The news that the Duke of Zhenguo killed nearly a hundred people in broad daylight spread quickly in the capital.

This completely overturned the most eye-catching news in the capital, namely, His Majesty's selection of people to enter the harem and the arrest of the person who presented the treasure.

Everyone was in disbelief the moment they found out. "Is this a joke? Capital city! Killing hundreds of people in the street?!"

And they were all dead, so why didn't she run away? How could she kill so many people by herself?

Someone who knew the inside story said, "How could I lie to you? Someone in my family works in Jiyuan Lane! It's absolutely true! Who doesn't know? It's spread everywhere!

Don’t you know that the blood of those people dyed the road of Jiyuan Lane red? Servants from several families came out to clean it up, and the smell of blood still lingers.”

"But why...she killed so many people, didn't anyone stop her?"

"Everyone knew she was going to arrest Shan Yuan, so we all stayed indoors for fear of getting into trouble. We also heard about the fighting that day, and they said someone came to rob people...

But why did she kill Shan Yuan? When I was cleaning up the body, I saw that the shackles on Shan Yuan's hands were still intact. "

"All dead? Those husbands and children of the Shan family..."

"They say one of them survived, but he's not awake yet."

"It's too cruel..." The person who heard it patted his chest, "How could the former Duke of Zhenguo, with that kind of personality, give birth to such a daughter..."

"I heard that she might not be that person's child..."

No matter how the many families in the capital city arranged it privately, Lou Xiao sat in the lobby of the City Patrol Office in her still spotless dress.

This put the city patrol officer in a very difficult position. Nearly a hundred people in the capital city died at her hands, yet she was still so calm and composed. She was simply fearless!

According to the law, she should be thrown into prison, but she is just a small city patrol officer, how dare she do that?

This man is a favorite of His Majesty, the Duke of Zhenguo!

She had already sent someone to report to the Ministry of Justice. How to deal with the matter was not something she, a mere sixth-rank official, could decide.

"Sir, I dare to ask, did you do this?"

She had done her best to excuse her.

Unexpectedly, Lou Xiao did not appreciate it and said indifferently, "I don't know."

What do you mean you don't know? You are the only one alive besides the unconscious man. Who else could it be?

The patrol officer wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Zhao Ji was so bold that he teamed up with Shan Yuan to bring people to rob criminals in the street. When they were about to succeed, you caught them all in one fell swoop. You are really brave."

Lou Xiao frowned and corrected, "Shan Yuan did not collude with Zhao Ji, she was unaware of it."

And she also believed that even if Zhao Ji succeeded, Shan Yuan would not go with her.

The city patrol officer was speechless. If that was the case, why did you kill Shan Yuan?

I couldn't get anything out of her, so now I could only hope for the unconscious survivor.

It is said that he is an adult son of Shan Yuan's family and must know what happened at that time.

Just when he was struggling, someone came to report from outside the government office that King Youshan had arrived.

The city patrol officer's face was wrinkled into a bitter gourd. Another important person came to visit, and her small place could not accommodate two big Buddhas!

Who can tell her what to do?!

Xiao Zhengdu rushed in quickly. He ignored the patrol officer who was saluting and looked at Lou Xiao first.

"Are you hurt?"

Lou Xiao came back to her senses from her slight trance and replied, "Nothing."

"I've heard about it all. Shan Yuan... Her subordinate named Zhao Ji was recruited in the past. It seems that she still didn't manage him well.

Ultimately, she herself bears great responsibility, and it has nothing to do with you. I will explain this to His Majesty."
