Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Chapter 25: Can you feel the malice of others?

The emotion Lu Ming felt most from the more than 1,200 people on his left was contempt and disdain.

Of course, it's normal for them to have such feelings towards him.

However, these servants are dispensable, and he now wants to restore the majesty of King Xiaoyao, so he does not intend to give these servants a chance and plans to dismiss them directly.

The more than 800 servants he planned to keep were all servants who still had some respect and fear for him, and these were the servants he needed.

Among the more than 1200 people he dismissed, many had murderous intentions towards him. Lu Ming suspected that these people with murderous intentions towards him were spies planted in the palace by other forces, and the person who drugged him was most likely among them.

Seeing that Lu Ming had already screened out these two thousand people, everyone present looked at Lu Ming, waiting for him to make the next arrangements.

Lu Ming pondered for a moment, then asked the maid to bring him a piece of paper, and then he picked up a pen and wrote down the names of those who had murderous intentions towards him.

Then, Lu Ming waved to Li Yunfan. Seeing Lu Ming's mysterious look, Li Yunfan came over puzzledly, looked at the list in front of Lu Ming and asked, "My King, what are your instructions?"

Lu Ming handed the list to Li Yunfan and said, "Arrest all of these people and interrogate them one by one."

This……

After Li Yunfan took the list from Lu Ming, he was stunned for a moment. He knew many people on the list, including the palace's personal guards.

Li Yunfan was about to say something when he suddenly remembered that Lu Ming had pointed out the traitor in the cloth shop a few days ago.

He decided to listen to Lu Ming first. No matter whether these people had done anything or not, he would arrest them first. If these people really had not done anything to offend Xiaoyao Palace, he would release them later.

Thinking of this, Li Yunfan immediately said to the palace guards: "Arrest everyone whose name I read!"

Then Li Yunfan began to read: "Feng Rui."

As soon as Li Yunfan finished speaking, Feng Rui's face suddenly changed and he quickly said, "My king, what do you mean?"

Feng Rui has always been by the side of the old King Xiaoyao, and he also has a certain reputation and status in the King Xiaoyao's Palace. For a moment, the guards of the palace were stunned, and they couldn't understand why Lu Ming wanted to arrest Feng Rui.

Seeing that the guards didn't move, Li Yunfan immediately scolded them, "Didn't you hear what I said? Arrest them!"

After hearing Li Yunfan's scolding, the guards in the martial arts training ground reacted instantly and immediately escorted Feng Rui out of the crowd.

Then Li Yunfan continued to read out the names. Everyone whose name he read out was shocked and pale. In just a moment, the guards of the palace arrested more than ten people.

Seeing these people, Su Wanyun showed confusion on her face. She really couldn't see anything wrong with these people. Why did Lu Ming let Li Yunfan arrest these people for interrogation?
At this moment, a person whose name was called suddenly flicked his sleeves, and a cloud of dust spread out, blocking the eyes of the palace guards who were about to catch him. Then the servant ran directly towards the back door of the palace.

Seeing the servant's amazing martial arts skills, Su Wanyun basically understood what was going on.

At this time, the spies hiding in the crowd also realized that they had been exposed, so they rushed out of the crowd and tried to escape from Xiaoyao Palace.

Just as Li Yunfan was about to capture them, he heard Lu Ming's indifferent voice, "Kill those who escape."

Lu Ming did not expect to get any information from these people. What he needed to do most now was to deter all forces. He believed that what happened in Xiaoyao Palace today would soon reach the ears of various forces.

Upon hearing Lu Ming's words, Li Yunfan and the palace guards immediately drew their crossbows and quickly dispatched the fleeing men. Seeing the bodies lying on the training ground, the servants realized their king was no longer the same. Immediately, both the eight hundred or so men on the right and the twelve hundred or so men on the left all knelt on the ground, their heads bowed, not daring to look up.

Li Yunfan clenched the sword in his hand and looked coldly at those who were arrested. He was a little suspicious at first whether he had arrested the wrong people, until he saw that several people on the list took the risk and chose to escape. He was basically convinced that everyone on Lu Ming's list was problematic.

Su Wanyun, who was standing next to Lu Ming, had an expression of disbelief on her face. She was a little overwhelmed by what was happening.

Lu Ming was able to find the traitors in the cloth shop because of the remaining smell on their clothes, but these people should not have any pungent smell left on them. How did Lu Ming know that there was something wrong with them?

Su Wanyun looked at Lu Ming with confusion. What on earth had happened to Lu Ming? Why did she feel that Lu Ming was becoming more and more unfamiliar?

Li Yunfan then arrested all the remaining people on the list. After that, Li Yunfan came to Lu Ming and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I will definitely interrogate these people carefully!"

At this time, Li Yunfan also felt a little admiration for Lu Ming. Although he didn't know how Lu Ming did it, if he were asked to find these people, he would definitely not be able to find them.

For someone like Feng Rui, who has followed the old King Xiaoyao for decades, he can't see any problem at all.

Lu Ming ignored Li Yunfan's words. He looked at the servants kneeling in the martial arts training ground and said, "Anyone whose name I have circled or crossed out will be expelled from the Xiaoyao Palace tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, wails broke out in the training ground.

"Your Majesty, please don't!"

"Your Majesty, I grew up in the palace. You can't treat me like this."

"Your Majesty, I belong to your father. You cannot drive me away!"

"Your Majesty..."

Lu Ming was too lazy to listen to these people's howling and wailing. He said directly to Li Yunfan: "I am exhausted. I believe you can handle it."

Having said that, Lu Ming was about to get up and leave, but as soon as he stood up, he felt dizzy. Su Wanyun and the maid beside him hurriedly supported Lu Ming.

With the help of Su Wanyun and the maid, Lu Ming returned to his bedroom, leaving the servants crying in the martial arts training ground.

After returning to the bedroom, Su Wanyun finally couldn't contain her curiosity and asked, "Lu Ming, how did you know there was something wrong with them?"

Lu Ming sat on the chair and turned to look at Su Wanyun. He decided to reveal a little about himself from now on. After all, he still had things to entrust to Su Wanyun next.

"I don't know why, but ever since I woke up from my illness, I've found that I can sense other people's ill intentions."

Hearing this, Su Wanyun's brain was stunned, and her clear and bright eyes flashed slightly.

Can you sense the malice of others?

It seems that only immortals can do this?

It is rumored that the old King Xiaoyao is good at judging people. It was precisely because of the help of the old King Xiaoyao that Emperor Taizu was able to win over a group of people loyal to him and thus establish the Great Zhou Dynasty.
