The commander of Gaoyang Town knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, not knowing what to say.
Because he really doesn't know anything.
The king of Zhongshan showed impatience on his face, and he waved the commander of Gaoyang Town out.
The hall fell into silence again, and did not speak for a long time.
There has been no clear order in the palace, which shows that Daoist Shang Xingzhou has no preference for the candidate for the general of the Songshan Army Mansion, and all the forces in the court can fight for it.
Of course the princes want this position. It is said that the princes who have been closed for more than a year in order to hit the threshold of the sacred realm have made an exception and made their voices.
The current situation of the Tianhai family is a bit embarrassing. Although they are trying very hard to stabilize their position through the relationship with His Majesty, they are inconvenient to do too much, so as not to cause the displeasure of the Daoist. Seeing that they are gradually being marginalized in the court, Never let this opportunity pass by again.
Everyone wants to fight for this position, and no one wants to speak first.
And what made them feel a little uneasy was that the seventeenth master of the Tang family also died in the snowy ridge that night. Why didn't anyone from the Tang family come this time? If the Tang family took advantage of this incident to want the position of the Songshan Military Mansion, with the relationship between the Tang family and the palace, these people present really did not have the confidence to compete with them.
"There are some things that everyone knows well, but the process that should be followed still needs to be followed. The court still needs to save face."
The impatience on Zhongwangshan's face became more and more intense, he ignored everyone, and signaled the Deputy Minister of Dali Temple to continue the trial.
The Deputy Minister of Dali Temple glanced at the file, suddenly a little surprised, and said: "Is there anyone alive that night?"
Hearing this, the people in the hall were a little surprised, thinking that the Demon Lord had not killed everyone
King Zhongshan also became interested and asked, "Why didn't you mention it before?"
The Deputy Secretary of Dali Temple read the file again, confirmed that he read it correctly, and explained in a low voice: "According to those two people, they were involved in the battle at the time, and they passed out directly. They didn't wake up until a few days ago. back, so no one knew they were alive."
King Zhongshan raised his eyebrows and said, "Interesting, bring it here and ask."
A moment later, a woman wearing the thirteenth priest's uniform and a middle-aged man in military uniform came to the arena.
It was An Hua and Chen Chou who had returned to the Songshan Military Mansion from Banya Racecourse for several days.
"Report your identity."
"The thirteen divisions of the Qing Dynasty teach Anhua."
"Songshan Military Mansion's Lieutenant General Chen Fu."
Hearing these two sentences, it was obvious that the atmosphere in the main hall became a little more relaxed.
For these big shots, a small benefit is really not worth mentioning, or it may be more troublesome to deal with An Hua because of Li Gong's relationship, but it's not a big deal, in short, it's not an uncontrollable character they don't want to see.
"Tell me about what you saw that night, speak carefully, seriously, and don't lie a single word."
King Zhongshan looked at them expressionlessly and said, "In the case file, you should be dead, but now you come back alive. If there is a problem with your survival, then I don't mind letting you die again."
Looking at the indifferent eyes of the big shots, Chen Chou felt as if he had returned to that cold night surrounded by demon wolves.
He knew very well that what he said next would offend these big shots, and it could even be said that he would offend the entire court.
But since he promised, Fang Fang must do it, because he is a soldier of Da Zhou.
He took a deep breath and prepared to step forward to answer.
However, someone moved faster than him.
Anhua stood in front of him, looked at King Zhongshan, Tianhai Chengwen and other important figures and said: "In the autumn of the third year of the New Kingdom, I and General Chen Chou went to Gaoyang Town with a young master who was about to die. We received a message that the owner of Zhu Sha Dan may be over there."
Her voice was calm, clear, and measured.
From Songyang to the lake garden being surrounded, what happened that night was just the beginning, but a conclusion can already be reached.
"The reason why Zhu Ye, Ning Shiwei, and Tianhai Zhanyi died was because they wanted to murder the owner of the cinnabar pill and take it away, but they didn't expect that the demon king didn't die. In order to heal their injuries, they He also came to Xueling to look for the owner of Zhusha Dan, and the two met, so they both died."
The dignitaries in the venue knew that Zhu Ye and the others had indeed died at the hands of the Demon King.
These came from after-the-fact on-site inspections, and most importantly from Bie Yanghong's judgment, but it couldn't be said to be accurate, because everyone was dead.
Some big shots vaguely guessed what Zhu Ye and the others were going to do when they went to Xueling, but it was the first time they heard the witnesses who were present at that time prove this point.
It turned out that it was really for Zhu Sha Dan.
King Zhongshan glanced at General Cheng Tao.
General Cheng Tao nodded slightly imperceptibly.
King Zhongshan's expression was slightly stern, and he confirmed that it was the matter that the two sides discussed in the letter last time.
All the big shots in Kyoto knew about Cinnabar Pill, and they all tried to take this miraculous medicine for themselves.
"Not to mention whether what you said is true or not, even so, you can't pour dirty water on the dead. What is murder? What is vain attempt to seize?"
A deep voice sounded, and the person who spoke was Tianhai Chengwen.
Tianhai Zhanyi is his son, of course he cannot allow his son to bear such a stigma after his death.
If they want to get the position of the general of Songshan Army Mansion, they can't leave any places that are easy to be criticized.
The big shots quickly realized that whether it was Tianhai Zhanyi, Zhu Ye or Ning Shiwei, they could die in a heroic battle, they could fall to their death from the mountain path, but they couldn't die like this.
General Jianxi said with a blank expression: "That's right, General Ning Shiwei is following orders and should not be blamed."
The face of King Zhongshan showed impatience again, and he waved his hand and said, "Let's get straight to the point. You saw them killed by the demon king with your own eyes?"
An Hua shook his head, and said: "We stayed at the lake garden at the time, and we didn't see it with our own eyes, but we heard the devil himself admit it."
Even if the legendary demon king was confirmed to be dead, the big shots present still didn't have the courage to accuse the other party of possibly lying.
King Zhongshan continued to ask: "According to what you said, the owner of Zhushadan was also there at that time?"
Anhua said calmly, "Yes."
King Zhongshan stared into her eyes and asked, "Then how did he die?"
Hearing this question, some people leaned forward slightly, showing special concern.
When they thought about it, since the demon king appeared on the stage, that person would definitely die. They wanted to know where the prescription of cinnabar pill is now...
Anhua said, "Not dead."
King Zhongshan raised his eyebrows and said, "What did you say?"
An Hua met his gaze calmly and said, "He is not dead."
The king of Zhongshan shouted sharply: "Everyone is dead, you are still alive, that person is still alive, do you think this king is an idiot!"
