Chapter 130: Pursuit
In the hall lined with bookshelves and buried under mountains of documents, the silence was so complete one could hear a pin drop.
Faced with Fu Qiwen's overwhelming and terrifying aura, Zeng Hai, prostrated on the floor, trembled from head to toe. He opened his mouth with difficulty, wanting to recount the matter of Li Zhu's corpse once more.
But Fu Qiwen had appeared at his side at some unknown moment, and asked in a low, stern voice, "Where is the Third Prince's body now? Does anyone else know of this?"
Zeng Hai did not dare lift his head, and answered in a quavering voice, "This subordinate has hidden the Third Prince's body and then came to find you at the first opportunity, without telling anyone in the meantime."
Fu Qiwen, his brows and hair half white, bore deep lines on his face, and his expression was grave beyond measure.
He had asked Li Musheng to help him deal with the Third Prince and the like, while he himself poured every bit of his attention into handling Tianjin Guards affairs and preparing for the extermination of Falling God Peak.
And this was how the man had helped?
He had actually gone and done away with the person he was meant to deal with, and the person he had done away with was another prince, no less.
The sheer audacity of it. How could he dare kill the Third Prince?
