When Li Tuizhi rushed to the mansion of Qu Yongjie, the leader of the Imperial Army, it was almost midnight, but such a big thing happened in the capital, Qu Yongjie naturally couldn't sleep. It happened that when Qiu Zhi came to visit today, the two old friends made a few exquisite side dishes and drank small wine, while discussing the assassination that would cause a sensation in the capital tomorrow.

When he heard the servant report Li Tuizhi's visit, Qu Yongjie's face looked extremely ugly. Could it be that Li suspected that he was doing it? Yes, he lost to Li Qing in a fight, and it was very ugly, but who is he? What he lost on the battlefield will be taken back from the battlefield. How could he dare to do such a thing as a rat and a dog?

With a bang, Qu Yongjie stood up suddenly, "It's too much."

The waiter of Lanting, Qiu Zhi, grabbed Qu Yongjie, "Wait, maybe there is something else."

Qu Yongjie sneered: "At such a time, I happened to meet Li Qing being stabbed. Do you think there is anything else?"

Just as he was angry, Li Tuizhi was coming slowly, Qu Yongjie was angry, "Shouning Hou, are you here to arrest me?" He glanced at Li Tuizhi with a sneer on his lips. The servants of Qu's house were already surrounded by anger.

Li Tuizhi looked at Qu Yongjie in surprise, and in a flash he understood the other party's misunderstanding, and said with a smile: "What is Commander Qu saying? Tuizhi is about to accuse Commander Qu. He disturbs him late at night. Please don't blame him for any disturbances."

Qu Yongjie's face was slightly relaxed, "What did you do with such a big deal in your Li family? You didn't help you in the house, but you ran to me for what?"

Li Tuizhi smiled and said, "There is an old man in the mansion, so I can only run errands. Today, I came to your mansion, but I wanted to invite Lanting Hou to come to the residence. I was originally from Lanting Hou Mansion, but when I heard that Lanting Hou had come to the leadership of the throne, I had to come over and disturb me."

"Please wait for Lanting?" Qu Yongjie was stunned, "What's the matter if you ask Lanting wait for this time?"

Li Tuizhi's smile remained unchanged, "Old man's instructions, I, who is a son, dares to talk too much."

Qiu Zhi was shocked and wondered, "Get out, what happened? Why did the old man ask me to go there so late?"

"I don't know much about this. Mr. Hou knows that what the old man has to do, and I have never told us juniors. Mr. Hou, you see that it's getting too late, so we won't disturb Commander Qu. How about it, Mr. Hou is still waiting to talk to you!"

Seeing the two of them leaving their family, Qu Yongjie frowned and suddenly shivered. Thinking of something, he couldn't help but murmur: "No way, right?"

The Li family's Weiyuan Hou Mansion was brightly lit and under high alert. The constables and soldiers from Luoyang Mansion and the Inspection Department lined up along Juxiang Street, and everyone's face was very serious. These people knew that if the murderer could not be found as soon as possible, then each of them would be very likely to be lost because of this incident.

When Li Tuizhi and Qiu Zhi arrived at the Hou Mansion, they happened to meet Wei Yuanhou and came to the gate. Qiu Zhi, who had come out of the car sedan, saw the servant beside Wei Yuanhou twisting a tied man. It turned out to be his stepson Qiu Degong. He was shocked, "Mu Zhi!" he shouted.

Li Muzhi, who was about to step into the gate, saw Qiu Zhi, couldn't help but smile bitterly, turned around and bowed, saying, "Father-in-law, you are here."

Qiu Zhihan pointed at Qiu Degong with a face, "What's going on?"

Before Li Muzhi could answer, Qiu Degong, who was tied up strongly, shouted, "Dad, help! Help!"

A trace of disgust flashed across Li Muzhi's face and said to Qiu Zhi: "Father-in-law, please come inside, my father is waiting for you!"

Qiu Zhi stared at Li Muzhi, feeling a little bit wrong. Could it be that this matter is related to his rebellious son? But he still knows how much Qiu Degong is. He can't set up such a big battle in assassinating Li Qing. Moreover, can he have the courage?

"Degong, what did you do?" he roared.

"Dad, I did nothing, I knew nothing. They pulled me out of the bed, tied me up and left, Dad, help me!"

Qiu Zhi felt a little relieved and said in a deep voice: "What are you shouting? I'll embarrass me. You're afraid of anything you didn't do. My dad will make the decision for you."

"Master Hou, please come in!" Li Tuizhi said softly. Qiu Zhi snorted coldly, striding heavily but walked inward. At this time, if he still didn't understand the intention of Li Huaiyuan finding him overnight, wouldn't he be a fool? Duke An Guo, you are really bullying others!

When he walked to the inner hall, he saw Li Qingzheng sitting on the chair with his eyes closed, while Li Huaiyuan was standing in front of an Eight-Nuo Crossbow with his hands on his back, squinting his eyes, as if he wanted to see a flower from above. Seeing Lanting waiting in, Duke An Guo smiled and said, "In-law, come and see, how about this Eight-Nuo Crossbow?"

Qiu Zhi snorted, and was about to have an attack, but his eyes swept across the Eight Niu Crossbow. He was stunned and rushed to the crossbow frame and wiped his eyes, as if he thought he was confused before.

The Eight-Number Crossbow has been around for a while, and it is a little different from the Eight-Number Crossbow that is commonly used in the army now. For old soldiers, it can be distinguished at a glance. The current Ordnance Department no longer produces this Eight-Number Crossbow. Although it is old, it is well maintained. The entire crossbow frame is painted with tung.

"This, isn't this my eight-ox crossbow?" His voice trembled a little.

An Gongguo's eyes lit up, "In-law, are you reading it wrong?"

Qiu Zhi was a little weak at this time, and he felt that his voice was sometimes far and sometimes near, as if he was not making it. "It's not wrong, this is mine." He pressed his hand on the crossbow frame and a very old knife wound.

"Yes, I also remember that in Ningyuan Fort, the barbarian attacked the city, and the Eight-Number Crossbow was chopped, leaving this scar." Li Huaiyuan's finger gently slid across the old wound, "Later we drove the Barbarian down the city. After the war, you put away the Eight-Number Crossbow and said you wanted to be a souvenir. Later, this crossbow was always in your mansion, right?"

Qiu Zhi's head was stiff and he nodded with great difficulty.

"Today, it was the Baniu Crossbow that launched an attack on Li Qing. Of course, there were nearly twenty powerful crossbows." Li Huaiyuan pointed to the dozen scattered crossbows on the side of the Baniu Crossbow. "Some of them have been found out that they are from our Li family, and some of them have to let you see if they are from your Qiu Mansion."

"This is a foul, this foul!" Qiu Zhi murmured to himself. He turned his head suddenly and looked at Qiu Degong who was taken in. Qiu Zhi hissed and shouted, "Damn it, you did a good thing." Qiu Degong's face was gray, and he held the last glimmer of hope and shouted, "Dad, I didn't do it, I don't know. I don't know what happened?"

Li Huaiyuan sneered on his face, "What did Qiu Xuezhong go out of the city late at night? Qiu Dezhi, do you still want to deny it? Tell you that before dawn, Qiu Xuezhong and the Tianying Gang will kneel in the yard outside the hall. Don't you tell me?"

Qiu Degong collapsed on the ground, and the last glimmer of hope was shattered, "Dad, I was wrong, help me, brother, brother, save me!" He was squirming on the ground, trying to climb to Qiu Zhi, Qiu Zhi sighed, his face pale, he took a step back, and fell on the chair.

"How did these powerful crossbows in my Li family get to your hands?" Li Huaiyuan's voice was very small, but he was filled with a sense of aggressive pressure that made people dare not say anything. Qiu Degong, whose mind was broken, was soft on the ground like a pool of mud. "It was my sister who gave it to me and brought it to my sister." Speaking of this, a light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he shouted like a drowning man caught a straw. "It was my sister who asked me to do it, it was her. I took the powerful crossbow. Everything was planned by my sister. I just did what my sister said, spare my life!"

"Shut up!" Qiu Zhi jumped up, bent down and picked up an eight-ox crossbow arrow from the ground, and then penetrated it into Qiu Degong. This was just a stepson. He could adopt another one after he died, but Qiu was his daughter. Now, Qiu Zhi understood everything. It must be his daughter who secretly planned everything. He used Qiu Degong's hatred of Li Qing to make Qiu Degong come forward and find a group of desperate people to assassinate him.

With a sound, Li Qing, who had been sitting firmly, bounced up and stretched out his hand. The knife in his waist had appeared in his hand, holding the crossbow arrow that Qiu Zhi inserted, "Mr. Hou, I haven't figured it out yet, why should I kill someone so quickly?"

Qiu Zhi closed his eyes and slowly retreated step by step.

"Bring big grandma." Li Huaiyuan ordered lightly.

Qiu was soon brought by several old mothers. Seeing everything in the inner hall, she immediately realized that everything had been completely exposed. Her face was pale, but she stubbornly raised her head and stared at Li Qing hatefully. "Your life is so great that it won't kill you."

"Ying'er, you, you're so stupid. How can you do such a thing?" Qiu Zhi said heartbrokenly.

Qiu's eyes swept across the people in the hall. Li Qing's eyes were full of murderous intent, his father's eyes were full of worry, his husband's eyes were full of regret, but his father-in-law's eyes had no feelings, and he was deeply immersed in his sky.

"Yes, I did it, so what?" Qiu suddenly shouted hysterically and pointed at Li Qing. "Since this bastard, there has been no Ansheng in the mansion. He finally left. After Ansheng for a few years, he didn't expect that he would come back again. He was shameless and came back. Since he came back again, that little girl Wen Huan felt that she was amazing. Your Li family all flattered Li Qing, for fear that he would not recognize you. I'll kill him and see what can you do?"

Li Qing stood up suddenly, his eyes were full of anger. This woman was simply unreasonable. He had never thought about fighting for something or robbing it. Why did he fight to rob it? He was too lazy to talk anymore. Suddenly he felt that it was a mistake to return to the Li Mansion. If he didn't come back, how could these brothers who followed him die so unclearly and worthlessly.

With a choking sound, he pulled out his knife, strode to Qiu Degong, who was slid on the ground in everyone's astonished eyes, and picked him up, "Dog bastard, wait until you reach the underworld and go to make a cow and horse for my brother to redeem your sins!"

Looking at Qiu Degong's eyes full of fear, Li Qing slowly inserted the knife into his chest one by one, and blood was about to come out, splashing the river on Li Qing's chest. Li Qing's face remained unchanged and stared at Qiu Degong's eyes that were gradually losing their spirit.

No one in the hall expected that Li Qing suddenly started to kill someone. Seeing Li Qing's murderous eyes looking at Qiu, they couldn't help but shivered.

"No, don't kill my mother!" A voice sounded at the door of the inner hall. Li Feng ran in like crazy, stood in front of Qiu, spread his arms, and blocked Qiu.

Li Qing relaxed his hand, and Qiu Degong slid to the ground. Facing Qiu, Li Qing took a slow step. This step was not big, but it seemed to step heavily into the hearts of everyone.

"Qing'er!" Wei Yuanhou's face looked extremely ugly and he shouted. Li Tuizhi took a step back, reached out to cover his mouth, and swallowed the scream that reached his mouth. Li Huaiyuan's eyes were still empty.

"General Li!" Qiu Zhi finally reacted and rushed to Qiu's face with several big strides, "Ying'er did something wrong, I, Qiu, will compensate you, but please don't make things difficult for her."

"Compensation?" Li Qing sneered coldly, pointing the long sword with bloody dripping towards the yard, "Lanting Hou, you go and ask me those dead brothers, what compensation do they want?"

"It's just a few personal soldiers, and you haven't suffered any major injuries. General Li, why should you be aggressive?" Lanting said.

"Fart!" Li Qing suddenly became furious, "My brothers did not die in the border, nor were they dead in the hands of the brutal barbarians. They crawled out of the pile of dead people and followed me to the capital. They actually sacrificed their lives for the matter of falling down the dog's skin. If I don't kill the culprit, how can I be worthy of their spirit in heaven?"

"Brother!" Li Feng suddenly knelt down on the ground, walked to Li Qing's knees, hugging Li Qing's legs, "Brother, don't kill my mother. If you want to kill you, kill me. I will atone for my mother!"

Li Qing bit his lips tightly and let Li Feng shake his legs desperately. The blood from the knife fell on Li Feng's body bit by bit.

Qiu Zhi looked at Li Qing nervously, "General Li, I beg you!" His tears finally fell, "I only have such a daughter. You see, I had bloody killing enemies at the border in my early years, but I don't have a few days to live, so spare Ying'er!" He knew that Qiu Ying's life and death today depended entirely on Li Qing's words. At present, the only Duke of Anguo who can stop Li Qing, Li Huaiyuan, obviously has handed over the right to deal with the matter to Li Qing.

Li Qing closed his eyes, and with a sound of intent, the knife in his hand fell to the ground, turned around and walked out of the inner hall with great force. Li Feng then breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, hugged Qiu Ying and cried.

"Let's do it. From today on, Mrs. Qiu will live in the inner courtyard and will not leave. The matters in the waiting mansion will be presided over by Mrs. Wen." Li Huaiyuan said.

"Thank you, Duke!" Qiu Zhi bowed to Li Huaiyuan gratefully. He thought that Qiu's lightest would be relieved, but he could not have the result in the end.

Li Huaiyuan sighed, "In-laws, how happy we were to kill the enemy side by side back then? I didn't expect that we would be old, alas?" The two looked at each other and sighed.

Li Qing, who walked out of the inner hall, looked up at the sky and vomited out the turbid air from his chest. He looked at the crowd kneeling in the yard in black and said to Yang Yidao: "The people who have taken action will be killed, and the leaders of the Feiying Gang will be killed. All the others will be handed over to the inspection department!"

After saying all this, Li Qingmai walked across the courtyard with heavy steps. He felt too tired, not only his physical fatigue, but his heart was even more tired.
