Once the defenses are breached and the sound is transmitted, support can be obtained.

call out!

Sun Mingzhong's figure flashed and he soared into the sky.

Then, unleash your full power and attack the defensive ripples.

Boom!

A loud explosion rang out.

The defensive ripples trembled a few times before settling back down.

Upon seeing this scene, Sun Mingzhong was devastated, his face turning deathly pale.

Even with his full-force attack, he couldn't break through the defensive ripples.

This indicates that its defensive capabilities are comparable to those of a fourth-grade unit.

"no!"

"I can't die, I have to hide!"

Sun Mingzhong landed and immediately fled towards the study.

There is a secret room inside the study.

If you escape inside, you might still survive.

But that's it.

"call out!"

A whooshing sound rang out.

A streak of light flew from not far away, heading straight for Sun Mingzhong.

"Danger!"

Sun Mingzhong was startled and quickly tried to dodge.

Unfortunately, time flies by as fast as lightning.

next moment.

Sun Mingzhong was sent flying backwards, pierced by a knife, and pinned to the wall.

"Pfft!"

He coughed up a mouthful of blood and looked utterly dejected.

He tried to struggle to get down and run, but a long knife pierced his chest, pinning him to the wall, where he could not move.

"Tap Tap!"

Just then, footsteps could be heard.

A stranger's face appeared in Sun Mingzhong's line of sight.

With a look of terror and confusion, he asked, "Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?"

Li Xuan walked up to the guard and picked up one of his long swords.

He tossed his right hand slightly.

The long sword shot forward.

Pfft!

The long sword struck Sun Mingzhong's head accurately, piercing through it and then pinning it to the wall.

Sun Mingzhong died instantly!

"The sealing technique will remain in effect for some time."

"To loot gold, silver and jewelry and the like."

"Why not take it if it's free!"

Li Xuan lifted his foot and walked towards the study.

···········

Half an hour later.

Li Xuan returned to the courtyard and restored it to its original state.

With a thought, a large pile of items appeared on the ground.

Banknotes, silver, jewelry, antiques, jade, medicine, houses, land deeds...

Piled up like mountains, countless!

The total value exceeds several hundred thousand taels!

Besides.

There are also some account books and correspondence.

It records evidence of Sun Mingzhong's corruption and embezzlement, as well as his collusion with Zhou Xianping and others.

"Corrupt officials deserve to die!"

"At first I thought it was very poor, but I didn't expect the study to have a hidden secret room."

"Everything is hidden in a secret room!"

When he entered Sun Mingzhong's study just now, he was stunned for a moment.

Because Sun Mingzhong's study was very simple, giving him the air of an honest and upright official.

However, after some searching, they soon discovered the hidden chamber.

The mountain of valuables before us was all found inside the secret room.

the next morning.

A hired worker from the Sun family came to the front of the mansion.

He was taken aback when he saw that the gates of the Sun residence were still tightly closed early in the morning.

"Didn't they open the door half an hour ago before?"

Why are you so late today?

·····Requesting flowers·········

He looked puzzled.

He then stepped forward and knocked on the door.

But after a few knocks, the door opened by itself.

"It's not off?"

He froze.

Then he pushed open the door and went inside.

Upon entering, a scene quickly comes into view.

Everywhere was covered in crimson blood, and corpses lay dead, their deaths gruesome.

The entire Sun residence was enveloped in tranquility.

"what!!"

The maid's pupils widened, and she screamed in fear.

The next moment, he immediately turned around and fled for his life.

They were running for their lives while shouting loudly.

"Dead!"

"Someone has died in the Sun family!"

···········

morning.

Li Xuan got up as usual and headed to the night watchman's headquarters.

Upon arriving at headquarters, I saw many night watchmen with solemn expressions and hurried steps.

It seems that something important has happened.

"Lord Silver Gong!"

One of his men stepped forward and gave a slight bow.

Li Xuan nodded and asked, "What happened?"

The subordinate replied, "We learned this morning that the Sun family was massacred, with no one left alive; Sun Mingzhong, a third-rank official in the Ministry of Revenue, was even stared at and killed against the wall, his death was gruesome."

"This matter alarmed His Majesty, who ordered us night watchmen to investigate thoroughly and track down the murderer."
