    The butler's reaction was a bit excessive. He jumped back and looked at Diok with an almost hostile look. However, he quickly understood that this was just a false alarm and hurriedly bowed to Diok.  He saluted: "Yes, my lord, please forgive my gaffe. I am really not suitable for today's work!" "I understand, I understand!" Diok smiled: "Relax, the biggest spy in the kingdom  The boss is right in front of you, so you don¡¯t need to be so nervous!¡± The butler tried his best to smile, but unfortunately he only twitched his lips twice.  Diok shook his head helplessly and walked into the temple.  Not a single monk was seen along the way. It seemed that Wenche had made a lot of preparations to keep the meeting secret. Finally, at the end of the passage, a fat middle-aged man appeared next to the Bodhisattva statue.  A smile appeared on Diok's face, and he opened his arms, ready to step forward and give the other person a hug.  But soon the smile on his face stiffened.  Another man walked out from behind Wen Che, it was Chen Zaixing.  At this time, heavy footsteps came from behind Diok. He turned his head in fear. It was Oba, the captain of Chen Zaixing's personal guard. Behind him were six or seven Sikh soldiers with live ammunition. The black muzzles of the guns were already there.  Aimed at Diok's two followers.  "What's going on!" Diok shouted to Winche. He now understood why the housekeeper at the entrance of the temple was so nervous.  Wenche shrugged his shoulders awkwardly, wanting to say something but didn't.  Chen Zaixing patted Wen Che on the shoulder, smiled and took two steps forward: "Mr. Diok, on the order of His Majesty the King, I arrest you!" "Your Majesty the King? Arrest?" Diok shouted desperately:  "I am the Privy Councilor of the Kingdom of Myanmar and a nobleman. You are just a Dashun person and do not have any official position in the kingdom. You have no right to do this!" "Really?" Chen Zaixing smiled: "I am indeed just a Dashun person.  , but I have just been appointed by His Majesty the King to become a consultant to the royal family." Having said this, Chen Zaixing took out a ruby-inlaid ring from his arms and showed it around, then carefully put it on the ring finger of his right hand.  "Indeed, with your official position and identity, no one can arrest you, let alone harm you, if you have not done anything inconsistent with your identity!" At this point, Chen Zaixing showed a sarcastic smile, and he  After making a gesture, several Sikh guards rushed up and pushed the two followers to the ground in a few strokes.  Facing the danger, Diok quickly calmed down. He looked at Chen Zaixing with a sneer and asked: "Your distinguished royal advisor, which law of the kingdom have I violated?" "For example, ordering the director of the mint to secretly  Create a murder, secretly kill the nobles of the kingdom and dump the bodies in the backyard of the nobles of another kingdom to frame the other party¡ª¡ª" At this point, Chen Zaixing paused: "Do you want me to continue?" Diok's  His face turned as pale as a death, and he fell to his knees. The card thrown by Chen Zaixing just now hit his vital part.  Diok knew very well that with Chen Zaixing's shrewdness, as long as he found these two clues, it would only be a matter of time before he could follow the clues and find out his previous arrangements.  And now that he has fallen into his hands, he has enough time to dig out these hidden bombs one by one.  "To be honest, I admire you very much, Mr. Diok!" Chen Zaixing said with a smile: "If my wife hadn't died due to dystocia, I would have almost thought that her sudden death was your arrangement!" said  At the end, Chen Zaixing's words suddenly revealed a violent tone, which made Diok shudder even while he was kneeling.  "If I tell all the truth, can I still survive?" Diok asked with difficulty.  "No, but I can ensure that your family will not be implicated." Chen Zaixing rejected the other party's request without hesitation: "Because you are too dangerous. I still don't fully understand why you do this. I  The entire kingdom has been handed over to you, but you are still playing dangerous tricks behind the scenes and constantly stirring up trouble among the nobles. Don't you know that this will destroy everything, including yourself?  He must not continue to live in the world!" Diok lowered his head and said in an almost soliloquy tone: "Actually, I also understand that it is dangerous to do this, but I have no choice.  I have the blood of two kings on my hands, and one of them is the biological father of the current king and the eldest princess. This is like a symbol of a sinner. You won't understand. I dream about you almost every night.  Throw me out as a sinner. The more I know and do, the more I am afraid, because I know that as long as I do not hold the highest power, I may become a victim in the political struggle at any time, which only puts me in the wrong position.  at this locationThe giant hand can throw me from the high position at any time and smash me to pieces!  " Chen Zaixing did not interrupt Diok's words. He looked quietly at the man who was writing in front of him. There was even a bit of pity in his eyes. Perhaps in a sense, he and the man in front of him were different.  They are the same kind, walking alone on the road to the peak of power. The only difference is that they have won and the other party has failed. "Mr. Diok, the time is almost up!"  "Chen Zaixing carefully read the confession sent by Diok: "You can choose the way of death!  " "Can I ask what kind of death you have arranged for me?  " "There are several kinds, such as falling off a horse and falling to death!  " "This is a novel way to die!  Diok laughed, with a bright smile on his pale face: "Just this one!"  " Chen Zaixing didn't speak. He just nodded to Auba behind Diok. Auba stepped forward and stretched out his arms to hug Diok's ribs. With a strong movement of his arms, Chen Zaixing immediately heard a cry.  With a dull sound, several of Diok's ribs were broken, and the sharp broken bones pierced his internal organs. Blood immediately poured out of his mouth. Oba put his body on the ground, and Diok was on the ground in pain.  After struggling for a while, he stopped convulsing. Early the next morning, the palace issued an obituary. The leader of the Kingdom's Privy Council, His Majesty the King's most trusted assistant, and the distinguished Privy Councilor Lord Diok accidentally fell off his horse while riding out yesterday.  He fell and was trampled by a frightened horse. After resuscitation efforts failed, His Majesty the King felt extremely sad and ordered Lord Theok to be buried next to the royal cemetery and gave his widow an annuity in recognition of Lord Theok.  After years of loyal service to His Majesty and the Royal Government, the King also appointed the leader of the moderate aristocracy, Maung Kee, as the new Privy Council Counselor, and appointed Chen Zaixing, the chairman of Shunhua Company, as the King's Special Advisor.  Chen Zaixing was not as leisurely as he seemed. He was like a duck lying on the water. Although he was motionless on the water, his feet were paddling under the water. During the days when Diok died, he followed his own routine.  Using the clues and the list that Diok handed over, he directed his men to arrest and interrogate day and night to either dig out the spy network and "bombs" left by Diok during his lifetime, or use them for his own purposes. Chen Zaixing had made up his mind.  Today, when his wife has passed away, the next Diok must not be allowed to appear in the Privy Council of the Kingdom of Myanmar. This is the first day that the new Privy Council Counselor Maung Kyi takes office. According to tradition, the de facto Prime Minister of the Kingdom will give a speech.  , first express loyalty to His Majesty the King, briefly explain his main political views in the future, and finally pray for the blessings of gods and Buddhas on the kingdom. After hundreds of years of operation, all this has already formed a fixed pattern.  When they walked onto the podium at the feet of the king wearing the unique majestic attire of a Privy Councilor, most of the nobles were in a relaxed mood waiting for a gorgeous speech. "Distinguished colleagues!  I am not here today as you expected, to reveal my sincere heart to Your Majesty, nor to pray to the gods and Buddhas, but to find out among us the worms in the kingdom and the traitors who have betrayed Your Majesty's trust!  "When Maung Ji said this, he paused for a moment, and the nobles under the podium buzzed in surprise, like a hornet's nest being poked. "Silence, silence!  "The Speaker of the Privy Council who was on duty to preside over the day tapped the ground with his cane, making a dull sound. Soon the crowd fell silent again. The Speaker turned to Maung Kee and nodded, indicating that the other party could continue his speech. "Maybe colleagues will  Surprised, why should I raise this matter in the Privy Council on such a sacred and solemn moment today, instead of choosing a private and more suitable place to raise this accusation?  That's because this traitor has destroyed the foundation of the kingdom, is sucking the essence of the kingdom, and is committing extremely serious crimes.  Therefore, I have to raise it here and beg for the help of your colleagues' strength and wisdom. Without your help, I will accomplish nothing, because the power of that traitor is too powerful!  " "Master Counselor, don't beat around the bush, please just tell me the name of the person you want to accuse. Or is he here too, making it difficult for you to tell him?"  "A noble shouted loudly, causing a group of people around him to laugh. "Silence, silence!  "The Speaker had to continue tapping the ground with the end of his cane. "Yes, the person I want to accuse is here today!  "Maung Ji's eyes swept to his right. As the king's special adviser, Chen Zaixing was sitting there, looking at him with a smile. "This person is him!  "Maung Ji suddenly turned around and pointed his right hand at Chen Zaixing. He was very pleased to see that the man who had always seemed to control everything had a look on his face at this time.? showed a look of surprise and anger.
