Chapter 954: Chasing the Murderer (Part 2)

Two middle-aged Forbidden Palace guards strode in, dressed in purple robes, imposing as a mountain, every step seemed to shake the ground, like two giant elephants walking slowly.

When they came to the hall, they glanced over the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor ordered Xu Huande from the Secret Guard Mansion!"

Xu Huande went down the steps, clasped his fists and saluted: "My minister Xu Huande!"

A middle-aged guard raised his voice: "Let the secret guard house immediately investigate the assassination of Princess Ping, and find out the mastermind behind the scenes within three days!"

"Yes!" Xu Huande clasped his fists and said in a deep voice.

Another middle-aged Forbidden Palace guard said: "During the investigation, no matter who you are, you don't have to be shy, and try to find the mastermind within three days. If there is any delay, ask your Secret Guard Palace!"

"Yes." Xu Huande said in a deep voice.

Only then did the two middle-aged guards of the Forbidden Palace clasped their fists to salute Prince Bao, then turned around and left, ignoring King Jing and King Cheng.

King Cheng curled his lips, dissatisfied with their arrogance, but King Jing was extremely calm, only staring at Xu Huande.

Prince Bao sighed: "Commander Xu, your troubles are coming!"

Xu Huande showed a wry smile: "This is our negligence in duty, we can only try our best to make up for it!...Commander Chu, you have to take charge of this matter yourself!"

Chu Li clasped his fists without hesitation: "It's a duty!"

"Hmph, what a big tone!" Cheng Wang gave him a disdainful sideways glance.

Chu Li looked at Cheng Wang: "Master Cheng thinks I can't find out?"

"Do you really think you have all the cases to investigate?" Cheng Wang curled his lips and said, "The people are gone, where are you going to investigate!"

Chu Li said: "Commander Xu, what did the murderer leave behind?"

"One treasure armor, one knife." Xu Huande said.

He pointed to the corner of the wall.

Chu Li walked over and picked up this unusually flexible golden vest, which seemed to be woven with gold thread, but the gold thread was by no means so tough. He sandwiched the vest between his palms, and clapped his palms together.

"It's indeed a precious armor!" Chu Li said.

It can weaken the palm strength, and it actually reduces sixty-seven out of ten.

For a top expert, this is like facing a master who is two levels behind.

"This thing is not something ordinary people can have." Xu Huande sighed: "And as far as I know, it is made of fairy spider silk. Fairy spiders are unique to Daqiu, and there are no other places."

"Hmph, it really is Daqiu!" Prince Bao sneered.

Xu Huande said: "But such things that are easy to reveal their identity should not be taken out, and this knife is not a mortal knife, it is a precious knife made by Que Dao Palace. It really cuts iron like mud."

Prince Bao frowned, not daring to say that it must be Daqiu, this flaw was too obvious.

Cheng Wang said: "It can't be intentional, but it makes us not doubt Daqiu, and think that someone framed Daqiu?"

"It's also possible." Xu Huande nodded.

Chu Li took a look at the sword, turned his head and said, "Commander Xu, shall we act?"

"I'm with you." Xu Huande said.

Chu Li nodded, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, my lord Jing, my lord Cheng, let's find out the accomplices first."

"I'll go too!" Prince Bao snorted, "I want to see who killed the fourth daughter-in-law."

"...Okay." Chu Li nodded slowly: "But my lord, don't ask too many questions, don't talk."

"No problem." Prince Bao readily agreed.

Cheng Wang also wanted to go together.

Before he could speak, Chu Li said, "Prince Cheng and Prince Jing help with the funeral affairs, we'll be back soon!"

"Go." King Jing said in a deep voice.

Cheng Wang glared at him resentfully.

——

Waving his hands away from the guards, Prince Bao drifted along with Chu Li, leaving the avenue and entering the alleys.

Under the supernatural power, the owner of the treasure armor and sword is like a torch in the night, clearly visible.

The three soon came to a private house, Chu Li jumped over the wall and came to the bedroom, an old man was lying motionless on the couch, he was already dead, a flagon was poured on the ground in front of the couch, obviously he had drunk poisoned wine.

Chu Li took out a Qiyuan Pill from his arms, stuffed it into the old man's mouth, and quickly slapped him a few times.

Prince Bao didn't speak, but guessed that the old man was an accomplice, otherwise he wouldn't commit suicide, he is a decisive man!

Xu Huande picked up the old man's wrist and checked his pulse.

After a cup of tea, Xu Huande nodded: "He's alive!"

Chu Li said: "Leave the rest to the government, they are better at it!"

"Leave it to us!" Xu Huande said coldly: "He wants to die, it's not that easy!"

He sealed the old man's acupuncture points and carried it on his back.

Chu Li said: "Commander Xu, I don't need the rest, so I won't go back home!"

Xu Huande nodded: "Okay, be careful too!"

Chu Li cupped his fists.

Xu Huande clasped his fists at Prince Bao and drifted away.

——

King Cheng looked at Chu Li's disappearing back, and snorted resentfully: "He really thinks he is omnipotent, the number one manager of God's capital!"

King Jing frowned and said, "Don't speak ill of people behind their backs!"

"Sixth brother, this kid is too crazy, he has to clean up!" Cheng Wang said: "Let him know that the sky is high and the earth is thick!"

"Isn't it just beating Leng Tao twice?" King Jing said lightly: "You spoiled your son so badly, you should beat him, if he doesn't, I'm going to find a chance to help you teach him, and if you continue to spoil him like this , will definitely cause big trouble!"

"No matter what, Xiaotao is still the son of the prince. Chu is nothing but a guard!" Cheng Wang snorted.

"He's first rank, higher than us!" King Jing said lightly.

King Cheng snorted, but did not refute.

The rank system is the foundation of Daji's country, and it cannot be shaken. Even if you are a prince, you have to respect it. The two are from good backgrounds, but their ranks are not high enough.

The two were talking when Chu Li and Prince Bao came back.

After Prince Bao came in, he said in a deep voice: "Lao Liu Lao Jiu, I will continue to host the hunting ceremony, and I will leave this to you!"

"Uncle Bao Wang, come back so soon, have you found an accomplice?" Cheng Wang asked hurriedly.

"Well," Prince Bao said: "It has been handed over to the Secret Guard Mansion for interrogation. It may not be too long before there is news. Chu Li, let's go!"

Chu Li nodded, clasped fists at King Jing and King Cheng, and followed Prince Bao to leave Prince Ping's mansion.

Cheng Wang stared at them blankly.

King Jing shook his head, greeted the guards and maids, and ordered one thing, orderly, shrewd and capable.

Prince Bao and Chu Li rode side by side at the front, and the eight guards followed closely behind, their heartstrings tensed, their eyes sweeping back and forth, guarding against assassination.

"It's amazing!" Prince Bao sighed.

He saw how easy it was for Chu Li to find an accomplice, and he was filled with emotion.

Chu Li said: "My lord, this is just a little skill, not worth mentioning."

"It's not worth mentioning, it's too modest!" Prince Bao shook his head and said, "It's not a fluke for you to get such a name. I think Xu Huande values ​​you very much."

"The big tree attracts the wind. The two commanders are afraid that I will be too popular and become the enemy of all the secret guards. Let me retreat." Chu Li shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect to encounter this as soon as I left the customs!"

"That's why God won't let you go." Prince Bao said with a smile.

His heavy heart eased a lot. Although the gods are not stable, there are also strange people like Chu Li, so there is no need to worry too much.

They left the east city gate, rode on horseback, and soon caught up with Xiao Shi and his party.

Xiao Shi and the others asked Ma Liu to walk slowly, and were waiting for Chu Li and Prince Bao.
