Gods: Starting with the Goblins

When the officers and soldiers heard this, they immediately turned their attention to Luo Dan on the ground.

I looked at his clothes up and down. He was relatively ordinary and didn't look like a rich man.

Luo Dan, I have never heard of any rich man named Luo. He should be just an ordinary civilian, and it is enough for him to be used for business.

As a result, the officials surrounded Luo Dan, looking very angry.

"Lodan, right? Who are you? What is your relationship with the princess? Did you do what happened today?"

Hearing such a series of questions, Luo Dan felt a little embarrassed.

"Well……"

How would he answer this question?

"I do have some friendship with the princess, but I didn't kill the princess."

Finally, he stood up, patted the non-existent dust on his body, and answered calmly.

"Nonsense, it's not you who else. You and the princess are the only ones here who know each other, and you are a new face. You are the most suspicious."

Everyone may be trying to evade the suspicion on themselves, so as long as they catch the one with the greatest suspicion, they won't let go at all.

The others also spoke to each other, as if they had already convicted Luo Dan.

Luo Dan's expression was always calm and he just repeated this.

"It's true that I didn't do this. There's no need for me to do anything to the princess."

The officer glanced at the princess, at Luo Dan, then at the other dignitaries, and immediately ordered his men to surround him.

"I don't care who you are, and I don't care whether this matter has anything to do with you or not. You are a new face following the princess. You are the most suspicious. Take her away. You must come with me today!"

It's not just a trip. If it's not necessary, I probably won't be able to get out.

Luo Dan pursed his lips, and a hint of irritation flashed across his brows.

What's all this?

If I had known earlier, he would not have come to attend this stupid poetry party. Now, not only did something happen to the princess, but she also got herself involved.

If it weren't for repaying this favor, there wouldn't be such a troublesome situation.

But Luo Dan did not fall out after all, and allowed the officials to take him away.

The pure will become clear, and the turbid will become turbid.

If he didn't let them take the person away, he would look guilty.

After Luo Dan and his party were taken away, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone began to discuss the matter of the princess.

"What should I do? If such a serious thing happens, will it involve us? Will it involve our family?"

"No, it definitely won't be. Hasn't a scapegoat been pulled out now?"

As soon as this man spoke, almost everyone else understood what he meant.

"You mean..."

"Yes, as long as we firmly confirm that it is the man named Rodan, the people above will not be able to hold us accountable, and we will naturally be able to escape the blame."

"However, we are not sure yet whether it was the new face who did it."

"No matter who did this, there must be a scapegoat. Otherwise, everyone will suffer. In order to completely solve the problem, people in the government will only blame each other. If there is no problem for us, they will also blame it." It’s better to blame it all on us than on that new face, at least we can be saved.”

Everyone was silent now, actually acquiescing to this matter.

So they told the officials one after another that they were saying that Luo Dan was the most likely suspect and that he was most likely the murderer.

The people in the government are also eager to do business, and will undoubtedly regard them as a group of murderers.

Several people from Rodan went to jail.

Xiaobai dragged his chin, his face full of dissatisfaction.

"Master, didn't we originally go out for shopping? Why did we become a prisoner? I don't want to be a prisoner at all, otherwise we can use some magic to leave."

"No, Xiaobai, I know you can escape, but we can't leave at will. Once we run away, my crime will be unclear."

Seeing that he was stopped, Xiaobai pursed his lips, looking very unhappy and even more resentful.

"Then what should we do? Can we just stay in this prison and wait for death? This is a broken prison. It's not good at all to stay here."

"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you. I will find a way to get you out."

Although he didn't use jailbreak, Rodan also had his own method.

When the official came to interrogate him, he looked at him coldly.

The officers and soldiers were shocked when they suddenly came into contact with this look.

Then, thinking about the difference in status between the two, he immediately became tough again.

"Hmph, what are you staring at? A traitor and traitor, just an assassin, dares to glare at officers and soldiers casually. Don't think that your cultivation is great. Let me tell you, when this matter is reported to the emperor and the emperor has punished him, you They will definitely be torn into pieces, and they will not be able to survive or die!"

The corner of Luodan's mouth curled up into a sneer.

Not only was he not afraid of what this officer and soldier said, he even looked interested.

Seeing the other party's high interest, the officers and soldiers' hearts skipped a beat.

There must be something wrong with this person, right?

For the first time, I saw someone who was not afraid of being imprisoned, and was even in the mood to laugh.

"Okay, then why don't you report this matter to the emperor, you must be quick, and then you can see if the emperor will kill me, and do you dare to kill me?"

Perhaps because his attitude was too determined, the officers and soldiers were slightly stunned.

"You, who are you?"

He had heard from the dignitaries of the Poetry Society that this person was brought in by the princess, who even said she was his friend.

Now, he actually said that even the emperor would not dare to kill him.

Is it possible that this person really has something to rely on?

The officers and soldiers were not sure. It was impossible to capture even a big one.

"Don't ask me about the specifics. Go and ask the Emperor and the matter will become clear. If you don't want a big disaster to happen, you'd better tell the Emperor my name, Luo Dan. Then you can see how the Emperor will deal with me."

Luo Dan seemed extremely confident and did not panic at all about reporting to the emperor.

The officers and soldiers looked at him, a strange look flashed in their eyes, and their mood was quite complicated.

Later, for the sake of his own future, he decided to take a gamble.

It didn't mention much, just the word "Lodan" was posted.

Unexpectedly, the reaction from the superiors was so big, and an imperial edict was immediately issued.

The imperial edict clearly states that Luo Dan and others must be released and treated with courtesy. Anyone who dares to disobey will be punished.

The officers and soldiers swallowed, but fortunately they asked the emperor in advance.

If he beheaded first and then reported, and the emperor then learned the identity of this person, perhaps the entire government would suffer from top to bottom, and everyone would suffer jointly.

The leaders of the officers and soldiers were also frightened and broke into a cold sweat, and they quickly went to release the people.

"Luo, Mr. Luo, we are blind and do not recognize Taishan. We treat you as a prisoner. It is all our fault. It is the fault of the lower official. I hope that you, sir, will have a lot of money. Don't blame the lower official!"

He looked at the prefect kneeling in front of him and a large number of officers and soldiers behind him.

Rodan just sneered, said nothing, and walked past them.

When the people in the government saw this, their hearts sank.

The magistrate was even more cruel and came to kneel before him and presented him with the treasure.

"Young Master Luo, you have a lot. Don't argue with the younger ones. Everything is small. This is the most precious treasure in my house. I am willing to dedicate it to Young Master Luo to settle the misunderstanding between the two of us."

Luo Dan looked at the worried prefect and finally softened his heart.

He didn't accept anything and pushed the things back.

"No, you don't need to give me anything. I don't need it, and I don't like it. As for this matter, let's forget it for now. However, the ugly words are ahead. You must cooperate with me and assist me in the next thing. Let’s find the murderer together. If you do such cheating again, no matter how much you beg me, you will die!”

Luo Dan's behavior actually represented his attitude. He looked down upon the treasure in the hands of the prefect.

For him, the most important thing is to find the murderer, and the most important thing is justice.

The people in the government quickly wiped away their sweat and nodded repeatedly without saying anything.

"You are right. Mr. Luo said it, and we will definitely do it."

"By the way, the emperor has sent an envoy. He is currently in the side hall, waiting to see Mr. Luo. Mr. Luo, please come here."

Luodan did not shirk, and quickly followed the guidance to the side room.

That person was none other than the most respected father-in-law around the emperor.

When the father-in-law saw him, he gave a big salute without saying anything.

"Mr. Luo, it's been a long time since we last seen each other. How are you lately?"

When the people in the government saw this scene, they were even more upset in their hearts.

I didn't expect that this person had such strong connections. Not only was he honored by the emperor, but even the father-in-law around the emperor respected him so much. It was obvious that this person's identity was really extraordinary.

The officers and soldiers were so angry that they couldn't catch anyone, so they wanted to catch him.

Now it's good, I'm in trouble, I'm really in bad luck.

The officers and soldiers couldn't help but hold their breath at this moment, for fear of being noticed.

"Mr. Luo, our family has also received an order from the emperor. The emperor has something to ask Mr. Luo. He hopes that Mr. Luo can save the princess. The doctors at the imperial hospital are also helpless. The emperor really has no other way. After much deliberation, he can only think of Young Master."

"I understand. After all, I have some friendship with the princess. We can be considered friends. I will not sit idly by and ignore the princess's affairs."

After receiving a positive answer, even the father-in-law couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then comes the big boast.

"I know that Mr. Luo is a kind and righteous person. With Mr. Luo taking action, the princess must have a chance of survival."

"You don't have to say that. I'll do my best. Take me to see the princess first."

The father-in-law did not delay and quickly took him into the palace to see the princess.

After Rodin saw the princess, he felt for her pulse with his finger.

After some diagnosis, his brows furrowed slightly and his expression became unusually serious.

"The princess's poison needs a magical elixir."

"Oh, I wonder if Mr. Luo has it. What kind of flavor is it?"

"White mountain grass."

"Ah, although our family doesn't know much about it, we have heard the names of some rare herbs, and this is one of them. If you want to find it, you will have to spend a lot of effort, and now I don't know where to look."

Rodan nodded.

"Everything is not easy. I did have this herb before, but I have used it. It seems that I have to look for it now."

Originally, the eunuch couldn't help but feel a little happy when he heard that he had this herb.

I just didn't expect that the next one would be bad news, or bad news that came from a strange combination of circumstances.

"Ah? Have you used it? Why is it such a coincidence? The princess is really unlucky."

If the medicine was still in Mr. Luo's hands, there might still be a glimmer of hope.

"Mr. Luo, I can only trouble you with this matter. The emperor can't think of a solution, and the people in the Imperial Hospital can't think of a solution. Considering the friendship between the princess and Mr. Luo, I hope you can do your best to save her."

The eunuch said, tears welled up in his eyes. He was also a man of temperament.

Later, he even wanted to kneel down to him.

Seeing this, Luo Dan immediately reached out to stop him and supported him in time.

"Mr. Luo, what are you doing? It's really embarrassing for me. After all, you are older than me. You really shouldn't do such a big honor."

The eunuch wiped his eyes and smiled embarrassedly.

"Mr. Luo, please don't be surprised. I have watched the princess grow up since she was a child. After leaving the palace, I opened my own residence. Although I didn't see her much, the affection we had when we were young was not fake. But seeing the girl I have watched grow up lying on the bed dying like this, I feel really bad."

"In addition to the emperor's request to you, I am also begging you to do your best to save the princess and not let a young girl die here. She is still so young, has not found a husband, and has not given birth to children. She should not live like this..."

The eunuch looked at the woman on the bed with melancholy, as if he recalled the princess' childhood many years ago.

So cute, so lively.

The princess grew up to be noble and beautiful, but unfortunately fate did not favor her.

Luo Dan walked forward, hesitated for a moment, and patted the eunuch on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, eunuch. Since I have taken on this task, I will definitely work hard to find the corresponding herbs for the princess. I am not talented, but I am 50% sure."

"Okay, okay, the princess can like someone like you. She is indeed a good vision. I am not wrong about you. Master Luo, then everything is up to you. If you need any help, just ask. The emperor will definitely satisfy you."

"Not yet. If you need anything, I will definitely ask."

Luo Dan thought about it and suddenly called out to Pei Sheng behind him.

"Pei Sheng."

Pei Sheng was originally standing a little further away. He did not have a very high status and did not know the eunuchs in the palace.

He even saw his captain talking to the eunuch, and he felt a little envious and admiring in his heart.

He is worthy of being the captain. Even the eunuchs from the palace have to admire him.

He also used such honorifics. It must be that this is not the first time they have dealt with each other.

But he never expected that the captain suddenly called his name.

After a moment of hesitation, he came to the crowd without saying a word.

"Captain, what do you want me to do? Is there anything you want me to do?"

He positioned himself as a subordinate, and his first reaction was that there was a task for him, probably something about the princess. (End of this chapter)
