first concubine

Chapter 1119 The plan fell through.

Du Mingyi's head was lowered so low that it was almost covered with marble.

He returned tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I didn't expect that Miss Yang was a fake. Moreover, the woman impersonating Miss Yang and her maid is very skilled in martial arts, and none of my subordinates can match her."

If he was their opponent, would he still need to be here now?
If he had brought those two murderers back to the emperor for interrogation, he would have been able to atone for his crimes.

It's a pity that the murderer escaped.

"How did Li De die?" Zhan Yu's tone became more and more cold, and the oppressive and airless tone made people breathless.

Du Mingyi recalled what he saw, and guessed: "When my subordinates saw him, his whole body seemed to wither. It should be that he passed his inner strength to another person, causing his own life to dry up."

Only this way of death can make a person become like that after death.

Zhan Yu's eyes were extremely dark, staring at Du Mingyi with a gloomy tone: "He passed his inner strength to others and died, and you haven't caught that person yet, you still have the face to see me!!!"

This question made Du Mingyi and Cui Shiran tremble in unison.

The two kowtowed their heads in unison to admit their mistake, but the emperor just didn't say a word.

I don't know how long it took, but the man behind the desk finally said sinisterly: "You tell me, how much time will I give you before you can catch the murderer?"

Cui Shiran glanced at Du Mingyi and asked him to give the emperor an answer.

"This..." Du Mingyi faltered, he didn't know how to answer, they didn't have any clues now, it was still unknown if they wanted to find out, he didn't know how to tell the emperor.

"Why, not sure?" the emperor said speculatively, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "If you can't catch the murderer, you all come to see me with the head on your neck."

Li De was a member of the Shadow Gate, a very important person, and now he died in the dungeon.

Moreover, he died while passing his internal energy on to others, that is to say, the person who visited Li De in the dungeon was also a member of the Shadow Gate, or a very important person to Li De.

That's why he was willing to pass on all his life's skills to her.

Thinking of this, Zhan Yu felt more and more angry.

Not only did Li De not get any useful information from Li De's mouth, but now Li De has been hollowed out by someone, it seems.Li De told that person about the token of the head of the Shadow Gate.

If she can't get the token of the head of the sect, Duan Nian can't let her people seize the shadow gate.

At that time, even if Li De died, the Shadow Gate would still exist, and it would be a threat to him.

Originally, he wanted to get rid of the shadow gate without spending a single soldier or take it for his own use. Now it seems that this plan has been completely ruined.

How could this not make Zhan Yu angry?
Under the emperor's fury, Cui Shiran and Du Mingyi felt that their head was no longer on their necks. They had no clue about who the murderer was, so how could they find out?
Just when several people were deadlocked, Meng Ping came in from the outside and reported: "Your Majesty, a man who claims to be a police officer from the Ministry of Punishment is asking to see you."

Du Mingyi raised his head and said joyfully, "It must be Li Yong."
