128: The tenth son of Emperor Tianqi, Xia Mingqing!

He Yan saw Lu Xuan's confusion and quickly explained.

"His Highness Prince An is Emperor Tianqi's tenth son, Xia Mingqing!"

"His Highness Prince An's fiefdom is in Qingling Prefecture, An Prefecture."

Emperor Tianqi!

Lu Xuan was naturally not unfamiliar with this name after hearing it.

The previous Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty had mysteriously died over a decade ago.

Afterward, the throne of the Great Xia Dynasty was inherited by Emperor Tianqi's eldest daughter, Xia Mingyue.

When he first heard this news, Lu Xuan couldn't help but admire Xia Mingyue.

It was truly rare for her to contend for and secure such a high position as a woman!

As for Qingling Prefecture, Lu Xuan didn't know much; he only knew that Qingling Prefecture was the first prefecture in An Prefecture, the central hub of An Prefecture.

The State Duke of An Prefecture's residence was located in this so-called Qingling Prefecture.

Prince An...

Lu Xuan fell silent, no longer interested in speaking.

He was waiting for the results from those outside.

If the other party hadn't acted against his Family, then Lu Xuan could consider letting go of this Baidao Prefecture Tongpan.

Otherwise, even if Luo Jinghe had this so-called Prince An as his backer, Lu Xuan would still deal with Luo Jinghe.

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan calmed himself, sat back down in the main seat, closed his eyes to rest, and quietly awaited the outcome.

Compared to Lu Xuan's composure, He Yan seemed somewhat uneasy.

After half an hour, Su An's figure appeared outside the door, walking in swiftly.

Lu Xuan opened his eyes and saw Su An holding a piece of paper covered in text.

Su An slightly lowered his head, bowed to Lu Xuan, who was seated in the main seat, and then spoke with a sense of satisfaction.

"Mystic Envoy, those few people confessed!"

When it came to interrogation through torture, their Blackbird Guard still had some confidence.

If the person refused to speak, they would continue to use torture, tormenting him until he did.

Moreover, the most skilled doctor in the entire Fu City was also here.

If those being interrogated didn't speak, they would be beaten and treated simultaneously.

Facing the paper Su Mu handed over, Lu Xuan reached out and took it, then carefully read the text on it.

After a few breaths, Lu Xuan had already finished reading the contents.

After a round of severe torture, the five men dared not conceal anything further and revealed everything directly.

These individuals even disclosed their wrongdoings in Qingyun County without reservation.

However, these few people did not get to the main point.

As for whether Luo Jinghe had acted against Lu Family Pharmacy, they were completely unaware.

It seemed they also didn't know their master's intentions.

In Lu Xuan's deep eyes, a flash of light inadvertently flickered.

He gently tossed the paper in his hand, and it fluttered in the wind in mid-air.

In an instant, the paper in the Void Realm was engulfed by a crimson flame, then turned into black ashes, scattering on the ground.

Su An was greatly shocked by this astonishing method.

He Yan, however, was accustomed to it; this Mystic Envoy's methods were too profound and unfathomable, even he still couldn't comprehend them.

Especially a few days ago, the Mystic Envoy from Jingtai Prefecture, who had the same status as Old Li, actually paid a visit.

Lord Mo's humble attitude utterly astonished He Yan, making it hard for him to believe.

Lu Xuan naturally wouldn't let go of these few people who dared to extort Lu Family Pharmacy.

"Go down. I don't want too many people to know about this matter. Deal with them!"

Su An understood Lu Xuan's meaning.

"Yes, Mystic Envoy!"

As Su An left, Lu Xuan looked at He Yan again and slowly said,

"Deputy Envoy He, you will secretly monitor Luo Jinghe for me until I return from Lanshan County."

"If there's any news about Lu Family Pharmacy, inform me immediately!"

Lu Xuan didn't care what kind of powerful background Luo Jinghe had.

Any factor detrimental to the Lu Family, Lu Xuan would eliminate without hesitation.

What is Lu Family Pharmacy?

He Yan was full of questions upon hearing this name.

However, He Yan didn't wonder for too long; he remembered something.

Before Old Li left, he had told him that this Mystic Envoy was named Lu Xuan and came from Qingyun County.

Lu Family?

Lu Xuan?

Could this be the Mystic Envoy's origin?

Upon recalling this information, He Yan inwardly cursed.

That damned Luo Jinghe, he wouldn't be thinking of acting against Lu Family Pharmacy, would he?

However, before He Yan could respond, Lu Xuan's figure gradually blurred, finally disappearing from under He Yan's eyes.

"The Mystic Envoy's methods are truly unbelievable."

He Yan looked out the door, sighing from the bottom of his heart.

Lu Xuan's movement speed was so fast that even he, a Martial Artist of the Inner Qi Realm, couldn't clearly see it.

If the Mystic Envoy wanted to take his life, he probably wouldn't even have time to defend himself.

"Luo Jinghe!"

After softly muttering the name, He Yan also followed behind Lu Xuan, leaving the main hall and heading straight for Luo Jinghe's residence.

It was truly a first for a Martial Artist of the Inner Qi Realm to secretly monitor a mere Tongpan, a Martial Artist of the Blood Refinement Realm.

Lanshan County!

A central main street was surprisingly deserted, with most of the surrounding shops closed.

At a glance, on this street, which was tens of meters wide, only a few small shops were open.

However, the shop owners all wore tense expressions, looking very afraid.

Normally, this street would have been bustling with an endless stream of people coming and going.

All of this was due to a bizarre and terrifying murder case that occurred a few days ago.

At the end of the street, there was a large mansion.

The mansion's large red wooden gate was tightly sealed with official government seals.

In front of the mansion's gate, various incense burners were placed, with unburnt incense sticks still in them, seemingly for worship.

The owner of this mansion was one of the most famous wealthy gentry in Lanshan County, the manager of Ren Family Bank.

However, a few days ago, everyone in the Ren Family, from top to bottom, had mysteriously died.

Regardless of gender, age, or even livestock, all had perished overnight.

It was said that the bizarre manner of death even scared one of the Yamen Runners and constables senseless.

Once this rumor spread, the merchants and pedestrians on this street fled in fear, daring not to set foot there.

Now, the only people remaining on this street were those with greater courage.

The daylight gradually faded, even before dusk.

The few shops that were still open immediately closed their doors and left the street with fearful and terrified expressions.

Outside Lanshan County, just as the city gate was about to close.

In the distance, a swift horse, like the wind, streaked across the sky, galloping towards the Lanshan County city gate.

Once the horse entered Lanshan County, the young man on its back scanned his surroundings.

The person who arrived was Lu Xuan.
