Chapter 147 Cold as a Pond
Li Quangui looked at the circle of black-clad men surrounding them, smiling and flattering. Through the gaps between the black-clad men standing in front of him, he could see three people standing in front of the corridor not far away.
Although one of them was also wearing black and had his back to them, looking at his figure and aura, they knew that his clone was not ordinary, and the two people next to him should be his bodyguards.
Li Quangui smiled apologetically to the man in black in front of him.
"Brother, who are you? I just said that I am the magistrate of Liangcheng. There are thieves in my house. They poisoned us and tied us up. Can you help us untie them? I will reward you handsomely later."
The man in black in front of him drew out a half-broken sword and scolded Li Quangui.
"Shut up! Speak when it's your turn. If you say another word of nonsense, I'll cut off your tongue!"
Li Quangui was startled by the man's words and nodded quickly. He could see that this group of people were not easy to mess with, so he shut up.
However, when Mei Niang, who was beside Li Quangui, was so scared that she wanted to get closer to him and called him "Master" tremblingly, his woman's crying angered the group of men in black in front of them, so they pushed Mei Niang away and whispered to her to shut up.
"Bring Li Quangui here."
A command came from not far away, and the man in black in front stepped forward and picked up Li Quangui.
"Go! Just answer whatever our master asks you. If you say one more word of nonsense, you will die miserably."
Li Quangui nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, yes, but can you tell me the identity of your master?"
"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask!"
As he spoke, the man in black had already picked up Li Quangui and threw him behind Su Yi, and made him kneel down.
Li Quangui knelt on his knees, leaned forward, and hit his head heavily on the cold stone slab.
Although the person in front of him did not turn around, his innate majestic aura was like a heavy mountain, pressing Li Quangui so hard that he could not breathe and filled him with endless fear.
"As the father and mother official of Liangcheng, can you tell me how you were kidnapped?"
This king? The man in front of him called himself this king? There were only two princes in the Dongyue Kingdom. Whether it was Prince Yun or Prince Yi, they were both great men that Li Quangui would never dare to hope to meet in his lifetime.
"Your Majesty, I, Li Quangui, the magistrate of Liangcheng, pay my respects and kowtow to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Quangui was scolded by Ling Yu.
"Just tell me what the prince asks you! We all know exactly who you are and what you are like. If you dare to hide anything, we will kill you right now."
When Li Quangui heard Ling Yu say this, he was so scared that he collapsed to the ground. He came to his senses and reported back in a trembling voice.
"Your Highness, I was drinking with a friend at Lai Fu Inn yesterday. During the time, my friend took a fancy to a man who was staying at the inn. The man said that he had killed someone in another place and was on the run. He knew that my friend was a martial arts expert and could protect him, so he agreed to follow my friend."
Ling Yu scolded: "Your so-called friend is Zhao Dazui, the boss of Shiling Mountain?"
Li Quangui was stunned when he heard Ling Yu say this. When he came to his senses, his whole body was shaking even more than when he first knew that the person in front of him was a prince.
Ling Yu said: "I have just said that we know exactly who you are and what bad deeds you have done. The 168 bandits on the mountain have been wiped out by us, and you and those in Liangcheng who have participated in collusion with officials and bandits are doomed today. However, if you confess the truth, we may be able to spare the lives of your wife and children."
Li Quangui burst into tears upon hearing this: "Your Majesty, I will tell you, I will tell you right away!"
"Yesterday, Zhao Dazui and I got drunk in the inn. When we were walking, we accidentally bumped into a man. The man was handsome and Zhao Dazui, who had a homosexual tendency, took a fancy to him. Zhao Dazui immediately became lustful and started to touch the man."
"But the man's accomplice was very skilled in martial arts and defeated Zhao Dazui in just a few moves. But for some reason, when the handsome man learned that Zhao Dazui was the boss of Shiling Mountain, he told his accomplices to stop and declared that he had long admired Zhao Dazui's name and wanted to follow him."
Li Quangui could not see the face of the man in front of him who claimed to be the prince, but he could clearly feel that when the man in front of him heard that the man followed Zhao Dazui, the aura on his body instantly became gloomy and cold.
Seeing that Li Quangui had stopped again, Ling Yu scolded him again: "I didn't tell you to stop, but you kept talking until you talked about how you were tied up here."
Li Quangui said yes repeatedly, he swallowed and continued.
"After Zhao Dazui got the handsome man, he originally planned to take him back to Shiling Mountain immediately. But when he saw the handsome man in his arms, he was eager to have sex with him, so I took advantage of the situation and asked them to come to my villa."
"After that, when Zhao Dazui came to my villa, he couldn't wait to hug the handsome man and go to the room in my backyard to do that thing."
"I was already drunk at that time, and the soldiers and bandits who returned to the villa with us also drank a lot. When I opened my eyes again, I saw the prince's servants pouring wine on us to wake us up."
"After waking up, I discovered that, except for Zhao Dazui and the two men, everyone who was in the villa yesterday, including the servants and maids, had been drugged and tied up."
"I don't know the details of this incident. In my opinion, Zhao Dazui was also murdered. And the two men who came back with us are most likely the ones who drugged us and tied us up."
Ling Yu took out a portrait of Mu Jin dressed in men's clothes and handed it to Li Quangui.
"But this person?"
Li Quangui took a closer look and nodded quickly: "It's this person, it's this person."
Su Yi couldn't help but sneer when he heard Li Quangui say this. If it weren't for the few people who saw his hands clenched tightly behind his back with veins exposed, others might really think that he didn't care about the matter at all.
Ling Yu winked at the guard beside him, and the guard dragged Li Quangui away.
Li Quangui couldn't help but get anxious when he saw himself being dragged away by the guards.
"Your Majesty, I know that I have committed a great sin and I must die. I just hope you can spare my family. They are all innocent, Your Majesty, Your Majesty~"
The guard who was holding Li Quangui was afraid that the noise would upset Su Yi, so he knocked Li Quangui unconscious with the handle of his knife, and the villa instantly became quiet.
Seeing that Su Yi was still silent, Ling Feng and Ling Yu looked at each other, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts and lowered their heads.
After a long time, they heard: "This king once warned Nangong Min that if she couldn't protect Ah Jin, she should hide her heart."
"If I hadn't come with you, I really wouldn't have known that she would actually lower herself to be nice to that bandit just for Nangong Min, just to save two insignificant people."
Su Yi knew Mu Jin. Mu Jin was not a nosy person. He thought that it was Nangong Min, the young master of Nangong, who had a heart to save the world and was the one causing trouble. He had to save the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and Mu Jin had no choice but to get involved.
I don't know what Nangong Min felt when he saw Mu Jinxu dealing with the bandits in a cunning way. Thinking of this, Su Yi's slightly narrowed eyes couldn't help but become as cold as a pond.
