The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 464
The turmoil in Jinglan Court did not affect the whole mansion, and it was a peaceful night.

The next day, when Cui Quan came back from the palace, Bai Qi followed him into the study and reported to him what happened last night.

Cui Quan was a little angry: "What happened last night, why did you wait until now to report it to me?"

"My lord calm down."

Bai Qi apologized first, and then explained: "Yesterday was too late, you have to attend the court meeting early this morning, and my subordinates dare not disturb your rest.

"Besides, this subordinate wants to interrogate the assassin first, and report to you after the results come out."

Cui Quan's anger subsided slightly: "What's the result of the interrogation? Can he be recruited?"

".No." Bai Qi's face was ugly. This was the first time he couldn't pry a person's mouth open: "This person is a tough guy. No matter how I torture him, he won't open his mouth and say"

Seeing him hesitating, Cui Quan said impatiently: "What did he say?"

Bai Qi lowered his body and pressed his forehead to the ground: "He said he wanted to see the Duke."

Cui Quan was stunned, a person who assassinated his granddaughter dared to see him?
This is the first time I have seen such a bold assassin.

Cui Quan was aroused and ordered: "Go and bring him here."

Therefore, Bai Qi personally escorted him to the study, and protected Cui Quan with Liu Yang on the left and right, while the other guards stood outside the door, and they would rush in as soon as the people in the room shouted.

The gray-clothed man kneeling on the ground had his hands and feet tied, his hair was disheveled, covering half of his face, his body was covered with welts, blood was still flowing from the wound, and he looked horrific.

Cui Quangao sat on the chair and asked dignifiedly, "Who are you? Why did you kill my granddaughter? Who sent you here?"

"Ah--"

There was a chuckle in the room, and the man in gray slowly raised his head and looked at Cui Quan: "Don't the Duke recognize me?"

Although there was hair covering half of his face, Cui Quan changed his face immediately when he saw the other half of his face: "You are not."

"I'm not dead." The man in gray answered his unspoken question.

Unexpectedly, when Cui Quan heard this, his face darkened: "Since he is not dead, why did you come back? Did you assassinate my granddaughter for revenge?"

"Of course not, I just want to protect Lin'er."

"Then why did you kill my granddaughter?"

"I"

The man in gray was about to say something, but when he saw Bai Qi and Liu Yang, he changed his words immediately: "Does the Duke really want to reminisce about the past with me like this?"

He moved his bound hands, signaling Cui Quan to look over.

Cui Quan glanced at his hand, then looked at Liu Yang: "Go and guard outside, let the people outside retreat."

Bai Qi was worried, and reminded Cui Quan in a low voice: "Master Guo, he has very good martial arts."

"It's okay, step back." Cui Quan looked calm.

Seeing this, Bai Qi and Liu Yang walked outside the door, dismissed all the guards outside, and then guarded the door one on the left and one on the right.

Liu Yang stood expressionlessly, with a straight body, seemingly serious about guarding the door, but actually listened carefully to the conversation inside with his ears up.

After burning incense, the door opened, Bai Qi and Liu Yang looked inside at the same time, but they saw a man in gray clothes, they were shocked.

Liu Yang made a move subconsciously, trying to arrest someone, but Cui Quan's voice came from the room.

"Let him go."

Liu Yang froze for a moment, then stepped aside.

"He can't go."

At this time, Cui Yongxuan appeared and ordered to Bai Qi and Liu Yang: "Catch him."

Liu Yang and Bai Qi didn't move, they looked into the room.

"What are you still doing? Didn't you hear my order?"

Seeing their delay in moving, Cui Yongxuan turned livid with anger, glared at them, and arrested them himself.

However, a frail scholar like him is no match for the man in gray. Even though the man in gray was injured, he caught Cui Yongxuan as soon as he made a move.

"Ah, pain, pain, let me go." Cui Yongxuan bared his teeth in pain, and then scolded Bai Qi and Liu Yang: "You two bastards, why don't you come and save me?"

The two were about to move when Cui Quan came out from the study: "Let him go."

Hearing this, the man in gray let go of his hand, said "Farewell" to Cui Quan, and strode forward.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Cui Yongxuan grabbed him and said, "Don't leave."

Then he said to Cui Quan: "Father, he assassinated Yuanniang, how can you just let him go? At worst, you have to send him to Jingzhao Mansion."

As soon as he heard that he was going to be sent to see the official, the gray-clothed man's expression changed suddenly, and he twisted hard, and then he broke free from Cui Yongxuan's grasp.

Seeing this, Cui Yongxuan pounced on him again, and firmly grabbed the man in gray: "Who are you? Why did you kill my daughter?"

"Let go." The man in gray looked fierce, as if he wanted to eat people.

Cui Yongxuan trembled subconsciously, and stepped back, but the next moment, he withdrew his steps, tightly tugged on the gray-clothed man, and bravely looked at him: "Don't let go."

The man in gray raised his hand, using his palm as a knife, and slashed towards Cui Yongxuan.

"Luo Wu!" Cui Quan yelled in desperation.

The gray-clothed man called "Luo Wu" froze, his palms in mid-air.

Bai Qi and Liu Yang had already started to act when Luo Wu started, but Liu Yang was stunned when he heard Cui Quan's name, and Bai Qi caught Luo Wu first.

Liu Yang calmly stepped forward to help.

"Father--"

Cui Yongxuan hurried to Cui Quan's side, still in shock: "Father, did you see that he not only wants to kill your granddaughter, but now he is also killing your son in front of you, you can't let him go."

After finishing speaking, he scoffed at Luo Wu again: "I tell you, you're done, and if you didn't really recruit, who sent you here?"

This movement attracted the attention of many guards, Cui Quan's face was as black as ink, and he ordered: "Old man, come in for me."

"Yes."

Cui Yongxuan dragged Luo Wu into the study.

Liu Yang didn't dare to go in, so he asked Bai Qi in a low voice, "Shall we go in?"

Thinking of Luo Wu's fierce eyes just now, Bai Qi's heart froze: "Go in."

As soon as Cui Quan turned around, he saw both those who should come in and those who shouldn't come in were standing in the study, and his face became even darker with anger.

"Bai Qi, Liu Yang, take Luo Wu down."

With Cui Quan's order, Bai Qi and Liu Yang quickly grabbed Luo Wu, ready to drag him outside.

Cui Yongxuan blocked their way, pointed at Luo Wu who was at his mercy and said, "He is not allowed to leave, I still have something to ask him."

Facing his unreasonable son, Cui Quan didn't want to make too much noise, and he didn't want his son to conflict with Luo Wu, so he ordered Bai Qi and Liu Yang: "Put Luo Wu up first and wait for disposal."

Fearing that his son would object, Cui Quan spoke first: "I'll tell you what you want to know."

"You know everything?" Cui Yongxuan was a little surprised and was taken aback for a moment.

While his son was in a daze, Cui Quan quickly winked at Bai Qi.

Therefore, Bai Qi and Liu Yang took the opportunity to take Luo Wu away, and closed the door intimately when they went out.

Liu Yang asked in a low voice: "Commander, where is he locked?"

Bai Qi thought for a while: "Let's lock it in the west wing first."

The west wing room is much more spacious and clean than the room where the assassin was interrogated before. Judging by the attitude of the Duke, it should be that Luo Wu is not going to be held accountable for the attempted murder. Presumably, the Duke will be more satisfied with Luo Wu being arranged in the west wing room.

Thinking so, Bai Qi and Liu Yang personally "supported" Luo Wu to the west wing.
