Chapter 38 Meeting Celilda
"The evidence is all here. So many people died outside. You are the mastermind."
"You dare not admit it, are you worthy of those who follow you in protesting?"
Hou Saiyin's lips trembled, his eyes rolled rapidly, and he knelt down in the direction of the Sultan with his head resting on his arms.
"Your Majesty, there was something just now that Wajixie wouldn't let me finish."
The Sultan said nonchalantly, "You said, whoever interrupts will die and be dragged out to feed the dogs."
Waji seemed to have a breath stuck in his throat, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, staring at the hand of the new-faced young man.
In the past, if this charge had fallen into the hands of His Majesty, it would have instantly angered the tyrant, who would have started a massacre.
Hou Saiyin's head will fall to the ground and roll, and he won't have the chance to say so many words.
This ninth Sultan has always been like this. He acts recklessly and arrogantly because he possesses mysterious and violent power.
Normally, I am the most impatient and just want to kill and see blood. What happened today?
Why did this new face show up to the criminal for confirmation?
Empress Saiyin said: "Your Majesty, my daughter Feng Tima came to the palace two weeks ago and died on the same day."
"It's because Waji Xi said that Your Majesty needs the daughter of a minister as a concubine. If you refuse, the whole clan will be implicated."
"I went to ask Waji for the body, but he said it didn't exist. I sent people to inquire, but they couldn't find anything."
"That's why it happened. As for why they were shouting about killing you..."
Hou Saiyin shook his head: "They don't just listen to me. I'm not the highest official."
Suddenly, he met the eyes of the white-skinned young man, and his mind moved, and he added something he didn't dare to say.
"In the past two years, Waji has been levying private taxes and resorting to lynchings. The people mistakenly believe that this was your Majesty's will, and they are forced to protest because they can no longer survive."
The conversation stopped here, and the entire place fell silent, so large that you could hear a pin drop.
After a moment of silence, the Sultan looked at Waji and asked, "What do you think?"
Wajixia slowly knelt on the ground, his expression calm, "Your Majesty, he saw that he was about to die, and he wanted to drag me down with him."
"Just send someone to investigate the matters concerning this minister. It will be clear soon."
As he said this, he looked at the guards.
Tu Xing followed his gaze and found that it was in the direction of Evander's five men.
The Sultan turned his head and looked at the ten guards, "Who will check?"
A man stepped out and half-bowed, "Your Majesty, your servant Evander has been ordered to investigate. I am at your service."
Tu Xing lowered his eyes to hide his expression. It was indeed this person.
"Then go ahead." Sultan said indifferently.
Seeing this, Tu Xing leaned in and whispered, "Your Majesty, if the matter of Waji Hafnium had always been investigated by Evander, I think the result would be the same this time. Let Lukman go as well."
The Sultan nodded and looked at the guards: "Lukman, you go too."
Everyone's attention was once again focused on the young man. Unexpected things happened frequently. Obviously, the key point was this young man with a new face.
Tu Xing looked outside. It should be almost midnight now. It was really tiring.
The rebellion was a serious matter and the trial was urgent, but the Sultan took too long to vent, so it was delayed until now.
Thinking of this, Tu Xing felt a little sleepy and put the paper in his hand back on the original plate. In fact, Sudan already knew the general content of the letter, and now that the direction had changed, there was no need to read it.
Sleepiness began to creep in, and I wondered whether I should leave.
He has already changed the direction of decision-making on the biggest issue in this matter. There is no need to devote himself to someone he is not familiar with.
Tu Xing leaned closer to the person's ear again, "Your Majesty, I'm a little sleepy, I'll go back to your bed first."
The corner of Sudan's mouth curled up, perhaps because the latter part of the sentence successfully pleased him, and he tilted his head slightly, "Wait."
He stared straight ahead and gave a clear order: "We will conduct a retrial tomorrow. Hold Hou Saiyin and Wajixia separately and no one is allowed to approach them."
Everyone responded in unison, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Tu Xing blinked, probably because it would take time for Lukeman and the other man to verify, so the matter had to come to an end.
The Sultan stood up and looked at the people, "Let's go."
They walked towards the rest room, and when they reached the door, Tu Xing followed him in naturally, and the guards behind him stopped outside the door.
Sultan sat on the bed and patted the bed, "Come up."
Tu Xing paused, wondering why he had agreed to come in. It seemed like he hadn't found a place to stay, so he subconsciously chose this place.
No, that's not right. The Sultan said he wanted to live together.
This scene made Tu Xing suddenly feel a strong swelling somewhere. He glanced around and said, "It hasn't recovered yet. I'll find a place for you to rest."
A deep laugh was heard, and the golden and black man said, "Pure sleep."
Hearing this, Tu Xing glanced at the bed and saw that it was big enough for three adults to lie down.
After hesitating for a moment, he stepped forward, shook off his backpack, and kicked it gently under the bed.
…
After a good night's sleep, the young man woke up with blurry vision. He glanced to his side, but there was no one there.
He curled up and continued to take a nap. When he was rested enough, he got up, pulled out the package, and lay on the floor beside the bed to look at the ring.
The only red gem, recalling Lukman's words, "...a tribute from the Boyi, claimed to amplify magic... Celilda's magic power is exhausted."
Tu Xing carefully observed the inner structure, the pure and uniform color, and the changing light, revealing small bubbles scattered throughout.
He tried to wear it on his finger, but because of the size of the ring, he could only wear it on his index finger.
Nothing happens, no light or shadow changes.
In addition to retracing the pocket watch, consider returning these items to Celilda sometime.
Of course, the prerequisite is to confirm whether this woman is doing anything bad and whether these things are obtained through normal channels.
After all, she used black magic to control the Sultan and forced herself on a married woman during their first encounter.
What kind of good person would force others?
Tu Xing shook his head and continued to ponder Lukeman's words, "Boyi? It's a place name. I'll go there and ask more about it when I get a chance."
He put the ring back and took out the newly found blue diamond.
There was no shadow floating above, and I recalled what kind of scene appeared before me...
Killings, large numbers of people died.
The color is so bright and vivid, but it also has a strong sense of ominousness. I even worry that carrying it with me all the time may have an impact on my body.
How about meeting Celilda today? Let's start by learning the basics.
Thinking of this, Tu Xing took out the retrospective pocket watch and adjusted it to ten hours. Then, he put all the important things into the compartment in advance.
He walked out of the room and faced the guards on both sides.
This time, the guards' attitude was obviously three times more attentive and respectful.
Yaxin said with a smile: "You are out. His Majesty is in the front hall on this floor, listening to the reports from Lukeman and Evander."
Tu Xing nodded, "Where is Celilda?"
Yaxin looked at the person next to him, and Talal raised his head and said, "I'll take you there."
Tu Xing saw that it was him and glanced at him coldly, "Okay, thank you."
As Duan walked out, one in front and one behind, two people came over immediately.
Tu Xing looked closely and saw that they were Zhai Ka and Ye Qide who had followed him out of the palace.
The two nodded and greeted Tu Xing, then followed silently behind him.
