Monster Synthesis Master - Chapter 530
530 the chaos in dragon city
The next morning.
The sun had just risen, and the purple Qi came from the East. The first rays of the morning light shone on the cloud Dragon Stone steps of the Royal Court, dyeing the warm white jade into gold.
The dragons carved on the Jade walls seemed to come to life. Their golden scales glistened, and they were extremely lifelike. They were full of vigor and Majesty.
!!
“The morning court session has begun. Milords, please enter the hall!”
With a long and shrill announcement, the civil and military officials of Dragon City stepped onto the cloud Dragon Stone steps and entered the main hall of the Royal Court.
Xu tianzhao was even more elated after hearing about what happened on the day when the Trident took office.
First, he won a huge victory in the game with the old party and families. Then, after Li Chao took office, he found an excuse to get rid of all the teachers and students of the aristocratic families and directly uprooted the old party forces in Luo Zhe Palace. He did what he had always wanted to do but couldn’t do, which made people feel very happy!
On the day that Qin Shou took over the Dauntless cavalry camp, he had completely eliminated the horse bandits that had repeatedly appeared in the suburbs of Dragon City, which made Xu tianzhao even more sure of his previous decision. These three people would definitely be the backbone of the future Dragon City!
Therefore, in the court today, Xu tianzhao’s face was red. He met the group of people from the old party with a victorious attitude. He wanted to see how they would pretend that nothing had happened after their failure.
however, when all the officials came to the court, xu tian looked around but did not see the emperor’s teacher.
In the past, at this time, the emperor’s teacher would always stand at the front as the representative of the officials.
However, today, the one standing at the top was the head of the he family, the leader of the old party.
“Where is master Leng? You didn’t go to court today, but you didn’t ask for leave?” xu tianzhao asked doubtfully. he had been in cold seclusion for decades and had never been late or absent from court as the emperor’s teacher. why was he missing today when he had won the victory in front of the old party?
The officials of the Royal Court also looked at each other in surprise. Why was a person who had never been late in the cold gate missing today? That shouldn’t be the case, they were drinking together last night, Yingluo.
Xu tianzhao looked at Li Chao, who was next to him, and asked him to go down and find out what was going on.
Li Chao’s quiet exit attracted the attention of many ministers in the court. They all knew that he was going to understand the situation.
xu tianzhao sat on the dragon throne and glanced at the ministers. he saw yang jian, who was in a daze, and could not help but laugh. I heard that Yang Qing’s family was very honest when they drank last night. They toasted everyone they met. In the end, the banquet didn’t even start for long and you got drunk first? ”
With Xu tianzhao’s question, the serious atmosphere suddenly eased. The ministers all had smiles on their faces, and even Yang Jian smiled naively and touched the back of his head in embarrassment. Only one person’s expression was uncertain. Occasionally, he would smile insincerely with everyone else. He was half a beat slower, and seemed to be preoccupied with something.
As the main subject of today’s observation, he Zhan’s expression fell into Xu tianzhao’s eyes.
However, Xu tianzhao did not suspect anything. He took it as the frustration of the old party’s defeat yesterday.
The atmosphere of the Royal Court’s morning court session eased a lot with a series of relaxing topics.
Xu tianzhao’s eyes were focused on Qin Shou, who was in the front row of the generals. He noticed that Qin Shou’s expression was a little dazed and anxious.
Minister Qin, yesterday, you took over the office and solved the horse bandits that have been plaguing Dragon City for a long time. If this news is released, the people will definitely go to the streets to celebrate. In the future, when they pass by the suburbs, they won’t have to be so worried. You are really My Lucky Star! Xu tianzhao was not stingy with his praise. Qin Shou and Yang Jian were both promoted by him, so praising them was like praising himself.
“City Lord, you’re too kind. Yesterday, on my way to my post, I heard that bandits were rampant in the suburbs, so I arranged for my men to eliminate them. I didn’t expect that I would really find their nest and uproot them. It’s all luck!” However, while link was smiling, a dark look flashed across his eyes. He even turned his head slightly to the Civil officials at the side, as if he wanted to see he Zhan’s expression, but he was afraid of being discovered and retracted his head.
Xu tianzhao saw all of their expressions, but he didn’t point them out. He was going to ask Qin Shou about it after the morning assembly.
haha, that’s why I say you’re My Lucky Star. On the day you took office, you solved the bandit problem.
After that, according to the morning court procedure, other ministers put forward some suggestions. When the court discussion was about to end, the gold-holding official, Li Chao, quickly returned to Xu tianzhao’s side, his face full of unconcealed anxiety.
“City Lord, I’ve sent someone to master Leng’s residence to ask,” Li Chao whispered in his ear,”and the answer I received was that master Leng didn’t return after going to the Yang residence to celebrate last night. i even called master leng’s number, but no one picked up. According to the information we’ve gathered, master Leng returned in he Zhan’s carriage after the banquet at the Yang residence had ended last night. However, he disappeared without a trace after that.”
xu tianzhao’s expression suddenly became serious. master leng had not returned the entire night and was nowhere to be found. his phone could not be reached either. this was obviously not logical.
Xu tianzhao’s eyes fell on he Zhan. He saw that the representative of the powerful family was avoiding eye contact with him, which made him very suspicious.
“Alright, I know. You can go to the side first.”
li chao stood to the side and resumed his duty as a guard.
Xu tianzhao saw that the officials in the court were also confused and wanted to know the situation of the emperor’s teacher. After thinking for a moment, he decided to tell them about it and ask, ” “Just now, I ordered Li Chao to investigate. Master Leng didn’t return last night, and his whereabouts are unknown.”
as soon as these words came out, it caused a great uproar in the imperial court.
Everyone turned to he Zhan. “Lord he, didn’t the emperor’s teacher take your carriage home last night? Why did the people of the Leng residence say that the emperor’s teacher did not return last night?”
“Yes, the emperor’s teacher was in your carriage. At that time, the fifty to sixty people present all saw it.”
He Zhan hurriedly concealed the panic in his eyes and said, ” “Halfway through the journey, the Emperor teacher said he wanted to take a walk, so he got off alone. i don’t know why i didn’t go home after that. you guys didn’t think i did something to the emperor’s teacher, did you? The emperor’s teacher was one of the top experts in Dragon City. He Zhan was just a scholar who knew nothing about martial arts. What could he do to the emperor’s teacher? Besides, even if someone wanted to harm the emperor’s teacher, they wouldn’t choose this time. Everyone saw the emperor’s teacher get into my carriage, so if something were to happen, I would naturally be the first to be held responsible. I, he Zhan, am not that stupid!”
Although he Zhan’s explanation was far-fetched, it dispelled many people’s doubts.
It was true that he Zhan had disappeared right after he got on the carriage. The first thought that came to everyone’s mind was that he Zhan had done it. If they really wanted to take action, it would be too stupid of them to choose this time.
Even Xu tianzhao’s expression softened a little. He Zhan was right. After all, he was the leader of a powerful family. If he was so stupid, he wouldn’t have fought with him for so long.
But at this moment, Qin Shou stood up. “Lord he’s words are wrong. What if Lord he had a reason to kill the Emperor teacher?”
Everyone’s eyes shifted to Qin Shou. It seemed like this valiant cavalry general knew something.
qin shou cupped his fists and reported to xu tianzhao, ” “City Lord, after we cleared out the bandits yesterday, when we were clearing out the spoils of war, I found out that the horse bandits and the powerful families were involved in a contemptible business. This is a serious matter, so I didn’t announce it immediately. Instead, I contacted Chancellor li yesterday and asked him to introduce me to the information. I have reason to suspect that the Imperial teacher has met with an accident!”
Qin Shou then took out a document from his shirt. city Lord, this is the backup I kept. You can see the truth with a single look!
Xu tianzhao raised his head and looked at Li Chao. Li Chao nodded decisively.”there is such a matter. General Qin said that he had an important matter to discuss with the Imperial tutor, so I contacted master Leng. In the end, I only found out about this matter after meeting master Leng in a secret villa on the outskirts of the city.”
Although he knew the truth, Xu tianzhao still remained calm. He ordered Li Chao to get the copy and slowly closed the file after reading it.
The Imperial court was as silent as cicadas in winter, no one daring to speak. Everyone had their heads lowered as they waited for the storm to arrive.
Heaven’s might was unpredictable.
“Minister he, why don’t you explain?”
All the other ministers in the Imperial court fixed their eyes on he Zhan. Even those from the old factions and powerful families wanted to know whether this was true or not, and they were all calculating in their minds. if the emperor’s teacher really died, then the pillar of dragon city would die, and they would be able to divide more power, and even force xu tianzhao to abdicate. As for the three newly promoted generals, their foundations were still shallow. How could they compare to the Alliance of the aristocratic families? they had to be clear about it.
However, this he Zhan was really mean. He had secretly killed Leng Guan without letting them know!
The most important point was that the horse bandits had been confirmed, but they had destroyed all the evidence last night. There was no evidence. As long as they insisted that it was a frame-up, they could still kick the ball back. Without conclusive evidence, this matter was just a headless case, and the outcome would definitely be unresolved.
He Zhan took a deep breath, cupped his hands, and said, ” “City Lord, I’ve worked hard for Dragon City all my life, and I’ve done things with a clear conscience. This letter must have been deliberately forged by someone in order to cause internal disputes in the Imperial court and cause internal strife in Dragon City. I ask the city Lord to investigate!”
He Zhan was very confident and resolute. The other ministers of the powerful families behind him also chimed in, ” “City Lord, please investigate!”
xu tianzhao’s face was gloomy. when he saw that the aristocratic families had come to force him to abdicate, he knew that they must have nothing to fear. The evidence of the horse bandits and the powerful families must have been destroyed.
“Lord he, are you saying that I forged evidence to frame you?” Qin Shou said resentfully.
He Zhan immediately cupped his fists and said,”I wouldn’t dare!” General Qin showed the might of Dragon City in the beast tide battle. He led the soldiers to fight the most beautiful battle in history, and the losses were unprecedented. I just think that someone is using Mr. Qin on purpose. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be strange if the horse bandits we’ve been trying to exterminate for years were exterminated by Sir Qin’s cavalrymen?”
At this moment, the gold-holding Wu Li Chao also spoke, ” city Lord, it’s not difficult to investigate this matter. As long as we retrieve the surveillance footage from the Yang residence in the main city district last night, we’ll be able to find master Leng’s whereabouts.
Xu tianzhao knew that this was the best opportunity to bring down the powerful families. The horse bandits incident and the disappearance of the emperor’s teacher were two major pieces of news. The turbulent public opinion was enough to tear any powerful family apart.
alright, then we’ll investigate this matter thoroughly. Everyone, follow me to the Department of Inspection to get the video. A group of people rushed to the inspection Division. Xu tianzhao, Li Chao, Qin Shou, and Yang Jian were in the same car, while the others gathered together.
on the dragon carriage, xu tianzhao’s face was gloomy. he clenched his fists and did not try to hide his anger.
“So, there’s a high chance that master Leng was killed.” xu tianzhao thought of he zhan’s expression and eyes that had changed several times in the court, as well as his last attempt to abdicate, and he was sure of his guess.
Li Chao and link also started acting. Their expressions were dejected, clearly unable to accept this fact.
just now, I suggested to get the surveillance video from the Department of Inspection. He Zhan looked fearless. I guess he had already bribed the Department of Inspection to delete the video. This won’t work. I have to find another way. Xu tianzhao analyzed.
Now that everything was going according to Link’s plan, Li Chao also gave a timely advice. city Lord, the Department of Inspection had a communication cooperation with monster security company some time ago. Even though the video data of the Department of Inspection has been deleted, the Communication Department under monster security company still has a backup.
Xu tianzhao frowned. shadu has been in cahoots with the old party for a long time. They must have been of the same breath and branch. They must have destroyed the video data. This path won’t work.”
Li Chao, link, and silver hand snickered in their hearts. It was not up to the old party to speak on monster security company’s side. Moreover, third brother had already prepared the road video last night. He could get it at any time as long as they visited.
“City Lord, let me go. Chancellor li will stay here and take charge of the overall situation. General Qin will protect me. I’ll go and return quickly.” The Silver Hand, who was playing the role of Yang Jian, said immediately.
Xu tianzhao also felt that it was necessary to give it a try. After losing the cold gate and digging out information that the horse bandits were aristocratic families, if they could not get rid of the aristocratic families this time, it would be even more difficult in the future. he could not let go of any possible opportunity.
silver hand jumped down from the dragon carriage and quickly left.
In the following carriage, he Zhan also told the other family heads what had happened yesterday, but he added some penmanship.
Last night, he Zhan and the others followed Leng Guan to the villa in the suburbs. He Zhan vaguely remembered that when he was about to leave, his family had sent many people to guard outside the villa. They had a dispute with Leng Guan over this matter, and then they had a big fight. He Zhan himself had been knocked unconscious.
By the time he woke up, his subordinates had also fainted on the ground, with many dead or injured. However, Leng Guan had many wounds on his body, and his blood was all over the ground.
Immediately, he tai was ecstatic. He immediately arranged for his family’s subordinates to clean up the scene, remove the traces, and delete the video.
In the process, they also found a large number of gold and silver treasures stored in the cold pass.
Of course, he Zhan had omitted some parts of the content he told the other family patriarchs. He described the passive counterattack as the active attack, which lured the cold seclusion to this place. This won the unanimous praise of the other family patriarchs.
well done, master he. Now, there’s no evidence, and the evidence has been cleaned up.
“With Leng Guan dead, Xu tianzhao’s greatest support is gone. Although Qin Shou, Yang Jian, and Li Chao are tricky to deal with, it’s not like there’s no way out. We’ll start with Li Chao, Xu tianzhao’s most trusted man, and then try to sow discord between Qin Shou, Yang Jian, and Xu tianzhao. We’ll solve the problem bit by bit.”
I’ve already made arrangements with the Department of Inspection. No matter how Xu tianzhao performs, he can’t pin a crime on me!
“Perhaps, we can use today’s insult to clean up the emperor’s side and get rid of Li Chao first, hehe.”
“good plan, i’ll arrange it now!”
“I’m also Jue Jue”
the family heads took out their phones and contacted the other family heads or the family’s private soldiers.
A storm was quietly gathering in the sky above Dragon City.
