The city fox society rat lives forever in the dark corners of every city.

Like rats in the gutter, they can't see the light and people, and they like to burrow in dark, damp and dirty places, where the soil is suitable for their survival, and the dirtier they are, the more active the rats are.

The same is true of the power in Li Su's hands.

They are also unsightly, and this force cannot be announced to the public, because this is a force that has violated the taboo of the emperor and the magnates, Li Shimin and the important ministers of the court will never allow this force that is not under their control and has full influence and penetration ability to Chang'an City, or rather, it can exist, but it must be in the hands of the ruler, not Li Su.

Therefore, Li Su is always cautious about this power on weekdays, like holding a double-edged sword, not only to hurt others, but also to guard against it hurting himself, even if he knows that it is ultimately in his own hands, he is easily unwilling to use it, touch it, and even deliberately let himself and Wang Zhi stay away from it from it on the surface and get rid of it. This is a kind of protection for the self, except for him and Wang Zhi, no one can know the existence of this power, otherwise they will not be able to get along with their own and the heads of the whole family.

However, power must always be used, otherwise its existence would be meaningless.

No matter how firm his determination was before, he could only use this power as a last resort, and Li Su finally used it this time.

Regardless of whether it was worth it or not, without weighing the pros and cons of using it, and even regardless of whether this power would be exposed, Li Su still resolutely used it.

It should be used, men are afraid of the head and tail, the former is afraid of the wolf and the tiger, such a character will only harm himself.

Every day, a densely written piece of paper is passed to the Li family in Taiping Village, and several people with raw faces come and go in Taiping Village every day, and the lights of the Li family are not extinguished all night long......

It's like a machine that's been turned on. Under the command of the master, it was running at full speed, from Chang'an City to Taiping Village.

…………

For a few days in a row, there was not much valuable news coming from Chang'an City, all of which were gossip about the powerful and the people in the market, all kinds of shady. Funny, domineering, warm big and small things, but in these things and news, Li Su didn't find what he wanted.

Under the anger of the Hou of Jingyang County, he ordered the family to kill more than 20 people in a row, and this matter was also a sensation in Chang'an City. More than 20 lives in a row are already considered a major case.

The Criminal Department and Dali Temple have come to people, they are squatting in Taiping Village, Li Su has become the focus of attention, and the officials of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple have visited one after another, the rules and etiquette are meticulous, of course, the attitude is still business, and he will not let go because he is the Hou Ye.

The whole thing is only scratching the surface. It's not complicated. A group of strong beams broke into the village and stabbed Hou's father in Jingyang County. The Li family and the guards of the Princess's Mansion reacted quickly and annihilated all the strong beams in time before the bloodshed occurred.

After a few days of investigation, the Criminal Department and Dali Temple closed the case, the Li family was purely self-defense, and there was nothing wrong with annihilating more than 20 people, and the case was closed. As for the behind-the-scenes commanders of this gang of Qiang Liang, the officials of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple all told Li Su that they would definitely investigate to the end and would not tolerate Yunyun. Ben didn't expect the guys to track down anything.

The servants and servants of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple are not blind, how can they not see the strangeness in handling the case for many years? More than 20 people broke into Taiping Village for no reason, with a clear goal and came straight to Li Houye's father, and after the defeat, he killed himself.

********************************************************************

Five days after the incident, Wang Zhi of Chang'an City finally came with useful news.

It is news, but it is actually another murder.

A corpse was found in the wilderness thirty miles south of Chang'an City, and the body was thrown at the foot of an unnamed mountain.

The corpse has been gnawed by wild beasts to be shapeless, the head and limbs are gone, it is a headless corpse, the identity of the corpse can not be determined when the government comes to investigate, but a small silver cake cast by the official cast is found from the clothes, and the back is branded with the seal of the Qi Palace, the local government hurriedly entered Chang'an City, went to the Qi Palace, and found out that the Qi Palace, a few days ago, there was a person missing, this person is a small steward of the palace, responsible for the maintenance of the palace's carriage and horse honor guard, and is just a very inconspicuous little person in the palace.

The matter involving the prince is no longer something that the local county government can handle, so the county order was reported level by level and reported to the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, Zongzheng Temple, and the three divisions were integrated to investigate the case.

A case that seemed to have nothing to do with the Li family incident, Wang Zhi only felt that this matter was worth mentioning, so he wrote it down on paper and sent it to Taiping Village.

Li Su looked at the detailed account of the case on the paper, but kept his heart.

The main reason is that the word "King of Qi" is too conspicuous, because this King of Qi also intersected with him not long ago, King Qi is very domineering, Li Su is very interesting, and both sides are not happy, but they are also calm, and they have completed a strong buy and sell transaction.

"You haven't offended him, have you?"

In the dim candlelight, Li Su touched his chin and frowned and muttered to himself.

Xu Mingzhu sat with him, his eyes were a little swollen, and he had cried several times these days.

She was crying with Fang Lao Wu.

On that day of conflict, Fang Lao Wu risked his life to keep Li Daozheng safe, Li Su and Xu Mingzhu did not know Li Daozheng's hidden attributes, so the husband and wife were grateful to Fang Lao Wu, Fang Lao Wu was injured and unconscious for three days, with a lot of blood on his head, and his left arm was also discounted, the price paid to protect Li Daozheng was heavy, and the husband and wife were more grateful and guilty.

Xu Mingzhu and Fang Lao Wu have known each other for the longest time, when Li Su tricked her back to Chang'an from Xizhou, Fang Lao Wu was taking care of her all the way, not only taking care of her, getting lost in the desert is Fang Lao Wu's solution, and the Yumen Pass holding the guards hostage will be Fang Lao Wu's strength to support her, escort Xu Mingzhu and help her open the deadlock......

For Xu Mingzhu, she felt that she owed Fang Lao Wu too much, since the Jade Gate was closed, she had treated Fang Lao Wu as her elder, and the only thing that could repay him was to give him a comfortable and peaceful old age.

However, this small reward was not realized, Fang Lao Wu fought another bloody battle for the Li family, and almost lost his life, so if the Li family faces the most hated person behind the scenes, it must be Xu Mingzhu. (To be continued.) )
