After saying that, seeing that there was still no movement inside, he slightly raised the corners of his lips and said to his subordinates, "Since Lord Eleven is not here, go and open the door."
Zaun noticed two people among the guards who were dressed differently. They didn't look like guards, but rather like researchers from the library. He had a sudden thought: these must be rune masters. They were skilled at carving rune arrays, which could have many unexpected uses.
They were the ones who made the defensive runes and formations in these houses in the palace, so naturally they could open them too.
Seeing the two about to break the formation, Zu An snorted coldly and walked out directly: "What are you doing?"
Upon seeing him arrive, Cheng Xiong revealed a sinister smile before feigning embarrassment: "Lord Eleven, your return is just in time, saving us the trouble of breaking down the door. We are currently checking the uniforms provided to the Embroidered-Robed Envoys, so please bring them out for everyone to inspect."
Zu An sneered, "You bastards, what right do you have to investigate the Embroidered-Robed Envoy? You think you can just hand it over to me like that? Who do you think you are?"
Cheng Xiong's breath hitched; he hadn't expected this guy to be so lazy as to not even bother with the pretense.
Cheng Xiong's anger level increased by 888!
Since that's the case, don't blame me for being impolite.
Cheng Xiong's face instantly turned cold: "According to the palace guards, an assassin disguised as an Embroidered-Robed Envoy slipped out of the palace yesterday, so today we will thoroughly investigate the use of the Embroidered-Robed Envoy uniforms by all those in the palace yesterday."
Zu An interrupted him directly, saying, "What a joke! Since the palace guards discovered that it was an assassin, why didn't they arrest him on the spot? Why did they have to say it afterward? I have enough reason to suspect that you are framing him."
Having climbed to this position, Cheng Xiong was naturally a man of firm resolve. He immediately said, "As the saying goes, the innocent are innocent and the guilty are guilty. If Lord Eleven is truly innocent, why not let us investigate? It would be a good way to silence the gossip."
Zu An sneered, "What kind of logic is this? You just throw a load of shit at me and expect me to prove my innocence? If I say you ate two bowls of shit this morning, then you cut open your stomach and take it out so everyone can see that it's not shit inside to prove your innocence."
The guards around them were trying their best to suppress their laughter; they wanted to laugh but dared not, which was really uncomfortable.
"You bastard!" Cheng Xiong roared in fury.
Cheng Xiong's anger level increased by 999!
"Men, seize this bastard! If he resists, kill him without mercy!" He was now completely determined to kill him, and there was even excitement in his eyes. He was now in the position of investigating the case, and his suspicions were also reasonable. As long as this guy resisted, he could claim that he knew he had been exposed and was resisting, and killing him would be a matter of course. Afterwards, even Zhu Xie Chixin would have no way to say anything.
