Chapter 118 The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry
"It's been dilly-dallying for so long, has anyone solved it?"
In a courtyard in Xuerong City, Li Feng stood with his back to him, with a servant in gray kneeling behind him.
"Young Master, the younger one originally planned to kill him in the mansion today, but he never thought that someone would come out to meddle in his own business and take him away!" The servant looked at Li Feng's back cautiously.
Last night, Li Feng gave him an order to find a way to kill Li Qiang. Although he didn't know the reason, to him, Li Qiang was no different from a servant. Even if he was killed, he didn't need to bear any responsibility. After all,
Even the Lord of the City hates this son! I'm afraid he will only be happy when he dies, not sad!
He had dealt with people unknowingly in the house before, so this time he was very familiar with it. He planned to injure the person first, and then take him to the river to drown him at night under the pretext of taking him to see a doctor.
But now, he has been taken away by Xia Jin, and his mission has failed!
Li Feng turned around and walked over, picked up the servant, and shouted: "You can't handle anyone, so what's the use of you!"
"Young master, please calm down. It's... the city lord's guest. I can't stop the person Master Xia takes away!" the servant hurriedly explained.
"Master Xia..."
Li Feng let go of his hand, his face gloomy!
The servant looked at Li Feng cautiously as if he had been amnesty, and continued: "Young Master, what should we do now? Do you want to kill this person?"
Li Feng waved his hand to signal him to go out. The servant thought that he had passed this stage, so he breathed a sigh of relief and walked out. As soon as he reached the door, the guard raised his knife and cut off his neck. His head fell to the ground, and his body
He convulsed and fell down!
The steps were stained red with blood, and the servants immediately came over with buckets to clean it up. After a while, everything was as usual, as if the bloody scene just now had never happened.
Zhou Zheng, Li Feng's confidant, handed a letter to Li Feng.
"Young Master, this is the letter I just received! Please read it!"
Li Feng opened the envelope, and there was only one line written inside: 'Kill the Qiang and silence them!'
"The capital city is eager to kill the Qiang. It seems that someone is already investigating our move to the east gate!" Zhou Zheng analyzed.
Li Feng looked at the letter in his hand, "Don't you think it's a little strange that this Master Xia is here? There are so many masters in the City Lord's Mansion who didn't choose, but they chose a loser! There must be something wrong here!"
"The eldest young master suspects that Master Xia is the person sent by the imperial court to investigate the death of Dongmen Qian?" Zhou Zheng looked at him.
Li Feng narrowed his eyes, "Zhang Hengcheng didn't do enough to expose him. He failed to kill people, but instead left Li Jia's hidden weapon behind!"
Zhou Zheng suddenly remembered another thing, "Yesterday someone came over from the mine and said that Zhang Heng was taken away. I thought that it was him who owed wine money outside, so I didn't care. If it was really someone sent by the imperial court.
Come on, it’s definitely not an accident that Zhang Heng was arrested!”
"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier!" Li Feng paced back and forth.
"Quickly, go notify the cavalry! They must not be allowed to return to the city lord's palace!"
Zhou Zheng nodded and left quickly.
At the same time, Xia Jin, Li Qiang, and Qi Tianxiao were planning to return to the city lord's mansion. Before they reached the gate of the mansion, suddenly a group of people in guard uniforms walked by from another road.
Li Qiang took Xia Jin and hid away from them.
"Master, be careful, they are from Li Feng!" Li Qiang reminded.
Seeing Li Qiang's pale face, Xia Jin asked, "Who are they?"
Li Qiang looked at Xia Jin and said seriously: "It's eldest brother's bodyguard, called the Iron Cavalry. Most of the time, they patrol outside the city and rarely come to the city. Once they enter the city, they will definitely come to arrest them."
Prisoner!"
"What does it have to do with us if they arrest people?" Qi Tianxiao asked in confusion.
Li Qiang motioned him to look at the notice on the left. Qi Tianxiao looked over there and saw that it was Xia Jin's portrait that was posted on it!
Xia Jin sneered and said: "It seems that Li Feng already knew about Zhang Heng's arrest. He probably already had a guess, so he wanted to kill me to silence me!"
"What should we do now! Brother Ziyi is still in the city lord's palace!" Qi Tianxiao said.
"Let's go back to the city lord's mansion!" Xia Jin walked out of the alley.
"He mobilized the cavalry to post notices in the city just because he didn't want us to enter the city lord's palace, so he went in anyway. I want to see how he gives me an explanation!"
Xia Jin jumped onto the roof, bypassed the patrolling cavalry, and entered the city lord's mansion.
It was already dusk now, and candles began to be lit in the main courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion.
A family banquet is being held in the main courtyard of the city lord's palace. Li Xiaotian likes to be lively, so every dinner must be eaten together as a family. This has been the rule of Li's family for many years, and it continues to this day, and Li Xiaotian has always abided by it.
Everyone is here, but the table in the corner is empty.
That is the seat where Master Ninth Master Li Qiang sits. Although he does not want to see him, the rules set by the ancestors cannot be broken, so he is allowed to come over every day.
"Why don't you see Lao Jiu?" Li Xiaotian asked.
The housekeeper bowed his back and replied: "Master Ninth is playful, maybe he went out to play!"
"No rules!" Li Xiaotian said with a cold face.
Sitting next to him, Aunt Thirteen, who was being pampered, stretched out her hand to help her calm down, and said softly: "Master, don't let your anger break your body!"
"I already told you to remove him from the family!" the eldest lady said calmly.
Li Xiaotian nodded, "Madam said yes, I will think about it!"
The eldest lady gave Li Xiaotian a piece of food and said, "My master has favored Thirteen these past few days. You must be exhausted. Please replenish your body more!"
Li Xiaotian coughed lightly, let go of the Thirteenth Concubine's hand, and turned to hold the Eldest Madam's hand.
"Madam is still considerate, come to madam's room tonight!"
At this moment, an announcement came from outside.
"Lord City Lord, Master Xia is here!"
Li Feng, who was eating, suddenly raised his head, turned to look in the direction of the door, and saw Xia Jin standing in front of the door.
No one can catch those useless things, yet they let him into the house!
His eyes were scarlet and his hands were clenched into fists.
"Come here, give Master Xia a table, chairs, bowls and chopsticks!" Li Xiaotian said enthusiastically when he saw him coming.
Xia Jin cupped her hands and said, "I'm not here to eat! There's something I don't understand, so I wanted to ask the city lord."
"Oh? Is there anything Master Xia doesn't know about?" Li Xiaotian was confused.
Xia Jin took a few steps closer, took out a piece of paper from her bag, spread out the rolled paper, held it in her hand, and asked:
"I don't know what I have done, and your city actually issued a wanted order to arrest me!"
Li Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses. He walked down, took the wanted notice from Xia Jin's hand, and turned to look at Li Feng.
