However, this kind of dispute between the city lords will not cause much splash.
The reason is very simple. Except for me and Bai Huang, none of the thirty-six city lords present were directly involved in this case. The disaster relief funds were not distributed by them, and they had never been to Tianyue Mountain, so their dispute had no effect on the result.
So who else is involved
In fact, there is another heavyweight figure who has not spoken out.
Bai Huang obviously thought of it with me, and said loudly:
"By the way, when Lide and I were there, Umi, the white-clothed minister, was also there. He did his best to help the victims and calm their emotions, and he had a good reputation among the victims. And when we were assassinated, he was also the white-clothed guard." The people who saved us, if your Majesty still doubts anything, you can ask him, and the truth will naturally be revealed to the world."
"Oh? And this."
The king turned to Umi and asked:
"What do you think?"
Umi lowered her head as if she didn't hear.
For a moment, everyone in the hall held their breath, waiting for his answer. The two princes who didn't see each other looked away, the ministers who were whispering were silent, and the city lords who were still cynical just now also fell silent. Baihuang even looked at Umi with extremely eager eyes, waiting for him to speak. Abel and Tamros, who were kneeling on the ground, were sweating profusely, not daring to look up at the king.
Every second seemed so long.
But soon, Umi raised his head and said with a smile:
"Although I have stayed in Tianyue Mountain for a while, as we all know, Tianyue Mountain is very big, and it is impossible for me to go to every corner. What I see may not be the whole picture. This matter is of great importance. I am afraid it will take Please Your Majesty personally send the imperial guards and Jin Yiwei to investigate."
The king snorted coldly:
"I have to investigate everything. What do you want you ministers to do? Baiyi Qingxiang, I really don't see what you are capable of... In this case, let's settle this matter first. You poked the basket, you want to It is enough for me to clean up the mess for you."
Umi arched his hands, bowed deeply, and replied:
"I am ashamed."
The king turned to the white phoenix and said:
"You are very good and very energetic. I have met your father and elder brother. They are very smart and capable of doing things. But without your aggressiveness, young people should look like young people. With you in the sea of clouds, I will not be lonely in the future. Don't worry, this king has always set an example and will not let his people be wronged. This king will investigate the matter of Tianyue Mountain to the end. You have made a meritorious report, and you will receive it when you come back. Second prize."
The two ministers kneeling on the ground were relieved, and many people were also relieved.
Only Bai Huang had an unbelievable expression on his face.
Perhaps in Bai Huang's view, there were all the witnesses and material evidence, and the witnesses were still the famous minister in white. In any case, the heads of several parties should be killed, or a solution should be proposed. But in the end, there was only one sentence, "Check back later", which was quite different from what she had imagined.
The most feared thing in the world is procrastination. Once it is procrastinated, there will be many variables. Who knows if it will be nothing in the end.
Unless, someone pushes the flames. Push more things to the table.
But unfortunately, all forces have accepted and acquiesced to this situation, and no one is willing to say anything more.
For them, there will always be a result in this struggle, and it is enough to do so at this stage. But for those who fell in the wind and snow in Tianyue Mountain, waiting for one more day would mean that many people would die.
Seeing Bai Huang sitting down in a daze, I narrowed my eyes and tapped my fingers on the table twice. He raised his head, looked at the king, and asked in a voice that wasn't too loud but that he could definitely hear:
"If it is found out that the culprit behind the scenes is someone from within the royal family, what will His Majesty do?"
The king's already relaxed hand squeezed the armrest again, leaned forward, and said in a deep voice:
"What's the meaning?"
I sigh.
Actually, I shouldn't have said that.
However, let's treat it as a favor to Bai Huang. I raised the volume a little and said:
"I mean, if people around His Majesty, such as the two princes, are involved, will His Majesty punish them?"
Logically speaking, when these words fell, there should be many dog legs shouting "presumptuous" to come out to protect the Lord, but the miracle is that when these words fell, the hall was still eerily peaceful. There was no sound, everyone lowered their heads and remained silent. In this solemn atmosphere that seemed to be agglomerating, the king turned his head and glanced at Chaowang and Xiwang, and when he turned his gaze to me, his face was still smiling, but there was already a bit of murderous intent in his eyes. I said word for word:
"If this king's son is really involved, this king will never tolerate it."
I saw the little princess Lanna next to her with a sad face. No way, if I say this, I will offend His Majesty the King completely. But he didn't intend to let me go before, so so be it. Bai Huang is indeed a little troublemaker, especially when Bai Feng is not watching, she dares to say anything, but such an idiot can be regarded as my friend, and I will take care of her troubles together.
After today, no one has a way out, so let this pool of water continue to muddy.
The king took a deep breath, but he was no longer as calm as before, and just said:
"Having said so much, the king is also tired. Go to the backyard to rest first. Queen, Lanna, you go with me. King Chao, King Xi, you come to host the banquet. When the banquet is over, go to the back garden Zhulin informed this king. I still remember that I want to be a mediator for a pair of enemies... "
After finishing speaking, the king gave me a cold look, and stood up holding on to the handrail. The queen and little princess Lanna then got up and followed him from left to right. Those big insiders swarmed around him, surrounded him and left. The atmosphere in the hall became deserted again, and the prince who was sitting at the top, facing the king, stood up, still calm and steady, and said to the ministers and city lords:
"Father is unwell, and we will host the banquet next. The toasting session has just passed, and then, you don't have to stick to your seats, you can get up and talk together at any time. The tables and chairs will be moved back, and the dance is about to begin. You can enjoy The characteristic dance of the palace, you can also dance with them. If you have anything to report to us, the two of us are always waiting for your invitation to talk."
After speaking, he sat back. Xi Wang, who was sitting next to him, smiled disdainfully and looked away.
I was still sitting on the seat, slowly picked up the last ball and put it in my mouth, then stood up and watched the guards remove the table and chairs. For an insignificant person like me, naturally no one would want to communicate with me. Most of the people are chatting with those who are at the top of the ranking, or communicating with the city lords of some neighboring territories. Even Bai Huang was surrounded by many people. I yawned and silently calculated the current situation in the capital.
