Bang!

A fist slammed down on the table.

"Davis is dead! Or died in my Star Luo Royal Academy! How dare that thief be so bold! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall silently lowered their heads and did not say a word.

Although the speaker said angry words, he didn't have much expression on his face, just a cold face.

Or rather, he has long been accustomed to not showing his mood.

He is the emperor of this Xingluo--- Dai Yi! (Did the name of the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire appear in the original work?) I didn't find it, so let's call it this for now. ）

After Davis and the others died, the person Jiang Qianhai felt was him.

Earlier, Davis looked for him and begged him to help Zhu Zhuyun leave a back hand, if Zhu Zhuyun died, this back hand could be found in an instant.

He didn't know why, he never thought that someone would dare to assassinate the prince in the imperial capital!

Kill Davis, the eldest prince who has the most hope of becoming the crown prince!

Of course, he was not angry that his son died, but that the man dared to kill people in the imperial capital!

You must know that killing an ordinary person in the imperial capital is slapping him in the face, let alone a prince?

If he can't find the murderer, his royal family will lose face, and at that time, what else will he use to control the empire?

Even if no one dares to say anything openly, they will definitely be poked in the backbone behind their backs!

If people can kill the prince in the imperial capital and not be caught, will their emperor also be assassinated?

This is not to mention the aristocrats, who will absolutely secretly condemn the incompetence of the royal family, and even think that they should not have it.

Dai Yi swept his courtiers with cold eyes, and had already expected this scene.

He didn't do any useless work, and ordered a courtier at random.

"Go and call the head of the Zhu family!"

"Yes!"

The man saluted, turned around and breathed a sigh of relief.

That kind of atmosphere, he has not felt since he took office, and he is really panicked.

Dai Yi saw this person's performance in his eyes, and didn't say anything, as if he didn't see it.

"The murderer must be found, and quickly, otherwise where is the majesty of the royal family." Dai Yi looked down at the ministers: "Whoever can provide clues to the murderer, I will be rewarded!" ”

Everyone in the audience looked at each other, and no one stood up for a while.

"Vice Dean, it happened not long after you left, can you tell me what enemies the eldest prince has provoked recently?"

The vice president of the plant-type martial soul who fought with Davis before had a bitter face, and he was a sparring partner, how do you know what enemies the eldest prince has?

Isn't that embarrassing him?

But there was no way, he could only step forward: "Back to Your Majesty, at that time, the minister was summoned by His Majesty, and I didn't know the clues." ”

"Stand down."

Dai Yi was still expressionless, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

"The head of the Zhu family has arrived!"

"See Your Majesty!"

The head of the Zhu family, dressed in black heavy armor, came to the ministers, and then began to salute.

"Aiqing, do you know why I summoned you?"

"I don't know."

"Your eldest daughter is dead."

The head of the Zhu family was shocked, and his expression was a little incredulous.

"Zhuyun is dead? How did he die? ”

"Burned to ashes by the Assassins, the Grand Prince was also killed in this attack." Dai Yi looked at the face of the head of the Zhu family: "Does Aiqing know the news of the murderer?" ”

The head of the Zhu family hurriedly bowed his head: "Minister, I don't know." ”

"No, I think you do."

Dai Yi had a smile on his face, and his expression was inexplicable.

The head of the Zhu family's brain spun rapidly, looked up at Dai Yi's expression, and suddenly felt a pang in his heart.

He got it!

This time the point is not to find the murderer at all!

Although his daughter's death made him a little sad, it didn't seem to matter now.

The head of the Zhu family considered his words, and then said:

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister suddenly remembered, and the minister seemed to have some impressions, maybe it might be a clue."

The smile on Dai Yi's face became a little more real: "Aiqing, please speak!" ”

"The minister caught a few travelers a few days ago, suspected of being spies of the enemy country, I don't know if it has anything to do with the assassination of the prince today."

"Oh? Have you ever asked which country it is to spy on? ”

Hearing the emperor then ask, the head of the Zhu family said in his heart Sure enough, his direction was right.

"Back to Your Majesty, the trial has come out, most of those people were sent by the Heaven Dou Empire, and their purpose is unknown."

"Humph! What a Heaven Dou Empire! The Star Luo Empire flicked its sleeves angrily: "There are so many secret agents, they must have prepared for today's assassination early!" actually assassinated the crown prince of our country, if we don't ask for an explanation, what face do we Xingluo have to claim to be an empire! ”

The courtiers looked at each other again.

Courtier A: Is this really the case?

Courtier B: What does Your Majesty say, what is it, and does the truth matter?

Courtier C: Fool, it's still there!

Courtier B was slightly stunned, looked around, and saw people who complained about the Heaven Dou Empire, some people said that Xingluo had been bitter for a long time, and some people said that Tiandou died and my Xingluo's heart was immortal, and the ambition of the wolf son was obvious!

"I saw and heard the suffering of Zhong Aiqing, that day the Dou Yang Empire actually committed such a villainous act, I will definitely seek justice for our Xingluo!"

"But it's not too early, I think I'm tired of coming to Aiqing, let's step back today."

Everyone said yes.

"The head of the Zhu family stays."

······

The ministers retreated, and only Dai Yi and the head of the Zhu family were left in the main hall.

In the silence, the head of the Zhu family took the lead in speaking: "I don't know what Your Majesty left me?" ”

Dai Yi sighed, walked to the head of the Zhu family, and patted him on the shoulder with a sad expression.

"Do you think I'm too cold-blooded?"

The head of the Zhu family was expressionless: "No, I know that everything Your Majesty has done is for the sake of the empire." ”

"Look, you're all strained, don't you just think I'm cold-blooded?" Dai Yi seemed to have taken off his disguise: "My son is dead, I know your feelings, but in my position, I have to leave my children's private feelings behind, if you want to hate me, then hate." ”

"Do you know how difficult it is to be able to quietly assassinate a prince in such a heavily guarded place in Star Luo City, and even under my protection, the other party can escape safely without even catching a shadow?"

The head of the Zhu family pursed his lips: "Minister, you can't do it." ”

Dai Yi shook his head: "Not only can't you do it, but I can't do it either, the other party's strength is likely to be above me." ”

"Isn't there any clue at all?"

The head of the Zhu family frowned and asked.

"The martial soul of the assassin is related to fire."

"Gone?"

"It's gone."

Dai Yi shook his head, not wanting to talk about this sad matter, so he jumped away from the topic.

"Any questions?"

The eyes of the head of the Zhu family flashed: "Your Majesty, are we going to go to war with Tiandou?" ”

Dai Yi laughed: "Do you think so too?" ”

But then his tone changed: "Of course not, between Tiandou and us, it is not beneficial for anyone to go to war. ”

"Then why..."

Dai Yi's face suddenly turned cold: "For self-preservation!" Let's also try to see if the Heaven Dou Empire has also noticed that the Martial Spirit Hall is too ambitious! ”
