Seeing Lu Xuan's confusion, He Yan quickly explained.
"His Royal Highness Prince An is Emperor Tianqi's tenth son, Xia Mingqing!"
"The fief of this Prince An is in Qingling Prefecture, Anzhou."
Emperor Tianqi!
Upon hearing this name, Lu Xuan was naturally familiar with it.
He was the previous emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, who mysteriously passed away more than a decade ago.
After that, the throne of the Great Xia Dynasty was inherited by Emperor Tianqi's eldest daughter, Xia Mingyue.
When Lu Xuan first heard this news, he couldn't help but admire Xia Mingyue.
It was truly rare for her to be able to contend for this supreme position as a woman!
As for Qingling Prefecture, Lu Xuan didn't know much about it, only that it was the top prefecture in Anzhou and the central hub of Anzhou.
The residence of the Anzhou Governor is located in this so-called Qingling Prefecture.
Prince An...
Lu Xuan fell silent, losing interest in continuing the conversation.
He was waiting for the results from those outside.
If they hadn't harmed his family, Lu Xuan could consider sparing this White Path Prefecture's Vice Prefect.
Otherwise, even if Luo Jinghe had the backing of this so-called Prince An, Lu Xuan would still eliminate him.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan calmed down, returned to the main seat, closed his eyes to rest, and quietly waited for the results.
In contrast to Lu Xuan's composure, He Yan appeared somewhat uneasy.
Half an hour later, Su An's figure appeared outside the door, striding in quickly.
Lu Xuan opened his eyes and saw Su An holding a piece of paper covered in writing.
Su An lowered his head slightly, saluted Lu Xuan, who was sitting in the main seat, and then spoke with a smug expression.
"Envoy Xuan, they've confessed!"
The Xuan Bird Guard was quite confident in its methods of extracting confessions through torture.
If the other party didn't speak, they would continue to use torture until they did.
Moreover, the best doctor in the entire prefecture city was also present.
If those being interrogated didn't speak, they would be beaten while being treated.
Su Mu handed over the paper, and Lu Xuan reached out to take it, then carefully examined the writing on it.
After a few breaths, he had finished reading the contents.
After being severely tortured, the five individuals dared not conceal anything and confessed everything directly.
They even confessed to their misdeeds in Qingyun County without holding back.
However, they didn't mention the key point.
They knew nothing about whether Luo Jinghe had taken action against the Lu family's pharmacy.
It seemed they were unaware of their master's plans.
A gleam of light flashed in Lu Xuan's deep eyes.
He lightly tossed the paper in his hand, and it fluttered in the air.
In an instant, the paper was covered by a crimson flame in the void, then turned into black ashes and scattered on the ground.
Su An was deeply shocked by this astonishing method.
He Yan, on the other hand, was used to it. The Envoy Xuan's methods were too profound and unpredictable, and he still couldn't understand them.
Especially since the Envoy Xuan from Mirror Terrace Prefecture, who had the same status as Old Li, had paid a visit a few days ago.
The humble attitude of that Lord Mo amazed He Yan and he could hardly believe it.
Lu Xuan naturally wouldn't let go of those who dared to extort the Lu family's pharmacy.
"Go, I don't want too many people to know about this matter. Take care of them!"
Su An understood and grasped Lu Xuan's meaning.
"Yes, Envoy Xuan!"
As Su An left, Lu Xuan looked at He Yan again and slowly said.
"Vice Envoy He, keep a close watch on Luo Jinghe for me until I return from Lanshan County."
"If anything is mentioned about the Lu family's pharmacy, inform me immediately!"
Lu Xuan didn't care what kind of powerful background Luo Jinghe had.
Lu Xuan would eliminate any factors that were detrimental to the Lu family without hesitation.
What was the Lu family's pharmacy?
He Yan was filled with questions upon hearing this name.
However, He Yan didn't remain confused for long, as he remembered something.
Before Old Li left, he had told him that this Envoy Xuan's name was Lu Xuan and that he came from Qingyun County.
Lu family?
Lu Xuan?
Could this be the Envoy Xuan's origin?
Thinking of this information, He Yan cursed inwardly.
That damned Luo Jinghe, he wouldn't be thinking of targeting the Lu family's pharmacy, would he?
However, before He Yan could respond, Lu Xuan's figure gradually blurred and then disappeared before He Yan's eyes.
"Envoy Xuan's methods are truly unbelievable."
He Yan looked outside and sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Even a martial artist at the Inner Qi Realm like him couldn't clearly see Lu Xuan's movement speed.
If Envoy Xuan wanted to take his life, he probably wouldn't even have time to defend.
"Luo Jinghe!"
After muttering softly, He Yan followed behind Lu Xuan, left the hall, and headed straight for Luo Jinghe's residence.
It was probably the first time that a martial artist at the Inner Qi Realm had been assigned to secretly monitor a small Vice Prefect, a martial artist at the Blood Refining Realm.
Lanshan County!
A central street was unexpectedly deserted, and most of the surrounding shops were closed.
Looking around, only a few small shops were open on this street, which was about several dozen meters wide.
However, the shop owners all had tense expressions and looked very scared.
Normally, this street would be bustling with activity, with a constant flow of people.
All of this was because of a bizarre and terrifying murder that had occurred a few days ago.
At the end of the street was a large mansion.
The mansion's large red wooden doors were sealed shut with official government seals.
In front of the mansion's doors were various incense burners with unburnt incense sticks, as if worshiping something.
The owner of this mansion was one of the most famous wealthy men in Lanshan County, the manager of Ren Family Bank.
However, a few days ago, the entire Ren family had died suddenly.
Whether male, female, young, or old, or even livestock, all had died overnight.
It was said that the bizarre way they died even frightened one of the yamen runners and constables.
Once this rumor spread, the merchants and pedestrians on this street fled in terror, not daring to set foot here.
The people who remained on this street were all those who were relatively brave.
The sun gradually faded, and before dusk arrived.
The few shops that were still open immediately closed their doors and left the street with frightened and horrified expressions.
Outside Lanshan County, just as the city gates were about to close.
In the distance, a steed galloped like the wind across the sky, heading towards the city gates of Lanshan County.
After the steed entered Lanshan County, the young man on horseback surveyed his surroundings.
The person was none other than Lu Xuan.
