Two Intent Condensation Grandmasters, each the head of a major faction, silenced every dissenting voice the moment they arrived.
Lin Hao went over and whispered to the Transport Commissioner, while the Purple-Eyed Divine Constable whispered to the Marquis of Divine Might. Both men nodded before turning their gazes to Yi Zhongyong at the same time.
Wait, why are you two first-rank officials looking at me...
Yi Zhongyong hurriedly said, "Everything that happened earlier was Duan Qianhu's personal actions. Now that Duan Qianhu is dead, please don't misunderstand."
He shoved everything onto a dead man. Now even Yi Zhongyong thought it was rather good that Duan Qianhu had died.
"Hah, suicide to escape punishment? Perhaps it would have implicated something bigger. Admirably loyal, at least."
Yin Zhengchun snorted.
"We came because Lin Gongshi was a suspect. Although there was no evidence, he certainly had the ability to do it, and he had no alibi. This was merely reasonable suspicion. There was nothing particularly wrong with that."
Although Yi Zhongyong did not want to provoke that troublesome fellow personally again, he now had no choice but to actually "reason" with them.
The Southern Pacification Commissioner of the Embroidered Uniform Guard coming forward to reason with people-this really was unprecedented...
"Hah, I'm strong enough too. Should you suspect me as well?"
Yin Zhengchun gave a cold smile, making sweat bead on Yi Zhongyong's forehead. He hurriedly said, "Lin Gongshi had a little grievance with the deceased..."
Although somewhat forced, there was nothing really wrong with his words. Lin Hao had previously had a conflict with Shen Jiyan, and now that he had displayed a vindictive streak, the explanation barely held together.
At the very least, making a reasonable assumption could not really be called wrong. Duan Qianhu would shoulder the blame for everything
