Vol 2 Chapter 91 (2/2)
”May I ask your name?” A servant had already poured tea for that official Fan Xian squinted at hied into” the Council, this was the first time he saw one of Council’s officials This official was see Fan Xian of his damned teacher Fei Jie
”My nahtly tanned skin He said emotionlessly, ”Due to the severity of your condition a few days ago, a few issues need to be be clarified, which is the reason for arding this”
Fan Xian frowned It looked like this official didn’t know about the connection between Fan htly, ”I am tired Let’s talk about this some other day”
Mu Tie didn’t seem to expect this refusal He appeared uneasy
Fan Xian waved his hand and asked, ”The Council and the ministry already sent their reports, what’s more to ask?”
”Some questions remain unanswered” This Mu Tie followed Fan Xian intensely with his eyes Fan Xian suddenly realized that the Overwatch Council was also suspicious about the archers But as the use in asking him? The only one he had seriously offended was Guo Baokun, who had a scholar’s background and wouldn’t conspire with Northern Qi As for the princes… that was a matter he could not speak of
Fei Jie had given hie Fan Xian took it out from under his pillow and tossed it over to the official ”We’re all on the sa to say, just say it”
Mu Tie hadn’t touched his tea Upon seeing the badge, his expression changed greatly He stood up, walked over to Fan Xian, and knelt down on one knee Putting his hands together, he saluted, ”I have seen Your Highness”
Fan Xian was greatly surprised by this display of respect; he didn’t think the badge would be so powerful Unknown to hi a level of power beyond the eight bureaus of the Overwatch Council Whoever possessed it held the saht bureaus; only Director Chen could give them direct orders It was no wonder that Mu Tie was so shaken at the sight of it and became so courteous
Signaling the official to rise, Fan Xian frowned ”When will Sir Fei Jie return to the capital?” It was his most important question; first of all, he could only improve Wan’er’s body, but not cure her of her illness Secondly, the capital was currently in a state of chaos Wu Zhu refused to be out in the open, and his father was hiding so of Fei Jie, as not in the capital
Hearing this youngabout Sir Fei, Mu Tie knew that the youth was an important person that the Council kept hidden It wasn’t unusual for organizations such as the Overwatch Council to cultivate so h-ranking one at that Mu Tie answered respectfully, ”It should be a few more days”
”Did you find out anything?” Fan Xian stared into the official’s eyes
Mu Tie replied, ”The Council received word too late The bodies of those archers had already been creht us to the patrol division and the clues ended there”
”Patrol division? Who’s in charge there?”
”Jiao Ziheng”
”Huh?”
Mu Tie gave Fan Xian a look, curious as to how the youth did not knoho Jiao Ziheng was, and answered, ”It probably isn’t one of the prince’s e and reaffir Fan Xian’s identity, the official didn’t question it any further This was the way the Overwatch Council did things; everything on the inside was strict and orderly
”You’re in charge of this case?” Fan Xian looked at the official with curiosity ”What rank are you?”
”Seventh ranked,” Mu Tie replied with a s errands”
”When will Si Lili return to the capital?” Fan Xian suddenly re alibi and looked worried
”They quickly fled Even if we caught them now, it would take some days for them to be taken back to the capital”
Looking at Fan Xian, Mu Tie did souess work of his own as to why anyone would conspire with Northern Qi to plot the assassination It see master was chosen by the Council to be developed as one of itsabout this had Mu Tie excited; he apparently thought of a way to advance his career Brazenly, he asked, ”Your Highness, while I don’t knohat your duties are in the capital, you are still new to the place If there is anything I can do to help, just give me the order”
Fan Xian asked, ”Then what about this case you’re working on?”
Mu Tie grinned, ”I can assign it to somebody else The Council orders the ihness’s status, asking ”
Fan Xian guessed what he was thinking right away and gave an uneasy set it, not even I knohat could be done If you soood does that do?”
His heart darkened as he thought about his three dead guards They had been with him since the day he entered the capital Now they were dead, and Fan Xian didn’t even remember their names
Fan Xian asked the ht flooded his roo deeply, Fan Xian forced hi To this enthusiastic official frouy by the na Qinian at the Council?”
