lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Demon King Butler!
Above the magnificent court hall, the emperor is dignified and solemn, sitting firmly on the dragon chair, a pair of dazzling and cold eyes, faintly glanced down.
The leaders of the eight great families, such as Zhuo Fan and Huang Pu Tianyuan, are all on the left; Zhuge Changfeng and Dugu Zhantian and other important imperial officials are on the right with Manchu civil and military forces. In the middle, there is a display. The body is undoubtedly the high priest Yun Xuanji.
Beside it, there is a delicate body kneeling, weeping, but it is sacrificed to the granddaughter, the saint Yunshuang.
Looking at this miserable scene, everyone from the eight schools shook their heads and sighed. The emperor had a panoramic view of everyone, and said with majesty, angrily: "Huh, dare to act on the high priest of Tianyu, it is lawless and a provocation to the empire. Everyone in the court nowadays is not a high-ranking official or a celebrity. Distinguished families are all people with hands and eyes open to the sky. Now that the high priest is dead, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the old minister, although the high priest is a simple one, and his life is dull, and the sacrificial mansion is not guarded by many guards, he is after all a powerhouse at the Profound Sky Peak. If you want to harm him, you may be able to do it. , Must be the work of a powerful person. Especially, being able to take him away and tortured silently, and then send him back. Obviously, this person is so powerful that he is a noble family at the peak of the empire!"
As soon as the emperor's voice fell, Dugu Zhantian stepped forward and bowed to report, but with cold eyes, he glanced at the people on the left from time to time.
Leng Wuchang glanced at him, snorted, and said coldly: "The old Marshal Dugu said so obscurely, it is nothing more than alluding to the fact that this matter is related to our imperial eight clans. But, have you forgotten , Among the strongest forces in Tianyu, in addition to our eight, there are also your four pillars. Especially...the top two..."
"What did you say?"
The pupils stared unconsciously, and Dugu Zhantian roared: "Leng Wuchang, are you suspicious of the old man? Hmph, the old man has always been upright and upright, standing upright, and the high priest has known him before. Well, how could the old man do such a brutal thing that is not as good as a pig and a dog?"
Leng Wuchang shook his head with a smile, and Leng Wuchang lightly shook the feather fan, faintly said: "The old marshal is not going to be angry, I am not targeting you intentionally. I just want you to expand the scope of the investigation, not just limit us. , Let the real murderer run away and get away with it!"
"Hmph, in short, the matter of the high priest has nothing to do with the old man. The old man guarantees his reputation as a lone army. As for who the murderer is, I know in my heart that the old man will pick him out!" Dugu Zhan snorted, proudly. He raised his head.
Leng Wuchang was noncommittal, shaking his head and letting out a laugh, but he was extremely disdainful.
This old man is a good player in the battle, but when it comes to fighting for power, he has a big head. How can anyone who dares to kill the high priest be found out by him?
Just taking this event as an opportunity to involve so many forces and gather together, but it has the potential to break the current deadlock. It seems that all of this has a pair of invisible hands behind it, which makes people faintly disturbed.
Thinking of this, Leng Wuchang frowned and looked at Zhuo Fan not far away.
However, Zhuo Fan's complexion was still calm, and he didn't care at all, as if he was already ready.
The emperor quietly watched the reactions of everyone present, and faintly said: "The case of the high priest is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people, but it should not be suspected that there will be nobles in the place. Then... saint, I come. I ask you, who was the last person the high priest saw?"
"Uh..."
Unable to stop, Yunshuang thought a little, raised his eyes and glanced at Zhuo Fan. Seeing him nodding slightly, he honestly said: "Your Majesty Qi, it is the Luo family's housekeeper, Zhuo Fan!"
His!
Unconsciously, I took a breath, everyone looked in Zhuo Fan's direction together, their eyes filled with surprise.
His Majesty, the world’s number one steward, who has just been ordained, has been involved in the death of the sacrifice so quickly, and as Dugu Zhantian just said, the sacrifice was made by a master, Zhuo Fan can do it!
Could it be that... this trouble-making seedling really made a lot of trouble in the imperial capital?
Everyone has heard of Zhuo Fan’s rumors. It’s really wherever you go, wherever you make trouble, you are not afraid of the sky and the earth. Whenever there is something wrong, see who kills the devil.
Could it be that he had a quarrel with the high priest and slammed the killer?
As soon as I thought of this, everyone seemed to be completely convinced of this. It's just that this demon king is not good at killing anyone. Killing the high priest is equivalent to being an enemy of the entire empire. It's really seeking his own way.
For a time, people looked at Zhuo Fan’s eyes and sighed again and again...
The emperor looked towards Zhuo Fan and said coldly: "Zhuo Fan, is that you?"
"What is me?"
When he raised his brows, Zhuo Fan didn't care at all, and he laughed: "If your Majesty says, the last person to be seen by the high priest, um...probably it is me. But if you say, the high priest will be the last to see If the one who arrives, or the one who killed the high priest, it is definitely not me!"
"Smooth tune, how do you prove yourself?" The emperor said coldly with a flick of his eyelids.
With a wicked smile, Zhuo Fan shrugged and faintly said: "Is that obvious? I have more witnesses. The high priest and I hit it off. Before we left, he personally sent me away and let Shuang Shuang. The girl came to me to stay for a while. Therefore, when I left the sacrificial mansion, I walked with girl Shuang’er. She was by my side throughout the whole process and counted as my first witness. Later, she became the second prince. We tied up, and then asked Ms. Shuanger if he has an emperor..."
"It's okay, it's okay, I believe it's none of your business!"
He hurriedly waved his hand. Before Zhuo Fan could finish speaking, the emperor had already stopped, gritted his teeth severely, and bitterly hated him in his heart.
Zhuo Fan is obviously taking the second prince's matter to bet on his own lips, so that he, the emperor, does not trouble him, otherwise he will be more troublesome.
Imagine that your second son asked the saint to see the emperor's appearance, always thinking about usurping the throne. What is it like? Moreover, with Zhuo Fan's cunning, maybe his son was also involved, and the royal family was completely drawn into this muddy water. Even if it lost the initiative, it couldn't be washed away.
Now in the emperor's heart, he really can't wait to slap his two boys, and it will really mess with Lao Tzu at the critical moment!
Staring at Zhuo Fan fiercely for a long time, the emperor smiled coldly and nodded slightly: "Steward Zhuo is wise and brave, upright and upright, shouldn't do such nasty things."
Zhuo Fan nodded and smiled freely, his face cheerfully calm, Zhuge Changfeng and Leng Wu often said this, but secretly laughed.
In fact, they already knew about the second prince, but it was hard to explain. However, Zhuo Fan, as the party concerned, did not have so much scruples. Instead, he grabbed the emperor's weakness and grasped the initiative.
The emperor, it is already difficult to bring the Luo family in...
"However, Zhuo Fan, when you go, are there anyone else in the Sacrifice Mansion?" Since the Luo family can't move for a while, engage the emperor's gate, the emperor's eyes are slightly narrowed, and his energy is surging.
Zhuo Fan nodded clearly, and couldn't keep it from knowing it, and said: "Of course, Emperor Pu Tianyuan and Mr. Leng, the masters of the emperor gate, are visiting there, and it seems that several people are still arguing!"
The brows trembled unconsciously, Huang Pu Tianyuan and Leng Wuchang looked at each other, their expressions sinking instantly.
They have a clear conscience, but they are afraid that Zhuo Fan and the emperor will use this to join forces and make a fuss. The emperor also brightened his eyes and nodded secretly, this kid finally said something human.
However, he didn’t wait for him to drank it out in front of Huangpu Tianyuan and the others, but Zhuo Fan said quietly: "But after they quarreled, they were about to leave. They went out before they met Me, and then I had another fight with them..."
"These are not important anymore!" The emperor waved his hand and sneered.
However, Zhuge Changfeng rolled his eyes, but smiled secretly, stood up suddenly, raised his hand and said: "No, your majesty, this is very important, the suspicion of the emperor can also be eliminated!"
"Why..." The emperor's body shook unconsciously with a flick of his brows!
Zhuge Changfeng smiled freely: "Your Majesty, please think about it. At that time, the two masters of the Emperor Pu Sect were in a rage, and they did not know someone outside. It was the best time to attack the high priest. If you even this If you don’t do anything at all, it can only prove that they really never thought of killing the high priest, so their suspicion can be eliminated!"
"It's reasonable!" Zhuo Fan raised his brows and nodded slightly. Like a okay person, his face was innocent.
Zhuge Changfeng glanced at Zhuo Fan deeply and laughed blankly.
The emperor's brows jumped with anger, and his face turned slightly green.
After that, the emperor continued to investigate one by one, but he couldn't find any clues. In the end, he couldn't help but let everyone stand by in the mansion without leaving the city, and then just dispersed.
When he arrived out of the city, Zhuo Fan was walking in front of him at ease. Leng Wuchang left Huangpu Tianyuan and immediately speeded up his pace to catch up. He came to him and said with a fist slightly: "Steward Zhuo, although we are the enemy , But I really thanked you just now!"
Understanding the meaning of his words, Zhuo Fan grinned and said non-committal: "Now we are both enemies and we have to coexist. What I did just now was not for you!"
"I understand this, but I have to thank Steward Zhuo for his assistance!"
"Hahaha... When did the two have such a good personal relationship?"
However, before Leng Wuchang paid his respects again, a hearty laugh suddenly sounded in the ears of the two of them. Turning around, it was Zhuge Changfeng.
"Oh, it turned out to be Prime Minister Zhuge, I also thanked the Prime Minister for his help."
"Where is the introduction of the steward of Zhuo Da, good introduction!" Slowly waved his hand, Zhuge Changfeng smiled and said: "When the steward of Zhuo spoke about the sacrificial mansion just now, I heard that he intends to help you. The emperor’s gate escaped, which is considered to be a help to the Luo family. Otherwise, your majesty’s wishful thinking may start."
"Yes, the emperor took the death of the high priest as an opportunity to recruit all the families. It was nothing more than finding someone to manage the Luo Family and the Emperor's Gate. It is best to run the two together, although the two are powerful, But when the matter of killing the high priest was confirmed, the emperor could use all the forces in the court to wipe out the two families together. The two were caught flat-footed and the entire army was annihilated."
With his eyes narrowed, Zhuo Fan said coldly, "Even if my Luo family had already escaped, but as long as the emperor's gate was killed and sacrificed, the emperor could still let my Luo family be responsible for destroying the emperor's gate and fight for it. Both lose and lose. At that time, the emperor gave me the title of the world's No. 1 steward, but it is really useful. After all, you can't just bear the name and not serve the court?"
"Hahaha... Butler Zhuo is really insightful, the world is in great shape, he is clear at a glance, I admire him..." Zhuge Changfeng couldn't help but clasp his fists and praised sincerely.
Leng Wuchang also nodded and sighed: "With my three talents, if we can join hands and be truly invincible, then the emperor can't help us at all, it's a pity..."
"It's nothing to be a pity, Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second. If there is no opponent in the world, wouldn't it be boring?" Zhuo Fan raised his eyebrows and chuckled.
After Zhuge Changfeng and Leng Wuchang listened to them, they laughed out loud, nodding their heads again and again, and felt a sense of hatred when they met each other.
Although the three of them have their own interests, they are still enemies. But the heart of admiration for each other spontaneously arises, especially the mutual cooperation between the courts and the hall, which is seamless, and it makes them feel comfortable for a while.
In the whole world, how many people can find someone who can cooperate with him so closely?
"By the way, you said...who was the murderer of the high priest?" Zhuge Changfeng said suddenly, holding his beard lightly.
There was a flash of light in the eyes, and Zhuo Fan and Leng Wuchang laughed nonchalantly.
"Does that need to be said? Ever since I heard the emperor ask me who else is there after I arrived at the sacrificial mansion, everything has become clear. This imperial capital has always been a royal territory..." Squinting, Zhuo Fan sighed.
When Zhuge Changfeng heard it, they nodded clearly, and their hearts were like Ming Jing'er...
