Broken mountains and rivers: Sushou restores the universe

Chapter 1076 Can't Kill
At this time, all the ministers had already stood back to their original places, and only three guards were left to firmly restrain the assassin who assassinated Wei Ying, kneeling on the ground and facing Shen Muyu's direction.

Shen Muyu sat down and looked down at the assassin kneeling on the ground, his expression turned cold, and he asked coldly: "Who are you, who sent you to assassinate Princess Ying? I can spare your life."

At this time, the guards had carefully searched for the hidden poisonous fangs in the assassin's mouth and pulled them out, preventing him from biting the poison to kill himself, and simply bandaging his severed arm to prevent him from bleeding to death.

Hearing Shen Muyu's question, the guard who was still pinching the assassin's jaw to prevent him from biting his tongue released his hand so that the assassin could answer.

However, the assassin just snorted coldly, tilted his head and looked aside, and refused to answer at all.

Shen Muyu waited for a while, his voice became colder, and he said coldly: "If you refuse to answer, then don't blame me for torture and extorting a confession from you."

The assassin still snorted coldly and remained silent.

Shen Muyu raised his hand, and was about to order the assassin to be dragged down to torture him to extract a confession, but he only heard a somewhat uncertain voice, hesitantly said: "Your Majesty, I seem to have seen this assassin..."

Shen Muyu looked at the thirty-year-old civil servant who spoke, and said, "Really, where did Xu Qing meet this assassin? You can tell."

The civil servant surnamed Xu bent down deeply, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I am not sure whether what I have written is true. If I am wrong, please forgive my sin."

Shen Muyu nodded and said: "If Xu Qing is wrong, I will definitely not punish you. If what I said is true, I will reward you. Tell me."

Wen Chen surnamed Xu heard the words, and then he opened his mouth and said: "Just today, when the emperor summoned the ministers and others to enter the palace, the ministers met Sir Yu by chance. They entered the palace together. At that time, the subordinates felt strange seeing this man with his head lowered behind Master Yu, and glanced at his appearance when he accidentally raised his head. But at that time, the assassin was wearing Lord Yu's clothes. The clothes of the servants in the house, but I don’t know how he changed the clothes of the guards in the palace and sneaked in here.”

Shen Muyu had a premonition about who sent this assassin, so when he heard what the civil servant surnamed Xu said, there was no surprise on his face, but indifference and coldness, with a murderous aura faintly visible.

Shen Muyu has always been a person who is good at hiding his emotions, but this time because the assassin assassinated Wei Ying, the murderous look on his face was so obvious that all the officials seemed terrified.

Shen Muyu remained silent for a moment, and did not use the assassin to confirm whether he was the one sent by Yu Chengshen, but said coldly: "Old minister Yu Chengshen knew that Princess Ying was pregnant with my child, but still sent an assassin Trying to assassinate Princess Ying, his actions are vicious, and his heart can be punished! I absolutely cannot let him go lightly! Come on, Yu Chengshen’s crime of murdering my heir is unforgivable. Immediately put him in prison and put him in prison tomorrow. Go to the execution ground and behead for public display!"

As soon as Shen Muyu's words came out, the courtiers in the hall were shocked, and it also made all the courtiers see the importance of Wei Ying in Shen Muyu's heart, and it made him ignore Chengshen's death. The scholars criticized him more and more fiercely, and they wanted to kill Yu Chengshen to deter those who dared to assassinate Wei Ying.

And Wei Ying immediately turned her head to look at Shen Muyu, and whispered anxiously close to his ear: "Yu'er, Yu Chengshen can't be killed!"

Shen Muyu was completely unmoved by Wei Ying's admonition, and just watched with cold eyes his dozen or so personal guards obeyed his order.
