Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 164 If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, how can you catch the tiger’s cubs?

"Tou'er Li, are you leaving now?"

Tan Hu lowered his voice.

Hearing this, Li Rui looked at Tan Hu.

This captain of the Benhu Cavalry is indeed not as strong and simple-minded as he appears.

"of course not."

"But we won't find any results if we continue to search Chunyan Tower."

Tan Hu nodded, and seeing that Li Rui looked confident, he put his heart at ease again.

Looking at Li Rui's attitude, you can tell that he doesn't need to worry too much.

The group came in a hurry and returned to the military camp in a hurry.

Li Rui had just come out of the autopsy room.

Then I saw Jiang Linxian and Ning Zhongtian already waiting outside the door.

He was not surprised by this.

Since the matter concerns Wenxian Tower and the old Taoist's disciple, and it happened in Qinghe, Jiang Linxian must step in to inquire about it.

"What happened?"

"How did Junior Brother Qu die?"

There was a hint of sword intent flashing in Jiang Linxian's eyes. Qu Chengfeng's death in Qinghe was undoubtedly a slap in his face.

Li Rui sent someone to notify Jiang Linxian while at the same time taking people to Chunyan Tower.

Just for this moment.

Even if it was not his responsibility for such a serious incident, Qu Chengfeng should have lived in his house after all. If someone died, Jiang Linxian would have known nothing when she asked him questions.

That's a matter of attitude.

Big question!
Li Rui is experienced in handling matters and certainly would not be confused about such matters.

He immediately told Jiang Linxian in detail the information he had obtained from Chunyan Tower.

When Jiang Linxian heard that Qu Chengfeng had gone to the brothel by himself and died in the woman's room, her expression remained serious, but her tone was obviously relieved:

"Not bad. Keep tracking it down."

He first expressed his approval of Li Rui's attitude of taking immediate action. Since it did not happen in Anningwei, at least there would be an explanation after Zhang Laodao came back.

And Qu Chengfeng died in a brothel.

It's your own fault.

It is even more impossible for Zhang Laodao to blame An Ningwei.

He then looked at Yao Xue who was still immersed in grief: "Junior Brother Yao, please accept my condolences. I will definitely give your master an explanation on this matter!"

Yao Xueqiang cheered herself up: "Thank you, Senior Jiang."

Jiang Linxian then said to Ning Zhongtian beside him: "Master Ning, this matter is left to you. Investigate it for me. You must find the murderer within seven days!"

"Yes."

Ning Zhongtian said in a deep voice.

Jiang Linxian symbolically comforted Yao Xue with a few words before leaving.

Ning Zhongtian looked at Li Rui helplessly: "Brother Li, Lord Jiang asked me to find the real murderer within seven days, you have to help me."

When it comes to fighting and killing, he believes he is no worse than others.

But when it comes to investigating a case, it's like groping in the dark, like a blind man crossing a river.

Li Rui thought about how Ning Zhongtian had taken great pains to get him promoted, and he felt that he should help him. He also wanted to know the truth of the matter.

Although he has eliminated the impact of this matter on himself, the matter is related to him after all. In case that person is deliberately targeting him, it is better to take advantage of Jiang Linxian and Ning Zhongtian's strong support and find out the murderer.

He is just assisting in the investigation. It is not his turn to worry about killing the murderer, so the risk factor is controllable.

Li Rui: "Boss Ning, that's not right. We are one family, just give us your orders."

Ning Zhongtian was overjoyed.

With such capable and willing subordinates, there is no need to worry about not getting things done.

Of course he had to do this himself.

But it also requires capable people to work hard.

Li Rui is a good candidate.

Haishi.

late at night.

"Senior, are you going out?"

Li Rui put on his coat, pushed open the door and walked into the yard, then he saw Yao Xue standing at the door.

Yao Xue took two steps forward and said:
"If we go to investigate the case, I hope you can take me with you. I want to catch the murderer who killed Junior Brother Qu with my own hands."

Yao Xue's little face was full of determination.

Li Rui was speechless.

He thought it was a coincidence, but it seemed that Yao Xue had been waiting for him in the yard for a long time.

Li Rui chuckled: "Miss Yao, I'm going to a brothel tonight. It would be too conspicuous for a woman like you to follow me."

Qinglou
Yao Xue bit her lower lip and said, "I can dress up as a man."

"."

Li Rui was speechless. This woman must have read too many martial arts novels and still believed in the disguise of women disguised as men. There are women who can disguise as men, but one thing is certain, that is, they cannot be too beautiful, otherwise they will be recognized at a glance.

Unless the Mother of Ten Thousand Ghosts comes back to life and disguises Yao Xue, she will definitely be exposed.

Li Rui had no intention of acting out such a cliché scene as taking a beautiful girl to a brothel.

He didn't say anything, just stared quietly.

soon.

Yao Xue couldn't hold on and gave up. She probably realized that her proposal was too ridiculous.

"Senior, if there is any situation, please tell me immediately."

"Well, Miss Yao, don't worry. I will let you know if I have any clues. I will leave first."

Li Rui nodded at Yao Xue, then stepped past her and pushed the door open.

Only Yao Xue was left in the yard.

The look in his eyes became more complicated.

"Master Li?"

"Why are you here again? What's the matter?"

The madam was about to greet him with a smile, but when she saw that it was Li Rui, she immediately lost her temper.

Li Rui smiled and said, "Why can't I come to Chunyan Tower if I have nothing to do?"

One listen.

The madam's expression changed and she immediately smiled.

"Take these officials for example. They are so changeable. They are stern and impartial in the morning, but they are promiscuous at night." Thinking in his heart, his voice became soft and sticky:
"Master Li, it depends on what you said. Would you like to come in, or to the private room?"

I don’t know if the owner of Chunyan Tower used to run an inn and learned the way of grading the rooms according to the heaven, earth and people.

The character "人" is the lowest and the character "天" is the highest.

The level is the same and the price is the same.

In the past, when Li Rui came here, he was only willing to open a room with a floor space of 100 square meters.

"Let's go to the Tianzi room today."

When the madam heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up. The Ren-shaped and Di-shaped rooms are both for volume, mainly to attract customers, while the Tian-shaped room is the most profitable place in Chunyan Tower.

I didn't expect that Lord Li in front of me would be so generous today.

"Mr. Li, please come in."

The madam smiled flatteringly and led Li Rui to the third floor.

As they walked, she asked, "Does my master have a favorite girl? I'll send my maid to invite her. Girls always need to dress up, so you won't have to wait too long."

Li Rui laughed:
"Just Miss Baozhuer."

When she heard Baozhu'er, the madam's smile froze instantly: "Master Li, Baozhu just encountered that incident this morning. I'm afraid she won't be able to serve you well if she comes out now."

The smile on Li Rui's face disappeared as he said, and he said coldly: "Why, that pretty boy named Qu can have fun with me, but I can't?"

"no no."

The madam hurriedly smiled.

His mind raced and he soon figured it out.

It is estimated that the Lord Li in front of him has a grudge against the dead young man named Qu, and he wants to take revenge.

Damn men's desire to win.

She sighed softly, knowing that if she did not agree to Li Rui's request today, there would be no peace in Chunyan Tower tomorrow.

As Chunyan Tower grows bigger, the power of the owner behind it will certainly not be small.

But Li Rui was a member of An Ning Wei, and someone died in the building, so it would be easy for him to take control of Chun Yan Tower.

Just saying that the building is closed for seven days due to an investigation is enough to make her feel overwhelmed.

"I'll go get Baozhu right away."

As she spoke, she winked at the maid beside her and whispered the three words "Baozhuer".

The maid was a little hesitant, but under the murderous look of the madam, she agreed and left.

Li Rui entered the room first.

Baozhu'er had not arrived yet, so a tall maid in green clothes served her instead, leaning close to Li Rui to rub his shoulders and back.

It takes about a cup of tea.

Baozhuer then walked into the room with light lotus steps.

Li Rui was stunned.

Baozhu was wearing plain clothes. If you didn't know her, you would think she was a widow.

The madam also came running in at this time:
"Master Li, this damn girl is stubborn and insists on wearing this way. It would be better to change her to another girl so that she won't spoil my mood."

She turned around and glared at Baozhuer.

This little slut is always causing trouble for her!

Calling my husband the surname Qu would be fine, but do you really want me to be in mourning for my husband? !

She was about to drag Baozhuer out and scold her harshly, but Li Rui waved his hand with interest: "That's it, I think it's good."

"????"

The madam's face was full of question marks.

This white dress, brothel, pretty good? ?
She muttered to herself.

Guessing that it was the official's special hobby, he had no choice but to keep Baozhu'er. Before leaving, he sternly warned Baozhu not to cause trouble for her.

A crunch.

The door was closed.

Li Rui and Baozhuer were the only ones left in the room.

Li Rui patted the soft couch next to him and said, "Come here, let me take a closer look."

Baozhuer placed her right hand on her left shoulder, feeling wronged. She curled up like a timid deer in the woods. She managed to force out a sad smile: "Master, I'll be right here."

She sat next to Li Rui obediently.

There is a one-foot distance in the middle.

Li Rui pulled her into his arms. Baozhuer cried softly and tried to struggle but found she was powerless. Finally, she gave up and collapsed on Li Rui's chest.

"Master"

She just wanted to speak.

next moment.

Her pupils suddenly widened, a look of pain appeared on her face, and streaks of blue blood spread from her neck up to her pretty face.

Li Rui narrowed his eyes, and the five fingers that grasped Baozhuer's waist were like iron clamps, digging into the flesh.

Sudden changes occur.

"what!"

A shrill howl like that of a vengeful ghost came from Baozhu'er's mouth.

Baozhuer's pretty face turned blue and black in an instant.

How can she be called a pretty lady? She is clearly a demon from hell.

"You deserve to die!"

A resentful voice came out of Baozhuer's mouth.

Li Rui's eyes sparkled with excitement and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

That's it!

The mysterious and clear energy surged up from Dantian and poured madly into Baozhuer's body.

There was more pain on Baozhu'er's face, but she was horrified to find that she couldn't break free from Li Rui's arms no matter what she did.

Three breaths.

Baozhuer couldn't hold on for just three breaths.

Bang bang bang!
Muffled sounds rang out inside her body.

All the tendons and veins in his body were burst by Li Rui's Xuanqing Qi.

Only then did Li Rui let go of his hand.

He controlled his strength very well. Baozhu'er still had her last breath left, so the rest of the matter could be left to the An Ning Guard's Punishment Hall.

Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Baozhuer, who looked three parts human and seven parts ghost.

murmured:
"Charm demon."
