Leaving Anhou Mansion.

Backyard main hall.

"Master Hou, please spare my life! This villain is short-sighted and should not listen to other people's instigation. Please spare my life, Lord Marquis..."

Just when the middle-aged man could speak, he struggled to look at Li Wuji and begged.

"It's no use telling me. You have to tell him whether you can survive."

Li Wuji curled his lips, pointed at Xiao Hongxing, and said with a sneer.

"Mr. Xiao, it's all the villain's fault. You have a lot of money, please spare my life!"

"If the villain knows that you are the Marquis's servant, even if the villain borrows ten courages from the villain, he will not dare to do so!"

After hearing what Li Wuji said, the middle-aged man hurriedly turned to Xiao Hongxing and begged.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Xiao Hongxing didn't react for a while. He looked at the middle-aged man and then at Li Wuji.

"Tell me everything you know again."

Li Wuji pointed at Xiao Hongxing and said in a deep voice.

"yes!"

"Master Xiao, all of this was ordered by Xiao Muqiu. The villain was forced to do nothing. The Xiao family is so powerful, who dares to offend him?"

"Your goods were robbed by them. They are not bandits at all. They were arranged by Xiao Muqiu!"

"Her purpose is to destroy Jishantang, take it back from the hands of villains, and cut off your way out!"

"Every grievance has its owner. This is the grudge between you. The villain is just his pawn!"

The middle-aged man agreed, looked at Xiao Hongxing again, and defended himself anxiously.

After listening to the middle-aged man's words, Xiao Hongxing clenched his fists unconsciously, his face gloomy, and his eyes were once again filled with resentment.

"You should have guessed it, right?"

Li Wuji took a sip of tea, turned to look at Xiao Hongxing, and asked lightly.

"Guessed some."

Xiao Hongxing nodded and said with a trembling voice.

He guessed that the bandits were probably related to Dafang, but he did not expect that even the buyer was Xiao Muqiu.

"Don't worry, the group of people pretending to be bandits have all been captured by the Jinling Army and are being escorted to the capital by people from the Ministry of War."

"He is just one of them. If nothing happens to the rest, they will soon be imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment!"

Li Wuji pointed at the young man who was still unable to move or speak, and said calmly.

"Thank you for your help, sir, Hongxing is very grateful!"

Xiao Hongxing stood up with some excitement, knelt on one knee, and bowed respectfully to Li Wuji.

"Get up quickly."

Li Wuji smiled and personally helped Xiao Hongxing up.

"Tell me, what do you want to do with them?"

Immediately, Li Wuji pointed at the two people kneeling on the ground and asked calmly.

Xiao Hongxing turned his head and looked at the two people. Although his face was filled with hatred, he remained silent and there was a trace of struggle between his eyebrows.

"Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself."

"If you want to take over the Xiao family, you must not be kind to a woman."

Li Wuji looked at Xiao Hongxing and said meaningfully.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Hongxing suddenly picked up an empty teacup on the table and threw it to the ground!

With a crisp sound, the tea cup fell apart instantly. Looking at Xiao Hongxing again, he bent down and picked up a piece of porcelain from the ground. He quickly walked behind the young man, held the porcelain piece in his hand, and slashed it from the young man's throat.

Pass!

With a desperate groan, and a spurt of blood spurting out, the young man pulled out a few times, and then fell motionless into a pool of blood, gradually losing his ability to struggle!

Immediately afterwards, I saw Xiao Hongxing holding the piece of porcelain and walking towards the middle-aged man again, doing the same without hesitation!

After a while, the two people who were tied up fell down and took their last breaths one after another.

Xiao Hongxing, who killed two people in a row, froze on the spot, his hands were stained with blood, and his eyes were blood red. He kept breathing heavily, his face was pale, and his shoulders were shaking slightly.

This is his first time killing someone!

But it is also the first step in transformation!

In this world of the jungle, there is no mercy!

Looking at Xiao Hongxing who couldn't calm down for a while, Cao Zian slowly stepped forward, snatched away the bloody piece of porcelain, and then ordered people to carry the two bodies out of the main hall and clean up the scene.

After everything was over, Xiao Hongxing gradually came back to his senses. He weakly sat back to where he was before, picked up the teapot, and drank three full cups in a row.

"What are you going to do next?"

Li Wuji looked at Xiao Hongxing who was gradually regaining his senses, looked at the slap marks, and continued to ask.

In his opinion, this matter is not over yet.

"ah?"

Xiao Hongxing turned his head to look at Li Wuji in confusion, his expression still a little dull.

"Now that you know it's Dafang's fault, how do you plan to fight back?"

Li Wuji asked calmly.

"Since the order has been exposed, explain it to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment and ask them to arrest Xiao Muqiu and bring him to justice!"

Xiao Hongxing gritted his teeth and replied.

"Are you satisfied with just eradicating one Xiao Muqiu?"

Li Wuji smiled and asked in a deep voice.

"Young master, you mean the head of the family..."

Xiao Hongxing was stunned for a moment, his expression solemn, and he hesitated.

"Do you think what Xiao Muqiu did can be hidden from Yun Baining?"

"Perhaps this was a conspiracy between mother and daughter."

Li Wuji sneered and said.

"Then arrest them all!"

Xiao Hongxing gritted his teeth and said with trembling lips.

"No, that would be too cheap for them."

"And with the Xiao family's status in the court, they may not be able to eradicate their mother and daughter with this matter. If you want to kill them, it will be easy and there is no need to go to such a big trouble."

"What you want to do is to regain the Xiao family's property!"

Li Wuji shook his head and said seriously.

After hearing Li Wuji's words, Xiao Hongxing nodded hesitantly.

"Forget it, leave this matter to me."

"The goods you lost can be taken away from the Ministry of Punishment after the Ministry of War brings the people and goods back to the capital and the case is settled."

"Now that the buyer is dead, you don't have to worry, but I'm afraid you have to find a way to find a new buyer."

Li Wuji waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Thank you, sir!"

Xiao Hongxing nodded and thanked him again.

Immediately, Xiao Hongxing said goodbye to Li Wuji and left the Hou Mansion.

However, seeing Xiao Hongxing still unable to recover from the fear, Li Wuji felt uneasy and asked Cao Zian to secretly send someone to escort Xiao Hongxing back to the Xiao Mansion.

The next day, people from the Ministry of War escorted the "mountain bandits" back to the capital, reported the matter to the imperial court, and the Ministry of Punishment presided over the trial. All the prisoners were detained, and the goods were returned to their original owners.

Soon, the news spread throughout the streets.

The storm ended like this, but the people involved in it did not give up.

…

Xiao Mansion.

It was another evening, when the lanterns were first turned on, in the courtyard of the big house, a family of three had just had dinner.

Before he had time to clean up, he was interrupted by the anxious butler Wu Qian.

"Master, Marquis Li'an is here!"
