Usually, although there are disputes in the Ghost Emperor's Palace, they are just discussing matters. But at this moment, the atmosphere in the Ghost Emperor's Palace suddenly became subtle and tense!
"Guilty conscience? Hahahaha...a joke! I, King Yishan, sit upright and behave properly, how can I have a guilty conscience? King Zhifu, if you have evidence, just bring it out, but don't insult people's innocence at will!" A fierce look flashed in King Yishan's eyes Light.
"You want evidence? Okay!" King Zhifu sneered, took out a package from his arms, and attracted the attention of the other palace masters.
The corners of Yishan King's eyes wrinkled, and the blood around his body suddenly began to flow faster.
That matter was done by his cronies. After it was done, he also got rid of the cronies in order to make sure that no one knew about it except himself! But seeing King Zhifu's confident attitude, he was still a little uneasy and began to recall where there were any omissions...
"Such a thing... King Yishan, don't say you don't know it!" King Zhifu shook the package and dropped the contents on the ground, saying aggressively.
"Tools from the Gongdian Palace?" Several palace masters almost said in unison, and then focused their attention on King Yishan.
King Yishan looked a little ugly, and he had already scolded that guy in his heart. He had clearly warned him to be careful, so why did this guy still make such an obvious mistake.
No matter how much you complain, it is useless. After all, that person has "beyond the Three Realms and is not in the Five Elements." The main problem now is, I don't know how much this King Weaver knows! If you continue to stick to your original attitude, it will only increase your suspicion.
After a moment of silence, he had a new idea: "Although it is true that this is something from our work hall, we have always maintained strict order and strict punishment. I don't believe that anyone can do such a disgraceful behavior!"
"So...I can gather the people from the Gongdian who have recently used this kind of tool and ask King Zhifu to help identify the murderer! I wonder what King Zhifu wants?"
King Zhifu stared at King Yishan for a few moments, then picked up the tool and handed it over.
"Don't get me wrong, King Yishan. I didn't say there was any connection between this matter and the object. I just wanted to take this opportunity to return it to King Yishan!" King Zhifu said with a smile.
"Didn't you say this is evidence?" King Yishan's face darkened, and he suddenly felt that he was being tricked.
"King Yishan misunderstood. I said from the beginning that this was just a hearsay. Where can I find the evidence? I was just joking with you!" King Zhifu looked relaxed, and he looked completely different from before. .
"Hahahaha... Yishan King really knows how to joke!" The same laugh came, but this time there was a hint of relief and sinisterness in Yishan King's laughter.
"Dear Lords of the Palace, since the matter has come to this point, I'd better express my attitude!" King Yishan said sternly, "I will do my best to investigate this matter. If the result is indeed related to our Gongdian, then I can’t escape the blame, all the losses to the Gongdian will be borne by me alone!”
"King Yishan understands righteousness well and is truly a role model for us. When I return, I must let everyone in the Li Palace learn from you!" King Zhifu nodded slightly, then clasped his fists at everyone and said, "The Li Palace has been really busy recently, there is nothing much to do. As told, I’ll take my leave first!”
The remaining palace masters exchanged a few words with each other after hearing this, and then dispersed on the spot, leaving the Ghost Emperor Palace empty again.
Although this is the Ghost Emperor's Palace, the Ghost Emperor has always been a dragon that never comes to an end. He always appears suddenly and disappears for a long time, which makes people puzzled...
The suspicion in his heart has been confirmed, and what is lacking now is evidence. King Zhifu originally did not want to be exposed too early, but if this matter is delayed any longer, it will only plant the seeds of disaster for the underworld, which will take root and sprout in the future.
With this thought in mind, King Zhifu went further and further away, and came to a deserted place.
Suddenly, he stopped and said with a faint smile, "I've been following you for so long, what's the matter with you... Ben Lei King?"
"..."
After a brief silence, a strong figure appeared from behind the tree.
"King Zhifu, you are also a senior of the Sixth Hall after all. It's not good to disturb people's hearts like this, right?" King Benlei said straightforwardly.
"Disturbing people's hearts?" Zhifu
The king smiled and said, "King Ben Lei is serious, I am just telling the truth! What? Can't I tell the truth now that the Ghost Emperor is gone?"
"Honestly? Bah! I think you, old guy, are too leisurely!" King Benlei frowned, "We have seen everything King Yishan does. What are your intentions in doubting him so blatantly? for?"
"If you are upright, you are not afraid of slanting shadows! If he really hasn't done anything wrong, why would he feel so guilty and test him with words?" King Zhifu sneered.
"Testing?" King Benlei frowned, "King Yishan has made his attitude clear and wants you to come forward to prove his innocence. If you really have doubts, why don't you go find out?"
"Since he can speak openly, it means that he has done everything possible. Even if I really go to investigate, it will just be a waste of time..." King Zhifu's eyes condensed and he met King Benlei's gaze, "On the contrary, it is you! Taking advantage of it. He hid food and fodder in the military palace to line his own pockets! I didn’t go looking for you, but you found it on my head!”
"Don't be impatient. Wait until I resolve the matter with King Yishan, and then it will be your turn."
"You...how do you know?" King Ben Lei's eyes flickered, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
"If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself." King Zhifu was too lazy to pay attention to King Benlei, "If I'm to blame, it's because you're not as smart as King Yishan, and you can't even hide your own things!"
"Old man...you are seeking death!" King Benlei's eyes revealed a fierce light. As he spoke, thunder suddenly spread over his body, and he swung his sword towards King Zhifu.
"Oh, you kid, you still dare to take action? Do you really think that the old man has been in the underworld for so many years just because of his seniority?" King Zhifu's demeanor suddenly changed, and he began to mutter something.
"Trying the mandarin ducks' buttons with strings, not playing the five notes on the harp or harp. Walking and painting the screen to connect the mountains and seas, patching up misfortunes and attracting secrets from heaven!"
As soon as he finished speaking, ripples suddenly appeared on the ground here, and golden threads danced wildly in the thunder, filling the vacancies of the thunder with dust.
Where there was a peaceful atmosphere, murderous intent immediately spread. For a moment, there was a rumble between heaven and earth, and the scenery could no longer be distinguished!
However, the strange thing is that after making such a commotion, the two people who were still aggressive just now put away their offensive and got together to exchange something.
"Senior, I just offended you." King Benlei no longer had any dignity in front of King Zhifu.
"Haha... You performed very well. That guy Hao Ren has to trust you this time!" King Zhifu said with a smile.
"But senior, Lin Qiao has never found any clues. I don't know how you saw it?" Lin Qiao was confused. Although he had suspected King Yishan, he had hidden it very well and never showed any flaws.
"If you were Hao Ren, what would you think after seeing something like that?" King Zhifu asked.
"I would be curious, where did senior get such a thing." King Ben Lei said.
"That's right! If Hao Ren hadn't done this, he would have had the same idea!" King Zhifu said with a smile, "It's just that he had something in his mind. When he heard me mention the word evidence, he subconsciously thought that I had already Know something!"
"So that's it!" Ben Lei King suddenly realized, "So if he can prove his innocence openly, it means that he already knows who is the murderer of the insider, and the murderer is probably already..."
"Yeah." King Zhifu nodded slightly, "This is called being smart but being fooled by the smart. He has no idea that he has been betrayed by his pride!"
"Senior, since he can be so cautious, I don't think he will completely trust me..." Ben Lei King said solemnly.
"This is true, but he has now reached a critical moment. He is already too busy on his own. What he needs most is a helper who can talk!"
"Help?" King Ben Lei frowned.
The Red Ghost King of the Penal Palace is almost the embodiment of justice, and the one who holds the most grudge is the sneaky person! The Green Ghost King in the Hall of Ceremonies is difficult to see through, so he is also not considered...
After excluding King Zhifu from the Li Hall, in the end, only himself from the Bing Hall and the Red Dragon King from the Hu Hall barely met the conditions.
Although King Ben Lei doesn’t think he is very decent,
, but after a slight comparison between the two, it seems that the Red Dragon King is a more suitable candidate.
He expressed his doubts to King Weaver, who nodded slightly: "Your idea is good, but the Red Dragon King is more scheming and powerful than King Yishan can control, so he doesn't want to get involved with this guy unless he has to. relation!"
"I understand..." King Benlei took a deep breath and said solemnly: "But King Zhifu, a private fight between palace masters is not a trivial matter. How should the Ghost Emperor explain it?"
"You can rest assured about this." King Zhifu comforted him, "I will take care of everything by then! As I have worked hard in the underworld for so many years, the Ghost Emperor will not make things too difficult for me. At most, he will just offload me. It’s just his status as the palace master!”
"What?!" King Ben Lei looked shocked, "Senior, you must not do this. You are the majesty of the Sixth Hall now. If you leave like this, it will only make King Yishan no longer have any scruples!"
"It would be great if that's the case. It can save you a lot of trouble." King Zhifu laughed.
"Don't worry! After sitting in the position of palace master for so many years, I am exhausted mentally and physically, and I have long thought of abdicating! What's more, I have done the same thing for too long, and time has long worn away my love and so-called responsibilities. , to me it’s just a routine! It’s really difficult to stick to your heart!”
King Benlei felt a little regretful when he heard that King Zhifu was willing to give up his position in order to eliminate internal troubles.
"Senior, is this really worth it?"
"For me, it doesn't matter whether it's worth it or not, it's just that I feel guilty." As he said that, King Zhifu's expression suddenly turned cold, "And... I'm just a Hao Ren, so there's no need for me to do this. The reason why I want to step back behind the scenes is actually to investigate who is in charge of all this!"
After hearing this, King Benlei wanted to ask more questions, but was interrupted by King Zhifu, saying that now was not the time, and the more he knew, the more dangerous it would be.
After the explanation, King Zhifu was still a little distraught when he saw King Benlei. King Zhifu patted King Benlei on the shoulder and said with a smile: "But you don't have to worry at all. I already have a suitable candidate for the next palace master. He is the same as you and me. He is also an upright person! When the time comes, he will be your help!"
"Really?" Ben Lei King finally had some hope: "Senior, may I ask who this person is? Have I seen him before?"
King Zhifu shook his head slightly.
"Of course not, after all, he is not from the underworld yet! His opportunity has not come yet, and he is in the mortal world at the moment..."
