The three major families in Dongdu, although the head of the family may not have a bright mind, and there are not many visionaries in the family, but in terms of size, they are indeed considered a big family.

But now, the originally busy courtyard has become a place where everyone talks about it, and there are countless dead bodies in the magnificent courtyard. The sky-high blood is lingering in the courtyard, and the air is full of disgusting fishy smell.

Xu He led a dozen or so arresters, holding their noses, and nervously probed into the Lin family's mansion, one of the three families. As soon as they stepped inside, the scene of mountains of corpses and sea of ​​blood rushed towards them, making several arresters with less seniority turn around and retch.

Even those experienced guards felt their stomachs churning continuously when they saw this hellish scene of Shura.

Dongdu has been peaceful for too many years. In the past, even a thief was considered a major case. Now that a family of hundreds of people has been slaughtered to this point, how can they not be alarmed.

"Search separately to see if there are any clues."

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Xu He gave instructions to the people under his opponent, and he also took the lead and searched in the direction of the main house.

In the main hall of the front yard of the Lin family, Xu He found the dead body of the head of the Lin family without accident. Before the death, the eyes of the other party were as big as copper bells, full of horror and disbelief.

Xu He leaned over to check the opponent's injuries, he was killed by the extremely domineering palm force, not only him, but everyone else in the hall also died under this palm.

After careful inspection, Xu He couldn't help being shocked. With such terrifying martial arts, he might not be able to deal with such a master, and even a hundred arresters from the Yamen of the Eastern Capital might not be his opponent.

"damn it."

Cursing inwardly, Xu He suppressed the anger in his eyes, and he left the hall, where several policemen came here one after another.

"Xu Tou, there are no survivors in the north garden, and thirty corpses have been found."

"Xu Tou, I found two servant girls in the west courtyard, but they were scared out of their wits. When I asked them, they were talking nonsense, as if they were out of their minds."

"Xu Tou, east side"

A group of his subordinates quickly told Xu He about the investigation of the entire mansion. He frowned, and after pondering for a long time, he said, "Bring the living people back to the yamen, so that they can take care of them. We will question them after they calm down."

"Understood." All the arresters responded quickly.

At this moment, another arrester hurried over from outside. He came to Xu He and said in a deep voice, "Xu Tou, the rest of the arresters have already searched the Liu family and the Fang family. The situation is not optimistic."

"I see."

Xu He waved his hand, then nodded to the names of the two policemen, and told them: "You two stay, stay outside and don't let irrelevant people in, and the rest, follow me to Huo's house."

"Yes!" After everyone responded, a group of people went to Huo's house in a mighty manner.

Xu He came to ask this time, not because he had any prejudice against the Huo family, a former power in the rivers and lakes. The three families suffered, and the Huo family was the obvious beneficiary. He calculated logically that this matter may not have nothing to do with the other party.

But when he reached Huo's house, Xu He was stopped by someone.

The doorman Ah Qi said with a serious expression: "My lords have invited you. The Patriarch is currently dealing with important matters and has no time to see guests. Please go back."

"Bold!" A catcher stood up and shouted sharply: "We are ordered to investigate the case, and there is an order from the governor, what right does your Huo family have to stop us!"

Another arrester said in a dark voice: "Does the Huo family think that Dongdu is also a land of rivers and lakes, and you can let you do whatever you want? Or, the Patriarch of the Huo family has ghosts in his heart and dare not come out to answer?"

There was a lot of commotion in the yamen. At this moment, outside the Huo family, there were already many good people around. They all stretched their necks to watch the excitement. When they heard what the arrester said, the crowd immediately exclaimed.

"Your official, please be careful!" Ah Qi was a little annoyed, and he argued: "There are many family affairs, and the shameless sneak attack of the three families today requires the head of the family to come forward to deal with it. At this moment, the head of the house has no skills to do so, so he really has no time to come forward. Everyone, please come back later."

Ah Qi's stern refusal made Xu He's face darken a little bit. He could see that this guard was not an arrogant person, and the meaning expressed by the other party was more like helplessness after consciously giving in.

This superior attitude made Xu He almost immediately believe that this person hadn't figured it out at all, the Huo family was no longer what it used to be, and likewise, Dongdu was not outside the Northwest Great Wall.

In the past, when the Huo family was in the northwest, such an attitude was unavoidable. The mountains were high and the emperor was far away. Even the local government might not dare to confront Zhujian Villa head-on.

But at this time and at that time, the Eastern Capital is an important town of the imperial court, and its prosperity is not inferior to that of the two capitals. The major case here is even handed over by Mr. Fu Yin himself, so there is no room for him to bargain with the Huo family.

Xu He immediately showed the token of the yamen, and said righteously: "Master Fu has an order to investigate the tragedy of Lin and Liu Fang's three families, and to grant this chief arrester the right to summon the people of all families in the Eastern Capital. The Huo family is also in the Eastern Capital. Therefore, this chief arrester will tell you again and immediately ask Huo Yunqi to come out, otherwise—"

Before Xu He could finish his sentence, the policeman behind him showed his unkindness, bright and sharp lights flashed, and most of the knives were out of their sheaths at their waists.

Ah Qi was startled, although with his martial arts, except for the captor Xu He in front of him, he didn't take anyone seriously, but it was far from a simple matter of martial arts strength to confront the court officials.

However, Ah Qi, as the guard of Huo's family, was only in contact with the affairs of the Jianghu. Faced with this situation, the only solution he could think of was to hold on to the end, even if Hengjian was on the spot.

After all, in the logic of Jianghu, when bad customers come to your door, compromise will only bring about intensified oppression, and you have to earn face by yourself, and it is never possible to ask for it in a humble manner.

"The head of the family is involved in affairs, my lord, please come back later." Ah Qi remained firm in the end.

"You..." Xu He's eyes gradually turned cold, his hand holding the saber was slightly clenched, and all the arresters in the rear were full of murderous looks, and if they disagreed with each other, they would draw their swords for a fight.

At the critical juncture, Huo Yunqi finally appeared.

"Ah Qi, stand down! Don't be rude to adults!"

Huo Yunqi's expression was a little nervous. In fact, when Xu He and his party came to the door, he heard the news and never showed up. It's just that he also had some unrealistic fantasies in his heart.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, but it's a pity that the Huo family lived up to its prosperity. Similarly, the Yamen of Dongdu is not a timid person.

Seeing that the conflict was about to break out, Huo Yunqi finally stopped probing, and immediately appeared to stop the confrontation.

"Mr. Huo, I have long admired your name." Xu He slowly let go of the hand holding the knife, and he smiled on the surface, which made people look a little difficult to get close to.

"My servant is rude, I'm neglecting you adults, please come inside." Huo Yunqi turned sideways to get out of the way, lowering his posture, which was completely different from Ah Qi.

"Oh..." Xu He glanced at Ah Qi, then at Huo Yunqi, and led the person into the door.
