However, the dilemma was still in front of them, and the two were quiet for a while.

At this moment, the study ban suddenly flickered, Zhang Long's eyes sank slightly, he still waved his hand to unlock the ban, and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter, you want to disturb the old man at this time?"

"Master, Gu Lun, who followed Young Master Zhanglin, is back and is waiting in the side hall to ask to see him. Outside the door, the courteous voice of the big butler came.

Zhang Long's eyes instantly showed a little chill, although Zhang Lin was not the son he valued the most, but after many years of training, the relationship between father and son was naturally much stronger than that of other sons. What's more, Zhang Lin's death this time is really strange.

"Let him come to the study and talk back. ”

"Yes. ”

The footsteps went away in a hurry, and after a while, Gu Lun pushed the door in, walked quickly to the two real power controllers of the Zhang family, knelt down with "poof", and said respectfully, "Gu Lun sees the head of the family, see the second head of the family!" buried his head deeply, his demeanor revealed enough respect, but his face couldn't help but turn slightly pale.

"Gu Lun, what is going on with Zhang Lin's death? Tell the old man the truth, and you must not hide it at all!" Zhang Long said in a low voice, a cold light surging in the depths of his eyes. Although they had been informed of the report, they were vague and did not know what it was about.

Gu Lun's heart trembled slightly, he understood that now was the critical moment of his life and death, so he naturally did not dare to delay, "Back to the head of the family, the fire clan intercepted and killed the monk on the agreed period that day, and blasted away the starship array with a sky-breaking arrow, and the black mist and smoke filled the air" This person spoke respectfully, telling the story of the day in its entirety.

"That's the way it is, and my subordinates don't dare to hide it. ”

The faces of Zhang Long and Zhang Xing instantly became extremely ugly, Great Wei had already exceeded their expectations by sending Red Lotus to assassinate them, and a person who could fight Red Lotus head-on and force him back suddenly appeared on the Star Boat!

This person is the biggest change in the whole plan!

Who is he?

Zhang Long and Zhang Xing's thoughts turned sharply, and they didn't know where they thought, their faces became extremely ugly at the same time, and when they looked at each other, they could see the vibration in each other's hearts.

Could it be that the person who made this sudden attack was a monk sent by His Majesty?

Other than that, they couldn't think of anything else. And in this way, there is a reasonable explanation for where His Majesty got the evidence and punished the Zhang family heavily.

Thinking of this, the two of them felt cold in their hearts. Fortunately, this time, they only had a tacit cooperation with the Fire Clan, and did not mix the interests of other aspects, otherwise they would be noticed by His Majesty, even if they have the face of the ancestor and the friendship of the little sister, I am afraid that the best result waiting for them at this moment is to be removed from all official positions and be an idle rich man!

For a while, the two of them had chosen to acquiesce to Zhang Lin's death.

Since it was His Majesty's action, what could they do even if they knew? Perhaps this was also a bloody warning to the Zhang family not to make other attempts to provoke the limit of his patience.

The atmosphere in the study was suddenly solemn.

Gu Lun's face was pale, a dense layer of sweat beads appeared on his forehead, the inner lining of his robe had been wet with sweat, and his whole mind was shrouded in fear, he gritted his teeth at this moment, and said in a deep voice, "The head of the family, the subordinates suspect that the cause of the young master's death announced by the lady afterwards was purely fabricated, and there is definitely another reason for the death of the young master Zhang Lin!"

Zhang Long frowned, and slowly spoke, "What did you find, say!"

"The subordinates sorted out the body of the young master afterwards, and sensed a spirit pill in the young master's body that had not completely dissolved. Obviously, after being hit hard, Young Master Zhang Lin did not die immediately, and he still had the strength to refine the elixir in his body to recover from his injuries. But after that, someone took action and killed the young master. ”

"You're saying that Zhang Lin was killed after being injured?"

"The subordinates are not absolutely sure, but according to the facts, this is the case. ”

Zhang Long's brows were furrowed, his face was gloomy, and the expression in his eyes was cloudy and uncertain. If His Majesty sent a monk to attack and directly killed Zhang Lin when he noticed his movements, he would definitely not give him any chance to resist. In this way, it seems that there is something else hidden in his death.

"Gu Lun, do you know something, just say it. If you can provide useful information, the old man will forgive you for the death penalty. ”

Gu Lun was ecstatic in his heart, but he didn't dare to show anything on his face, his expression became more and more respectful, and he said: "After the events of the day, the subordinates did not dare to show any different colors, but secretly conducted a detailed investigation of the events of the day. The subordinates asked the guards who were guarding the surviving lady at the time of the assassination, and they all sensed the strong aura fluctuations that erupted from the lady, and it should be Xiao Chen, the prince of Qingyun, who intervened and repelled the assassin. But afterwards, the matter was not mentioned at all, but the young master became a victim of fighting with the assassin to protect his wife. Therefore, his subordinates boldly speculated that perhaps because the Fire Clan assassin was stopped by a mysterious monk that day, the young master was unwilling to fail and went to assassinate his wife in person, but was detected and repelled by Xiao Chen, and was later found by this person, and killed Young Master Zhanglin quietly in the black fog!"

He made this deduction, naturally it was not fabricated out of thin air, it was naturally made after collecting a lot of evidence and adding his understanding of Zhang Lin's mind.

Yu Luo, for fear that his deduction would not be convincing enough, he continued to speak, "Young Master Zhang Lin had a grudge with Xiao Chen when he was in the border army camp, and he definitely had sufficient motivation to do this. Moreover, Madame's explanation afterwards was more like a desire to cover up, pushing the young master's death onto the unwarranted assassin, and then washing away the suspicion on Xiao Chen's body. ”

Zhang Long and Zhang Xing's faces were solemn, they were naturally quite clear about Zhang Lin's temperament, and at this moment, he thought that with his temperament, coupled with his previous preparations, he could see through the obstacles of the black fog and smoke, and it was very likely that he would not be willing to fail and take risks when things were blocked!

Gu Lun's inference is most likely to be the truth.

But thinking of this at this moment, the two of them were cold in their hearts.

Fortunately, Zhang Lin did not succeed, otherwise if he really killed his wife, what was waiting for the Zhang family would definitely be His Majesty's wrath, and the entire Zhang family would be burned to ashes in this anger!

Xiao Chen stopped Zhang Lin and killed him, so that there was no proof of his death now, coupled with his wife's remarks afterwards, the coffin of Zhang Lin's death has been closed. Even if they knew that the Zhang family had done it secretly, they would not be able to attack the Zhang family on this matter in the future.

In such a careful calculation, Xiao Chen's killing of Zhang Lin was beneficial and harmless to the Zhang family.

But the Zhang family obviously won't be grateful for this, no matter what, if Xiao Chen kills Zhang Lin, they will definitely not give up!

"Okay, I have a lot of merit for you to follow Zhang Lin, and it is also meritorious to find out the cause of his death this time, and the old man will spare your life. But you won't stay out for the time being, and you'll stay out of the limelight for the time being. ”

Zhang Long's eyes flashed slightly, and he said lightly.

Gu Lun was overjoyed, kowtowed again and again, and said, "Thank you, sir!"

Zhang Xing waved his hand, and the person saluted again, then carefully took two steps back, opened the door and wanted to retreat.

But at the moment when the door opened, the space in front of Gu Lun suddenly collapsed and sank inward to form a black hole, from which the terrifying devouring power exploded instantly, but it did not spread too much, only enveloping the figure of this person.

With a face full of horror and despair, Gu Lun didn't react at all, and his entire body was already swallowed into the black hole. The terrifying tearing and strangling power erupted, directly shattering his body, and the primordial gods were wiped out together.

The next moment, the black hole suddenly disappeared as if it appeared without warning.

The space returned to calm, and a handsome young figure with an expressionless appearance appeared, and if you looked closely, you could find that his eyebrows and eyes were quite similar to the dead Zhang Lin.

This person is Zhang Tang!

The chief butler and the guards outside the study bowed their heads tightly, their faces turned slightly pale, and their eyes were fixed on the ground and they did not dare to make a sound.

Zhang Tang's expression was calm, he stepped into the study, the door closed behind him, and he saluted Zhang Long and Zhang Xing respectfully, and said, "Zhang Tang sees my father, I see my uncle." ”

"Yu'er!" Zhang Long's face instantly became extremely gloomy, "My father has promised Rao Gulun not to die, how can you kill him!"

"Gu Lun is Zhang Lin's personal guard, and he should have used his life to protect the safety of his master, but now that Zhang Lin is dead, he should not continue to live. Zhang Tang bowed his head slightly, and said softly: "Even if Gu Lun can be forgiven by his father and can not die, but he knows too many secrets of my Zhang family, could it be that my father can really let him be safe? ”
