Outside the gate of Li's Mansion, there was a carriage that was about to travel back to Luoyang, and Li Mao was standing beside the carriage, looking up at the word "Li's Mansion" on the plaque, his eyes full of melancholy.

He knew very well in his heart that when he left this time, it meant that the layout of the Li family in Jiaozhou for many years was destroyed, and the efforts of the Li family in Jiaozhou for many years were wasted.

Thinking of this, he is now almost bleeding from hatred. He doesn't blame Xiao Jie, after all, it was the Li family who wanted to deal with Xiao Jie. He blamed all this on that idiot Tang Heng, who ruined the Li family. All industries in Jiaozhou.

Even now that he has sent someone to kill Tang Heng's family of three, the hatred in his heart is still hard to get rid of.

Before setting off, the Li family and His Highness the King of Han were full of confidence in his trip. They felt that even if they could not completely defeat Xiao Jie with such a sharp weapon in hand, they would still make him burnt out and exhausted. Falling behind in the battle.

It's just that they didn't expect to underestimate Xiao Jie's courage and means. In the end, not only was Xiao Jie unscathed, but because Tang Heng, an idiot, pretended to be clever, Xiao Jie and the Tao family took the opportunity to annex all the properties of the Li family in Jiaozhou, causing the Li family to The years of operation in Jiaozhou disappeared in an instant.

Although Li Mao was unwilling in every possible way, he had to admit in his heart that the Li family suffered a crushing defeat in this confrontation with Xiao Jie.

Now that the hidden dangers and threats that should be eliminated have been eliminated, Li Mao knew that it was time for him to evacuate Jiaozhou as soon as possible. Now that the Li family's foundation in Jiaozhou has been broken, he would worry that Xiao Jie would be unfavorable to him if he continued to stay.

After all, the sky of Jiaozhou is high and the emperor is far away. As the governor, Xiao Jie can cover the sky with one hand. Now that I don't have any bargaining chips in my hands to deal with him or threaten him, it is easy for Xiao Jie to deal with him.

Thinking of this, Li Mao took a deep look at the mansion for the last time, then turned around and boarded the carriage without looking back, and said to the driver: "Let's go!"

"I'm afraid you won't be able to leave today!"

At this time, there was a burst of playful laughter from behind the carriage.

Li Mao's complexion changed, he recognized Xiao Jie's voice, panicked for no reason, and hurriedly said to the coachman: "Don't worry about it, leave quickly!"

The groom didn't dare to disobey, and immediately flicked the reins, the carriage barely moved forward a few steps, and dozens of Qilin guards rushed out in front of them in an instant, holding swords in their hands and blocking the road, blocking the carriage's way.

Li Mao knew something was wrong, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and get out of the carriage, pretending to be calm, and smiled at Xiao Jie and Zhao Ming: "His Royal Highness Qi Wang, Captain Zhao, what do you mean? Why did you bring someone to stop you?" The path of grass people."

Zhao Ming smiled and said nothing, but cast his eyes on Xiao Jie, meaning that all of this was Xiao Jie's intention, and their Qilin Guards were only here to help.

Xiao Jie took a few steps forward, smiled lightly, and said, "Since Gu brought someone to look for Mr. Li, I naturally want to ask you a few words."

Li Mao naturally knew that Xiao Jie brought someone to stop his car, so it would never be as simple as asking questions, but since he is white, it is not easy to play tricks on Xiao Jie, so he had to laugh dryly and said: "Your Highness, just ask, the grass people must know Nothing to say, nothing to say."

Xiao Jie looked calm, smiled slightly, but his words were startling: "Gu just wanted to ask Mr. Li why he sent someone to kill Tang Heng, the owner of Tang Ji Mi Xing."

Li Mao never expected that Xiao Jie's question would be so blatant and straightforward. He couldn't help but twitched, and his face instantly became a little unnatural, but he continued to pretend to be calm and said with a dry smile: "Caomin doesn't understand what His Highness means. Caomin and that Tang Heng has no vengeance, why would he send someone to kill him?"

Li Mao's denial seems to have been expected by Xiao Jie. He didn't talk nonsense. He took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve, shook them in front of Li Mao's eyes, and said with a sneer, "This is Tang Heng who sent someone before he died." The things I gave to Gu clearly stated that he was ordered by you to hoard and hide food in Jiaozhou, drive up food prices, and create turmoil, which is not good for Gu. He is willing to come forward and report your Li family. I hope Gu can send someone to protect him..."

"Impossible, this is fake, the letter he wrote to you has been burned..."

Li Mao was startled and angry at the same time, he slipped his mouth and said the last thing he should have said, but he soon realized that he had slipped his words, shut his mouth hastily, and looked at Xiao Jie in horror.

It's no wonder that Li Mao, Zhang Erlang was the person that their Li family placed next to Tang Heng to monitor Tang Heng for them. It was Zhang Erlang who told him that he not only took Tang Heng's life with his own hands, but also burned Tang Heng to death. The letter he wrote to Xiao Jie earlier confirmed that all the threats had been eliminated, so Li Maocai assuredly sent someone to kill Zhang Erlang as well...

But now Xiao Jie actually took out the letter Tang Heng wrote to him again, Li Mao couldn't believe it anyway, and said something he shouldn't have said in a moment.

With a smile on Xiao Jie's face, he smiled at Zhao Ming who seemed a little stunned in the distance: "Captain Zhao, you heard it just now, it seems that this Mr. Li is inseparable from Tang Heng's death."

After all, Zhao Ming was also from the Qilin Guard. He hadn't seen any scenes before, so he quickly recovered, stepped forward, and smiled at Xiao Jie: "Your Highness, Mr. Li speaks so loudly, so naturally I can hear it clearly."

Seeing Xiao Jie and Zhao Ming singing together, Li Mao knew that there was no room for redemption, so he gritted his teeth and said loudly: "I admit that I sent someone to kill Tang Heng, and I have some business grievances with him. , I was not angry for a while, so I sent someone to kill him. One person did the work and the other was responsible. All of this was done by me alone, and had nothing to do with the Li family. As for the letter he wrote to His Highness, it was just to slander our Li family and take revenge I, Your Highness, don't trust his nonsense."

Xiao Jie smiled slightly: "Right and wrong, I believe Captain Zhao will send someone to investigate and find out. If it is true that everything has nothing to do with your Li family, Captain Zhao will return your Li family to be innocent, but if it is true like your Li family Regarding, I believe Captain Zhao will also report on the facts."

After saying that, Xiao Jie handed the letter in his hand to Zhao Ming, and said with a smile: "Captain Zhao, when it comes to investigating the case, I am naturally not as good as you Qilin Guard, so I will leave this case to you."

Zhao Ming couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the words, knowing that Xiao Jie wanted to give him a great favor.

Hoarding food, driving up food prices, creating turmoil, framing the prince, killing people, which one is not a felony enough to cause a sensation in the court, if he really solves the case, such a great contribution is enough to transfer him away from this bird. Jiaozhou, returned to the capital to work.

What's more, now that Li Mao has confessed to the murder, and Xiao Jie has given him such important physical evidence, it is simply a great achievement for nothing.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely investigate this matter to the bottom, and I will never fail Your Highness's trust." Zhao Ming cupped his hands and bowed heavily to Xiao Jie, his eyes full of gratitude.

Xiao Jie smiled without saying a word, but inadvertently cast a cold glance at Li Mao.

Li Mao shivered for no reason, feeling a very ominous premonition in his heart.

Maybe he will become the eternal sinner of the Li family in Longxi.
