"Oh? That's true. Prime Minister Liu cares about the country and the people. It's a blessing for the people of Nanling." Omi Makino glanced at Liu Yong with ulterior motives, his tone full of mockery.
Although Liu Yong was talented, he was an extremely proud person and hated being humiliated by others. However, due to the presence of envoys from various countries and the presence of Emperor Shi Tian, he was so angry that his face turned red, but he still tried hard not to explode. However, he blamed Emperor Shi Tian for the anger he suffered today.
He thought, if it wasn't for Emperor Shi Tian, how could he be slapped in the face like this? Sooner or later, his return will come back, humph!
Omi Makino was very calculating, so he naturally knew that his provocation would lead to such a consequence. However, this was exactly what he intended. He narrowed his fox eyes and looked at Liu Yong, whose face was getting even uglier. His smile deepened.
"Go on." Perhaps Di Shitian thought they were too noisy, so he said another sentence.
"Night watchman, please continue talking." Liu Minsheng kindly reminded him. The night watchman was too nervous and might not even hear what Emperor Shi Tian said. Besides, the king always spoke without a beginning or an end, and most people probably wouldn't understand what he meant even if they heard him.
“Yes, yes, yes.” Upon hearing Liu Minsheng speak, the night watchman immediately turned towards the direction where the voice came from, kowtowed several times, and then continued: “Last night, I… I did… I did see with my own eyes… the murderer flew from the wall… from the wall to the county government office… I know… I know that the murderer killed many people, so… so I have been guarding outside the wall… outside… trying to find out where the murderer lives… either… or to provide some clues for the king and… and all the adults in investigating the case… but… but after the murderer went in… he never came out again…”
"Are you sure he hasn't come out again?" This time it was Omi Makino who asked the question. He was also very curious about the murderer. After all, the victims this time also included civilians from their country. If the murderer could be caught as soon as possible, it would also give an explanation to the families of the victims and calm the people's hearts as soon as possible.
"Yes. Yes, yes... I am very sure that the murderer did not come out again. Because I stayed there until the early morning and saw the patrolling yamen runners. I reported the incident to the yamen runners and then left."
"Reporting to the king, reporting to all the gentlemen. The bailiff who came to report did say so, and after they learned of this situation, they immediately sent people to guard around the county government office. People entering and leaving the county government office were strictly checked. If the murderer is really hiding in the county government office, he must not have left yet." Liu Minsheng stepped forward, explained the ins and outs of the matter, and then quietly waited for Emperor Shi Tian's decision.
"Oh? The murderer is still in the county government office? It seems that this murderer is quite bold. He knew that our iron-blooded king was in the county government office, but he still dared to enter the county government office and fall into the trap. It seems that this murderer's skills are not inferior to those of King Tianze."
The implication is obvious.
In this Tianhe Continent, there are only a handful of people who can be compared with Emperor Shitian. The leader of Cangsheng Sect is Jun Liufeng, and the other one should be "Old Ghost". But Jun Liufeng and Old Ghost are mortal enemies of Emperor Shitian. Not to mention living in the same room, it is estimated that they live in the same space and are trying every means to kill each other. Therefore, if the murderer is really one of them, they can't hide where Emperor Shitian is. Not to mention, Jun Liufeng and Old Ghost can't appear here now.
According to reliable sources, Jun Liufeng has been recuperating in Cangshengmen since he was seriously injured and has never come out. As for the old ghost, it is rumored that he was killed by Emperor Shitian's troops a few months ago. One is unable to split himself, and the other is separated by yin and yang, so in the end there will be only one left.
But who dares to say it out loud
Even if they had the courage to speak, they probably wouldn't live long enough to finish their words. Everyone knew this. The truth was precious, but life was more precious. For some reason, they suddenly regretted coming in so noisily to let Emperor Shitian give them an explanation.
At this moment, the master ran in again in a panic, and whispered a few words in Liu Minsheng's ear with a complicated look. Although he didn't know what the master said to Liu Minsheng, Liu Minsheng's face became more and more ugly. Presumably, it was not a good thing.
"Look at Lord Liu's face. Has something happened again? If it is about the case, you might as well tell us so that everyone here can hear it." Omi Makino said leisurely, but Liu Minsheng had a gloomy face. He glanced at Di Shitian on the main seat with hesitation.
"Speak." The deep voice sounded like the collision of metal, pleasant to hear but extremely cold, just like Emperor Shi Tian.
Liu Minsheng's face was solemn. He took a step forward, bent his body slightly, and clasped his hands together. "Your Majesty, and all the lords, I just reported that the clothes of the man in black were found in the county government office... and there were bloodstains on them."
“That’s right… It’s him… It’s him… I saw it with my own eyes last night… When he killed someone… The blood splattered on his clothes… It must be him… It must be him…” The night watchman suddenly muttered in extreme fear.
These words changed the expressions of everyone present.
"Well, since King Tianze has sent people to surround the county government office, we are naturally relieved. King Tianze's ability is unmatched in the entire continent. I believe that the murderer will not escape the king's eyes, so I will take my leave first." The envoy of the Bai Kingdom said.
Soon after, Nanling, Dongling, Fengguo, Tianqi, and Hamo all came out to say goodbye. Even Omi Makino left in a hurry after hearing the news.
Looking at the people leaving, Liu Minsheng's worries continued to grow.
"Your Majesty, they must have misunderstood something. Would you like me to go and explain it?"
"No need." The curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and Emperor Shi Tian's eyes finally opened. The dark eyes were as deep as the sea. No matter when and where, no matter what happened, Emperor Shi Tian would always remain calm. You would never see panic on his face.
What is coming will eventually come. Explanation? If this matter can be explained clearly, why would he go to so much trouble
"Give me my seal." Some things need to be prepared in advance. Since the other party has already made a move, he can only accept it.
Liu Minsheng stepped forward, took out the seal and handed it to Di Shitian.
Emperor Shitian put the seal aside, picked up the wolf howl on the table, and wrote quickly. After a while, he finished writing and stamped the seal that symbolized his identity.
"Leave it to Dugu Yingcheng."
"I obey your order." (To be continued)
