Chapter 58

~5 min read 861 words

This time recommending Su Xuan to investigate Liu Yi's death, although holding some meaning of testing Su Xuan.

But Su Xuan's performance was indeed beyond his expectations.

Actually publicly accusing Ji Wuye of sending people to kill Liu Yi.

What deep hatred did he have with Ji Wuye?

Zhang Kaidi could not guess the truth, but it didn't matter.

Since Su Xuan was not on good terms with Ji Wuye, he must protect Su Xuan and take the opportunity to release goodwill to Su Xuan. Perhaps he could pull a powerful arm for himself, who knows.

"Mr. Su is right. This is the court after all, not the Grand General's home." Zhang Kaidi spoke, his voice flat. "In addition, whether Liu Yi was killed by the Hundred Birds personal guards under the Grand General, the Grand General only needs to call that person over and confront them face to face."

"In the court, using vulgar words, what does that mean?"

"Zhang Kaidi!" Ji Wuye gritted his teeth.

Although Zhang Kaidi just reminded him, just because Zhang Kaidi helped Su Xuan speak at this moment, he had already identified the two as being in the same boat. If he wanted to kill Su Xuan the most right now, then second was Zhang Kaidi.

Zhang Kaidi heard the anger in Ji Wuye's words, but did not take it to heart.

He had fought with Ji Wuye for many years. Just like Ji Wuye wanted to topple him, how could he not want to topple Ji Wuye?

"Enough!"

Seeing that Ji Wuye and Zhang Kaidi were about to quarrel, the Han Wang sitting on the throne finally spoke.

For Su Xuan directly saying that Ji Wuye sent people to kill Liu Yi, he actually wanted to say that Su Xuan's words were too arbitrary, but Su Xuan was an Immortal Master after all. If he said this, he must have his basis. Even if he wanted to refute Su Xuan, it should not be on such an occasion, but should be said in private.

It was Zhang Kaidi who said one thing very correctly.

"If there is really a personal guard organization named Hundred Birds under the Grand General, at this moment, just call them over to confront them. If it is not their people who killed the Left Sima, I will naturally return the Grand General's innocence!"

"Yes!"

Seeing that the Han Wang said so, no matter how angry Ji Wuye was in his heart, he could only gladly accept the order.

Su Xuan looked at Ji Wuye and said faintly: "Grand General, remember, the one who killed the Left Sima was the person codenamed Vulture in the Hundred Birds organization. Of course, no one can guarantee whether others are also suspicious. If the Grand General doesn't mind, you can call them all over!"

"This matter doesn't need you to bother!" Ji Wuye gritted his teeth.

Because he was eager to find out the truth of Liu Yi's death, Ji Wuye also wanted to prove his innocence and refute Su Xuan's words.

He immediately ordered people to go to his mansion to summon the people of Hundred Birds.

Although the appearance of Hundred Birds assassins in front of people still had some influence.

But at this moment, he didn't care.

He firmly believed that his Hundred Birds would not have any problems.

His people could not possibly kill Liu Yi, and he had never given the order to kill Liu Yi.

However, when the leader of the Hundred Birds squad, Mo Ya, followed the messenger to the palace, Ji Wuye's brows still could not help but wrinkle.

"Why are you alone? Where is Vulture?"

In the court, because they wanted to see how Ji Wuye would prove his innocence, many ministers were all waiting here.

They thought this man in black was the suspect who killed the Left Sima. Now, hearing Ji Wuye's words, they immediately felt a trace of unusualness.

Mo Ya did not know the purpose of the Grand General summoning Vulture to the court, but after hearing the Grand General's counter-question, he still answered truthfully: "Please forgive me, Grand General, Vulture... escaped..."

"Escaped?"

Ji Wuye was stunned upon hearing this answer.

He had thought of many possibilities.

Among them, the most likely possibility was that he summoned the people of Hundred Birds here, they denied killing Liu Yi, and Su Xuan's lie was broken.

The only thing he did not expect was that Vulture actually escaped.

"It seems someone knows what this summons is for, so they escaped in fear of crime in advance!" Su Xuan spoke, continuing to aim his spear at Ji Wuye: "It is hard to say whether this move was at the Grand General's instruction?"

Ji Wuye was still angry, and besides anger, he was inevitably a little afraid.

It seemed everything was done by him.

Killing Liu Yi was his instruction, and Vulture's escape was also his instruction.

So did he do these things?

Naturally, he did not.

But with Su Xuan's words, plus Vulture's groundless escape at this moment, even if there was no evidence, he could not explain it clearly for a while.
