Chapter 82: The Cave Skeleton (6)

Mrs. Li frowned, "I want to see the master, aren't you here to pick up Miss Mingyue?" ”

"It's not."

Mingyue got up and said, "That must be urgent." ”

Mrs. Li smiled, "You are not jealous, and you are still anxious for him." Let's go, my lord hasn't come back yet, go and invite him to come in and sit down, don't wait. ”

Mrs. Li is pregnant and walks slowly, and Mingyue is not good at walking in front of her as a guest, so she can only follow slowly. When he arrived in the lobby, Su Yunkai didn't take his seat, and the tea didn't move, and when he saw someone coming out, it was also strange, Ming Mingyue was behind, but he still saw her first, signaled slightly, and then said to Mrs. Li, "Sister-in-law." ”

"Let's sit down first, my lord hasn't come back yet." Mrs. Li invited him to sit down, and asked, "What's the matter with him in a hurry, after he sent Miss Mingyue home, he went to the yamen again, but it is estimated that the time will come, if he is not busy, he should also let the yamen come back." ”

Su Yunkai said, "It's a matter in the yamen." ”

It was the default rule for the family members of officials to ask about matters in the court, so Mrs. Li did not ask any more.

Mingyue saw that he was returning alone, and he didn't see Bai Shui, so she asked, "Where is Bai Zhutou?" ”

Su Yun was stunned, his eyes were slightly guilty, and because Mrs. Li was there, he only said, "She'll be back soon." ”

Mingyue saw him look like this, and he felt bad, but he didn't look for a chance to tell her separately, it can be seen that Baishui is still safe, but for some reason he didn't go back to the city together.

The night was getting dark, the hustle and bustle outside the house gradually subsided, and the sound of the carriage sounded in the quiet night, Su Yunkai had a keen hearing, and got up to look over there.

The door opened, and it was Li Kang who entered. He saw that the lights in the lobby were bright, and his wife greeted him and said, "Master Su is here." ”

"Coming to pick up Miss Ming?"

"I'm here to see you."

Li Kang was slightly surprised, and his steps were faster. Su Yunkai had already walked outside, "Brother Li." ”

"Study please." The two of them did little to greet each other, he expected that Su Yunkai had something, maybe he found something, and he was willing to tell himself, of course, he was in a hurry to invite him into the house to talk in detail.

Su Yunkai followed, and called Mingyue to go with him, which made Mrs. Li curious, the man was discussing, what did such a little girl do when she went in. She shook her head slightly, didn't go with her, called someone to bring tea and pour water, and went back to the room by herself.

The study is full of the fragrance of books, and six large round candles are lit, which are not bright and dazzling, nor are they dim, and it should be very comfortable to read a book in it. But Su Yunkai enjoyed it flawlessly, and when the next person went out, he said directly, "Help me check someone." ”

Li Kang smiled, "Who, even want me to help you check." ”

"Only if you are an outsider help me check, can I find out what I want to know."

Li Kang lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, "You mean, you were targeted by that person?" ”

Su Yunkai nodded, "The person I want you to check for me is Pingxihou." ”

Li Kang frowned, "Why do you want to check him?" Because he secretly transferred you back from the Daimyo's Mansion, and you were promoted and degraded secretly? ”

"Not only that, but I was too busy to investigate this matter in detail. In retrospect, I can't explain it. Su Yunkai deliberately postponed this matter and did not elaborate, "You help me check Ping Xihou's family property, as well as his relationship with Chen Lilang." ”

"Chen Lilang?" Li Kang thought for a while and asked, "Elder Chen, the former secretary of the Ministry of Industry?" ”

"Yes."

"What are you doing with this?"

"The summer resort on Drum Mountain is owned by Shen Wei, the mastermind of the corpse sinking case a while ago, and I learned from him that the house was Chen Lilang's at the beginning, but even his family didn't know about it. Later, I went to the summer resort, and Pingxihou also went with me inexplicably. And I just came back from Drum Mountain, and the mountain villa has been set on fire. ”

Li Kang smiled reluctantly, "So you suspect that the villa was built by Yu Fenglin at the behest of Chen Laojian, and there is an ulterior secret hidden in it, so you burned it?" But you can't help but be too far-fetched to connect these two things, maybe Pingxihou really just happened to follow? ”

Su Yunkai shook his head and said slowly, "After the murder in the villa, the murderer cut off the suspension bridge as the only way out, and later Bai Zhutou learned from an old woodcutter that there was still a passage. Only the people in the villa knew about that incident, but when we went to find the secret passage just now, we found that the secret passage had also been sealed. ”

If one thing is a coincidence, then two things are not, Li Kang is in the Criminal Department, although he is not as sensitive as Su Yunkai, but he is not so stupid that he will think that it is a coincidence, "Then what are you doing to check his family property?" ”

Su Yunkai didn't explain much about this, "You can help me check." ”

Li Kang smiled, "Brother Su, although you and I have been friends for many years, but after all, it is Pingxi Hou, if he knows that I am checking him, then I will definitely have no good fruit to eat." ”

Su Yunkai looked at him and said, "If you don't serve one master, you will be an enemy." ”

Li Kang's face changed slightly, and he couldn't laugh anymore. Su Yunkai continued, "The only person who can sit on an equal footing with Xihou in the dynasty is An Guogong. But one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and they both want to suppress each other. If you can find out what I want to check, I can promise you that I will do my best to bring down Pingxihou. And I won't take any of this credit, I'll give it to you. ”

"You know...... The person I serve is An Guogong. Li Kang's complexion was already very bad, even ugly. He is the man of An Guogong, but no one should know about this matter, and he has never even told his wife. But Su Yunkai said it so calmly, as if he had known it for a long time, and he was not surprised at all.

It's just that the last sentence is heartwarming.

was discovered by Pingxihou and investigated him, at most he was a little cold-eyed, and An Guogong had his own way to protect him secretly. But if what he found out could really help Su Yunkai bring down Pingxihou, he also believed that Su Yunkai would do what he said, then the merits far outweighed the disadvantages.

He twisted his eyebrows and thought for a long time before he suddenly smiled, a little unwilling, "You really caught my life." ”

Su Yunkai stood up and said, "I'm waiting for your good news." ”

"Okay." Li Kang was in a hurry to investigate Pingxihou, and in the end, he thought that the two of them must have something to say, so he simply left a huge study room for them, changed into civilian clothes and went out.

Mingyue closed the door before she said, "Brother Su, where is Shuishui?" ”

The secret passage was blocked, and she still wanted to go to the mountain villa to find clues, so she forcibly climbed over the cliff. She's okay though, don't worry. I also asked people to repair the broken bridge. Su Yunkai, who had been running for a day, felt dry at this time, drank tea and said, "You live in Li's house for a few days first, and when you are done, I will pick you up." ”

Mingyue didn't care where she lived, and saw that his clothes were stained with green grass and green juice, so she stepped forward to play with him, but the traces had dried up and couldn't be taken away. She was still rubbing wholeheartedly, "Just now when you said that Master Li is An Guogong's person, I always feel ...... He's surprised, but he's also hostile to you. ”

Su Yunkai looked down at her, and from this angle, he could see her handsome nose, blinking, and even her eyelashes could be seen clearly. Looking at the person you like in front of you, there will always be an inexplicable sense of reassurance, and the fatigue of running back and forth is gone. He stroked Mingyue's hair and said, "This kind of thing is also taboo in officialdom, but I have to say it." It's just that Li Kang also knows that the Su family is a pure minister, only loyal to the emperor, and does not defect to any camp, so from me, the threat to him is not great, and he will choose to help me when the interests are weighed. ”

Mingyue has always felt that the Su family is a stereotypical family of loyal ministers, but now she feels that she thinks too simply. In fact, it is not that the Su family is "rigid", but that they choose to be loyal to the emperor and the court, and there are many things that they have to deliberately pretend not to know. doesn't say it on the lips, but in his heart he knows the situation of the court very well, maybe it is precisely because of this that he can offend the powerful in the court, but he is still standing and continues to be loyal to the court.

Where is it easy to do this?

Originally, she was worried that Su Yunkai would not be able to fight him even if he really found out Pingxihou, but now most of this worry has disappeared. Mingyue raised her eyes to look at him, "You left me in the Li family for my safety, but you also have to be careful." Look at your clothes, they're all hooked up...... Can't you walk and look around? In case the meat is hooked......"

Su Yunkai heard that she seemed to be crying, and smiled, "Aren't you not injured?" Sad about what? For clothes? ”

"I'm sad that I can't help anything, Shui Shui is so uncomfortable, you work so hard, but I have to be protected by you and stay in the Li family to save my life."

Su Yunkai silently held her hand rubbing her clothes, bent over to look at her face, tears were rolling in his eyes, and his nose was red. He smiled gently, "I don't mind, and you don't mind." ”

Mingyue was stunned for a moment, tears rolled down, and she choked in his arms, "The case must be investigated, but you must also be safe." ”

Su Yunkai bent over and hugged her, his face pressed against her hair. Mingyue is not stupid, she knows his intention to investigate Yu Fenglin at this time - the murderer may be Yu Fenglin.

It was he who personally told her that Yu Feng was so powerful that even the saint had to give three points of thin noodles. It was also he who told her that Yu Fenglin was arrogant and did not offend.

But now he wants to touch that sharp thorn, if he wants to pull out a marquis with military power and fame from the Beijing Division, if he doesn't pull it out properly, he may lose his life.

It's just that he didn't say it, and Mingyue didn't mention it, just read a word of caution and a word of peace.

Su Yunkai was speechless for a long time before he said, "I must be safe, because I still want to marry you." You have waited for me for thirteen years, just wait for me for thirteen days, and within thirteen days, I will definitely end this case! ”

People who never love promises, but now for the girl they like, maybe they have made a promise.

Mingyue listened to it in her heart and looked up at him.

Su Yunkai was looking at her, and suddenly saw her straighten up her waist, and she was caught off guard and kissed by her.

The solemn atmosphere just now was instantly washed away by this kiss.
