The guests in the main hall didn't know what happened, but they had all heard what King Haoyue said before about sealing the city.
It seemed that something urgent had happened, but I didn't know what it was.
Of course, no one asked much. They all came here to meet relatives and find beautiful women. As for whether to seal the city or not, they didn't bother to care.
"Everyone, let's continue." King Haoyue was very scheming. Even if this woman lost her goddaughter, she was not in a hurry and even continued.
You know, if you continue, when someone wins in the end, you will have to hand over your goddaughter. If you cannot hand it over by then, you will make a big joke and become a public enemy.
"Lord Haoyue City, please wait a moment!" Just when King Haoyue was about to continue, suddenly, a bearded man stood up. This man was two and a half meters tall. He had two beards connected to his heart hair.
His eyes were as big as copper bells. He stood up and exuded a strong aura.
This person turned out to be a Mahayana demon cultivator.
"Oh? What's the matter with you?" King Haoyue narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Before we begin, would you like to call out your goddaughter Cai Yi? Most of us sitting here have heard of her name for a long time, but have never seen her face. If the name is only in vain by then, wouldn't we have lost a lot of money?"
not worth?"
"Yes, yes, Bager is right. Let's meet the legendary girl Caiyi first."
"Yes, even though I didn't make it into the top ten, I paid a betrothal gift. In the end, I didn't even see Miss Caiyi's true face. Isn't it a loss?"
"Hahaha, King Haoyue, please bring your daughter out!"
Everyone in the main hall applauded loudly. They gave out the betrothal gift, but they still haven’t seen Liu Caiyi. According to legend, Liu Caiyi looks like an immortal, and has a body of water, but after all, they have never seen their true appearance.
It's just a false appearance, aren't they being fooled?
"That's right, godmother. It's okay to ask Miss Caiyi to come out and toast everyone." Mo Zheng and others also joined in. The wine was almost finished, and the real owner hadn't seen it yet. It couldn't be justified either emotionally or rationally.
Already.
At this time, King Haoyue's face became ugly, and he also glanced at the giant Bagel coldly, while the other eight guardians' faces also became serious.
"Sir, the statistics have been completed." At this moment, the housekeeper, Mr. An, ran in quickly with a hint of joy on his face, as if he had found something.
Seeing Manager An appear, King Haoyue let out a long sigh, and Manager An also handed a roster to King Haoyue, then whispered a few words into King Haoyue's ear, and pointed to the names on the roster.
name.
"I know, let's go down." King Haoyue suddenly laughed, and then motioned to Manager An to step back, while she sat down with a bold move and glanced at several of the guests.
"Well, Caiyi is not in a hurry to come out. A murder has just occurred in my palace. We still need to catch the murderer."
"What? Someone killed someone in the city lord's mansion?"
"God, who is this person? He is too brave, isn't he?"
"No wonder King Haoyue just wanted to seal the city. It turned out that someone killed someone in her house. This person is so bold."
"But depending on what King Haoyue meant, could it be that the murderer is still sitting there?" The people who were discussing were suffocated, and then immediately stopped talking. The sound of pindrops could be heard in the hall, and everyone was looking around strangely.
.
Chu Bai secretly breathed in. Did King Haoyue find out something?
"Bagel, Fu Qiang, Tian San, Lin En, please stand up, four of you."
"What do you mean?" The two-meter-tall giant Bagel was stunned and immediately frowned, while Chu Bai also stood up pretending to be confused.
Two others also stood up, one was Fu Qiang, a demon cultivator at the ninth level of Void Return, and the other named Tian San, a demon cultivator at the fifth level of God Transformation.
After a few of them stood up, they all became confused. They didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in King Haoyue's gourd. Could it be that they were murderers?
"Bager, did you leave the main hall just now? When we were reviewing in the back hall?" King Haoyue looked at him with dazzling eyes at this time. To be honest, this Bagel was the most suspicious, because not only did he have the highest cultivation level,
, and he was the one who took the lead in calling out Liu Caiyi just now, so when the two factors are combined, Bagel may be the real culprit who kidnapped Liu Caiyi.
Of course, the other three are also suspects, but the cultivation of the other three is not high. It seems difficult to take Liu Caiyi away silently.
"Going out? Why, you are not allowed to go out for fun? Do you suspect that the people in your house were killed by me? Are you kidding me? I, Bagher, have no grudges against you, so why should I kill your people?
?" Bagel was confident and not afraid of King Haoyue at all.
"Are you going out to show off?" King Haoyue sneered.
"Yes, I went out and peed in the corner behind the square outside the temple, isn't that okay?"
"Who can prove it?" King Haoyue said coldly.
"Proof? The boy behind you can prove it. He went with me. Your hut was too far away and I didn't like going there, so I peed in the corridor. What happened?"
"Is that so?" King Haoyue looked at the waiter and asked.
"Yes, yes, when Mr. Ba was in the middle of drinking, he wanted to go out for a walk. I followed him out, but when he walked outside to the corner, Mr. Ba peed there..." The waiter looked depressed and also said
His face was frightened. It was Bagel who looked so ferocious that he was frightened just by looking at him.
"Oh." King Haoyue nodded, then ignored Bager and looked at Fu Qiang who was on the ninth level of Void Return.
When Fu Qiang saw King Haoyue looking directly at him, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. It was King Haoyue's eyes that were so fierce that he even felt the suffocating death aura.
"Your name is Fu Qiang? Why did you go out just now?"
"Go back to the Lord of the City, I...I...I just went...to..." Fu Qiang stammered, looking hard to speak.
"Say!" King Haoyue slammed the table, and the Tribulation Domain locked Fu Qiang fiercely.
"I...I...I went to see my brother Fu Zhen. He...he was a guard at the adults' residence. We haven't seen each other for decades, so I...I met with my brother.
"
"Huh? Fu Zhen?" King Haoyue frowned, and Elder Zhu behind her immediately shouted to the outside of the hall: "Bring Fu Zhen here."
"Yes." Zhu Jiu accepted the order outside the palace, and then left in a hurry.
King Haoyue continued to look at Tian San, who was on the fifth level of divine transformation.
"What about you? Why did you go out?"
"Lord City Lord, please forgive me. This is the first time I have come to the City Lord's Mansion. I found this place to be too grand, so I wanted to walk around and have a look. When I get home, I can show off to my subordinates. I just want to see the world.
Ah, I'm not a murderer. Please check it out, Lord City Lord..." Tian San's cultivation level is not high. Although he transformed into a god, he really didn't have the courage to stand when facing King Haoyue's direct gaze.
He knelt down with a bang, his whole body shaking with fear.
"Who went out with him?" King Haoyue asked.
"It's the villain." A waiter knelt down and said: "Young Master Tian claimed that he had never seen the magnificent City Lord's Mansion, so he wanted to take a look, so the villain took Young Master Tian around the front house and the middle house.
There is a little person with you."
"Yes." King Haoyue still didn't express any opinion, but nodded lightly and looked at Chu Bai again.
"What about you, Mr. Lin?" King Haoyue called out Chu Bai's name directly. In fact, this boy was one of the top ten before, but he just quit automatically.
"Shh~" Chu Bai took a deep breath, puffed out his chest and said: "Returning to the Lord of the City, I was plotted against by my enemies last night and had a bad stomach, so I went to the latrine. This waiter can testify for me!
"
"Yes, yes, yes." The waiter behind Chu Bai immediately nodded and said: "Sir, Mr. Lin En went to the latrine before and pulled out countless filth. The smell was terrible and the bowels were rumbling. It was the villain who followed Mr. Lin there.
.”
"Poisoned? How do you know you are poisoned?" King Haoyue asked curiously.
"Returning to your Majesty." Chu Bai thought for a while and said: "In the past few days, I have lived with my slave in Huiyuan Building, but I met my father's old friend Lu'e by chance. She had some drinks with me, but in the morning
When I woke up, I felt abdominal discomfort. I also know that Lv'e likes to play tricks on people, and I came here to marry Miss Caiyi, so she must have put a laxative in the wine I drank, resulting in diarrhea today.
The diarrhea doesn’t stop.”
"Oh." King Haoyue nodded noncommittally. From Chu Bai's words, she also understood that this Lin En lived in Huiyuan Building a few days ago and met his sweetheart again, and her sweetheart knew that he was here to marry him.
My goddaughter was so angry that she laced her wine with laxatives as punishment.
This explanation is feasible, and there is a waiter following him. Furthermore, Lin En's cultivation level is too low, and he cannot kill two Nascent Soul maids in an instant, and he can freely enter and exit the back house silently, so Lin En's cultivation level is too low.
En's suspicion is minimal.
Of course, when Chu Bai finished speaking, a protector behind King Haoyue also took the initiative to withdraw, apparently going to Huiyuan Tower to verify the authenticity.
At this time, Zhu Jiu had already brought Fu Zhen outside the palace.
Fuzhen is also a demon cultivator of returning to the void, but his cultivation level is not as high as that of his elder brother. He is only at the seventh level of returning to the void.
"I have seen you, my lord, and all the elders protecting the law." Fu Zhen entered the hall and knelt down.
"Fu Zhen, Fu Qiang is your brother?" King Haoyue asked coldly.
"Yes, my brother and I have been separated for thirty-two years. Today, my brother came here. Firstly, he wanted to participate in the betrothal gift held by the Lord, and secondly, he wanted to meet me. Therefore, I met with my brother outside the palace before. Please
Your Excellency, please check clearly."
"There's no need to check it out." King Haoyue waved his hand impatiently and said, "Let go of your soul."
"Yes." Fu Zhen's face turned pale, and then he let go of his soul silently, and an elder protector also took a step forward, stretched out his palm, and pressed it on the top of his head.
"Hmm~" A muffled groan came out, and Fu Zhen's seven orifices began to bleed. Although he let go of his soul, the elder protector was not polite and searched his soul like a rampage.
"Go down." After three breaths, the guardian elder took back his palm and shook his head at King Haoyue, indicating that what he said was true and he was not lying.
At this time, King Haoyue scratched his round chin with an evil smile and looked at Bagel and Tian San with interest.
