Everyone's mood could not calm down for a long time.
However, Jiang Fan's current state was completely different from everyone else.
He first called the waiter over to change a new pot of tea leaves for him, then carefully tasted the new tea leaves.
He even sighed inwardly. Although the tea leaves of the Fine Cloud Brothel were considered first-class, they could not be compared to the Rain Soaked by Qing Niao.
After all, the green bird had personally brewed the "Myriad Golden Rain". How could ordinary tea leaves compare to it?
When Shangguan Hai Tang and the others had digested most of the information, Jiang Fan finally spoke.
He whispered to Shangguan Haitang,"
"Actually, your foster father, Ironguts Deity Marquis Zhu Bujue, was not only ambitious, he also tried to covet the Great Ming Divine Artifact and even had the ambition to usurp the throne.”
Although Jiang Fan's voice wasn't particularly loud, every martial artist present heard it clearly.
Even though their hearts had been baptized by Jiang Fan's story, they were able to withstand it very well.
However, what Jiang Fan said shocked everyone.
"Covet the Great Ming Divine Artifact?"
"And he tried to usurp the throne?"
Obviously, they still couldn't believe their ears.
However, their rationality told them that Jiang Fan's words had never been wrong.
After all, Jiang Fan's current prestige and reputation could be said to be the greatest in the entire martial world.
However, they were shocked. Wasn't this Zhu Bujue a little too bold?
It was one thing for him to frame the undefeatable naughty boy, Gu Santong, but now he actually had such a bold idea.
No matter how much Zhu Bujue had gone overboard, it was still a matter of the martial world. Moreover, with Zhu Bujue's power and status, the imperial family would definitely not interfere in this matter.
However, when Zhu Bujue wanted to lay his hands on the Great Ming Divine Artifact and attempted to usurp the throne, the nature of this matter had completely changed.
After all, how could the emperor, the highest authority in the current dynasty, allow such a ridiculous thing to happen under his nose?
And those who tried to seize power since ancient times only had two endings.
Firstly, he could overthrow the current emperor and successfully ascend to the throne, becoming the Nine Five Supreme.
Secondly, if the usurper failed, then nine families would be implicated.
With only these two outcomes, nothing unexpected would happen.
Could it be that after the usurper failed, the emperor was merciful and gave him a way out?
This was absolutely impossible!
No one would be stupid enough to do such a thing.
After all, everyone understood the principle of killing the chicken to warn the monkeys.
If the people in power were soft-hearted, then there would definitely be others who had the same thoughts.
This way, wouldn't everyone be able to piss on the emperor's head?
However, how could such a thing happen?
To kill a chicken to warn the monkeys, one had to be ruthless enough.
Those who tried to usurp the throne would not have the courage to do so. If he wanted to do it, he had to make everyone feel afraid.
This way, the country would not easily fall into his hands.
Shangguan Hai Tang's heart was obviously in a mess after hearing Jiang Fan's words.
"Impossible!"
"My foster father is definitely not such a person!”
Shangguan Haitang was a little angry. She felt that Jiang Fan was making a joke out of her foster father.
However, the two sentences she said just now were clearly not confident enough.
In fact, she also knew that with Jiang Fan's world-shaking divination skills, there was absolutely no reason for him to lie to her.
Moreover, why would Jiang Fan lie to him?
Could it be that he was after his appearance?
Shangguan Haitang quickly denied this answer. Although Qing Niao wasn't by Jiang Fan's side at the moment, based on the rumors in the martial world, Qing Niao wasn't inferior to her.
Moreover, Qing Niao had been by Jiang Fan's side for such a long time.
Just as Shangguan Haitang was letting her imagination run wild, Jiang Fan's next words completely shattered the last bit of hope that she had for Iron-guts Deity Marquis Zhu.
Jiang Fan said indifferently,"
"Actually, there's something else going on when Brother Shangguan's family was exterminated.”
Shangguan Haitang was startled.
"Could it be that this matter is also related to Zhu Bujue?”
"Moreover, with Mister Jiang Fan's intelligence, he definitely wouldn't say something unimportant.”
"Could it be that this is the truth?"
Thinking of this, Shangguan Hai Tang felt that her heart had completely collapsed.
These short 18 words were like a violent thunderbolt, completely shattering the last line of defense in Shangguan Haitang's heart.
She wanted to cry, but there were no tears. After all, so many years of experience had almost smoothed out all her emotions.
She sat quietly on the chair, her eyes empty and lifeless, as if her consciousness had been taken away.
His entire body was emitting a sense of sadness, but it was impossible to tell where he was sad.
This was the saddest thing in the world.
However, at least her heart was not as fragile as glass. In a short while, she completely calmed down.
After all, he had witnessed his entire family being killed when he was young. This kind of thing did not seem particularly difficult to accept.
At this moment, her eyes turned from empty to abnormally firm.
She had to figure out the connection behind these things. A raging fire was burning in her heart.
Then, she decided to immediately investigate the truth.
Since he had made up his mind, it was naturally time to move.
Shangguan Hai Tang finished the cup of tea that Jiang Fan had poured for her in one gulp. Then, she stood up and took out a thick stack of 10,000 taels of silver from her bosom. She handed it to Jiang Fan with both hands.
She said,"
"Thank you for today's matter, Mister Jiang Fan.”
After she finished speaking, she gave Jiang Fan a formal bow. Then, he continued,
"I won't stay any longer. I hope Mr. Jiang can take care of himself.”
After saying that, Shangguan Haitang quickly left.
Jiang Fan could understand Shangguan Haitang's feelings at this moment. After all, no matter who encountered such a situation, they would not be able to remain calm.
Jiang Fan looked at Shangguan Hai Tang's back as she left. Then, he packed up his stall and left under everyone's gaze.
