Chapter 124 - 124 The Li Family?

124 The Li Family?

“When the head of the family was alive, he ordered many treasures in my name. Now, the debtors are after me for this debt. I really can’t repay the debt. Please help me!”

With that, Su Niang kowtowed to Kong Rui.

This time, Kong Rui wasn’t shocked by Su Niang’s actions. She just looked at Su Niang quietly, as if thinking about something. After a while, she asked, “What treasures did your family head order?”

Su Niang was stunned by this question. After a while, she took out a few pieces of paper from her lapel and handed them to Kong Rui.

After Kong Rui took a look, she couldn’t help but feel shocked.

She said to Su Niang, “Leave this with me first. I’ll think of a way to help you resolve it. Go back and rest bow!”

When Su Niang heard Kong Rui’s words, she immediately revealed a pleasantly surprised expression and kowtowed to Kong Rui a few times. “Thank you, Master, for saving my life again!”

Kong Rui waved her hand and asked Su Niang to go back first. Then, she instructed, “Take good care of Tong Sheng. Don’t let them find him!”

Hearing Kong Rui’s words, Su Niang immediately nodded with a determined expression. “I will!”

Su Niang left the room and closed the door tightly.

Only then did Chao Bai walk out of the room. He glanced at the closed door and asked, “Why are you helping her? You know very well that she’s lying to you!” Chao Bai snorted unhappily.

He could clearly see the scheming look in Su Niang’s eyes. He didn’t believe that Kong Rui didn’t notice it!

Kong Rui handed the papers to Chao Bai. “I’m not sure if what she said is true, but these things should be true!”

Chao Bai leaned over to take a look and saw that the few pieces of paper were actually the purchase records of a few Dharma artifacts. Most importantly, Kong Rui had seen one of the Dharma artifacts in the Li family’s home!

In other words, the man backing Su Niang was actually from the Li family?

A Li family member who suddenly died…

Su Niang was actually the mistress of the second elder of the Li family?

Wouldn’t that mean Tong Sheng was a descendant of the Li family?!

Kong Rui didn’t expect this world to be so small!

Before Kong Rui could finish marveling, Chao Bai raised another question. “Didn’t you notice that the demonic energy on Tong Sheng seems to have condensed a little more?”

“What?” Not understanding what Chao Bai meant, Kong Rui was stunned for a moment.

“When I happened to see him today, I realized that there seemed to be demonic energy surging in his body again.” Chao Bai explained his discovery.

This time, Kong Rui really didn’t know what was going on anymore. As she sat on the chair, she gripped the papers tightly with both hands. After a while, she said, “It seems that the Li family really has a lot of secrets!”

All the evidence that could expose the Li family’s secret gathering of demonic energy and the use of harmful array formations to revive the dead had appeared in front of Kong Rui. If she didn’t take action now, wouldn’t she be wasting such a good opportunity?

Kong Rui’s eyes darted around and she immediately came up with a plan.

…

“How are the princess’s injuries?!” When she saw that Wen Qiong’s injuries didn’t improve, the queen was so angry that she threw everything in front of her to the ground.

All the spiritual doctors knelt in a row in Wen Qiong’s palace, but none of them dared to make a sound.

The queen looked at the group of trembling people in front of her with an even angrier expression. “What a bunch of useless things! Keeping you guys is simply an embarrassment to the empire!”

As the queen spoke, she ordered people to drag these spiritual doctors away and behead them.

The spiritual doctors immediately cried and begged the queen for mercy. At this moment, Nie Yin appeared outside the palace.

He walked up to the queen and bowed before saying, “Your Highness, you can’t kill these spiritual doctors!”
