After rebirth, she married the prince of the enemy country

Chapter 496 Reasons
Ling Yan really came to eat.

After the dishes were served, he never stopped using his chopsticks, and even praised him from time to time.

On the contrary, Ling Qi was a little restless.

He raised his chopsticks and looked around, only tasting a few dishes in front of him, and spent the rest of the time secretly observing Ling Yan.

I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd.

When it was near the end, Ling Yan was finally full, put down his chopsticks, looked at him with a smile for a while, and then took out a piece of letter paper from his sleeve.

Ling Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, took it, and asked curiously, "What is this?"

"You'll know it when you look at it."

Ling Yan rinsed his mouth, and even if a servant served new tea.

His back is straight, like pines and cypresses in the mountains, clear and light.

The slender fingers twisted and twirled the lid of the cup, not in a hurry to ask Ling Qi to respond.

On the letterhead is the income of the pawnshop under Bailiyu's name over the years, a large part of which has flowed into his private treasury.

Whether it is raising people or making weapons, money is indispensable.

That's all the pawnshop's annual profit, the more Baili Yu swallowed, the less he would use to do business.

Ling Qi had murderous intentions for this person in his heart, but there was no dew on his face.

Thanks to his trust in Bailiyu, now it seems that he has a wolf by his side.

Sure enough, businessmen only care about money.

He put the letterhead on the table and asked with a smile, "I didn't expect the owner of Baili's pawn shop to be so profitable. As expected of a person from Jiangnan, he has first-class business skills."

"I'm curious too," Ling Yan saw that he didn't respond, but he was not in a hurry, "You know I've been investigating the case of Louyue Mountain recently, and Louyue Mountain Villa just checked it out, but I didn't expect..."

"Didn't think of anything?"

Ling Yan chuckled, "I didn't expect Louyue Villa to have many secrets."

He took out another piece of paper from his sleeve, on which a weapon was drawn.

"I sent someone to find the best weapon. This is the picture he drew. The nearby woodcutters died of this kind of weapon."

At that time, he thought of it when he was watching the disciples practicing swords in the villa.

There are no new disciples in Louyue Villa in the past two years, how could sword practice be so unfamiliar, as if they had just learned it for a few days.

So he guessed that the weapons these people usually use are not ordinary swords.

Later, the half-broken sharp weapon dug in the mountain confirmed his conjecture.

Ling Qi looked at it as usual, and said calmly, "According to what you said, the people in Louyue Villa killed these woodcutters, but what is the reason?"

This speculation is too unusual.

These woodcutters pose no threat to Zhuang Zhong's disciples who know martial arts.

Can't you fall in love with the same firewood in the process of chopping firewood, and you can't stand each other, so you move to kill?
"The reason is..." Ling Yan deliberately paused, staring at the person opposite, not letting go of any expression on his face, "These woodcutters found something and were silenced."

Ling Yan tapped the table lightly with his fingers, his voice very rhythmic.

"The woodcutters have lived near Louyue Mountain for generations, and they can find their way down the mountain even with their eyes closed.

Because it is too familiar, it is human nature to want to check something strange and novel once it appears.King Su, what do you think...? "

Ling Qi smiled lightly and shook his head, "I think the prince must pay attention to the evidence when investigating the case. Since you said they discovered the secret and were silenced, you must find out what the secret is, not just infer."

He lowered his eyes, took a small sip of tea, and suppressed the emotions in his eyes.
