The wind

On the other side Li Zhongnan and Qu Yeliang left the restaurant, they did not ride horses or bring attendants when they left the mansion this time.Wenshan Tower caught fire last night, and Li Yunyi also hurried to the scene to check it out. Looking at the raging fire, he only left a sentence "burn it, let it burn" and then became furious, and actually vomited a mouthful of blood in front of everyone.

Fortunately, Li Zhongnan had a quick eye and quick hands on several acupuncture points of Li Yunyi, suppressing the anger, and hurriedly asked the maids to help him to rest.Because the doctor in the house asked for leave, Li Zhongnan had to go out of the house today to prepare some medicine for Li Yunyi's anger, but for some reason Qu Yeliang insisted on going with him.

Li Zhongnan was not annoyed, he let Qu Yeliang follow him, once he left Li's mansion, he bought a lot of food on the middle street after dispensing the medicine, anyway, it was charged to Li Yunyi's account, so why not do it.

At this moment, in the crowded street, Qu Yeliang's peripheral vision has been firmly locked on Li Zhongnan who is slowly peeling the water chestnut beside him.

Every time Li Zhongnan faded away, the sadness between Qu Yeliang's brows became deeper.

After a long time, Qu Yeliang finally turned his head, with complex expressions in his eyes, hesitantly said: "Why didn't I know you are such a patient person." Li Zhongnan smiled without saying a word, only to hear Qu Yeliang say again: " You can't use your hands?"

Without waiting for Li Zhongnan to respond, Qu Yeliang grabbed his wrist with his right hand, and stretched out two fingers with his left hand to probe Li Zhongnan's meridians: "What's going on with you?"

Li Zhongnan didn't answer, trying to break free from Qu Yeliang's shackles, but was firmly controlled by him.Seeing that Li Zhongnan didn't cooperate at all, Qu Yeliang's eyes suddenly burst into a violent cloud: "Who did it?"

"Who is the gift, don't you also know?" Li Zhongnan smiled lightly and turned his face away, as if he didn't want to get so close to Qu Yeliang.Qu Yeliang was taken aback, let go of Li Zhongnan's wrist, and murmured: "I didn't think it was that serious, but later, I heard that it will recover soon..."

Qu Yeliang lowered his eyes, sighed a few times, took the bag in Li Zhongnan's hand, and peeled it off for him.

Li Zhongnan knew that the man had misunderstood, but he didn't explain it. It was rare to see him feel discouraged, so he simply accepted it calmly, and ate the water chestnuts that Qu Yeliang peeled off for him one bite at a time.

"Zhong Nan." Qu Yeliang called out, "Before I made a move, you were outside the building, why didn't you enter."

"Young Master Qu." Li Zhongnan glanced at Qu Yeliang, "You should still call me the Eighth Young Master. If others listen to it, they might leave something to say."

Qu Yeliang sighed again: "Why did the Eighth Young Master come back?"

"I'll come back? I'll come back naturally after buying water chestnuts. If I leave you there alone, Sixth Brother will definitely blame me."

"You clearly know that I am not referring to this matter." Qu Yeliang hesitated for a while, as if looking for a suitable wording, "What are you going to do to the Li Mansion?"

"Young Master Qu's question is so strange, what can I do with a sick child."

"What do you want? Money? Status? If you leave Li's residence, I can give you everything."

"Young Master Qu is generous." Li Zhongnan burst out laughing, but immediately withdrew his smile, "What if I want your life?"

"Give it to you, if you promise me to leave." Qu Yeliang looked down, "It's been ten years, but you still can't forgive him?"

Li Zhongnan stopped and looked at Qu Yeliang: "Who do you want to forgive?"

"I don't care who you hate." Qu Yeliang raised his eyebrows slightly, "If you are against the sixth young master, I will kill you with my own hands."

Li Zhongnan shrugged his shoulders, Tian didn't care, and said slowly: "As the eighth young master of the Li family, I will naturally not leave the house, but if you want to win* me, it's not impossible."

"What do you want me to do?"

Li Zhongnan glanced at Qu Yeliang: "Find someone to do an autopsy on Yuying. I want to know exactly when she died."

Qu Yeliang was taken aback, he didn't expect Li Zhongnan to make such a request, and pondered for a moment: "Of course it's possible, but he can't be involved."

"I understand."

Qu Yeliang said again: "I will look for it today. But you just asked me before you answered me. You know those men in black are in the restaurant."

Li Zhongnan put a water chestnut in his mouth, eating with relish: "No, I'm not a charlatan who can pinch and count, how do I know?"

"Then why don't you go in?"

"You may not believe it." Li Zhongnan glanced at Qu Yeliang reproachfully, "Before you made a move, I felt a murderous aura outside the door, but before I could tell who it came from, the murderous aura dissipated .”

"Is this true? Those dead men are so powerful?" Qu Yeliang was surprised for a while, and turned his head to stare at Li Zhongnan: "Or is it that Mr. Huangfu has reached such an attainment after traveling abroad for several years?"

"It's not them." Li Zhongnan's pupils shrank sharply, and he bit his lower lip lightly, as if he was lost in the noisy crowd beside his ears, as if he was recalling the murderous intent that penetrated his skin and bones just now.Qu Yeliang didn't expect Li Zhongnan to say such a thing, so he also frowned and stopped talking.

The two went back to Li's mansion in muffled voices. Qu Yeliang personally went to the back kitchen to cook medicine, while Li Zhongnan went to the Wenshan Building which was on fire yesterday.For some reason, the fire was so intense yesterday that even though it was next to the lake, it burned for a whole night, and burned down Wenshan Tower inside and out.The burning smell in the air still made Li Zhongnan quite uncomfortable.

A corner of Qingyong Lake was repaired by the craftsmen who built Li's Mansion into a thin curved stream. The stagnant water became running water, which folded under the mountains and stone pavilions, and meandered around the entire Li's Mansion.The sparkling surface of the lake aroused Li Zhongnan's infinite reverie——

Setting fire to the building, although this move is stupid, it is very powerful.

Misleading, deceiving, shaming or doing it on purpose?

"Brother Meng." Just as Li Zhongnan was preoccupied, there was an inaudible sound behind him.

"Didn't I say that you and I don't want to meet during the day." Li Zhongnan didn't turn around, still staring at the dilapidated building, "Don't call me by that name again."

"Yeah, it's just you and me here, so I'm afraid, not to mention that the whole house is surrounded by your sixth brother, how can they take care of me?"

"There are too many people in the mansion, you'd better be careful." Li Zhongnan coughed lightly, "That girl was sent back to Lefang last night."

"Brother Meng." Lou Beiyin smiled and approached Li Zhongnan, "Naturally, you don't feel at ease when I do things."

Li Zhongnan looked at Lou Beiyin, no matter how stable he looked yesterday, he nodded slightly: "Naturally, don't worry."

"How long will my play of pretending to be an official continue? Everyone in Li's family is difficult to deal with. I can hardly handle it." Lou Beiyin pursed his lips, showing a bit of a childish look, "Brother Meng, early Knowing that there is going to be an accident in Yang's residence, I will not come with you."

Li Zhongnan said: "I understand it, you and I can't predict the future, how could we know that those people found the Yang's mansion so quickly. We had no choice but to resort to this plan."

"Unexpectedly, the scholar who followed us all the way is actually a Beijing official." Lou Bei groaned, "The two of us are auspicious people with astronomical phenomena, and I don't know how that person is now?"

"It's God's will for the two of you to exchange identities." Li Zhongnan said, "Although I don't know what is important for him to enter the Yang residence with your identity, I hope he has already done it."

Li Zhongnan paused, and then continued: "Did you tell Mr. Jueyan about the ghost?"

"That's natural, it's exaggerated a lot." Lou Beiyin patted his chest, "I also took the opportunity to go to his room and saw the scrolls he was busy compiling. The news is correct, he is Prime Minister Zuo Zhongbugui Come to monitor the official writers of the Li Mansion."

Li Zhongnan frowned slightly: "Why did you enter his room rashly? Mr. Jueyan is suspicious by nature, so you should not be tempted by him."

Lou Bei raised his hand, and said casually, "Why, I entered his room this time, and the scroll was not collected in time, so how can I rest assured that I am trying to find out who I am?"

"Otherwise." Li Zhongnan said, "Did he ever say something strange for you to answer?"

Lou Beiyin was taken aback, suddenly remembered something, dared not look into Li Zhongnan's eyes again, and said awkwardly: "It seems that there is, let me be right, I flickered past, it's not a big deal after all."

Li Zhongnan's complexion suddenly became heavy, and he whispered in his ear: "What did he tell you to do?"

Lou Beiyin saw that he put away his smiling face, knowing that he had caused trouble, so he honestly recounted the scene of that day.

"To the point! That's a famous line that Lou Beiyin wrote when he entered Jingmiansheng! How could you not know it!"

"How do I know!" Lou Beiyin also became angry, "Brother Meng, tell me some reason! I'm just looking for posts*, how can I know who is who! Why don't you let me be the Eighth Young Master? You are the Beijing official."

Li Zhongnan couldn't help laughing after hearing this angry sentence, and his anger disappeared: "Forget it, since he has become suspicious, I will watch him in the future. You don't dare to mess around like this in the future, this eighth young master of the Li family Only I can pretend to be like you, these days you just pretend to be your Beijing official."

"Well, since you've known him for so long, of course you know him best, so I'm just saying it casually. I don't think Lu Hongqiu is a good person. He always asks me about Yu Shenghan from before. How do I know who he is? It’s Yu Shenghan, I heard everything about that person from you before, so I had to make up words to prevaricate him, if you don’t hurry up, I’m afraid I’m going crazy.” Lou Beiyin muttered again, “I’m still There is that Mr. Absolutely Beautiful, it’s really in the way, you dragged him into the water, but can it help us get things done?”

"Of course." Li Zhongnan nodded, then stared at Lou Beiyin for a while, "You are clever, but how do you know he is going to Wenshan Tower?"

"Who is going to Wenshan Tower?" Lou Beiyin was puzzled.

Li Zhongnan raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you steal the key to Wenshan Tower?"

"Why should I steal the key to Wenshan Building?"

"Mr. Jueyan asked Yuying yesterday to borrow the key of Wenshan Building, but Yuying said that the key was missing, I thought you took it."

Lou Beiyin thought for a moment: "So that's the case. I didn't steal the key. I wanted to ask you about the fire yesterday but it was part of your plan. Now it seems that you don't know."

Li Zhongnan said: "I really don't know, Mr. Qu is still investigating the cause of the fire."

"Could it be that someone else is looking for the same thing as us?" Lou Bei groaned, "Could someone have already arrived first."

"No, if anyone wants that thing, only the public writer, if he is a public writer." Li Zhongnan withdrew his gaze from Lou Beiyin, thought for a moment, and said, "I want to see those scrolls That's fine. I'll ask him to come out another day, and you can bring me some books to have a look at.

"

"It's easy to say, this is my old profession." Lou Beiyin responded readily, turned around, and backed away from Li Zhongnan's field of vision.

Seeing Lou Beiyin leave, Li Zhongnan's heart sank, he also left Wenshan Tower, walked a few steps, and raised his hand to call a maid: "Where is the Sixth Young Master now?"

Looking back at the messy Jiuchun Building, four people with different expressions are sitting on the only table in the hall that was not hacked, sipping tea quietly.Maybe the shopkeeper was shocked, tea is tea, water is water, the difference is very clear.

Xiao Zhouheng was eager to return home, took a sip casually, and looked at the two people opposite him: "Min Zhan, Dong Chi."

Yu Bocheng, dressed in official uniform, held up the teacup and drank it in one gulp: "It would be great if there was wine, but I'm still on duty, it's a pity."

"Wait for you to go down to the office, you go and get some wine, you and I won't sleep until we're drunk." Han Tieyi also raised his head and drank the tea, and then wiped his mouth with his sleeve, as if it was really a glass of mellow wine : "Brother Xiao, is Mr. Huangfu coming?"

Han Tieyi came to Jinling a few years ago, because he was eating and sleeping all the way, disheveled and speaking with a foreign accent, he happened to bump into Yu Bocheng, who had not yet become the chief arrester at that time, and was arresting criminals. After a fight, they somehow became best friends, and because neither of them had a family, neither father nor mother, so the snakes and mice lived together in one nest.

Before Xiao Zhouheng and Huangfu Chu could respond, Yu Bocheng said in surprise, "Why did you lose because of me playing wine?"

Xiao Zhouheng raised his forehead: "Have you guys sparred in martial arts again?"

"No and no!" Yu Bocheng waved his hands again and again, "It's just a gamble. Brother Han and I saw Mr. Huangfu hurrying just now. Brother Han said that Mr. Huangfu was going to see some beautiful lady. I said no. Later Then I found that Mr. Huangfu has been following you. Only then did I realize that he came to see you."

Han Tieyi laughed dryly, and interrupted, "Min Zhan and I were going to leave, but we saw someone running out, saying that he had killed someone."

Xiao Zhouheng showed surprise, and turned to look at Huangfu Chu: "Yu Xing?"

Huangfu Chu smiled awkwardly, but avoided Xiao Zhouheng's probing eyes: "On the way to the academy, I happened to see those people following you. I didn't expect to do it." Xiangnan, listening to Huangfu Chu's lame excuses, Xiao Zhouheng couldn't help but become more suspicious.

Yu Bocheng didn't notice the delicate situation between the two, he slapped the table, and said boldly: "Shu Ting, don't worry, Brother Han and I will find out the truth! Jinling City won't be caught without me, Yu Minzhan." Prisoner! I want to see who wants to kill my best friend!"

Xiao Zhouheng smiled forcedly: "Thank you."

At this time, several yamen servants who were patrolling nearby also rushed over when they heard the movement. Under Yu Bocheng's command, those yamen servants pushed the cart and prepared to bring the corpses back to the yamen.Before leaving, Yu Bocheng patted his chest and reassured that he would give Xiao Zhouheng an answer within five days.Farewell to the three of them, Xiao Zhouheng waited in place for a while, seeing that Huangfu Chu had no intention of explaining, but walked more freely than Yu Bocheng and Han Tieyi, shook his head and sighed, carrying the messy and chaotic years of that year. The afterimage returned to Li's residence.

Xiao Zhouheng had just returned to Li's mansion and set his feet, before he had time to take a sip of water, a servant girl came over there and bowed his head: "Sixth young master, Mr. Jueyan, please stay in the main study for a while."

"Okay, Xiaosheng will go there now." Xiao Zhouheng nodded to the servant girl, knowing that Li Yunyi would definitely tell him about Yuying's incident last night, so he was not afraid at all, and he got up and wanted to go with him.

When the two of them walked along the corridor to the cypress tree in the courtyard, there was a faint noise behind them, Xiao Zhouheng was about to turn around to check, but felt someone tugged at his cuff.

Xiao Zhouheng lowered his head and realized that it was Li Longsha, Miss Twenty.

Li Longsha's eyes were red, as if she had just cried.

The author has something to say: Gao Lao: buy.

Mitieer: Pickpockets on the street.

The verse that Xiao Zhouheng asked Lou Beiyin to respond to is mentioned in Chapter 5.

Yu Bocheng, also known as Minzhan, the chief arrester of Jinling and a friend of Xiao Zhouheng, was mentioned for the first time in Chapter 1, and rumors of Xiao Zhouheng's relationship with Miss Sixteen Li Zhuyue spread all over the city.

Li Longsha, the 2th Miss of the Li Mansion, was first mentioned in Chapter [-].
