Chapter 19: Emergency Discussion

The imperial government hall was full of people at this time, and ministers were chatting. The ministers were asking what happened today when the emergency government was urgent.

There was a low voice in the Imperial Hall of Government Affairs, and the ministers were chatting enthusiastically. Many people were well-informed and spread the things that happened in the Feather noble area. From time to time, low amazement came from the entire hall of Government Affairs.

With the eager chat, the entire congress hall became louder and louder. Many ministers were indifferent to the death of aristocrats and were chatting about various gossips.

The ones who care most about this matter are Prince Bit and Prime Minister Kukor. Both of them observe these ministers with serious expressions.

After receiving the news, Prince Bit immediately became worried for Kong Ming. The charge of shooting high aristocrats was quite serious. He sent someone to investigate overnight, but because the onlookers did not see clearly what was going on, they insisted that Kong Ming shot Aiyana.

However, as for Kong Ming's understanding, Prince Bit was sure that this was definitely not done by Kong Ming. With Kong Ming's mind, he kept a handle on the street and was definitely not something he could do. Prince Bit was sure that someone wanted to frame Kong Ming, and only Prince Dar could do so.

Prince Bit looked at Prince Dal who was talking to the people around him, hoping that he could see a clue from his face. Unfortunately, Prince Dal was smiling and chatting with the ministers around him. Prince Bit could not see any strangeness on his face.

Prince Dahl had long noticed Prince Bit's gaze on him, but there was no indication on the surface. Although Prince Dahl looked proud at this time, as if he was very happy for his marriage, his heart was extremely gloomy.

Prince Dahl said inwardly: "Hmph! Bit, with your cowardly personality, how can you inherit the Dragon Empire? The father chose you as the successor to the throne when he was blind. He also found reasons to ask me to investigate the theft of the library. It is obviously to take this opportunity to deprive me of my inheritance. You don't have to be proud, I will take back what I belong to me, and no one can take away what I deserve from my hands! You will pay the price you deserve!"

Prime Minister Kukor looked at Prince Bit, then looked at Prince Dal, and his heart became heavier. People with discerning eyes could tell what was going on at a glance. It seemed that Prince Dal could not help but take action. Now is the critical period for Prince Bit. After this time, Prince Bit can inherit the throne.

"Because Prince Bit has overwhelmed Prince Dal in political affairs in recent years, he is a little confident and thinks that victory is in his hands, but he doesn't know that now is his most dangerous moment. It seems that it is necessary to remind him!" Prime Minister Kukor thought worriedly.

A side door opened on the platform, and the magician Alfie walked out.

He was serious and yelled in a low voice: "Dragon Empire, His Majesty King Guti is here!"

The voices that blessed the wind magic were stirring in the conference hall, and the originally noisy conference hall immediately calmed down. Everyone stood up with a solemn expression, lowered their heads respectfully to welcome King Guti in unison.

The Gemini Sword Saint protected King Guti one after another and walked into the hall of the Disciplinary.

Holding a scepter and wearing a gorgeous royal robe, Guti walked to the high throne.

Looking at the quiet ministers, King Guti waved his hand and whispered, "Okay, sit down!" His voice was low, but it echoed clearly in the hall.

After saying that, King Guti sat on the throne that symbolized the power of the state. The ministers also sat down quietly, and for a moment, the hall of the government affairs was silent, waiting for King Guti's speech.

Sitting on the high throne, King Guti habitually swept across the faces of the ministers one by one. When he saw Dahl, King Guti frowned slightly.

In less than ten years, King Guti's obvious aging has become much older. In recent years, Shenlong's domestic and foreign troubles have made King Guti exhausted. The competition between princes has also caused King Guti to devote a lot of energy to observe and contain it.

Although encouraging the struggle between princes is beneficial to the future of the empire, King Guti has consumed countless minds, causing his health to become worse and worse over the years. He not only requires them to have room to perform, but also prevent them from hurting the empire's roots.

The Empire of Light has become increasingly powerful in recent years, and its covetous eyes on the entire continent has made King Guti poor to deal with. It is precisely because of the covetous eyes of the Empire of Light that King Guti temporarily gave up his investigation of the two princes and curbed the fight between them.

When King Guti looked at Prince Bit, his brows remained unrestrained. Bit also disappointed him. In politics, because he united the families of Hondu and Kukor, his strength was obviously overwhelming. However, his weak means and kind personality caused him not to capture all Dahl's confidants in one place while he had the advantage.

Looking at the two of them with a frown, King Guti shook his head slightly. In recent years, King Guti's physical condition has been getting worse and worse. The work of the house ended hastily and was a little overwhelmed. This also prompted King Guti to determine the successor of the throne as soon as possible. The strength of an empire requires a healthy and energetic monarch.

All the ministers were surprised when they saw King Guti pondering there. King Guti's performance today was very strange. His style has always been thunderous and decisive, but he didn't speak for a long time today. It seems that things today are difficult to deal with!

Because King Guti was speechless for a moment, all the ministers were also in a heavy heart. For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall of the government affairs seemed very depressing.

The magician Alfi looked at the ministers' depression, then looked at King Guti who was worried, and leaned close to King Guti's ear and whispered to wake up King Guti who was distracted: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

"cough!"

The cough of King Guti echoed in the hall, and everyone immediately turned their heads to look at King Guti, knowing that the king had something to say.

"Today, we are urgently recruiting everyone to discuss the murder of Kong Ming, the lord of Tianlai City in the Feaya noble area yesterday. The incident happened. Let the Minister of Justice Nan Siqi talk about it!" King Guti's voice was low and his face looked very ugly.

Minister of Justice Nan Siqi was around fifty years old. Because he was well maintained throughout the years, he still looked very young and looked only forty years old.

Minister of Justice Nan Siqi stood up, bowed respectfully to King Guti, and then said with a restrained look: "Yesterday I sent someone to investigate the whole thing, but the statement I got was completely different. But the general process was very clear, and this is the thing. Earl Kongming took Miss Yingyue, the youngest daughter of Marshal Hongdu, and a maid, to order clothes in Feiya District."

Minister of Justice Nan Siqi did not tell Princess Salilee that the matter involved would cause unnecessary trouble, so the tactful Nan Siqi concealed the incident of Princess Salilee on the scene. Everyone who has investigated Princess Salilee on the scene knew that, so there was no need to tell it. It was not a glorious thing for the princess of the Empire to accompany an earl to shop, so everyone avoided this sensitive topic.

"At that time, Count Niscao happened to pass by and saw the maid of Count Kongming. There might be some rudeness in their words, which triggered friction between them. At that time, Count Niscao had a conflict with Miss Yingyue, and was taught a lesson by Miss Yingyue. Later, Count Niscao's father, Marquis Aiana, passed by and immediately had a fierce battle with Count Kongming. It was during the fight that Count Kongming shot Marquis Aiana and died."

Minister of Justice Nan Siqi thought about it and continued: "The difference between the whole thing is that Miss Yingyue said that someone was assassinating Count Kongming in the dark at that time, and when Count Kongming was dodging, Marquis Aiyana was killed by accident. The others insisted that it was Marquis Aiyana who Count Kongming shot and killed. This is what happened."

After introducing the situation, the Minister of Justice Nan Siqi bowed to King Guti and sat down.

King Guti looked at Prince Dar. Others might not know the whole thing, but King Guti knew very well. That Niskao was Dar's confidant in other places, and the whole thing must be the ones behind Dar. Although others did not know the relationship between Dar and Niskao, King Guti knew it well.

"Okay, you all know the whole thing. Please take a look at how to solve this matter." King Guti said to the ministers.

The ministers looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all looking at each other. After a while, they began to communicate quietly with each other. As the number of people communicating increased, the sounds in the hall began to become noisy again.

King Guti had no intention of stopping them, but just sat there quietly thinking about something, which made the ministers even more presumptuous and the communication sounds became more noisy.

Prince Bit and Kukol made a few eyes with each other. Kukol looked at Kukol and wanted Kukol to get up and say a few words. Kukol immediately understood it.

Standing up, Kukor knocked on the heavy and sturdy wooden table in front of him.

"Bang bang."

The ministers who were talking in the hall turned to look at Kukol, and the noisy talk slowly calmed down. Everyone was waiting for Kukol's speech, and everyone knew that Kukol must have wanted to say good things for Kong Ming.

Kukor is now on the same front with Prince Bit, and everyone knows the relationship between Kong Ming and Prince Bit, so everyone knows that Kukor must want to get rid of the charges for Kong Ming.

Kukor respectfully saluted King Guti and said, "Dear Your Majesty, I think we should not draw conclusions and impose the blame on Earl Kongming before the whole matter was investigated clearly. Besides, Miss Yingyue mentioned that it was someone who wanted to assassinate Earl Kongming, which caused the Marquis Aiana to be implicated and caused death. Should we ask Miss Yingyue? Moreover, it was confirmed later that Earl Kongming did not carry a magic crossbow, so Aiana's death should have no direct relationship with Earl Kongming."

The Finance Minister Peters immediately stood up and said excitedly: "Mr. Kukor, you are getting rid of Kong Ming's charges! Lord Nan Siqi had already said just now. Everyone present insisted that Kong Ming shot and killed Marquis Aiana, and only Miss Yingyue testified for Kong Ming. I suspect that Miss Yingyue was also making perjury for Kong Ming. As for the fact that no weapon was found on Kong Ming, I think he must have thrown the weapon. Who would have brought it with him after the murder!"

The words of the Secretary of Finance Peters made everyone nodded, and they all agreed with Peters' words.

Kukol immediately turned his lips back and said, "That's how Lord Peters suspected Miss Yingyue was lying? Besides, the people at the scene were all ordinary people, and I think everyone knows the speed of the magic crossbow fire. Most people would not see crossbow arrows at all. So I chose to believe Miss Yingyue, and at that time she could only detect what was going on."

The ministers who were listening nodded again to Prime Minister Kukor's words. Ordinary people really cannot detect crossbow arrows, so it is normal for the onlookers to not see them.

At this time, the Magic Union President Mi Yesi Nan stood up and said in a dark voice: "I think Miss Yingyue's words are not trustworthy. Everyone knows that Miss Yingyue has been living in Tianlai City for the past few years. Moreover, she has a close relationship with Kong Ming, so she has enough reason to perjure Kong Ming, so I think Miss Yingyue's words are not trustworthy!"

Everyone frowned slightly. Since this sentence was true, it was also very rude to insult the daughter of the Imperial Marshal in public.

King Guti immediately frowned. The Miasnan spoke too ignorantly. If Hongdu was here now, he would not dare to say that. But if he said it now, if it was spread to Hongdu's ears, wouldn't this cause confrontation between the army and the magic union?

Although Marshal Hongdu is now on the border, several of his direct confidants still came to attend the meeting. A few people immediately jumped up and pointed at Miasinan's nose and started to curse.

These people are all military and have very hot tempers. They immediately want to rush up and beat Miasinan.

As soon as Miasi Nan said, he regretted it and knew that he had made a fuss. He just had resentment towards Kong Ming. He saw that he had the opportunity to take the blame, and he said it without thinking about it for a moment. Now, seeing Hongdu's subordinates were angry, he realized that he was speaking inappropriately.

Even King Guti looked slightly angry and immediately shouted in a low voice: "Okay! Sit down for me, see what kind of ethics you are! You have lost all the noble faces, and you were so harsh when you were discussing politics! And you, Miasan! Take care of your mouth, Miss Yingyue is not something you can insult at will!" With a majestic aura in his words, everyone immediately calmed down.
