Xiao Qi asked, "The Spirit Blessing Pill can't save them?"
Zhao Qingshan shook his head with a heavy expression. "I was too late."
Xiao Qi looked at Siao Tieying.
Siao Tieying muttered, "What about the things they brought?"
"They were all robbed," Zhao Qingshan said, "Other than our Protectors, no one can prove that they are from the Imperial Residence of King An."
Siao Tieying waved his hand and said, "Sit down and talk."
Zhao Qingshan smiled bitterly, "Young Master, we don't have the face to sit here."
"You can't be blamed for this." Siao Tie Ying stroked his chin as he paced back and forth slowly, "Are the Protectors in the mansion badly injured? Can you come over and talk? "
Zhao Qingshan said, "They were knocked unconscious and don't know anything. They only suffered minor injuries."
"Then let them in." Siao Tie Ying said.
Xiao Qi said, "Linquan, call Chu Li over."
"Yes." Lin Quan bowed and quietly left the room.
Siao Tieying looked at Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi said, "Chu Li is better than me when it comes to reading people's minds."
Siao Tieying nodded slowly.
Four middle-aged guards entered the hall.
The four of them were in the prime of their lives and were all Innate Masters. But at this moment, they did not have the vigor of a Innate Master at all. They looked depressed and dispirited, as if they had just woken up from a hangover.
They stood in front of Siao Tieying and Siao Qi with their heads lowered.
Siao Tieying and Xiao Qi stared at them without saying a word. Zhao Qingshan and the other three did not speak either.
The air seemed to have frozen, and it was so quiet that one could hear the sound of breathing. The four middle-aged guards unconsciously held their breath, and their hearts were in their throats.
This time, they were ambushed and they could not stop it, causing the Envoy from the Imperial Residence of King An to be killed. They could forget about getting the Spirit Blessing Pill this year, the Envoy from the Imperial Residence of King An was no ordinary person!
After a cup of tea, Chu Li followed Lin Quan into the main hall and closed fist saluted.
"Chu Li, sit down and talk." Siao Tieying said, "The emissary from the Imperial Residence of King An was killed, but the four of them survived. Come and ask them what happened."
Chu Li nodded. He looked at the four middle-aged guards.
"Chief Chu," Zhao Qingshan said, "we found them in a residence in Flying Bird Town. The envoy from the Imperial Residence of King An was killed and their acupuncture points were sealed. Unconscious. "
Chu Li nodded and looked at a middle-aged Protector. "Senior Brother Sha, how many people are there in the ambush?"
A square-faced middle-aged Protector looked at Chu Li in surprise. He had never spoken to Chu Li before, so he did not expect Chu Li to know his name.
"Do you know who's the strongest in martial arts?" Chu Li continued to ask, "Brother Sha. Don't worry, think about it slowly. "
"The one with the strongest martial arts …" Guard Sha frowned and thought for a moment. He looked at the other three and said, "There are ten of them. The strongest one is about the same size as me. He's in his seventies. The distance between his eyes is very small and the space between his eyebrows is narrow."
Chu Li had already seen the image in his mind. "There's a scar under his left eye, and his hands are exceptionally long. The teeth in the middle are a little black, right? "
The guard surnamed Sha hurriedly nodded.
Chu Li turned his head and said, "Master, they are the High Official of the Ren Public House."
The guard named Sha hesitated for a moment.
Chu Li said, "He introduced himself, is he from the Huay Public House?"
"They seemed to have inadvertently let slip that they're from Huay Public House," said the protector with the surname Sha.
Chu Li smiled.
If he did not have the Omniscient Mirror, he would inevitably be deceived.
At most, he would be dubious. He would never dare to conclude that it was the Ren Public House. No matter how bold the speculation was, he could only speculate that it was the enemy of Huay Public House who framed them. How would he think that it was the Ren Public House who wanted to marry Huay Public House?
This Lu Yu Rong. Her method was really clever. She could not gain anything from him because she did not think of the existence of the Omniscient Mirror.
Siao Qi said, "Lu Yu Rong wants to frame Huay Public House?"
"Wanting to marry Huay Public House and still not forget to plot against Huay Public House," Siao Tieying sneered and said, "This woman. She's really vicious! "
Siao Qi looked at Chu Li.
Chu Li slowly nodded, indicating that he could conclude.
Zhao Qingshan said, "Then why not kill Protector Sha and the others?"
If Protector Sha and the others were killed, Chu Li would not ask these questions.
Siao Tieying snorted and said, "Lu Yu Rong often kills many birds with one stone. Her calculation is very good. First, she wants to use Protector Sha and the others to frame Huay Public House and let us fight with Huay Public House. Second, she wants us to suspect Protector Sha and the others. She is suspicious and disturbing people's hearts. Third, she wants King An's Imperial Residence to suspect us. In short, she is so vicious! "
Siao Qi pondered, "Can we use it to destroy their marriage?"
"Good idea!" Siao Tieying clapped and laughed, "I will personally question Huay Public House!"
The heir to the High Duke of Huay Public House had just submitted a memorial asking for forgiveness. If he killed the people from King An's Imperial Residence, what would the Imperial Residence think? No matter how strong Huay Public House was, they would not dare to do this. They would definitely try their best to investigate this matter. It was inevitable that they would fight with Ren Public House.
"Big Brother, you want to go personally?" Siao Qi frowned.
Siao Tieying said, "Chu Li can't do it. Heir to the High Duke Song's eyes turn red when he sees him. He won't listen to anything. If Elder Zhao and the others go, High Duke Song won't even see them. It's better for me to go personally!"
"High Duke Song will definitely embarrass you," Siao Qi said, "Heir to the High Duke Song will also take the opportunity to retaliate."
"No matter how much they cross the line, they won't dare to kill me," Siao Tieying smiled and looked at Chu Li, "This is all thanks to Chu Li!"
Chu Li's ghost-like Light-body Technique was a great deterrent. Everyone understood that if anything happened to him, the heir to the High Duke would not be able to escape the assassination. The Ren Public House would also be assassinated.
Chu Li said, "Master, you can't be careless."
"I'll go and return quickly. I'll leave the Public House to you, Third Younger Sister," Siao Tieying's expression became solemn, "Let someone continue to investigate this matter."
Siao Qi saw that he had made up his mind and nodded gently, "Do you want Chu Li to follow?"
"No need," Siao Tieying laughed, "Chu Li will only spoil things if he follows. Elder Zhao and the others are enough."
Chu Li said, "Master, High Duke Song is also an old fox. He may not be fooled."
"I don't expect them to turn hostile immediately. I'll stab them in the back first." Siao Tieying laughed, "I should also have a good talk with High Duke Song."
Chu Li slowly nodded.
Siao Qi said, "Protector Sha Qingshan, all of you go back and have a good rest. This matter ends here."
Protector Sha Qingshan hurriedly said, "Third Lady, we …"
The envoy from the Imperial Residence of King An was dead but they were still alive. Why?
There must be a mole among them. Not only would outsiders think so, but they would also suspect it.
Third Lady Xiao Qi was responsible for the mole in the Qing Su Public House. They wanted Xiao Qi to investigate and prove their innocence.
Siao Qi said, "All of you are fine."
Protector Sha Qingshan and the other three immediately let out a long sigh of relief and thanked her.
Siao Qi waved her hand and the four of them retreated.
"Elder Zhao, we'll depart for the Huay Public House tomorrow. You should prepare," Siao Tieying said.
"Yes," Zhao Qingshan and the other three also retreated.
Only Chu Li, Siao Qi, Siao Tieying, and Lin Quan were left in the hall.
"Chu Li, there's one more thing. I'll have to trouble you to go to the Imperial Residence of King An," Siao Tieying muttered.
Chu Li fist saluted, "Master, I'll do as you say."
Siao Tieying sighed, "About King An … I'll write a letter. You should personally deliver it to King An and explain it to him."
Chu Li nodded.
Linquan ground the ink. Siao Tieying picked up the brush and thought for a while. Then, he dipped the ink and wrote three pages in one go.
Linquan helped to dry it and put it in an envelope. He sealed it with wax and handed it to Chu Li.
Siao Tieying said, "Originally, a Protector would be enough to deliver the letter. However, their status is not high enough. It'll be too disrespectful. Only you can do it. Moreover, you'll be entering the Imperial Residence of King An. It'll be good to take a look in advance."
Chu Li took the letter and kept it in his arms, "I'll leave now."
Siao Qi frowned, "King An will inevitably be angry. Just ignore him."
Chu Li smiled and nodded. He fist saluted and left Iron Eagle Island to return to the small courtyard.
Xue Ling complained while packing, "Master, why does this kind of task always fall on you? You're such a bully!"
Chu Li smiled, "Don't say that. You don't need me to deliver a normal letter."
"It's not good news. The Imperial Residence of King An will definitely not be happy." Xue Ling packed the bag quickly and handed it to Chu Li, "You'll definitely be bullied if you go!"
