At this moment, the eyes of the whole audience were on the king.

"Dad, I just short-circuited my brain to talk nonsense, this matter has nothing to do with me! Dad, you must believe me!" Prince Shalai said eagerly.

Although the facts are obvious, Prince Shalai is not going to admit it, he must deny it to the end.

The king glared at him coldly.

The king is not a fool, he is like a mirror in his heart, he knows that a head of guard, without the instructions of others, must not dare to do such a thing.

However, Prince Shalai is his son, and he is also his heir, and he must be kidding.

So the king looked at the head of the guard.

"In the recording, you said my son and Ibry ordered you to do it, right?" the king asked sternly.

"Yes...yes the king." The guard leader could only nod his head.

"Snapped!"

The king slapped the head of the guard directly on the face.

"I think you are clearly failing in revenge and afraid of taking the blame, so you fabricate it, even if it is in the recording, are you lying?" The king shouted.

After the head of the guard received this slap in the face, he was immediately confused.

"King, I...I didn't lie, I...what I said is true, it's really none of my business! I'm just following orders!" The guard leader eagerly said.

"Snapped!"

"Dare to lie!"

The king slapped their faces again.

"Come here, immediately drag him out and kill me!" the king shouted.

"Yes!"

Several guards rushed up immediately, held the guard leader, and went out.

This drastically changed situation once again made both Lin Yun and Yige's expressions drastically changed.

"No! Help, Prince Ignatius, but I helped you tell the truth!" The chief of the guard called for help again and again.

"Dad, he is the only witness who knows the truth, he can't just kill it!" Yi Ge immediately stepped forward to plead.

If the guard leader were killed, there would be no more witnesses.

"He was assassinated in the palace, and he should be put to death. I am doing justice for you and Mr. Lin Yun." The king said slowly with his hands on his back.

Lin Yun couldn't help shook his head.

Lin Yun knew very well in his heart that the king was so anxious to execute the guard leader for the sake of death, to help Prince Shalai, and to make the guard leader take care of all the people.

Lin Yun understood that the king absolutely knew that this matter was instructed by Prince Yig.

But he wanted to impose this guilt on the head of the guard. His purpose in doing so was very simple. He made it clear that he wanted to protect Prince Shalai, and the head of the guard became a scapegoat.

Even the clan chiefs and upper-class nobles who were present knew this well, but they were not stupid enough to say it.

Lin Yun had counted a lot, and even kept all the evidence recorded, thinking that Prince Shalai's army could be taken!

But Lin Yun overlooked one point, ignoring King Shalai's determination to favor his eldest son.

Even if the evidence is as strong as a mountain, King Shalai will be able to evade the guilt in one sentence and shirk the blame for Prince Shalai.

In an instant, the guard leader was dragged out of the hall.

If the patriarchs of the six major families and the nobles who were present would stand up to speak for Yige, there might be a slight chance, but no one speaks for Yige.

The faces of Yige and Lin Yun were not very attractive.

Prince Shalai looked very happy, even looking at Lin Yun and Yige with provocative eyes, as if saying,'Well, you still can't help me'!

King Shalai looked at his second uncle Ibri.

"Ibry, you are responsible for the safety of the palace, but this kind of thing happened. From now on, you will be demoted to one rank and become a Marquis!" King Shalai said with a straight face.

Ibri was originally a duke, the highest rank.

"Yes!" Ibry could only nod.

King Shalai looked at Yige and Lin Yun again.

"Egg, Mr. Lin Yun, the murderer who assassinated you, I have already executed, Yigg, you were frightened this time, just because I also meant to give you the title, I will call you a marquis, and then give you a set outside the palace Marquis's mansion," said King Shalai.

King Shalai’s purpose for doing this is very simple. He also knew that he could not be the master of Yige, so adding a title to Yige was counted as compensation for Yige.

You know, before that, Yige was just an earl. This actually didn't match his identity, and it was enough to show how low he was.

Including Ibry's knighthood, it can be regarded as compensation for Yige, just to eliminate the grievance in Yige's heart.

"Thank you father."

Although Yige was unwilling to achieve such a result, he still had no choice. Increasing the rank of one rank would barely recover a little loss.

"You are also frightened. Go back and rest first." King Shalai waved his hand.

"It's father!" Ignatius bowed.

Soon after, Yi Ge and Lin Yun left.

King Shalai also dismissed the patriarchs and nobles present and asked them to go back to rest.

Lin Yun and Yige walked out of the hall.

"Brother Lin Yun, do you want to treat your wound?" Yi Ge asked.

"It's okay, I just go back and deal with it myself." Lin Yun waved his hand.

For this skin trauma, Lin Yun only needs to take out the bullet, and the wound will heal tomorrow morning. The healing power of a monk is much stronger than that of ordinary people. The higher the realm, the stronger the healing power.

"Brother Lin Yun, I really didn't expect that it would turn out to be like this." Yige shook his head dejectedly.

"It seems that we are impatient now. It's not that easy to defeat your brother." Lin Yun shook his head.

Lin Yun originally thought that with this incident, Prince Shalai's army could be used.

Now it seems that Lin Yun is still thinking too simple, still underestimating King Shalai's determination to protect him.

"Yes, it is enough to see from this incident how important my father’s support is. If I ordered the assassination to be revealed today, even if I was not guilty, it would strip me of all my identity and drive me out of the sand. Lai, what happened to my brother was to excuse him." Yige laughed bitterly at himself.

"Of course it is not without gain. At least let us understand how important your father's support is. It can even be said that whoever he supports can determine the success or failure of someone. In addition, you add a title, which is also a gain." Lin Yun Said.

After a pause, Lin Yun continued: "So our next goal is to get the support of the six major families and many nobles, as well as the support of your dad!"

"I'm just a bastard, and my dad prefers my brother. It's harder to get his support." Yige shook his head.

"Egg, don't forget, we are going on a difficult road. Believe me, although no one supports you now, no one speaks for you, it will gradually get better." Lin Yun shot Pat Ignatius on the shoulder.

"Hmm!" Yi Ge nodded vigorously.

After so many things, Yi Ge didn't know why, he inexplicably believed in Lin Yun...
