Chapter Thirty-Six Investigating Leng Xiao

Chapter 36 Investigating Leng Xiao

"Tsk, tsk." Leng Xiao looked at Ran Yunpo with contempt and said jokingly: "It's really an old-fashioned warning. If I remember correctly, I should have given your court a reminder before."

Not planning to talk to Ran Yunpo anymore, Leng Xiao hugged Xi Honglei and turned around to walk out the door.

Easily dodging Ran Yunpo's attack, Leng Xiao slightly distanced himself from Ran Yunpo and asked, "Do you want to kill her too?"

After going around in circles, Leng Xiao had no intention of fighting with Ran Yunpo. After leaving the room, Leng Xiao speeded up his movements instantly and passed by the oncoming Bai Moyue.

"I'll leave this place to you." Leng Xiao left a few words softly, and then left without looking back.

Ran Yunpo was blocked by Bai Moyue. He looked at Leng Xiao's leaving figure angrily and said murderously. "Get out of the way!"

"Why is the prince so angry?" Bai Moyue talked to Ran Yunpo in a surprised tone, making Ran Yunpo's already unhappy mood even worse. "If you are worried about Honglei's injury, please feel free to worry, prince.

Leng Xiao will help her cure it!"

"What does Xi Honglei have to do with you?!" Ran Yunpo asked in a cold tone once again mentioning Leng Xiao and Xi Honglei.

"You need to investigate this yourself, Prince. Anyway, hundreds of members of the Zhang family are all dead. This should be an obvious reminder, right?" Bai Moyue said to Ran Yunpo angrily, "That's right.

, there are still a few people I haven’t killed, and they are throwing them at the gate. If the prince has time, remember to check their relationship with Shuiluyan and Zijuan. As for Honglei, we will send her away after the wound is treated.

I’m going back. I’ve finished what I need to say, Prince Chu. I’ll see you later.”

Bai Moyue left some words that made Ran Yunpo uneasy. After a few moves with Ran Yunpo, he disappeared from Ran Yunpo's sight.

Standing alone, Ran Yunpo glanced at the corpses on the ground with cold eyes.

The surroundings became quiet, and Ran Yunpo quickly returned to his previous calmness. Leng Xiao's actions and the woman's words made Ran Yunpo understand that Xi Honglei's life was not in danger. However, what Ran Yunpo couldn't figure out was, what exactly did Leng Xiao do?

What do you like about Xi Honglei?

Leng Xiao's actions today were obviously planned in advance. After he found out that Xi Honglei was caught here, he deliberately sent someone to inform him. He wanted to meet him, and he wanted to know his feelings for Xi Honglei.

Tears is interested. So, if he does this, does it mean that he is declaring war on himself?

The few masked people Ran Yunpo saw at the beginning were obviously Leng Xiao's subordinates. Although Ran Yunpo did not observe them carefully, he knew very well that the martial arts of those people were definitely not low. And Leng Xiao and that woman

, but also to be above oneself...

Ran Yunpo walked towards the exit of the village calmly. When he reached the gate, he finally understood what the woman meant by "throwing it at the gate."

The men in front of them were all tied up. Their mouths were stuffed with things, and they were strangled with cloth so that they could not make a sound.

Ran Yunpo took two steps forward and untied a person's mouth. Seeing that person spitting out the things in his mouth with a painful expression, Ran Yunpo took a closer look and couldn't help being stunned. The things in their mouths turned out to be stones!

Turning his attention from the stones to the faces of several people, Ran Yunpo sighed softly, grabbed the hair of the man who had removed the bandage from his mouth, and asked: "Who made you hold red tears?"

"I, I don't know either..." The man sitting on the ground answered Ran Yunpo's question with a trembling voice, and then looked at the other man next to him as if he was about to cry.

Through his every move, Ran Yunpo understood that the man was their leader. Without asking any more questions, Ran Yunpo took several people back to the Prince of Chu's Mansion in a carriage.

"Third brother, you are back." After seeing Ran Yunpo, Ran Yunhao stood up quickly and said, "I have something to tell you."

"Tell me." Ran Yunpo sat down on the chair tiredly, stretched out his hand to pour himself a cup of tea. But before the tea was put to his mouth, he heard Ran Yunhao say the news that Shui Rongyan was dead.

The teacup instantly fell to the ground and smashed to pieces. Ran Yunpo stood up from the table with a blue face. He looked at Ran Yunhao with heavy breathing and asked: "Where is the body? Have you found it?"

"It's been brought back." Ran Yunhao carefully looked at Ran Yunpo's expression and said cautiously: "I'll take you there."

Taking Ran Yunpo to the place where the water-soluble smoke corpse was stored, Ran Yunhao left the room without saying anything else, leaving Ran Yunpo alone there.

Walking into the yard, Ran Yunhao and Ran Yunchou looked at each other silently. After a while, Ran Yunchou asked in a low voice: "Have you told the third brother Shui Rongyan the cause of death?"

"I didn't say it. He will definitely find it out himself." Ran Yunhao glanced at the room where Ran Yunpo was with a gloomy expression, and sighed secretly. How Shui Rongyan died and who killed him, none of these can be compared with Ran Yunpo now.

Reveal a little bit.

Ran Yunhao recalled the news he had just received. According to passers-by who had witnessed the whole incident, it was none other than Xi Honglei who killed Shui Rongyan. However, they did not know where Xi Honglei was.

I know. Ran Yunhao sent people to Xi Mansion, but the people there said that Xi Honglei never went back at all. And Ran Yunshang also went back to the palace directly and only asked someone to tell them. The whole thing seemed more and more serious.

Things were getting weirder and weirder, so Ran Yunhao had to act cautiously.

Ran Yunpo stayed in the room until dark, and then walked out slowly. Looking at Ran Yunhao and Ran Yunchou in front of him, Ran Yunpo said expressionlessly: "The people who brought me back are still there.

Zijuan is locked up separately, and no one else is allowed to see them without my permission. Also, from now on, do your best to investigate the matter about Leng Xiao for me. I hope to see detailed information about him."

After saying that, Ran Yunpo walked towards the door of Prince Chu's Mansion without looking back.

"Investigating Leng Xiao?" Ran Yunchou repeated Ran Yunpo's words, looked at Ran Yunhao doubtfully, and said, "Is this related to Leng Xiao?"

"I'm not sure if it has anything to do with Leng Xiao. It's just that Xi Honglei has something to do with it. Leng Xiao is not an easy character to deal with. If he is really involved, we have to be careful."

After making arrangements for Zijuan and the men, Ran Yunhao and Ran Yunchou returned to the palace side by side. But as soon as they entered the imperial city gate, they saw Ran Yunshang waiting anxiously.

"You are finally back." Ran Yunshang blocked the way of Ran Yunhao and Ran Yunchou, "Where is Honglei? Why haven't you come back yet?"

Ran Yunhao and Ran Yunchou glanced at each other, and then turned their attention to Ran Yunshang. Ran Yunhao took a step forward, looked at Ran Yunshang intently, and asked: "Why did you go back to the palace by yourself today?"

"Honglei said that she was going back to Xi Mansion to chat with her mother and discuss matters with her father. I felt bored and went back to the palace by myself. Who knew that as soon as I came back, my father called me to accompany him?

It's been a whole afternoon. I just returned to the palace and found out that Honglei hasn't come back yet. It's so late and my father doesn't allow me to leave the palace, so I can only wait here for you to come back."

After Ran Yunshang finished speaking with an anxious expression, looking at the two people who were not prepared to respond to her, she stamped her feet angrily and asked loudly: "What happened?!"

"You'll know tomorrow." Ran Yunhao sighed helplessly, "Go back and rest, she should be fine."

"Should everything be fine?" Ran Yunshang frowned and looked at Ran Yunhao, looking at the backs of Ran Yunhao and Ran Yunchou walking away, her eyes flickering uncertainly.

Ran Yunshang raised her lips without any trace, and after Ran Yunhao and Ran Yunchou left, she also returned to her bedroom...

"Are you awake?" Leng Xiao looked at Xi Honglei who slowly opened his eyes on the bed. He stood up from the chair, walked to the bed, and reached out to touch Xi Honglei's forehead. After making sure that Xi Honglei's high fever had gone away,

After retreating, Leng Xiao whispered: "You killed Shui Rongyan."

Xi Honglei lay on the bed with great pain all over, and opened his eyes drowsily. But the first words he heard after waking up made Xi Honglei deceive himself into wanting to faint again.

"I know, you don't need to remind me." Xi Honglei had difficulty in moving and wanted to sit up, but after she moved her body, Leng Xiao didn't need to say anything, and just lay there again, motionless.

The body under the thin quilt was not wearing anything, which made Xi Honglei wake up in an instant.

After a quick look around the room, Xi Honglei shook her lips and asked, "Where is this?"

"My home."

"Do you still have a home?" Leng Xiao's answer made Xi Honglei raise his eyebrows in surprise. "I thought you would only run to other people's homes and not have your own place to live."

"If you want to appear naked in front of Ran Yunpo, I don't mind if you continue talking." Leng Xiao sat back on the chair and looked at Xi Honglei with deep eyes. Looking at Xi Honglei, he closed his mouth unconvinced.

Leng Xiao smiled silently and continued: "Ran Yunpo already knows about Shui Rongyan's death. As for you, the murderer, you will be found out sooner or later. What do you want to do now?"

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and it will be straight when the boat reaches the bridge. Anyway, I will kill them all, and I can't let the water-soluble smoke come back to life. At the worst, one life is worth one, and just let Ran Yunpo kill him." Xi Hong

Tears answered Leng Xiao's question with a shaky attitude. "This woman, Shui Rongyan, is not a good man, so she would know such a gang of bandits."

Thinking of those bandits who wanted to invade her like hungry wolves, Xi Honglei involuntarily tightened the quilt around her body.

Leng Xiao listened to Xi Honglei's words silently. After noticing Xi Honglei's actions, Leng Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, then smiled softly and said, "You are really open-minded."
