The next day.

On the evening of the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Xiao Jingli and Jin Hu Jin Bao had nothing to do, so they practiced for an hour.

Bathing in the palace.

Xiao Jingli took a bath in a large pool made of white jade.

The best agarwood was in the air.

Several beauties were serving him in the pool.

In the warm jade, Xiao Jingli took a nap.

Half an hour later.

A maid walked in:"Your Highness, someone outside sent a message saying that someone had just set fire to the harem and was shot and killed by the imperial guards in time. Your Majesty was furious about this and reprimanded the Queen~"

"Got it."

Xiao Jingli was not angry when he was woken up from his nap.

Because it was his order to Luo Wang before, as long as he was not sleeping, he could wait until the next day to report the information that was not urgent, and if it was urgent, he could be woken up.

Although he was sleeping this time, Luo Wang didn't know and just thought he was taking a bath.

""Your Highness, Jinling City is becoming increasingly chaotic." A beauty said worriedly.

"Humph."

Xiao Jingli took her into his arms:"Don't worry, no matter how chaotic Jinling City is, the Ming Palace will not be chaotic."

On the side, the beauty who was wiping Xiao Jingli's body looked at him with contempt, thinking that he was too timid.

This beauty was good at martial arts. At a young age, she was already a second-rank master. She also made her way in the martial arts world. Later, she made a great reputation and entered the list of beauties in the martial arts world and won the title of fairy. After that, there was no more, and she was directly caught by Luowang.

Now that she has been in the palace for three years, she has gradually gotten used to it.

Although she felt that the other party was timid and a little disdainful, she did not speak, and still obediently wiped Xiao Jingli's body.

For three years, she knew very well that although her own prince was very good to them, he hated fire in the backyard and even quarreled in front of him.

The next day.

The third day of the New Year.

The Queen's Zhengyang Palace.

Dozens of eunuchs and palace maids knelt below

"Reporting to the queen, these servants have violated the palace rules in recent days. Two of them tried to put unclean things in the imperial kitchen, and several people's rooms were searched for things that could start a fire. Some hid wine, some stole money, and most of the rest were passing on information privately."

"These have been verified, please deal with them, Your Majesty."

The female official reported.

The Queen looked at the dozens of people below and said loudly:"Beat them all!"

In an instant, everyone in the palace looked at the Queen in horror.

And those kneeling below began to beg for mercy.

"Madam, spare my life."

"Madam, spare my life."

"Queen, please let me go."

"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

"I know I was wrong. My lady, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me, my lady!"

"I just hid the wine. I just hid the wine. This crime does not deserve the death penalty, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, I am innocent."

"Her Majesty!"

"Yes!"

More than a hundred eunuchs arrested all the people below.

The queen was very happy:"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures!" On the fifth day of the New Year.

In the evening. In the study of Prince Ming's mansion.

Xiao Jingli was practicing calligraphy

"Your Highness, Mei Changsu sent the leader of the Jiangzuo League, Zhen Ping, to injure all nine second- and third-rank masters of Tianquan Villa in the capital."

The Luowang personnel came in to report. (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Lin Shu really thinks he is a man of the world."

"These martial arts masters do not fear the imperial power, hate officials, and regard the Xuan Jingsi as their lackeys. Would it be a waste of food to keep them?"

"Order Tianluo to send out assassins and kill them all."

As he spoke, the words written by Xiao Jingli gradually revealed murderous intent, and each stroke was like a sword technique, extremely sharp.

"Yes sir!"[]

Ningguo Marquis Mansion.

Study.

Xie Yu and Zhuo Dingfeng were marveling at the Jiangzuo League's tactics when a subordinate ran in.

""How can you be so flustered?"

Xie Yu said dissatisfiedly

"Lord, something terrible has happened. When our people went to treat the nine people, they found that they were all dead."

"I personally went to each person's residence and found that they were all dead."

"Everyone was killed by a dagger cutting their throats, and there were no signs of a fight at the scene."

The subordinate reported in a panic

"What?"

Zhuo Dingfeng was shocked:"All nine people are dead. Even if they were injured, they were all second- and third-rank masters. They were all killed by having their throats cut!"

Zhuo Dingfeng staggered two steps. These martial arts masters were all friends of Tianquan Villa, his friends!

Xie Yu was also extremely shocked:"Who could it be? It can't be the Jiangzuo League. If it was the Jiangzuo League, they could have killed all these people in broad daylight. Why bother to kill people at this time?"

"But in such a big city like Jinling, who else has such means!"

"Who else has such a master?"

"There are countless powerful people under the command of King Ming, but it won't be him. King Ming never participates in the fight for the throne, so there is no need to kill these people."

"Apart from the Sun and Moon Escort Agency, Jiangzuo League, and Jinling, who else has this power!"

"Prince Yu?"

Zhuo Dingfeng looked at Xie Yu with anger in his eyes:"Brother Xie!"

Xie Yu took a deep breath and calmed down:"Don't worry, Brother Zhuo, no matter who is behind this, I will never let them go."

Zhuo Dingfeng nodded:"If you find out who the murderer is, let me know as soon as possible."

Xie Yu nodded:"Of course, Brother Zhuo will have to take revenge in person at that time."

"Brother Zhuo, in your opinion, when their hands are injured and they can't use swords, what kind of strength is needed to cut their throats with a knife?"

Zhuo Dingfeng calculated:"Brother Xie, you don't know, although these people all use swords, it's just a weapon for self-defense. They are also proficient in fist and palm skills. Although their hands are injured and they can't use them, there is one person who happens to be proficient in leg skills. This person is a second-grade lower strength."

"Anyone who can cut his throat with a knife must be a master of the first level!"

The martial arts world is too dangerous. No one can travel the world with only one skill.

Even most people in the martial arts world are proficient in the art of hidden weapons.

Among them, there are also many sword cultivators.

"A master of the first-grade realm!"

Xie Yu frowned and said,"There are so few masters of the first-grade realm in the world. The first-grade realm cannot be achieved by relying on resources, secrets, and hard work. Otherwise, Xia Jiang would not have been trapped in the upper second-grade realm for so many years."

"But now, a mysterious top-level master has appeared."

"This Jinling City is getting more and more chaotic."

Zhuo Dingfeng also calmed down a lot:"Yes, there has been no major events in the martial arts world recently, but this Jinling has so many masters. Brother Xie, I feel very bad."
