Pagoda Immortality

After a while.

A guard quickly came to Lu Li's bedroom to report. Although Lu Li expected it, he did not expect that the city lord would come to call him that night.

After pondering for a moment, he followed the Ji Mansion guards out of the house as if he hadn't woken up.

When the guards of the City Lord's Mansion outside saw Lu Li, they did not hesitate and bowed respectfully. The leader said again: "Mr. Ji, the Lord of the City has asked you to come over."

Lu Li looked at everyone with pretense of confusion, "Why is there such a big movement in the middle of the night? Is something serious going on?"

The guard captain came forward and whispered in his ear: "The commander-in-chief and several guard brothers were killed, and now the palace master is furious."

Lu Li looked surprised: "When did it happen!"

The captain of the guard said solemnly: "Not long ago, sir, please go over first. We have to go to inform Mr. Qiao and the others that we will not accompany you."

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

Lu Li nodded, got up and rushed towards the city lord's palace.

On the way, they met several groups of guards coming out of the city lord's palace. They were walking in a hurry and looked very anxious. However, when they saw Lu Li, they all stopped to say hello.

It seems that the hierarchical status here is quite strict.

Lu Li simply responded and continued walking towards the City Lord's Mansion with his head buried in a cough. Tonight, the city lord's mansion is brightly lit, and the square is heavily guarded.

However, Lu Li had a high status. Although some strangers came forward to check him along the way, after seeing the order from the court, they all respectfully confessed and let him go.

In Zhenhong Hall, two masters stood on left and right outside the hall, very alert.

In the hall, Pang Zheng sat in the main seat with a gloomy face and said nothing.

Lu Li came to the door of the palace. Without waiting for the two guards to speak, he raised the curtain in his hand and then coughed lightly as if he was seriously ill as he walked into the hall.

It is said that Pang Zheng not only has extraordinary literary talent, but also has reached the seventh level of martial arts. He is known as the best master in Andu. Although Lu Li is not afraid, he does not want to fall out with him.

"Mr. Ji is here!"

Seeing Lu Li come in, Pang Zheng's gloomy face finally softened a little. He stretched out his hand and said, "Quickly, please take a seat."

"Ahem, cough, thank you, Lord City Lord, for the seat."

Lu Li covered his mouth, coughed a few times, and walked to the first place on the right.

"Mr. Ji seems to be in poor health. Is there no big problem?" Pang Zheng frowned and asked when he saw this.

"Excuse me, sir. I just felt the cold occasionally. It's nothing serious..." Lu Li waved his hand and said, "On my way here, I heard that the Commander-in-Chief was attacked?"

snort!

Upon hearing this, Pang Zheng immediately punched the armrest with a heavy fist.

"That evil thief is so bold that he openly challenged the majesty of my city lord's palace. He simply doesn't take me, Pang Zheng, nor my Dayun Law seriously! When I catch him, I will definitely skin him and convulse him. Let’s vent our hatred!”

Lu Li's heart skipped a beat, and he pretended to be puzzled and said, "The city lord is so angry. Could it be that the commander-in-chief..."

"died."

Pang Zheng's eyes flashed with cold light and he said, "It is said that the thief over there said that the thief covered his face and stormed all the way from the gate into the inner courtyard. After killing Ying Xun, he just walked away. He is really arrogant!"

"His! Dead? Impossible, Commander Ying..." Lu Li looked in disbelief.

"That man is indeed not simple. He should be a great master. However, if this man dares to commit murder in Andu City, I will never let him off lightly!" Pang Zheng said in a deep voice.

While the two were talking, several more people hurriedly walked in from outside. Lu Li turned his head and looked, and it was Qiao Feimu, Wang Hetai and the second commander Wu Changzheng.

As for the third commander, Lu Qingchu, who was responsible for city defense dispatch at this time, he never came.

Seeing Lu Li sitting on the right hand seat, Wang Hetai's already ugly face became a little more gloomy, and he and Qiao Feimu stepped forward to pay homage to the city lord.

Pang Zheng comforted Wang Hetai casually and then asked the three of them to sit down.

Pang Zheng called everyone here just to hear if they had any good ideas to capture the thief, not to doubt a few people.

However, while everyone was discussing, Wang Hetai suddenly looked at Lu Li and said in a strange tone: "Mr. Ji, my son-in-law had some trouble with you a few days ago. Doesn't this matter have anything to do with you?"

"What do you mean by Mr. Wang's words? When did I have any trouble with Commander Ying?" Lu Li frowned and asked.

"Hmph! Stop pretending. My son-in-law is more straightforward and doesn't like flattery. I know that although he didn't look good to you a few days ago, you don't need to retaliate like this. Just take his life! In your eyes But there is still the Lord of the City, and there is also Dayun Law...!"

The more Wang Hetai talked, the more excited he became, as if he was sure that this incident was inseparable from Lu Li.

The reason why Wang Hetai thought so was not entirely based on imagination, because he also knew about Goose Persimmon's idea. But at this moment, Lu Li was sitting here safe and sound, while his son-in-law was murdered.

This made him have to suspect that this matter was related to Lu Li.

However, he naturally did not dare to take the initiative to say such a thing. Otherwise, wouldn't he be exposing himself to others and telling others that he had plotted to kill Lu Li?

"Okay! What are you talking about? How can Mr. Ji, a scribe, kill Ying Xun." Before Lu Li could speak, Pang Zheng started to scold him.

"Sir, you can't say that. Although he is a scribe, he may not have met some wild gangsters..." Wang Hetai still insisted.

"Ha! Your Excellency, what you said is too funny. Do you think that everyone is as petty as you? If someone ignores you, you will take his life?

According to what you say, if a cat or a dog dies in my house, can the debt be placed on your head? After all, people like you are the real people with a heart like the eye of a needle, right? Lu Li chuckled and said sarcastically.

"You! You actually have cats and dogs to compare with the commander-in-chief of the City Lord's Mansion! You are so, so bold...!" Wang Hetai was so angry that his body was shaking.

"okay!"

Seeing the two people quarreling, Pang Zheng slammed the armrest again: "I called you here to make plans, not to listen to your quarrels here!"

Then he looked at Wang Hetai and said in a deep voice: "I know you are in a bad mood at this time, but please don't talk nonsense and pour all dirty water on others!"

"I believe that Mr. Ji has nothing to do with this matter. If you doubt it, please come up with real evidence instead of just yelling here, losing your grace in vain, and letting the real murderer see the joke!"

"Yes, my subordinate was impulsive..."

Seeing Pang Zheng getting angry, Wang Hetai could only give up temporarily, no matter how unwilling he was. After all, he was just imagining it, and there was no real evidence to prove that it was Lu Li.

Pang Zheng's expression softened slightly, and he spoke again: "The death of Commander Ying is not only related to the face of the city lord's palace, but also related to the majesty of our Dayun law. Let's talk about where to start this matter to find out the murderer. ..”
