Chapter 361 Did you do it
When Lampard heard these words from the emperor, he felt like he fell into an ice cellar, and was so scared that he was sweating. It was not until this time that he thought of one thing, that was, the frame-up incident was exactly the same as the last time he planned it. However, the person who was framed last time was Lan Shit, and this time it was himself. Last time he robbed the caravan of Stephen and Heglis' families, and this time someone assassinated the emperor. Although the details were different, the techniques were indeed exactly the same. No wonder the emperor was suspicious.
After communicating this, Lampard hurriedly defended: "Your Majesty, I'm wronged. This incident really has nothing to do with me. Think about it, Your Majesty and I have no grudges and grudges. What benefits will be for assassinating you? Apart from bringing disaster to the family, I have no benefits at all. How could I do such a stupid thing? It's clear that someone framed me!"
"Then who would frame you?" the emperor suddenly sneered.
"This~" Lampard was stunned at first, then said with a risk: "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 such a way to plot against me!"
"Fart!" The fat man became angry when he heard this and immediately cursed: "You are slandering!"
"Lampard, is there any evidence for your accusation?" the emperor 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 will foolishly carry out the same conspiracy one after another?" Lampard then explained: "So, only those who want to take revenge on me will frame me in the same way!"
When the emperor heard this, he felt that it made some sense. He immediately hesitated again.
When the fat man saw this, he immediately said anxiously: "You little bastard are all enemies all over the world. The person who hates you the most is Grand Duke Shiraki. Why do you say that our family framed you? I think you are clearly just making a fuss about it!"
"Yes, Shiragou is indeed the one who hates you the most. Last time he wrote a letter to remind me to pay attention to you. Almost every word in the letter is scolding you, which shows that he hates you to the core. Why don't you say that he framed you, but instead say that it was the Stephen family?" The emperor said in confusion.
"Because Grand Duke Shiraki is beyond the reach of our griffin kingdom, the only person who can design such a trap is the Stephen family, which is extremely powerful in the local area!" Lampard said hurriedly.
"Ahem!" At this time, Heglis suddenly coughed twice. "You kid also robbed my caravan. If according to your logic, whoever you offend will be the one who framed you. Does that mean that I also participated in the assassination of Your Majesty?"
"This~" Lampard was speechless by Heglis's question.
The fat man immediately sneered: "He offended His Majesty, and for this His Majesty he fined him 150,000 gold coins. According to his bullshit logic, is it said that His Majesty himself is also suspected of assassinating himself?"
"It's so ridiculous!" The emperor immediately sneered when he heard the fat man's words.
"No, no. I don't mean that." Lampard hurriedly defended: "Your Majesty, please think, I have no grudges and you, how could I assassinate you for no reason?"
Obviously, he was speechless by the fat man and Heglis, and he never dared to snatch around and bite him again. He could only defend himself separately.
"Who said you have no grudge against Your Majesty?" The fat man immediately sneered: "Didn't you have any resentment towards Your Majesty recently?"
"Your Majesty punished me to educate me, how dare I feel resentful!" Lampard hurriedly defended.
"It sounds so nice!" the fat man sneered.
"Don't swear!" Frank immediately said furiously: "Although my August family doesn't say that it is rich enough to rival a country, they have a small savings. Will he assassinate His Majesty for a mere 150,000 gold coins? You are simply trying to make a fuss!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nodded slightly, obviously they were suspicious of this excuse. Even His Majesty the Emperor could not help but wonder again, thinking, am I really wrong?
But at this moment, the Grand Duke of Heglith said softly, "It is said that His Highness, the eldest princess, is coming back soon!"
Although Heglis's words were not loud, when he heard Frank and Lampard's ears, they were as if they were landslides, so they were shocked.
Among the nobles in the hall, many people couldn't understand what Heglis meant. However, all those who understood could not help but change their faces.
As for His Majesty the Emperor, he was wise, of course he would not be unable to hear the meaning of it. He directly showed a sudden enlightenment. Then he sneered: "Hehe, very good. Very good! I finally understand!"
It turns out that what Heglis said is actually an hinting at the battle for the throne. You should know that although the eldest prince is younger than the third prince, she is only the second heir. However, her teacher is Dongfang Bubai, the most powerful man in the human race on the mainland. In addition, the eldest princess has amazing talent and hard work, so the eldest princess' strength has surpassed that of the third prince. On the continent where she is dominant with her strength, this alone is enough to give the eldest prince the qualification to replace the third prince.
Moreover, as far as the forces behind it are concerned, the third prince is now only Augustus, the big family, and the other families are still waiting and watching. 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 Heglis family and the Stephen family are now wearing almost both pairs of pants, and 80% support the eldest princess.
You should know that the Stephen family and the Heglith family are very powerful, and together they occupy almost a quarter of the power of the Griffon Kingdom. Especially the old mage of the Stephen family, who actually controls the strongest magic army and has a very good relationship with other powerful players in the holy realm. In this way, the eldest princess' momentum has greatly surpassed the third prince. If the eldest princess is given a few years to develop, she will probably be able to easily replace the third prince.
Under such circumstances, the situation of the third prince became unfavorable, and the August family supported him would naturally be a little anxious. Then, if the emperor suddenly became assassinated at this critical moment, the third prince could naturally ascend the throne, and the eldest princess who were still abroad would have no chance.
Therefore, the meaning of Heglis's words is to quietly point out this key point. Just one seemingly unbounded sentence directly drove the August family into the abyss of hell. It is indeed a recognized wise man, but he is smart enough.
After hearing the emperor's words, Frank and Lampard were immediately ashamed and hurriedly knelt down and cried to tell their innocence. However, although they cried so much that they could not completely eliminate the emperor's suspicion of them.
However, the August family was a big family after all, and the emperor was just suspicious this time, and he really couldn't find any real evidence. Therefore, it was not easy to directly post the charge of assassinating the emperor. However, if such a big mistake was made, the emperor naturally could not spare them easily, so he could only scold them fiercely, and then ordered the abolition of Lampard's aristocratic status, be beaten to a civilian, and he would never be granted titles.
After hearing this punishment, Frank was relieved and thought to himself that as long as he didn't deal with himself, he would have a long life in the future, and he would always have a chance to equalize this game.
But for Lampard, this undoubtedly means announcing his death penalty. Because he has completely lost his fate with the nobles, he not only cannot inherit the position of the head of the family, but also cannot even remain in the family. Because he knows his father too well, he must sacrifice in order to please the emperor to protect the family's interests. The lightest thing is to be expelled from the family. If it is severe, he may even be executed by the family law and secretly executed.
The fact is indeed as Lampard expected. After returning, he was immediately declared exiled by Frank and immediately exiled to the frontier.
As for the real murderer who assassinated His Majesty, although the royal secret agents sent out a large number of people, they could not find it, especially the people who performed the assassination, there was no clue at all. They didn't even understand how the murderer made the four-sided shields so powerful. Is it magic or fighting spirit, or other equipment or special skills. In short, everything was a mystery. Faced with such a result, the emperor was certainly not satisfied. After cursing the secret agent's success several times, the angered and angry Majesty finally couldn't help it and directly cut off the secret agent's head. So, in just over half a year, because of Lao Xie alone, the Griffin Kingdom had changed three secret agents in a row.
Just after the meeting, the old mage couldn't wait to return to the magic tower, called Lao Xie to the front, stared at him and asked angrily: "Did you do it?"
