Chapter 217 Li Kuo’s righteousness and silent Hua Rong
"Of course, His Majesty's guess is also feasible. I will investigate further."
After hearing what the man in black said, Li Kuo was silent for a moment and shook his head slightly.
"Forget it, there is no need to waste time on this matter. Since the consort has no objection, just relax the surveillance."
"How's it going with the prince?"
The man in black heard the words and continued: "The Queen monitors the prince's etiquette every day. Although the subordinates see the prince's expression a little depressed, they can't resist and are unwilling to do so."
"It seems that he has recognized the reality and given up the struggle."
This was a good thing in the eyes of the man in black, but Li Kuo frowned upon hearing this.
"Defa, I'll ask the prince to come after the morning court tomorrow."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Li Kuo looked at the man in black and continued to ask: "Is there anything else? If not, please step back."
The man in black was silent for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, Princess Wenhua brought a maid into the palace, who seems to be the Queen's descendant."
"This incident just happened yesterday afternoon, and my subordinates are preparing to send people to the Queen's hometown to verify it."
After hearing this, Li Kuo was silent for a moment and then asked: "How old are you, but you are here for the prince?"
"Your Majesty, at the age of thirteen or fourteen, he looks ordinary."
"The informant reported that he was from a separate family, and he attracted bandits on the way to Beijing. Originally, my father wanted to seek a minor official position, but now he has nowhere to go and has no choice but to go to the palace to seek refuge with the empress."
Li Kuo frowned slightly when he heard this.
"Since Liuli brought her, why didn't she go to the Prince Consort's house on some errand instead of coming to the palace?"
Hearing this, the man in black explained and said: "It is said that all the people in the Prince Consort's house are good-looking, and the Prince Consort has nothing to pursue. If you can't cling to me, you might as well come to the palace."
"I would rather be the tail of a phoenix than the head of a chicken."
"He is a child after all. He can just say whatever he wants."
Li Kuo then relaxed his brows and asked: "Since there is no special feature, there is no need to make a trip. Please finish the things I have assigned you as soon as possible."
He doesn't have much time, and it's not easy to spread his men's strength around. Some trivial matters that are not particularly important can be avoided if possible.
The man in black responded immediately after hearing the words.
"No, my subordinate will do it right away."
"My subordinates resign."
The task Li Kuo gave him was not simple either: to inspect all civil and military officials to see who was dissatisfied with the prince.
This is paving the way for the prince and removing obstacles for the prince.
The next day was also the day when the three thieves in Luliang Mountain were executed.
People who are beheaded often appear in the capital, so there are not many people except those who like to watch the fun.
Is he just a thief? If the minister still has someone to look at him.
Li Xiuzhu arrived at the teahouse on the second floor opposite Caishikou early in the morning. While drinking tea, he casually looked out the window, seeming to clear his mind.
Although the thief might have gotten into it now, Li Xiuzhu didn't think he could find out the real owner since he didn't show up.
Suddenly there was a loud noise, and Li Xiuzhu looked downstairs not far away. A group of officers and soldiers escorting three prison cars appeared there.
The noise just now came from the people of Chaoyang. The favorite thing of these idle people is to throw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves at people.
Many people even store a bunch of rotten eggs at home, just waiting for this day.
Li Xiuzhu looked distracted, observing the three people's reactions while looking at the crowd of onlookers.
Suddenly, the black-faced man in front of the carriage who was cursing at the people suddenly paused. Although he continued to curse, his eyes were wandering around, as if he was looking for something.
Li Xiuzhu suddenly smiled when he saw this. He recalled the direction of the other person's eyes just now, and took another look at the only man there who was not emotional and didn't throw anything. He immediately had the answer in his heart.
After taking a look at the other party, Li Xiuzhu was not in a hurry to take action.
The mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole follows behind. It is not too late to wait until the other party has a fight with the sword guards of the sword gate first.
No matter whether the other party can escape or not, it is in his favor.
It wasn't that Li Xiuzhu was afraid of the other party's strength, but that it was easier for him to take action because the other party had disrupted the situation.
Otherwise, it is easy to be targeted.
The three men were escorted to the guillotine, and their expressions showed no change.
All three people saw their third boss and knew that someone was coming to save them.
But as time passed by, the three of them realized that something was wrong. Why didn't they see anyone except the third brother?
Is it too well hidden?
Although the three of them were confused, they didn't dare to think too much. Anyway, Hua Rong, the third master, was here and would definitely save them.
However, when the executioner raised his knife, Hua Rong did not move.
At this moment, the three of them finally realized something was wrong.
"Third brother, if you don't take action now, why don't you wait...?"
"Third brother, take action!"
"..."
"Pfft~"
"Pfft~"
"Pfft..."
Three spurts of blood sounded almost at the same time, and there was still half a sentence left unfinished.
At this moment, both the guards at the execution ground and the sword guards at the sword gate looked tense.
The sound of swords being unsheathed was endless.
But after a few breaths, everyone was stunned.
So those three guys were scaring them just now?
Good guy, are we scared?
Relaxing their vigilance, everyone sheathed their weapons again.
"Pull their bodies to mass graves."
"promise!"
What Li Xiuzhu didn't expect was that the other party didn't take any action from beginning to end. This... this brotherly loyalty seemed to be just that.
Li Xiuzhu put down the tea cup and left two taels of silver before leaving the teahouse.
His steps were very fast, as fast as slow but fast. One second he was on his seat, the next he was on the stairs, and the next he took a breath, he was out of the teahouse.
However, after leaving the teahouse, his steps slowed down. First, there were so many people and it was easy for someone to see him at the edge of the execution ground. Secondly, he needed to be followed from a distance.
Li Xiuzhu followed Hua Rong all the way outside the city, and did not enter the woods until he was five miles outside the city.
Li Xiuzhu followed without stopping, but as he got closer, the other party suddenly stopped, looked at him and said, "You've been following all this way, are you tired?"
"Are you from the Imperial Sword Sect?"
Li Xiuzhu didn't even use Qing Gong, so he naturally knew that he couldn't hide it from the other party.
Moreover, when a first-rate master has reached a certain level of sight, he has a certain sense of sight within a certain distance. I have been staring at him for such a long time, and it would be strange if I didn't notice him.
"I am the boss of Yunzhu Tower. Since you originally planned to save you as the boss, you should know."
The boss of Yunzhu Building? Hua Rong frowned. Didn't he say that this shop belongs to the Fu family and is run by their second lady?
Is this person from the Fu family? But there are no boys in the Fu family... Wait, is it him?
"Are you Champion Hou Li Xiuzhu?"
Li Xiuzhu nodded when he heard this.
"That's right, but it's just a humble name, and it's all because of His Majesty's love."
"Compared to the champion Hou Huo Qubing, I'm still far behind."
Hua Rong never understood why the brothers didn't come, but looking at Li Xiuzhu in front of him, he seemed to understand.
"We who came from Luliang Mountain were captured by you?"
