please the emperor and preserve the interests of the family, he would definitely have to sacrifice himself. The lightest case is to be kicked out of the house. If the case is serious, the family law may be enforced and executed secretly.
The fact is exactly as Lampard expected. After returning, he was immediately expelled from his home by Frank and was immediately exiled to the border.
As for the real culprit who assassinated His Majesty, even though the royal spies deployed a large number of people, they could not be found. Especially the person who carried out the assassination had no clue at all. They did not even figure out the murderer in the end. How to make four shields so powerful. Is it magic or fighting spirit, or relying on other equipment or special skills? In short, everything is a mystery. Faced with such a result, the emperor was certainly not satisfied. After scolding the spy leader several times to no avail, the angry Majesty finally couldn't help it and chopped off the head of the spy leader. Therefore, in just over half a year, because of Lao Xie, the Griffin Kingdom has changed three secret agent leaders in a row.
Just after the meeting ended, the old mage couldn't wait to return to the magic tower, called Lao Xie to him, stared angrily and asked: "Did you do it?"
