Cloud Palace.

"What?"

The empress looked at the black-robed man who suddenly appeared in the middle of the night, and asked in a deep voice.

"Back to Your Majesty, I just received the news that Wuji Gongzi has arrested Tu Jiu and has sent it to the Five Elements Division!"

"In addition to Tu Jiu, there are also two secret agents of the Qianguo!"

The black-robed man bowed his hand and said respectfully.

Hearing the black-robed man's answer, the empress's face changed suddenly, and she sat up directly.

"You mean, Tu Jiu really has something to do with that incident?!"

The empress asked in a deep voice.

"After investigation, there is no doubt about it, but I didn't expect Wuji Gongzi to find out everything so quickly."

The black-robed man nodded and said.

"How's the matter of the secret agent?!"

The empress asked with a solemn face.

"There are more than ten people who have confirmed the identities of secret agents, and they are all under surveillance and still being tracked."

The black-robed man replied respectfully.

"Good!"

"You immediately go to the Five Elements Division, kill Tu Jiu and those two secret agents, and tell Leng Yue that no matter what she asks, this matter is over, and there is no need to track it down!"

"Didn't the Ministry of Shangshu Mansion and the Liyang Marquis Mansion always demand that the murderer of their son be severely punished? Tu Jiu is a good choice, and the portion is enough. ”

"In addition, except for Leng Yue, none of the people involved in the interrogation will be left!"

The empress pondered for a while and said coldly.

"Yes!"

The black-robed man 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.

Liwuji's efficiency has completely exceeded her expectations.

…

Early the next morning.

Li Wuji took Lu Yuan and Cao Zi'an to Xiao's house.

He promised Xiao Duqiu that after the matter was clarified, 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 for the time being.

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

"What for?!"

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

The Xiao family is powerful, and even the gatekeepers feel that they are superior, and they are also a man who grovels to women on weekdays.

"I'm looking for Xiao Duqiu."

Li Wuji smiled and said slowly.

"Bold! Dare to call our young owner by his name! Are you tired of being crooked?! ”

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

"I'm Wuji Gongzi, please report it."

Li Wuji smiled and replied lightly, not angry.

He was in a good mood today, because since he handed over Tu Jiu to the Five Elements Division last night, all Tu Jiu's business and territory in the capital city have been taken by him, including the Night Feather Palace!

Now he is already the underground king of the entire capital!

Hearing that Li Wuji reported to his home, the man hesitated, looked at Li Wuji, and always felt that the four words of Wuji Gongzi were very familiar.

Immediately afterwards, the companion next to him had already reacted, and hurriedly pulled the man to retreat to the door, whispering a few words in a low voice.

After hearing this, the man's face changed greatly, and after glancing at Li Wuji, he anxiously rushed into the mansion.

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

Li Wuji looked at Xiao Duqiu, smiled but did not speak, and looked confident.

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

"I've seen Master Hou."

"I don't know what happened to Master Hou's sudden visit?"

Xiao Duqiu knelt down respectfully and saluted, and asked slowly.

"I said I'd come to the door when it's all over and tell you what you want to know."

Li Wuji smiled and said slowly.

I have to say that he is very useful for Xiao Duqiu's respect.

Not because he likes others to have respect for him, but because he likes those who were once arrogant to bow their heads in front of them.

Especially women!

"Master Hou, please speak."

Xiao Duqiu raised her hand and said slowly.

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

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

"Master Hou, please!"

Xiao Duqiu frowned, hesitated to get out of the way, and said respectfully.

Li Wuji nodded, walked straight to the house, and passed by Xiao Duqiu.

The main hall of the front yard.

Li Wuji sat on the main seat as if no one was around, looking at the appearance of the dozen or so Xiao family guards inside and outside the main hall, as if they were facing a great enemy, and couldn't help but want to laugh.

He is not here today to make enemies, but to form alliances.

"Master Hou can talk about it now, right?"

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

"The mastermind behind the killing of your brother has been found, I sent it to the Five Elements Division last night, and he has admitted it all."

Li Wuji said slowly, calm.

"Who is it?!"

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

"Tu Jiu."

Li Wuji didn't deliberately show off this time, and said bluntly.

"The Ninth Master of Yindu?!"

Xiao Duqiu asked in surprise when she heard this.

"That's right."

"Although it has nothing to do with the gambling house, it is the death of my brother. After all, it was Tu Jiu who rose up to deal with me, and it was because I owe you a favor to the Xiao family. ”

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

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

"Master Hou, please take care of yourself, I still have something to do, go first."

Xiao Duqiu gritted her teeth, bowed, and said that she was about to leave Wuji and leave on her own.

"It's too late!"

Li Wuda said in a loud voice.

"What does Master Hou mean?"

Xiao Duqiu 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 at this time should be dead. ”

Li Wuji smiled and said slowly.

"Dead?!"

"Isn't that dead without proof?! Is it inappropriate for Hou Ye to push out a dead person to shoulder the blame?! ”

Xiao Duqiu frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"You don't believe me?"

Li Wuji asked with a smile.

"How can I trust you without evidence?!"

Xiao Duqiu said in a deep voice, his voice was stiff, and he was no longer as respectful as he was at the beginning.

"Qiu'er, Hugh is presumptuous!"

At this moment, a deep voice sounded, and a graceful and elegant woman slowly appeared at the door of the main hall.

It was the head of the Xiao family, Yun Baining, and a respectful middle-aged man beside him.

Hearing the words, Xiao Duqiu was shocked, hurriedly turned around, and saluted respectfully to Yun Bai Ning, who suddenly appeared at the door.

"I've seen my mother."

With Xiao Duqiu's words, Yun Baining had already put his arm on the middle-aged man's arm, slowly walked into the main hall, and walked straight towards Li Wuji.

The momentum revealed between the gestures was aggressive, and it seemed that he was deliberately imitating those nobles in the palace.

"You're Lady Yun, aren't you?"

Li Wuji looked at Yun Baining, asked with a smile, still sitting firmly in the chair, looking like the master of the mansion.

"I've seen Master Hou."

"Coming from Anhou really makes the Xiao Mansion shine."

Yun Baining bowed slightly, and said slowly, with a light smile on his face.

"I have long heard that the head of the Xiao family is peerless, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation."

Li Wuji nodded, and looked at Yun Baining as if no one was around.

Although Yun Baining is over forty years old, she still looks beautiful, and even has a hint of the charm of a closed moon.

Seeing Li Wuji's unscrupulous gaze, Xiao Duqiu's brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

And the middle-aged man who was holding Yun Baining didn't seem to hear anything, and after helping Yun Baining to sit down, he consciously stood beside Yun Baining, without saying a word, respectfully.

Li Wuji glanced at the middle-aged man intentionally or unintentionally, and then according to the respect of those subordinates in the hall for the middle-aged man, he immediately understood in his heart that the middle-aged man in front of him was the former head of the Xiao family before the empress ascended the throne, and Xiao Wenqi's father.

Xiao Wenqi, who used to dominate the business world, has now fallen to such a point without majesty, which can't help but make Li Wuji a little embarrassed.

This is the result of feminist rule, and it is what he hates the most.

"Master Hou has an overreputation."

Yun Baining covered her mouth and chuckled, and an irrepressible shyness flashed on her cheeks.

Seeing the shyness of pretending to be pretentious, Li Wuji instantly lost all interest and shook his head secretly.

"I just happened to hear Hou Ye say that the real culprit behind the murder of my son has been found?"

Yun Baining seemed to sense something, coughed, looked at Li Wuji, and asked softly, in a soft voice.

Hearing these words, Li Wuji couldn't help frowning, feeling like he was on pins and needles, because Yun Baining's unabashed gaze seemed to have appeared on someone's body as well...
