"What an admirable performance. I have to admit that you are one of the most shameless guys I know!"
Lai Cang jumped up as if he was electrocuted: "Who is it!"
"Your mourner!"
Two figures appeared at the door of the inn. They were covered in mud and looked very tired, but their faces had a strange look, like hunters who had caught up with the prey they were looking for, and their faces were full of excitement! "Li Xuan!"
Peng Yue!"
Lai Cang looked at the two of them dumbfounded, "You...how did you know I'm here?"
"You have a disgusting smell that can be clearly smelled hundreds of miles away. Don't you know?"
Li Xuan said with a smile, but there seemed to be a knife hidden in his smile.
Peng Yue clenched his fists with an expressionless face, his joints made a crisp sound, and a huge force was released from his body. His black iron tower-like body seemed to instantly transform into a terrifying man-eating beast.
Beast! "I'm going to dig out your heart and see what color it is!"
Peng Yue opened his fingers angrily, and a terrible suction force was generated from his palm, moving towards Lai Cang! Lai Cang was trembling all over. Of course he knew Peng Yue's strength, and he also knew very well that he had no possibility of escaping from Peng Yue's hands!
So he made a wise choice and broke a tooth in the moment before Peng Yue took action.
The terrible toxin hidden in the teeth spurted out, cutting off Lai Cang's life in a second. His eyes bloomed with a strange look, he laughed and spurted out purple blood, and murmured in his mouth: "Mr. Bishop
You sinners will definitely be punished!"
"Plop..." The corpse fell down like a piece of rotten wood, splashing countless dust.
Li Xuan and Peng Yue looked at Lai Cang, who was bleeding from all his orifices and glowing with a terrifying purple color, and looked at each other: "Bishop?"
Maplewood City.
Xia Ruixue, dressed in military uniform, stood in front of the three corpses, her expression as cold as an iceberg. People who were not familiar with her might be frightened by her cold look. Only those close to her knew that what was hidden under this iceberg face was actually a person.
She has a delicate heart no different from other girls.
"...That's what happened. These people killed each other, which saved us a lot of effort. It's a pity that everyone died, leaving no clues."
Peng Yue reported the previous situation to Xia Ruixue.
Xia Ruixue said in surprise: "Killing each other?
Are they really all crazy?"
Li Xuan said: "I'm afraid it's not madness, but Lai Cang had a premeditated plan.
Your Royal Highness, from the information we have received, this organization called the Seven Evils Sect is very well-organized and conspires to subvert the empire's regime. I hope Your Highness can make an early decision and list the Seven Evils Sect as a key investigation target and investigate their crimes as soon as possible.
Catch the rest of the party."
Xia Ruixue nodded and said: "You are right. I will contact the Imperial Capital immediately and ask the regent to order the Seven Evils Sect as the most wanted criminal! No one involved in this matter can be spared!"
The three of them discussed how to investigate the Qisha Cult next, and the prefect An Rulong walked in.
An Rulong was originally close to Salang, but after this incident, he was in panic all day long.
Although after the matter was investigated, it was found that he had nothing to do with it and his position as prefect was retained, but he became more cautious.
Xia Ruixue asked: "What's the matter?"
An Rulong bowed and said: "Your Royal Highness, let me ask for instructions on how to deal with the properties of Salang and Laicang. Should they be confiscated directly into the national treasury?"
Xia Ruixue glanced at Li Xuan, smiled slightly and said: "The property is confiscated, but the mansion in Salang... just give it to Li Xuan as a reward for this meritorious service!"
Li Xuan was thinking about how to buy the Salang family's mansion. When he suddenly heard these words, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Peng Yue coughed dryly and said: "Li Xuan, why don't you thank Her Royal Highness Princess!"
Li Xuan hurriedly bowed and said: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward!"
Xia Ruixue said with a straight face: "You deserve this.
The empire will not be stingy with anyone who has made meritorious service, and on the contrary, it will not let go of anyone who endangers the security of the empire! Li Xuan, I hope you can continue to serve the country in the future, and I will not treat you badly!"
Li Xuan thought to himself, princess, do you want me to serve the country or you?
This country is not so much your nephew's as it is your sister's, and it doesn't matter who you serve.
At this time, Xia Ruixue said again: "As for the inventory of property, Li Xuan, you and An Rulong should go together."
An Rulong glanced at Li Xuan meaningfully, knowing that Li Xuan had completely become the princess's confidant. He thought to himself: Searching the house is a bad job. Her Highness asked Li Xuan to show that she doesn't trust me.
, this is okay, why not take this opportunity to build a good relationship with Li Xuan and let him say a few nice words in front of the princess, otherwise, my position as the prefect will not be guaranteed! When the two of them are alone, An Rulong will accompany him.
He smiled and said: "Your Majesty, thanks to your efforts to turn the tide this time, Maplewood City was saved from disaster.
I really don’t know how to express my gratitude to you!”
Seeing his disgusting look, Li Xuan laughed secretly, but said lightly: "It's all what I should do."
Seeing that Li Xuan's attitude was not enthusiastic, An Rulong felt even more anxious, and said hurriedly: "I have been restless these days. Please ask the imperial envoy to take more responsibility for the investigation later. I will just accompany you."
Li Xuan glanced at An Rulong, and then a bright smile broke out on his face. He patted his shoulder gently and said, "Don't worry, Lord Prefect, I will take care of everything."
The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
He led a team of people all the way to Salang's house. The once glorious and luxurious mansion was now deserted and deserted.
After the incident, Salang ran away in a hurry without taking away any belongings. The place was closely guarded and the interior remained as it was.
When the two walked into the hall, Li Xuan saw a mess and couldn't help but laugh: "If I had known that Her Highness the Princess would reward me with this house, I would have asked Her Highness to take care of it that day. Look at these smashed places. Repair them."
It costs a lot of money to get up!”
An Rulong heard the news and said with a smile: "Since Her Royal Highness the Princess has given you the house, of course it must be renovated.
Let's do this. From the belongings that will be checked out later, the repair costs will be retained first."
Li Xuan had this intention, but he pretended to be coy and said: "Isn't this not good?"
"This kind of thing is reasonable and reasonable. What's wrong with it?"
An Rulong patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of whatever you need!"
"Then I'm sorry."
Li Xuan was too lazy to be hypocritical and raised his hand and pointed, "I think these furniture and furnishings are very good, so just keep them all, otherwise it won't look good if they are empty."
In fact, Li Xuan has always felt that the decorations in Salang's house are too nouveau riche, and he doesn't like them at all.
But who said that these things are valuable things, don't take them for free! An Rulong shuddered in his heart, thinking that you are really rude.
Anyway, it's not his own stuff, so he happily said: "Of course these things should be kept by the imperial envoy. I'll let someone record them. If you have anything else in mind, keep them all!"
There was a secretary who followed Li Xuan specifically. All the items that Li Xuan pointed out were marked on the list. Others began to move the things that Li Xuan didn't want. It took a full morning of work before they moved Qiqi.
Eighty-eight.
Just when Li Xuan was about to take a rest, a soldier hurried over and reported in a low voice: "Two adults, we found a secret room!"
