Chapter 34 Inquiry
  However, on this day, Lu Yuan had not yet officially started the practice of refining the Qi.

afternoon.

"What, people from Jingwu Division came to us and Master to question the situation?"

After hearing the news, Lu Yuan, who was called to Li Junxian's courtyard, frowned:
  "What are they looking for us for? Do they suspect that Kundu's death is related to us?"

Xu Erhu's expression was slightly solemn:
  "I don't know. Maybe someone around Kundu knows that he has a grudge against us, so he came to ask. The methods of Jingwusi and others are much better than those of the government, so we have to be more careful."

Xu Dahu didn’t care:
  "What are you afraid of? Kundu will kill himself if he does unjust things. He has nothing to do with us at all. How can they still call black things white?"

Li Junxian stood as steady as a rock and slowly stood up from the wicker chair:

"Okay, let's go and have a look with our master."

Lu Yuan said no more and immediately followed Li Jun out of the back garden and came to the front garden arena.

The grand arena was empty at the moment. When they came to the side hall in the corner, they saw Protector He Xiong and three strong men with muskets and knives at their waists and embroidered wolf costumes waiting inside.

As soon as he saw Li Jun and others coming in, He Xiong immediately stood up and introduced:
  "This is the general manager of our backyard. Li Jun is preceded by Uncle Li. These three are his apprentices Xu Dahu, Xu Erhu, and Lu Yuan. Uncle Li, these three are official servants of Jingwu Division. They said they have something to inquire about."

"Manager Li, I have long admired your name."

Among the three officials, the first man with a stern face stood up and said:

"My officer is Yu Xianting, the captain of the Jingwu Division. I came here to see Manager Li today to find out some information."

Only martial arts masters at the level of bone-forging in the Third Realm can serve as the captain of the Jingwu Division, and their status is definitely not low. Li Jun first raised his hand to signal:
  "Captain Yu, please take a seat. We have always obeyed the law and abided by the law. I wonder what happened to us?"

Yu Xianting glanced at Lu Yuan and the other three people with sharp eyes:
  "I wonder if Mr. Li has heard that Kundu, the eldest son of General Fengen's mansion, had his throat cut and killed in his house the night before yesterday?"

Li Jun nodded first:

"This matter has caused quite a stir, so naturally I have heard about it. It is said that after the murder, the murderer left the name Qingyi Guest on the wall. This behavior is really lawless and arrogant."

"That's true"

Yu Xianting also sighed casually, and then changed the topic:
  "However, I heard from the guard leader of General Fengen's Mansion that the three disciples of General Manager Li seem to have some grudges against Mr. Kundu?"

Xu Dahu’s eyes changed first:
  "What does Lieutenant Yu mean by this? What grudges can the three of us have against him?"

Yu Xianting glanced at him and said slowly to Li Jun:

"The Jingwu Division is not as good as those in the yamen. I have learned that four months ago, Kundu brought a Mongolian slave to participate in the competition, and was beaten to death on the stage by Lu Yuan, the apprentice of Manager Li;
  This incident made Mr. Kundu quite dissatisfied, so the next month he found another contestant to compete in the theater, hoping to regain his face. He never thought that the player he had found would be defeated by your apprentice Lu Yuan again, and he lost nearly two hundred silver dollars in prize money.

These two incidents made Mr. Kundu and your three apprentices completely hostile. One night just two months ago, the three of them were attacked by gunmen and seriously injured. Li Hongda, the head of the Yamen, came after receiving the report. Later, you claimed that this might be Kundu's revenge on you, and asked Mr. Li to investigate. Is this true? "

Yu Xianting explained the matter clearly in a few words, and it was obvious that he had conducted detailed investigation.

Li Junxian, however, looked calm and said calmly:
  "Yes, there is such a thing. However, we only had suspicions at the time and there was no substantive evidence. Did Captain Yu think that my three apprentices were retaliating afterward? General Fengen's mansion has a prominent position, and the three of them were just playing the game It's hard to make a living in the theater, haha, who has the guts to take revenge on Kundu. Moreover, the three of them have been recovering from their injuries for two months since the last attack. How could it be related to this matter?" Xu Dahu was also slandered. Ye Qu said:
  "Captain Yu, who can sneak into the general's mansion and slit Kundu's throat quietly, why does he have to have bone-forging level of martial arts? You must think too highly of us. If we have such ability, how can we do it? Are you still fighting here?"

Yu Xianting was noncommittal and said calmly:
  "Of course you don't have this kind of ability, but Mr. Li is said to have been a veteran of the Qinglong Gang, so his martial arts level must be more than just bone forging, right?"

Li Junxian suddenly narrowed his eyes:
  "Having been doing this for a long time, Captain Yu is doubting me, an old man who is half buried in the earth? I haven't made a move for a long time since I came to this theater. If I had to, Kundu would never die like this. , I’m afraid you’ve suspected the wrong person.

And as far as I know, Kundu is notorious in the East City area. With what he did, it is not surprising that he offended some jealous master and was assassinated by him? "

Yu Xianting looked like an eagle, staring straight at Li Junxian, and then said expressionlessly:

"Mr. Li, don't think too much. I am just making a routine inquiry, and I will naturally find out the truth later."

Then, he asked some more questions. After Li Jun answered first, he stood up:
  "Thank you for your cooperation. I may come here again to bother you in the future. I will take my leave."

After saying that, Yu Xianting casually cupped his hands and walked away with his two men.

"This bastard"

But after the other party left, Xu Dahu suddenly showed a worried expression:
  "Master, does he really suspect that you are the murderer?"

"Those who can become captains are all capable people. It's normal to have doubts. If you don't have any doubts at all, you are no different from a waste like Li Hongda."

Li Junxian smiled lightly and said:

"But this matter is indeed not done by Master, so there is no need to worry. Master has some connections in Fengyang Mansion for so many years, and even Jingwu Si cannot arbitrarily frame it without evidence."

No matter what kind of business you do these days, it's impossible to make it big without supplying money to some powerful people.

Like Bo Xiyuan, it is not entirely owned by Li Junxian and the Qinglong Gang. There are also affiliates of several powerful figures from Fengyang Mansion in it.

It is precisely because of these layers of interconnected interests that we can guard against the overt and covert attacks of other wolves.

Xu Dahu and Xu Erhu both relaxed after hearing this and nodded repeatedly.

Lu Yuan remained calm on the surface, but he felt a little regretful in his heart:

"This seems to be self-defeating."

In fact, he did not expect that Jingwusi's investigation would first suspect Li Junxian.

Although there is no evidence about Yu Xianting, his master is obviously someone with a different identity and experience in the past. If he is investigated in depth, it is hard to say whether there will be a risk of his identity being exposed.

Li Jun has been very good to him for more than half a year, so Lu Yuan will naturally not sit back and watch this happen.

Fortunately, as his thoughts were spinning rapidly, he quickly thought of a perfect solution, his eyes flashing slightly:
  "If that's the case, there should be no problem."
