Chapter six hundred and forty sixth emergency retreat
Li Xiuyuan looked at the group of people who rushed into his residence.
There are all kinds of weird people, none of them are normal. The one who takes the lead is more normal. He is still a normal person. Others either look weird or dress weird, even women and children.
There are all of them, I really don’t know what they are here for.
Probably not an assassin.
Li Xiuyuan immediately made this judgment.
If they were assassins, there wouldn't be so many people sneaking in, and they wouldn't be like this. They don't look like assassins.
"How many of you are here to see me?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
The leader, Mr. Cui, said solemnly: "We are the chiefs of the six gates of the capital. We are visiting your mansion tonight to find out about the demon in Zui Feng Tower. If you offend me in any way, please don't blame me. We are the same."
Act as ordered."
"So that's it. In that case, you're not looking for me, you're looking for it."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the white lotus in the water tank on the side: "But Miss Lotus was arrested by me. Do the detectives have any opinions?"
"Of course not. Mr. Li can eliminate harm for the people. It is a blessing for the people to catch demons and eliminate ghosts. How can we have any objections from the six gates? It's just that the chief arrester has himself blamed himself for monitoring all dangerous people in the capital. Mr. Li can
Having the ability to capture a spirit that has practiced Taoism for eight hundred years shows that he is an extraordinary person.
The Chief Constable will not tell any secrets tomorrow, this night visit to your house is just to find out whether Young Master Li is a human or a ghost?"
Chief Cui also bluntly said: "We work for the emperor and will definitely not allow another big demon to go north to Beijing and disturb the public order in the capital."
"So, does this head catcher think I'm a monster?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
"Although it's not the case, Mr. Li, it's unsettling that you have such abilities." Mr. Cui said, "So I took the liberty to come and investigate."
"I can understand this, but why don't you just knock on the door and visit openly? Why do you have to climb over the wall to commit robberies? Don't you know that your behavior can easily cause misunderstandings? If it weren't for me,
I woke up in time. How long do you think the people who sneaked in today can survive?
One?" Li Xiuyuan glanced at them and said.
At this moment, Mr. Cui also looked at the giant man next to him with some lingering fear. If the fighting just continued, he would probably be left here.
Although I can imagine that a small escort agency could be so hidden.
"Let's take you people away. It's for official business, so I won't say it's wrong to pursue you. As for your people being injured, it's because of your incompetence and you can't blame others. My guards are also loyal to their duties, and there's nothing wrong with them.
It's my fault." Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and said, "It's already late at night, and I also
It’s time to take a rest, but I made it clear in advance that this is the only time. If you sneak in secretly next time, I won’t let the guards stop."
"Thank you." Mr. Cui said, clasping his fists and preparing to lead people away.
It's already embarrassing to be defeated. If you don't get better, just give up. I'm afraid you will suffer a loss if the trouble continues.
"But this lotus spirit is a witch from the Wutong Sect. We, the Six Sects, have to arrest and bring it to justice. Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain the demon trouble in Zui Feng Tower. I hope this young master can make it easier." Suddenly, the lame old man appeared.
I mentioned this sentence out of the blue.
Li Xiuyuan frowned and said nothing.
Chief Cui's face moved slightly, and he wanted to stop his subordinates, but it was already too late.
"interesting."
Li Xiuyuan laughed: "As the chief arresters of the imperial court, you usually do nothing to allow Yaoxie to collect and cultivate. Now that I, an outsider, have captured Yaoxie, you are coming to ask me for it. Don't you think your thoughts are a bit off?
Is it too much? You think you are good at it,
Or do you really think that I, Mr. Li, will not dare to kill you today?"
"Looking at you, you are also a practitioner of magic. Unexpectedly, you don't have any of the virtues of a practitioner."
"If you don't mind forming a karmic relationship with me, that's fine. The lotus girl is right there. Just take her away. If you can take her away, this lotus will be given to you."
After speaking, he waved his hand.
If he really dared to take away this lotus, Li Xiuyuan would immediately issue an order to kill him today.
It's very simple. Who knows if these detectives have any connection with the Wutong Sect? It's possible that they are from the Wutong Sect. This time they just found an excuse to leave with the Lotus Essence.
If so, how could he endure it.
You must know that this lotus essence is an important means for him to attract the Wutong Sect, and it is a very important bait. If the bait is gone, how will he catch the big fish of the Wutong Sect?
The lame old man smiled coquettishly: "You can capture the lotus essence. I know you are a powerful old man. But the old man at the court also has to deal with things, doesn't he? The spread of the demon trouble will definitely affect the security of the capital."
"That makes sense, but I think there are other goblins hiding in this capital. How about I find a thousand-year-old demon for you today and let you capture him as a scapegoat? I think a thousand-year-old demon will have a far greater impact on public security.
Far better than lotus essence, wouldn’t this be a greater achievement?”
Li Xiuyuan asked calmly.
This statement stopped the lame old man from questioning.
Just hearing the name of the Thousand-Year-Old Demon makes people tremble. Catching such a demon is no different than sending someone to death. The Taoism of the Thousand-Year-Old Demon can compete with the ghosts and gods in the sky. How can they be conquered?
"Don't you dare to catch the thousand-year-old monster? Haha, I see that you are old and an old man. I respect you three points. Don't push yourself too far. I will have my own arrangements for the monster I catch. Don't be greedy, otherwise a big disaster will happen.
It will be too late.”
Li Xiuyuan said with a cold face.
The lame old man stopped talking, and he stopped coveting lotus essence.
Little did he know that by withdrawing his greed, he saved his own life.
"And don't make a fuss about my identity. You sneaked into my house without investigating me at all. I was lenient enough by not killing you as assassins. If you really investigated me,
I won’t come today.”
"Whatever you want to know, see for yourself."
Li Xiuyuan didn't say much, took out a roll of yellow cloth from the Ghost King's cloth bag, and threw it to Chief Cui.
"Um?"
Mr. Cui's eyes moved and he immediately took it into his hand: "This thing is"
"You are an errand in the capital, don't you care about this?" Li Xiuyuan said.
Mr. Cui felt the silky smoothness of the satin in his hand. Looking at its color, it should be something only owned by the royal family, and the style looked very much like an imperial edict.
With a bit of surprise, he opened the scroll and took a look, and his eyes immediately shrank.
It is truly an imperial edict.
And the more Mr. Cui read, the more surprised he became, especially when a person's name was clearly written in red on the imperial edict: Li Xiuyuan.
Isn’t it the person in front of me?
Li Xiuyuan said: "How? Mr. Cui still has any doubts about my identity?"
After reading the imperial edict, Chief Cui's expression changed immediately. He immediately became serious, held the edict in both hands and knelt down on one knee: "Cui Wei, a humble official, pays homage to Mr. Li. I have offended a lot in my humble position just now. Please forgive me, Mr. Li."
What?
Master Li.
The few familiar people behind who were watching the surroundings and preparing for a fight were immediately startled when they saw Chief Cui actually kneeling down to pay homage to him, although they looked at the rich young man in shock.
This man was actually an official of the imperial court, and his rank was higher than that of Chief Cui, so he actually had to kneel down to salute.
"official?"
The lame old man was also frightened and trembled.
What he was afraid of was not Li Xiuyuan's status as an official, but that such a man of moral integrity actually became an official. This was incredible.
With such ability and being an official of the imperial court, this kind of person must have a big plan. If he bumps into it and affects other people's plans, wouldn't it be easy to kill him as a little head catcher by casually racking up some charges?
"I came to Beijing this time to report on my work. I didn't want to cause trouble. It's just that some things came to me and I had to deal with them. From today on, I hope that you six doors will not interfere with what I do in Beijing. Of course, you have to.
I don’t mind either. It’s a good thing that you are loyal to the court, but there are some things you
We can't control the six doors, and rushing in hastily will only cost your own life."
Li Xiuyuan walked over and took the imperial edict, waved his hand and said, "That's it for now, you all can step back."
"Thank you, sir, for reminding me. I am resigning from my humble position."
Cold sweat broke out on Cui Wei's forehead. He gave a fist and immediately led the people with a respectful look, and left with the injured as if fleeing.
