Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team

Chapter 698: Great Victory in the Western Regions

Less than a cup of tea had passed between the three of them when they heard a commotion downstairs.

Li Cunxi and Wu Sansi looked down and found a group of servants dressed the same.

Dozens of people were noisily blocking the entrance of the restaurant, not allowing anyone to leave. The restaurant owner wanted to go out and say a few words to ask these people not to vent their anger on his restaurant, but in the blink of an eye he was pinned to the ground and beaten.

A ferocious-looking middle-aged man holding a knife stood in front, and next to him was the servant who had just been released.

The middle-aged man asked angrily:

"Chen Wu!"

"The man who killed our servant is up there?"

The servant trembled and pointed to the window on the second floor.

"Guard Luo, they're up there. Those people are brutal and violent. They beat seven of our brothers to death without a word."

"If I hadn't been quick-witted and begged for mercy in time, pretending to be their grandson, I would have died up there!"

The middle-aged man known as Guard Luo clenched the knife in his hand and pointed to the second floor.

"Hmph, brothers, charge forward and let them know who has the final say in Luzhou!"

The servants broke into the restaurant as if it were their own place, smashed the first floor to pieces, and then went straight to the stairs.

Sitting by the window on the second floor, Hu Jinghui put down his chopsticks, slowly stood up, and cast his eyes on the Youlan sword beside Li Cunxi.

Li Cunxi raised his hand and handed over the Youlan Sword, then continued to eat with his head down.

He was indeed hungry, and in order to hurry on his way, he didn't eat much along the way.

Now is the time to eat!

"Don't let anyone die on the second floor. I faint at the sight of blood."

Wu Sansi closed his eyes, as if he was really fainting from blood.

Li Cunxi raised his head slightly and said:

"Also, leave two alive."

"That guy named Chen San and that guard Luo must stay with me."

"I need to ask something."

Hu Jinghui drew out the Youlan Sword and turned to leave.

Soon, he saw the servant who was rushing in front and was about to step onto the second floor.

He thrust out the orchid sword in his hand, and the servant was instantly stabbed in the throat.

He raised his leg and kicked hard, and the servant's body flew backwards, hitting several servants who wanted to come up.

Hu Jinghui walked down confidently, and with the orchid sword in his hand, he killed several servants who fell on the stairs.

These servants were used to being domineering and arrogant, and had never seen such a scene of murder. They were so scared that they retreated one after another.

Several servants who had climbed half of the stairs walked down as if they had seen the god of plague.

Hu Jinghui noticed the fear on the faces of these cowards and couldn't help but laugh mockingly.

"Aren't you trying to show me who's in charge of Luzhou? How come you don't even have the guts to kill me?"

"Come on, you bunch of useless things."

The servants looked at each other, but still didn't dare to go forward.

What a joke! This man kills people like killing chickens. He only needs one sword to kill anyone. If they rush up now, they will be seeking their own death.

Guard Luo behind saw Hu Jinghui walking forward with a lot of distance between him and the stairs. He suddenly had an idea and pointed.

"Surround him and kill him together!"

The servants felt a sense of responsibility and immediately obeyed the order. They surrounded Hu Jinghui and each of them held a stick, ready to beat Hu Jinghui to death.

At the door of the restaurant, the owner, who was beaten black and blue, opened his eyes with great effort. After seeing the situation on the first floor of the restaurant, he was filled with hatred.

"Hasn't anyone from the government come yet?"

"I reported it to the police the first time they came, why haven't they come yet?"

A servant came up to the shopkeeper and whispered:

"Have you forgotten that the government and these big families are in cahoots with each other, so how could they care about the lives of ordinary people like us?"

"It's most normal for them not to come."

The shopkeeper was furious:

"fart!"

"Don't you know that the current emperor sent the Prince of Qin and the Prince of Liang to Luzhou to investigate the case? As soon as the Prince of Qin arrived in Shangdang, he killed all the corrupt officials."

"The Prince of Qin and the Prince of Liang are currently in charge of the Governor's Office!"

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin has a very good reputation. He will not allow these big families to do evil."

"Don't worry about me. Go and report to the authorities. Just say there's a fight here and people have died. Please send someone to suppress it."

The servant was unable to refute, so he had to abandon the shopkeeper and head towards the governor's mansion alone.

In the restaurant, Hu Jinghui, who was surrounded on all sides, shook the Youlan sword in his hand, and his figure flashed like a ghost.

In an instant, Hu Jinghui returned to his original position, but the seven or eight servants closest to him had their necks cut.

"Come on, idiots! You've been doing evil things in Luzhou. Someone has to teach you the rules."

Hu Jinghui took a step forward, swung the Youlan sword in his hand, and the heads of the two servants flew into the sky.

……

At this moment, in Luoyang City, the tightly closed North Gate was opened, and a man holding the Inner Guards' badge rode in.

After crossing two streets, the man was discovered by a group of patrolling soldiers.

The squad leader held his sword in his hand and shouted:

"Who are you? Don't you know the rules of the capital?"

"Dare to ride your horse during curfew? It's a capital offense!"

The man on horseback shouted:

"I am the Demon Spirit Leader of the Inner Guard Palace!"

"A great victory in the Western Regions, I'm sending urgent reports to the capital. Do you dare to stop me?"

His tone couldn't hide his joy as he bypassed everyone and headed straight for the imperial city.

The team leader was stunned for a moment and muttered:

"A great victory in the Western Regions?"

"I haven't heard of any war in the Western Regions."

However, since the other party had already introduced himself, he dared not be rude.

If the person who stopped the leader of the Inner Guard Department from doing his work was fake, it would be fine. But if he was real, he would be sent to the Inner Guard Department by his superiors tomorrow.

The demon spirit rode a fast horse to the outside of Taichu Palace, glanced at Lu Tong, the general of the Left Jinwu Guard who was on duty tonight, dismounted, and handed over his badge.

"Has your majesty rested?"

"No, I'm still reviewing the documents."

Lu Tong only led his subordinates to inspect here. After seeing the huge gold-plated characters on the badge, he returned the badge.

"A great victory in the Western Regions?"

Lu Tong raised his eyebrows and guessed.

The demon spirit nodded heavily, his excitement once again evident.

"Okay!"

"Okay!"

"Let's go. I'll take the Demon Spirit Pavilion leader to see the Emperor."

The news of the great victory in the Western Regions was undoubtedly exciting. Even a general like Lu Tong, who was in charge of defense, felt proud of it.

At this moment, he wished he could fly into Ganlu Palace immediately and tell the emperor the news.

After bypassing several palace walls, they finally entered Ganlu Palace. General Gao Huan of the Qianniu Guard, who was on duty outside, loyally kept watch for the emperor.

"General Gao, the leader of the Demonic Spirit Pavilion has an important matter to present to the Emperor!"

Lu Tong excitedly stepped forward and spoke to Gao Huan.

Gao Huan glanced at Lu Tong, and his gaze gradually shifted to Mo Ling's face.

"I think it was a great victory in the Western Regions."

"Wait here for a moment. I will go in and report to His Majesty."

Two months ago, all the officials in the court knew that Li Cunxi was heading north after eliminating the Yangzhou Iron Hand Group.

Later, Li Cunxi arrived in Liangzhou and wiped out the Black Society that had been entrenched in Liangzhou for a long time.

Later, everyone in the court knew that the remnants of the Black Society were colluding with foreign tribes in the Western Regions.

And the evil spirit was in the team that Wang Xiaojie was leaving.
