Shangguan Qing was almost choked to death by these words. What did he mean by I have too much influence over them? It was as if I had to go in and collude with them.
Every word was like a knife. He had to suppress the urge to go in and take a look. Shangguan Qing asked with a livid face, "Can I take the body away?"
Gao Guan said indifferently, "Do as you wish with the body. However, the things on his body should not be taken away by the Head Chief. There may be some evidence."
Shangguan Qing shouted, "Take it away!"
Two of his subordinates came to clean up Xiang Zhong's body and followed behind Shangguan Qing.
"Head Chief!" Gao Guan suddenly called out again.
Shangguan Qing stopped and turned back coldly.
Gao Guan sighed, "This is no small matter. I am investigating on His Majesty's orders. I cannot be biased. I have to do what I have to do! I have no personal grudges with the Head Chief. There are some things I hope the Head Chief will not take to heart! "
Shangguan Qing did not know if he listened to him. Anyway, Shangguan Qing turned and left without another word.
Inside the Starry Hall, Qing Zhu put down the jade archive in his hand and sighed, "Xiang Zhong is dead? He has been accompanying His Majesty for many years? "
Shangguan Qing lowered his head and said, "He couldn't stand the torture and committed suicide by hitting the wall in prison!"
Then he quickly walked down to the front of the table and turned around. He knelt down and cried out in pain, "Your Majesty! We can't investigate anymore! At least we can't continue like this! What kind of place is the prison of the Right Supervisory Department? It is a well-known purgatory. The torture in it is unbearable. Few people who go in can come out unscathed. Which one of them did not lose a layer of skin? Your Majesty is aware of Gao Guan's investigation. Without Your Majesty's orders, he is extremely ruthless. How many people have died in his hands? The Shadow Guards are death soldiers. If they are tortured by Gao Guan like this, I'm afraid they can't be used anymore! Your Majesty, if Gao Guan continues to investigate, the Shadow Guards will be crippled. It is better to kill them all and train a new batch. We really can't investigate anymore. At least we can't let Gao Guan investigate anymore! "
Xiang Zhong's death triggered Qing Zhu's lament. He quickly took the opportunity to carry out the investigation.
It wasn't that Qing Zhu hadn't considered this problem before, he muttered, "Don't tell me the shadow guards are going to investigate again?"
Shangguan Qing said, "If Your Majesty is still worried, you can transfer reliable personnel from the Left Supervisory Department and the imperial guards to investigate together. We can't let Gao Guan continue to investigate!"
Qing Zhu hesitated for a while, then suddenly sighed and said, "Permission granted! Shangguan, don't cause any more trouble for me! "
"Yes!" Shangguan Qing kowtowed and choked with sobs, "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty!"
After Shangguan Qing left, Qing Zhu got up and walked into the library. As he flipped through the ancient scrolls, a figure wearing a black cloak stopped behind a bookshelf and transmitted a message to Qing Zhu.
Qing Zhu's brows gradually furrowed, "Does Gao Guan mean that he suspects the Shangguan?"
A slightly fleeting voice said, "The two of them quarreled in public. Gao Guan was just saying it, but it sounds reasonable."
Qing Zhu remained silent …
Inside the HuangFu Family's Merchant House, the attendants of the various regions of the Heroes Guild gathered together.
Huang Fujun? Y sat on the chair. This was the first time she convened a meeting with the attendants of the Heroes Guild since she officially became the manager of the Heroes Guild. Her mother, Huangfu Duanrong, had experience in this area and occasionally gave her some pointers.
At the end of the meeting, the attendants of the various regions either left or stayed. Those who stayed continued to discuss with Huang Fujun. These were the old people under Huangfu Duanrong. After Huangfu Duanrong abdicated, there was no time to replace all the people. At this time, Huangfu Duanrong was helping his daughter to introduce these old people to continue to help his daughter.
After the meeting, when the mother and daughter returned to their own courtyard, they saw that Huangfu Yan's wives, concubines, and children were all there. Wu Ning, who was in the attic, leaned against the window and waved his hands helplessly at the mother and daughter who came in.
The courtyard generally did not allow outsiders to trespass, but these people insisted on coming in. Wu Ning could not stop them, after all, many of them were Huangfu Duanrong's elders.
The mother and daughter were stunned, but they saw Huangfu Yan's wives, concubines, and children took the initiative to step aside and smile at Huang Fujun. Y was not showing goodwill to Huangfu Duanrong, but to Huang Fujun? Y, the one who laughed and shouted, "? Y? Y, "the one who laughed and shouted," Big Sister. "
At this moment, the mother and daughter finally understood. After Huangfu Yan's death, power fell, and these people also lost their power, which was equivalent to losing someone to rely on. Now, Huang Fujun? Y had regained an important position in the family, holding a considerable amount of power in the Huangfu family's wealth. This also meant that he had a considerable say. From today onwards, Huangfu Yan's family members would only follow Huang Fujun? Y would follow Y's lead, and from now on, they would have to rely on Huang Fujun? Y would fight for their interests in order to gain a foothold in the family.
The dignified and beautiful Huang Fujun? Y smiled and nodded left and right, neither servile nor overbearing, and passed through the crowd …
In the loft of Bull King's Manor, Miao Yi leaned on the railing with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance.
Yun Zhiqiu, who had climbed up the stairs, walked up to him and smiled, "What is Your Highness thinking about?"
Miao Yi turned around, his chiseled face already growing a short beard. With his current status, he was no longer suitable to be a young, pretty boy.
His entire temperament had changed quite a bit. His once heroic spirit was now hidden within it. Domineering! Intimidating without being angry!
However, after revealing a faint smile, that tough temperament instantly softened. "I heard they got into an argument again?"
Yun Zhiqiu rolled his eyes at him. "That Nie Wuyan is such a pain in the ass. She was told that she doesn't look like a woman, and then she went to argue with her. She even wanted to drag her out for a duel. Aren't you going to do anything about it?"
Miao Yi laughed heartily. "I don't care! We've agreed that you'll be in charge of the inner residence! "
Yun Zhiqiu said, "Oh! Why didn't you say that when you were sneaking off to have some fun? "
Miao Yi immediately coughed to cover up his embarrassment. "You didn't come all the way here just to say this, did you?"
Yun Zhiqiu placed his hands on the railing and sighed. "Grandmaster Qi Jie is coming to the outside world."
Miao Yi frowned. "He's doing fine in the small world. What's he doing here? Doesn't he know that it's not appropriate for him to show his face here?"
Yun Zhiqiu shook his head. "He heard from Yu Luocha that the Buddha Lord is going to hold a sermon. He couldn't hold himself back and wants to listen to the sermon."
Miao Yi shook his head. "No! Why go looking for trouble? What if something bad happens to him? "
Yun Zhiqiu sighed. "He said that if he could listen to the supreme Buddha's voice, he wouldn't be regretted even if he died. He also wants to find out what's wrong with the Jie School's cultivation technique and pass it down to his descendants. He said that it's his duty to do so! Once he spoke up, Yu Luocha immediately agreed and promised to make the necessary arrangements for him. Now, all that's left is the matter of him coming over from the small world. How am I supposed to stop him? In any case, I'm not in a position to talk to him. If you want to reject him, go ahead and do it yourself. There are some things that I'm not good at being a bad person. "
Miao Yi asked, "Can Yu Luocha really guarantee that he'll be fine?"
Yun Zhiqiu replied, "Based on what Yu Luocha said, he should be fine. There will be many people listening to the sermon, and none of them have seen Grandmaster Qi Jie before. Grandmaster Qi Jie can make some simple changes to his appearance. If he blends into the crowd, no one should be able to recognize him."
"You should confirm with Yu Luocha again. If she can really guarantee that he'll be fine … then so be it. He's Second Bro's master after all. It's not like we can say anything about it." Miao Yi sighed helplessly. There was nothing he could do about someone as stubborn as Grandmaster Qi Jie. It wasn't like he could scold him either.
"Mm!" Yun Zhiqiu nodded, then asked, "Are you really going? It won't be dangerous, will it? "
Miao Yi slapped the railing. "It won't be appropriate if I don't go. The Heavenly Kings are already disrespecting Master Qing by not attending the court assembly. If I don't go to the Lord Buddha's rare prayer assembly, I'll be offending both sides. Master Qing wants to get rid of me. If the Lord Buddha interferes, it will be a little troublesome. Given our current strength, it's not yet time for us to fall out with him. Besides, he allowed us to bring our forces in. If anything happens, with the combined forces of our clans, even if we don't win, the other party won't be able to take us down in a short time. If the Lord Buddha really dares to act recklessly, I can just gather the forces of our clans and lead them into the Buddha Realm through the secret passageway. I'd like to see how he'll deal with this then! Don't worry. The Lord Buddha doesn't want Master Qing to be the sole ruler. There shouldn't be any danger this time. Kou Lingxu and the others were 'asked' by the Lord Buddha to stay once, but didn't they still have to go anyway? "
Yun Zhiqiu whispered, "It's good that you know what you're doing. I just want to remind you that things are different now. Many people are counting on you. Don't do anything rash and hot-blooded anymore!"
"I know, I know!" Miao Yi patted the back of her hand and held it in his own.
Inside the ice cave, Nan Bo sat cross-legged in silence. His expression was unchanging, as though he were a wooden statue.
"We've lost contact with a few more people. The Xiahou Clan's influence is far greater than we imagined. If we let them continue like this, it's only a matter of time before we run out of manpower and become blind. When that happens, we'll lose the financial support of our subordinates. Sooner or later, the people on our side will fall into disarray. They might even learn of our whereabouts sooner or later." Zuo 'er sighed.
The ice and snow on Nan Bo's body suddenly drifted away. Nan Bo slowly stood up and said, "I heard that the Realm of Pure Bliss is going to hold an Dharma Assembly. Let's go take a look."
Zuo 'er smiled bitterly. "The Eight Directions Temple's security for entering the Realm of Pure Bliss is extremely strict. After Senior reappeared, the security was even tighter. I'm afraid Senior won't have the chance to enter."
Nan Bo calmly said, "Cut off contact with our subordinates and preserve our strength here. Go to the Realm of Pure Bliss and start afresh! You don't have to go through the Eight Directions Temple. I know another secret passage to enter and exit the Realm of Pure Bliss! "
Zuo 'er was stunned.' Why didn't you say so earlier? '
Nan Bo had a hard time making this decision. He had always wanted to obtain the Blood Lotus from Miao Yi, which was why he had been so busy here. However, judging from the current situation, the Celestial Court was guarding against him everywhere, not giving him a chance to make a move. Especially with the Xiahou Clan pressuring him, he could sense the danger. It was obviously impossible for him to obtain the Blood Lotus so easily. Although the entrance to the Realm of Pure Bliss was heavily guarded, the inside of the Realm of Pure Bliss was much more relaxed. Everyone believed that he was still within the Celestial Court's territory, so it would be easier for him to develop there. Faced with the possible danger, he had no choice but to temporarily give up on the Blood Lotus. He would hide in the Realm of Pure Bliss and start afresh, choosing a suitable body to refine. Although the success rate was extremely low and it might take a long time, he had no other choice. There was no shortcut if he couldn't obtain the Blood Lotus. He could only take things one step at a time. Presumably, no one would think that he had already hidden in the Realm of Pure Bliss, which was much safer than here.
PS: I would like to trouble everyone to help me destroy this place. I recommend my friend 'Broken Bridge Remnant Snow's' new book, 'Urban Super Medical Sage'. Don't hold back. Remember to announce that Fei Tian is going there to destroy this place. It'll also help us advertise it. We can't let others take advantage of us for nothing.
