"You, you, you dare!" Ma Zhuiri's face turned red as he glared.
The courtiers looked at the quarreling duo. From the current situation, it seemed that this Zhong Shan was truly lawless. He dared to challenge the laws of the Heavenly Empire? Was he tired of living?
But on the other hand, the courtiers were also interested. Judging from Zhong Shan's previous achievements, this person was extremely meticulous. How could he make such a low-level mistake?
"Whether I'm daring or not, wait until I report it to the Emperor!" Zhong Shan said coldly to Ma Zhuiri.
Turning his head, Zhong Shan once again looked at the Ancient God's passageway, "Reporting to Your Majesty, when Operation Heavenbreaker was launched, I borrowed five hundred million high-grade spirit stones from Your Majesty to carry out Operation Heavenbreaker. Your Majesty generously lent me six hundred million high-grade spirit stones and requested that I return one and a half billion high-grade spirit stones. When operating the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty's battlefield, tens of billions of spirit stones were plundered in the beginning, but later on, most of them were used to purchase Sumeru Stones to carry on Operation Heavenbreaker. Thus, in the end, only one and a half billion high-grade spirit stones were left. I took one hundred million as the army's pay and provisions, and the remaining one and a half billion were escorted here by several personal guards. This is the Imperial Court's money, and Zhong Shan did not dare to act rashly. He was very careful and only waited to return it to the Imperial Court. That day, Lord Ma led a group of experts straight to our camp. At that time, he was unwilling to reveal his identity and charged straight at the personal guards transporting spirit stones. In order to ensure that the Imperial Court's wealth was not damaged and that the personal guards transporting spirit stones were not captured, I ordered ten thousand arrows to shoot down the intruders. "
500 million? 600 million? Tens of billions? 1.6 billion? The courtiers sighed when they heard this. Their salaries were calculated in thousands, but Zhong Shan had been talking for half a day, and the units of measurement were all in hundreds of millions. No wonder he was so nervous and no wonder Ma Zhuiri wanted to 'rob'.
"You're slandering me. When did I want to rob spirit stones?" Ma Zhuiri said angrily.
"But the direction you were charging in was where our spirit stones were. Zhong Shan protected the Imperial Court's wealth and naturally killed all intruders. I gave Lord Ma a small lesson, but Lord Ma did not show any gratitude! Instead, you added to my crime? "Zhong Shan glared.
"I'm an official of the imperial court. How could I do such a thing?" Ma Zhuiri said angrily.
Ma Zhuiri was tricked by Zhong Shan. If Ma Zhuiri was a sensible person, he would not have brought up the topic of spiritual stones. He would have brought up Ada, the imperial criminal. But Ma Zhuiri was confused! With the intention of clearing his name, he stubbornly refused to let go of the spirit stones. But the more he washed, the deeper he sank.
"It's precisely because he's an official of the imperial court that he's even more terrifying, despicable, and hateful if he's a Tribulation Spirit Stone. Naturally, Zhong Shan killed him without hesitation. Never compromise! "Zhong Shan stared coldly at Ma Zhuiri.
Ma Zhuiri was sad! Now, he couldn't explain himself.
After busying himself for half a day, Zhong Shan's act of covering up a criminal and murdering an official of the imperial court was met with praise.
"Horse Chasing Sun, return to your position!" His Majesty said.
"Yes!" Ma Zhuiri immediately responded and stood aside, trembling with fear.
"1.5 billion high-grade spirit stones? Good! "The Ancient Divine Ability nodded.
"Reporting to Your Majesty! This subject has something to report! "Zhong Shan suddenly stepped forward and said.
"Speak!" The Ancient Divine Ability said.
"This subject is willing to use all of this subject's military merits on the frontlines as collateral to Your Majesty in exchange for a chance to speak for the dead and redress the grievances of the living." Zhong Shan said sincerely.
"Oh?" The Ancient Divine Ability looked at Zhong Shan.
As for the courtiers, they all turned to look at Zhong Shan. Using military merits as collateral? The dead speak for the living?
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this subject has just returned and heard some news that Princess Yingcheng was unfortunately killed. This subject is deeply saddened and the spearhead is pointed at Princess Qian You. There are witnesses and material evidence, and there is nothing wrong with that. However, this subject knows the princess's character, and Your Majesty also knows the princess's character. The princess would never do such a thing. However, the truth has already happened. The culprit has been caught, and the princess has no way to defend herself. She is imprisoned in the princess's residence and her crime is about to be confirmed. However, is this the truth? Sometimes, what you see with your own eyes may not be the truth. Zhong Shan is slow-witted, and I am willing to use all of my military merits to guarantee the princess's innocence. Your Majesty, please give this subject a chance to thoroughly investigate this matter, give Princess Qian You a chance to defend herself, and give Princess Yingcheng a chance to find the culprit, "Zhong Shan said.
After Zhong Shan finished speaking, the subjects were once again in an uproar. The matter of Princess Qian You had become a taboo recently. No one dared to ask or mention it. If they did, they would anger the Emperor and the imperial family. No one dared to speak of it.
Zhong Shan was actually willing to use all of his military merits in exchange for a chance to thoroughly investigate?
At the side, Heaven's Equal glared angrily. The Great Xuan King frowned slightly. The Righteous King's expression remained the same.
"Is it worth it?" The Ancient Mystique asked indifferently.
"This subject owes the princess a favor. Back then, when the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty was being hunted by King Julu, you even sacrificed yourself to save Zhong Shan. Without the princess, Zhong Shan wouldn't be standing here today." Zhong Shan didn't answer the question.
Although he didn't answer the question, it showed Zhong Shan's determination even more.
All the subjects looked at the Emperor. This was because someone had mentioned it before, but the Emperor would only glare angrily each time. Since then, no one dared to mention it again.
How would the Emperor react?
Zhong Shan looked at the Emperor, Heaven's Equal looked at the Emperor, Huan Tulong looked at the Emperor, and the two crown princes looked at the Emperor.
"Alright! I'll give you a chance. Pledge your military merits. For a month, I'll lend you the Saint Sword and order you to be an imperial envoy. Cooperate with the Ministry of Justice to investigate this case. A month later, the Archaic Sacred Hall will give me an answer! "
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhong Shan immediately saluted.
"May the Emperor live for ten thousand years!" All the subjects immediately saluted at the same time.
Although the Ancient Mystique only gave one order, this order overturned the previous one. Thus, the entire court was solemn, shocked, and respectful!
At this moment, a eunuch carried a tray with a dark purple sword to Zhong Shan. The sword was wrapped in a scabbard. The scabbard was incomparably luxurious, but the sword hilt was extremely ordinary.
The Saint Sword, the Emperor's sword! A ninth-grade treasure!
Zhong Shan respectfully received it! Holding it in his hand, it looked ordinary, but Zhong Shan knew how powerful it was, and he also knew what it represented. An imperial envoy! In the Archaic Sacred Capital, other than the Emperor's residence, there were no obstructions anywhere!
"Court is dismissed!" The Emperor said.
"Court is dismissed!" The eunuch on the side screamed.
"May the Emperor live for ten thousand years!" The subjects saluted.
The Emperor stood up and disappeared in front of everyone.
At this time, the subjects began to leave the Archaic Sacred Palace. No one spoke much to Zhong Shan. The two princes and Huan Tulong didn't speak much. Only Heaven's Marquis waited until the end.
"Zhong Shan!" Heaven's Marquis stared at Zhong Shan and said.
"Heaven's Marquis? Do you have something to tell me? "Zhong Shan asked.
"I know you want to avenge Qianyou, but Qianyou killed my sister. The grudge of my sister's death is irreconcilable! You better not get involved in this or you'll have to bear the consequences! "Heaven's Marquis stared at Zhong Shan.
Zhong Shan raised the holy sword and said, "Heaven's Marquis, you can threaten me or find someone to threaten me, but you have to remember that my appointment was made by the Emperor. You can remain silent, but I will record every word you say. It will be used as evidence in court in the future!"
"You …" Heaven's Marquis glared.
"Hmph!" Zhong Shan ignored Heaven's Marquis and turned to walk out of the Archaic Sacred Palace.
The Heaven's Equal Marquis should have been furious. However, when Zhong Shan stepped out of the Immemorial Sacred Hall, the corners of his mouth curled into a mocking smile.
At the foot of the Archaic Mountain, outside the imperial city, Fiery Wolf was waiting patiently.
"Commander!" Fiery immediately called out.
"Hold on to it. Stay by my side during this period of time. Be careful of any intruders at all times. This is a holy sword. If anyone dares to assassinate you, kill them all the same." Zhong Shan put the holy sword in Chihuo's hand and said.
"Yes!" Fiery Wolf immediately replied and looked at the holy sword in his hand curiously.
The holy sword was a ninth-grade magic treasure! It was Fiery Wolf's first time holding such a high-grade thing. He was curious.
"Let's go to Princess Qian You's residence!" Zhong Shan said.
"Yes!" Fiery Wolf immediately replied.
Then, the two of them flew towards Princess Qian You's residence.
At this moment, in a restaurant near the Imperial Palace, a conversation from the Imperial Court could be heard.
Dongfang Marquis Zhong Shan. This name was quickly remembered by countless people and was deeply imprinted in their minds. It was printed again and again.
The top scholar of the Daluo Heaven Empire? Not many people remembered. No one paid much attention to who the commander of the army who was robbed a few days ago was. At most, he was considered a joke.
However, at this moment, Zhong Shan made people seriously remember him. Moreover, they kept digging into this person's legend. It was not an ordinary legend, but a legend.
With the wisdom of a single person, he destroyed two great imperial empires in fifteen years? This, this was impossible?
What, with an article, he attracted the lightning of the heavens and the earth? Impossible.
What, 1.5 billion Spirit Stones? Tens of billions of Spirit Stones, how could he have so many Spirit Stones? If I have them, then I don't have to do anything in the future. I just have to cultivate. I can also seduce many Dao companions to cultivate together.
The East Sea Dragon Palace expelled the Dragon Race to fight for it? No way!
What? What was the Heavenly Collapse Plan? Heavenly Collapse? Heavenly Collapse? Heavenly Collapse? Heavenly Collapse? What was that?
Feng Shui Formation? Reincarnation Hall of the Nether Palace? What was that?
He actually ignored the great merit of being conferred a duke and promoted to a third-grade assistant minister? Just to be a constable for a month? Was his head kicked by a donkey? Was this for real?
Zhong Shan's story began to slowly spread in the Immemorial Sacred Capital.
This was just the beginning, just a tip. Next, the people would definitely 'find' evidence of Zhong Shan's legends. It was definitely not fabricated!
Under the Darong Chamber of Commerce, the Yunlai Inn officially began to promote Zhong Shan, building momentum for Zhong Shan, creating the most legendary momentum for Zhong Shan!
Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, and Zhong Shan himself came to Princess Qian You's residence with Zhihuo! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
