Imperial City Ruins, opportunities refreshed daily

Chapter 28 Forced
Xu Hao held his breath, hid beside the secret passage, and looked at the entrance nervously.

This was the first time he faced an enemy that was not yet dead.

A battle might break out soon.

Although the fortune-telling by chance shows a very auspicious sign, it also says that one needs to be careful.

What's more, Liu Shiniang is a strong person from the Hehuan Sect. Even if she is seriously injured and dying, she is probably not weak.

boom.

Just when Xu Hao was highly focused, a figure rushed into the secret passage quickly and plunged into the well. Then, due to inertia, it rushed out of the secret passage and slammed heavily into the stone wall opposite the well.

boom.

Immediately afterwards, the figure fell into the water, and after two gurgling sounds, there was no movement.

"This? Dead?" Xu Hao looked at all this in shock, unable to react.

Although the fortune telling didn’t indicate any danger, it shouldn’t be that serious!
He didn't do anything and the target person died?
One day, a powerful man from the Hehuan Sect would actually die by crashing into the stone wall of a well.

Xu Hao had thought of countless scenarios, but he never expected there to be such a bizarre one.

"Maybe this is because I've done too many bad things. It's the time and the fate." Xu Hao looked at the well with the help of the moonlight and found that Liu Shiniang was indeed the most beautiful courtesan.

Although she is not as stunning as the Ninth Princess Xuan Qingxiao, she is similar to Tang Wan'er, and in terms of her charming temperament, she has a more mature charm.

Pity!
Xu Hao sighed.

If it weren’t for the Hehuan Sect, if it weren’t for being able to absorb essence and blood, how great it would be!

No matter how much money it costs, Xu Hao wants to severely criticize the bad roots of feudal society.

While it's hot?

Two words that were popular on the Internet in his previous life flashed through Xu Hao’s mind, but he didn’t do it in the end!
Xu Hao remembered the prompt sound on the signing information, and he hurried to Liu Shiniang's body and touched her all over.

It’s not that he wants to take advantage of it, but he wants to find out the earth-level opportunity on the lottery ticket.

After a while, Xu Hao found an exquisite wooden box from Liu Shiniang's chest.

The wooden box should be the size of two palms.

After Xu Hao picked it up, he felt it carefully again. After making sure that nothing was missing, he immediately opened the wooden box.

There were a large number of silver notes and several gold notes in the wooden box.

In addition, a transparent porcelain bottle containing a red pill the size of a longan attracted his attention.

The pill was a strange blood red color, appearing extremely extraordinary.

Xu Hao took out the transparent porcelain bottle immediately.

In an instant, a message appeared.

[Essence and Blood Pill, crafted by a woman from the Hehuan Sect using special methods and combining natural treasures, possesses powerful body-refining properties. Can be taken directly. Earth Rank!]

Xu Hao became excited instantly.

This is the Earth-level opportunity he is looking for.

Finally got it!

Xu Hao did not jump out of the well immediately. Instead, he used other daggers to remove the traces of himself, and then used a scoop to wet the surroundings to completely eliminate the smell.

After doing all this, Xu Hao immediately jumped out of the well.

Now that you have obtained it, you should leave quickly, because every minute of delay may lead to variables.

Xu Hao walked out of the well, looked around, and felt some noisy sounds all around. He immediately turned into a remote area and took out some spare robes and boots from his backpack.

Because they were in the well, their boots and clothes inevitably got wet.

Must be replaced.

This is the trace. Although it is impossible to be discovered, what if?
What's more, the signature clearly states that caution is required, so even the smallest trace must be made absolutely sure.

Xu Hao changed into a set of imperial guard robes and then sprayed spices on his body to isolate the smell that might have come from contact with Liu Shiniang.

After everything was ready, Xu Hao took a leisurely step and ran towards the Xu family in the capital.

As for the increasingly noisy courtyard behind him, he ignored it.

Because it's none of his business.

Less than an incense stick of time after Xu Hao left, a team of strong men from the Pacification Division carefully emerged from the secret passage.

"Here!" "It's Qingyuan's most beautiful courtesan, Liu Shiniang!"

After the strong men from the Pacification Office were on guard, they saw Liu Shiniang in the well and were immediately surprised.

Last night, the strong men from the Pacification Office were dispatched, and they thought they had a sure win, but in the end, the culprit Liu Shiniang escaped.

The Ninth Princess got very angry.

They were busy and unexpectedly found traces of Liu Shiniang in this villa of the imperial palace.

Soon, Liu Shiniang was salvaged ashore.

"It was Leo's powerful strength that caused the damage, and the injury on her forehead was the last straw that broke the camel's back!"

Soon, the criminal investigation experts of the Pacification Office determined the specific process of Liu Shiniang's death. However, some traces of a well that appeared afterwards made them look suspicious.

Because judging from the situation at the scene, there should be another person in the well.

I just don't know if it was a response, a coincidence, or the person who created the secret passage.

"Liu Shiniang has no other valuables on her!" The last result made everyone in the Pacification Office dare not breathe a word.

The main reason why Liu Shiniang was arrested was that she took away most of Qingyuan's money.

But now, someone has gotten there first.

While everyone in the Pacification Office was thinking about how to explain to the Ninth Princess Xuan Qingxiao, Xu Hao had already returned to the Xu family.

"Are you back?" Xu Qianzhi quickly invited Xu Hao to the lobby.

"Is there something?" Xu Hao looked at Xu Qianzhi's expression and asked.

"Hey!" Xu Qianzhi rubbed his hands, then asked with a sigh, "Do you have any money left? Or, can you borrow some from someone else?"

"What?" Xu Hao frowned.

"Hey, isn't it the same as last time when the goods were lost? Not only do we have to compensate the seller, but the head of the Ministry of Revenue also sent a message asking us to compensate!" Xu Qianzhi clenched his fists.

"How much do you want?" Xu Hao asked in a deep voice.

Last time, it was I who requested the burning of the property, and it was also due to my own lack of consideration.

And judging from the pressure from the government, it is obvious that it was the officials who were in collusion with the White Lotus Sect who were exerting pressure.

But the good news is that the other party is here openly, and you can avoid it by paying money.

The less trouble, the better.

Anyway, Xu Hao is now earning a large sum of money.

"Five thousand taels!" Xu Qianzhi spoke awkwardly, with anger and helplessness on his face.

The county magistrate is not as good as the county manager.

The entire capital was intricately built, and all kinds of taxes had names and could not be escaped.

And if they don’t pay it, the Xu family will definitely be in big trouble.

He had no choice because he had no other way to borrow money.

This time I came to ask Xu Hao because I was thinking that I had given Xu Hao a lot of money. What if he hadn’t used it all?

In addition, there are wealthy places in the imperial palace, and Xu Hao is already a small flag of the imperial guard, so he must have some ways to make money and decision-making ability.

At the very least, it would be better for Xu Hao to borrow money from other rich kids than for him to borrow money himself.

Because this is obviously a fire pit, and he and the Xu family are forced to jump in and completely become other people's running dogs and pawns.

In the past, Xu Qianzhi wouldn’t even think about it.

After all, it doesn't matter who you serve as a dog to.

However, Xu Hao made it clear that the forces forcing him might be connected to the White Lotus Sect.

So, Xu Qianzhi didn't want to get in touch anymore.

The White Lotus Sect is a cult, and was defeated by the Great Xuan Dynasty, so it has been wanted. If he continues to have contact with the White Lotus Sect, all ten clans of the Xu family will be implicated.

He would rather die than implicate the entire Xu family.

"I'll get it for you!" Xu Hao said, then stood up.

Now he had to quickly return to his room to count his gains.
