Chapter 1298: To Dress as a Man
Even though Xu Yu see on the surface, he wasn’t really asking for the otherthe chance to consult Zhuxie Chixin
Sang Hong frowned In a moment of desperation, he had used the pretext of an Embroidered Envoy mission to cover for Zu An’s sudden disappearance Either way, Xiao Jianren and Zu An had a good relationshi+p and wouldn’t expose him He hadn’t expected Xu Yu to ask Zhuxie Chixin directly
After his initial alarm, however, he quickly calmed down Zhuxie Chixin was his majesty’s trusted aide, so he would definitely speak in favor of Zu An
Unexpectedly, however, Zhuxie Chixin voiced his surprise “There was so like that? I have not received any reports from the Eht be because the situation is so urgent that he has not been able to report anything yet”
Sang Hong widened his eyes He had thought that even if Zhuxie Chixin said so, he would have chosen a neutral position Who would have thought that he would actually reply that way?
Zhuxie Chixin was the Chief Coed number one He had absolute control over the Embroidered Envoy If someone like him said that perhaps his subordinates hadn’t issued a report yet, would anyone believe that?
Sure enough, a co Qi’s faction when they heard that The officials all got worked up, de that the court condemn Zu An for his cri of ure for sohad ood chance?
Bi Linglong glanced at the emperor in disbelief Without the emperor’s incitement, there was no way so like that
Zu An had done so ht not know about that, but how could hisQi’s faction to condemn Zu An Then, in the future, wouldn’t that make all those ere loyal to the royal fa’s ears were ringing When he heard that the eotten a bad feeling Still, he hadn’t expected the eether in this matter! At this point, not even a daoist immortal’s descent could save Zu An!
Just then, the Central Secretariat assistant Director Pei Lian stepped forward He said, “Fifth brother, as the City Lord of Cloudcenter City, you should know best about the things that have happened here Why not tell us what exactly happened?”
The fifth brother he spoke of was, of course, Pei Shao The two of them were both the sons of Waterfront Duke, Chief Attendant Pei Zheng The Pei clan’s Waterfront Duke’s line was publicly known to be a core supporter of King Qi’s faction
Pei You had a hopeful expression in his eyes when he saw his grandfather, I he would say soroup was also close to the crown prince’s side However, his grandfather didn’t show any signs of speaking up Considering his understanding of his grandfather, that meant he planned to just watch fro also looked at the Guard General Liu Yao expectantly However, he knew that during the Brightmoon City trip, his maternal uncle had been embarrassed quite badly because of Zu An, so he had never been too fond of Zu An Even though Zu An had saved Gao Ying in the dungeon, he was nothingoff of their charity and his words carried no weight Sure enough, Liu Yao also see happen
Pei Shao coughed lightly and said, “Ahe to what this humble official knows, Sir Xu kept Yu Yanluo in custody; the security was incredibly strict, with guards acting covertly and overtly However, she ended up being broken out, so we all suspect that the one who saved her s of the prison That means it must have been soh Otherwise, they would not have been able to know the details so clearly”
Even though he hadn’t answered the question directly, the implications were extre to strike while the iron was hot “When that witch Yu Yanluo was first captured, Zu An tried to save her He did not even hesitate to openly declare that he would go against the court That is so many Cloudcenter officials can attest to”
Those sareement
Xu Yu continued, “If we then consider Yu Yanluo’s rescue and Zu An’s disappearance, and how Sir Sang has fabricated all kinds of lies to protect hi on”
Sang Hong protested angrily, “Then are you saying that I have conspired with Sir Zu, and colluded with the fiend races in betraying the country?”
Xu Yu shook his head and replied, “Thatprobably did what you did for the sake of cherishi+ng talent, and that hy you covered for Zu An However, you could never have expected hiraceful”
Xu Yu knew that Sang Hong’s relationshi+p with the other officials wasn’t good However, he ell known for his dedication and loyalty toward his majesty No one would believe Xu Yu if he tried to attack hi’s face darkened He knew that the situation was already irredee he could do was to try his best to stall for ti when the emperor spoke “This emperor recalls that there were some other Embroidered Envoys ent as well, no? Have them come out and speak”
Zhuxie Chixin obviously kneho had been sent Xiao Jianren quickly stepped forward and said, “Reporting to yourthis journey, Sir Zu conducts hinanimously He upholds justice for the common people Someone like that definitely would not collude with the fiend races and betray this country”
