Chu Li smiled and took out a small cloth bag from his arms. He handed it to Hu Guang Hui, "Chief Hu, please present this to High Duke Song or the heir to the High Duke. However, I'm afraid that the heir to the High Duke's words don't count."
"What's inside?" Hu Guang Hui cautiously looked at the cloth bag and did not reach out to take it.
Chu Li said, "A few jade pendants for the young master to play with."
Only then did Hu Guanghui stretch out her hand to take it. She opened the pouch and took a look. Indeed, there were a few jade pendants in different sizes, and they were all of good quality.
"What exactly is it?" Hu Guang Hui asked curiously.
Chu Li said, "Present it to High Duke Song. High Duke Song will know what it is."
"… Alright, I'll go in and report first. Guard Chu, please wait a moment!" Hu Guang Hui cupped his fists and turned around to enter the mansion.
The eight guards stared at him coldly. Judging from their stance, if he took a step forward, they would attack.
Chu Li stood aside with his hands behind his back.
Lu Yu Shu was dressed in a green robe and looked handsome. Accompanied by Xi Wu, he swaggered out of the residence. When he saw Chu Li, he immediately smiled and quickened his pace.
Lu Yu Shu stepped out of the residence and came before Chu Li. He frowned and looked at him. "Chu Li, why are you here again!"
"Can Master Lu decide whether I come or not?" Chu Li smiled. "This isn't the Ren Public House, is it? Could Young Master Lu still be the master of Huay Public House? Could it be that the Ren Public House wants to control the Huay Public House through marriage? "
"Nonsense!" Lu Yu Shu snapped, and glared at Chu Li with a dark expression, "Surnamed Chu, don't talk nonsense, you're really thick-skinned, you've been chased out, and you still have the face to come back?"
Chu Li smiled. "Young Master Lu, do you not understand why I was chased out?"
"What do I understand?" Lu Yu Shu's handsome face was gloomy, he glared at Chu Li, he was so infuriated by Chu Li that his murderous intent surged, he wanted nothing more than to stab Chu Li to death with his sword.
Chu Li replied, "Isn't it to save your life?"
"Arrogant!" Lu Yu Shu sneered, "Do you really think you can kill me?"
Chu Li smiled. "Why don't you ask High Official Xi if it's possible?"
"Chu Li, if you dare to touch my Master, don't blame the High Duke's Public House for retaliating a thousand times over!" Xi Wu said coldly, "It is said that Second Lady Xiao is the first beauty of the Great Ji Dynasty. It would be best for her to be my master's wife!"
Chu Li smiled and said, "You're quite brave then. The Second Lady is engaged to King An, I wonder if His Highness King An would agree to it! "
Xi Wu and Lu Yu Shu's expressions changed.
The relationship between the High Duke's Public House and the Imperial Family was subtle, but they would never betray the Imperial Family. This was their bottom line.
The Imperial Family was far more powerful than the High Duke's Public House. Usually, there were some things that could be done against the royal family, but once something like this happened, it would definitely not end well. The royal family's reputation was very important.
Chu Li said, "Young Master Lu, I'm back. So be careful! "
Lu Yu Shu sneered, "I don't believe you dare to break into Huay Public House!"
Chu Li smiled without saying a word.
Xi Wu pulled Lu Yu Shu and gave him a look. The two of them turned around and returned to Huay Public House.
It was really a narrow road for enemies. Two days ago, it was the Master who deliberately humiliated Chu Li. This time it was really a coincidence.
However, the Master had repeatedly looked for trouble. It was really dangerous. If he angered Chu Li, he was afraid that he would disregard Huay Public House and really assassinate him.
This time, he followed the Master alone. He was afraid that the target would be too big. If he came over quietly and settled things, then everything would be settled and he would no longer be afraid of destroying it.
Unfortunately, he met Chu Li!

Hu Guang Hui passed through two courtyards and came to the hall.
Song Shi Ling was undressed and reading a book. His chubby face was solemn. He was completely different from the Song Shi Ling in front of Chu Li. It was as if they were two different people.
"Heir to the High Duke," Hu Guang Hui entered the hall and bowed, "That Chu Li is here again!"
"Just chase him out!" Song Shi Ling did not let go of the book. His eyes were still fixed on the book and he waved his hand casually.
"He said to present this to the heir to the High Duke," Hu Guang Hui presented the cloth bag.
Song Shi Ling put down the book and waved his hand.
Hu Guang Hui stepped forward and handed it over.
After Song Shi Ling untied it, he took a look and directly poured a few jade tablets on the table. He looked at it and frowned.
Hu Guang Hui stretched his neck and smiled, "Heir to the High Duke, what is this?"
Song Shi Ling glanced at him and snorted, "Can't you tell?"
"I really can't tell," Hu Guang Hui shook his head, "I'm dull. Please enlighten me, heir to the High Duke."
"Old thing!" Song Shi Ling snorted and picked up a piece of jade, "This one is from the governor of White Horse City, … This one is from the governor of Limestone City. This one is from the governor of Raging Waves City and this one is from the governor of Calming Sea City! "
Hu Guang Hui frowned, "Heir to the High Duke, did he go to several cities and ask the governors for it?"
"Can you grow some brains!" Song Shi Ling's face was gloomy and he said angrily, "If someone asks you for this, can you give it? This is the most personal thing! "
These jade plates were personal things of people with status. They were used to ward off evil and suppress spirits. Even close people would not show it. Why would they give it to Chu Li?
Even if Chu Li used the identity of Huay Public House, they would not give it. They could only steal it.
How Chu Li stole it aside, he wanted to show that if he stole it, it would be easy to take these people's lives!
This was clearly a threat that couldn't be more obvious!
Hu Guang Hui quickly said, "Did he kill these governors?"
"Give him a hundred guts!" Song Shi Ling sneered.
Hu Guang Hui said, "Heir to the High Duke, do you want to call him over and ask?"
"… Let him in!" Song Shi Ling's face became gloomier and snorted, "I want to see what he wants to do!"
Hu Guang Hui hurriedly went out, fearing that he would be angered by heir to the High Duke if he stayed any longer.
Song Shi Ling played with a few jade plates. His face was gloomy and his mind turned.
A few days ago, his father was in the Public House because he did not want to see Chu Li. He did not want to shed all pretenses with Yi Public House. There was a buffer for him to come forward. After all, he had a friendship with High Duke Siao.
Now that his father was really not in the Public House, the matter fell to him. How to deal with Chu Li's threat was a problem.
Chu Li slowly walked into the hall, closed fist saluted and smiled, "Heir to the High Duke, how have you been?"
Song Shi Ling said coldly, "Sit!"
Chu Li sat opposite him and took the teacup handed by the maid. He smiled and said, "Heir to the High Duke, what advice do you have?"
"Surnamed Chu, what do you mean by this?" Song Shi Ling pointed to the jade plates on the table, "Did you kill them?"
Chu Li smiled and said, "Whether they live or die, it all depends on heir to the High Duke!"
Song Shi Ling squinted his big eyes and sneered, "How dare you!"
Chu Li spread his hands and said, "The Wang brothers dared to kill the governor of Chong Ming Road, but they are safe and sound. They are protected by the Public House. I am also a scribe. It is not a big deal to kill a few governors."
"Aren't you afraid of the Imperial House High Officials?" Song Shi Ling scoffed.
Chu Li said, "They have no evidence and can't find a witness. How can they say that I killed them?"
"I am a witness!" Song Shi Ling said.
Chu Li smiled and said, "Heir to the High Duke saw me kill them with your own eyes? You can be biased and protect those who saw it with your own eyes, let alone those who didn't see it with your own eyes? "
"Your Yi Public House is ready to shed all pretense of cordiality with us!" Song Shi Ling sneered, "Surnamed Chu, don't cause trouble for your Public House!"
Chu Li said, "Whether we are friend or foe, it all depends on High Duke Song!"
"Bullsh * t!" Song Shi Ling shouted, "Do you believe that I will kill you now?"
Chu Li shook his head and laughed, "Heir to the High Duke's words sound familiar!"
Song Shi Ling shouted, "Guards!"
