C364 There Was Another Reason

After returning to the prince's mansion, Changxu still felt reluctant. The hidden guard who was with him did not know what to say and could only say, "Go back and report to the Royal Highness and Princess first. Lingyue is also waiting for you in the Imperial Residence. If I knew that you bought a brothel girl, I don't know what it would be like. Then she will be angry. "

Only then did Changxu think about it. Even if he bought them at a high price today, the brothel keeper would still use that money to buy a few more girls.

If this continued, would he be considered saving people or harming people?

After returning to the main hall and reporting the matter.

Mu Ruqing confirmed again, "Really? There are no other clues?"

The two of them shook their heads. At this time, the second group of hidden guards also came back, and spoke to Changxu and the rest.

They were at the back and even found an opportunity to walk around the building. They did not find anything unusual. That building was just a simple building. There weren't many people either. He also saw the person who bought the girl. They were all ordinary guards, unlike those who practiced martial arts.

It was impossible for the people who slaughtered villages to not know martial arts. Thus, the Ten Thousand Flower Building was excluded.

"The clues have been cut off again." The dark guard was a little regretful.

Yu Longchen and Mu Ruqing looked at each other and said at the same time, "Maybe not yet."

"Do you remember the person you said you wanted to buy a concubine at the beginning?" Yu Longchen looked at Changxu and then looked at the dark sky. "Quickly go and investigate! You have four hours."

Changxu and the dark guards nodded and did not stop at all. They sped through the night sky.

"We're about to touch it." Mu Ruqing looked at Yu Longchen and was very worried.

"As long as we are sure, Lord Mayor will act, and the people of Ministry of Justice." Yu Longchen walked to Mu Ruqing's side.

"Ministry of Justice?" Mu Ruqing was puzzled.

"As long as there are more than seven deaths and the situation is serious, you can directly report it to the Ministry of Justice." Yu Longchen knew Mu Ruqing was worried and comforted her, "Don't worry."

"Yes, sir." Only then did Mu Ruqing feel at ease and nod her head.

Changxu and the others quickened their pace and went straight to the courtyard of the family. The courtyard was not big.

They did not see the girl they bought to be a concubine. The person who bought her had been pacing back and forth in the courtyard.

"Did you send her there?" The buyer looked at the servant and asked.

"Yes." The servant nodded and gave the man a bulging money bag. "They said that Master, your work is getting worse and worse, and there are fewer and fewer people."

"Hmph!" The man snorted coldly and weighed the money bag in his hand. Only then did he feel somewhat satisfied. "So many people have already been sent over. How many more do you need? It's not like there isn't a family that is willing to sell their own children. Some of them are only forced to do so. Who would have such thoughts? If I can't buy it, do I have to snatch it away? I haven't even gotten the money yet, and I'm already in jail."

" The old master is really thoughtful. " The manservant respectfully flattered him, and the man was satisfied. He took out a piece of silver from his waist and rewarded him, and the manservant happily received it.

After the man left, his facial features were squeezed to the size of a dollar. "Stingy. You earned so much money at one go, but you are only willing to give me this little!"

Changxu and the others were not far away and had high martial arts. Naturally, their hearing was better than ordinary people. They could clearly hear the conversation between the two.

He gestured to the secret guard, and one of the secret guards retreated. He went to report to Yu Longchen.

Changxu led the rest of the people into the courtyard.

He held the servant in his hand.

The servant struggled and shouted, "Who are you? Someone come! A thief has entered!"

The man had not gone far when he heard the servant's shout. He called seven or eight guards in the courtyard.

They were opposing Changxu and the others. Looking at the heads, Changxu obviously didn't have as many men on his side.

The man was a little more pleased with himself. "Get the hell out of here, I can spare your lives!"

Changxu's eyes were sharp. He picked up his sword and pointed it at the man. "Is that so? "

One! He took a small step and rushed over. He raised his body and kicked at the man's left neck.

The man fell to the ground. His head hit the ground and he groaned. When he shook his head and regained consciousness, the guards he brought along were all under control. They fainted and were caught.

The man was scared. He sat on the ground and his fingers were trembling. He pointed at Changxu stubbornly. "You dare touch me?! Do you know... who I am?! I... There is someone behind me! "

"The person you are looking for is the person behind you. If you say it now, it will save you a lot of trouble." Changxu's sword left his body and pointed at the man. "You have two paths. Speak, or die."

"I will speak, I will speak!" The man no longer had the courage to resist and knelt on the ground. "I don't know who it is either. I just need to buy him back. Just send them over. I really haven't seen them before! "

Changxu used his strength and pressed the tip of the sword against the man's neck, causing blood to flow down.

The man seemed to be about to cry. "I really don't know! Hero, please spare me!"

"Where are you giving them away to!? "Look at him. He really doesn't know. Changxu won't pursue this issue any further.

"I... I will bring you there!" The man quickly got up.

"Tie them up!" Changxu turned his head and said.

The man rolled his eyes. He put his hand into his sleeve and took out a dagger. He had not moved yet.

Changxu cut his arm and said sternly, "Do you really think I am a fool?! If you move again, it won't be your hand that's bleeding! "

The dagger fell to the ground. Beads of sweat appeared on the man's forehead. "I will not dare to do it again! I won't dare to do it again! "

Changxu kicked the man's butt. The man rushed forward and fell flat on his face.

" Hurry up! "Changxu ordered.

The man quickly got up and did not dare to stop.

Outside the yard, there was a dark alley. There was no secret passage as he had imagined.

"Are you sure you are right?" Changxu made up his mind. He grabbed the man by the collar and pulled him up.

"How could I lie to you?" the man asked. The man tried to please him. "I sent them out in the carriage at night."

"Take us there. If you dare to play tricks, you'll die!" Changxu was very rude to the man. He pushed the man down again.

"Ouch!" The man screamed. He was a little slow to get up. The head that he hit just now was still swollen and painful.

"Hurry up!" The dark guard went forward and did not have patience.

The man got up and hurriedly nodded. "Yes! Yes!"

The group of people did not carry the lanterns as they moved forward in the dark by relying on the moonlight.

After walking for a quarter of an hour.

Changxu was getting impatient. He felt that the man was lying to him. He said angrily, "Why aren't you here yet? ! Do you not want to live anymore? "

" Soon, soon. Hero, don't worry. " The man answered humbly.

Changxu did not say anything else.

After walking for a while, he came to a place Changxu did not know much about, but he knew that this place was very far from King Chu's Mansion.

The man stopped. Changxu and the hidden guards looked around, but they did not find anything. The cold blade of the sword stuck to the man's skin. "You are courting death!"

"Don't, don't, don't! You can see it from here. They have people guarding the door. If you go over, you will be seen by them. It is best to stay here."

The dark guard looked around. There was indeed a fire not far ahead. There were a few figures.

He turned around and nodded at Changxu. Changxu looked at the man. "Why didn't you run over there directly? Maybe you will have a chance to escape."

"It's not that I don't want to. I'm afraid I'll be killed by the hero before I can even take a few steps."

"Still have some self-awareness." It was rare for Changxu's attitude to ease up a little.

The scout gestured with his hand, and Changxu and the others immediately stopped talking.
