"How would I know? If you ask me, who am I supposed to ask? "
"My mother will definitely ask about the Spring Flower Autumn Moon House. What should I say?"
"Just tell her the truth. You won't be able to hide it from so many people. Just don't say anything about us colluding."
"Go away! Only a ghost would collude with you. "'Huangfu Jun?' Y snorted. Not wanting to keep his mother waiting, she left Miao Yi behind.
After leaving the dungeon, Miao Yi summoned Bao Lian to send her off. He smiled as he watched her leave. When he first met the manager of the Hall of Heroes, Huangfu Duanrong, he could already tell. 'Huangfu Jun? Y was afraid of her mother. That was why … she refused to leave? '
There were also people from the Hall of Heroes waiting for news outside the Palace of Guarding the City. When they saw Huangfu Jun, they immediately asked, "Manager, are you alright?"
"I'm fine!" Y looked around and asked nervously, "Where's my mother? Isn't she here? "
"Manager?" One of the workers was stunned. He asked back, "Is she here?"
'Huangfu Jun?' Y was stunned. Her expression changed as she realized something. She turned to look at the Hall of Heroes, gritting her teeth, "Son of a b * tch!"
She lifted her skirt and was about to go back to settle the score with a certain someone. Unexpectedly, the guards at the bottom of the stairs pointed their weapons at her face and warned, "Manager Huangfu, don't make things difficult for us!"
"…" 'Huangfu Jun?' Y's expression darkened. She finally realized that the Hall of Heroes was not a place anyone could enter. It would be difficult to enter again after coming out. She had fallen for that son of a b * tch's trick!
What made her even angrier was that she was easily fooled by a trick that could only trick a three-year-old. Was she going to fall for that son of a b * tch's trick …
Heavenly Court, Heavenly Palace.
In the distant pavilion shrouded in spiritual mist, the melodious chimes of the golden jade bell could be heard, cleansing the soul.
The Starry Hall controlled the sun, moon, and heaven and earth. It was the center of the Heavenly Court, with a myriad of auspicious auras floating above.
Colorful phoenixes circled above the jade pavilion. Beneath the jade eaves, coiling dragons lay dormant on the tall pillars.
Inside the hall, eight or nine out of ten rare books from ancient times were placed on exquisite shelves. The sun, the moon, and the stars appeared in a dreamy and illusory manner on the dome and on the ground in the hall, repeating the cycle. Amidst the sun, moon, and stars, there was a long table on an ancient platform. Master Qing, dressed in a long robe and a crown, sat behind it, examining a jade disk in his hand.
On the other side, Sima Wentian and Gao Guan stood silently.
"Is that all?" Qing Zhu raised his head and stared at Sima Wentian.
Sima Wentian nodded and said, "That's all for now. An hour ago, I received the latest news from the Hall of Heroes in Heaven's Origin Star. Huangfu Jun? Y, Zhou Ran, Wu Hanshan, and Yu Xu have been released by Niu Youde. They were not killed! "
Qing Zhu's eyes flashed coldly, and he said slowly, "That's not what I'm asking. Gong Lumu? Sole? Qiao He Dark Dream Man Yi Qian Di Yan Yi Kui? Nah? Pan Ke is lazy? Awkwardly cut and write sandalwood? Larva Plaque Ring Sauce Deep Colorful Thumb Charcoal Sheathed Tailor Ci Play
Sima Wentian shook his head and said, "After the assassin was killed by Niu Youde, he was chopped into meat paste by his subordinates. It's difficult to find out who it was. The only clue we have is probably the assassin's remains in Niu Youde's possession. Perhaps we can find some clues."
Qing Zhu raised his head and looked at the Dome of Stars in the sky. "Outside the Guardian Palace, under the watchful eyes of thousands, they dared to openly assassinate the Grand Commander of a region. How bold! Who do you think did it? "
Sima Wentian said, "That's hard to say. There are all kinds of possibilities."
Qing Zhu stared at the sky and said, "Niu Youde just raided a few hundred shops belonging to the nobles and killed their servants. Do you think it's related to someone in the court?"
Sima Wentian said, "It's possible, but it's hard to make a judgment before the truth is known."
Qing Zhu lowered his head again, and his eyes were cold and threatening. "You're the one who's concerned about the movements of the nobles in the court. Have you not noticed anything unusual?"
Sima Wentian cupped his fists. "I haven't received any reports of any unusual movements."
Qing Zhu tilted his head and looked at Gao Guan. "Gao Guan, what do you think of this?"
Gao Guan replied, "I've only just learned of this from Sima Wentian. I'm not sure of the specifics, so I can't make a judgment."
Sima Wentian then said, "Your Majesty, I don't think it's possible that the nobles in the court would do something like this. Could this be a trap set up by Niu Youde himself so that he can escape his predicament of massacring the Sky Street?"
Qing Zhu sneered. "You mean to say that he's purposely looking for trouble for himself, and then looking for a one-colored lotus cultivator to kill him? In the end, he'll offend all the nobles in the court and ruin his own future. Wentian, don't you think this is troublesome? "
"..." Sima Wentian was speechless. He thought to himself, 'If that's what you say, and if you insist on thinking in other directions, and if you insist on thinking that there are others who are suspicious, then I have nothing else to say.'
"Some people said that he had meritorious service, and I praised him for his meritorious service. Some people said that he had worked hard, and I praised him for his hard work. Some people wanted wealth, and I gave it to them. Some people wanted power, and I gave it to them! We hope that they can work together with us to build this everlasting empire. But what did We get in exchange for our benevolence? It's fine if it's rotten and rotten, we can still spend a lot of effort to fix it. But now, I'm afraid that some people don't even care about their bottom line and openly trample on the heavenly laws. Don't they know that they're destroying their own foundation? Don't they know that the heavenly laws protect their own interests? These people are even more despicable than traitors! "
Pa! Qing Zhu slammed the table and stood up. He walked around the table and stood in front of Gao Guan. He placed his hands behind his back and leaned forward slightly. His face was almost in Gao Guan's face. He said word by word: "Right Emissary Gao, if you don't know, then go and investigate! Go and investigate personally. If you really find out that it's related to any of the officials, We don't want to see them in court again, and I don't want to hear those words. Gong Si Palm Mu Ai? Spider Brine Jia Ben Hugs Mei Si Wan Mang? Chao? Throw Dan San Tuan? Throw Wei Wei Qiang? Lang La Bad Trade?
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Gao Guan cupped his hands and asked: "Your Majesty! Do we need to investigate the matter of a few hundred shops being raided? "
"Let the Empress deal with the matters that are under her jurisdiction!"
Heaven Valley Palace, Empress Xiahou Cheng Yu leaned on the railing and admired the beautiful scenery in the garden.
Her personal handmaiden, Er Mei, hurried up the stairs and whispered: "Empress, as expected, His Majesty summoned the Left and Right Emissaries to the Starry Hall. Then, Right Emissary Gao left in a hurry."
"Gao Guan …" Xiahou Cheng Yu thought for a while and sighed: "This Niu Youde is really not afraid of trouble. Why doesn't he learn his lesson? Does he really think he's immortal? Trouble after trouble, and each one is bigger than the last. It's as if he's afraid that His Majesty doesn't know of his great name. He's not afraid of trouble, but I am. Sigh! He clearly has a bright future ahead of him, but he doesn't cherish it. Who would dare to use such a troublemaker? If I had known, I would have let him go. He's just a Golden Lotus cultivator, why would I keep him around? "
Er Mei said: "Now he's become a hot potato. Everyone is trying to avoid him. I'm afraid that even if I gave him away, no one would dare to take him."
"Let's not care about him for now. We'll see what His Majesty has to say." Xiahou Cheng Yu said as he looked around. Then, he transmitted his voice: "Tell the old master that this matter has violated a taboo. His Majesty has asked Gao Guan to intervene in this matter! Tell him to quickly ask his subordinates and see if it's someone in the family who did it. If it's really related to the Xiahou family, then we must settle this matter before Right Emissary Gao does. If it's unrelated, the news of the assassination at Spring Flower House and Autumn Moon Brothel has spread like wildfire. Coincidentally, it's also at this juncture. The Xiahou family's stance and stance must be made clear! "
"Yes!"
"In addition, that new b * tch, relying on her beauty to accompany His Majesty for a few nights, doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. I heard from Concubine Li that she even said that she wanted to give birth to an emperor for His Majesty. Hmph! I heard that the slut's family is doing very well now. Please take care of them, old master. I'd like to see how a criminal's daughter can give birth to His Majesty's Son of Heaven! "
"I'll remember it!"
Qiong Star, Heavenly King's Residence, Three Origins Hall. Behind the long table, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, Kou Lingxu, was resting with his eyes closed.
The three brothers, Kou Zheng, Kou Qin, and Kou Mian, stood with their heads bowed. They didn't know why their father suddenly came to Three Origins Hall and called them over.
Guessing his father's intention, the eldest Kou Zheng tried to ask, "Father, are you here because of the assassination of Niu Youde?"
Kou Tianwang remained silent with his eyes closed. The three brothers looked at each other and kept quiet.
Not long after, the old servant who had been following Kou Tianwang, Old Tang, came. He walked to the side of Kou Tianwang, who was resting with his eyes closed, and said softly, "Master, there's news from the Heavenly Palace. The Left and Right Emissaries entered the Starry Hall, and then Gao Guan left in a hurry."
"That's a taboo!" Kou Tianwang finally opened his eyes and sat up straight. He asked, "The assassination has nothing to do with the Kou family, right?"
The three brothers looked at each other, and the eldest Kou Zheng said, "Father, Niu Youde has always had a good relationship with our family. Although Niu Youde captured one of our people, it was all bark and no bite. The Kou family suffered no loss at all. Is there a need for us to make a move on him?"
Kou Tianwang nodded. "I think so too. The scary thing is that there might be some blind people who want to show their loyalty. It's better to check it out. If there's a situation, it'll be better to stop it in advance. We have to do this before Gao Guan does. That little bastard Gao Guan won't give me any face. It's not worth it to fall for such a small thing."
Kou Zheng said, "As soon as the news broke out, I immediately asked everyone in the residence. Our family really has nothing to do with this matter. As long as it doesn't involve the Kou residence, even if the officials below are related to this incident, it won't be related to the Kou family. Just to be safe, I'll go back and check the entire residence again. "
The second brother, Kou Qin, suddenly said, "Father, do you think this was an assassination arranged by Niu Youde to get rid of trouble?"
The eldest Kou Zheng continued, "That's not very possible. If he really arranged the assassination, there wouldn't be a storage bracelet left behind by the assassin. It'd be the safest if there's no evidence. Now everyone's eyes are on the storage bracelet. Isn't this looking for trouble on purpose? He probably didn't arrange it himself."
