Chapter 809: Got Thief

Seeing the backs of the two leaving, the emperor let go of the worry that had been hanging over him for a long time.

Although the murderer has not been caught yet, as long as he knows his identity and origin, it is a good thing.

It's just that he didn't expect that the murderer came from the Tianji sect.

"Your Majesty, are the words of these two people trustworthy?" Eunuch Gao suddenly asked cautiously.

As soon as his words fell, the emperor cast a sharp look at him: "Presumptuous! Are you doubting my vision? Their words can't be trusted, so who else can be trusted? You forgot what they are people?"

Eunuch Gao was so frightened by his scolding that he knelt down with a thud, kowtowed his head and said: "The emperor calms down, it was the old slave who said something wrong in a moment of confusion, please forgive the old slave this time."

"Okay, get up." The emperor supported his head with his right hand, and waved his left hand casually, signaling him to get up.

After Eunuch Gao got up, the emperor said again: "If you suspect someone else, I can understand. But that is the famous ghost emperor, do you think he has to lie to me? What good does it do him?"

"But don't they want to get the fragment of the treasure map in your hand, Your Majesty?" Eunuch Gao whispered.

The emperor laughed at himself when he heard the words: "Do you think it is difficult to obtain the treasure map fragments with the strength of the ghost emperor? If they can take the initiative to make a fair deal with me, then we can see their Character, you still doubt them!"

Eunuch Gao lowered his head even lower: "This old servant is narrow-minded and treats the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. This old servant will never dare again."

The emperor didn't say much, but sighed: "The murderer is from the Tianji sect. Now, only the ghost emperor can solve this matter. The Tianji sect is not something we can afford."

Back then, the Xuanluo Palace occupied the imperial city and several surrounding cities in the Western Jin Dynasty, and even the emperor was killed. He didn't want such a tragedy to happen to him.

If they angered the Tianji sect and the Tianji sect occupied the imperial city, and he was killed like the emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty, then the loss outweighed the gain.

Therefore, it is the best choice for this matter to be handled by the ghost emperor.

……

After leaving the palace, Yun Xiyue and Ji Xuanqing walked slowly back to the inn.

When passing by a tea stall, the two were suddenly stopped by the tea stall owner.

"Hey, won't the two guest officers come in and have a cup of tea today?"

Yun Xiyue turned to look at the boss, and said with a smile, "Boss, do you still remember us?"

"You two are so outstanding, how can I not remember their looks? Why don't you sit down and rest for a while?"

Yun Xiyue looked up at Ji Xuanqing, and seeing that he didn't refuse, she nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble the boss to make a pot of good tea."

"Okay, please wait a moment, both of you."

Pulling Ji Xuanqing's arm, she walked forward and sat down at an empty table. Yun Xiyue looked around and said, "Tell me, will someone die at the hands of Wu Gan again tonight?"

"Wu Gan was seriously injured by me last night. Presumably he doesn't have the ability to use his sorcery to harm others." Ji Xuanqing said slowly.

Yun Xiyue supported her head with her hands, nodded and said, "You are right, if it were me, I would have to hide for treatment if I was injured so badly."

While the two were talking, the boss came over with a teapot and two teacups in hand, poured tea for them and said, "Have you heard about it? The Kyushu Auction House was robbed last night."

His words surprised both of them, and Yun Xiyue stared at the boss with wide eyes.
