Chapter 530 Waiting for the Verdict
Especially for the reforms that Chen Cheng was planning, public opinion was the most important weapon. If such a weapon was mastered by others, it would be extremely detrimental to his reforms and Huidun.
At this time, Holmes, who was kneeling below, couldn't help but tighten his hands.
Just as he was about to speak, Chen Cheng spoke again.
"Your Majesty, I truly cannot bear to see such a villain live another day in this world. So please forgive me, Your Majesty. I have already sent Sheli to kill that villain."
At this time, Holmes and the others looked up and found that Sheli, who had been standing behind Chen Cheng and the others like a statue, was indeed gone.
Then, before Holmes could shout no, he saw Sheli reappear behind Chen Cheng and the others.
At this moment, on the floor of the bedroom, a head with an unwilling look in its eyes was lying there clearly.
When Homeis saw the familiar face, he closed his eyes and a thought of regret flashed through his mind.
At this moment, Chen Cheng saw Holmes's sudden change of mood and sneered:
"This villain is finally dead. It is a great mercy from Your Majesty that he was not cut into pieces."
Then, before Moss XIII could get angry, Chen Cheng spoke first:
"Your Majesty, please do not worry. Your Highness Huidun can naturally deal with the rumors spread by this villain. It will definitely not pollute your ears."
And Moss XIII said coldly:
"Since you know this, why don't you throw this thief's head away? Are you still leaving it here to pollute my eyes?"
At this moment, the old and the young cooperated closely, just like a pair of old colleagues who had worked together for decades.
Holmes had completely given up at this point and was just waiting for the guillotine to fall on his neck.
Chen Cheng looked at Homeis, who was kneeling with his head down and not saying a word, then he looked up and gave Moss XIII a charming smile.
"Your Majesty, this villain deserves to die, but I also believe that listening to both sides will lead to enlightenment, while only believing in one side will lead to ignorance.
Although this is a thief with ulterior motives, it is worth taking a look at what he brings. If it is useful, then adopt it. If it is useless, then just pretend you haven't seen it."
At this point, everyone had witnessed Chen Cheng's shamelessness.
When someone brings something, you kill him without saying a word, and then you have to see whether the thing he brought is good or useful.
So if it's useful, you use it and then you don't have to pay any other price, right?
But Chen Cheng didn't look at the look in the kneeling Sauron's eyes that said, "You are such a person." A white lotus with no political acumen was not worthy of looking into his eyes.
It definitely wasn't because Chen's cultivation was not yet high enough to reach the state where he could truly be indifferent to the gazes of outsiders.
As Chen Cheng spoke, he took out from behind him a stack of evidence that Yuan Feng had just brought to prove to Holmes.
Sheli's technique was very good, there wasn't a single trace of blood on the pile of things.
Chen Cheng handed over the evidence, and then said casually:
"I think the Prime Minister must be in great need of this evidence. I also suspect that the reason why the Prime Minister is silent is probably because he has already been kidnapped by this villain and can only act under his control."
As he spoke, Chen Cheng looked at Holmes intentionally or unintentionally.
Moss XIII looked at Chen Cheng thoughtfully, and then looked at Huidun.
Huidun nodded to Moss XIII, because he knew that Chen Cheng must have his own plans for keeping Homeis.
In fact, Chen Cheng’s murderous intention towards Homeis was no less than that of Moss XIII, although he did not hold any official position in the Kingdom of Moss.
But in fact, deep in his heart, he had already regarded the Kingdom of Moss, a remote human kingdom on the continent, as his base and his second home.
The methods of this old fox, Holmes, are so powerful that Chen Cheng is really afraid that this old guy will destroy the results of his hard work.
But at the same time, it was also because of his brilliant methods that Chen Cheng didn't want him to die.
After all, reform requires bloodshed, and Chen Cheng has not found anyone who can compete with the old fox Holmes, whether in terms of qualifications, talents or means.
Because if everything that happened today was planned by him long ago, then Moss XIII was not as cunning as this old fox.
Moss XIII felt that he was losing control of Holmes, so he had actually already decided to kill him.
As for the later part about giving him a chance to explain, that was just him retaining the last bit of affection between the monarch and his subject, instead of thinking of directly finding charges to kill him without knowing the reason.
But later Yuan Feng broke into the palace, which completely angered him.
But the old fox Holmes grasped his weakness very well. To put it bluntly, he was an extremely selfish person for the sake of the kingdom and himself.
As he grew older, what he feared most was his reputation, so he would definitely meet with Yuan Feng.
And Moss XIII believed that the evidence Chen Cheng handed over now would definitely be enough to impress him.
So he was hesitating, wondering whether to accept it or let Holmes go.
But it was obvious that the successor he chose, Huidun, believed in Chen Cheng and hoped that he would take over.
Just as Moss XIII took the stack of so-called evidence, Chen Cheng quickly pulled out the top one.
"I was mistaken. This one is mine."
Chen Cheng took the things away so blatantly, and then rolled them up into a ball and put them away.
Moss XIII didn't care. He took the evidence and started reading it.
As the sound of his flipping became faster and faster, his expression became more and more ugly.
Finally, he looked at Holmes with a cold gaze and said:
"Is this the evidence you gave me?"
At this moment, Holmes was like an old dog with a broken spine. He kowtowed heavily and said:
"I have nothing more to say. No matter what kind of person Your Majesty thinks I am, that is who I am."
At this moment, Holmes, who had been silent, burst into tears and cried out.
However, Moss XIII was not so calm. He roared angrily:
"I want your explanation, not these things."
As he said this, Moss XIII threw the pile of evidence out like flowers from the sky.
To be honest, Chen Cheng was also shocked at this moment.
In his opinion, this should be a treaty of exchange of interests that Homeis used to persuade Moss XIII to let him go, but now it seems to be his death warrant.
Chen Cheng picked up the evidence on the ground and began to look at it.
But the more I looked at his expression, the more something seemed off.
This is not a treaty of exchange of interests at all; it is clearly a record of Holmes's personal words and deeds as an official.
And judging from the person and handwriting above, this thing was not written by him.
