Chapter 678: Assassination (Third Shift)

Early the next morning.

The air in the small courtyard is exceptionally fresh, and the whole body is light when you take a breath. Chu Li is practicing Fu Niu Shenquan in the courtyard, and Leng Qiu is practicing sword.

There were footsteps outside, and Qin Jin's voice sounded: "Centurion?"

Chu Li said: "What's the matter?"

Qin Jin said in a deep voice, "A major event happened in the city."

Chu Li stopped his boxing, got up and left the small courtyard, and saw Qin and Jin standing outside the courtyard.

"Centurion, the fifth son of Prince Kang was killed." Qin Jin whispered: "The governor is looking for the murderer."

Chu Li frowned: "Fifth son? Prince Kang has six sons, right?"

"Yes." Qin Jin said: "Prince Kang's fifth and sixth sons don't do anything, they only eat, drink and have fun. The other four sons are very capable. This Jiang Shizi was assassinated last night!"

"He doesn't hold any official position?" Chu Li frowned.

Qin Jin nodded: "I don't have an official position, it's purely for eating, drinking and having fun."

"What's the progress?" Chu Li asked.

Qin Jin shook his head: "There is no progress at all, the governor is so worried that he can't sleep, Prince Kang and the emperor are watching, this case will probably fall to our secret guard's residence in the end!"

"Let's go." Chu Li walked out.

When they arrived at Mei Eryuan, Dong Qifei, Yang Zongwen and the others were all on the training ground.

Seeing him coming in, everyone came to salute.

Chu Li waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, Yang Zongwen, come here."

Yang Zongwen responded.

Dong Qifei and Qin Jin returned to the training ground.

Yang Zongwen followed Chu Li to the hall and reported: "Centurion, is it about Prince Kang's fifth son?"

"What's going on?" Chu Li sat in the grand master's chair.

Yang Zongwen shook his head: "The assassination was very precise and neat, and it was fatal with one blow. It used a long and narrow sword, which belongs to a strange weapon and is not in any martial arts sect, so I couldn't find any clues... and the assassination was in the middle of the night. There were no pedestrians, Jiang Shizi and his followers were all killed, even their horses died together, and no one was left alive."

Chu Li said: "Look at this method, who do you think it is?"

Yang Zongwen thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I really can't think of it, the case is still in the hands of the Fu Yin, but according to our calculations, it will be moved to our mansion sooner or later. We have a centurion in the Mei Second Court and three Ning brothers. , I had long hoped to win this case."

Chu Li smiled.

Yang Zongwen said: "The centurion will not come for a while, there are a lot of gossips in the house, if you don't make a contribution to suppress them, everyone's life will be difficult."

"Oh—?" Chu Li frowned.

Yang Zongwen glanced left and right, and said in a low voice: "The deputy chief has already recovered, and he came here yesterday. He was picking noses and eyes at everyone, so I can only invite the centurion to come here."

Chu Li snorted: "What are you listening to him for!"

"After all, he is the deputy chief. If we don't listen, we can be punished." Yang Zongwen said helplessly: "The government is governed by military law."

Chu Li snorted, "Where is he now?"

"Going out for a stroll, he has a lot of contacts." Yang Zongwen said: "I don't want to stay here, everyone doesn't give him good looks."

Chu Li nodded slowly: "Help me check on Miss Yuqing from Qingyun Tower, don't let anyone know, check it secretly."

"Miss Yuqing?" Yang Zongwen nodded hurriedly: "Yes, I will do it right away."

Chu Li said: "By the way, let's not touch this assassination case!"

"Ah—?" Yang Zongwen was puzzled.

Chu Li shook his head: "This case is too deep, it's better not to touch it."

"But Jiang Shizi doesn't seem to be a big shot..." Yang Zongwen said more and more puzzled: "I don't think there will be any powerful enemies. It should be a dispute between emotions, right? Maybe it's a dispute in the royal family. The governor fears it like a tiger. We secretly Weifu is not afraid of this the most."

Chu Li shook his head and said, "Don't touch it, if others want to snatch it, let them snatch it!"

"...Yes." Yang Zongwen nodded helplessly.

As soon as Yang Zongwen retreated, he saw Ma Kun strutting into the Second Mei Courtyard, and raised his voice, "Where are you? Where are you all dead?"

Everyone on the training ground looked at each other helplessly and wanted to come over to see him.

Chu Li usually doesn't pay attention to this. Sometimes he asks them to come over to greet him.

But according to the rules, they were going to come to see the ceremony. Although Ma Kun's attitude was bad and arrogant, he also had a reason, so they couldn't help but not obey.

Chu Li's voice suddenly came from the room, and he said coldly: "Vice Chief Ma is so majestic!"

When Ma Kun heard the voice, his face changed slightly.

Chu Li snorted, "Come in, why are you dawdling!"

Ma Kun gave Qin Jin and the others a hard look, and strode into the living room.

Chu Li sat on the teacher's chair and looked at Ma Kun.

After Ma Kun came in, he cupped his fists and saluted: "I've seen the centurion!"

Chu Li looked at him lightly: "Is the injury healed?"

Ma Kun's face was gloomy, but he nodded slowly: "Thank you for your concern, Centurion, I have recovered."

Chu Li said: "I think you have healed your scar, so you forgot about the pain, and you want to do it again, don't you?"

Ma Kun remained silent with a cold face.

Chu Li said in a deep voice: "What prestige are you playing in front of them? If you have the ability to show off your prestige with me!"

Ma Kun remained silent with a gloomy face.

He snorted to himself, I want to be a higher official than you, and I will cure you to the point of dying every day.

Chu Li said: "Let's do this, I see you are having a hard time, so you can check something for me!"

"Please order the centurion!" Ma Kun clasped his fists helplessly.

Chu Li snorted and said: "The last time the Jueyun Baoji caused the destruction of several second-rate sects. I suspect that there are black hands behind the scenes. It might not be the government of Jiguo, you should check this out!"

"Yes." Ma Kun nodded happily.

He knew that once he hesitated, he would definitely be beaten again, and the wisest thing to do was to agree honestly and heartily.

Chu Li said: "There is no one to help you in the courtyard, you can find a way by yourself!"

"I'm afraid I can't do it alone." Ma Kun said hastily.

Chu Li looked at him indifferently: "You have a lot of connections, what's wrong with such a trivial matter? It's settled like this, and you have to check it out within a month!"

"...Yes." Ma Kun said in a deep voice.

He was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do.

Chu Li is still soft-handed, he just sent himself out, he didn’t want to see him, if he changed to a more difficult task, then he really couldn’t stand it, if he didn’t know how to do it, it would be another more tiring and harder task !

Chu Li nodded in satisfaction: "Very well, let's go today!"

"...Yes!" Ma Kun cupped his fists, turned and left the hall.

Dong Qifei and the others saw that Ma Kun came out with a cold face, and left straight away. They breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the centurion cured him again, and they will have a good life again.

Chu Li also left the Miwei Mansion, returned to the palace, and concentrated on cultivating Vientiane to return to the sect.

The more he practiced, the clearer his mind became, the faster his reaction became, the more agile his thinking became, and he was somewhat stronger than before.

Knowing ten things by smelling one, knowing the wind by seeing the leaves moving, this strange feeling makes him feel comfortable and unspeakable, everything is under his control, and he is in the hands of the real wisdom beads.

Ten days passed without knowing it.

The Vientiane Guizong entered the territory very quickly, and had already crossed the first floor. When he reached the second floor, he could see more clearly and the scope increased.

Yang Zongwen would come here every day to report the progress of the assassination of Prince Kang's fifth son.
