However, halfway through the meal, everyone heard a tiger's roar. Because it came too suddenly, everyone was startled at first. Then, someone shouted, "Tiger —" and the scene immediately became restless.
Tigers were no joke. Even if they hadn't seen one before, they definitely knew how ferocious tigers were. As the saying goes, one's face would turn pale at the mention of a tiger. Fear was unforgettable. Moreover, listening to the roar, it seemed to be very close. Who wouldn't panic? Moreover, it was said that there was a Rare Beast Garden in this manor. There were countless rare and exotic beasts in it. Perhaps this tiger was one of them … The more they thought about it, the more panicked they became. They also felt that the tiger's roar was getting closer and closer.
Li Hongyuan put down his chopsticks. Eunuch Mu immediately handed him a wet towel. He took it and then slowly wiped his mouth. Then, he changed to another towel to wipe his hands. He looked unmoved as if he didn't hear anything. After wiping his hands, he threw the towel back.
Seeing him like this, the other masters at the same table also restrained themselves and didn't move. It was too embarrassing to show fear.
Imperial Bodyguard Qian rushed over. Obviously, he came because of the tiger.
"What's the matter?" Li Hongyuan asked faintly.
"Master, two tigers in the Rare Beast Garden ran out. The guards there couldn't stop them and ran to the horse farm. The tigers hurt a few people. Now, they are trying to drive the tigers back."
"If they don't listen, just kill them. Why waste so much effort?"
It was obviously a very ferocious thing, but in his mouth, it was so understated. It was like pinching an ant to death.
"Yes."
After Imperial Bodyguard Qian left, Li Hongyuan poured another cup of wine. "It's just a small matter. I just don't know who did it. It's so clumsy. Could it be that someone thinks that killing a few people can affect this prince? Ha! "
When the few people present heard this, they did not respond. However, they all had different thoughts. How should they put it? They were not only worried that if they responded, the fire would burn them. When facing Li Hongyuan, apart from the Fifth Prince, there was probably no one who did not think of the problem of "killing him." Especially in the current situation, it could be said that he was blocking the path of too many people.
Now that such a thing had happened, they were all suspicious of each other. Who was the culprit? Although Li Hongyuan would not be able to completely suppress the death of a few people, if the people who died were more important, then even His Majesty would have to deal with it. After all, there was no difference between nobility and lowliness. How could the final result be the same when a few commoners died and a few high-ranking officials and nobles died?
For the former, it was not impossible for Le Chengdi to suppress it. However, for the latter, the difficulty was too great.
Therefore, if the appearance of the tiger at the horse farm was not an accident but man-made, then it was obvious that they did not feel that this plan was clumsy. Or, even if it did not succeed, as long as the tail was cleaned up, it did not matter. If the first time did not succeed, then the second time, if the second time did not succeed, then the third time. If the Precious Beasts Garden did not succeed, then the horse farm did. If the horse farm did not succeed, then the manor did. There was a saying that went, "There are thieves for a thousand days, there are no thieves for a thousand days." Jin Qinwang only had that little amount of manpower. If he could really make it watertight, then there would be a problem. As long as it was not like an iron bucket, then there would be a flaw.
In the beginning, there was no need to think about his name. It could be done in a roundabout way. As long as His Majesty's favor towards him was weakened, it would be even better if His Majesty disliked him. After that, it would be much easier.
Therefore, they did not think that under this kind of condition, some people had strangely reached an agreement in their hearts.
With regards to their thoughts, Li Hongyuan did not know. However, even if he knew, he would not care. His current attitude was that he would not take the initiative to expose anything. However, if some people were to sense it, then he would not care at all.
Moreover, this time's horse race was such a big spectacle. It was to give some people a chance. If nothing really happened, then it would be disappointing. It was just that his own wife was kind-hearted and would not involve innocent people. After all, the open and covert struggles between these people could easily take someone's life. Therefore, the horse farm and the people who came and went were strictly guarded. There must not be any slip-ups. If there was a problem with the horse and it went crazy in the competition, the probability of someone losing their life was too high. Li Hongyuan felt that it was a pity that he was not able to make use of this point.
It was just that this idea of using the Precious Beasts Garden …
Li Hongyuan's eyes darkened and he finished the wine in his hand in one gulp.
Compared to Li Hongyuan's calmness, Jingwan was not so calm. It was not because she was afraid, but because the tiger had hurt someone. One must know that the animals in the Precious Beasts Garden were all wild. Their bestial nature and wildness, their lethality was absolutely terrifying.
In the absence of anesthetics, the tiger had hurt someone and could not be brought back. Li Hongyuan gave the order to kill, and Jingwan could only remain silent. However, the matter did not end there.
Just as Jingwan was quietly waiting for the result, a servant hurried over. Even if the order to kill was given, someone still died. Moreover, this person was not a servant, but a son of an aristocratic family.
Jingwan almost cursed. If this matter was not caused by someone, she would write the name backwards.
