Song Siwen frowned, "Do we even need to investigate? We'll know at a glance! "
"Do you know who Chu Li is?"
"He's from the Public House."
"Then do you know that Chu Li is just a Scribe who just entered the Innate Mastery's Boundary?" Siao Tieying said coldly, "A kid who just entered the Innate Mastery's Boundary killed a High Official of the Imperial House. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
"Killing someone doesn't necessarily require martial arts."
"That's interesting!" Siao Tieying sneered at him, "A Grandmaster would be ambushed? Protector Song, can you please use your brain? Don't embarrass the Imperial House! "
"Master Siao, what do you mean?" Song Siwen's expression changed.
Siao Tieying sneered, "I'd like to ask you what do you mean! … You didn't even look at it and just convicted him. Is this how you angels do things? I'd like to ask the Emperor himself. Did he send a bunch of incompetent and unreasonable people to purposely disgust the Public House? "
"You … You …" Song Siwen stood up and pointed at Siao Tieying, "Siao, you've gone too far!"
Siao Tieying picked up his teacup and slowly took a sip. He sneered at him, "You didn't get off your horse when you entered the city. You just galloped in the city. You guys sure are impressive!"
"We were ordered to come here to prevent the murderer from escaping. Of course, we were a little anxious." Song Siwen slowly sat down and coldly said, "Even if we were a little careless, I'm sure the Emperor wouldn't blame us!"
"Careless?" Siao Tieying sneered, "Do you guys still want to gallop in the Public House?"
"In order to fulfill the Emperor's orders, we can only offend you." Song Siwen said calmly.
Siao Tieying scoffed, "Do you guys really think that High Official Zhao was killed by Chu Li?"
"Of course it was him!" Song Siwen scoffed, "He brought Brother Zhao out of the city. In the end, Brother Zhao died and he survived!"
"An Innate Master killing a Grandmaster? That's strange." Siao Tieying shook his head and laughed, "If an Innate Master could really kill an Innate Master, I'd rather not be a High Official of the Imperial House. It's too embarrassing!"
"From what we know, Chu Li has killed a Grandmaster before." Song Siwen said calmly.
"Can a normal Grandmaster compare to High Official Zhao?" Siao Tieying said, "He was lucky to be able to kill a normal Grandmaster. High Official Zhao was a High Official from the Imperial House. You can be killed by him? "
"That's not necessarily true." Song Siwen said, "There's always a time when a boat capsizes in a ditch."
"If that's the case, are you sure that it's Chu Li?" Siao Tieying sneered, "Don't you want to take a look at High Official Zhao's injuries?"
"There's no harm in taking a look." Song Siwen said, "I believe you've already dealt with it?"
"Heh, no wonder!" Siao Tieying shook his head and said, "Gauging the heart of a gentleman with your own mean measure. Did you think that we would fake the scars?"
"This small matter is not worth mentioning to the House of High Dukes," Song Siwen said lightly.
"Sure. Let's take a look first. After we've seen it, I hope you'll be able to say those words! "Siao Tie Ying sneered.
"Please!" Song Siwen stood up.
Everyone walked out of the living room.
Song Siwen said nonchalantly, "Oh right, did you guys send Chu Li away first?"
"Don't worry, he's heavily injured. He can't leave even if he wanted to. " Siao Tieying said coldly, "If he's really the murderer, the Public House will punish him according to the rules. We will not let go of anyone who damages the relationship between the House of High Dukes and the Imperial Family!"
As he spoke, his gaze shifted back and forth between the six people's faces. The threat was clear.
He sighed in his heart. Chu Li was too bold. He really dared to kill a High Official from the Imperial House!
—
The six Protectors from the Imperial House looked at Zhao Zilai's corpse. Their faces were gloomy as they walked out of the courtyard and stood in front of Siao Tieying.
"Let's go back and talk." Siao Tieying walked towards the pleasure boat.
"The injuries on his body are from flying blades, right?"
"Yes. It's flying blades. Chu Li uses flying blades, right? "
"Looks like it's really him!" Song Siwen nodded and looked at Siao Tieying, "Master Siao, we want to meet this Chu Li and ask him face to face. Otherwise, Master Siao will always say that we've wronged him!"
"Alright." Siao Tieying smiled, "Of course we want to meet Chu Li. Follow me."
A pleasure boat slowly sailed to the East Garden.
Li Yue was already waiting on the shore. He bowed from afar with a flattering smile on his face.
Everyone got off the pleasure boat and stepped into the East Garden.
Siao Tieying said, "Li Yue. How is Chu Li? "
Li Yue's flattering smile disappeared and he sighed, "Not too good!"
"Let's go and have a look." Siao Tieying took the lead and walked forward. Lin Quan quickly followed.
Zhao Qingshan, Song Siwen, and the others followed closely behind. They arrived at the courtyard where Chu Li was.
As soon as they stepped into the courtyard, the strong smell of medicine hit them. They could not help but want to cough.
In the middle of the courtyard, Chu Li was lying on a bed and basking in the sun.
He stared at the sky with his eyes wide open. His face was as pale as paper and he looked haggard. It looked like a tree that was about to die of drought, with its last breath.
"Chu Li." Siao Tieying laughed in his heart but his face was cold. "These are the Protectors from the Imperial House. They are here to investigate the cause of High Official Zhao's death. They want to ask you a few questions."
Chu Li's gloomy eyes fell on Song Siwen and the others. He said coldly, "Ask away."
"You are Chu Li?" Song Siwen came to the bed and frowned at Chu Li, "Are you injured?"
Chu Li sighed.
Song Siwen said, "Zhao Zilai?"
Chu Li scoffed, "Zhao Zilai?"
Song Siwen's spirit was lifted. He quickly said, "Do you have a grudge against Zhao Zilai?"
"A grudge of life and death!" Chu Li said coldly.
"So, you killed Zhao Zilai?" Song Siwen asked.
Chu Li scoffed, "I really want to kill him!"
"Good, it's good that it's you!" Song Siwen quickly said.
Chu Li glanced at him and sneered, "Don't you understand human language? Can I kill him? "
"Chu Li, speak properly. Tell me what is going on." Siao Tieying coughed and said in a low voice.
Chu Li glanced at Song Siwen lazily and scoffed, "High Official of the Imperial House? What bullsh * t High Official of the Imperial House? Colluding with the monks from the Tempest Temple to plot against me. This is the work of the High Official of the Imperial House!"
"Hmm …" Song Siwen was stunned. He stared at him and shouted, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Chu Li said coldly, "Can't you check if I'm talking nonsense or not? Just ask the monks from the Tempest Temple! "
"What a joke!" Song Siwen sneered. Although he was shocked by Chu Li's words, he quickly calmed down, "If Zhao Zilai wants to kill you, why bother with all that trouble? He can just kill you directly!"
"He wants to kill me?" Chu Li curled his lips and said disdainfully, "He doesn't have that ability!"
"You're just an Innate Master. How dare you!" Song Siwen turned his head and sneered at Siao Tieying, "Master Siao, your Public House is really talented!"
Siao Tieying said, "Chu Li's Light-body Technique is the best. High Official Zhao Zilai really can't kill him."
"What a joke!" Song Siwen scoffed.
Siao Tieying said coldly, "If the Tempest Temple wants to kill Chu Li, why would they need High Official Zhao Zilai's help? If Chu Li can be killed so easily, the Tempest Temple wouldn't have failed so many times. The closest they got to success was this time. High Official Zhao Zilai helped them a lot! "
"I want to examine his wound." Song Siwen scoffed.
"Of course, there's no problem." Siao Tieying said, "Oh right, High Official Zhao Zilai, what's the deal with the fatal wound on his chest? What kind of martial art did he use? You Protectors from the Imperial House are knowledgeable. I'm sure you can recognize it? "
"What about Master Siao Tieying?"
"I don't know." Siao Tieying shook his head, "I've never seen him before."
