Chapter 75: Borrow flowers to thank Buddha(1/2)
Abandoned house.
"It's all nonsense! What you just said was all fabricated by you!"
"Okay, I admit that I was the one who sent people to sneak into the gambling house to kill Xiao Hongyi, but what you said about the mission's secret possession of gunpowder has nothing to do with me!"
"Stop spitting blood!"
Tu Jiu's eyes widened and he roared emotionally.
"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, because I don't need you to admit it at all. Whether you admit it or not, it's over."
"By the way, let me tell you that after the Qian Kingdom mission left the capital, they were attacked by bandits and no one survived. Do you think their luck is that bad?"
Li Wuji sneered and looked at Tu Jiu as if he were telling a story.
After hearing what happened to the mission, Tu Jiu's face became even more ugly. Fear had spread from his eyes to his face, and his lips began to tremble non-stop, but he could hardly utter a single word of defense.
"Your Yeyu Palace is filled with nobles and nobles. Once Yeyu Palace is bombed, it will definitely cause heavy losses to the Li Kingdom court. Do you think you can still survive for such a crime?"
"In order to help the mission, you are really willing to spend a lot of money!"
Li Wuji looked at Tu Jiu and asked seriously.
"Even if what you say is true, so what?!"
"You don't dare to kill me! The court doesn't dare to touch me either!"
Tu Jiu gritted his teeth, glared at Li Wuji fiercely, roared, his eyes were red.
"I'm curious, who gave you such unscrupulous and confident courage?"
"Who is the person standing behind you?!"
"Tell me his name, maybe I can let you die a little more peacefully."
Li Wuji stared into Tu Jiu's eyes and asked word for word.
"You don't deserve to know. By the time you find out, you will be dead!"
"You don't have to scare me. As long as I don't admit it, the court can't do anything to me! You have no evidence!"
Tu Jiu sneered and suddenly became a little proud.
Although he was still frightened, he was still confident.
Li Wuji did not continue to pester, but waved to Cao Zian beside him.
Cao Zian nodded, turned and walked out of the room.
Soon, Cao Zian led people back to the room, and escorted two people who looked frightened.
"Do you know them?"
Li Wuji pointed at the two people kneeling on the ground and asked with a smile.
Tu Jiu didn't speak, but his face had turned from pale to pale, and there was a trace of despair in his eyes.
"Then you should know him, right?"
Li Wuji looked at the two people kneeling on the ground again and continued to ask with a smile.
The two people didn't speak, just nodded silently.
Seeing the two men nodding, Li Wuji couldn't help laughing. The laughter echoed in the small room, sounding so creepy.
These two people were none other than the two secret agents of the Qian Kingdom who pretended to be the ones in the mission and helped Shen Qingshan hide the truth!
After the private house where the gunpowder was hidden was destroyed, Shen Qingshan received the news immediately. In order to make the mission seem unrelated to the whole incident, Shen Qingshan specially transferred two people from the spies lurking in the Qian Kingdom. He infiltrated the mission and filled the gap left by the two assassins!
There were more than a hundred people in the mission, and even Shen Fang, the ambassador responsible for the reception, could not recognize them all.
When leaving that day, Li Wuji had secretly informed Jiang Ziqing to secretly find these two people and handed them over to Cao Zian when the mission left the capital!
With them, Tu Jiu's charge of treason is confirmed, and there is no chance of further debate!
"Okay, I've said everything I want to say. Since you don't want to say it, I don't want to hear it either."
"As for the person behind you, I'm not interested in knowing. If you die, he will appear sooner or later."
"From now on, all your properties and businesses will belong to me."
"This is what you will get if you dare to be my enemy."
As Li Wuji spoke, he stood up slowly and was ready to leave.
"Let me go!"
"You can do anything you want! Can you spare my life?!"
Seeing that Li Wuji was about to leave, Tu Jiu finally panicked and almost begged.
"I won't kill you."
"But you still can't survive. Even if the person behind you can have hands and eyes, he can't protect you!"
After Li Wuji left a word, he turned around and walked out of the room.
"You must die a good death!"
"Sooner or later, what will happen to you..."
Tu Jiu looked at Li Wuji leaving and was hysterical for a moment. But before he finished speaking, he was knocked unconscious by Cao Zian and was carried out of the room.
Soon, Li Wuji led everyone out of the abandoned house and headed directly towards the Five Elements Department under the moonlight.
It is true that he never thought about killing Tu Jiu with his own hands, but he had already laid a grave for Tu Jiu.
...
Five Elements Division.
"Sir, Mr. Wuji is here!"
Just when Leng Yue was sitting at his post, unable to do anything about the gambling house murder case and the envoy's rebellion, one of his subordinates rushed in quickly and said nervously.
After hearing what his subordinates said, Leng Yue frowned instantly and her face changed slightly.
"Where?!"
"How many people did you bring?!"
Leng Yue hesitated for a moment and asked in a deep voice.
"Just outside the gate, there are...six or seven..."
The subordinate thought about it and said.
Leng Yue paused for a moment, said nothing, picked up the sword on the table, stood up and walked out quickly.
She had already heard about the empress conferring the title of Marquis of Li'an on Young Master Wuji, and thought that Young Master Wuji was seeking revenge.
Soon, Leng Yue led a group of men out of the gate and saw Li Wuji standing at the foot of the steps leisurely.
"What are you doing here?!"
Leng Yue stopped, stared at Li Wuji, and asked in a deep voice.
Dozens of subordinates scattered sideways, as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and among them were the envoys of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
"Why don't you bow to me when you see me?"
Li Wuji looked at Leng Yue and asked lightly, with a playful sneer on his lips.
Once upon a time, this was what Leng Yue said when she met him for the first time.
"I've met Marquis Li'an!"
Leng Yue frowned, suppressing the unwillingness and anger in her heart, and took the lead in kneeling on the ground with one knee and bowed her hands.
Seeing Leng Yue like this, the rest of the Five Elements Division also followed suit and knelt down to salute one after another.
Seeing this scene, the smile on Li Wuji's face became even brighter.
"I wonder why Lord Marquis came here late at night?"
Leng Yue stood up slowly and asked expressionlessly.
It can be heard from her voice that she almost said it through clenched teeth.
"I have nothing to do, so I'll give you a big gift."
Li Wuji said and waved.
Immediately afterwards, under Cao Zian's instruction, several men carried the unconscious Tu Jiu and the two Qianguo secret agents out slowly, and placed the three people on the steps.
Only then did Leng Yue, who was wary, notice that Li Wuji came with three unconscious people, and when he saw that one of the three people was Tu Jiu, his expression changed.
"Master Hou, what does this mean?!"
Leng Yue frowned and asked in a deep voice.
"Aren't you investigating the gambling house murder case and the mission rebellion case?"
"Both of these incidents are related to Tu Jiu. The remaining two are secret agents of the Qian Kingdom. You will know after you bring them back for a first trial."
