This is definitely a big handle!
Duke Liu forced the beloved daughter of Minister Wang of the Court of Judicial Review to her death... He kidnapped her and forced her to her death in order to obtain her body!
Whether Miss Wang preserved her innocence before her death is unknown.
If Lord Wang knew about this, he would definitely fight Liu Guogong to the death.
Moreover, this is enough to punish Liu Guogong!
"Tell me the address of the house."
Xiao Yu's voice was icy cold, showing no excitement at having found a weakness in Liu Guogong; instead, he was extremely angry.
Driven by their own selfish desires, powerful figures like Liu Yan have caused the deaths of countless innocent people.
"Let me go, and I'll tell you..." Liu Quan said weakly.
He had already betrayed his younger brother, Duke Liu. If he were to reveal the address of his residence to Xiao Yu, he would truly be a fish on the chopping block.
You have no choice.
Xiao Yu glared at him and said, "Even if you don't tell me, I can still find out... There should be many kidnapped women in Liu Yan's houses, right? I just need to follow him secretly, and I can still find them."
"And if you don't cooperate with me, then there's no need to keep you alive!"
"I'll talk, I'll talk!"
Liu Quan was caught in a dilemma and could only put on a mournful face and say, "Although I am not a good person, I have always admired the Xiao Prince's Mansion. You can't go back on your word!"
"I have said that my promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold."
Xiao Yu said impatiently.
"Then...I believe you!"
Liu Quan seemed to be persuaded again, but dared not refuse, so he could only resign himself to his fate and say, "Liu Yan has a total of seven houses in the capital, three of which are used to hide women."
Seven houses?
Houses in the capital are incredibly expensive, and this scoundrel has embezzled so much of the people's hard-earned money... Xiao Yu thought to himself.
"These three houses are all located in the east of the city, about a quarter of an hour's walk from Baoyue Tower."
Subsequently, Liu Quan told Xiao Yu the exact addresses of all three houses.
"I will send someone to investigate."
Xiao Yu nodded, then asked, "How many lives have been lost in these three houses?"
Given Liu Yan's status and position, he had many ways to find women... He could go to Baoyue Tower, take a concubine, or keep a mistress.
However, all of these require spending money, and quite a lot of money.
Brothels are cheap, but Liu Yan would never go to such a low-class place.
Therefore, Liu Yan imprisoned the beautiful woman he had kidnapped in his private residence and had her guarded.
Once he's had his fill of this woman, he'll sell her to the brothel... During this process, there will definitely be many "disobedient" and "uncooperative" women.
Like Miss Wang, they may have chosen to commit suicide by banging their heads against a wall in despair, or they may have been killed by Duke Liu in the process of resistance. These are all possibilities.
Upon guessing these things, Xiao Yu's face turned gloomy and ugly.
"I don't know... who, who remembers these things?" Liu Quan stammered.
"Oh!"
Xiao Yu let out an angry gasp and said coldly, "Because you don't value their lives, no one remembers them! You don't even treat them as human beings; they're just tools for you to vent your desires and make money!"
These malicious acts were not necessarily committed by Duke Liu alone.
Yang Niannian was rescued by Xiao Yu from Liu Yunfei... Therefore, Liu Quan and Liu Yunfei, father and son, must have done this kind of thing quite a few times.
"Whoosh!"
With a flash of light, Liu Quan's right ear fell to the ground, covered in blood.
"Aaaaaaah!!"
With both ears cut off, Liu Quan let out a shrill scream.
The next instant, Xiao Yu used the hilt of his knife to smash Liu Quan's mouth, shattering all his teeth.
"puff!!"
Liu Quan spat out a mouthful of bloody teeth, his mouth full of blood, and he was in so much pain that he couldn't even scream.
Only then did Xiao Yu's anger subside somewhat.
He then stuck the knife into the ground and left the secret room.
"Please let me out after you've verified everything!"
Liu Quan shouted incoherently, his mouth full of blood, and he gasped in pain with every word he uttered.
Xiao Yu didn't speak, and didn't even turn his head.
From the very beginning, he had no intention of letting Liu Quan go; his so-called promise was just empty talk.
Xiao Yu never talks about loyalty to his enemies. Those words he just said were just to extract useful information... Once Xiao Yu has verified those three houses, he will naturally kill Liu Quan.
"None of these wicked people will survive."
Xiao Yu walked out from a rockery in the courtyard.
This artificial hill is the entrance to the underground secret chamber, hidden in a very secretive way. Apart from Madam Xiao and Xiao Yu, only a few elders like Xiao Zhan know that the entrance to the basement is here.
"Your Highness."
Xiao Zhan, who was guarding outside, hurriedly bowed when he saw Xiao Yu come out.
"No need for such formalities."
Stepping outside into the bright sunshine, the gloom in Xiao Yu's heart finally dissipated somewhat.
He continued, "Send a few trustworthy brothers, skilled in combat, to help me investigate something. Remember to disguise yourselves and don't alert the enemy!"
Afterwards, Xiao Yu told Xiao Zhan the addresses of the three houses.
"yes!"
Xiao Zhan nodded and then went to carry out the order.
I wonder how much Young Fish knows about the background of Baoyue Tower?
Previously, Xiao Yu had only asked her who was behind Baoyue Tower. Shen Youyu mentioned several major shareholders, one of whom was Duke Liu.
Then, Xiao Yu didn't ask for any more details... After all, he had already redeemed Shen Youyu from her servitude, and Xiao Yu thought that his feud with Baoyue Tower was over.
Now that these things have happened, Xiao Yu decided to ask about the details again, because only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle!
Back in the room.
The room contained not only Shen Youyu, but also Yang Niannian.
"Juro."
“Brother Xiao Yu”.
Upon seeing Xiao Yu return, the two women hurriedly came to greet him, their faces showing concern. They both wanted to ask if Xiao Yu had obtained any useful information.
"Shiro, did you find anything?"
Shen Youyu asked.
She did not let Yang Niannian leave.
Although the girl is now Shen Youyu's maid, after learning about the relationship between Da Sha, Yang Niannian and Xiao Yu, Shen Youyu began to treat Yang Niannian as a younger sister.
"I learned a lot."
Xiao Yu chuckled and gently stroked Shen Youyu's pert nose with his finger, saying, "With my wife, this lucky star and general, by my side, I feel like I have divine assistance. Liu Quan has already told me about the Duke of Liu's weaknesses..."
"What leverage?" Shen Youyu asked curiously.
Yang Niannian remained silent, but her beautiful, dark eyes were fixed on Xiao Yu, awaiting his reply.
"Want to know?"
Xiao Yu leaned closer and said with a grin, "Give me a kiss, and I'll tell you!"
