Great Li Martial God

Zhang He, who had been sent flying, covered his face, too frightened to speak.

The man in green clothes hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over, "My lord, this matter can't be entirely blamed on the young master. The Six Doors people have been scheming for a long time. It truly was impossible to guard against."

Gao Changrui slowly calmed his emotions, glared fiercely at Zhang He, then turned his gaze to fall on Guan Shanxue.

After pondering for a moment, he instructed the man in green clothes, "Zhu Zhi, go notify Six Doors and have them come deal with this woman. Let today's matter end here."

Hearing this, Zhu Zhi showed a puzzled expression and asked hesitantly, "My lord, are we just letting this matter go like this?"

"What else can we do? The Seventh Prince is still in the heavenly prison. Right now the Ministry of Revenue is leaderless. Minister still barely manages to hold on only under the pressure from those princes."

Gao Changrui sighed, his face showing deep weariness, "Everything must wait until the Seventh Prince matter is settled. In the current situation, siding with any faction is not a wise move."

Saying this, he looked at Zhu Zhi and patted his shoulder, "We must walk every step carefully. Otherwise, one misstep will plunge us into irredeemable disaster."

"Remember, be more careful with everything in the future. Go now."

Hearing this, Zhu Zhi nodded without saying more and turned to leave. Gao Changrui also didn't linger, immediately walking toward the room's exit.

However, when passing by Zhang He, he viciously kicked him, "Get out of here!"

"Uncle, I was wrong. I'll never speak carelessly again."

Zhang He shrank his head and shouted, crawling and rolling as he ran outside.

However, the moment he turned around, an extremely obscure vicious expression appeared on his face.

...

The Six Doors' main office was located on the central axis of Vermillion Bird Avenue. The main gate had three openings, a total of six doors.

The towering crimson gate tower, the bronze-cast main doors, and the majestic stone lions standing before the gate all revealed a solemn and imposing atmosphere.

Any common people passing by the gate were intimidated and kept a respectful distance.

As one of Great Li's three major institutions directly managed by Emperor Yuanwu, besides catching thieves and investigating criminal cases, Six Doors' more important duty was to oversee martial world sect affairs everywhere.

This also established its important position in both the entire court and the martial world.

Even busybodies in the martial world compared Six Doors to the fifth great sect, after the four great sects...

At this time, before the main gate of Six Doors' office, Ji Feiyun dismounted with a leap and strode inside with large steps.

The constables on duty at the gate all saluted. Zhou Chuan, Guo Ning'er, and the third person quickly followed behind him.

After entering the office compound, Zhou Chuan with his gloomy expression finally spoke in a deep voice, "Boss, I botched this matter. I'll accept any punishment."

Ji Feiyun walked through the front courtyard without looking sideways and waved his hand, "This matter doesn't blame you. If not for Guan Shanxue's interference, you might have already succeeded."

As he spoke, Ji Feiyun entered an office hall within the compound and sat down at a desk.

He quickly wrote a letter and handed it to Guo Ning'er standing before the desk, "Ning'er, take this letter to Manager Lin at the Fifth Prince's manor later."

Then he swept his gaze over the three people before him, "After today's events, that Gao Changrui will certainly be on guard. Don't waste time on him for now."

Saying this, Ji Feiyun pondered thoughtfully for a moment, then turned to look at Zhou Chuan, "Can you help me track someone?"

"Boss, just say who."

Zhou Chuan hurriedly asked. He was skilled in hidden weapons and lightness skills, always an expert at tracking people.

In Six Doors, he even had the nickname "Meteor Flying Legs." Ji Feiyun asking him to track someone naturally valued this skill, and Zhou Chuan also wanted to redeem himself through this task.

"You should have seen that young man beside Cang Yinyue today. The person I'm asking you to track is him."

Ji Feiyun spoke slowly. Zhou Chuan was slightly stunned, seeming not to understand why they should track a completely unrelated stranger.

Ji Feiyun clearly saw his confusion and tapped the table with his finger, "Based on my years of experience at Six Doors, I always feel this person is somewhat unusual. Whether facing Guan Shanxue or me, he appeared too composed."

"I suspect he not only has considerable martial Dao cultivation but also possesses an extremely formidable movement technique."

Saying this, Ji Feiyun shook his head again and smiled, "That said, I'm also doing this for Big Brother Fu's sake. This person of unknown origin suddenly appeared beside Cang Yinyue, and he's so handsome—we must be on guard!"

Hearing this, Guo Ning'er covered her mouth and laughed lightly, looking at Ji Feiyun, "Boss's relationship with Constable Fu is truly like brothers. However, someone as formidable and excellent as Constable Fu is rarely found in the world. I think Constable Cang should know how to choose."

"Hopefully so. I hope she won't do anything foolish."

Ji Feiyun's eyes unconsciously narrowed, then he waved his hand, "Alright, you all go do your tasks."

Hearing this, Zhou Chuan and Guo Ning'er acknowledged and turned to leave the hall.

The remaining large man Cao Po scratched his head and volunteered, "Boss, do you have any tasks to assign me?"

Ji Feiyun stood up from behind the desk, his gaze gradually becoming sharp, "Naturally there's something, and it's no small matter. Come with me to Aurora Pavilion later."

Hearing this, Cao Po's face immediately showed a surprised expression, "Did something happen at Aurora Pavilion?"

Saying this, he shook his head on his own, "But the Tianjin Guards are watching there. The guards are strict inside and out. By rights, there shouldn't be..."

Ji Feiyun sneered coldly. While walking toward the hall exit, he spoke, "Last night in one night, five people suddenly died in Aurora Pavilion. The Tianjin Guards couldn't find the cause, so they handed it to our Six Doors."

"Originally, Divine Constable required Big Brother Fu to make the trip personally, but he's investigating another case and can't get away. This matter fell to me."

Hearing this, Cao Po hurriedly followed, his eyes shifting, "Right now almost the entire imperial capital is watching Aurora Pavilion. If Boss can solve this case, it won't just be a great achievement—you'll probably become famous throughout the imperial capital!"

Hearing this, a gleam flashed through Ji Feiyun's eyes, but he quickly shook his head again, "The Tianjin Guards aren't incompetent. If even they can't handle a case, this matter is probably very complicated."

Just as Ji Feiyun was speaking, the two had already arrived at the office courtyard.

But the next moment, Ji Feiyun suddenly stopped and looked toward the main gate.

He saw two constables hurriedly carrying in a stretcher, and the person lying on it was actually Guan Shanxue.
