I'm a villain, not a devil

Chapter 387 The murderer...is Sean!

People were laughing and laughing outside the square, and senior officials and nobles were also enjoying delicious meals and fine wine in more luxurious indoors.

People celebrated this day by changing cups and cups. Those tree people who dared to invade have become weak mutants in the corner of the corner in their mouths. Everyone is convinced that the empire will eventually win, and this day will come soon. .

Presumably by that time, the Imperial Capital will be even more lively, right?

Moreover, what is even more concerning is that if that time comes, the master of this great empire seems to be welcoming the next one.

His Majesty the Emperor's attitude towards the eldest prince Bai Zhan, who has not appeared for a long time, has been noticed by everyone - many officials who are connected with the eldest prince's forces couldn't help but drink a few more glasses of good wine.

Drunkly, someone raised his head and looked around, and immediately asked doubtfully: "Why hasn't His Highness come back yet? He should be the protagonist of this dinner!"

Immediately many people cheered and responded, and those who were connected to His Highness even raised their chests proudly.

Suddenly, a large number of people trotted over from outside.

The high-ranking officials and nobles stood up in confusion. The people who came were all their servants. If they rushed in at this time, could it be that something big had happened?

For a moment, everyone in the venue was whispering.

"How is this possible?!" The Minister of Agriculture widened his eyes and pointed tremblingly at his servants - he was the happiest person at the celebration just now. Everyone knew that the Ministry of Agriculture belonged to His Highness.

Like the Minister of Agriculture, several senior officials who just celebrated loudly and drank heavily staggered and lost their minds. Some even fell down with weak legs.

But no one was surprised because they also knew what had just happened.

"The eldest prince, His Highness Bai Zhan...is dead..."

…

It was already dark, but the palace looked like a kettle being boiled.

The high-ranking officials and nobles entered the palace in a hurry. They either looked decadent or had gloomy eyes. Of course, many people were trying their best to hide their surprise.

His Majesty, who returned to the palace after delivering his speech, summoned the ministers again, and everyone knew what they were going to do.

In the main hall, which had not been so 'lively' for a long time, people from the highest echelons of the empire gathered together.

Even with so many people, the hall was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.

Just a few hours ago, His Majesty, who had not been seen for a long time, personally expressed his approval to the eldest prince. This was almost an obvious signal, and then... he died in a vain battle.

Many people don't dare to speculate on His Majesty's current thoughts, but everyone knows with their bare hands that whoever dares to get into trouble at this time will probably go directly to accompany His Majesty.

After a long silence, the man sitting on the throne finally moved.

Everyone in the main hall lowered their heads to the ground.

Old, tired, and filled with great sadness.

"My son fought in vain... and was killed by evil people!"

This seemed to be a signal, and suddenly there were cries in the hall.

Unlike the previous cheap prince who encountered a misfortune, Prince Bai Youming launched an attack on the spot, making the situation difficult to handle. On the other hand, officially, Bai Zhan's status was much higher than that of the unlucky Xiao Xiaon.

Of course, it’s unclear now whether Bai Zhan is unlucky or Sean is more unlucky.

They are all dead people, so they are probably no more interesting than this.

The high-ranking officials and nobles all covered their faces and wept, and even the tough guys in the military department all had red eyes - many of them were sincere, and many of them were fake.

His Majesty the Emperor staggered to his feet, and Palace Prime Minister Covins, who was wiping away tears, immediately stepped forward to help His Majesty, who was unsteady, with quick eyes and hands.

"My son..." The old emperor finally cried out.

Suddenly, everyone in the main hall became increasingly sad. Several people, such as the Minister of Agriculture, almost fainted from crying.

The emperor and his ministers, who had not discussed government affairs together for more than ten years, finally came together and reached a consensus.

The cries were so loud that even the clever little officials among the officials did not dare to stand up and ask His Majesty to take care of himself at this time - His Majesty was not in good health to begin with, and this time he came out to almost obviously choose the heir, but the heir died within two hours. ...You still want to advise His Majesty to take care of yourself at this time. Are you afraid that you want to accompany His Highness?

Finally, the emperor still maintained his majesty. After weeping silently for a moment, he sat back on the throne.

"Order to collect His Highness's body... I want to give him a grand funeral!"

"Your Majesty is wise." All the ministers shouted in tears.

Things are probably settled, and many people know that it's time to perform.

The fourth prince, who was standing in front with his head lowered and silent, took a step forward.

He raised his head, and many officials praised him.

There seemed to be no sadness at all, but the fourth prince Bai Si's hair had fallen behind him at some point, his eyes were red, and as soon as he opened his mouth, a mouthful of blood mixed with broken teeth spurted out.

"Father..." Bai Si's chest heaved violently, "Who is it... Who is it... Bai Si please order me, I swear, I must kill him with my own hands!"

This sound is dull, but people can hear the heart-rending sound in it.

For those who don’t know, I really think that the fourth prince and the eldest prince are close brothers.

"The more princes die, the better the remaining acting skills will be." Somehow, this sentence came to the minds of many people in the audience.

The emperor just glanced at Bai Si tiredly. Until now, his face had been hidden in the shadows, making it unpredictable.

"Bai Si, of course you have a good intention... But the evil man has already flown away... Pass my command to the three major administrative regions within the jurisdiction to close all the openings in and out of the empire, and the man must be captured!"

"yes!"

At this time, many people reacted.

This...who killed the eldest prince?

Many people looked at each other secretly, but no one dared to ask. In the end, it was Generalissimo Wu Xiao who stood up.

"Your Majesty, after learning the news, I have ordered people to seal all routes out of the imperial capital... However, we still don't know who is so bold and full of evil."

The emperor sat on the throne and took a few breaths, and then he was about to speak.

Suddenly, a waiter hurried in from outside.

The fourth prince Bai Si was about to scold him when he saw this, it seemed that he was one of his people.

However, after the chamberlain ran in and whispered a few words, Bai Si looked shocked, and immediately became uncertain.

Under everyone's doubtful eyes, he led the chamberlain up the steps next to the throne and whispered a few words to Covance, who then relayed it to the emperor.

Covance seemed to have brought something to show the emperor.

After a moment of silence.

"Bang!"

The emperor suddenly hit the armrest of the throne with a heavy palm. The sound of metal and iron clashing made the whole hall buzz, and many people covered their ears in fear.

Your Majesty has been ill for so many years, but your strength still hasn’t declined?

Wu Xiao and others frowned and observed, wondering what made His Majesty so angry again.

Silence returned to the hall, except for the emperor's angry breathing.

After a moment, he slammed the armrest again and waved towards Covance.

"Let's show it to all the ministers."

Covance took the order and took out a playback device still stained with blood.

"This is?"

Someone asked, and the fourth prince Bai Si replied firmly: "Things found on the body of my eldest brother."

Covance tinkered with the playback equipment for a while, and soon, some blurry pictures started playing in the main hall.

A man dressed in black appeared in the camera lens, with a terrifying big hole in his chest, and not far from him, it was Bai Zhan's body that was torn in half.

The terrifying scene made many people's hearts tremble, and Bai Si explained: "This is the most trusted person around eldest brother, and he is also his strategist... After I learned the news, I wanted to rush to the scene, but my father summoned me, so I had to First come to the palace - my people found the bodies of my eldest brother and his military advisor there. After searching carefully, I didn't expect that this was still hidden on the military advisor's body. "

Bai Si's eyes were red: "This military advisor was brutally killed while protecting his eldest brother, but he deceived the murderer with his superpower, just to breathe his last breath."

In the picture, the military advisor was trembling, his eyes had lost their luster, and he only breathed his last breath.

"My subordinates are incompetent and cannot protect His Highness... please... please... help His Highness take revenge..."

"His Highness died in my hands..."

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar immediately.

Why did the military advisor kill His Highness? What does this mean?

The military advisor took his last breath, and tears of blood fell from his eyes: "I... was... controlled by someone... and it was hard to resist... He knew that anyone who killed the royal blood... would be marked by the empire... so he lent me his power... Hands...kill His Highness!"

"He...is..."

A lazy man appeared in the picture. The man turned his head with a cruel and evil smile on his face.

At this time, someone shouted out the man's name in shock.

"This...isn't this His Royal Highness?!"

In the picture, the military advisor shouted hoarsely with his last breath: "He is the late His Highness, Sean! Sean faked his death... in order to assassinate His Highness!"

The military advisor fell to the ground weakly, the look in his eyes completely disappeared, leaving only a few squirming movements of his lips.

That mouth shape vaguely means: revenge.

There was silence in the main hall, and then there was a lot of noise!

"I've seen it... that is indeed His Royal Highness!"

"That's right, hasn't His Highness the Crown Prince been dead for a long time... He, he actually faked his death?!"

"And he also knows how to borrow someone else's help?"

Amid the noise, Bai Si twisted his body and fell to his knees.

He burst into tears: "Father! That Sean faked his death to deceive everyone, put my third brother in jail, and now he has assassinated the eldest brother! I ask my father to give an order to use the power of the empire to kill Sean!"

The situation suddenly changed.

As soon as Bai Si knelt down, many people immediately followed him.

"Please give your Majesty's order to kill Sean!"

But the emperor on the throne fell into silence.

Bai Si actually shouted in front of all the ministers: "Father, I know you are concerned about the brotherhood between the emperor and your uncle..."

Halfway through the words, the emperor, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly shouted angrily: "What a shame! Bai Si, do you know who you are talking to me?! What are you talking about!"

But Bai Si just knelt on the ground and cried loudly: "Bai Si doesn't dare, Bai Si doesn't dare! But the third brother was framed, and the eldest brother died. Bai Si is unwilling to accept it, Bai Si is unwilling to accept it!"

For a moment, except for the fourth prince who knelt down together, everyone else looked at each other.

Who doesn't know that Bai Youming is truly one person better than ten thousand people, and who doesn't know that this prince is even stronger than His Majesty... If all this is really Xiao En's doing, then what does the prince think...

Everyone gasped.

At this moment, Generalissimo Wu Xiao stood up.

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Highness—the Prince values ​​family ties the most, and he is definitely not this kind of person. However, Your Majesty once said personally that the empire must abide by the law. Now that the evidence is conclusive, I request the arrest of Sean!"

Grand Marshal Wu Xiao is Bai Youming's only student. What he says does not have the same weight as what others say. In a sense, now that Bai Youming is gone, he represents Bai Youming.

Not many people can clearly see the twists and turns, but now, we have to draw a conclusion.

His Majesty the Emperor let out a long sigh, and then said in a cold voice: "According to my order, all entrances and exits of the imperial capital and the three major administrative regions will be blocked. The murderer Sean is wanted nationwide - once he is captured..."

A chill seemed to flash across the old emperor's unclear face.

"Kill them without regard!"

The Grand Marshal and the Fourth Prince all knelt on the ground.

"Wu Xiao takes the order!"

"Bai Si takes the order!"

After giving the order, the emperor seemed to have exhausted all his strength. He leaned on the throne and said sadly: "Let people prepare for the funeral..."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The hurried and tumultuous night seemed to be coming to an end.

Standing nearby, Bai Ye, who had been silent all this time, just wept silently. Seeing that the emperor was about to turn around and leave, she hesitated for a moment, and finally stopped.

However, someone stood up.

Speaker Lan Youshan knelt down on the ground, his eyes still red: "Your Majesty... what about the Third Highness? The Third Highness... I also want to give His Highness a good farewell..."

The implication of this is that the third prince Bai You, who has lost his identity, cannot be buried properly.

The emperor paused, then waved.

He left the main hall, Lan Youshan was still kneeling on the ground, and Covance coughed and announced loudly: "Your Majesty's command, the Third Prince Bai You will resume his official position with immediate effect."

"Your Majesty is wise." The ministers all knelt on the ground again.

Wu Xiao stood up. He glanced at Bai Si, who was still sad and angry next to him, and then cupped his hands: "Your Highness, Fourth Highness, I..."

However, Bai Si interrupted him directly: "Marshal Wu Xiao, no need to say more, I must catch this Sean with my own hands!"

This was because he didn’t want Wu Xiao to interfere anymore.

Wu Xiao was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Walking out of the main hall, the joy of the Military Day could still be heard from every corner of the city, Wu Xiao looked into the distance.

"Teacher...this imperial capital has changed a lot..." he murmured to himself.

…

"Fuck...this emperor is so cruel..." Sean muttered to himself.

Then, he put on a smile and looked at the man sitting opposite him, "Are you ready?"

The man named Bai You took a deep breath, and hatred surged into his eyes.
