The prince is very fierce

Scream, scold, roar...

Chaotic sounds came from the underground palace.

Outside the rockery of Baima Village, Gongsun Lu rode a big horse and led a group of imperial guards into Zhuangzi, quickly approaching the rockery where the commotion occurred.

Yesterday, after Li Tianlu learned that someone was 'interested' in Baima Village, just in case, he invited two people from Hutai Street to sit in the restaurant overnight, and the imperial guards armed with crossbows were mobilized outside to stand by at any time.

For this kind of flattery, Gongsun and his son have always been the first to bear the brunt. Gongsun Lu personally came with the imperial guards.

Hearing that there was really a riot in Zhuangzi, Gongsun Lu couldn't wait to claim credit from the Li family and rushed outside the rockery. He asked the imperial guards to draw their swords and crossbows, and he said loudly:

"Bold thief, catch him quickly..."

"Don't shoot, I'm from the Detective Department!"

From inside the cave in the rockery, a woman's call came out.

As the footsteps of "dong dong dong -" sounded, Xu Buling, masked in black clothes, rushed out of the rockery with Zhu Manzhi in his arms, and stopped at the entrance of the cave.

Zhu Manzhi held the package in his arms and held up the token in his hand, fearing that when he went out, the imperial guards would rain down thousands of arrows.

In the cave behind, the knife-wielding guard shouted from afar:

"Sir, catch these two thieves quickly. They killed Mr. Li Tianyu and Li! They want to escape!"

Gongsun Lu was shocked. He didn't expect that the young cousin of the Li family was killed. This was a big deal. After thinking for a moment, he raised his hand and said:

"Get it! If you dare to resist, shoot to death!"

"promise!"

The imperial guards held torches and official swords, and were ready to step forward to take someone.

Zhu Manzhi's eyes were full of astonishment. She naturally recognized Gongsun Lu, whom she had met once before. Perhaps she felt that the scene seemed familiar, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Xu Buling's eyes were bloodshot, his chest was covered with poisonous hair and his forehead was already blue. If his identity is exposed, Zhu Manzhi will definitely be noticed by the Criminal Investigation Department, and his subsequent plans will be ruined. He hesitated for a moment, then prepared to fight out with a knife.

Fortunately, the commotion in Zhuangzi was relatively large and had already alarmed many people.

When Xiao Ting, who was enjoying the day and night, heard that someone was dead outside, he knew that Xu Bu Ling must be causing trouble, so he hurried over.

Xiao Ting saw Xu Bu Ling covered in blood from a distance and was so frightened that if he came out with Xu Bu Ling, Xu Bu Ling would die. He would probably have to go back to Huainan and think about it for the rest of his life. How could he not be afraid?

Xiao Ting hurried to the rockery, jumped up and slapped Gongsun Lu on the back of the head.

Snap——

The force was not strong, but it stunned the unprepared Gongsun Lu. He pressed the knife on his waist and turned his head angrily:

"Who the hell is so...Yushu Linfeng...it turns out to be Mr. Xiao, disrespectful and disrespectful."

Gongsun Lu's expression changed completely, and he raised his hands in fear.

Xiao Ting looked at the imperial guards who drew their swords and raised their crossbows, and cursed angrily:

"It's all reversed! Do you know who he is?"

Xu Bu Ling's heart sank, and he quickly pinched Zhu Manzhi's waist.

Zhu Manzhi was excited and answered quickly: "Mr. Xiao, I came here to investigate Baima Village according to your instructions. Sure enough, there is a big case hidden underneath that shocked the government and the public."

Xiao Ting was stunned for a moment before he remembered what Xu Buling had told Mrs. Lu not to know. He coughed and said with a cold face:

"He is my young master's bodyguard. I have long suspected that this White Horse Village is harboring evil and evil. Today I brought the wolf guard here to investigate, and it turned out to be just as I expected..."

Xu Buling raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect Xiao Ting to be quite clever, and he knew all the official words.

Gongsun Lu naturally knew that Baima Village was full of filth and evil. Compared with the Xiao family in Huainan, the Li family was not even a small finger. How dare he be partial at the moment? He continued: "I see, Mr. Xiao is really aware of everything." After that, he turned around and scolded angrily. Imperial Guard: "Bring people in quickly and see what happens."

The Royal Forest Army took the order and quickly rushed into the underground palace under the rockery.

Xu Buling leaned close to Zhu Manzhi's face and whispered a few words, then he picked up the package in her arms and turned around to walk outside Baima Village.

With Xiao Ting covering him, Gongsun Lu naturally did not dare to stop the masked guard for questioning. He just pretended that he had not seen him and bowed next to Xiao Ting:

"Mr. Xiao, Baima Village is the property of the Li family. I take orders from my humble position. Everything has nothing to do with me..."

Xiao Ting looked like a prime minister with his hands behind his back, frowning as he looked at the cave under the rockery:

"What's hidden down here?"

Gongsun Lu naturally shook his head sincerely: "I heard that it's just a small industry, and I don't know about the humble position. Hmm... Mr. Li from Kuishou Street is very interested in this place. I'm afraid you came here today and directly killed Li Tianlu's cousin. …”

When Zhu Manzhi heard this, he quickly trotted forward and raised his hands respectfully: "Mr. Xiao, the Li family's act of 'feeding tigers with people' in Baima Village is not allowed by heaven. The Holy One loves the people like his own children, so he will be furious if he knows it. Today If you hadn't come here with your humble position to investigate, I don't know how many innocent people would have suffered."

Now that the Holy One has been brought out, Gongsun Lu naturally does not dare to talk nonsense anymore. He glanced at Zhu Manzhi and felt that she looked familiar, but Zhu Manzhi was wearing an ordinary coat and skirt from his daughter's house, so he didn't recognize her for a while.

When Xiao Ting heard "feeding tigers to people", his expression became really serious and he frowned and said:

"Feeding live people to tigers? Can't the Li family afford meat?"

Zhu Manzhi nodded angrily: "Young master, you will know once you go down."

When Xiao Ting saw that Xu Buling was covered in blood, he knew that there must be corpses everywhere down there, so he was willing to go down there.

After waiting for a while, the leader of the Royal Forest Army ran out with a pale face, bowed and almost felt sick, and waited for a long time before speaking:

"Sir, there is an underground palace below, and many gentry were paralyzed in fear. There should have been a conflict just now. There are five bodies on the ground, all incomplete, and one of them was torn apart by a tiger... The scene was horrific..."

Although Xiao Ting's brain circuit was a bit problematic, he was definitely not unable to distinguish right from wrong. Doing such a thing under the feet of the emperor would surely shock the court and the public if it were spread out. Xu Buling put such a big reputation in his hands, so he naturally had to take it.

After listening to the report of the Imperial Guards, Xiao Ting was furious and waved his sleeves:

"As expected by this young master, the Li family dared to do such a heinous act under the feet of the emperor. It is really lawless. Come on, seal Baima Manor for me."

Li Tianyu was killed, and there was no one in the manor to take the blame, so naturally no one came up to ask for leniency.

Gongsun Lu was afraid of being accused of condoning and shielding, so he could only denounce the Li family for being unscrupulous, and then he led a group of imperial guards to seal the entrance of the rockery tightly, not allowing anyone to come out.

There were also many princes and nobles in the underground palace, all of whom were from prominent families, but no matter how prominent they were, they were no more prominent than the Huainan Xiao family, and it was useless for anyone to come out to plead for mercy.

Xiao Ting was a legitimate son of a noble family after all. If such a big thing was exposed, he would be upright and have a good reputation. If he let one or two of them go out of selfishness, not only would he be delayed for the rest of his life, but his political enemies would also catch him and take the opportunity to pull his father off the position of prime minister. He certainly did not dare to be partial.

The imperial guards surrounded them like this, and when Chang'an City received the news, a large group of Tianziying Wolf Guards and the chief officer of the Dali Temple arrived. The matter of Baima Village could not be suppressed even if the emperor was present...
