128 Danger
Kong Rui explained the style of the few things the second elder of the Li family had instructed people to forge to the girls and waited for them to throw out the bait.
These were all treasures that gathered demonic energy. Ordinary spiritual energy cultivators had no use for them at all. Those who were interested in these things were definitely people who could also gather demonic energy for their own use!
At the same time, they could also detect if someone in the imperial capital was using a Dharma artifact to gather demonic energy!
Kong Rui didn’t intend to take out any evidence to testify against the Li family. After all, the Li family’s status in the capital wasn’t something that could be shaken with just a few documents. However, Kong Rui knew very well that gossip was scary.
As long as the public condemnation was loud enough, the Li family would be exposed sooner or later!
While Kong Rui was scheming, people were being beaten up in the Lei family’s inner courtyard at this moment.
After the Lei family’s elder captured Zi Xuan and brought her back to the Lei family’s home for interrogation, Hong Ling chased after them not long after.
On the grounds that the eldest son of the Lei family had been cruelly killed by her, the Lei family refused to let Zi Xuan go. Hong Ling insisted that Zi Xuan hadn’t killed anyone and wanted the Lei family to hand over the evidence.
Therefore, the two families had been arguing, but they still hadn’t come to a conclusion.
Since they couldn’t negotiate things, they could only resolve it by force.
As a result, the Lei family elder and Hong Ling had been fighting for three consecutive days. They had fought for more than a thousand rounds already, but there was still no winner.
Since the two of them agreed to a fair battle, it wasn’t appropriate for the others to join the fight, so they could only watch the two of them fight from morning to evening every day.
Zi Xuan was tied to a pillar and watched the battle between the two of them. She felt like crying.
What did she do wrong?!
Why did She have to suffer such inhuman treatment?!
When she recalled the day she picked up the leopard’s head, Zi Xuan never expected to bring herself so much trouble!
Who the hell killed the eldest son of the Lei family?!
While the Lei family was fighting fiercely, the second son of the Lei family, Lei Peng, hadn’t appeared in the residence for a few days.
Lei Peng, who wasn’t valued much to begin with, didn’t receive much attention even though he had become the next heir to the Lei family after Lei Aotian’s accident.
His identity hadn’t been officially confirmed yet. Everything could only be determined after finding Lei Aotian’s murderer.
Over the past few days, Lei Peng had been following Fu Jiao around.
When Fu Jiao heard about Wen Qiong’s accident, she discussed it with the family and decided to find some treatment prescriptions to send to the palace to do her part for her family.
However, Lei Peng stopped Fu Jiao. He said that Wen Qiong’s injuries probably were not that simple. Even the phoenix essence couldn’t heal her, so her injuries definitely were not that easy to treat.
Now, the other families, even the Li family, hadn’t done anything. If the Fu family rashly sent treatment, the queen might even suspect their motive. She might even suspect that the Fu family had injured the princess.
Although Fu Jiao felt that Lei Peng was exaggerating things, his words were not completely unreasonable, so she put this matter aside for the time being.
Now, the Lei family was in chaos and the eldest son of the Lei family had suddenly died. Lei Peng, the future heir, became everyone’s topic of conversation. Many people guessed that Lei Peng killed the eldest son of the Lei family to become the heir himself!
Lei Peng had hidden in the Fu family’s home to avoid suspicion and being schemed against!
Because of Lei Peng, the Fu family became suspected by everyone. For a moment, the Imperial Capital seemed to be enveloped by a mysterious power, and everyone from the various families felt threatened.
Only the Hua family, which wasn’t affected by the commotion, was in a different situation.
