Hearing these two names, Lu Li thought about it seriously, then shook his head lightly: "No."
Hearing this, Li Xiao rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Take someone back, you can't move Fengyulou for now."
"This……"
Lu Li immediately became troubled, hesitantly said: "Your Highness, this subordinate really can't be the master, and this subordinate is also following orders, so how can I report to Sizheng Lord when I go back like this?"
"Tell him, I will personally investigate this case." Li Xiao said expressionlessly.
"Are you also here to investigate the case?"
Lu Li was a little surprised, then he seemed to think of something, and said with wide eyes, "Could it be that His Highness went to Fengyulou to investigate the case?"
"Yes, to tell you the truth, I have secretly controlled the proprietress of Fengfenglou, and she is still in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. If you are interested, you can interrogate her."
Li Xiao looked at Lu Li with thoughtful eyes.
He arrested people and sent them to prison, and blocked the news. Except for the people on Lord Hou's side, even the Criminal Department didn't know much about it.
Therefore, he wanted to see Lu Li's reaction.
"The proprietress was captured by His Highness?"
Lu Li looked surprised, and then said: "I'm still wondering why the proprietress disappeared suddenly. It turned out that she was sent to a prison by His Highness."
After a pause, Lu Li continued with a serious face, "Your Majesty will immediately apply for a joint interrogation by the three divisions. I will definitely ask for some information and give His Highness an explanation."
"Your Highness, let's go back. This place is extremely dangerous. If His Highness is hurt, the officials will die!"
Li Xiao frowned slightly, thinking about how to get rid of them.
At this moment, a black shadow flashed outside the window, and then Li Junxian landed lightly, as if he had something to say, but after seeing Lu Li and the others, he fell silent.
Seeing this, Li Xiao said impatiently: "You people from Dali Temple disappear quickly, don't hinder the king's work!"
Lu Li smiled helplessly, clasped his fists together and said, "I will take my leave."
Afterwards, he left in a hurry with a few people.
"Uncle Li, is there any movement?" After the people from Dali Temple left, Li Xiao hurriedly asked.
"Your Highness." Li Junxian shook his head lightly, "This subordinate sent someone to pretend to be a servant to take the opportunity to go in. That person was extremely vigilant and did not move at all."
"Since you can't fish, then catch it!" Li Xiao said in a deep voice, frowning.
……
In an unknown alley.
Li Xiao didn't wait long, Li Junxian led his men and tied up a middle-aged man and walked over.
The man looked terrified and struggled fiercely, but with something stuffed in his mouth, he could only roar silently.
Li Junxian threw the person on the ground, stepped on it, and said to Li Xiao: "Your Highness, this is the person."
Seeing this, there was a trace of doubt in Li Xiao's eyes.
He originally thought that the person who came would be one of the Seven Kills or the Pojun, and there might be a big battle if they were to be arrested.
Unexpectedly, he was such a weak person.
Afterwards, the debris from the middle-aged man's mouth was taken out.
He looked terrified, as if he realized that Li Xiao was the master, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "My lord, is there some misunderstanding, the villain has never met you before, if there is something that offends you, the villain is willing to pay compensation!"
"Ha ha."
The corners of Li Xiao's lips turned up, and he said with a light smile, "Are you here to find Sister Hua?"
"Is the person who sent you here the Seven Kills or the Pojun?"
"Or... Lord Hou?"
Chapter 41: A Real Man Never Looks Back
Hearing this, the man's pupils narrowed slightly, and a look of shock flashed across his face.
Immediately after the man was shocked, his expression returned to calm, his eyes averted a little, and he said sadly: "Young Master, you really misunderstood, the villain really doesn't know the Seventh Army."
"I don't know you? Then why are you so surprised to hear these two names? Your expression has already betrayed you." Li Xiao said playfully.
"Young master, the villain really..."
"Chong!"
Seeing that the man wanted to continue to argue, Li Junxian immediately drew out the long sword at his waist and placed it around his neck, and said in a cold voice: "Don't talk nonsense! Your Highness asks, you answer!"
"Forgive me! My lord, please forgive me!"
The man immediately panicked and begged for mercy.
"Tell me, who is your master? Or who do you work for? If you don't tell me, you will die!" Li Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a cold voice.
"My lord, spare me! The villain said! The villain said!"
The man was scared to death, and said quickly: "Master Qisha sent the villain here."
"What are you sent here for?" Li Xiao continued to ask.
"Master Hua, Miss Hua is missing. There has been no news for two days. Lord Seven Kills sent a villain to investigate."
"As expected..." Li Xiao understood in his heart, and continued to ask, "Who is Lord Hou?"
"The villain has never heard of the name Hou Ye."
"Ok?"
The long sword in Li Junxian's hand approached, cutting through the man's skin.
"I've never heard of it! Everything the villain said is true! There is absolutely no deceit, my lord, spare your life, spare your life!"
The man was scared out of his wits and shouted in horror.
Li Xiao had no expression on his face: "Where is the seven kills? How do you return to him?"
"In Wubenfang!" The man said quickly, "Master Qisha is in a small courtyard north of South Street in the workshop."
Hearing this, Li Xiao's expression was shocked, he exchanged a glance with Li Junxian, and nodded slightly.
"Your Highness, don't look back."
Li Junxian said lightly, then raised the man on the ground, and wiped his throat with a sword.
Immediately, blood spattered five steps, the man's eyes widened, and he fell down slowly while clutching his throat.
However, Li Xiao looked at this scene indifferently.
Seeing this, Li Junxian turned around and asked worriedly: "Your Highness, are you alright?"
"Well, it's just killing someone!" Li Xiao said lightly.
But in fact, his stomach acid was churning, and he almost didn't spit it out.
Although he was a human being in two lifetimes, it was the first time he had seen a murder in person, so he was unavoidably uncomfortable.
"Your Highness is truly a god!" Li Junxian couldn't help exclaiming.
He knew that from birth to now, Li Xiao hadn't even gone out of the gate a few times, not to mention seeing dead people, even snakes, insects, rats and ants.
Back then, when he went to the battlefield for the first time, he saw the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, but he vomited for three whole days.
But Li Xiao was like a normal person, his calmness made him admire.
"Your Highness, do you want to notify the various ministries to arrest people?" Li Junxian continued.
"Ministries? When they come, the day lily will be cold, let's go by ourselves." Li Xiao said without thinking.
Whether it is the Ministry of Punishment, the Procuratorate, the City Guards Department, the Government Office or the Yushitai, if they want to send people from these departments, they need to go through cumbersome procedures, and he doesn't have the time.
Seven Kills is his only clue so far, and he must not let it go!
"Let's go?" Li Junxian frowned slightly, thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, I will send you back home first."
"Go back to what house? Go to Wubenfang to arrest people!"
Li Xiao took the lead to leave after speaking.
"This..." Li Junxian looked embarrassed, and then chased after him, persuading him earnestly, "Your Highness, I remember that you said that the seven kills are very powerful, and you will be in danger if you go there."
"Stop talking nonsense, the seven kills can't do anything to me."
Although Li Xiao had never fought against a master, he reckoned that his physical fitness might be stronger than that of Li Junxian.
Facing the Seven Kills, he felt that self-protection was more than enough.
However, Li Junxian ignored Li Xiao's words, and continued to beg: "If your Highness makes a mistake, and your subordinates will die, you should go home!"
"I've made up my mind, there's no need to say more!" Li Xiao said impatiently.
He didn't know how to explain his own strength, probably even Li Junxian wouldn't believe it.
"Ugh……"
Seeing this, Li Junxian sighed deeply, and said helplessly: "When the action takes place, the subordinates will send a few people to protect His Highness, hide in a distance, and don't expose yourself."
"Okay, let's go!" Li Xiao nodded.
Li Junxian had no choice but to keep up.
Li Xiao just walked to the entrance of the alley when suddenly someone from his subordinates came to report.
"Your Highness, we found several people acting suspiciously nearby."
"Where is it?" Li Xiao frowned slightly.
"On the roof 800 meters behind this subordinate, the brothers have already ambushed and can be arrested at any time." The guard said in a low voice.
Li Xiao looked over subconsciously, but happened to see one person's head retracted.
Although they were far away, Li Xiao clearly recognized that this person was actually Lu Li!
Li Xiao said thoughtfully: "Don't do anything yet, go and have a look."
Afterwards, Li Xiao brought Li Junxian to the place where Lu Li was hiding, and said calmly, "Come out!"
As soon as the voice fell, several figures jumped down immediately.
Lu Li smiled wryly, "Your Highness has good eyesight!"
"It's best to give me a reasonable explanation." Li Xiao said coldly.
Hearing this, Lu Li said seriously, "Your Highness, the person you arrested just now was also the target of your subordinates, but did you get the information?"
"It has nothing to do with you." Li Xiao said lightly.
"Your Highness, this case is your Majesty's account, and Dali Temple is fully responsible. You have made it very difficult for your subordinates to handle this case."
Lu Li clasped his fists with a troubled expression on his face.
"Just go back and tell your lord the truth. It's not your turn to dictate what this king does!" Li Xiao said impatiently.
"Your Highness's redemption!" Lu Li hurriedly lowered his head, "I'm not obstructing His Highness's work, but I want to ask His Highness to inform you."
"No information!"
"If there is no information, how could His Highness kill someone?"
Lu Li smiled wryly, and continued, "Your Highness is in a hurry, are you going to arrest someone?"
Hearing this, Li Xiao moved, thought for a while and said, "That's right, how many people can you mobilize in a short time?"
"It's actually true!" Lu Li's expression was startled, and he said quickly, "The only people who can use his powers are the few subordinates around him. Could His Highness tell you the details, so I can go back to Dali Temple to apply for horses."
"Just how many people?"
Li Xiao glanced at the eight subordinates behind Lu Li and frowned slightly.
"Forget it, let's have nine people, it's better than nothing."
After a pause, Li Xiao continued: "It's fine to take you there. You must follow my orders on this trip. If you disobey the orders, do you know the consequences?"
"The next official should be the leader of the horse and look forward to it, and only after death!"
Lu Li immediately got excited and knelt down on one knee.
Can you not be excited, His Royal Highness Yue Wang is willing to use him.
