Chapter 670: Next, Who Will Come to Die?

His wife was a daughter of the General's Mansion, boasting a prestigious and long-standing family heritage, far surpassing his own shallow roots.

He married her for the strength and background of the General's Mansion. It was largely thanks to her family's covert assistance over the years that he managed to climb to the position of a city official; therefore, he dared not offend her at all.

Even when frequenting brothels and flirtatiously teasing young women from other families, he went to great lengths to avoid his wife, fearing discovery.

If he angered her family, he feared he might lose his official hat.

Yet he never expected that today Li Xiaobai would have the audacity to publicly reveal all of the unwritten rules that had been present within the Imperial Court for many years, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

Unable to contain the murderous intent in his eyes, he knew he had to apprehend the man before any more explosive information could be revealed!
