"When I heard about the troubles faced by the three families, I was shocked and inexplicable. How dare you do such evil things in the city? This thief must be a madman from the devil's way. If you have anything you want to ask, I will certainly tell you everything."
Huo Yunqi was a sensible person. After a simple test, he understood the current situation of the Huo family. He immediately lowered his attitude and showed enough sincerity.
Xu He could more or less guess what this person was thinking. After all, it was impossible for a householder who knew how to proceed and retreat to let a stupid man guard the door.
Because of this, he particularly disliked Huo Yunqi, but Xu He could distinguish between public and private matters and would not have any opinions on the Huo family based on personal likes and dislikes.
He asked the other party a few basic questions seriously, and Huo Yunqi answered fluently. After Xu He ordered his fellow detectives to record them, every move seemed to be a routine matter.
Huo Yunqi was already very smart, and he was not afraid of Xu He to investigate the affairs of the three families. However, what he did not expect was that when everything was about to end, Xu He was trying to find out.
"It's a very important matter. I want to lead people to search the Huo family. Mr. Huo doesn't mind, right?" Xu He's sudden suggestion caught Huo Yunqi off guard.
Huo Yunqi was stunned. Behind him, the steward of the Huo family said sternly: "Sir, this is inappropriate. Please think twice about searching. There are many female relatives in the Huo family's backyard. You are all foreigners. This is not in line with etiquette."
Another knight-errant sitting in the hall, also relying on his status as a benefactor to the Huo family and his strong martial arts, said: "The steward is right. Besides, the Huo family is not a suspect. The affairs of the three families are not ours."
It doesn’t matter, are you guys going too far?”
Xu He stood with his hands behind his back and said nothing. The police officer behind him sneered: "Whether the Huo family is innocent or not, we will make our own judgment after the search. If you are so evasive, is there something wrong in your heart?"
The steward's eyes widened and he said angrily, "You - you are so slanderous!"
"alright!"
Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall became tense again, Huo Yunqi came back to his senses and appeared again. He said in a deep voice: "You are also acting for official duties. Naturally, I dare not stop you."
"Master!"
"Master Huo!"
Everyone in the Huo family was either shocked or unwilling, but since Huo Yunqi had spoken, the matter was settled.
Xu He was not polite, and started searching with his people, allowing a group of police officers to do whatever they wanted in the house. Everyone in the Huo family looked a little angry, but also a little sad. If the Sword Making Villa still existed, why would they do this.
The Huo family is not big, much smaller than the three major families. Soon the detectives reported to Xu He: "Xu Tou, there is no problem in the east."
"Xutou, west..."
After a personal report, the last policeman who came back said something shocking: "Xu Tou! There is a strange place in the north, and the Huo family is guarding it to prevent entry."
Xu He's closed eyes suddenly opened, and a gleam of light came from them. His eyes fell on Huo Yunqi. This time, the other party did not compromise.
Huo Yunqi took a deep breath and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Excuse me, my lords, that place to the north is the newly opened sword-making furnace. It contains secrets that are not passed down by the Huo family. Your lords are not allowed to enter.
Please forgive me."
The Huo family's sword-making skills are well-known in the world, and since these secret skills are related to family inheritance, they must be taken seriously. There is nothing wrong with this statement.
The only problem is that Xu He is too serious.
"Mr. Huo, I can swear an oath that I will never reveal anything I see. Is that all right?" After Xu He's words, he seemed to have made up his mind to go down and take a look.
Huo Yunqi was a little angry: "Sir, even if you are an official of the imperial court, you are not allowed to make fun of my Huo family secrets. Please forgive me."
"In that case..."
Xu He sighed softly and seemed to loosen his attitude. But just when Huo Yunqi felt relieved, the catcher actually rushed out of the hall in one stride. The sudden change caught everyone by surprise.
The steward of the Huo family, who had been slow for a moment, finally came to his senses and shouted hurriedly: "Stop him quickly!"
"Let's see who dares!"
The Huo family took action, and the policemen were not to be outdone and drew their swords one after another.
It is worth mentioning that the martial arts skills of these policemen are actually mediocre. The reason why they are not afraid of the Huo family is that they know very little about the history and reputation of Zhujian Villa.
They have been working in the Eastern Capital for many years and have always been respected by others. It is indeed rare for the Huo family to draw their swords when they disagree with each other. This is similar to the Huo family.
The two sides fought hand to hand, and the detectives were outnumbered. In addition, the Huo family had many experts, so naturally they were defeated in the end. Fortunately, Huo Yunqi still had some sense. Before chasing him out, he shouted loudly to stop everyone from taking heavy blows.
Xu He and Huo Yunqi rushed north one after another. Along the way, several members of the Huo family noticed something was wrong and tried to stop them, but unfortunately they were powerless.
Xu He, the head catcher, is different from the other catchers under him. This man's kung fu is very good. The reason why he is not famous is because Dongdu has not produced a thief enough for him to show off his skills in many years.
Huo Yunqi was chasing after him. He was also frightened. He had never heard of such a master in Dongdu. Xu He's head-catching martial arts skills were probably not inferior to his.
Although Huo Yunqi behind him had his sword unsheathed, he still hesitated to take action. Until the door of the sword furnace was right in front of him, he finally stopped hesitating and slashed out a sword light through gritted teeth.
Behind him, the sword roared into the sky. Xu He immediately drew his sword to fight against it. The plain sword whipped up a burst of flying sand, and the sharp sword light suddenly flashed in the wind and sand. The sword energy almost collapsed at the first touch.
Huo Yunqi was shaken by the wind and waves. He stepped back several feet and staggered before he regained his balance. He said in confusion: "What a strong martial arts...not good!"
While he was talking, Xu He had already kicked away the guard blocking the way, and even kicked the door of the sword furnace open. Huo Yunqi secretly resented it.
It's not that he is hiding anything, it's just that the sword furnace is related to the Huo family's sword-making method, and it is an important place as much as the family ancestral hall. Being intruded like this, the loss of skills may be secondary, but mainly embarrassing.
But at this time, he never expected that there was actually a person hiding in this sword furnace.
After Xu He broke through the door, the first thing he saw was the Moon Shadow Sword exuding terrifying power in the sword furnace. The second was the sneaky man on the side of the sword furnace. He was wearing a black robe and covered his face with a hood. No matter how you looked at it, it was strange.
He doesn't look like an upright person.
This person is none other than Qian Xiaoxiao, the saint of the Xuantian Sect who committed crimes against three families.
She came to Dongdu and after a little inquiry, she learned about the major events that happened today. The story of three masters from the Huo family besieging a Qingcheng sect disciple had been made into a new joke in a street teahouse.
Qian Xiaoxiao has never neglected matters related to Tianquan. The death of Xiaoyao Sect Yue Lifeng gave her a sense of relief. The appearance of the three families in her eyes at this time was undoubtedly a blessing to the emerging beauty.
The daylight was once again tainted with a layer of haze.
Regardless of whether she admits it or not, Qian Xiaoxiao has indeed become deeply possessed by practicing the photo-taking skill. In her eyes, killing someone is no longer an unacceptable thing. Even after all the experiences, she feels that everything is normal.
So she kept walking, quickly killed the three families, and fled to the Huo family. She didn't think much about it. She just found out that Tianquan was living in the Huo family, so she took advantage of the opportunity and settled here.
.
There are not many places in the Huo family to hide people, and speaking of it, this sword furnace seems to be the only place. Everyone from Wen Chenyang to Huangfu Xiaoyuan, and even before that, Gongsun Huan, seems to have chosen this place.
But now, Xu He discovered Qian Xiaoxiao, and Huo Yunqi, who was a step slower, also discovered Qian Xiaoxiao, and the atmosphere in the sword furnace gradually became weird.
