Like to jump? Then jump in the underworld.

Ye Liuyun stopped in front of a residence with a plaque that read "Sheng Residence".

"Is this the place?"

Looking at the several Brocade Guards standing outside, it was clear that someone had already taken over the case.

Ye Liuyun led his men directly over.

As for those blocking the way, Ye Liuyun directly took out his Centurion token.

"Centurion!"

The several Brocade Guards guarding the outside, preventing people from entering casually, immediately saluted respectfully after seeing Ye Liuyun's token and obediently moved aside.

There were many corpses lying in the courtyard, all of them maids and servants.

It felt a bit like a revenge killing. If it was only targeting Sheng Li, there would be no need to harm these maids and servants.

Just as Ye Liuyun was about to lead his men into the residence.

A familiar voice, tinged with mockery, reached the ears of Ye Liuyun and the others.

"Oh, isn't this Centurion Ye Liufeng?"

The person who arrived was Lu Quan, whom Ye Liuyun had dealt with not long ago.

Lu Quan didn't seem surprised by Ye Liuyun's appearance; the smile on his face became even more unrestrained.

"I'm sorry, Centurion Ye, I've taken this case. I can't let you just walk in."

He must have known who the deceased was, which was why he said that deliberately.

Ye Liuyun didn't answer. He looked at Lu Quan as if he were looking at some clown, ignored him, and continued walking towards the back courtyard.

"Centurion Ye! You..."

Lu Quan originally intended to continue blocking Ye Liuyun's path.

But before he could finish speaking, Ye Liuyun raised his hand and placed it on Lu Quan's shoulder. With a slight push, he sent him tumbling to the ground.

He was as weak as a girl.

"Ye Liufeng, you're incredibly bold!"

His backer was dead, and he still dared to be so arrogant.

Having lost face in front of so many people, Lu Quan shrieked in a sharp voice.

He got up, intending to continue blocking the way.

But this time, Ye Liuyun didn't need to say anything. Shi Sheng directly blocked Lu Quan's path, raised his fist, and waved it.

"If you dare to block my lord's path again, I'll beat you to death!"

After saying that, he gave Lu Quan a provocative look and continued to follow Ye Liuyun.

A Centurion like himself was actually threatened by a Banner Officer in public. Lu Quan's face turned green and then purple.

But he really didn't dare to continue blocking the way.

Because Lu Quan knew that with a blockhead like Shi Sheng, whose head was full of nothing but fists, he truly had the guts to attack him in public. The most crucial point was that he might not even be able to defeat Shi Sheng.

In the backyard, Ye Liuyun successfully saw Sheng Li's corpse. He looked elderly, with white hair, and was still wearing his official robes when he died.

There were many large and small wounds on his body, suggesting he had been tortured before his death.

To dare to lay hands on someone from the imperial court within the Imperial City, even if Sheng Li had already retired, the person capable of such a deed must either be powerful enough or hold a sufficiently high position and authority.

"Centurion Ye!"

Just then.

Lu Quan's footsteps had caught up.

Seeing Ye Liuyun staring intently at Sheng Li's corpse, Lu Quan felt the knot of frustration in his heart dissipate considerably.

How about that? Feeling anxious now? Without Sheng Li as your backer, let's see how you'll get by in the Brocade Guard.

"How about it? Now you know the consequences of offending Chieftain Wan, right?"

Saying this, Lu Quan deliberately leaned close to Ye Liuyun's ear and whispered.

"Without a backer, let's see how you hold onto this Centurion position."

After speaking, Lu Quan directly motioned for his men to search other areas.

Looking sideways at Lu Quan's retreating figure, Ye Liuyun's eyes narrowed slightly.

So, it was Chieftain Wan's side that made the move?

Originally, Ye Liuyun was quite indifferent to this Lu Quan. If he liked to jump around, let him jump. He could just treat it as watching a clown show.

But if you directly start being disgusting, that's different.

"Sir!"

At this moment, Si Nan and Shi Sheng both looked over.

Although Lu Quan's voice was soft just now, they weren't far away and naturally heard it.

Ye Liuyun didn't plan to waste words and immediately ordered.

"Before sunset tonight, no matter what method you use, I want that Lu Quan out of the Imperial City."

He had originally planned to wait for Lu Quan to leave the Imperial City on his own.

Since you like to jump so much, I'll give you a ride. Go jump in the Underworld.

"Understood!"

Si Nan was more quick-witted. Seeing Ye Liuyun's expression, he immediately understood the meaning and didn't hesitate at all. "This subordinate will go and handle it now."

After speaking, Si Nan turned and left.

As for Shi Sheng, he still hadn't fully reacted.

But seeing Si Nan leave, he stood stunned for a moment, then also ran after him.

"My lord, I'll go help too!"

Ye Liuyun calmly watched Si Nan and Shi Sheng leave for a moment, then looked at Lu Quan not far away, whose expression was filled with smugness.

Ye Liuyun really disliked trouble.

Instead of worrying about others playing tricks, it was better to directly eliminate those who could play tricks from the very beginning.

Whether Sheng Li lived or died, Ye Liuyun was quite indifferent. After all, he didn't know him. In this era, people died every day, so why couldn't the one who died be this Sheng Li?

As for his background and so on.

With Ye Liuyun's strength, he didn't have to worry about his Centurion position being affected at all.

As for being promoted to Chieftain.

Even if Sheng Li were alive, he wouldn't be able to help Ye Liuyun advance further in his official position.

But if you're clearly targeting me, that's different.

Ye Liuyun just continued to watch for a while, then led his men away.

On Lu Quan's side, he glanced at Ye Liuyun and the others leaving, and the smile on his face became much more unrestrained.

He didn't realize at all that disaster was about to strike him.

Si Nan was very efficient.

That night, he directly kidnapped Lu Quan's youngest son. It must be said that although this method was a bit crude, it was unexpectedly effective.

"My lord, you can rest assured. I've already investigated thoroughly. Lu Quan dotes on his youngest son the most. I left a letter in advance, so he will definitely come alone."

In a patch of woods not far from the Imperial City.

Si Nan pointed at the child, who looked fourteen or fifteen years old and was tied to a tree, and said proudly.

Although his mouth was gagged, the eyes of Lu Quan's youngest son were full of venom, staring intently at Ye Liuyun and the others in front of him.

To avoid complications, besides Ye Liuyun, only Si Nan and Shi Sheng were present.

After exchanging glances with such venomous eyes, Ye Liuyun's expression was indifferent as he withdrew his gaze.

"Well done!"

He praised.

Using a child to threaten someone sounded quite despicable, but after personally killing his cheap elder brother, Ye Liuyun had no intention of being a good person.

To achieve one's goal, one should stop at nothing.

Isn't that a matter of course?
