Chapter 101: Unrepentant(1/2)
Living in Zibo.
Private room on the third floor.
"This wine is indeed delicious, and the barbecue is unique and has endless aftertaste. Thank you for coming up with such a novelty."
"It seems that I really did not misjudge you. You are really proficient in everything!"
Li Jingyao was quite drunk and was full of praise for Li Wuji.
"Your Highness has given you too much praise. I just like to think wildly in my spare time and engage in such crooked ways. I can't live up to the standards of elegance. It's fine if Your Highness likes it."
Li Wuji waved his hand and said modestly.
"I like it, I like it very much!"
"It's just that compared to these, I prefer people who come up with these fantastic ideas..."
"Sir, do you know..."
"Come here, bring two more bottles of beer!"
Li Jingyao squinted her spring-filled eyes and looked at Li Wuji. As she spoke, she wanted to get closer to Li Wuji.
But before he could say anything, Li Wuji suddenly stood up and walked towards the door, shouting loudly.
"Your Highness, I'm going to go take a moment first. I drank too much and I'm a little nervous."
Li Wuji said something and left the box without looking back.
Li Jingyao looked at Li Wuji who was running away, rolled her eyes, and showed a helpless smile.
Looking back on the past, what she wanted to achieve had never been so difficult.
After escaping from the box, Li Wuji found an empty room and stood in front of the window to breathe.
Fortunately, he escaped quickly, otherwise if Li Jingyao really wanted to do something to him, he probably wouldn't be able to refuse her forcefully.
At this moment, Cao Zian suddenly opened the door and walked in.
"Sir, I just received news that all the Five Elements Officers lurking outside Las Vegas have been evacuated."
Cao Zian came closer and lowered his voice and said.
"oh?"
After hearing Cao Zian's answer, Li Wuji couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, showing a trace of doubt, because this was not like Leng Yue's behavior.
"According to the news from Tianyuan, Princess Yong'an went to the Five Elements Division in person. It should be related to her."
Cao Zian continued.
"Why did she do this? The person who died was his biological brother."
"Find a way to find out this matter as soon as possible!"
Li Wuji frowned and whispered.
"clear."
"My subordinates can't figure it out, but if the Five Elements Division really gave up investigating the case because of this, didn't Princess Yong'an help that kid by mistake?"
Cao Zian agreed and said somewhat unwillingly.
"It doesn't matter, the plan remains unchanged! Since someone is unrepentant, let him know what the consequences will be!"
"It's your own fault and you won't live!"
"Has the person I want arranged?"
Li Wuji sneered and said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, Young Master, everything has been arranged. If this happens, Jiang Ziqing will be considered to have made a great contribution to the Young Master."
Cao Zian nodded and said with a smile.
"Go ahead and order everyone to act as ordered without making any mistakes!"
Li Wuji winked and said in a deep voice.
Cao Zian nodded respectfully and said no more. After all, walls have ears.
After Li Wuji took a deep breath, he returned to the box.
"Where did you go? I thought you fell in."
Seeing Li Wuji coming back, Li Jingyao asked jokingly.
"Your Highness, you did drink too much today. Although this wine is not easy to get drunk, drinking too much makes your stomach bloated. How about we stop here?"
Li Wuji waved his hands and said with a grimace.
"But I haven't had enough fun yet."
Li Jingyao said reluctantly.
"It's really not possible. Let's wait for another day. Since His Highness wants to relax, why not invite His Highness to Qingping Painting Studio for a chat another day?"
"Do you like painting or reciting poems? Your Highness, what do you think?"
Li Wuji grimaced and said as if he was admitting defeat.
"Then what are you waiting for? It's better to hit the sun than to choose another day, go now!"
When Li Jingyao heard this, she immediately became interested and was about to get up and go.
"Your Highness, I did drink too much today, and I have double visions when I look at people. How about tomorrow?"
Li Wuji said with a smile.
"Okay, then it's settled. I will personally pick you up from the first floor of the world tomorrow afternoon!"
Li Jingyao hesitated for a while and finally agreed to go tomorrow.
Immediately, after chatting for a while, the two of them walked out of Zibo Residence together, got into their own carriages, and went back to their homes.
…
Yunxiao Palace.
The empress sat alone on the couch, playing with a chess game on the table with great interest.
What she was playing was backgammon.
During this period of time, there were constant rumors about Mr. Wuji, which aroused her strong interest. She would always study backgammon in her spare time.
In addition, she is also curious about landlord fights, barbecue, and beer, and even wants to watch a strip show on the first floor of the world.
At this moment, footsteps were heard, and the man in black robe slowly walked out of the corner.
"Your Majesty, not long ago, Princess Yong'an went to the Five Elements Division and asked Envoy Lengzhen to suspend the investigation of the murder of the young prince."
The man in black robe bowed respectfully and spoke slowly.
"Oh? Is this happening?"
"Her own brother is dead, but she stopped him from continuing the investigation? What's the reason?"
"Why didn't Leng Yue go to the palace to report this matter?"
The empress was stunned for a moment, looked up at the man in black robe, and asked doubtfully.
"Perhaps Leng Yue is not willing to let it go. As long as it has anything to do with Marquis Liyang, she will not give up such an opportunity easily."
The man in black robe said slowly, hitting the nail on the head.
"It seems that the grudge between her and Marquis Liyang is getting deeper and deeper. Maybe it's because she can't stand someone challenging her?"
"Speaking of which, just because the Five Elements Division is directly following my orders, no one in the capital has been paying attention to the Five Elements Division and her as the governor for a long time, right?"
The empress pondered for a while and asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty is wise."
"But this time, Leng Yue will probably be disappointed, because the person behind the killing of the little prince was not Li Wuji."
"It's Lu Qingshu, the son of the Minister of War."
The man in black robe cupped his hands and said.
"Because he was jealous, he actually dared to assassinate Ling Guo's proton. It seems that Lu Zhengping should take care of his useless son."
The empress sneered and spoke slowly. Although she was reproving, there seemed to be a trace of gratuitous smile in her words.
"According to the reports from the informants, the reason why Princess Yong'an asked the Five Elements Division to suspend the investigation is because it has been found that the young prince was killed and robbed because he won money in a gambling house and exposed his wealth. He was targeted by people with evil intentions. Wealth, and the murderer has been brought to justice by the people of the Princess's Mansion."
"I have sent someone to investigate. The so-called murderer is indeed a habitual criminal and has several lives on his hands."
The man in black robe paused and continued.
"It seems that I did underestimate that child before."
After hearing what the man in black robe said, the empress couldn't help but frown and said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, what should we do next? Do we need a lowly position to intervene to make this happen?"
