After settling things here, Zu An went directly to the Yi City Lord's Mansion, found the City Lord Liao Ling, and briefly explained Zhang Jie's situation to him.

In the entire Yi County officialdom, almost no one dared to believe it, but Liao Ling was an exception. To be able to cultivate such pure and righteous sword energy, one's character must be upright.

Liao Ling was shocked when he learned Zhang Jie's true colors and instinctively disbelieved the conclusion.

However, with witnesses and physical evidence from Zu'an, he began to waver.

Next, Zu'an instructed him to keep a close watch on the entire Yi County to prevent Zhang Jie's confidants from causing any trouble out of desperation.

As for why people from the Yan King's side weren't allowed to do it, it was because they were afraid that the Yan King would take the opportunity to purge dissidents, which would completely disrupt the balance of power in Yi County.

Liao Ling also understood this principle. Although he still had some doubts about Zhang Jie's matter, he still agreed to help control the situation first.

After arranging all these things, Zaun found an open space to summon the emperor.

As a result, perhaps because of the previous times, he called out several times but received no response.

However, Zaun did not give up and continued to call out.

After a while, an impatient voice rang out from the gold medal: "If you don't have a reasonable explanation this time, I will hold you accountable!"

Anger points from Zhao Hao: +233 +233 +233...

Clearly, the feeling of being ordered around like a monkey was quite unpleasant. This time, he didn't even project his divine sense over; he only sent a voice.

He was thinking that the next time he saw this guy, he would definitely take back his right to summon him.

Zuan gave a brief account of what had just happened.

"Zhang Jie, a wizard?" Zhao Hao's voice was startled, clearly realizing that this was no small matter. He couldn't care less about blaming the other party for calling him. After a moment, he asked in a deep voice, "What's the motive?"

Clearly, he didn't blindly trust Zu'an, but was curious why a high-ranking official like Zhang Jie would take such a big risk.

"I don't know the specifics, but I do know that there should be a mysterious force behind him." Zu'an did not report anything about the princes and grandsons of the previous dynasty.

Zhang Jie had told me those things before, firstly to buy time to successfully get the sorcerer to possess him, and secondly because he had malicious intentions. He knew that once he knew such royal secrets, the emperor would definitely not tolerate him and would settle scores with him sooner or later.

Therefore, he would naturally not be foolish enough to reveal everything.

“A mysterious force…” Zhao Hao fell silent, as if he had thought of something.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Zu'an even thought he had already left.

Just then, Zhao Hao suddenly spoke up, his voice full of doubt: "Zhang Jie was a grandmaster, and since he also had the abilities of a wizard, how come he was killed by you?"
