Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife

Chapter 884: Chapter 884: The Eerie and the Ominous!

Below the Jiang Family Ancestral Mansion...

Upon hearing Li Qingmu’s inquiry, Liu Hui’s expression changed once again!

How did he know all of this?

Then, his family really is in danger!

Looking at Liu Hui’s uncertain expression, Li Qingmu said calmly: "Here, everything is decided by me alone."

Liu Hui trembled, and the meaning of these words was that if he said he would kill your entire family, then he would kill your entire family. If he said they could be spared, then they would be spared!

Liu Hui looked at Li Qingmu with a complicated expression, pondered for a while, and said: "Regent King, if I tell you, will you... spare my family?"

"That will depend on your sincerity."

Li Qingmu said calmly, his expression relaxed and casual.

This demeanor instead made Liu Hui feel uneasy in his heart. What did it mean? Had he already found the key to the mechanism of that mausoleum, or was it something else?

Indeed, he should know something, otherwise, he wouldn’t ask him this question.

Liu Hui couldn’t help but lift his head to look at the Regent King before him. His eyes were deep like the starry sky, seemingly capable of drawing in a person’s soul.

How terrifying!

He had heard people say that this Regent King was the best in martial arts across the land. Of course, there might be some exaggeration in that, but now seeing him in person, he felt that this Prince was indeed very frightening.

Facing such an intimidating person, someone whose eyes seemed capable of seeing through deceit, Liu Hui felt that if he lied, he would definitely be crushed, and even his family might suffer as a result.

After a mental struggle, Liu Hui finally recounted everything he knew.

What he said was largely similar to what Jiang Wen had said: the mausoleum below was the Xia Dynasty Imperial Mausoleum from the previous dynasty, containing many treasures, even extremely powerful weapons!

"Prince, I did conceal this matter from above, but I was merely greedy without any intention of treason! I implore you, Prince, in light of my honesty, to spare my family..."

"Boom boom boom!"

As Liu Hui spoke, he knelt on the ground and desperately kowtowed to Li Qingmu.

Li Qingmu stared at him, but his expression was somewhat inexplicably peculiar.

Does this person know how vast the mausoleum below is, and how many terrifying things are inside?

He was truly bold, knowing so little yet eager just for the treasure that might exist inside.

"Do you know how large this mausoleum is?"

Li Qingmu suddenly asked.

Liu Hui was taken aback: "This... I don’t know..."

Seeing Li Qingmu’s frown, he quickly added, "Prince, I truly don’t know! However, as the Xia Dynasty Imperial Mausoleum, it should be large, possibly stretching beneath the entire Liuzhou City."

Li Qingmu said: "I am aware that this mausoleum might span Liuzhou City, Jinzhou City, and Huaizhou City, forming an immensely vast underground tomb!"

"This, this, this..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Hui felt his legs trembling.

This Regent King is a man of action, not fond of flowery words, as evidenced by how straightforwardly he mobilized the army for the capture operation, showcasing his decisiveness.

Whatever someone like him says can definitely be trusted.

Thinking about such a vast mausoleum beneath, Liu Hui felt he was courting death.

This unusual place is too much for someone like him to handle, and a misstep might release eerie and ominous things from the tomb.

Because he remembered the incidents in Huaizhou back in those days, and the matter in Jinzhou.

In Jinzhou, there were incidents of underground eruptions, with volcanic explosions where the emitted gas was all poisonous from tombs, causing many deaths.

Liu Hui had relatives living in Jinzhou, in the Zhujun City of Jinzhou, and there hadn’t been any news from Jinzhou City. It’s likely they have perished.

So, recalling all of this, Liu Hui felt his heart pounding vigorously, sighing with relief that the Regent King had appeared timely to stop them; otherwise, the disaster would not be his alone but would extend to the Liuzhou Main City!

Perhaps even spreading across the surrounding vicinity, potentially destroying the entire Liuzhou State!

"Prince, I was foolish and almost committed a grave mistake!"

Li Qingmu looked at him and nodded gently: "At least you’re aware of the consequences, showing that your humanity isn’t entirely lost. However, how your crime should be dealt with, I think it should be left for His Majesty the Emperor to judge."

"The criminal understands, but my family..."

Liu Hui lifted his head and looked at Li Qingmu, pleadingly and eagerly staring at him.

That’s him seeking how his family’s fate should be handled.

Li Qingmu: "You should have your son write a formal statement, denouncing his parent, and send it to Shengjing."

Liu Hui’s body shook, as having the son personally denounce the father indicated his certain death, but it would also completely extract the family from the situation.

Then the Regent King might say a few words in their favor, and the Liu Family might be spared from this disaster.

This could also be considered a favor to him.

Liu Hui knelt and kowtowed: "The criminal thanks the Regent King for your mercy!"

It’s not so much forgiveness for him as for his family.

Li Qingmu didn’t say anymore, turning away and leaving with Long Yue.

"How was it?"

This naturally referred to whether Liu Hui’s words were true or not.

His expression appeared serious and earnest, but there was no shortage of pretenders in this world. Li Qingmu himself once used feigned fear and lament to kill a few assassins aiming for him. Thus, he still had to be cautious based on his own experience.

Long Yue had come along this time to help him judge the sincerity of this individual.

Long Yue nodded: "He was genuine, with no emotional fluctuations; all he said was true."

"Alright then, I will keep my word; since he was honest, I will spare his family."

If this fellow dared to deceive him, he could wipe out his entire family in minutes later!

Hmm? Wipe out the entire family?

As the thought crossed his mind, Li Qingmu shook his head, feeling like he had been quite irritable recently. Maybe he had too much on his plate and was mentally exhausted?

"What’s wrong with you?"

Noticing Li Qingmu’s unusual expression, Long Yue promptly inquired.

Li Qingmu shook his head: "I’m fine, let’s go, let’s find Jiang Wen!"

Since Liu Hui’s matter had been handled, it was time to deal with the serious business below the Jiang Family Ancestral Mansion: the Xia Dynasty Imperial Mausoleum!

At the inn, Jiang Wen and Ru’er were also paying attention to the recent developments at the government office, knowing that when things there were almost settled, Li Qingmu would certainly come to them.

These days, they hadn’t gone anywhere, quietly waiting.

Even though the order for their capture had been lifted, they still hadn’t gone out.

Perhaps they were just waiting!

Finally, "Knock, knock, knock," the door was knocked; it was Li Qingmu and Long Yue who had come.

Jiang Wen was reading, and it was his wife Ru’er who opened the door. Seeing the two of them, Ru’er’s expression was somewhat complex.

"Greet... Greetings to the Regent King, Princess!"
