Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Chapter 93: This King Gives You Three Feet of White Silk, You Commit Suicide

Seeing the dark Lu Mansion, Wei Chen instantly became alert.

Then he looked towards the inner courtyard, where only the inner courtyard had a faint light.

Wei Chen also knew that King Xiaoyao had gathered all his servants. He thought that King Xiaoyao was just going to say something to those servants and would soon let them go, so he didn't take it to heart.

After waiting for an hour and seeing no one coming back, he felt something was wrong, but he still chose not to leave the yard. After all, he chose to pretend to be sick, and it would be difficult to explain if he left the yard and was seen by King Xiaoyao.

But now two hours have passed and the servants still haven't returned.

Wei Chen immediately went back to his room, picked up his crutches, and pretended to limp towards the martial arts training ground. He wanted to see what that useless King Xiaoyao was doing. What was he doing with all the servants he recruited? There was not even anyone to serve him.

at the same time.

The study in Lu Mansion.

When Lu Ming entered the study, he saw the room was full of dust, and he became even more angry.

These servants are simply lawless. Xiaoyao Palace pays them money to support them, but they don't even clean their rooms.

At this moment, the voices of Li Yunfan and Shi Yuheng rang out from the study door, "Your Majesty, we are here."

Lu Ming had originally planned to look for the two of them, but the maliciousness of the servants in the Lu Mansion made Lu Ming feel very uncomfortable, so he cleared out the servants first.

"Come in and close the door."

Then the two of them entered the room and closed the door.

Li Yunfan took the initiative to say: "My lord, someone has confessed. Steward Wei..."

Before Li Yunfan could finish his words, Lu Ming interrupted him, "Let's talk about this later."

He had already guessed that there was something wrong with the old man Wei Chen. When his father was still alive, Wei Chen was at least the steward of Xiaoyao Palace. However, after coming to Zhuangzi, he managed the Lu Mansion into what it is today. It would be strange if he had no problems.

Lu Ming directly took out two Body Tempering Pills from his sleeve and said to Li Yunfan and Shi Yuheng, "These are Body Tempering Pills. After taking them, they will help you quickly reach the first level."

Hearing Lu Ming's words, Li Yunfan and Shi Yuheng were stunned.

They had never heard of the Body Tempering Pill, but what Lu Ming said about it being able to help the two of them quickly reach the first level meant that this pill was extraordinary.

Generally speaking, things that can help people improve their strength quickly usually have great side effects.

Although the two also wanted to raise their realm to the first level as soon as possible, they hesitated when they thought of the possible side effects of the elixir.

Seeing that the two did not take the pills immediately, Lu Ming added: "These two pills are immortal pills and have no side effects."

Hearing this, the two were stunned again.

Elixir?

Li Yunfan was the first to come back to his senses and took a body-tempering pill from Lu Ming's hand. The next moment, Li Yunfan felt a violent force surging into the meridians of his limbs.

Li Yunfan was already on the verge of a breakthrough, but he hadn't been able to do so mainly because the Xiaoyao Palace had been short of money in recent years and was unable to provide Li Yunfan with the medicinal herbs needed for martial arts practice.

Li Yunfan endured the severe pain all over his body. After a moment, a ball of true energy burst out from Li Yunfan's body. The true energy blew the dust in the study away. In an instant, the whole room was filled with dust.

After Li Yunfan recovered, he felt the surging Qi in his body, and he was extremely excited. He quickly half-knelt down and said to Lu Ming, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the elixir!!!"

Shi Yuheng was stunned when he felt the aura of a first-class warrior emanating from Li Yunfan.

So fast?
Their king only said it would be fast, but didn't say how fast. Li Yunfan had just taken the pill, and he broke through directly. Isn't this too fast?

This is similar to the Blood Burning Pill and Blood Explosion Pill used by martial artists. Lu Ming said, "Get up. You two have been working diligently over the years to protect the safety of the entire palace. This pill is what you deserve."

At this point, Lu Ming looked at Shi Yuheng, "Deputy Commander Shi, don't you want the pills?"

After hearing what Lu Ming said, Shi Yuheng came back to his senses. He quickly took the pill from Lu Ming's hand and swallowed it in one gulp.

Like Li Yunfan, the moment Shi Yuheng swallowed the pill, a violent force rushed into his meridians, and then he directly stepped into the first level.

Shi Yuheng also quickly half-knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the elixir."

Lu Ming said, "Everyone, get up. Now it's time to talk about Wei Chen."

The two men stood up immediately, and Li Yunfan immediately said to Lu Ming: "According to the testimony of those servants, after Wei Chen came to the Lu Mansion, he also managed the Lu Mansion and the entire manor seriously at the beginning."

"But after you, Your Majesty, transferred Deputy Commander Shi back to Xiaoyao Palace, and there was no one to watch over him, Wei Chen took it upon himself to be the master of the manor. Whatever he said was the law, and he could sell anything in the Lu Mansion at will."

"Also, Wei Chen seems to have connections with certain forces. He keeps some carrier pigeons in his yard, and he often uses them to deliver messages to other forces."

"As for what message he conveyed, we don't know for the time being. I have already sent people to Wei Chen to keep an eye on him."

Lu Ming said, "That's quite interesting."

At this moment, a soldier said at the door: "My king, the steward wants to see you."

Hearing this, Li Yunfan was stunned for a moment. He only asked the soldiers to watch Wei Chen, but did not ask them to bring him here.

Lu Ming said, "Come in."

The next moment, the study door opened and a hunchbacked old man limped into the study with a cane.

As soon as he entered the study, Wei Chen knelt down on the ground, "Your Majesty, I am guilty!"

……

Lu Ming was slightly stunned. Before he could ask, he was the first to confess.

but……

Lu Ming sensed the malice and murderous intent emanating from Wei Chen, and could not help but sneer, "Butler Wei, you've devoted yourself to the Lu family, what crime could you possibly have committed?"

Hearing Lu Ming's tone, Wei Chen was startled. As expected...

He was just about to go to the training ground to see what was going on, but as soon as he walked out of the yard, he noticed several soldiers in the nearby yard. He instantly guessed that something had happened to those servants.

Fortunately, those servants only served him, and he seldom told them about his own affairs.

All he needs to do now is to confess his guilt and tell what he has done. With his previous status as the old King Xiaoyao's right-hand man and his advanced age, the King Xiaoyao should not cause him any trouble.

Wei Chen said directly: "I shouldn't have taken the things from the palace out to sell without permission."

"I have failed the late king's trust. I beg your majesty to punish me."

Lu Ming chuckled. No wonder Wei Chen came forward to confess his guilt. It turned out that he wanted to use his father to pressure him.

When his father was still alive, Wei Chen did manage the entire Xiaoyao Palace in an orderly manner. In the thirty years before his father's death, Wei Chen relied on his own abilities to earn a lot of money for his father.

Lu Ming was too lazy to argue with Wei Chen. It was impossible for him to keep a person who was full of malice and murderous intentions towards him, even if this person had made great contributions to Xiaoyao Palace.

Lu Ming said directly: "You have indeed failed to live up to the trust of the late king. I will give you a three-foot white silk. Please commit suicide."
