Early the next morning.
The air in the small courtyard is particularly fresh, and the whole body feels light after taking a breath. Chu Li is practicing Funiu Shenquan in the courtyard, and Leng Qiu is practicing swordsmanship.
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 big event happened in the city."
Chu Li stopped his boxing, stood up and walked out of the small courtyard, and saw Qin and Jin standing outside the courtyard.
"Centurion, the fifth son of Prince Kang has been killed." Qin Jin whispered: "The governor is looking for the murderer."
Chu Li frowned: "The fifth prince? Prince Kang has six princes in total, right?"
"Yes." Qin Jin said: "Prince Kang's fifth and sixth princes don't do anything, they only eat, drink and have fun. The other four princes are very capable. This prince Jiang was assassinated last night!"
"He doesn't hold any official position, does he?" Chu Li frowned.
Qin Jin nodded: "I don't have any official position, I just eat, drink and have fun."
"What progress has been made?" Chu Li said.
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 is expected to eventually fall on our secret guard!"
"Let's go." Chu Li walked out.
When they arrived at Mei Eryuan, Dong Qifei, Yang Zongwen and the others were all at the martial arts training ground.
Seeing him coming in, everyone came over to salute.
Chu Li waved his hand and said, "Go and do your business, Yang Zongwen, come here."
Yang Zongwen responded.
Dong Qifei and Qin Jin returned to the martial arts training ground.
Yang Zongwen followed Chu Li to the hall and reported: "Centurion, is this about the fifth son of Prince Kang?"
"What's going on?" Chu Li sat down in the Grand Master's chair.
Yang Zongwen shook his head: "A very precise and neat assassination, a fatal blow. The sword was used. It is a Qimen weapon. It is not among the martial arts sects, so there are no clues... and the assassination happened late at night, and there was no one on the street. The pedestrians, Prince Jiang and his entourage were all killed, and even their horses died together, leaving no one alive."
Chu Li said: "Looking at this technique, who do you have to be?"
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 Fu Yin, but according to our calculations, it will be moved to our house sooner or later. We have a centurion in Mei Eryuan and three Ning brothers. , I have long hoped to snatch this case."
Chu Li smiled.
Yang Zongwen said: "Since the centurion is not here for a while, there is a lot of gossip in the house. If we don't make a contribution to calm them down, life will be difficult for everyone."
"Oh—?" Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
Yang Zongwen glanced around and whispered: "The deputy chief has recovered. He came here yesterday and looked at everyone, so he had to ask the centurion to come over."
Chu Li snorted: "Why do you listen to him!"
"After all, he is the deputy chief. If we don't listen, he can punish us." Yang Zongwen said helplessly: "The government is governed by military law."
Chu Li hummed: "Where is he now?"
"He's out wandering around. He has a lot of connections." Yang Zongwen said, "I don't want to stay here either. Everyone doesn't give him a good look."
Chu Li nodded slowly: "Help me check on Miss Yuqing from Qingyun Tower. Don't let anyone know about it. Check in secret."
"Miss Yuqing?" Yang Zongwen nodded hurriedly: "Yes, I'll 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, so it's better not to touch it."
"But Prince Jiang doesn't seem to be a big shot..." Yang Zongwen said more puzzledly: "I guess he doesn't have any powerful enemies. It must be a dispute between spirits, right? Maybe it's a dispute within the royal family. The governor is afraid of him like a tiger. We secret guards are afraid of him. The government is least afraid of this."
Chu Li shook his head and said: "Don't touch it. If others want to grab it, let them grab it!"
"...Yes." Yang Zongwen nodded helplessly.
As soon as Yang Zongwen retreated, he saw Ma Kun swaggering into Mei Eryuan and raised his voice: "Where are the people? Where are they all dead!"
Everyone in the training ground looked at each other helplessly and wanted to come over to see him.
Chu Li usually didn't pay attention to this. Sometimes he would ask them to come over to greet him, and most of the time he would wave his hand after coming in, indicating that they should practice his skills.
But according to the rules, they had to come over for a ceremony. Although Ma Kun had a bad and arrogant attitude, he was reasonable and couldn't help but obey.
Chu Li's voice suddenly came from the room, and he said coldly: "Vice Commander Ma is so majestic!"
When Ma Kun heard this voice, his expression changed slightly.
Chu Li snorted: "Come in, why are you dawdling!"
Ma Kun glared at Qin Jin and others, and strode into the living room.
Chu Li sat on the Taishi 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 Centurion for your concern. He has recovered."
Chu Li said: "I see that you have healed your injury and you have forgotten the pain. You want to do it again, right?"
Ma Kun said nothing with a cold face.
Chu Li said in a deep voice: "Why are you showing off your authority in front of them? If you have the ability, show off your authority with me!"
Ma Kun said nothing with a sullen expression.
He hummed to himself, "I am a higher official than you, and I will make you want to die every day."
Chu Li said: "Let's do this. I see that you are uncomfortable with your idle time. Please help me check something out!"
"Please give me your orders, Centurion!" Ma Kun clasped his fists helplessly.
Chu Li hummed: "The last Jueyun Baoji caused the demise of several second-rate sects. I suspect there is a black hand pushing it secretly. It may be the Duke of Ji's Palace, or it may be the Duke of Ji's Palace joining forces with others, or even It’s possible that it’s not Ji Guo Gongfu, you should check this out!”
"Yes." Ma Kun nodded happily.
He knew that if he hesitated, he would definitely be beaten again. The wisest thing would be to agree honestly and happily.
Chu Li said: "No one in the courtyard will help you, you have to find a way on your own!"
"I'm afraid I can't do it alone." Ma Kun said hurriedly.
Chu Li looked at him indifferently: "You have a lot of connections, what's wrong with this little thing? That's it, you have to find out within a month!"
"...Yes." Ma Kun said solemnly.
He was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do.
Chu Li was being soft-hearted. He just pushed himself out. He didn't want to see himself. If he changed to a more difficult task, he would really be unable to bear it. If he didn't know what he was doing, he would soon be facing another more tiring and harder task. !
Chu Li nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, let's leave today!"
"...Yes!" Ma Kun clasped his fists, turned and walked out of the hall.
Dong Qifei and the others saw Ma Kun coming out with a cold face and left straight away. They breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the centurion had cured him again, and they were looking forward to a good life again.
Chu Li also left the Secret Guard Mansion and returned to the Royal Mansion, concentrating on cultivating Wanxiang Guizong.
The more he practiced, the clearer his mind became, his reactions became faster, his thinking became more agile, and he was a little stronger than before.
He knew ten things by hearing one thing, and he knew the wind when he saw the leaves moving. This strange feeling made him feel comfortable and unspeakable. He had everything under control, and he was able to do it with ease, which was a real pearl of wisdom.
Ten days passed before I knew it.
The return of all things to the sect has advanced very quickly, and it has already crossed the first level. When it reaches the second level, it can be seen more clearly and the scope is enlarged.
Yang Zongwen came here every day to report on the progress of the assassination case of Prince Kang's fifth son. (To be continued.) 8
