Because he was worried about Jiang Wan's safety, Emperor Jiaqing had no time to deal with the assassination, so he didn't have time to deal with it until the next day.

In order to find out the poison Jiang Wan had poisoned as soon as possible, the guards were asked to interrogate the two captured assassins first as to what kind of poison they had quenched on the arrows, and the rest would be asked later.

After all, the person has fallen into their hands, and the other party will definitely not be able to escape. They can interrogate him again at any time, but Jiang Wan's situation at that time was critical and he could not wait.

The two assassins were locked in an uninhabited courtyard, their hands and feet were tied with ropes, and their mouths were blocked with something to prevent them from committing suicide.

After all, these two people are death warriors and are not afraid of death at all.

Not only that, there were people guarding it at twelve hours every day. For fear of any accident, these two people committed suicide while no one was paying attention.

After all, it took a lot of effort to catch the person, and they cannot die before asking for useful information.

When Emperor Jiaqing passed by, the people from the Criminal Department were still interrogating him. In fact, in one day of interrogation, they had basically done everything they needed to do.

Officials from the Ministry of Punishment naturally have a unique set of interrogation methods. As long as the prisoner falls into their hands, unless they are dead, they have plenty of ways to pry open their mouths.

This is also the reason why Emperor Jiaqing ordered that the survivors should be kept alive.

Although those dead soldiers are not afraid of death, it is not easy for them to die.

Sometimes for them, death is a kind of relief.

"My lord, the emperor is here." An officer came in and said respectfully to the official wearing a scarlet python robe.

"I understand." The official nodded upon hearing this, and then strode out.

"Is the emperor here for this assassination?" Cui Yuan respectfully saluted Emperor Jiaqing and then asked.

He is the Minister of Justice, and he was among the officials who came to the summer resort this time. After the two assassins were caught yesterday, they were sent to him for interrogation.

"But who ordered it?" Emperor Jiaqing looked at Cui Yuan and said calmly.

Although there was no trace of anger on his face, Cui Yuan could tell that he was in a bad mood.

The two had known each other since they were young, and Cui Yuan knew Emperor Jiaqing's temper very well.

But Cui Yuan also knew that he was right to be angry. After all, those assassins came to assassinate him. Although he was fine, his most beloved concubine was injured and it was said that she almost lost her life.

"Those two people have been recruited. They are Prince Rui's old subordinates." Cui Yuan replied.

"Lao Liu has been dead for so many years, and yet he still lingers like this!" Upon hearing this name, Emperor Jiaqing was obviously a little surprised. Prince Rui has been dead for so many years, and his remaining forces have been eradicated long ago. How could there be any residue left?

Cui Yuan: "When Wei Chen heard the news, he was a little surprised."

The Prince Rui they talked about was the son of the imperial concubine, the sixth son of the late emperor, and the biggest competitor of Emperor Jiaqing at the time.

After Prince Rui failed to compete for the throne with Emperor Jiaqing, he died in the hands of Emperor Jiaqing, and his power was uprooted by Emperor Jiaqing.

However, although Prince Rui's influence in the court was eradicated, there were still some fish that slipped through the net. Those fish that slipped through the net also sent people to assassinate Emperor Jiaqing, but they all failed. For this reason, Emperor Jiaqing also sent people After a thorough investigation, they found it out.

I thought that all those people had been wiped out, but I didn't expect that these people were like weeds that couldn't be removed no matter what. They reappeared after a few years.

Although Emperor Jiaqing didn't want to admit it, his sixth brother was indeed a tough competitor. He had been dead for so many years, and there were still so many followers who were willing to sacrifice their lives for him.

In fact, Emperor Jiaqing's suspicion was King Yu at first, because King Yu's best eldest son died because of him, so he was the most suspicious.

Although King Yu was not very courageous, Emperor Jiaqing felt that it was possible if he held a grudge against him because of the loss of his eldest son, and was driven to the point of being overwhelmed by hatred and wanted to avenge his eldest son.

But now that he heard that it was not King Yu, but King Rui, Emperor Jiaqing knew that his suspicion was wrong.

His third brother is timid. Although he did have some thoughts at the beginning, he was so frightened that his courage was probably shattered and he would not dare to provoke him again.

"Leave this matter to your Ministry of Punishment. We must wipe out all the remnants of Prince Rui's gang and don't miss anyone again. I don't want to be assassinated by Prince Rui's remnants of gangs!" Emperor Jiaqing immediately ordered Cui Yuan. road.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. We will definitely catch all those people this time, and we will not let anyone go." Cui Yuan promised.

If he didn't eradicate those people completely this time, he himself would feel ashamed to face the emperor.
