The most romantic little emperor

The soldiers of the imperial guards took orders and went away like a gust of wind.

Soon after, they took control of the people in the Su Mansion, and at the same time, a steady stream of information reached Lu Yi's ears.

"Sir Lu, the Su Mansion is under complete control, but we have been unable to find the father and son of the Su family."

"Sir, it's the same here. Even the women of the Su family seem to have evaporated from the face of the earth, disappearing without a trace."

……

Lu Yi's expression became more solemn as the soldiers reported. A sharp cold light flashed in his eyes. He looked directly at the servants and guards kneeling at his feet and said in a cold voice: "I will give you one more chance. Tell me, where did Su Zhengfang and his son go?"

The servants and guards exchanged looks of astonishment with each other. They did not intend to conceal the truth, but they really did not know where the Su father and son had gone.

Faced with Lu Yi's pressure, they could only shake their heads helplessly, indicating that they knew nothing.

Lu Yi looked at the servants and guards in front of him who were silent as a mouse, as if they were silently challenging his authority.

He frowned slightly, as if driven by invisible anger, and suddenly drew out the long sword at his waist. With a flash of sword light, the person closest to him fell to the ground, and blood splattered everywhere.

"Speak or not?" Lu Yi's voice was as cold as ice, as if if they didn't speak, the person in front of him would be their fate.

Everyone was frightened out of their wits by the sudden bloody scene. They fell to their knees and kowtowed for mercy.

"Please spare me, sir. I really don't know where they are!"

"The master has not left the mansion since he came back. How dare we ask about his whereabouts?"

"The Second Young Master just told us that if anyone trespassed, they would be killed without mercy. I haven't seen him since then."

Looking at their frightened expressions, a hint of certainty flashed in Lu Yi's eyes. He was already convinced that these people might really not know the inside story.

"Keep them under guard and interrogate them separately."

Lu Yi calmly gave the order, "At the same time, give the order to conduct a carpet search of the Su Mansion, leaving no room untouched."

"Since the Su family and their families were able to leave so quietly, there must be a secret passage in the Su Mansion. No matter how hidden it is, you must find it for me, even if you have to dig three feet underground."

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. The same story is being played out simultaneously in different places.

The imperial guards holding torches kept shuttling back and forth in the streets and alleys of the capital.

Boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, corals, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, rare treasures were collected from the mansions of various officials and sent to the palace.

At the same time, the news that the Su family father and son had disappeared soon reached Qin Hao's ears.

"What did you say? The Su family father and son have not been found, who leaked the news?" Qin Hao kicked Lu Yi to the ground and asked coldly.

Lu Yi knelt on the ground, his forehead pressed against the cold ground, and said in a voice with a hint of urgency and determination: "Your Majesty, we accidentally discovered many hidden secret passages in the Su Mansion."

"The exits of these secret passages are extremely hidden. Some are hidden in the residential areas of ordinary people, and some are mixed in ordinary courtyards. I can be sure that they are still in the capital, and the imperial guards are doing their best to search for their whereabouts."

Just as Qin Hao was about to speak, a black shadow passed by like the wind and instantly knelt in front of Qin Hao. The person was Ying Shisan, one of the shadow guards.

Ying Shisan had no expression on his face, but his voice was unusually heavy: "Your Majesty, there is urgent information. Not long ago, the Wang family's mansion, the Chen family's mansion, and the Zhu Guogong's mansion were all attacked by unknown men in black."

"In this sudden night raid, Old Lady Wang, Patriarch Chen, and Second Master Zhu were unfortunately abducted by the men in black, and their whereabouts remain unknown to this day."

"Your Majesty! Mother..."

Wang Yourong was so frightened that she was about to collapse, as if a gust of wind could blow her down. Even the tone of her voice was filled with endless fear and worry, as if the end of the world had come.

Seeing this, Qin Hao hugged Wang Yourong tightly in his arms and comforted her softly, "Rong'er, don't worry, I will rescue my mother-in-law safely no matter what. Go back and rest first, get enough energy, and wait for my good news."

Wang Yourong wanted to say something, but Qin Hao didn't give her a chance to speak. He patted her on the back gently, then turned to the palace maids and eunuchs behind him and said, "Come here, send Madam Rong back to rest and make sure to take good care of her."

The palace maids and eunuchs immediately stepped forward and carefully supported Wang Yourong.

Wang Yourong's eyes were slightly red, and tears kept rolling in her eyes, but she never shed them. She knew that this was not the time for her to be willful, so she could only suppress her worries and slowly leave with the help of the palace maid.

Qin Hao stood where he was, watching Wang Yourong's figure gradually going away, a gleam of determination flashing in his eyes.

He turned around quickly, motioned for the two to stand up, and then asked in detail about the whole story.

As the details gradually became clear, Qin Hao's anger erupted like a volcano. He clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with anger, and he gritted his teeth and cursed: "Su Zhengfang, this old man, is really cunning and ready to tear his face off with me at any time."

"Let's go. Today I must capture that old villain Su Zhengfang with my own hands and grind him to dust to relieve the hatred in my heart!" Qin Hao's voice was as cold as ice, revealing an irresistible majesty.

However, Lu Yi stepped forward and quickly blocked his way, saying firmly: "Your Majesty, please think twice! You are a king, how can you easily take risks? I am willing to do it for you."

The leader of the Shadow Guards followed closely behind him and said, "Your Majesty, the safety of the palace depends on your presence. I am willing to lead the Shadow Guards to bring Su Zhengfang to justice and hand him over to Your Majesty for punishment."

Qin Hao's eyebrows flashed with impatience. He waved his hand, and an invisible force pushed the two people away. He walked forward firmly: "Get out of the way! I have made up my mind, no need to say more!"

Before Qin Hao could take two steps, Gao Lishi hurried over with a group of young eunuchs and blocked Qin Hao's way.

"Your Majesty, if you trust me, please leave this matter to me. Let me do this for you." Gao Lishi's face was full of solemnity, and he persuaded calmly.

However, Qin Hao was filled with rage at the moment, so how could he listen to these persuasion? He shouted angrily, his voice full of unquestionable majesty: "Get out of the way! I want to go there myself!"

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was extremely tense. Everyone was shocked by Qin Hao's thundering momentum and did not dare to disobey in the slightest.

However, Gao Lishi was unmoved. He knelt on his knees and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, if you insist on going, please step over my dead body."

When the others heard Gao Lishi's words, they were all moved by his loyalty and knelt down to advise him.
