Most people at the scene did not understand Chen An's unusual behavior.
The old palace master died a long time ago, how could he still stand up?
Chen An continued, "I haven't gotten the statue you carved for me yet. Could you please give me some advice?"
But the coffin didn't move.
Mu Lin quickly stood in front of Chen An and said coldly, "Stop it now and leave yourself a way out. I'll make the decision and ensure you survive."
However, Chen An stretched out his left hand, and a red beam of light shot out from the palm of his hand, hitting the side of the coffin.
Logically, the coffin should have cracked.
But a powerful super energy barrier appeared on the outer surface of the coffin, blocking Chen An's attack.
Bang!
After a loud noise, a figure flew out from the broken coffin. It was the very old Jiang Li.
His eyes were like stars, and when he looked around, he frightened countless people.
People were shocked and silent.
The audiences from various planets were also shocked. They didn't expect that the old palace master was not dead. Today's mourning was in vain.
Finally, Jiang Li set his sights on Chen An.
"Your excellence is beyond my imagination, proving that my original choice was right. To be honest, sometimes I really hope you can succeed."
Chen An asked with a smile: "Is it not possible now?"
"It's a pity that I don't have time." Jiang Li sighed.
If there were still a few hundred or thousand years, he would develop Chen An into his confidant, and it would be entirely feasible to pass the position to him.
But now, Jiang Li trusts Mu Lin more.
At this time, others also rushed to greet and want to know what was going on.
Jiang Li: "I faked my death to test whether Zhou Yao and Yu Hong could be good Palace Masters. Now it seems that they are harmful to Xing Palace and it is better for them to die."
Someone was moved and said, "Since you are still alive, there is no need to choose a new Palace Master."
"No, a new Palace Master still needs to be chosen, because I am nearing the end of my life and don't have much time left. Regarding the selection of the new Palace Master, I propose Xia Zuo and Mu Lin. It is up to you to decide."
This is all nonsense, everyone knows that you can only choose from them.
Suddenly, Yu Jincheng spoke loudly, "You originally nominated three people: Zhou Yao, Yu Hong, and Minister Xia. Now that Zhou Yao and Yu Hong are dead, Minister Xia deserves to be the Palace Master. Furthermore, he previously received enough votes. It's the will of the people and the general trend. Please, old Palace Master, pass on the throne."
Before Jiang Li could speak, the ministers from Mu Lin's side came out to refute and the two sides continued to argue.
Jiang Li is cheerful and looks like a good guy.
"The quarrel is justified. It shows that you are full of vitality and not dead. Xia Zuo and Mu Lin are both good young people. I like them both. In that case, then..."
He paused, his face suddenly tensed, and the anger in his eyes grew more and more intense.
"Xia Zuo, do you admit your guilt?"
The sudden scolding ended the quarrel and surprised many people.
Chen An asked, "Where did the crime come from?"
Jiang Li said loudly: "I just got the news that there is something wrong with your background. It may be related to that train."
These words not only shocked others, but also shocked Chen An.
What the hell is this old guy? How does he know he came from the train?
No matter how calm Chen An was, he couldn't hold it anymore. He immediately made a series of arrangements in his mind, ready to run away at any time.
However, what Jiang Li said next made Chen An laugh and cry.
"Xinggong has been searching for the train, never giving up. Through a comprehensive study of resources from various locations, we discovered that losses in certain areas have increased abnormally. Therefore, we suspect that the train may be responsible. The train has been lingering near Xinggong and has never left, using some method to hide itself."
"Xia Zuo, when you were the Star Lord, Xuanji Star suffered an unusually high loss of resources. After investigation, we discovered that you likely made some undisclosed deal with the train. Is that correct?"
So that's what's happening.
Chen An had long known that the Resource Management Department was studying this issue, and by the way, he asked Fu Yao to provide a lot of misplaced guidance.
Therefore, no matter how they research, the result will not fall on Xuanji Star. It can only be that Jiang Li deliberately framed them.
Using a non-existent train to frame someone is equivalent to forcibly convicting someone without any evidence.
Chen An knew what was going on and said loudly, "Every planet has its own resources consumed on a large scale. This could be for war or for self-reconstruction. Old Palace Master, don't forget that Xuanji Star was attacked by the separatist army and underwent a large-scale reconstruction afterwards. Is it wrong for me to consume more resources?"
It was precisely because of this cover-up that Chen An was able to unscrupulously supply resources to the train.
After he finished speaking, many people immediately stood up to help explain, especially Chu Xiao.
"Xia Zuo is right. Xuanji Star suffered heavy losses at the time, and the Xing Palace even reduced its tax revenue for several years."
Jiang Li looked uneasy and said calmly, "No matter what the situation is, Xia Zuo will never be cleared of suspicion of involvement with the train. In this case, the new Palace Master will let Mu Lin take over temporarily until Xia Zuo's case is fully investigated."
But everyone understands that once Mu Lin becomes the Palace Master, he will definitely not come down.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
No one present was a fool, and they could all see that Jiang Li was extremely biased towards Mu Lin.
But even if they knew, what could they do? Mu Lin was in charge of the army, Jiang Li represented the strongest force, and the officials who supported Chen An were so powerless.
However, just when they were about to give up, Zhu Die stepped forward.
Her face was full of frost and her aura was bursting, and she actually pushed back Jiang Li's pressure.
"Jiang Li, even if you want to promote your own son, you wouldn't be so casual, right?"
These words were like thunder, exploding over the Qixing Terrace.
Many people were extremely surprised, and only a few people showed no emotion, including Chen An.
He actually didn't know the identities of Jiang Li and Mu Lin before, but after invading the Star Tower through the key, he knew everything.
At this time, with Zhu Die's exposure, Jiang Li became furious.
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
Zhu Die reached out and pressed down her flowing hair, completely unfazed by Jiang Li's intimidation. She said, "How long do you plan to keep secret what you did?"
Jiang Li narrowed his eyes and asked, "How much do you know?"
"I know everything, because you planned everything, but you never imagined that under the rubble, there was a baby alive on its mother's blood."
Outsiders didn't know what this meant and looked at each other in confusion.
Jiang Li's eyes were fierce, and he raised his hand to shoot out dense rays of light, trying to kill Zhu Die.
Zhu Die ducked back, struggling to resist, and spoke faster, "That year, you were the governor of the Dark Night Star Region, ordered by your superiors to eliminate the star pirates. But on the way, you fell in love with a girl and became inseparable from her. The star pirate extermination lasted two years, and your child was born during that time. However, you discovered that the girl you were with had a unique identity. So, you not only killed her, but also wiped out her clan. To further protect the secret, you led three fleets to attack the Split Star Palace, resulting in the annihilation of all your forces. And yet, not only did you return safely, you were also promoted to Chief of Military Affairs..."
Jiang Li was trembling all over and looked at Zhu Die with murderous intent.
Zhu Die asked with a smile: "Am I qualified to speak now?"
