Chapter 497 The beginning of the counterattack
However, Huidun had no intention of leaving at this time. He took out a memorial from his pocket and said:
"This time, I am impeaching the Grand Prince's consort for colluding with bandits, disregarding the law, killing brothers, and shielding criminals, among other eighteen charges."
Huidun's move caused a huge uproar, and all the officials, big and small, in the State Council were frightened into silence by his words.
They didn't expect that the final drama of the succession battle would be staged so soon.
Holmes was stunned at first, and then looked at the memorial handed over by Huidun. This was a big thunder, and he had to accept it even if he didn't want to.
And judging by the situation today, it is impossible for Holmes to just stand by and watch.
He has to choose a position today.
After waiting for a while, Holmes did not accept the memorial. Huidun said with a half-smile:
"Isn't the Prime Minister going to answer it?"
Huidun's words woke up the somewhat confused Holmes. He glanced at Huidun, and then at Berkeley, who was slumped on the ground with a dejected look on his face. He knew that he had no choice.
He represented the interests of court officials, but today Chen Cheng told everyone that Jinmu represented the interests of the church, and in order to deal with the officials, the church did not hesitate to instigate his confidants to rebel.
So now, Holmes actually has no choice but to follow Huidun.
Homuis took the memorial from Huidun and said:
"This is not a decision that a minister like me can make, but I will initiate an investigation according to your memorial. Once the facts are clarified, I will report the results to Your Majesty, who will make the final decision."
Huidun showed a satisfied smile on his face and said:
"That's good."
Then he wiped his face, his hands stained with blood.
He waved his hands and said:
"Damn, it's so dirty. I'm going to wash it when we get back."
Huidun wiped the stains off his face and walked out of the Government Affairs Council.
After Huidun left, Holmes glanced around the Council of State, and then said in a cold tone:
"If there are still those who are disloyal, you can get out now. Otherwise, if you come out again, I will let him know what it means to be a prime minister."
Then Holmes took Huidun's memorial and called his confidants to hold a closed-door meeting.
On Fumen Street, Xiao Dun quickly came to Huidun's side.
Seeing that he had something to say, Huidun smiled and said:
"Don't be nervous, just say whatever you want to say."
To be honest, although Xiao Dun knew that Huidun was going to take action, he was still frightened when he saw Huidun's actions today.
After all, Huidun previously showed himself to be a cultured aristocrat, but today Huidun gives people more of a feeling of madness.
"Do you think I'm completely different today? I'm crazy and different from before."
Huidun said it directly.
"Since he doesn't want to act openly and honestly and prefers to use underhanded tactics, I will naturally accompany him.
And if I don't go a little crazy, how can I force him to speed up? I don't have time to play house with him."
Of course, when they returned to the Earl's Mansion, the little maid who had woken up saw Huidun coming back. Her eyes were red, and she ran towards Huidun quickly with a seal in her hand.
"Your Highness, there is news from the Master. There is news from the Master."
The little maid came to Huidun and knelt down immediately, then raised the seal in her hand above her head.
When Huidun saw the seal in the maid's hand, he immediately took it from her. When he saw the words engraved under the seal, he quickly pulled the maid aside and asked:
"Where did this seal come from?"
The little maid also answered immediately:
"It was the weirdo who took the master away before who showed up to me. He told me that the master is fine now, but he needs to rest, so he can't let the master come back."
After she finished speaking, the little maid continued crying:
"But, but I haven't seen the master either. Is he really okay?"
After getting the answer he wanted, Huidun's heart finally settled down, because he had already known that it was Sheli who took Chen Cheng away.
Because according to the description of the little maids, that was what Sheli looked like wearing armor.
At that time, Sheli said that he wanted to follow Chen Cheng, but the person behind him disappeared. This time he appeared to save Chen Cheng, and Huidun also felt relieved.
Then Huidun looked at the little maid's swollen eyes and said:
"Don't cry, or you'll make a fool of yourself. That fellow Brown will be so heartbroken when he comes back, and he'll blame the Earl for being mean."
At the beginning, Huidun was really a little annoyed with the little maid. If Chen Cheng hadn't wanted to take the little maid shopping, perhaps none of this would have happened.
But after finding out the truth, he knew that even if he failed this time, those guys would still attack Chen Cheng next time, so he couldn't blame the little maid.
Huidun called people over and asked them to send the little maid back to Chen Cheng's yard, and told them to treat the little maid well and not to mistreat her.
Huidun knew the thoughts of these servants very well. If he didn't warn them, these guys would definitely pretend to obey and bully this little maid.
After the maids left, Xiao Dun said excitedly:
"Since Brown is fine, the plan is still..."
Huidun waved his hand and said:
"Brown knows me well and knows that if anything happens to him I will definitely take action. That's why he chose not to come back in the short term to avoid becoming a burden to me."
Then Huidun closed his eyes and said:
"The plan has already begun, so I can't stop. This time I'm going to hit the target with one strike."
As he spoke, Huidun opened his eyes, his eyes filled with a cold and resolute light.
"Tell the people we sent out to speed up. I need Brother Seven to come to the capital as quickly as possible."
Huidun instructed Xiaodun.
At this time, in a courtyard in an alley in the Acropolis, the disciple of the Potion Master used the money given by Chen Cheng to prepare a large table of delicious food.
"My name is Brown, and I don't know what my brother's name is yet."
Chen Cheng picked up a chicken leg and said while chewing it.
"Hello, Brown. My name is Nemo, and I'm the master's disciple."
Nemo wiped his greasy hands on his body, then reached out to shake hands with Chen Cheng.
The old man on the side was very worried when he saw this. Nemo was too disrespectful. How could he be someone you could shake hands with casually? If anything went wrong, they would all be dead.
In this strange atmosphere, Sheli walked out from the shadows.
Seeing Sheli appear, the old man was frightened again.
Sheli ignored him and told Chen Cheng what he had learned.
Chen Cheng finished eating the chicken leg and then said:
"Don't rush into things, eat first. After dinner, I have something else to trouble you with."
Sheli didn't ask anything, just picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.
He ate very quickly, perhaps this was a skill he developed in the city of sin.
Chen Cheng and his friends started eating earlier than him, but in the end he still finished eating with them.
He picked his teeth with a toothpick, and then Chen Cheng invited Sheli into the house.
