Later, on the way to the capital, many experts from the Demonic Sect came out to seize Zu'an, and the leader of them was suspected to be Qiu Honglei.
Based on information from various sources, Qiu Honglei should be the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect.
Meanwhile, the long-haired woman who carried out the assassination was Yun Jianyue, the leader of the Demonic Sect, and Qiu Honglei was her direct disciple.
A few days ago, a woman resembling Qiu Honglei was spotted around the Baron Zuan's mansion. Afterwards, Zuan went to the brothel, and then Cheng Gang was deposed. Immediately afterwards, it was revealed that Cheng Gang had colluded with assassins from the brothel...
It lists a lot of evidence, and although some things were not witnessed firsthand, it also lists various reasonable speculations, which are almost indistinguishable from the facts.
This is clearly the work of Zhu Xie Chixin. Damn it, he calls me brother to my face, but stabs me in the back.
However, he also knew that blaming Zhu Xiechi was pointless. It was probably the emperor who ordered him to investigate him. Damn it, they were all cunning old foxes who would eat people alive.
"It seems Cheng Xiong's suspicions were correct; it was indeed you who transported the assassin out of the palace." The emperor's cold gaze enveloped him, as if he were looking at a dead man.
In that instant, he unleashed his full power, and Zu'an felt the surrounding air become extremely viscous. He couldn't even move a finger, as if he would instantly vanish into thin air if the emperor made a single thought.
Zuan's mind raced faster than ever before. He considered how to respond, and his first reaction was to deny it to the death, since many of the records didn't contain any crucial evidence anyway.
However, he immediately rejected this approach. He argued that the need for evidence in investigations was only relevant to ordinary people. As for the emperor, if he believed something, would he let you go just because there was no evidence?
Wait a minute, it seems the system backend hasn't received much anger value from the emperor?
And why did he have to tell me so much? If he really wanted to kill me, he could have just moved a finger and I would be dead. Why waste so much breath on me?
Thinking of the task he had been given, he had a sudden thought and immediately said, "I deserve to die! However, I did not collude with the Demonic Sect. It was just that I happened to meet Qiu Honglei at the time. She had saved my life, and I could not stand idly by, so I spared her life."
He said, half-jokingly, that of course, the matter of saving Yun Jianyue could not be mentioned at all, as the emperor would never allow a grandmaster to escape his control.
The emperor stared at him expressionlessly: "Oh, so it's about repaying kindness. Do you expect me to reward you?"
Zu An hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I dare not. I know I deserve to die. I will leave my punishment to Your Majesty."
