Chapter 325 The Grand Master Died
"It's going to rain, Tongzi, do you think it would be more beautiful if the colorful spring day was stained with a touch of white?"
Three days later, Bai Yunjin had just finished his audience with the emperor and before he even reached the palace gate, he was almost bumped into by a palace servant who was in a hurry. Fortunately, he dodged quickly.
The man didn't stop after hitting him. Behind him was a group of generals. Everyone had an extremely ugly face. Bai Yunjin couldn't help but feel a little curious and asked softly: "My fellow officers, what's wrong? Why do you look so ugly?"
Those generals glanced at Bai Yunjin. None of them had cried on the battlefield before, but now their eyes were red and tears were falling silently.
The palace maid had a pale face and crawled and rolled to the oath hall. She pushed open the door and her voice was trembling.
"Your Majesty! Grand Master—Grand Master—"
Mo Ling suddenly had a bad feeling and asked in a deep voice: "What happened to Grand Master?"
The man said in a shrill voice: "The Grand Master is dead!"
The voice echoed in the Xuanshi Hall. Mo Ling stumbled and said in disbelief: "What did you say?"
"The Grand Master is dead!"
"nonsense!"
Mo Ling couldn't believe it at all. How could the Imperial Master die?
With his martial arts skills, who can touch him? Besides, the secret guards of the Emperor's Master are not comparable to ordinary people. How could the Emperor Tai die?
"How dare you! If you dare to curse the Imperial Teacher again, I will punish you severely!" Mo Ling's eyes turned red with anger, and he pointed at the palace servant angrily.
Just at this moment, there was a commotion outside the Xuanshi Hall, and a group of military officers rushed into the hall. Each of them had tears on their faces, and they all knelt on the ground with a clatter: "Your Majesty, I beg you to give justice to the Grand Master!"
"I beg Your Majesty to give justice to the Grand Master!"
The roof of the Xuanshi Palace was almost blown away by the noise of these generals. Mo Ling's eyes darkened: "What happened to the Imperial Master?"
"The Grand Master was assassinated and his body is now in the Grand Master's Mansion! I beg Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate the assassin and give the Grand Master justice!"
The Grand Tutor was assassinated?
What a niche word! Everyone knows that the Grand Tutor's Mansion is heavily guarded and the Grand Tutor is a master of martial arts. How could he be assassinated?
This must be fake!
"Nonsense! How could the Imperial Master be assassinated? The Imperial Master's martial arts are peerless—"
"His Majesty!"
Before Mo Ling could finish, he was interrupted by Wen Chu. Tears welled up in his eyes, and there were traces of tears under his eyes. The corners of his mouth curled up sarcastically and said, "Your Majesty, you also know that the Grand Master's martial arts are peerless!"
"So you are plotting against the Grand Master like this? He is your teacher! How could you do this?"
Mo Ling was confused: "What did I do?"
"Oh, you knew that ordinary people couldn't hurt the Grand Tutor, so you sent that kid as a killer, taking advantage of the Grand Tutor's compassion and taking his life, right?"
Mo Ling frowned, his heart was a mess right now, but even if he disliked the Grand Tutor, he would never send anyone to kill him.
"It's not me! What the hell is going on?!"
Wen Chu suddenly stood up and glared at Mo Ling with murderous intent in his eyes: "Isn't the hot spring palace outside the city your Majesty's?"
"Your Majesty, what are you pretending to be? You sent people to the road that the Grand Tutor must pass by, deliberately bullying the orphan and his widowed mother, and even had people ride horses over the child. If the Grand Tutor hadn't saved the child, the child would have been trampled to death on the spot!"
"It turns out that this was a deliberate act by you. As soon as the Grand Tutor rescued the child, the child stabbed the knife in his hand into the Grand Tutor's heart. The knife was even coated with poison. Are you afraid that the Grand Tutor will not die, Your Majesty?"
"The reason why I am still willing to call you Your Majesty is because you are his apprentice and he taught you. If you can't give us an explanation, the Youyun Army will definitely march south to destroy the capital and seek justice for the Marshal of the Youyun Army!"
Mo Ling slumped down on the dragon chair. He had given the Hot Spring Villa to King Nancheng privately two years ago. The reason why he called it the Imperial Villa was because he didn't want King Nancheng to be criticized. After all, King Nancheng was a vassal king, and leaving his fiefdom without permission was already a violation of the rules. Not only did he not punish him, but he also rewarded him, which inevitably led to King Nancheng being caught and scolded by the censor.
"What does it have to do with the hot spring villa?" Mo Ling asked again.
"What's the relationship? Both the mother and son and those who bully them are from Wenquan Villa! Wenquan Villa is the royal villa. Apart from Your Majesty, who else can give orders to them?" Wen Chu said hoarsely.
"Impossible!" Mo Ling immediately denied it. The Hot Spring Villa was his brother's manor. How could his brother assassinate the Grand Tutor? Someone must have framed him! He didn't believe his brother would assassinate the Grand Tutor!
Wen Chu sneered: "How is it impossible? Your Majesty is trying to cover up the truth? If the Grand Tutor had not defended you until his death and ordered us not to cause you trouble, we would not be here to seek justice from you now, but - humph!"
"Your Majesty, don't you know how the Grand Tutor treats you? How could you treat the Grand Tutor like this! This is the second time, Your Majesty, this is the second time you have killed him!"
the second time?
Mo Ling was a little confused. He had never had anyone assassinate the Grand Tutor before, so why would it be the second time?
"It's not me! I didn't do it, I'm trying to frame you!" Mo Ling retorted!
Wen Chu's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He looked at Mo Ling coldly and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you go to the Grand Master's spirit and talk to him in person!"
