Chapter 139 Left Chief Minister in Power

The Regent decided to take further action to unravel the mystery. He slowly approached the guards and said in a deep, authoritative voice, "Raise your heads and look me in the eyes! I want to know the truth!"

He roared in a deep and authoritative voice, “Raise your heads and look me in the eye! I must know the truth!” His words exploded in the air like thunder, carrying unparalleled pressure and inspiring awe in everyone.

Wei hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised his head. But when his eyes met the Regent's, a fleeting, almost imperceptible look of panic flashed across his face. This detail did not escape the Regent's keen observation, which only strengthened his belief that the guard was suspicious. So the Regent pressed on, his tone growing increasingly stern: "Tell me, what do you know? Every little detail could be crucial to solving our problem. If you confess now, you might receive leniency; but if you continue to resist, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

The Regent's eyes were as sharp as an eagle hunting its prey, his piercing gaze seemingly able to penetrate the guard's body and reach the deepest secrets of his heart. The Regent stared intently at the guard before him, trying to catch the slightest flaw in his every subtle expression and movement. However, the guard stood there motionless like a statue, his head bowed, his lips tightly pressed together, uttering not a sound.

Faced with such a silent guard, the regent's suspicions deepened. He couldn't help but wonder, who exactly was this guard? Why was he behaving so strangely? Did he harbor some unspeakable secret? The more the regent thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, so he decided to take further action to test this mysterious guard.

The Regent narrowed his eyes slightly and asked calmly, "What is your name?" The guard hesitated for a moment, but quickly replied, "My name is Zhang San." The Regent nodded and then asked, "How long have you been serving in my household?" This time the guard answered even more quickly, "Reporting to Your Excellency, more than three years." The Regent pressed on, "Then, during this time, have you noticed anything unusual? Or have you heard anything you shouldn't have?"

Faced with this series of questions, the guard's forehead gradually broke out in fine beads of sweat, but he still managed to remain calm and replied, "I have been diligently performing my duties and have not found anything unusual."

The Regent was clearly not satisfied with this answer. He sneered and said, "Really? I have a feeling you're hiding something from me. If you confess now, perhaps I can be lenient with you; but if I find out, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

He stared wide-eyed at what he saw in disbelief. His heart was filled with shock and confusion. Everyone in the manor was handpicked by him; how could there be a traitor? This made him fall into deep thought, wondering when exactly the enemy's spies had infiltrated the manor.

He never imagined that a traitor had infiltrated this seemingly impregnable mansion without his knowledge! When exactly did these people sneak into the mansion? And how did they manage to evade layers of security? A series of questions flooded his mind, sending a chill down his spine.
