Chapter Thirty-Five
Screaming, scolding, roaring...
A messy sound came from the underground palace.
Outside the rockery of Baimazhuang, Gongsun Lu rode a horse and rushed into the village with a team of imperial guards, quickly approaching the rockery where the riots occurred.
Yesterday, when Li Tianlu learned that someone was interested in Baimazhuang, he invited two people from Hutai Street to attend the hall just in case. Outside, the Imperial Guards holding crossbows were transferred to stand by at any time.
Gongsun and his son have always been the first to bear the brunt of such flattery, and Gongsun Lu personally brought the Imperial Guards.
Hearing that there was a riot in the village, Gongsun Lu couldn't wait to rush outside the rockery in order to seek credit from the Li family and asked the Imperial Guard to draw his sword and crossbow, and he said aloud:
"Bold thief, surrender quickly..."
"Don't shoot arrows, I'm from the Detective Department!"
Inside the rockery cave, a woman's call came out.
As the footsteps of "dongdongdongdongdong--" sounded, Xu Buling, who was masked in black, rushed out of the rockery with Zhu Manzhi in his arms and stopped at the entrance of the cave.
Zhu Manzhi held the package in his arms and held the token in his hand, for fear that the Imperial Guard would shoot thousands of arrows at the same time when he went out.
And in the stone cave behind, the guard with a knife shouted:
"Sir, hurry up and catch these two thieves. They will kill Li Tianyu and Young Master Li! They want to escape!"
Gongsun Lu was shocked. Unexpectedly, the cousin of the Li family was killed. This was a big deal. After thinking about it for a while, he raised his hand and said:
"Take it down for me! You can't resist and kill me!"
"promise!"
The Imperial Guard held the torch and the official sword, and was about to come forward to get the people.
Zhu Manzhi was stunned. She naturally recognized Gongsun Lu, who had met once. Perhaps she felt that the scene seemed familiar and didn't know what to say for a while.
Xu Buling's eyes were filled with blood, and his chest was poisonous and his forehead was already purple. If he showed his identity, Zhu Manzhi would definitely be noticed by the detective department, and his subsequent plans were also ruined. He hesitated for a moment and prepared to take a knife and kill him.
Fortunately, the riots in the village were quite large and had already alarmed many people.
When Xiao Ting, who was having fun and drinking, heard that someone was dead outside, he knew that Xu Buling must be causing trouble, so he hurriedly ran over.
Xiao Ting saw Xu Buling covered in blood from afar and was so scared that he was scattered. If he came out with Xu Buling, Xu Buling would die. He would probably have to go back to Huainan to think about it for the rest of his life, how could he not be afraid?
Xiao Ting hurriedly ran to the rockery, jumped up and slapped him on the back of Gongsun Lu's head.
Bang-
The strength was not heavy, but he was stunned by the unprepared Gongsun Lu, and he turned his head angry by pressing his hand on his waist:
"Who is so fucking... Yushu Linfeng... It turns out that it is Mr. Xiao, who is indifferent to respect."
Gongsun Lu's expression changed completely and he raised his hand in fear and fear.
Xiao Ting looked at the Imperial Guard who drew his sword and angrily cursed:
"It's not possible to rebel! Do you know who he is?"
Xu Buling's heart sank and quickly pinched Zhu Manzhi's waist.
Zhu Manzhi was shocked and quickly responded: "Mr. Xiao, I will come to investigate Baimazhuang as you ordered. There is indeed a big case hidden underneath that shocked the government and the country."
Xiao Ting was stunned, then remembered what Xu Buling told Mrs. Lu not to know. He coughed and said with a cold face:
"He is my escort. I have long suspected that the White Horse Village is covered with dirty things. Today I brought the wolf guards to investigate. It was indeed not as expected..."
Xu Buling raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that Xiao Ting was quite clever, saying these official words one by one.
Gongsun Lu naturally knew that Baimazhuang was covered with dirty and dirty things. Compared with the Xiao family in Huainan, the Li family was not even a little finger. He dared not to favor him at the moment. He continued: "So that's it, Young Master Xiao is indeed very clear." As he said that, he turned around and scolded the Imperial Guard: "Why don't you bring people in and see what happened."
The Imperial Guard took the order and rushed into the underground palace at the foot of the rockery.
Xu Buling approached Zhu Manzhi and whispered a few words, then carried the package in her arms and turned around and walked outside the Baima Village.
With Xiao Ting covering him, Gongsun Lu naturally did not dare to stop the masked guard from asking questions. He just pretended that he hadn't seen him, and bowed beside Xiao Ting and said:
"Young Master Xiao, Baimazhuang is the owner of the Li family. I am obedient and do everything. Everything has nothing to do with me..."
Xiao Ting, with his hands behind his back, looked at the stone cave under the rockery with his brows on his face:
"What's hidden underneath?"
Gongsun Lu naturally shook his head sincerely: "I heard that it is just a small industry and I don't know the humble position. Well... Mr. Li from Kuishou Street is very concerned about this place. You came here today and killed Li Tianlu's cousin directly, I'm afraid..."
When Zhu Manzhi heard this, he quickly ran to the front and raised his hand respectfully: "Young Master Xiao, the Li family's "feeding tigers with people" in Baima Village is unwilling tolerate by heaven. The emperor loves the people as his son, and knows that it will inevitably be furious. If you hadn't brought your humble post to investigate today, I wonder how many innocent people would suffer a tragic disaster."
Now that the emperor has been lifted out, Gongsun Lu naturally dared not speak nonsense anymore. He glanced at Zhu Manzhi and felt familiar, but Zhu Manzhi was wearing an ordinary daughter's jacket and skirt, but he had not recognized it for a while.
When Xiao Ting heard the "vice of tigers" and his expression became really serious, he frowned and said:
"Feed the tiger with living people? Can't the Li family afford meat?"
Zhu Manzhi nodded angrily: "Young master will know when you go down and take a look."
Seeing that Xu Buling was covered in blood, Xiao Ting knew that the corpses were bound to be everywhere and that he would go down there.
After waiting for a while, the leader of the Imperial Guard ran out with a pale face, bowed and was about to vomit, and he took a long time to report:
"Sir, there is an underground palace below, and many gentry were scared torn into it. There should have been a conflict just now. There were five corpses on the ground, all of which were incomplete. One of them was torn to pieces by a tiger... The scene was tragic..."
Although Xiao Ting had some problems with his brain circuit, he definitely couldn't tell the difference. If he did such a thing at the foot of the emperor, it would inevitably shock the government and the people. Xu Buling stuffed such a great reputation into his hands, and he would naturally take it.
After listening to the report of the Imperial Guard, Xiao Ting was furious and waved his sleeves:
"As expected, the emperor dared to do such a detrimental act under his feet. The Li family is really lawless. The person who came to seal the Baima Village for me."
When Li Tianyu was killed, there was not even a person in the village to make trouble, so naturally no one came up to ask for peace.
Gongsun Lu was afraid of being guilty of indulgence and shelter, so he had to justify the Li family's incompetence, and then he brought a group of imperial guards to seal the entrance of the rockery tightly and not allow anyone to come out.
There are also many princes and nobles in the underground palace, all of whom are prominent, but no matter how prominent the family is, they are as prominent as the Xiao family in Huainan. It is useless for anyone to come out to plead with him.
Xiao Ting is a serious family member. If he is exposed such a big thing, he is not good enough to be a virtuous person. If he is selfish, he will not only be misleading for life, but also be caught by his political opponents, and he will take the opportunity to pull his father off from the position of prime minister. He will definitely not dare to be favored.
The Imperial Guard surrounded him like this. When Chang'an City received the news, the brigade of Tianziying Langwei and the chief officer of Dali Temple arrived. Even if Zi was present today, it would be impossible to suppress the matter of Baimazhuang...
