"Duke Yao, you have to make the decision for my father."
"Duke Yao, my husband died here, in Wenqing's mourning hall. The murderer was so cruel and arrogant!"
Duke Yao rushed to the mansion of Duke Anguo, and Duke Anguo's son, wife and others cried and complained, each of them was extremely angry.
"You guys get up first."
Duke Yao said in a deep voice, "Tell the Dali Temple if there are any more Divine Martial Guards?"
"I have."
The An family replied.
Duke Yao nodded slightly. He looked at Duke An and his consciousness entered Duke An's body. Duke An's soul was also injured.
"Duke Yao."
Not long after, people from the Shenwu Guards and the Dali Temple rushed over. They were shocked to see the body of Duke Anguo.
A few months ago, Cai Yuanjing, Xie Wenzhong and others died, but they were killed by His Majesty. It is very different for Duke Anguo.
"Duke Yao, the murderer first killed Prince An, then killed Shaoqing Liu Shan, and now he's killing the Duke. This behavior is too outrageous."
"This kind of thing always happens after interrogating Xiao Fan and the others. The death of Duke Anguo and the others is definitely related to Xiao Fan and the others!"
Someone from the Divine Martial Guard said in a deep voice.
The wife of Duke Anguo said angrily, "Duke Yao, you must arrest Xiao Fan and the others and make them pay the price."
Duke Yao took a deep breath and said, "Madam An, there is currently no evidence that Xiao Fan is related to the deaths of Duke An and his men. If there is, I will definitely order their arrest."
"It's not appropriate to arrest people now."
Madam An wanted to say more, but Duke Yao raised his hand to stop her: "Madam An, you don't want the An family to be wiped out, do you?"
"hiss!"
Many people in the An family gasped.
Some of them felt a chill running from their heels to the top of their heads.
"Madam An, the murderer dared to kill even Duke An. He is most likely capable of annihilating an entire family."
"I understand how you feel, but you still have to control your emotions."
Duke Yao said in a deep voice.
He was frightened at this moment. Although he had the cultivation base of a Martial Emperor, he only had the strength of an early Martial Emperor. It would not be difficult for a strong man at the perfect Martial Emperor level to kill him.
Moreover, the Yao family is wealthy and powerful, and his sons and grandsons do not have the strength of a Martial Emperor. The murderer would not target their Yao family, right?
"Duke Yao, please take your time to investigate. You are right. We must rely on evidence for everything. We cannot act recklessly without evidence."
An Wenbin, the second son of Duke Anguo, said.
He felt complicated. Originally, his elder brother was the prince and had nothing to do with him. Now his elder brother and father died one after another.
He can then inherit the title.
According to the rules of the Tianlong Empire, the title of Duke can be passed down twice, which means that one person can become Duke for three generations.
The title of Duke of the An family has only been passed down once, and An Wenbin can become the Duke by then.
But even if he becomes a Duke, the status of the An family will be greatly reduced. Duke An is not a top-notch expert, but at least he has the cultivation level of a Martial King.
An Wenbin is just a second-generation rich man with only Digang level cultivation.
Given his age, cultivation, and ability, it would be difficult for him to convince the people even if he became a Duke, and he would most likely be abandoned by the Lingnan gentry if he settled down in the family.
"Wenbin, your father and elder brother are gone. You have to be more sensible and shoulder the responsibility of revitalizing the An family."
Duke Yao said in a deep voice.
"yes."
An Wenbin nodded.
Duke Yao sighed softly and said, "There's nothing much to examine about Duke An's body. You should prepare for his funeral."
"I have to go to the palace to see His Majesty."
…
"Your Majesty."
Half an hour later, Duke Yao arrived at the palace and met Qin Zhentian.
Qin Zhentian's face was gloomy. He had already known the situation before Duke Yao came over. A duke actually died like this.
"You don't have to tell me about it, I already know it."
Qin Zhentian said in a deep voice.
Duke Yao said, "Your Majesty, Liu Shaoqing and Duke Anguo both died after interrogating Xiao Fan and the others. I believe their deaths must be related to Xiao Fan."
Qin Zhentian nodded slightly.
"Come here, tell Xiao Fan to come see me!"
Qin Zhentian said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The two eunuchs quickly left the palace.
Qin Zhentian was reviewing memorials while Duke Yao sat upright. More than half an hour later, Xiao Fan finally arrived at the imperial study.
"Your humble servant greets Your Majesty and meets Duke Yao."
Xiao Fan saluted.
Qin Zhentian put down his pen and raised his head: "Xiao Fan, I ask you a question. You must answer truthfully. If you lie to me, you are deceiving the emperor."
He had placed a soul restriction on Xiao Fan before, and Qin Zhentian believed that if he asked, Xiao Fan would definitely answer honestly.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Xiao Fan said respectfully.
Qin Zhentian said in a deep voice: "Prince An, Liu Shan, and Duke An, were they killed by the powerful people behind Murong Die and the others?"
Xiao Fan nodded slightly.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
He was the one who killed the person. He was the powerful man behind Murong Die and the others.
Duke Yao's eyes lit up.
He immediately asked, "Xiao Fan, who is the powerful person behind Murong Die and the others? Did he contact you before he killed them?"
Xiao Fan shook his head: "The other party did not contact me before killing people, but after killing An Guogong, he contacted me."
"He only said one sentence."
Qin Zhentian said in a deep voice: "What did the other party say?"
Xiao Fan said with a puzzled look, "The other party said that demigods cannot be insulted."
"hiss!"
Qin Zhentian and Duke Yao were both shocked.
Both of them are powerful warriors at the level of Martial Emperor, and of course they know what a demigod is. Only after reaching perfection in Martial Emperor can it be possible to set foot on the demigod level.
