The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

The next day, Peng Qi called the old housekeeper Peng Song and whispered something in Peng Song's ear.

After hearing this, the housekeeper was so frightened that he sat down on the ground with a thud and said in a trembling voice, "Master, I have never killed anyone."

Peng Qi glared at him, "Waste! Did the master ask you to kill him with your own hands?"

"Didn't I tell you to find a few servants to do it together?"

"You're so fucking useless. You eat all day and end up with a fat face and round butt. When something goes wrong, you become a fucking idiot!"

"Hurry up and do it! If you mess up for the master, I won't forgive you!"

"Look here!" Peng Song was so scared that he ran out crawling.

Seeing that the housekeeper had gone out, Peng Qi changed into short clothes, picked up his sword and walked towards the back garden.

He knew that Sun Liu was quite capable and could not be easily defeated.

After Peng Song and several servants went in, he immediately stood guard at the entrance of the cave.

They were afraid that if they accidentally let Sun Liu escape, it would be troublesome.

When Peng Song and his companions entered the secret room with swords in their hands, they saw Sun Liu lying on the bed and were delighted.

He immediately rushed forward, waving the weapon in his hand.

In fact, Sun Liu woke up the moment the cave entrance opened.

He was fleeing at the moment and had already become a frightened bird, becoming doubly alert at the slightest movement.

He quickly picked up a kitchen knife and a dagger from the kitchen, hid them behind him and lay on the bed.

He pretended to be asleep, with his eyes slightly closed, glancing at the cave entrance with his peripheral vision.

When he saw four or five people dressed as servants walking in, he immediately understood.

I cursed in my heart: Peng Qi, you are a two-faced, ungrateful villain!

It’s all in vain that I’ve been loyal to you. I’ve risked my life for you for so many years, and I don’t know how many bad things I’ve done for you.

In the end, you took advantage of my misfortune and even wanted to kill me to silence me.

How can I let you do what you want! These few bastards want to kill me! Ugh!

Just as he was thinking about it, several people raised their swords and attacked him.

Sun Liu quickly rolled over and fell under the bed. He immediately waved the kitchen knife and dagger in his hands and stabbed several people in the lower body.

In an instant, all the weapons used by several people to attack Sun Liu fell on the bed.

Before they could react, they felt a sharp pain in their lower body.

When they touched their hands, they found them covered in blood. Just as they reacted, Sun Liu was already standing behind them.

Qili started hacking and stabbing wildly, and soon several people fell in a pool of blood.

Sun Liu curled his lips in contempt: "Bah! You really don't know your own limitations."

"You don't even consider your own worth, yet you still want to assassinate me. You must be tired of living!"

He threw the knife and dagger on the ground and took two swords from several people.

He opened the box, grabbed a few handfuls of gold and put them in his arms.

Then he ran to the kitchen and grabbed a few pancakes and stuffed them in.

Seeing that there was nothing left to take, he sneered, "Peng Qi, you bastard! Even if I die, I will take you with me to see the King of Hell!"

After saying that, he strode towards the cave entrance. Peng Qi had already heard the movement inside the cave.

Knowing that something bad was going to happen, he tightened his grip on the sword and thought to himself, Sun Liu, you can't blame me for this.

Who said you didn't take the road to heaven, and went to hell without a door? Today is your death day!

Sun Liuqian had made all sorts of calculations, but he had never expected that Peng Qi would be waiting for him at the cave entrance.

After arriving at the cave entrance, he hurriedly raised his head and straightened his waist, preparing to rush out with all his strength.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his head appeared above the ground, it was chopped off by Peng Qi's sword.

Immediately, a column of blood gushed out from his neck, and the dead body and head rolled down the stairs.

Peng Qi was very excited when he saw that Sun Liu was killed by him.

He immediately called several servants and carried all the dead bodies out of the secret room.

He then asked them to clean up the bloodstains inside, and then closed the door of the secret room and returned to the living room.

Guo was already waiting there. Seeing Peng Qi walk in, she hurriedly asked, "Master, what's going on?"

Peng Qi sat down on the sofa, took a sip of tea, and calmed himself down: "Madam, it's done!"

"The old housekeeper and several servants were killed by Sun Liu."

Guo curled her lips in disdain: "Just a few worthless lives, not worth mentioning!"

Peng Qi nodded: "Madam! What should we do next?"

"Master, I have made up my mind. Call the police right away."

"Just say that Sun Liu broke into the house and tried to take you hostage, but was killed by the servants!"

Peng Qi thought about it and felt that this reason was reasonable.

He nodded and said, "Very good! Madam, this is a good idea. I will call the police immediately!"

Ten minutes later, several police cars drove into the Peng villa with sirens blaring.

The staff of the Criminal Investigation Department immediately investigated the scene.

The result was consistent with what Peng Qi had described, and they immediately took Sun Liu's body and retreated to the Public Security Bureau.

Qiwu rushed over as soon as he received the report.

He looked at Sun Liu's dead body and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

This case can finally be closed. It seems that Sun Liu is the mastermind behind the assassination of Gongzi Ri.

But why did he want to assassinate the young master? Thinking of this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Well, never mind all that. Since Young Master Ri is fine, I will just identify Sun Liu as the murderer. The case will be solved and I can report it to the authorities.

In the Fugui Palace, Zixuan listened to Qiwu's report and felt that something was wrong.

She asked Qiwu: "Qiwu, don't you think this case is full of doubts?"

"For example, why did Sun Liu want to assassinate Zi Ri? What was his motive?"

"Also, why did he die in Peng Qi's mansion? Is the truth really as Peng Qi said?"

Qiwu chuckled and scratched his head: "Your Majesty, I also feel that something is amiss."

"But everything requires evidence. Now that Sun Liu is dead, all clues are cut off."

"We can't rely on speculation to solve cases. Without evidence, we can't do anything. We can't just arrest people for no reason."

Zixuan nodded helplessly: "Okay, this is the only way."

"However, we must increase public security efforts in the future to ensure the personal safety of every prince and princess!"

Qiwu straightened his back and answered loudly: "Yes!"

Half a month later, Zixuan received reply letters from Qufu, one from Duke Xiang of Lu and the other from his son and daughter.

In the letter, Duke Xiang of Lu praised Prince Xu highly for his talent.

His martial arts skills were so strong that it was said that Zixu was a rare all-round talent in both civil and military affairs, and he would definitely achieve great things if he stayed in Lu.

Now he is one of the Nine Ministers in the court. Please rest assured, Zixuan, he will take good care of Zixu.

Zixu told his mother in the letter that he had received all the self-defense weapons and gold, silver and jewelry.

Since he and Ziye have no blood relationship, he wants to marry Ziye as soon as possible.

I would like to ask Zixuan to choose an auspicious day and return to Fugui City to hold the wedding. I hope Zixuan can agree.

Zixuan smiled and thought to himself, Xu'er, Ye'er, since you are no longer related by blood, how can mother not agree?
