Yunxiao Palace.

"What's the matter?"

The empress looked at the man in black robe who suddenly appeared late at night and asked in a deep voice.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I just received news that Master Wuji has captured Tu Jiu and has sent him to the Five Elements Department!"

"In addition to Tu Jiu, there are two secret agents from the Qian Kingdom!"

The man in black robe bowed his hands and said respectfully.

Upon hearing the black-robed man's answer, the empress's expression suddenly changed and she sat up directly.

"You mean, Tu Jiu is really related to that matter?!"

The empress asked in a deep voice.

"After investigation, there is no doubt that it is true, but I didn't expect Master Wuji to have found out everything so quickly."

The man in black robe nodded and said.

"How is the investigation of the secret agent going?!"

The empress asked with a solemn expression.

"More than ten people have been identified as spies. They are all under surveillance and are still being traced."

The man in black robe replied respectfully.

"very good!"

"Go to the Five Elements Division immediately, kill Tu Jiu and the two spies, and tell Leng Yue that no matter what she asked, the matter ends here and there is no need to pursue it!"

"Don't the Minister of Civil Affairs and the Marquis of Liyang always demand that the murderer of their son be severely punished? Tu Jiu is a good choice, and the weight is sufficient."

"In addition, except Leng Yue, no one who participated in the interrogation will be left alive!"

The empress thought for a while and said coldly.

"yes!"

The man in black robe agreed, slowly retreated, and disappeared into the shadows of the corner.

The empress frowned slightly, slowly poured herself a glass of wine, and fell into deep thought.

Li Wuji's efficiency has completely exceeded her expectations.

…

Early the next morning.

Li Wuji brought Lu Yuan and Cao Zian to the Xiao family.

He promised Xiao Muqiu that after the matter was found out, he would personally give an explanation to the Xiao family.

It's not because he's afraid of the Xiao family, it's just because he doesn't want to be an enemy of the Xiao family yet.

A rich ally is better than an enemy who is favored by the court.

"what for?!"

The guard at the door looked at Li Wuji who got off the carriage and asked arrogantly.

The Xiao family was so powerful that even the gatekeeper felt that he was superior to others, and he was a man who usually bowed to women.

"I'm looking for Xiao Muqiu."

Li Wuji smiled and said slowly.

"How brave! You actually dare to call our young boss by his first name! Are you tired of living a crooked life?!"

When the man heard this, he immediately became furious and shouted sharply.

"I am Mr. Wuji, please inform me."

Li Wuji smiled and replied calmly, without getting angry.

He is in a good mood today, because since he handed Tu Jiu over to the Five Elements Division last night, he has taken over all Tu Jiu's business and territory in the capital, including Ye Yu Palace!

Now he is the underground king of the entire capital!

Hearing Li Wuji announce his family status, the man hesitated and looked at Li Wuji, always feeling that the words "Master Wuji" were very familiar.

Immediately afterwards, the companion next to him reacted and hurriedly pulled the man back to the door and whispered a few words in a low voice.

After hearing this, the man's face changed drastically. After a sharp look at Li Wuji, he rushed into the house anxiously.

Soon, with the sound of chaotic footsteps, Xiao Muqiu walked out quickly with a group of men. After seeing that the person who came was really Li Wuji, a trace of solemnity flashed on his face.

Li Wuji looked at Xiao Muqiu and smiled without saying a word, looking confident.

Although he stood a little low, his momentum completely overwhelmed Xiao Muqiu.

"I've met the Marquis."

"I wonder why the Marquis paid a sudden visit?"

Xiao Muqiu knelt down respectfully and bowed, and asked slowly.

"I said that after everything is over, I will come to you in person and tell you what you want to know."

Li Wuji smiled and said slowly.

I have to say that he was very grateful for Xiao Muqiu's respect.

Not because he likes others to be respectful to him, but because he likes those who used to be so arrogant to bow their heads in front of him.

Especially women!

"Master Marquis, please tell me."

Xiao Muqiu raised his hand to signal and said slowly.

"You don't want me to come in and sit down?"

Li Wuji asked with a smile, showing all his kindness.

"Master Marquis, please!"

Xiao Muqiu frowned, hesitantly moved out of the way, and said respectfully.

Li Wuji nodded and walked straight to the mansion, passing Xiao Muqiu.

Front yard main hall.

Li Wuji sat on the main seat as if no one else was around, looking at the dozens of Xiao family nurses inside and outside the main hall looking like they were facing an enemy, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

He is not here to make enemies today, but to make allies.

"Master Hou, can you speak now?"

Xiao Muqiu waited for a long time, until Li Wuji drank all the tea in the cup, and finally couldn't help but ask again.

"The person behind the murder of your brother has been found. I sent it to the Five Elements Department last night, and he has confessed everything."

Li Wuji said slowly and calmly.

"Who is it?!"

Xiao Muqiu's face changed slightly and she couldn't help but ask.

"Tu Jiu."

Li Wuji didn't show off deliberately this time and spoke straightforwardly.

"Yindu Ninth Master?!"

When Xiao Muqiu heard this, he asked in surprise.

"That's right."

"Although it has nothing to do with the gambling house, my brother's death was ultimately caused by Tu Jiu to deal with me. Just think of it as a favor that I owe you Xiao family."

"If the Xiao family needs it in the future, you can ask me for this favor at any time."

Li Wuji nodded, looked at Xiao Muqiu seriously and said.

"Master Marquis, please help yourself. I have something else to do, so I'll go ahead."

Xiao Muqiu gritted his teeth, bowed his hands, and said that he was about to leave Li Wuji and leave on his own.

"It's too late!"

Li Wuji said loudly.

"What do you mean, Lord Marquis?"

Xiao Muqiu stopped, turned around slowly, and asked hesitantly.

"You want to go to the Five Elements Division to ask for someone, right? I'm afraid it's too late. Tu Jiu should be dead at this time."

Li Wuji smiled and said slowly.

"Dead?!"
