Chapter 409 Great Purge
Li Lin's Veritaserum did not use a systematic formula, but was prepared by himself based on the knowledge he had mastered.
This drug actually uses nanogene technology to stimulate the brain through nanorobots, thus forcing people to tell the truth in everything they say.
After practice, Demacia's interrogators have used this drug to interrogate more than a hundred people, and no mistakes have been made yet.
As the colorless, translucent medicine like ordinary water was injected down Newman's neck, he yelled and tried to jump up, but was held down by Li Lin and Xin Zhao.
But within two seconds, Newman's expression suddenly became dull, and his whole person became much quieter.
Under the guidance of Li Lin and Zhao Xin, he sat back in his seat.
Camilla looked at his posture, secretly thinking something was wrong, and quickly asked: "Master Zachary, are you, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Camilla." There was no emotion in Newman's voice, just like a bionic robot equipped with a smart chip.
Camilla paled a little when she heard that he actually called her by her first name instead of her last name.
On the surface, her relationship with Newman and the Zachary family is not that good.
Noticing the surprised look cast by the king, Camilla felt desperate. It was too late to run away at this time.
Immediately afterwards, Wallis also asked: "Are you uncomfortable in any way?"
"No, I just feel...I feel a lot more relaxed."
Wallis scratched his beard with a few gray strands on his chin in confusion, not quite understanding what he wanted to express.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, this potion doesn't last long."
Jarvan III glanced at Li Lin and nodded to him. Then his eyes were filled with coldness. He stared at Newman again and asked directly: "Do you have something to do with this riot in the capital?"
Newman replied without any hesitation: "Yes."
As his voice gradually fell, the parliament hall suddenly fell into a very brief silence, and then completely boiled.
"Oh my God! Did I hear you right?"
"Lord Zachary actually participated in the riot?"
"How could a dignified minister of law do such a thing..."
"This is rebellion or collusion with Noxus. How is this possible?!"
"Huh, relying on their status as patriarchs, the Zachary family has long ignored His Majesty! A family that has only risen for a few decades does not care about what the Crown Guard family does?"
“But is this so-called ‘truth serum’ really reliable?”
"..."
Even Jarvan III's breathing was consistent, and then his whole temperament suddenly changed, with raging flames of anger burning deep in his eyes.
He had already experimented with Veritaserum and was convinced of its effectiveness.
Councilor Jiandun actually intends to rebel...
Jarvan III simply couldn't imagine it.
Under Tiana's arrangement, more soldiers ran in outside the door, but this time they were no longer the guards stationed at Dawn Castle, but the fearless vanguard who had been stationed here for a long time.
The heavily armed elite shield soldiers rushed into the crowd and captured all the followers who had accompanied Newman to attend the Shield Council.
No matter how they howled and screamed, saying how innocent they were, Tiana, whose face was extremely gloomy, just waved her hand and asked her subordinates to take them all away.
Immediately afterwards, Tiana spoke to Jarvan III and Barrett, and hurried out of the hall.
She did not lower her voice, but made it clear that she would arrange for the Fearless Vanguard to take all the Zachary family members into custody pending trial. If there was resistance, they would be killed.
The crowd was once again in an uproar.
Before leaving, Tiana glanced at Camila in surprise, her face was extremely pale and ugly.
At the round table of Strong Shield, the expression on Jarvan III's face matched that of Jarvan III, and his voice was also cold and terrifying: "Are you the mastermind behind this?"
The king spoke again, and the parliament hall suddenly fell silent.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for Newman's answer. Every second that passed felt like years of waiting.
"I'm just one of the people who planned this incident." Newman answered truthfully.
"As expected...as expected!" Jarvan III resisted the urge to draw his sword and behead Newman, and continued to ask in a deep voice: "Who else is there besides you?"
"Eldred, Camilla Cartel..."
As soon as Newman said this, Camilla, who could not hold her breath, pointed at him and shouted: "Slander! This is slander! Your Majesty, I have never..."
"Shut the hell up!"
Since taking the throne, Jarvan III has never used foul language in the palace except on the battlefield, which shows how angry he is now.
Camilla was suffocated by the king's aura and opened her mouth wide, but her quibbling words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say a word.
Immediately afterwards, she slumped down on the chair in despair, looking desperately at Clement's position, but was shocked to find that the Minister of Land Resources Management who was supposed to be sitting there had disappeared.
Camilla's eyes hurriedly scanned the crowd and found that he had sneaked to the door, preparing to escape while everyone's attention was focused on Newman.
However, under the constant monitoring of Zhi Nao, he made a wrong calculation.
"Where do you want to go, Lord Omar?"
Li Lin's voice made Clemence feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
The next moment, as Newman confessed his name, Clemence's eyes were fierce, he also took out the dagger he carried with him from his arms, and stabbed Ioni who suddenly appeared in front of him, completely ruining their big event. Asians...
Even if he is wearing a sophisticated armor.
After the piercing sound of metal friction and impact, Clement's tiger's mouth cracked open, scarlet blood oozing out, and the dagger in his hand broke with a short crisp sound and fell to the ground.
"You are really a small bird shaking a big tree." Li Lin sneered.
Without him having to do anything, the fearless pioneer who had been waiting at the door immediately pushed the Minister of Land and Resources Management to the ground and locked him up.
At this sensitive time, even if Clement was really "slandered", just by bringing weapons to the Council of Shields, if Jarvan III wanted to, it would be enough to accuse him of intentionally assassinating the king.
In the hall, Newman had already confessed the names of all the people involved in the rebellion in Xiongdu.
Hearing the name Eldred stand out among the list, the king showed a surprised expression.
How could the Demon Searchers Association dare to commit rebellion without the instruction of his extremely controlling Demon Searcher leader?
Peter, the head of the Crownguard family, ran out of the auditorium in panic, knelt in front of the king and begged for forgiveness. After all, Eldred married into the Crownguard family, even if he was half of the Crownguard family.
Completely different from his attitude towards Camilla, even if Jarvan III was angry, he would not vent his anger on the Crownguard family.
He knew that the Crown Guard had always been loyal to the Lightshield royal family, and the bloodline of the Bouvier family had withered. If even the Crown Guard could not trust him, he would have no one he could trust in the entire Demacia who could defend the royal family and the Demacia family.
In the midst of Barrett's greeting, several other soldiers from the shield formation rushed into the hall and arrested all the attendants of the relevant families present.
Before the effects of the Veritaserum had worn off, Jarvan III took the opportunity to ask Newman the other questions he most wanted to know.
For example, did they collude with Noxus, what happened to the assassin Jamila, who helped Silas break through the Mithril Pavilion dungeon, did they have any other plans, etc.
Newman didn't participate too much, and basically didn't know anything about it. He just expressed his innermost guess: Eldred most likely planned everything, and he was also in collusion with Noxus.
Finally, Jarvan III, who could no longer suppress his anger, roared: "Rebellion, rebellion, everyone has rebelled!"
The king's roar echoed in the council hall, making Tiana, who had just returned from arranging for the fearless vanguard to seize the Zachary family, be stunned.
"Tiana, you came back just in time." Jarvan III's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, "Immediately arrange for people to seize the Cartel and Omar families first, and Barrett will lead people to seize the remaining four families. "
"Yes!" The two of them said in unison and took the order at the same time.
"That's right." Before Tiana went out, the king added: "Send me another fearless vanguard company, and I will personally arrest Eldred!"
I had vision correction surgery today. I'll be able to update more after a couple of days of recovery.
