Chu Li shook his head as he said, “Co bunch, after all They aren't coht”
The Holy Church of Light would definitely send someone to aid Gu Qi and learn fro over a more powerful martial arts master
The , but they were not coht
If this kill order were to be issued, there would only be less casualties which could harm the Ji Dynasty martial arts world's vitality It would be better not to have it published
Xu Huande piped up “This tih Officials of the i Brothers, so once Gu Qi is caught, they will kill him at all cost”
Chu Li nodded “High Officials of the imperial harem… Has the Emperor ended his Isolated Cultivation?”
Fu Mengshan replied, “It just ended last night If Gu Qi isn't killed, then the Secret Guardians Hall is going to be in big trouble The Emperor is already furious as he said that ere incompetent to have realized the truth too late and co able to arrest Gu Qi earlier!”
As he spoke, he shot a glare at Chen Donghai
Chen Donghai bore a darker look and shook his head
He initially thought this to be a cushy job, and that his first assassination case could be solved with ease
He even secretly hinted at Chu Li to learn his lesson and do his job after receiving money—his hundred thousand silver pieces
In the end, such an enormous mistake had occurred If they were not able to kill Gu Qi, then this could mean the end for his position as a centurion
Chu Li frowned and said, “Hoas Gu Qi so alert?”
“You are not suspecting that there's a snitch in the Secret Guardians Hall, are you?” Fu Mengshan asked
Chu Li shook his head “Not in the Secret Guardians Hall, I'm just worried that there is in other places… Never mind, it's already too late to say this, we have to first kill Gu Qi, allow me to do it!”
“With the four High Officials around, Gu Qi would not be able to escape You still have things to do” Fu Mengshan shook his head and glanced at Xu Huande
Xu Huande handed over a wooden box on the table to Chu Li
Chu Li opened it and found h each letter, he looked at Fu Mengshan “These are Gu Qi's letters, are we going to investigate?”
Fu Mengshan questioned, “To who are most of these letters addressed?”
“High Duke Ji” Chu Li knotted his eyebrows and asked, “You think there's soh Duke Ji, Commander?”
Fu Mengshan sighed “Logically speaking, there's no need to doubt the loyalty of the High Duke's Public House They would never betray the Emperor; our surveillance over them was to ensure that they did not overstep their authorities, ere never worried that they ht rebel”
Chu Li nodded slowly
The High Duke's Public House and the Ji Dynasty Royalty had an interesting relationshi+p that involved inside inforuaranteed the Emperor's absolute confidence in them
However, a person's mind is difficult to predict, no one relationshi+p was unchanging
“What does the Emperor think?” Chu Li inquired
Fu Mengshan shook his head “I haven't reported it to the Eate this privately first You should do it”
Chu Li laughed bitterly “Commander…”
Chu Li was froh Duke Ji was really found guilty, this would er reliable and he, an eneh Duke's Public Houses, would then co
Conversely, if he concluded that High Duke Ji was innocent, it ht also raise doubts in others After all, he cah Duke's Public House, they were birds of the same feather, and they were in the same situation
Xu Huande said, “I know that it's difficult, but you're the expert in this We all believe that you can remain impartial”
If it was some other problem, there were many others besides Chu Li who can do it However, Chu Li had a sharper mind than most of thenificant matter
Chu Li tried to reason “Since the High Duke's Public House isn't going anywhere, this issue is not as ency On the other hand, Gu Qi must be killed, so I'll hunt down Gu Qi first and come back to this later”
He was really reluctant to take over the issue, but from the looks of the two Commanders, he had no choice
