Hoas an organization at that level so family should be implicated in? As expected, now that they were past the point of no return, they couldn't get rid of it even they wanted toHe always had a deep prejudice against the oldthem so close to the side of the Eldest PrincessAs for the Junshang Conference, he found it even more necessary to avoid

The old matriarch slowly closed her eyes”RelaxMrZhou's safety shouldn't be a problem” The old woman suddenly furrowed her brows and said hesitantly, ”There is one matter I still don't understand, why is the imperial envoy so certain that MrZhou is still hidden in Ming Garden?

The Overwatch Council's search of Ming Garden was not going s Zi Yue could feel the anger in the gazes of the people growing stronger and strongerFurther in the shadows could pull out their weapons and rush up at anythe ho the way they overturned tables and chests, and berated everyone in stern voices to return to their rooeveryone in Ming Garden

However, Deng Zi Yue was not worriedAs Coarden, he h the people looked at hi and hatred, no one dared to obstruct hi for a while, they had only searched half of it and had not found any trace of housekeeper Zhou

”I a Zi Yue said to the youngLanshi+, who had been beside hi Lanshi+ stared intensely at him and harshly said”What exactly do you want to do? Do you really think the Ming faarden lived the wo Lanshi+ used this as a pretext to kick up a fuss and angrily cursed out the Overwatch Council officialsDeng Zi Yue set his face and refused to budge even a single stepIn his hand he held a document written in Fan Xian's own hand on which was the imperial envoy's sealIt was sufficient excuse for a search

Of course, he couldn't search in the name of the Overwatch Council, he could only do it in the nanan

It must be noted that the Overwatch Council was not allowed to be involved in local governe civiltoday was asoldiers

The two sides faced off in front of the door to the back gardenThe Ming Garden guards had resisted for a long time and couldn't resist anymoreObscenities flowed out as they cursed endlesslyUnder the is and private soldiers that were supposed to stay hidden at the sides eed and completely surrounded almost 40 Overwatch Council officials in the center of the yard

Deng Zi Yue darkened his face and said coldly, ”Young …or are you prepared to resist the imperial edict?”

When the imperial envoy was out, they represented the E Lanshi+'s face turned green then whiteHe tightly gritted his teeth and acted sufficiently humiliated and ery voice, ”Go search! The heaven has eyes! I don't believe that the Overwatch Council won't have retribution in the future for bullying others through force!”

Why would Deng Zi Yue pay attention to all this? With his hand holding the hilt of his siarden

Unexpectedly, he had not gone 10 steps when soht into himHe saw the person wore the outfit and accessories of a servantBased on the quality of her clothing and appearance, she was also an iirl's face was deathly pale, and her eyes were lifelessShe charged toward the crowd crazily like she had seen a ghostShe cried out indistinctly, ”Dead! Dead! Dead!”

Dead?

Deng Zi Yue felt his heart jump and soirlIn a severe voice, he asked, ”What happened?”

There was a trace of the haughty air of a large faht now she seemed to have been overly shockedHer face was atime and couldn't say a complete sentenceShe could only shake uncontrollably in front of Deng Zi YueIf he had not ignored taboo and grabbed her arround already

The Overwatch Council people searching the garden did not recognize the girl, but the Ming family people knew her: she was the old matriarch's personal servant and one of her confidantesSuddenly, everyone fro her expression, they couldn't help being scared and wonder what exactly had happened

Ming Lanshi+ urgently grabbed the girl fro onto her collar, he asked, ”What's wrong? Who died?”

Deng Zi Yue stood at the side and watched with cold eyesA strange light flashed through his eyes

The girl servant was shaken by the young ained her sensesHer , she first burst intomaster, the old matriarch…the old matriarch, she…”

”What happened to the old irl servant struggled to finish her sentence, then her head tilted and she fainted in Ming Lanshi+'s arhtningHe stood there in a dazeFor a moment, he couldn't believe his own ears

The members of the six branches around him all looked at each other ide eyes and wide sIt seemed they did not kno to use a shocked expression to express their current inner feelings

The old one!

The yard re timeThe first cry suddenly exploded out and was followed by rising criesIt was like a grand chorus of singingThe miserable cries and sobs rose and fell in successionMany people sat down in shock, unable to stand up again noGarden was enveloped in an ate

Other than the Fourth Ming , as beside the old matriarch, masters from the four branches were presentThese fourLanshi+, they lifted their long gowns and charged into the back garden

Instantly, no one cared about the rule of not entering back garden without perive a cry for the hundreds of people who had appeared in Ming Garden to rush into the back garden accompanied by sobs

The Overwatch Council officials present looked at each other and had beco Zi Yue's pupil constricted and felt a sense of crisesWhen he had accepted his orders and caht that it would turn into such a situation

Although they didn't kno the oldZi Yue was sure that she had died too enious that the Overwatch Council wouldn't be able to avoid the responsibility if they tried

ALanshi+'s state of mind, which made more questions arise in the depths of his heart

The old Ming uards all rushed out and charged to the Overwatch Council's sideWith weapons and bows in their hands, they enveloped the Overwatch CouncilHatred flashed in their gazes

Deng Zi Yue furrowed his brows slightly and knew that if they htHowever, before they cas…shouldn't have developed like this

He made a proardenMing Garden was in a state of chaos, so no one had the ti Garden private soldiers holding weapons and watching the arden for a long tiround covered with kneeling people outside of a quiet little gardenHe couldn't help feeling a chill in his heartSweeping his gaze around, he saw in the large central roo white sash with a person hanging from the endIt was an old wo by her sideThe points of her feet pointed toward the ground, and she swayed in the air with the gentle spring breezeThe scene was just as creepy as it see eyes that refused to closeThe eyes were bloodshot frole before death and looked out full of hate and dissatisfaction

Coincidentally, they looked straight at the Overwatch Council officials outside the garden

Deng Zi Yue was arrested by the sight of the dead person's gazeHe quickly turned his head and ordered his subordinates to be prepared to break out at any ardenThe descendants knelt across the ground, sobbing their eyes out and endlessly koing

The old MingGarden would certainly hold the Overwatch Council responsible for this debtWith eh, no one kneould happenHowever, the path of retreat had long been blocked by the private soldiers, atched them like predators with eyes full of hatredIf they were to kill their way out, it would be difficult
