Free Web NovelChapter 3321: Chapter 3322: No Useless People Allowed
No wonder, Lord Ming has always wanted to find the person who steals infants, yet the Ghost Emperor has been dragging his feet, treating it as if it were a trivial matter.
It turns out, it’s not because the matter is trivial, but because it’s orchestrated by the Ghost Emperor himself.
"Useless!"
A ghost guard heard his words and flung him aside.
He had already signaled to this man to take the blame, claiming he had seen suspicious people coming over.
Who would have known that this ghost guard is so clueless, stubbornly refusing to play along.
The ghost guard leader was thrown aside, but he stood up, took a few steps back, and continued standing there, watching the Ghost Emperor and his trusted ghost guards putting on a show.
"Ghost Emperor, what is going on?"
Shortly thereafter, Lord Ming arrived with a large number of ghost guards, almost frightened by the sight of the numerous infants scattered around.
"Your Majesty..."
The Ghost Emperor wanted to explain, claiming that the matter has nothing to do with him.
But Lord Ming didn’t give him the chance to explain, directly shouting at the people behind him.
"Quickly, wrap these children up, go find the Fragmented Tree Powder, and feed them."
"Yes, Lord Ming."
Upon hearing his words, some ghost guards took off their red cloaks and swaddled the children, carrying them out.
Some infants stopped crying after being held, but others cried more intensely. Their misfortune lay in encountering a cruel person like the Ghost Emperor, who wouldn’t even feed them a full meal. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
"Ghost Emperor, should you not give us an explanation, why are so many infants outside your sleeping quarters?" After the children were taken away, Lord Ming looked at the Ghost Emperor, asking coldly.
Also, some ministers, along with a few old courtiers who had served the previous Ghost Emperor, glared at the Ghost Emperor with anger.
Everyone clearly understood that this matter was orchestrated by the Ghost Emperor.
Yet the Ghost Emperor refuses to admit it.
"How would I know? Who is trying to frame me again? Ming, I am giving you three days to thoroughly investigate this matter. I do not tolerate useless individuals under my command."
Seeing that his deeds were exposed, he didn’t want to argue with Lord Ming anymore and ordered him with a cold face.
"You—"
Lord Ming was nearly infuriated by his words.
"Ghost Emperor, do you truly wish to investigate this matter? If I find the truth, can you bear the consequences?"
Taking a deep breath, he sincerely looked at the Ghost Emperor and asked.
"Why should I not bear it?" The Ghost Emperor chuckled coldly, retorting.
He hasn’t left any evidence behind; Gui Ming still wants to trace it back to him? He is confident they won’t find anything.
On the contrary, if Gui Ming finds nothing after three days, he can find an excuse to send him away, ensuring he can’t reside in the Ghost Palace anymore.
Originally, the Ghost Palace belongs solely to him, the Ghost Emperor; why should Gui Ming, merely a subject, live with him in the Ghost Palace?
"Quickly take your people to investigate this thoroughly; I have other important matters and cannot afford delays here."
With that, he lifted his foot and walked toward his sleeping quarters, showing no intention of lingering.
