One day passed quickly.
During this day, new news about the Shangguan family and the royal family spread rapidly in the streets and alleys of Dajin City.
At this time, everyone knew that the emperor threatened to confiscate the Shangguan family and exterminate the entire family.
Of course, everyone knew that the emperor gave the Shangguan family three days to prepare.
After putting these two pieces of news together, everyone was shocked.
Did the emperor take the wrong medicine? How could he make such a decision?
Since he wanted to confiscate the Shangguan family and exterminate the clan, he should arrest the Shangguan family ancestors on the spot, and then send troops to besiege the Shangguan family's residence.
This gives the other party three days to prepare. Does it mean that the other party has no time to rebel?
The Shangguan family is not an ordinary family.
There is one Saint Yuan realm and several psychic and Tong Yuan realm martial arts cultivators.
Give them time to prepare, and then maybe the emperor will raid their homes and exterminate their clan.
Instead, the Shangguan family in turn removed the emperor from his position.
For a time, the restaurants and tea shops were full of voices discussing this matter.
Everyone who knew something about national affairs participated in the discussion.
After all, something like this is rare not only in a hundred years, but also in a thousand years.
"You tell me, Your Majesty, he is not bewitched by a traitor, right? Otherwise, how could he make such a decision?"
Everyone involved in the discussion did not dare to point the finger at the emperor, so they felt that the emperor might have been bewitched by treacherous ministers and traitors.
"I think this is very possible, otherwise the Holy Spirit wouldn't have done this."
"I also think it's possible."
"Me too."
"I don't think so. I think it may be that the ancestor of the Shangguan family has some unknown means, which forced the Holy One to take this step."
"This is unlikely. If the ancestor of the Shangguan family was really that powerful, he could have rebelled on the spot. Why has there been no movement until now?"
"..."
Everyone in the discussion could not come to a unified conclusion.
Mainly because no one has ever encountered such a thing, and there is no history to follow, so we can only speculate based on imagination.
And just when no one could come up with a strong statement, a well-informed person suddenly spread a bombshell news.
According to this well-informed person, both the Shengshang and Shangguan families are investigating the head-lowering technique.
The emergence of this news instantly triggered a discussion.
People couldn't help but wonder if the emperor made such a decision because he had fallen under the influence of a head-lowering spell.
But then the question arises, who used the head-lowering technique on the emperor.
Who is that person that has such magical powers?
You must know that the emperor is a Saint Yuan realm martial arts cultivator with top strength. Who can bow down to him?
For a time, all the topics of discussion turned to this aspect.
While everyone was talking in the streets, Jin Haoming in the palace and Shangguan Jinming of the Shangguan family also got the news.
Shangguan family.
Secret meeting room.
"I didn't expect that the dog emperor was also investigating the head-lowering technique?!"
A clan elder in the secret meeting room said in surprise.
Like him, other clan elders present were also surprised by the news.
Although they thought the emperor had a problem, they didn't expect that the emperor himself knew that he had a problem.
This seems to indicate that the person who surrendered the emperor has failed?
If not, how could the emperor realize that he had been demoted?
If he had not failed, shouldn't the emperor have been in a state of being demoted?
Shangguan Jinming looked at all the clan elders and said: "If nothing else, it at least shows that our speculation is correct. The emperor is very abnormal this time."
"Yes, the dog emperor went to investigate this matter himself, which is enough to explain the problem."
Many people turned around one after another.
But at this time, a clan elder reminded: "There is another possibility, that is, the Dog Emperor deliberately used such behavior to confuse us."
"You can think about it carefully. Since that dog emperor gave us three days, it's not good for him to openly go back on his words."
"If we deliberately investigate the head-lowering technique now, it will give us an illusion and make us unprepared."
As soon as these words fell, Shangguan Jinming immediately shook his head and said: "The possibility you said is possible, but it is very small, because there are many ways for the emperor to regret it, and there is no need to make it so complicated."
After saying that, he turned to look at Shangguan Boshan and said, "Have you investigated the source of this matter clearly?"
Shangguan Boshan immediately replied: "Ancestor, we have completely investigated it."
"Tell me something." Shangguan Jinming gestured.
Shangguan Boshan stood up immediately, then looked at all the clan elders and said: "According to what I have investigated so far, the source of this incident is that a young man of unknown origin came forward to provoke our Shangguan family."
"The four domestic slaves who were present at the time were provoked by the man and wanted to teach him a lesson. Unexpectedly, the man was so eloquent that he made it difficult for them to do anything with just a few words."
"After the four domestic slaves at the back came back to report, Rong Ren took people over to check the situation."
"As a result, those four slaves didn't know what evil they possessed. They turned their guns around and beat Rong Ren to death in the street in front of everyone."
"Looking at it now, those four people should have also been affected by the head-lowering technique."
As soon as Shangguan Jinming's words came out, the clan elders present immediately looked at each other in confusion.
They hold high positions and don't care about the little things in the clan, so they have no idea what the source of the matter is.
When they heard the news, their minds were filled with questions about why Cui Tianzhi dared to beat Shangguan Boming to death in the street, and what the emperor's attitude was.
After finding out the emperor's attitude later, they were eager to discuss how to deal with the matter and why the emperor did what he did.
It can be said that I never thought about the root cause of the matter from beginning to end.
As a result, Shangguan Boshan now said that the four domestic slaves had their heads lowered.
A clan elder stood up and asked, "Are those four slaves still there?"
"They took advantage of the chaos and ran away. We are still searching for their whereabouts, but I'm afraid there won't be any news in a short time."
Shangguan Boshan replied.
"Run away?"
Many clan elders groaned.
However, it is easy to understand such a result. After all, the situation was very chaotic at the time, and no one had the heart to care about those small characters.
"What about the unidentified young man?" Another clan elder asked.
"She's also missing. I'm arranging for people to search for her."
Shangguan Boshan explained.
Upon hearing this, several clan elders immediately said: "That is most likely the head-lowering technique performed by that young man."
"Yes, it's very possible. Since the incident happened because of him and he was at the scene at the time, he is indeed the most suspicious."
"We must find that person."
"..."
As soon as they finished speaking, several clan elders spoke up and gave objections.
"I think that person was just to divert attention. You can think about it carefully. If it was really him who lowered his head, how did he sneak into the palace and attack the emperor?"
"Yes, if that person's strength can easily sneak into the palace and bow down to the emperor, then he is stronger than the Saint Yuan realm. How can there be such a strong young man in this world?"
