Putting aside his thoughts, the gloomy old man continued to ask, "Have you seen any guests visiting the palace recently?"
Xiang Sheng shook his head: "No."
The gloomy old man narrowed his eyes and said, "Your master's personal guards should be far more than just the two of you. Where are the others?"
"I heard from the attendant that all the other guards were assassinated by the rebels..."
"Has there been any rebel attacks on the palace recently?"
"No."
The gloomy old man was extremely fast, asking one question after another, not giving Xiang Sheng any chance to think.
Xiang Sheng answered fluently, and Duan Ming was amazed.
Seniors are seniors, even their acting skills are much better than others.
Soon, the gloomy old man finished asking and warned sternly:
"You should know the relative importance of the Ming family and Gong Shengzi.
When you are questioned today, you must not tell your master, otherwise…"
Duan Ming was just worried about not having a chance to show off, so when he heard this, he immediately put on a fawning smile like a lackey and replied without waiting for the other party to finish.
"Don't worry, sir! We will keep our mouths shut and won't reveal a single word."
"That's better."
After leaving behind these four words, the gloomy old man flicked his sleeves and left.
As the man left, Duan Ming was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but when he glanced at Xiang Sheng, his heart immediately tightened, and he understood something. Then he pretended to say:
"Chen Li, don't say that brother won't help you. The Ming family is very powerful, much more powerful than our prince. We should be more sensible..."
The gloomy old man who was secretly watching heard this and left with satisfaction.
He didn't know that Duan Ming said this on the surface, but secretly conveyed his thoughts:
"Senior, you really scared me to death!
Why didn't you remind me so I could prepare myself?"
Xiang Sheng's eyes were calm, "A few more twists and turns may not be a bad thing."
Duan Ming understood the hidden meaning in the words, and then he felt a chill in his heart.
The death of the Holy Son Mingzhe was suspicious, and this Ming Protector came to investigate. It was obvious that he did not believe Gong Moyan, so he talked to them alone.
If you answer too smoothly, they will only suspect that you have colluded with them in advance.
This series of bumps and twists and turns seems natural.
The senior actually even calculated this step.
It's really scary.
At the same time, inside the palace.
Gong Moyan respectfully escorted the middle-aged man to his seat, while he himself stood below with a nervous look on his face.
He was so tactful, but the middle-aged man didn't buy it and said coldly:
"Gong Shengzi should know that I only have two sons."
Gong Moyan forced a smile skillfully and complimented:
"I know...I know. Everyone in the entire Demon Heaven Palace knows that you, the Dharma Protector Mingqian, are a good parent!"
Bang!
Ming Qian clapped his hands fiercely, stood up, and rushed towards Gong Moyan with the pressure of the God Transformation Stage:
"Are you a good parent?"
He sneered, "My son is dead! And you're telling me you've raised me well?!"
Gong Moyan was the first to be hit. He groaned and blood oozed from the corner of his mouth. He looked confused and panicked.
"The Holy Son of Mingzhe is dead?!
How is that possible? I only know that he is missing, the Holy Son of Mingzhe..."
"Shut up!"
Mingqian shouted angrily, "Get out!"
Gong Moyan immediately shut up and crawled out.
After he left, Mingqian sat down, and the anger on his face instantly subsided, turning into indifference.
Although he was heartbroken by his child's death, it was not enough to make him lose his composure like this.
What I did just now was just to test Gong Moyan, I did it on purpose.
If Gong Moyan lied during the interrogation, knowing that Zhe'er was dead, under his pressure and sudden dilemma, there should have been some flaws in his words.
Unfortunately, although Gong Moyan's performance just now was not worthy of a Holy Son, his reaction was extremely natural, so he must not have lied.
At this time, the gloomy old man quickly walked into the hall and came to his side.
“Master, it has been checked.
The palace had two new guards assigned from Demon City, but they were not Gong Moyan's men.
The old servant threatened them a little, and they both told the truth. "No one has come to the palace recently, so the young master should be on his way here..."
Having said this, the gloomy old man paused and continued, "I have also heard that the original guards in this palace were all killed by the rebels.
Gong Shengzi's situation is extremely precarious, and he probably wants the rebels to be destroyed more than anyone else."
Ming Qian nodded slightly: "You go down first and call Gong Moyan back in."
The gloomy old man nodded and left.
Not long after, Gong Moyan returned to the hall with a look of panic on his face, lowering his eyes and not daring to look at the seat of honor.
Mingqian was disdainful in his heart, but on the surface he softened his tone: "Don't blame me, Gong Shengzi. I lost my composure just now and took my anger out on you."
Gong Moyan then looked up and saw Mingqian's expression had eased. His face also relaxed a little, and he opened his mouth and said:
"The Dharma Protector Ming is clear-sighted. The death of the Holy Son Mingzhe really has nothing to do with me."
"I know it has nothing to do with you. It was the rebels who did it."
When Mingqian said this, Gong Moyan's eyes lit up immediately and he nodded repeatedly:
“Yes, yes, it must be the rebels!
Those crazy rebels were so bold, they..."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense."
Mingqian was annoyed by his constant attempts to justify himself, so he interrupted him and asked, "How much do you know about the rebels' whereabouts?"
"I know quite a bit."
Gong Moyan nodded quickly and said:
“I have suffered greatly from them over the years, so I have been secretly trying to find out the news about the rebels.
They hid too deeply before and I had no idea where to start.
Lately, that group has been going crazy, recruiting people everywhere and making frequent moves, so I was able to catch them a few times."
