"We discovered an anomaly. There is a man in black robe. Every two nights, he will go to Marquis of the Bright Firmament's Residence carrying an exquisite small box."
"Marquis of the Bright Firmament's Residence's guard opened the door directly for him. After this person entered Marquis of the Bright Firmament's Residence, he stayed for about half an hour and then left."
"In order to find out the identity of this person, my subordinates specially arranged for brothers to follow him quietly. After the man in black robe came out of Marquis of the Bright Firmament's Residence, he first walked around in the streets and alleys, deliberately taking several detours, as if to guard against being followed."
"However, the brothers are experienced and are all veterans of tracking. They did not lose track of him and followed him back to a mansion. That mansion is the mansion of Court of Judicial Review Shaoqing Lord Li."
"We compared the body shape and gait of this person and Lord Li, and we can basically confirm that this man in black robe is Court of Judicial Review Shaoqing Lord Li."
Court of Judicial Review Shaoqing? Court of Judicial Review is specifically in charge of prisons.
Why did Court of Judicial Review Shaoqing get involved?
This case is getting more and more interesting.
Su Fei nodded and motioned for him to continue.
This Imperial Guard Hundred Households Officer continued.
"After discovering this situation, my subordinates sent additional manpower to secretly monitor Lord Li's whereabouts. We found that Lord Li would not return directly to his home after leaving work every evening."
"Instead, he will first take a detour to a bank in the Western District of the Imperial City and stay there for more than two hours before leaving. After that, he will either go back to his own mansion or take a box to Marquis of the Bright Firmament's Residence."
"What's even more suspicious is that the security of this bank is extremely tight. There are four strong guards standing at the door all year round. Even at night, there are dedicated personnel patrolling and guarding, which is much more cautious than ordinary banks. My subordinates also tried to send people to pretend to go to the bank to handle business, but were turned away by the guards on the grounds of 'internal rectification and suspension of business'."
"There are various signs that this bank is definitely not simple. I'm afraid there is something hidden inside!"
Su Fei After listening, his eyes narrowed.
Interesting, really interesting!
Su Fei narrowed his eyes, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he already had a decision in his heart.
"Interesting? In that case, let's go meet this Great Thoroughfare Bank person."
Su Fei stood up suddenly and ordered Imperial Guard in front of him.
"Everyone will set off with me immediately to Great Thoroughfare Bank in the Western District of the Imperial City."
"Yes, Sir Commander."
All Imperial Guard responded in unison, their expressions became more solemn, and they immediately followed Su Fei's footsteps and walked quickly outside the house.
Ji Yuyan heard the noise and walked out of the back hall. Looking at Su Fei's hurried away figure, he knew that Su Fei was on a mission again. Although there was worry in his eyes, he did not interfere much.
I just pray silently in my heart for Su Fei to come back soon.
Not long after, Su Fei arrived at the door of Great Thoroughfare Bank with a group of Imperial Guard.
This bank is located next to a relatively prosperous street, and its facade is decorated very grandly.
The four guards at the bank entrance saw a group of Imperial Guard wearing Flying Fish Robe and Spring Embroidered Saber on their waists speeding towards them.
His expression changed instantly, and he subconsciously clenched the weapon in his hand.
Su Fei turned over and dismounted, and ordered in a deep voice.
"Surround this bank and no one is allowed in or out."
"Yes."
The Imperial Guards immediately spread out and quickly surrounded Great Thoroughfare Bank, forming a tight encirclement.
An icy murderous aura instantly enveloped the entire bank, causing people passing by to avoid him and not dare to approach.
Su Fei stepped forward and glanced at the guard at the door coldly.
The four guards looked at each other with hesitation on their faces, but they still stood in front of them.
"Who are you and why do you come to me Great Thoroughfare Bank to be so presumptuous?"
"Presumptuous?"
Su Fei Baihu, who was behind him, took a step forward and shouted sharply.
"Blinding your eyes, this is Commander Imperial Guard, Lord Su, who has been ordered to investigate the case. If you dare to stop me again, you will hinder official proceedings."
As soon as the guards heard the words "Commander Imperial Guard", their faces suddenly turned pale. They no longer dared to stop him in the slightest, and quickly stepped aside to get out of the way.
Su Fei snorted coldly and walked into the bank hall first.
The hall is magnificently decorated, with mahogany tables and chairs neatly arranged, and a large antique porcelain vase placed on the edge.
It's just that it's still morning, no one is there, and it seems a bit deserted.
"Come here, call all the boys and shopkeepers from the bank and gather them in the hall."
Su Fei ordered in a deep voice.
A Imperial Guard immediately took the order, turned around and walked towards the backyard of the bank. Not long after.
Then he escorted several servants and a middle-aged man in a brocade robe with a panic-looking expression out. This man was the shopkeeper of Great Thoroughfare Bank.
The shopkeeper was escorted by Imperial Guard in front of Su Fei. Looking at the group of Imperial Guard who looked like wolves and tigers in front of him, he was trembling with fear. He cupped his hands in fear and asked calmly.
"Masters Imperial Guard, I wonder where you, the young ones, have offended you? We Great Thoroughfare Bank are good, law-abiding citizens and have never done anything illegal."
He rolled his eyes, thinking that Su Fei and others were here to provoke and blackmail him, so he quickly ordered to the boy beside him,
"Come on, hurry up, go to the accounting room and get fifty taels of gold and give it to your lords as tea money. You must entertain your lords well and don't neglect it."
"Bullshit."
Su Fei stared at the shopkeeper with a look of disdain and cold eyes.
"You think I'm here to fight against the autumn wind, and you just want to throw away fifty taels of gold? I'm here today to investigate the case."
He paused and his tone became more severe.
"Come here, search this bank carefully. Don't miss any corner to see if there is anything unusual."
"Yes."
Imperial Guard immediately took the order, spread out, and began to search the bank through boxes and cabinets.
The tables and chairs were pulled apart, the drawers were opened, the account books were turned around, and even the porcelain and antiques on display were carefully inspected.
The shopkeeper stood aside and watched the Imperial Guards searching vigorously. His face was full of distress, but he did not dare to stop him. He could only pray secretly in his heart, praying that no problem would be found.
After a while, the Imperial Guards moved all the searched items to the center of the hall.
Apart from some furniture and account books, there were only a few antique calligraphy and paintings, which didn't look anything out of the ordinary.
Baihu, who led the team, came forward to report.
"Sir, the search has been completed and no abnormalities were found."
When the shopkeeper saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Look at this Lord Su. The younger one said that our bank is innocent and there are no problems. Look now."
"Man, go get the golden ticket."
Su Fei ignored him and frowned.
According to the previous clues, there is definitely something fishy about this Great Thoroughfare Bank. How could there be nothing unusual about it?
He pondered for a moment and activated Celestial Person Realm's unique soul power.
An invisible power of the soul surged out like a tide and instantly enveloped the entire Great Thoroughfare Bank.
