On the Grand Hall of the court, the emperor was dignified and solemn. He sat on a dragon chair. His eyes were cold and his eyes were cool. He glanced down.
The leaders of Zhuo fan, Huangpu Tianyuan and other eight aristocratic families were all on the left; Zhuge Changfeng and Dugu zhantian, the important officials of the Empire, were arranged on the right with the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. In the middle, a corpse was displayed, which was undoubtedly the high priest Yun Xuanji.
Next to it, there is a delicate body kneeling and weeping, but it is a sacrifice to the granddaughter, the holy daughter yunshuang.
Looking at this miserable scene, all the eight families shook their heads and sighed. Man Chao's civil and military officers also pointed and sighed. The emperor looked at all the people and said in a dignified voice: "hum, it's lawless and provocative to the Empire to dare to attack the high priest of Tianyu. Today, all of you in the court are either dignitaries or celebrities. They are all people who know everything. What do you think of the death of the high priest? "
"Your Majesty, according to the old minister's opinion, although the high priest lived in seclusion and lived a dull life, and there were not many guards guarding the sacrificial palace, he was, after all, a strong man at the top of Tianxuan. If you want to harm him, I'm afraid that ordinary people can do it. It must be the strong men. In particular, to be able to take him away, torture him, and send him back quietly, it is obvious that he is a very powerful man, and he is a famous family at the top of the Empire! "
As soon as the emperor's voice fell, Dugu zhantian stood up and bowed down to report. However, his cold eyes glanced at those people on the left from time to time.
Leng Wuchang looked at him, snorted, and said coldly: "marshal Dugu's words are so obscure, but they are alluding to the fact that it is related to the eight Royal clans. However, do you forget that among the most powerful forces in Tianyu, besides our eight families, there are also four pillars of you. Especially The top two... "
"What do you say?"
As soon as his eyes were staring, Dugu zhantian roared: "lengwuchang, are you doubting me? Hum, I've always been aboveboard, upright and upright. The high priest used to know me well. How could I do such a thing as a pig or a dog? "
Smiling and shaking his head, lengwuchang gently shakes the feather fan and makes a faint voice: "don't be angry, I didn't mean to target you. I just want you to broaden the scope of your investigation, not just on us, and let the real murderer run away and get away with justice! "
"Hum, in a word, the high priest has nothing to do with me. I am guaranteed by the reputation of Dugu army. As for who is the murderer, I know in my heart that I will find him out! " Dugu zhantian snorted angrily and held his head high.
Cold impermanence does not agree, shake his head and laugh out loud, but is extremely disdainful.
The old man is good at fighting in battle, but when it comes to political struggle, he has a big head. How can anyone who dares to kill the high priest be found out by him?
However, taking this as an opportunity to involve so many forces and gather together is a great potential to break through the current deadlock. As if all this, there is a pair of invisible hands behind the manipulation, making people uneasy.
Thinking of this, Leng Wuchang frowns and looks at Zhuo fan not far away.
However, Zhuo fan is still indifferent, and seems to be ready.
The emperor quietly looked at the reaction of all the people present and made a faint voice: "the case of the high priest is really beyond the ordinary people's ability, but we can't doubt all the noble people present. So Holy daughter, I come to ask you, who was the last person the high priest saw? "
"Er..."
Yunshuang thought a little. She raised her eyes and glanced at Zhuo fan. Seeing that he nodded slightly, she said honestly, "Your Majesty, it's the housekeeper of the Luo family, Zhuo fan!"
Hiss!
Under the heart does not feel to pour a breath of cool air, all people all together looked to Zhuo fan's direction, the double eye is full of astonishment.
His majesty has just granted the world a short time ago, but he has not yet waited for him to drink out the majesty of Huangpu Tianyuan and others, but Zhuo fan says quietly: "but after a quarrel, they are going to leave. After going out of the door, they come across me, and then I quarrel with them again..."
"It doesn't matter!" The emperor waved and sneered.
However, Zhuge Changfeng turned his eyes, but with a dark smile, he suddenly stood up and said, "no, your majesty, this is very important. The suspicion of the imperial gate can also be eliminated!"
"Why..." The brow trembles, the emperor body does not feel shaken!
However, Zhuge Changfeng said with a smile: "Your Majesty, at that time, the two leaders of Huangpu gate were in a rage, and they did not know that there was someone outside. It was the best time to attack the high priest. If they don't even do it at this time, it can only prove that they really did not want to kill the high priest, so their suspicion can be eliminated! "
"That's right." Zhuo fan eyebrows a pick, slightly nods, with a matter of nothing, the face is innocent color.
Zhuge Changfeng took a deep look at Zhuo fan and was dumbfounded.
However, the emperor was so angry that his eyebrows jumped straight, and his face was slightly livid.
After that, the emperor continued to investigate one by one, but all of them could not find any clues. In the end, they had to let all the people stand by in the mansion and were not allowed to leave the city. Then they were scattered.When he came out of Decheng, Zhuo fan was walking leisurely ahead. Lengwuchang left Huangpu Tianyuan, and immediately quickened his pace to catch up with him. He clasped his fist slightly and said, "chamberlain Zhuo, although we are enemies, we have just really appreciated it!"
Knowing what he meant, Zhuo fan grinned and said, "now we are both enemies and coexisting. What I did just now is not for you!"
"I understand this, but I have to thank housekeeper Zhuo for his assistance."
"Ha ha ha When are you so intimate
However, before Leng Wuchang worships him again, a hearty laugh suddenly rings in their ears. When they turn around, it is Zhuge Changfeng.
"Oh, it's the Prime Minister of Zhuge. Thank you very much for your help."
"No, it's the introduction of housekeeper Zhuo Da. It's good!" Slowly waving his hand, Zhuge Changfeng said with a smile: "just when steward Zhuo opened his mouth to narrate the sacrificial palace, I knew that he intended to help you out of the imperial gate, which is also a help to the Luo family. If not, your Majesty's wishful thinking will begin. "
"Yes, the emperor took the death of the high priest as an opportunity to recruit all the aristocratic families, which was nothing more than to find a way to run the Luo family and the emperor's gate. The best way to do it together is to kill the high priest. The emperor can take advantage of all the forces in the court to wipe out the two families. If the two families are caught off guard, they will be completely destroyed. "
His eyes narrowed slightly, and Zhuo fan coldly explained: "even if our Luo family had already been separated, but as long as the emperor's door was actually killed and sacrificed, the emperor could still let our Luo family be responsible for exterminating the emperor's gate and killing both sides. At that time, the emperor granted me the title of the largest housekeeper in the world, but it was really useful. After all, you can't just wear a name and not serve the court, can you? "
"Ha ha ha Housekeeper Zhuo is really insightful. The general situation of the world is clear at a glance. I admire him... " Zhuge Changfeng could not help embracing his fist and sincerely praised the way.
Leng Wuchang also nodded and sighed: "with the wisdom of the three of us, if we can join hands and really be invincible in the world, the emperor can't do anything about us. It's a pity..."
"It's no pity that there is no first place in literature and no second in martial arts. If there is no opponent in the world, wouldn't it be boring?" Zhuo fan raised his eyebrows and chuckled.
After listening to this, Zhuge Changfeng and Leng Wuchang also laughed and nodded repeatedly. He felt that he hated it too late to meet a bosom friend.
Although the three of them have interests in each other, they are still enemies. However, their admiration for each other came naturally, especially when the court hall cooperated with each other perfectly, which made them feel comfortable for a while.
In the whole world, how many people can find a person who can cooperate with him so intimately?
"By the way, you say Who is the one who killed the high priest With a light hand on his beard, Zhuge Changfeng suddenly said.
With a flash of essence in his eyes, Zhuo fan and Leng Wuchang both laughed irresolubly.
"That's needless to say. Since I heard the emperor ask me who was there after I went to the sacrificial palace, everything was clear. This imperial capital is still the territory of the royal family... " When his eyes narrowed, Zhuo fan sighed.
When Zhuge and Changfeng heard this, they also nodded clearly. In their hearts, they looked like a mirror
