Raiders of the fast crossing target characters

Inside the palace.

In the main hall, the middle-aged man had cold sweat on his forehead, his hands were handcuffed, and he looked up at the person above him with some forced calm.

"Your Majesty." Aubrey said in a low tone, "You can't beat me up and arrest me for no reason. This is already against the imperial regulations, right?"

The imperial ministers below also began to whisper and discuss.

Even they didn't know why the young emperor suddenly captured Aubrey who was far away in the chaotic galaxy.

Some people even thought that Huo Xiao's move was a bit inappropriate.

Aubrey's identity is not an ordinary person. To be called an aristocrat, he naturally has some family background.His ancestor had an extraordinary status, a great nobleman, and when it was his turn to inherit the title of nobleman, even though the empire had become a democratic republic, he was still a man of noble status.

Everyone still has a little bit of respect for him.

But they can also guess one thing, probably this nobleman did some inappropriate things in the chaotic galaxy, which attracted Huo Xiao's attention.

They couldn't help but wait and see with some anticipation how the emperor would deal with this slippery Lord Aubrey.

Huo Xiao, who was at the top, put his hands on the armrests of the chair, and said calmly: "It's not for no reason. I have already sent someone to find out what you have done these years."

Aubrey felt that he was deceiving himself: "What did I do? What is His Majesty planning to blame on me?"

Huo Xiao smiled slightly.

He raised a hand, and Pei Songye who was beside him immediately handed him a stack of documents. Huo Xiao held up the document and said, "This is the evidence that your Excellency communicated with the Abyss organization and sold arms to them."

Aubrey fixed his eyes on the thing in his hand, and pursed his lips, "...that's fake! Someone wants to slander me!"

"To be honest, you don't need to be slandered by others." Huo Xiao said lightly: "There is a saying that is good, no matter how you cover up what you have done, there will always be traces. I have paid attention to you for a long time, and sent someone to It's not a recent thing to check you."

Aubrey was still pretending to be innocent: "...Your Majesty, I really don't know what I did wrong to be insulted by you like this!"

"Your acting skills are really good." Pei Songye walked up to him with a smile and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't forget, Your Excellency is also a citizen of the Empire. Even if you moved to the Chaos Galaxy a long time ago, it doesn't mean that Your Majesty I'll turn a blind eye to what you've done."

When the ministers saw it, they murmured in their hearts: Consul Pei really protects the calf as always.

"Pei Qing, come back." Huo Xiao said calmly, "Your Excellency Aubrey hasn't had time to clean up the dust on his body since he landed. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to get too close to him."

Aubrey's face turned green. Isn't that saying he's dirty in front of so many people?

It's not that he didn't want to take a bath, he was imprisoned since he landed, and he never had a chance to take a bath!

But that's not the point.

"Your Majesty... I'm already half buried, and I moved to the Chaos Galaxy just to live a clean life! And the empire needs donations, disaster relief and so on. How often have I not paid? It's really chilling to be wronged like this by someone with a heart!"

He began to change the tricks again.

"Your Excellency, if you don't want to be an actor, it's really a waste." Huo Xiao laughed, "I really thought that I couldn't stretch my hand so long, so I couldn't know what you were doing in the chaotic galaxy to help the Abyss organize to occupy the galaxy. The evidence is solid, I I don't intend to argue with you, the main purpose is to ask another person."

He turned his gaze and landed on Marshal Yan Kai who was at the front of the crowd.

Marshal Yan Kai was dressed in a neat military uniform with a majestic expression. When Huo Xiao watched him, he immediately took a step forward.

"His Majesty."

"Master Marshal." Huo Xiao asked, "I just want to ask you, do you know about Aubrey being a traitor? If you know, then I'm really disappointed in you..."

Although Marshal Yan Kai has a bad temper and is a bit tricky, he is doing it for the good of the empire.Huo Xiao never imagined that he actually found out that Marshal Yan Kai and Aubrey had been in contact all along, and even made it easier for him.

Marshal Yan Kai turned his head to look at Aubrey, was silent for a few seconds, then lowered his head and said, "...Your Majesty, I really don't know about this matter."

"Oh?" The corners of Huo Xiao's eyes raised slightly, "Is that so? Then you were also deceived by him, so you will help him turn around and open the door for him?"

"……Yes."

Marshal Yan Kai didn't argue too much, he knew in his heart that it would be useless to say any more at this moment.

From the moment he saw Aubrey being taken to Sigi, he knew that he had been cheated.

What's ridiculous is that he, who has always felt that he has no regrets in his heart, has mistakenly believed in a person who was once kind to him.

As others have heard, he does have frequent contacts with Aubrey. Many years ago, the two had some conflicts because of a trivial matter, and Aubrey moved to a distant Chaos galaxy.

He always thought it was his fault, so he wanted to make up for it, and he didn't want to lose this friend and benefactor.But who knows... In the end, he is helping the evildoers.

At this time, it was obvious that the more he said, the more wrong he was.

Yan Kai also had no intention of explaining, this matter was indeed his fault.

Huo Xiao observed his reaction, taking every slight change in his expression into his eyes.He probably guessed the reason for Marshal Yan Kai's reaction at this time.

He took back his disappointment and turned calm.

Fortunately, he was not betrayed.

However, as the Emperor of the Empire, there are certain things he must do.

"Come here." He said, "Put Aubrey under arrest and wait for trial. All his property will be confiscated, and the slaves will be set free. As for Marshal Yan Kai, he will step down as marshal first and suspend his post for investigation."

"Yes."

The ministers looked at each other, sighed and shook their heads.

Marshal Yan Kai's fame in this life has been overturned just like that.

It seems that he has no intention of resisting His Majesty's will at all, which is recognition.

His whole person also seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.

But... "The Marshal really colluded with the nobles and worked for the Abyss Organization?" A minister whispered to discuss with the people around him.

"Who knows, this matter... depends on the final investigation results."

"makes sense."

After Aubrey and Marshal Yan Kai were taken down, Huo Xiao continued: "Everyone, there is one more thing. Marshal Qin Heng went to Nopwang Star to destroy the Abyss Organization laboratory this time, and found that they were conducting a kind of A creepy experiment..."

After listening, the faces of all the ministers were shocked and heavy.

"What? The abyss organization is doing such a thing?"

"They are going to use this technology to deal with the empire!" Someone shouted.

"I know." Huo Xiao said, "What we have to do is to inform all the spiritual power users so that they don't fall into the hands of the abyss organization, otherwise, the empire will not be able to save them."

"Your Majesty is right." The ministers agreed with sweat.

"Speaking of which, how is the Dawn Project of the Imperial Research Institute going?" Someone also asked with concern.

It is about the military affairs of the empire, and almost everyone is focusing on it.

"If I remember correctly, this plan has been in progress for several years...but there has been no progress notification for a long time. The money spent by the empire can't be wasted, right?"

Some ministers expressed doubts.

Is this dawn plan really reliable?Could it be that the empire spent money, but did nothing?

But I really can't tell.

Huo Xiao replied calmly: "Because this matter is confidential, I will not inform you of course, and you don't have to worry so much. The Empire has the best scientific researchers in the whole interstellar. Don't you have any confidence in them?"

"This...of course not, no." The ministers hurriedly apologized.

Aren't they also anxious? After all, they don't know anything about scientific research, and what they are best at is probably being a politician. It is normal for them to question things they don't understand.

The most important thing is that this plan really embezzled a lot of money from the empire, everyone thought in their hearts.

I don't know what Professor Vito and that young Professor Zhuo are doing.

Just as the hearts of the crowd were beating, a deep and imposing voice came from behind them.

"I heard that someone is questioning Project Dawn?"

Everyone quickly turned around to see, what a guy, it turned out to be Qin Heng.

The man was still wearing a black military uniform, the cloak behind him was swinging as he walked, his eyes were slightly cold, and the military boots on his feet stepped on the ground, making a sonorous and forceful sound.

The voice seemed to shake everyone's heart, and the ministers shrank their necks unconsciously, as if they were a little guilty.

This... was actually heard by him. We all know that the Liming Project is in charge of Qin Heng's lover Zhuoxi. They are questioning this plan here, isn't it obvious that they are questioning the young man.

No one dared to respond, but Huo Xiao greeted the man with a smile: "Marshal Qin Heng, do you need me for anything?"

"Yes." The man said, "People from the First Legion have found another laboratory of the Abyss Organization. They will set off in half an hour and come to speak to His Majesty."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Marshal." Huo Xiao said very considerately, "I wish you a triumphant return."

Qin Heng knelt down on one knee, made court salutes, then got up, turned his face sideways, and glanced at the ministers.

Everyone subconsciously wanted to avoid him because of his eyes. In one word, they suddenly became cowardly.

People who wield military power and the army are naturally imposing, but Qin Heng is different. He belongs to himself and has his own aura. Coupled with his military rank, it is no wonder that they are not afraid.

The two dazzling stars on the collar of the man's military uniform also represent everything.

That is unquestionable majesty and persuasiveness.

And you must know that Qin Heng is only 27 years old now.

Everyone bowed their heads.

Qin Heng raised his feet and walked out of the hall, but when passing by the ministers, he left a word.

"You never know how hard those researchers work."

The people who said it couldn't help but feel more guilty.

At the same time... they also began to reflect.

Indeed, as politicians, they naturally cannot appreciate the hard work of scientific researchers.Unlike them, those who do scientific research almost devote most of their lives to research, doing a research for many years, just like treating their own children.

And the salaries are generally not as high as those of their politicians.

Thinking about it again, did the funds allocated by the empire go into the pockets of Zhuoxi, Professor Vito, and those researchers?Not really... The money was not spent on research.

Just like that, do they still have the face to question?

The ministers blushed: Now, it seems that naturally... there is no such thing.

Huo Xiao laughed softly: "It seems that everyone understands it in their hearts, so I won't explain further. In short, I hope everyone can trust the scientific researchers of our empire, they will not be doing useless work. Because of them, the empire The future is bright, isn't it?"
