C56 Inquisition by the Herald

The Star Origin Competition would be held three days later.    

    

In order to prevent any side from acting on their own, the three sides had sent people to station themselves at the edge of the deep pit.    

    

Due to the fact that this piece of barren land was so close to the territory of the Grand Xia, the Grand Shang could only send a few people to guard it.    

    

If they were to send in a large amount of armed personnel, it would be an invasion and provocation.    

    

For the sake of the competition over the star origin, Da Shang could only endure it. Taking a step back and fighting the Godly Armored Army head on was not a wise choice.    

    

Returning to the city, Xiao Fan and the others truthfully handed over all of the loot to the Star Origin Realm in front of Xiao Yun and Xiao Feng.    

    

But in the end, Xiao Yun and Xiao Feng did not take it up, and treated it as a reward for the mission team.    

    

Bai Qing and the others were overjoyed. It was good for the commander of the Godly Armored Army to take care of them.    

    

The Star Origin that they had plundered was at least a few hundred thousand yuan. This was a huge sum of money; they had truly made a fortune.    

    

However, the person most admired was Xiao Fan, because he plundered millions of star sources at one go, making him much richer than them.    

    

This was a huge sum of money, Xiao Yun instructed them not to reveal it, otherwise it would be very troublesome for them.    

    

It was a pity that after just a single day, traces of people being touched in the Star Origin Palace were spread out. Xiao Fan and the rest were the first to enter, plundering tens of millions of Star Origin Palace's star sources.    

    

"Damn, which bastard is being careless!"    

    

When this news reached the ears of Xiao Fan and the rest, it was as if it was an atmosphere.    

    

Although they had taken away a few million star source tools, they were not as outrageous as what was passed down in the world. There were tens of millions of star source tools.    

    

Tens of millions of star sources, that was equivalent to half a day of storage by the royal family of Da Xia Empire. The amount was extremely huge.    

    

It was because of this that the situation in Han River City was somewhat complicated.    

    

The imperial government had long known about the Northwest Star Vein and sent an envoy official over. They arrived in Han River City two days ago.    

    

Hearing that Xiao Fan and the others had plundered tens of millions of star sources, they could no longer sit still and ran over to the General's Estate to interrogate them.    

    

In the main house, in the conference hall, other than Xiao Yun and a few other generals, there was another middle-aged man who had the style of a bureaucrat.    

    

After a while, Xiao Fan's group of eight arrived at the meeting hall.    

    

Before arriving here, Xiao Feng had already informed them not to admit it no matter what, and would definitely not admit it.    

    

"Envoy Zhao, everyone is already here. If you have anything to ask, ask them quickly!" Xiao Yun said to Zhao Kuo.    

    

"Hehe, I'll be troubling General Xiao." Zhao Kuo was polite, but he did not immediately ask about it. Instead, he stared straight at Xiao Fan and the others, and slowly observed them.    

    

After a long while, Zhao Kuo finally sat back on the chair and said in an official tone, "I heard that you guys took back tens of millions of star sources in the mountain and hid them secretly. If you don't hand them over, then it would be stealing the country.    

    

"Tsk, are the officials all full of pig brains now?" After Bai Qing heard this, he was extremely unhappy, and was the first to speak.    

    

This damned Zhao Kuochang would really f * cking put a hat on someone's head. He would casually say a few words and accuse them of stealing the treasury.    

    

"Master Zhao, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Do you have any evidence that we stole the treasury?" Situ Tao said with a trace of anger.    

    

He had heard of this Zhao Kuo. He was a complete villain. He was a very sinister person and he specially wore small shoes for people. Quite a few people in the court had been harmed by him.    

    

"Oh, you want proof. Isn't that obvious? If you go out on the streets and ask someone, they'll know that you guys took away tens of millions of star sources. That's a national treasure, and you guys still dare to touch it! " Zhao Kuo said with a proud smile.    

    

Zhao Kuo spoke with such calmness, taking the rumors of the world as evidence.    

    

As expected, for a sinister person like Zhao Kuo, as long as it was something he could use, even if it was just a tiny bit of use, he could still use it against others.    

    

"Master Zhao, you are conspiring to rebel. The evidence is conclusive. I hope that the General will give the order to apprehend him." At this time, Xiao Fan took a step forward and said seriously.    

    

"Oh, Envoy Zhao, you want to rebel!" Xiao Yun frowned, looking extremely surprised as he said to Zhao Kuo.    

    

"What nonsense are you spouting? You must be tired of living. How dare you slander this emissary!" Zhao Kuo was scared stiff by the sudden scene, and in the next moment he became furious, Xiao Fan actually wronged him and wanted to rebel.    

    

He was an envoy from the imperial government, but now, he was being called a traitor.    

    

In this marshal's residence, if the marshal really thought that he was going to rebel, there would be no end to his suffering.    

    

"We can all testify that you want to rebel." When Zhao Kuo was enraged, Xiao Jin immediately responded and understood what Xiao Fan meant.    

    

"That's right, that's right. We've all heard that you want to rebel. Master Zhao, don't deny it!" The others immediately responded.    

    

"Just a few rumors and you dare to slander this emissary as a rebel? You have the guts! Men, send these people to jail!" Zhao Kuang shouted in anger.    

    

"Rumors, you also know what a rumor is, those on the streets saying that we took away tens of millions of star sources isn't a rumor, who would see us move so many star sources away from the city, yet you think we stole the national treasury and sentenced you to death just because of a rumor? Do I want to say that your brain is a pig's brain?" Xiao Fan said righteously.    

    

The reason why Xiao Fan said that Zhao Kuo had rebelled, was because he heard of the rumors.    

    

Of course, the rumors of Zhao Kuo's rebellion were fabricated by Xiao Fan.    

    

Xiao Fan saying this was to prove to Zhao Kuo that the rumors outside were just rumors and that Zhao Kuo could not judge them for their crimes.    

    

With his two brothers here, explain the problem clearly and make it clear. No matter how despicable and sinister Zhao Kuo was, he would not try to harm them.    

    

"Impudent! Men, pull this reckless bastard out and kill him immediately!" Zhao Kuo flew into a rage. The young man in front of him had slandered him and even said that his brain was like a pig's brain. How could he not be angry when he obviously humiliated him, a person of high status.    

    

"You are the one who is presumptuous!" Xiao Yun suddenly roared: I am in charge here, it is not your turn to give out orders.    

    

"General Xiao, it's fine if he insults this official, but he's stealing the treasury and slandering the Minister for rebelling. He's an unpardonable villain, he should be killed!" Zhao Kuo was infuriated, but his attitude became a little more relaxed as he spoke to Xiao Yun.    

    

"Tens of millions of star sources, that's at least ten million jin. Master Zhao, you seem to be a sixth grade fate star, I'm afraid even you wouldn't be able to carry ten million jin worth of items, let alone those eight Astral Soul kids. It's obvious that their rumors aren't true." Xiao Feng analyzed.    

    

"That's right. They said that you've rebelled because you've heard some rumors outside. Are you able to force their crimes to work?" Xiao Yun said.    

    

When the two generals spoke, Zhao Kuo was instantly dumbfounded. These two generals were biased in order to protect the youth that was contradicting him.    

    

"General, let's just leave it at that. But this brat insulted us with his malicious intentions. His heart can be destroyed, but if we don't punish him, where will our prestige be left for the imperial court!" With the help of two Godly Armored Army Commanders, he knew that it was impossible to establish the crime of slandering eight people. Furthermore, the truth was as Xiao Yun and Xiao Feng had said, he was clear about this fact.    

    

It was just that Xiao Fan could not bear to go against him and slander him if he did not punish him.    

    

"Then let me tell you, he's my little brother, do you still dare to touch him!?" Xiao Yun moved closer to Zhao Kuo, and said while staring at him.    

    

When he said that, Zhao Kuo's heart shook, the youth who slandered him earlier was Xiao Fan.    

    

He knew that Xiao Yun and Xiao Feng had a little brother, but he only knew his name and did not recognize him.    

    

"If you want to settle the score, do your best to calculate. We will also calculate the matter of you slandering the Royal College and the people who stole their treasury. We don't know who will blame these two matters." Xiao Feng said.    

    

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I was only joking. Everyone, there is no need to take it seriously." Understanding the attitude of Xiao Yun and Xiao Feng, Zhao Kuo's expression immediately changed, and he squeezed out a smile.    

    

This time, he lost a lot of face, and crashed into the muzzle of the commander of the Godly Armored Army.    

    

Xiao Yun and Xiao Feng's words were very clear, if they really did settle the score, then he, Zhao Kuang, would have no chance of survival.    

    

Just based on the fact that he wanted to kill Xiao Fan, Xiao Yun and Xiao Feng would not let him off.    

    

"Very good. Since it's a misunderstanding, this matter shall be resolved. If Envoy Qin is fine, then please leave this place. We still have important matters to discuss." Xiao Yun ordered.    

    

"That's good. This Envoy just remembered that there are some urgent matters that he still needs to take care of, so he will be leaving first." Zhao Kuo said goodbye with a forced smile.    

    

Looking at Zhao Kuo's dejected expression as he left, a burst of mocking laughter sounded out in the hall.    

    

This Zhao Kuo was also a talent, but he was a sinister and despicable talent. Unfortunately, he found the wrong person.    

    

"Xiao Fan! Godly Armored Army's Commander, hmph, you three brothers just wait. I, Zhao Kuo, will remember what happened today! " Zhao Kuo, who walked out of the hall, had an extremely gloomy and ashen face. Hearing the mocking laughter coming from the hall, he muttered in his heart.
