The court of the Palace of Immortals was so silent that one could hear a pin drop.
Zhong Shan was planning to find out who the beast was. Of course, over the past few days, Zhong Shan had figured out the ability of the beast. It was strong, absolutely strong. Whether it was wisdom, means, or temperament, it was the best among the strategists of the Daikon State.
Therefore, it was obviously impossible to use psychological pressure to mess it up, because it was also very tough. Even so, Zhong Shan still used psychological pressure.
The court fell into silence, and the officials were worried.
"Whoosh!"
Outside the court, another figure appeared. The figure walked into the hall, bringing a rare sound of footsteps to the quiet hall.
The officials looked over and saw that it was the Third Prince of the Daikon State, Zhong Xuan.
Zhong Xuan walked forward step by step.
Yi Yan, Shui Jing, Liu Wushuang, Nangong Sheng, and the others who had seen Zhong Xuan come back from the dead all raised their eyebrows. They seemed to have realized something.
The officials who didn't know about Zhong Xuan's death naturally couldn't see anything unusual.
Zhong Xuan walked to the front step by step.
"I'm late, father, please forgive me!" Zhong Xuan said respectfully.
However, if one listened carefully, they would find that Zhong Xuan's words were a little stiff today.
"Clack!"
Zhong Shan's fingers stopped, and he opened his eyes. He stared at Zhong Xuan for a while and said, "Take your place!"
"Yes!" Zhong Xuan bowed respectfully.
Then, Zhong Xuan turned his head and looked around at the officials. After that, Zhong Xuan stood in his place.
This last inspection seemed to be in everyone's heart.
Those who didn't know Zhong Xuan came back from the dead didn't think much of it, but those who knew Zhong Xuan came back from the dead all raised their eyebrows. All of them had a strange feeling. They even felt as if they were being watched.
Zhong Shan took his place, and the officials bowed respectfully to him. After the court ceremony. Another shout came from outside the court.
"Crown Prince Zhong Tian requests an audience!" The people outside shouted.
"Send him in!" Zhong Shan said lightly.
Outside, Zhong Tian stepped into the main hall.
"Father!" Zhong Tian said respectfully.
"En!" Zhong Shan nodded.
"Tian Zhouzi and the Son Of Heaven have finished talking. Tian Zhouzi requested to stay in the Daikon State for a few days. There are still some things that he hasn't discussed with the Son Of Heaven yet!" Zhong Tian said.
"Tian Zhouzi refuses to leave?" Zhong Shan asked in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Zhong Tian nodded.
"Then you arrange a place for them to stay!" Zhong Shan said indifferently.
"Yes!" Zhong Tian nodded.
In Zhong Shan's opinion, Tian Juzi was determined not to go back to the Heaven Continent now. Instead of letting them hide in the dark, it was better to let them be under the surveillance of the Daikon State.
"Go and arrange it now!" Zhong Shan said.
"Yes!" Zhong Tian nodded and left the main hall.
From the beginning to the end, the ministers in the main hall didn't make a single suggestion. Everything that had happened today was too strange. The ministers always had a bad feeling, so no one said anything. This included Yi Yan, Shui Jing, and the others.
Next, the Court Meeting continued. As usual, there weren't many changes. However, the scene at the beginning of the morning Court Meeting had left a deep impression on the ministers. Until the end of the Court Meeting, many people's emotions were trapped in it.
The ministers who understood Zhong Shan's purpose were all puzzled when the Court Meeting ended. They didn't understand the intention of the Holy King. They thought that there would be a storm in the Court Meeting, but in the end, they went back peacefully.
That night …
In Yi Yan's Mansion … Yi Yan was teaching a few of his juniors.
"There's an assassin!" A housekeeper shouted.
Yi Yan and the others turned their heads to look. A black shadow instantly shot out of Yi Yan's Mansion and was about to escape.
"Let me!"
"Catch the assassin!"
"How dare you, thief!"
… … …
… …
… …
Yi Yan's courtyard was suddenly in an uproar. An expert in Yi Yan's Mansion reached out his hand. A green palm appeared out of thin air and was about to catch the black shadow.
"Stop!" Yi Yan said in a low voice.
Everyone was stunned. What did he mean?
"No need to chase!" Yi Yan shook his head.
"Ah? Grandfather, why? "
"Yes, Father, why not chase?"
"Old Master, he's about to escape!"
… … …
… …
… …
Anxious voices came from the Yi Mansion.
"I said no need to chase, didn't you understand?" Yi Yan glared.
"Huh?" Everyone stopped talking.
"There were no assassins today, nor were there any black-clothed men. You didn't see anything. What you saw will rot in your stomachs. Do you understand?" Yi Yan said in a low voice.
"Yes!"
As the head of the household, Yi Yan's words carried weight in the Yi Mansion.
It was not just Yi Yan's Mansion. Tonight, it was destined that Yi Yan's Mansion was not the only place that was robbed. Black shadows appeared in the manors of all the important officials.
In Shui Jing's Mansion.
"No need to chase!" Shui Jing shook his head.
"Old Master, we don't know what that thief stole. Let's catch him first?" The housekeeper said anxiously.
"I said no need to chase, didn't you hear me?" Shui Jing said coldly.
"Yes!" No one in Shui Jing's Mansion dared to say anything.
"Whoever dares to spread word of what happened today will be punished according to the family rules!" Shui Jing shouted.
"Yes!"
In Nangong Sheng's Mansion.
The black shadow appeared suddenly. Unfortunately, who was Nangong Sheng? He was a formation genius. Without needing Nangong Sheng to do anything, the formation had already captured the black shadow.
Soon, Nangong Sheng reached out and pulled a man in black out of the formation. The person was wrapped in a black robe, but Nangong Sheng did not even lift his mask.
"Old Master, leave this thief to me. I will ask him everything!" A housekeeper said immediately.
"No need, lock him up!" Nangong Sheng shook his head.
"Old Master!"
"Didn't you hear me?" Nangong Sheng said coldly.
"Yes!"
In Liu Wushuang's Mansion.
The black shadow appeared suddenly. Stealing from the residence of the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards? It was as good as seeking death.
Liu Wushuang reached out and restrained the man in black, throwing him into the courtyard.
"Old Master, good move!" A housekeeper said excitedly.
"Sir, I will make this thief tell us everything!" Another person laughed sinisterly.
Liu Wushuang stared at the man in black in front of him with a serious expression. He thought for a while and shook his head. "No need, lock him up!"
"Eh? Old Master, this …! "
"Didn't you hear me?" Liu Wushuang said coldly.
"Yes!"
That night was a sleepless one. Many officials' residences were burglarized. Some were released, while others were captured.
The next day, the memorials from the officials were quickly sent to Zhong Shan's study. At the same time, there were also the captured men in black.
In Zhong Shan's study.
Zhong Shan sat behind the desk. Zhong Tian stood at the side.
A man in black knelt in front of him.
"Holy King, it was like this at that time!" The man in black recounted the events of last night.
"Leave!" Zhong Shan said.
"Yes!" The man in black retreated instantly.
"Fifty people, some let the man in black go, some captured him and returned him. The situation has become complicated! "Zhong Tian frowned.
"It's not complicated. If the beast wants to get close to me, it will naturally find these fifty officials who are close to me." Zhong Shan said in a low voice.
"But it's very difficult to tell?" Zhong Tian didn't understand.
"During the morning assembly yesterday, I purposely put pressure on the officials to give them a reminder. Furthermore, we encountered the black-clothed men at night, so the others would soon realize that I was the one who ordered them to do so. That was why Yi Yan, Shui Jing and the others did not bother about it and only wrote a report. Nan Gong Sheng and the others also did the same to the black-clothed men. They caught them, but no one interrogated them, they just sent them back to me! "
"Then what's the situation now? Father, can you tell who the beast is? "Zhong Tian asked.
"I set a trap, of course I can tell!" Zhong Shan said in a low voice.
"Oh? Who? "
"The biggest suspect, the commander-in-chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, Liu Wushuang!" Zhong Shan said coldly.
"Him? He's a fake? It can't be. Father, Liu Wushuang did the same as the others? Why can't I see any flaws? "Zhong Tian didn't understand.
Shaking his head, Zhong Shan said, "Every man in black they met was carefully selected by me. They all had their own special characteristics. The man in black I chose for Liu Wushuang was from the Wolf Clan! And he deliberately exposed a trace of his wolf aura. "
"Wolf?" Zhong Tian didn't understand.
"During the morning assembly yesterday, I hinted to the officials to be careful. It was also an indirect way to tell them that I was going to make a move. At night, they met the black-clothed men. Although they didn't know immediately, they would soon remember what happened. Cautious, this Liu Wushuang is too cautious. Normally, no matter how cautious a person is, they can't stop their instincts. Liu Wushuang did it perfectly. He did it flawlessly, but he lost his instincts!"
"Uh, what do you mean?" Zhong Tian didn't understand.
"Liu Wushuang saw that the man in black was from the Wolf Clan. How would he react?" Zhong Shan asked.
"Although there was the 'pressure' from father during the morning court, it was impossible for him to know in advance that the man in black was visiting his residence. Only those with extraordinary intelligence could instantly understand that it was father who sent the man in black. Thus, he ignored it. For example, Yi Yan, Shui Jing, and the others. Father said that the exchange beast's intelligence wasn't inferior to Shui Jing's, but Liu Wushuang lost. If he ignored the man in black, he would be able to see that he was a fake. But Liu Wushuang paid attention and even caught him. Is there any doubt?" Zhong Tian said strangely.
"Your analysis is correct. He was smart enough to understand that Liu Wushuang would definitely catch him, so he went to catch him. But I'm talking about the Wolf Clan. That man in black is from the Wolf Clan. How would he react?" Zhong Shan asked again.
"Wolf Clan? The Wolf Clan is the national beast of the Daikon State. When Liu Wushuang caught the man in black, he should have been able to determine that it was father who sent him. He did the right thing! "Zhong Tian said, shaking his head.
"This is because he was too cautious. He was too perfect and gave himself away!" Zhong Shan said, shaking his head.
"Oh?"
"He didn't know that Liu Wushuang had an extremely obscure personality flaw. The Wolf Clan? You see, he has a good relationship with the Wolf Clan. But in his subconsciousness, he is the most capable of killing the Wolf Clan! "Zhong Shan said, shaking his head.
"Ah?" Zhong Tian didn't understand.
"In other words, the real Liu Wushuang actually has a certain degree of schizophrenia! Two personalities! But last night, the other personality of Liu Wushuang didn't show itself. "Zhong Shan said in a deep voice.
"Two personalities? That can't be? "Zhong Tian said in disbelief. Why didn't he know about this?
"Liu Wushuang is in charge of the Imperial Secret Guards. You should know that he is extremely ruthless when dealing with prisoners. His torture is extremely perverted. He takes pleasure in the screams of the prisoners. Do you remember?" Zhong Shan said in a deep voice.
"I know. Liu Wushuang is also known as the strongest demon in prison. The prisoners in the prison are all afraid of him! But this is because of his personality. What does it have to do with schizophrenia? "Zhong Tian didn't understand.
"This is Liu Wushuang's secret. When I first met Liu Wushuang, Liu Wushuang was abandoned by his father and the sect. He was given to the Wolf Clan to be tortured for three years. Although three years later, his willpower became firm and he subdued a young master of the Wolf Clan, three years of torture created this' strongest demon 'with a sick mentality. When facing the Wolf Clan, he will show his second personality. Although it will only appear for a moment, a moment is enough. "Zhong Shan shook his head.
"When Liu Wushuang captured the Wolf Clan's black-clothed man, his second personality didn't appear. He didn't subconsciously attack first and then consider the gains and losses?" Zhong Tian took a deep breath and said.
Zhong Shan nodded.
At this moment, Zhong Tian didn't know how to describe his current feelings. Two personalities? Such a subtle thought was discovered by his father?
