Luo Yang was a straightforward person. He said whatever came to his mind.
Li Shiyan's contempt was like a knife stabbing into the Decapitating Nine Division's plaque.
Li Shiyan secretly gave him a thumbs up and didn't forget to add fuel to the fire. "That's right. If you can't do it, then forget it. If I spread the news in the martial world, then the reputation of the Decapitating Nine Division will …"
After saying this, he frowned and shook his head.
Zuo Tu didn't get angry. He knew that they were trying to provoke him. He calmly said, "Even if you threaten me, it's useless!"
Li Shiyan's expression turned cold. "Then what do you want in order to help investigate?"
"This matter concerns the people of General Wen's residence. Naturally, it can't be considered a martial world matter. If we want to investigate, then the imperial court will have to do it. Please leave."
"You …"
Zuo Tu had the intention to ask him to leave. He turned to the people outside and ordered, "Send them off!" Li Shiyan was furious. He slammed the table and stood up. "Decapitating Nine Division? You don't even put me in your eyes. Do you really think I can't do anything without you? To tell you the truth, we captured an assassin on the ship. However, he was heavily injured and is still unconscious.
Fortunately, his condition has improved recently. I believe he will wake up soon. At that time, I will put a knife to his neck. I don't believe that I can't interrogate him. "
Huh?
Zuo Tu's face flashed with astonishment.
His pupils shrank.
He clenched his fists under his sleeves.
After Li Shiyan said this, he turned to Luo Yang and said, "Since the Decapitating Nine Division doesn't care, then we will investigate it ourselves. I don't believe that assassin will be bedridden for the rest of his life! Let's go. We'll drag him out of bed right now! "
Luo Yang was very cooperative and shouted, "Let's go!"
The two angrily left.
Zuo Tu looked at their backs. His previous calm expression was replaced with a deep frown. He immediately called for Old Tang.
He whispered orders into his ear.
… …
After Li Shiyan and Luo Yang left the Decapitating Nine Division, they went straight to a dilapidated house in the northern part of the city.
After entering, he locked the door to the courtyard.
However, they didn't expect that someone was following them.
Several black shadows jumped onto the roof. Their faces were covered with black cloth and they held swords in their hands. They looked down at the dilapidated house.
But there was no movement at all.
After waiting for a while, one of them said, "Those two clearly went in just now. Why is there no sound?"
Another person said, "Did you see which room they entered?"
"I didn't see anything."
"Let's go down and take a look."
The leader immediately stopped him. "Be careful, it might be a trap."
"Don't tell me I can't leave now? If the System blames us, we'll have to bear the consequences. "
The leader hesitated for a while, but he had no choice but to agree.
The group of people stepped on the tiles and landed in the courtyard with Qinggong.
He could clearly hear the rustling of the leaves around him.
There didn't seem to be any traces of someone living here!
Someone sensed that something was wrong and shouted, "Not good, retreat quickly."
But it was too late!
A large net flew over the roof.
"Be careful."
The large net descended and trapped all of them. Then, a cloud of white powder scattered in the air. Before they had the chance to draw their swords, they were all knocked out!
In an instant, a few people jumped down from the roof of the courtyard and surrounded the large net with swords in their hands.
The captured black-clothed men were all knocked out!
A door in the courtyard suddenly opened and Li Shiyan and Luo Yang swaggered out.
Jing Rong followed closely behind them.
"The Beheading Nine Divisions is only so-so! They were captured so easily. "Luo Yang crossed his arms and sneered.
Li Shiyan kicked the man on the ground and said, "You dared to follow this Heir. This is your fate." He turned to Jing Rong and said, "You led the wolf into the house. You did a good job!"
Jing Rong wore a mask that covered half of his face. His expression was grim as he swept his gaze over the group of people trapped in the net. Then, he ordered his subordinates, "Take them away. Keep a close eye on them. Don't let out a single word."
"Yes!"
Perhaps those people who were knocked out still didn't know what happened.
They didn't know what was going on.
… …
At night.
Zuo Tu waited for a whole day in the Beheading Nine Divisions, but the people he sent out had yet to return.
Old Tang, who was sitting next to him, became anxious. He guessed, "Did something happen?"
After a while, someone came in and reported, "Eldest Master, Third Master, we've searched everywhere. There's nothing."
Old Tang asked, "Have you searched everywhere?"
"We've searched the city."
"What about outside?"
"The Heir of the Marquis didn't leave the city. Our people can't follow him outside."
Old Tang was worried and puzzled. "If he's alive, we need to see him. If he's dead, we need to see his corpse. How could he disappear into thin air?"
Zuo Tu, who had been silent all this time, waved his hand to dismiss the person who came to report. Then, he said to Old Tang with a serious expression, "I'm afraid this matter isn't as simple as it seems."
"Then what should we do?"
"I have to inform my superiors."
Old Tang understood what he meant. "Alright, I'll arrange it now."
… …
Late at night, in a remote pavilion by the lake, Zuo Tu had been waiting for a long time.
His usual calm self was flustered because of today's events.
After the time it takes to burn a few incense sticks, he paced back and forth in the pavilion.
He frowned deeply.
Little did he know that he was being watched by Jing Rong.
Jing Rong hid in a small forest by the lake. Ever since Zuo Tu left the Zhan Jiusi, he had been following him.
This time, he risked his life to lure the snake out of its hole. He wanted to find out which snake had set the trap between the Wen and Su families.
After another hour, it was already the hour of the Crow.
Suddenly, the sound of light footsteps came from afar. Jing Rong became vigilant. He saw a mysterious person draped in a cloak walking into the pavilion.
When Zuo Tu saw him, he was very respectful. He cupped his hands in greeting.
He was very respectful towards the person who had just arrived.
Just who could make even the head of the Nine Divisions Executioners have no choice but to be careful?
Only when the person took off his cloak did his face become visible under the light of the pavilion.
Jing Rong was shocked.
He didn't expect that person to be … Grand Tutor Yi!
… …
Su Mansion
Li Shiyan shouted loudly, "Grand Tutor Yi? How could it be that damned old man? "
Grand Tutor Yi was famous for his shrewdness.
The imperial court was mainly divided into two factions. One was the Su family, and the other was the Wen family.
Grand Tutor Yi formed his own faction!
He never interfered. "I understand now. So it was that old fox's doing behind the scenes. He planned to sow discord between the Wen and Su families and then reap the benefits! That must be it. This old thief … is truly vicious. "Li Shiyan said, clenching his fist and punching the air.
Li Shiyan clenched his fist and punched the air.
However, this punch was equivalent to punching cotton. He couldn't vent his anger.
As the saying goes, when a sandpiper and a clam fight, the fisherman reaps the benefits. Perhaps Grand Tutor Yi really had this motive.
However, Ji Yunshu didn't say anything.
She was pondering about something. Jing Rong seemed to know what she was thinking. He asked, "Are you thinking about something else?"
