Chapter 511 He was very nervous
In the middle of the courtyard, there was a Luohan bed, and on the bed was a corpse covered with silk. It was obvious that it must be the dead Brahma.

Behind the daybed stood a man who appeared to be around thirty years old, wearing a plain white robe with wide sleeves. He was dark-skinned, thin, and not very tall.

Judging from his attire, it was as if he had long anticipated that there would be a funeral to be held at the Brahma Palace today.

His face was pale, the muscles in his cheeks seemed to be frozen, but his eyes were fixed on the group of people who came in from outside, and he even swallowed several times.

This person is very nervous.

Zhu Yu silently observed everything before him and came to a conclusion.

This is interesting.

Seeing how nervous the other person was, Zhu Yu gradually relaxed.

It seems that everything is as Lu Qing predicted. They are still in the midst of a carefully planned drama, and they are indeed safe until the drama ends.

She glanced again at the person standing behind the daybed, trying to guess their identity.

That must be the nephew from the same family who was previously not allowed to come to the palace by Brahma because of some taboo.

Look at this guy standing there, so nervous he's practically trembling. He really looks like a puppet.

However, looking back now, I realize I was wrong before.

Zhu Yu originally thought that Brahma was a puppet of the High Priest, and that the so-called nephew of the clan was just a decoy. In reality, the High Priest was after Brahma's throne.

If Brahma were to die one day, the high priest could then rightfully claim the throne on the grounds that Brahma's nephews and nieces had neither merit nor talent.

If that were the case, then naturally that so-called nephew or niece wouldn't actually show up.

It seems that the person who orchestrated all of this wanted far more than just the Vatican.

Thinking of this, the question that had been swirling in her mind resurfaced—the deceased in the room where Brahma was in seclusion could be confirmed by Brahma's trusted guards to be the high priest who had been by Brahma's side every day.

Logically speaking, the high priest should be the one who started everything, and there were no signs of disguise or forgery on the corpse.

If the dead person was indeed the high priest who seemed to be in control of everything, then it is clear that there were other, more deeply hidden people behind the high priest directing and arranging all of this.

This echoes her and Lu Qing's earlier banter—in this grand scheme, everyone thinks they are the oriole, but in reality, they may all be nothing more than the mantis.

All five people were led to the Luohan bed. The white-robed man standing behind nodded to the head guard, who then stepped forward and ripped off the white cloth covering the Luohan bed.

The body lying on the Arhat's bed was indeed the corpse of Brahma.

His two bulging eyes were wide open, staring blankly at the sky above. There were still traces of black blood left on his nostrils and at the corners of his mouth. Brahma's corpse was thus suddenly exposed to the scorching sun, and no one around seemed to find anything wrong with it, showing not a shred of respect for the dead Brahma.

"You quack! My uncle was originally strong and healthy, but I never expected that he would be deceived by your wicked words and let you into the mansion to treat his body."

When I heard about it, I intended to come and dissuade him in person, but I was too late. He was killed by you!
Today I will execute you five quacks on the spot and seek justice for my uncle!
"Guards! Bring the executioners here! Today I will have them all beheaded before my uncle, to appease his spirit in heaven!"

Upon hearing this, the person standing nearby lazily responded and dragged their feet out.

Seeing that the two people were almost gone, Lu Qing remained calm, standing there with his hands behind his back, without saying a word.

The Brahma nephew seemed a little anxious, but given his current role, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to speak up at this moment. His initial tension was almost replaced by complete disorientation.

Immediately, he saw a boy who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old standing with Lu Qing and Yan Daoxin, looking hesitant to speak. He immediately pointed in that direction as if he had seen a lifeline: "Hey, do you have something to say?!"

Zhu Yu, whose head he pointed at, sighed. Both her hands were tied, so she couldn't point. She could only raise her chin and point at the corpse of Brahma on the Luohan bed: "The sun is so scorching right now. If you let your uncle's corpse be exposed to the sun like this, it will probably decompose soon."

Then, if you want to hand over the corpse to someone to examine it and determine our guilt, you won't be able to do it!
At that point, words won't be enough. You can say we killed him, or we can say you killed him.

To avoid things escalating to this point, it's best to quickly wrap the body up and store it in a cool, dry place.

"It would be even better if we could get some ice."

Brahma's nephew was stunned. He hadn't expected that what the other party said was completely different from what he had hoped for.

However, after being reminded by Zhu Yu, he suddenly realized that his uncle's remains would still be useful. He hurriedly called over a few people to carry away the Brahma King's body along with the Arhat bed and send it to the ice cellar.

"Anything else? Don't you have anything else to say?" After the Luohan bed was moved away by several people, Brahma's nephew asked again, his tone tinged with anxiety, "The executioners will be here soon."

Zhu Yu could hardly help but sigh.

The man before me is not even fit to be the king of a vassal state; he's not even qualified to commit crimes.

Both their courage and their intelligence are a headache.

Lu Qing nodded to him helplessly. If he didn't want the other party to know that they had seen through everything, he would have been happy to continue to remain silent, watching the clown in front of him anxiously saying, "Do you know who I am? With your abilities, let alone taking my life, even touching a hair on my head would be an overstepping of your bounds."

Upon hearing Lu Qing speak, and with such an arrogant tone, the Brahma King's nephew not only wasn't annoyed, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Without hesitation, he immediately asked, "Such arrogance! Tell me, who are you to dare to speak so presumptuously?!"

The speed of his response was as if he had practiced those words in his mind countless times.

“Jin Kingdom, Lu Clan, Prince Lu Qing of the Carefree Kingdom.” Lu Qing raised his head slightly and said in a calm tone, “The waist token is in my arms. Tell your people to come and get it.”
