Starting as The Young Master of A Pharmacy, He Trained Swordsmanship in Seclusion For Twenty Years - Chapter 128

Seeing Lu Xuan’s confusion, He Yan quickly explained.

“His Highness Prince An is the tenth son of Emperor Tianqi, Xia Mingqing!”
“This Prince An’s fiefdom is located in Qingling Prefecture, An Province.”

Emperor Tianqi!
Hearing this name, Lu Xuan was naturally familiar with it.

The previous emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, who had mysteriously passed away over a decade ago.

Afterwards, the imperial 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 feel some admiration for this Xia Mingyue.

For a woman to seize the highest position was truly remarkable!

As for Qingling Prefecture, Lu Xuan didn’t know much about it. He only knew that it was the top prefecture in An Province, the central place of An Province.

The residence of the Provincial Governor of An Province was located in this so-called Qingling Prefecture.

Prince An……..
Lu Xuan fell silent, losing interest in further conversation.

He was waiting for the results from the interrogations outside.

If the other party had not taken action against his family, then Lu Xuan could consider letting this Baidao Prefecture Tongpan off.

Otherwise, even if Luo Jinghe had this so-called Prince An as a backer, Lu Xuan would still eliminate him.

Thinking this, Lu Xuan settled his mind, 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 a short while, Su An’s figure appeared outside the door, striding in briskly.

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

Su An bowed his head slightly, saluting Lu Xuan who sat in the main seat, then spoke with a tone of satisfaction.

“Commander, they’ve confessed!”

When it came to extracting confessions through torture, the Xuan Bird Guard had some confidence. If the other party wouldn’t talk, they would just keep using harsh torture until they did.

Moreover, the best physician in the entire prefectural city was also here. If those being interrogated refused to talk, they would be tortured while simultaneously receiving treatment.

As Su An offered the paper, Lu Xuan reached out and took it, carefully reading the contents.

After a few breaths, Lu Xuan had finished reading.

After being severely tortured, the five men didn’t dare hide anything anymore and confessed everything directly. They even spoke without reservation about their misdeeds in Qingyun County.

However, these men hadn’t gotten to the crucial point. They seemed completely unaware of whether that Luo Jinghe had taken action against the Lu Family Pharmacy.

It seemed they were also unaware of their own master’s plans.

A sharp glint flashed imperceptibly in Lu Xuan’s deep eyes.

He lightly flicked the paper in his hand, letting it flutter in the air.

In an instant, the paper was enveloped by a crimson flame in mid-air, then turned into black ashes that scattered onto the ground.

Su An, seeing this awe-inspiring method, was greatly shocked inwardly. He Yan, however, was accustomed to it; this Commander’s methods were too profound and unpredictable for him to comprehend even now.

Especially a few days ago, when the Commander from Jingtai Prefecture, who held the same rank as Old Li, came to visit. That Lord Mo’s humble attitude simply astounded He Yan, making it hard to believe.

As for these individuals who dared to extort the Lu Family Pharmacy, Lu Xuan naturally would not let them off.

“Dismissed. This Commander does not wish for many to know of this matter. Deal with them!”

Su An understood Lu Xuan’s meaning.
“Yes, Commander!”

As Su An left, Lu Xuan looked at He Yan and spoke slowly.
“Vice-Commander He, keep an eye on that Luo Jingha for me in secret, until I return from Lanshan County.”
“If you hear any news regarding the Lu Family Pharmacy, inform this Commander immediately!”

Lu Xuan wouldn’t care what kind of powerful background this Luo Jinghe had.
Any factor threatening the Lu family, Lu Xuan would eliminate without hesitation.

Lu Family Pharmacy?
Hearing this name, He Yan was full of questions.

However, He Yan didn’t remain confused for long; he remembered something. Before Old Li left, he had told him that this Commander’s name was Lu Xuan, and he was from Qingyun County town.

The Lu family?
Lu Xuan?

Could this be the Commander’s origin?

Upon realizing this, He Yan inwardly cursed.
That damned Luo Jinghe, he wouldn’t be planning to move against the Lu Family Pharmacy, would he?

But before He Yan could respond, Lu Xuan’s figure gradually blurred and finally vanished right before He Yan’s eyes.

“The Commander’s methods are truly unbelievable.”

He Yan looked towards the door, sighing with genuine feeling. Lu Xuan’s movement speed was so fast that even he, an Inner Qi level martial artist, couldn’t follow it clearly.

If the Commander wanted to take his life, he probably wouldn’t even have time to defend himself.

“Luo Jinghe!”

He Yan murmured the name softly, then followed suit, leaving the hall and heading straight for Luo Jinghe’s residence.

Having an Inner Qi level martial artist secretly monitor a mere Tongpan, a Tempered Blood level martial artist, was certainly a first.

Lanshan County Town!
On a central main street, it was unexpectedly deserted. Most of the surrounding shops were tightly closed.

At a glance, along this street dozens of meters wide, only a few small shops were open.

However, the shopkeepers all wore tense expressions, looking very afraid.

Normally, this street would be bustling and lively, with a constant stream of people.

All of this was because a bizarre and terrifying murder case had occurred a few days ago.

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

The main red wooden gate of the estate was sealed shut with official seals.

In front of the estate gate, various incense burners were placed, with unfinished incense sticks still smoldering, as if making offerings to something.

The owner of this estate was one of the most famous wealthy patrons in Lanshan County town, the manager of the Ren Family Money House.

But a few days ago, the entire Ren household had unexpectedly died suddenly.

Regardless of men, women, old, young, or even poultry and livestock, all had died overnight.

Rumors said that the bizarre manner of death had even scared one of the constables and bailiffs senseless.

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

The people remaining on this street now were those with relatively strong nerves.

The daylight gradually faded, though it wasn’t yet dusk.

The few shops that were still open immediately closed their doors, their owners leaving the street with fearful, panicked expressions.

Outside Lanshan County town, just as the city gates were about to close.

From the distant horizon, a steed swift as the wind swept across the sky, galloping towards the gates of Lanshan County.

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

The newcomer was none other than Lu Xuan.
