Attacking the Heart

Ten minutes later, General Long Wei was asked to leave Room No. 1 again.

But compared to the beginning, Wang Mang's attitude took a 180-degree turn and became very enthusiastic.

"General, the young prince has already investigated everything. This incident has nothing to do with you. We made a mistake. Please forgive us for any offense we caused you."

Wang Mang smiled apologetically and lowered his attitude.

"Um?"

Looking at the fawning Wang Mang in front of him, General Longwei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, appearing quite surprised.

Not long ago, the two sides were on the verge of a showdown. How come they suddenly became so enthusiastic?

"Have you really investigated it thoroughly?" General Long Wei asked tentatively.

"Of course! According to our investigation, the reason why Zhengjun Duncan disappeared was because he was seeking revenge for his enemies in Stonia."

Wang Mang said seriously, "This guy was domineering and overbearing outside, causing a lot of trouble. He deserves what he got today. The reason why the young prince investigated it strictly was to give the Duncan family an explanation for the sake of face. Since it is not a personal grudge in Stonia, it has nothing to do with us in West Lucozia."

"So that's how it is..." General Long Wei glanced at the people around him meaningfully.

I secretly underestimated myself: If I hadn't destroyed the body myself, I would have really believed your lies.

"General, this time it was our lack of consideration that caused you to suffer losses here. In order to express my apology, the young prince has specially set up a table in the mansion and intends to treat you to a meal to make amends." Wang Mang said with a smile.

"General Wang, you are too polite. The young prince asked me to cooperate with the investigation, which is only natural. I don't deserve an apology or anything like that." General Long Wei said calmly.

The change in Thorian's attitude made him a little unpredictable.

What exactly is the other party up to?

One moment he uses threats and inducements, the next he hosts a warm banquet. Is there some conspiracy behind this?

"No matter what, the young prince feels guilty. It's just a meal. The general will not ignore us, right?" Wang Mang smiled.

"This..." General Long Wei hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Since the young prince has spoken, I will be disrespectful to refuse."

"General, please come this way!" Wang Mang smiled slightly and enthusiastically took General Long Wei away.

And this scene happened to be witnessed by the Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion.

Looking at the burly figure of General Longwei and Wang Mang's enthusiastic attitude, the Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion could not help but frown, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

"Excuse me, was the person who just passed by General Longwei?" The Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion asked the royal guards beside him.

"That's right." The guard on the left replied, "This time the law enforcement team is investigating the real culprit. The general has reported it. The young prince will host a grand banquet for the general tonight."

"There is such a thing?" The Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion's face changed slightly, and he felt more and more uneasy.

"Shut up! Who told you to say these? If the young prince finds out, I'll tear your mouth apart!" The guard on the right shouted in a low voice.

The guard on the left was so frightened that he immediately lowered his head and stopped talking.

The Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion saw the performance of both of them, and at this moment, he felt very heavy in his heart.

Zhengjun Duncan's death is definitely related to General Long Wei, so why did the other party report it?

What is going on?

With mixed emotions, the Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion followed two bodyguards all the way forward and finally entered the conference room.

At this moment, in the meeting room.

Thorian sat in the middle with an indifferent expression, and every move he made exuded an invisible pressure.

"Your humble servant... greets the young prince!"

After Tianzhang Pavilion Grand Secretary entered the room, he bowed respectfully to Thorian.

"Grand Secretary, do you know why you are here?" Thorian said lightly.

"I don't know. Please tell me, Your Highness." The Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion lowered his head, feeling a little uneasy.

"Do you really not know? Or are you pretending to be stupid?" Thorian had a blank expression on his face.

"Your humble servant..."

The Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion was about to speak when he heard a loud bang and a teacup suddenly fell at his feet.

Broken pieces of porcelain, along with tea, splashed all over his legs.

The Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion was so frightened that his whole body shuddered. He looked up in surprise, just in time to meet Thorian's cold and murderous eyes.

"Mr. Wang! You'd better tell me the truth. If there is even a lie in there, don't blame me for not remembering our friendship!" Thorian shouted angrily.

Seeing this, the Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion broke out in a cold sweat and said in a terrified manner, "Young Prince, please calm down. I am old and my memory is not good. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me."

"Humph! Don't give me that!"

Thorian stepped forward aggressively, staring down at the Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion, and said coldly: "Someone reported it with their real name, saying that you killed Zhengjun Duncan and then destroyed the body. You are so bold that you even dare to touch my guests. I think you are tired of living!"

When these words were spoken, the Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion was so frightened that his face changed drastically, and he fell to his knees with a thump.

"My young prince! It's unfair! It's unfair!"

The Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion cried and cried out: "I have been an official for decades. Although I have accepted bribes, I have never killed anyone. Someone must have framed me. Please investigate, little prince!"

After saying that, he slammed his head on the ground, hitting it several times with "bang, bang, bang", causing his head to bleed. - Ton

When the door opened, everyone's attention was drawn to it. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Thorian Rhys walked out with two guards. "Young Prince?!" When everyone saw him, they immediately greeted him with a smile on their faces. Whether it was the general soldier of the city guard, the Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion, or the general Longwei, they all looked flattering. The gentleman in front of them was a famous devil. Although he had restrained himself a little in the past two years, he still had some power. The prince should at least talk about reason. This guy was a time bomb when he was in trouble. They had suffered a lot in the past. "Young Prince, you finally came out. I have something important to report. Please, young prince..." "Get out of the way!" The Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion came forward with a charming smile on his face. Just when he was about to say a few words, Thorian Rhys thought he was in t...

Questioning

The law enforcement team worked very efficiently, and in just one hour, they brought all three people back to the palace. When they entered the door, according to Thorian's request, Wang Mang arranged for the three of them to have a brief meeting, but did not give them a chance to speak. Afterwards, the three were taken to different rooms and guarded separately. Due to the identities of the three people, the law enforcement team did not force them. On the contrary, they treated them with good tea and wine. The only restriction is that they cannot leave the room and can only wait to be summoned by the young prince. General Longwei was placed under house arrest in Room No. 1, the city guard commander was placed under house arrest in Room No. 2, and the Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion was placed under house arrest in Room No. 3. The three people's rooms were close to each other, separated by only a wall. They could see each other when they went out, but they coul...

Arrest and Interrogation

"Um?" Hearing this, even General Long Wei couldn't help but frown. The palace law enforcement team is never dispatched easily, but once they are called upon, it is basically an earth-shattering event. The question is, is a mere legitimate son of the Duncan family qualified to be looked upon by the young prince in this way? "General, are you sure that the royal palace law enforcement team has really been dispatched? And is it because of Zhengjun Duncan?" General Long Wei asked back. "Of course it's true!" The city guard commander said with a serious face: "The higher-ups have just issued an order that the captain of the palace law enforcement team will temporarily take over my position as commander. Now the city defense affairs, including public security investigations, are under the full control of the law enforcement team!" "Strange, why would the young prince make such a fuss for such a small role?" General Long ...
