capital.

Las Vegas.

"I don't care who you are! This gambling house belongs to you, right?!"

"Your buddy killed someone in public. I suspect that he was instigated by others. It is very likely that this was a long-planned assassination!"

"Now you must go back with me to assist in the investigation!"

Luo Ping gritted his teeth, stared at Li Wuji, and said loudly.

At this moment, he was completely irritated by Li Wuji's attitude. Not only did Li Wuji, the commander of the Imperial Guards, not only fail to salute, but he never even looked at him seriously from beginning to end.

In his anger, he seemed to have forgotten that Li Wuji had just returned in a carriage from the East Palace.

"It's just one person who died. Why would Mr. Luo put up such a big fight? Is it fear? Or something else?"

Li Wuji curled his lips and asked lightly, with a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth.

"It's just one person who died?! Do you know who the person who was killed is?!"

Luo Ping snorted coldly and asked loudly.

"I haven't asked for advice yet."

Li Wuji asked with a smile.

"The son of the Xiao family, the richest businessman in the capital, Xiao Hongyi!"

"The Xiao family is a royal merchant! Although no one is seeking a position in the court, their status is prominent and no lower than that of the princes and nobles. The taxes they pay to the court every year are enough to buy countless gambling houses like this!"

"Now that the descendants of the Xiao family have died in your gambling house, how many heads do you think you have?!"

Luo Ping snorted coldly and asked loudly.

Hearing Luo Ping's words, Li Wuji couldn't help but open his eyes, looked at the two people lying in a pool of blood, and frowned slightly.

He had heard about the Xiao family in the capital from the couple after he came out of the Heavenly Prison, but at that time he wanted to rob the princes, nobles or relatives of the emperor, so he did not target the Xiao family.

Unexpectedly, the Xiao family would die inexplicably in their own gambling house.

Li Wuji hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Cao Zian next to him, and found that Cao Zian nodded slightly towards him.

It seems that Luo Ping was right.

"What else do you have to say now?!"

Luo Ping glared at Li Wuji, already taking advantage of his momentum, looking confident.

"What are Mr. Luo's plans?"

Li Wuji paused and asked slowly.

While he was talking, Pang Xiaoxiao had already slowly walked over with a pot of brewed tea and silently poured a cup for Li Wuji.

"This matter is of great importance. This envoy must strictly follow the law. From now on, the gambling house will be sealed. Everyone present today, including the shopkeeper, clerks, and gamblers, must be detained pending trial!"

Luo Ping raised his head and said loudly.

"no."

Li Wuji took a sip from his tea cup and answered casually without any hesitation.

Hearing Li Wuji's answer, Luo Ping almost carried it back in one breath. This was the second time he was ignored! It was a huge loss of face!

"You can't do it if you say no?! Who do you think you are?!"

"Someone! Get it!"

Luo Ping gritted his teeth, waved his hand, and immediately issued the order.

Immediately afterwards, several officers and soldiers immediately stepped forward, preparing to arrest Li Wuji directly!

But at this moment, a strong wind suddenly hit, and a young man swooped down from the third floor like lightning, and rushed to Li Wuji in the blink of an eye!

A sword sound sounded, and an officer and soldier who rushed at the front couldn't help but scream, his face full of pain!

His shoulder has been pierced by a sword!

The person who came was none other than Lu Yuan, who had been hiding on the third floor from beginning to end!

He wasn't here at first, but lurked outside the palace gate waiting for Li Wuji to come out after the dinner, and then secretly followed Li Wuji's carriage back to the gambling house.

"What do you want to do?!"

Luo Ping was furious and grabbed his gun directly from the entourage on the side. He glared at Li Wuji and asked, already preparing to take action himself.

"I said no, I just can't."

"If you want to investigate the case, fine, I can go back with you. As for the others, you can't touch any of them."

Li Wuji slowly raised his head, looked at Luo Ping, and said lightly, with a relaxed smile on his lips.

"What if I have to take it away?!"

Luo Ping seemed to be on the verge of breaking out and asked fiercely.

"Then I'm afraid there won't be only two people dead here."

"Either you, or me."

Li Wuji smiled and pointed at himself and Luo Ping, and said nonchalantly.

Although he once ordered Tiannu to attack the capital guard Yamen, this was the first official meeting between him and Luo Ping.

"You dare to kill me?!"

Luo Ping was stunned for a moment and asked sharply.

"Do you believe that even if I kill you, no one can hurt me?"

Li Wuji looked at Luo Ping and asked with interest, with a playful smile on his lips.

After listening to Li Wuji's words, Luo Ping suddenly fell silent. An idea flashed in his mind, and he finally remembered the palace carriage at the door just now, and the East Palace guard who was respectful to Li Wuji.

He hesitated!

"What a loud tone!"

At this moment, a woman's voice suddenly sounded at the door.

Hearing the words, everyone couldn't help but turn around and saw that a bumpy figure had appeared at the door at some point, wearing a green gown and a cold face.

Leng Yue, the governor of the Five Elements Division!

After seeing that the person coming was Leng Yue, all the guards in the capital camp took a step back, knelt down on one knee, and bowed respectfully to Leng Yue.

Although Duyingwei and Wuxingsi are both important yamen in the capital, Wuxingsi is still one level higher.

"Envoy Lengzhen, you are here."

Luo Ping said respectfully while saluting.

"A dignified commander was actually intimidated by just a few words. Mr. Luo is really kind and kind."

Leng Yue said angrily, ignored Luo Ping, and slowly walked into the building.

After listening to Leng Yue's words, Luo Ping was stunned for a moment, his face turned extremely ugly.

"It's really lively. Both those who should come and those who shouldn't come are actually here."

Li Wuji sneered, and said lightly while picking up the tea cup that his junior sister refilled for him.

"If I hadn't come, how could I have seen the master's majesty?"

Leng Yue glanced at the corpse on the ground and said coldly.

"Master Leng is here to catch me too?"

Li Wuji asked calmly.

"If you don't want to go to Duyingwei, then go to the Five Elements Division with me. Don't worry, I won't take anyone else away except you."

Leng Yue looked at Li Wuji and said slowly.

"no."

Li Wuji shook his head and replied with a smile.

"But you just said you were willing to bear the responsibility alone and go back with the capital guards!"

Leng Yue frowned and said in a deep voice.

"I changed my mind."

Li Wuji said with a smile.

He understands Leng Yue, who is far more difficult to deal with than Luo Ping, and there are more personal grudges between this woman and him. If she really goes to the Five Elements Division, it will be difficult to figure it out.

"Go back on your word! How shameless!"

"Don't think it's okay if you don't agree, come here!"

Leng Yue clenched her fists, said something coldly, and then shouted loudly toward the door.
