Don’t be too poisonous to the concubine of the Wu family who was born in Wu

Chapter 2931 888. Eight Precious Jade Foods (Dongfang Shuo truthfully reports the case)

A pair of scrutinizing eyes stared at him, and the sudden pressure was simply inexplicable to Dongfang Shuo.

Dongfang Shuo began to examine his behavior during this period. Did he do anything wrong? No matter how much I think about it, I don't think anything is wrong. So why are these people and the black-eyed chicken looking at me at the same time?

After Dongfang Shuo and Situ Lan finished the ceremony together, Shangguan Marquis waved his sleeves, thus exempting the two of them from the ceremony.

Marquis Shangguan was too lazy to exchange pleasantries and went straight to the topic: "Master Dongfang, the lonely king has something to ask you."

Dongfang Shuo was startled and hurriedly bowed his waist and raised his fist to answer: "Your Majesty, please speak."

In fact, Dongfang Shuo's heart is already racing. Since he came here, he has felt a different arrogance. Judging from his many years of official experience, this situation is by no means a trivial matter.

"When the lonely king was in coma, did you and Master Tianmen collect evidence about the place where the missing spiritual beast's remains were hidden?"

Dongfang Shuo couldn't help but frown slightly. He did not speak directly, but moved his hesitant eyes to Wu Xuanyue.

He didn't know what Marquis Shangguan meant by asking this, and what choice the other party would make?
  Wu Xuanyue smiled slightly and said nothing. At this time, it was not convenient for her to speak. It seemed that if she spoke, it would be equivalent to colluding with Dongfang Shuo.

Seeing that Dongfang Shuo was hesitant and didn't speak for a long time, Situ Lan, who was standing next to him, became anxious. He bumped Dongfang Shuo with his elbow and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty is asking you something, but you should say it!"

Dongfang Shuo finally came back to his senses and didn't dare to think any more. He could only tell the truth: "That's it. Before, the Tianmen Zhenshi gave me evidence that he had discovered the remains of the missing spiritual beasts, so I went with him I went to confirm...Your Majesty, is there any problem with this?"

Dongfang Shuo answered more and more cautiously, and as he spoke, his eyes unconsciously glanced at the face of the Marquis Shangguan.

Marquis Shangguan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at the scrolls scattered on the ground. Situ Lan understood immediately, so he ran over, picked up the scroll from the ground, and wanted to hand it to Marquis Shangguan.

Shangguan Marquis did not raise his hand, but turned his gaze to Dongfang Shuo.

Situ Lan understood immediately, turned around and walked towards Dongfang Shuo.

At this moment, Dun Luotian's face was pale and he was sweating profusely. He knew that the content on the scroll was not false, and he even knew that he was going to be in disaster this time.

His mind was in confusion now. He was thinking about who was hiding around him to collect evidence of his crimes, and he was also wondering how Marquis Shangguan should deal with him...

All in all, he was completely panicked and had no way to deal with it.

At this time, Dongfang Shuo took the scroll from Situ Lan in confusion. He looked at the burial place written on it and couldn't help but nodded and said, "These are the places, but..."

Marquis Shangguan frowned, opened his mouth and asked, "But?"

Dongfang Shuo did not dare to conceal it, and immediately reported the truth: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have confirmed it and found that the number of corpses of spirit beasts in the burial ground is far less than the number of spirit beasts after registration." "What? Such a large number of spirit beast corpses Still far from..."

As he spoke, Marquis Shangguan's expression became even more gloomy, because only at this moment did he realize the crisis of the case of the missing spiritual beast.

As the king of a country, Marquis Shangguan naturally has to take into account all aspects of the country. As for how the officials below behave, Marquis Shangguan will not interfere one by one. As the saying goes, if the people below do not report to the officials, he will think that the country If everything goes smoothly, go and deal with other matters.

But now, someone is reporting it, and he is the prince of a neighboring country. The situation is getting serious.

You know, if the meat is rotten in your own pot, you can't throw it outside if you are embarrassed. But if the meat is rotten outside, it will be too difficult for you to remedy it.

Wu Xuanyue is really good at it. After calculating this round after round, he also brought his cronies to collect evidence. How can he protect his subordinates?
  But then again, this Tun Luotian has done many evil things, and he doesn't want to protect him at all. It's time to deal with him.

However, according to what Dongfang Shuo said, the number of places where the corpses of spirit beasts are hidden is not equal to the number of missing spirit beasts. So what does that mean?
  That meant that he was not alone in the matter of killing spiritual beasts. Could it be that he had other accomplices?
  Seeing the increasingly ugly face of Marquis Shangguan, Dongfang Shuo was sincere, so he nodded and said: "Yes, this is not even half the quantity."

Hearing this, Marquis Shangguan let out a long breath and asked, "There are so many spiritual beasts missing. Why didn't you report this big thing to the lonely king early?"

Dongfang Shuo was frightened when he saw the sudden change in Marquis Shangguan's face. He swallowed dryly and wanted to explain, but his mouth was too stupid and could not keep up with the speed of his brain.

Seeing that Dongfang Shuo was suffering from his old habit of being slow, Situ Lan hurriedly made up for it and came to Dongfang Shuo's rescue: "That's right, Mr. Dongfang is seeing His Majesty the Dragon King working hard, so he will report this kind of thing only after he has a clue about it. After all... Even if we report it to His Majesty, the problem will not be solved, and it will only cause more troubles to Your Majesty. Lord Dongfang has always felt sorry for Your Majesty, and whatever he can do, he just wants to share His Majesty's worries."

As soon as these words came out, although Shangguan Marquis was angry, he would not lose his temper at Dongfang Shuo. You must know that Situ Lan and Dongfang Shuo are his most trusted confidants. If he treats them poorly, he will really become a success. Alone.

At this point, Marquis Shangguan calmed down some of his temper, raised his hand and exempted Dongfang Shuo from the fist salute, and said: "The lonely king knows the nature of Lord Dongfang, and it is understandable if you put it this way. However, such a quantity... ...The Lone King knows that the spirit beasts in our clan consume a lot, so he asks Tianmen to buy them every year. However, the number of missing spirit beasts has already exceeded the Lone King’s imagination. Just now, the Lone King saw this recorded I am already surprised by the amount of corpses hidden there. I never thought that the number of lost spirit beasts is far more than this. Then... are there any clues about the trajectories of other missing spirit beasts?"

Marquis Shangguan felt his scalp numb more and more. He was already ashamed of this shocking case of a spirit beast hiding a corpse, and he was too embarrassed to face Tianmen's questioning. After Dongfang Shuo told such a fact, it was even more difficult for Marquis Shangguan to accept.

Dongfang Shuo shook his head helplessly and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me, but my subordinates are incompetent. There is still no clue about the remaining lost spiritual beasts..."

Dongfang Shuo's dejected look made Marquis Shangguan a little angry, but in order to protect his face, he would not reprimand Dongfang Shuo in front of others.

Just when things reached a deadlock, a voice suddenly broke the calm.

"I know the whereabouts of those missing spiritual beasts."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to the source of the sound again...
