Chapter 226: Proposal

Shangjing has officially entered the winter moon, the sky is cold, the dripping water becomes ice, even the hook crescent moon is particularly ruthless, sprinkling a drop of silver light is not enough to illuminate, into the night, there are few people willing to stay outside.

Of course, the weather was not a problem for the well-trained Secret Guards.

Xing Zuo lay on the eaves of the largest courtyard of the Pingwang Mansion, muttering in a low voice that life was boring, "The princess is angry and doesn't want the prince, the prince doesn't think about tea and dinner, and he is crazy to look for it outside every day, and the old stepconcubine in the mansion does not stop, and Zhao Xi also came to the prince to talk about his brotherhood and said that he wanted to help...... I don't want to think if he can help! ”

Yuan Lianhu, who spontaneously came to accompany him on duty at night, was full of sympathy, "I am really sorry for our prince, in such a situation, anyone who changes will be crazy." ”

Xing Zuo wrinkled his nose and pointed at Yuan Lian and scolded, "It's not you yet!" I didn't hide it at a critical time, so I let the princess catch it! ”

Yuan Lianpu's big fan-like hand touched the back of his head and smiled wryly, "Aren't I worried about the princess...... Besides, I was also punished, the prince's military stick was particularly ruthless this time, and I was lying on the bed for a full month! ”

"Yes!" Xing Zuoxiu raised his eyebrows and poked him with his fingers, "Call you bad!" ”

Xing Zuo almost got started to fight with Yuan Lian, but the reason why he didn't pinch was because he saw a few people coming in the distance. The wind lamps in front of him and on both sides illuminated, and the people under him slowly walked over with the man in the middle like a star and a moon. The man's brocade hat and mink fur, stepping on deerskin boots, holding a gold wire hand stove in his hand, and the extravagance of his whole body is the prince's half-brother Zhao Xi!

However, this full armament didn't seem to warm him up a little, Zhao Xi shrunk his neck, picked his shoulders, hunched his back, and his frozen nose was red......

"Yo, the quail is here again!" Yuan Lian Hu's eyes were sympathetic, "What do you say he has to do with this crime?" It's not close to walking this way, he froze himself like a grandson, and our prince won't give him a good face, what is he trying to do? ”

"Say you're stupid," Xing Zuo raised his eyebrows, rolled his eyes neatly, and repeated the answer he asked from Hong You to Yuan Lian, "This shows that he is sensible and generous, and our prince is more rude and domineering and unkind!" ”

"There's an egg! The prince is not still the prince, how can he rob it! Yuan Lian hissed, "To say that this back house is ruined, a big man looks like this, it's really ......"

"But it's also a shame that the princess didn't come back with the prince, otherwise I wouldn't be able to deal with this quail full of heart." Xing Zuo held his chin and sighed, and after speaking, he bumped Yuan Lian's shoulder, "You say, where is our princess?" ”

Yuan Lian shook his head, "I don't know where I am, but I am designated to hide from our prince." ”

"But the prince has been looking for so long, he is about to turn Daxia over, and he hasn't seen it, the princess's wife can hide!"

"The princess is so smart, if you can guess, she won't be the princess."

This Xing Zuo admitted, Hong You said that his brain was big with walnuts, and the princess was so smart, how could he guess it, but he hadn't found it for so long, and he still couldn't help but think, "You say...... Isn't it dark under the lights? ”

"It's dark under the lights?"

"Yes, our prince is looking for it outside, maybe the princess has already invaded the interior and run to Shangjing?" Xing Zuo forced his walnut kernel-sized brain to use his imagination, "Then stay in an inconspicuous place, secretly watching the prince act, just to hide?" ”

Yuan Lian laughed twice, "You can pull it down, it's still dark under the lights, but the prince sent the image down early in the morning, and those who are guarding the city are blind and can't recognize it?" Not to mention other places, this Shangjing is our territory! ”

Xing Zuo was not convinced, his face puffed up, "What if!" ”

"There can't be that ......"

"Go look it up."

The two were talking, when suddenly a deep voice came out from behind them, startling the two of them.

After seeing the person clearly, Xing Zuo covered his chest, "Wang...... Rajah. ”

He said, who can appear so silently and not let them notice it, only the prince will be ......

Yuan Lian didn't understand what Zhao Zhu meant, and his eyes widened, "What are you looking for?" "Check that quail that came to the yard right away?

Zhao Zhuying's eyes narrowed slightly, "Check if there is any news of Lu Li in the capital." ”

"Huh? Do you really want to check? Yuan Lian glared at Xing Zuo, is this kid's words reliable? Besides, "The prince doesn't care about that quail?" "People braved the cold wind to come to you.

Zhao Zhu ignored Yuan Lian, sat down cross-legged, and ordered Xing Zuo, "Bring the altar wine to this king." ”

Xing Zuo nodded and was about to go, but inadvertently noticed the blue and black stubble under Zhao Zhu's chin, as well as the bloodshot eyes.

Why did King Ping become so popular? Even when the border battle was the most fierce, the prince was still handsome and handsome, and his momentum was like a rainbow, and his spirit was simply amazing!

Xing Zuo couldn't help but say more, "Don't worry, the princess will definitely come back, maybe I'm thinking about you now......" After speaking, he quickly slipped off the eaves like a rabbit.

Lu Li...... Will you miss him?

Zhao Zhu was stunned for a moment and looked up at the sky. The sky on a winter night is very high, and the stars are not as enthusiastic as in summer, hanging lazily, flashing from time to time, not at all kind.

Lu Li likes to look at the stars the most, I don't know where he is now, but what he looks at is a starry sky?

Zhao Zhu's heart was like a sea of thoughts, and it was a very rare emotion.

A slightly noisy sound soon came from the courtyard, and Yuan Lian saw that the prince was motionless, as if he was going to grow on the house...... He patted his head, and he should go down and clean up the quail.

……

Lu Li is really looking at the stars.

In ancient times, there was no such strict air pollution, as long as it was not cloudy, the sky was always clean, and as soon as you looked up, you would see beautiful stars. Lu Li likes to be at night, and whenever he is alone, he feels very comfortable when he looks at the stars shining outside the window.

No matter what happens during the day or how bad the mood is, every time this happens, my heart will miraculously calm down. The starry sky is like his secret to healing, he can always look at it, his thoughts are endless, and finally he becomes open-minded and cheerful.

Of course, it's even better to have Dabai by your side.

Da Bai pulled Lu Li's clothes and tried to climb into his arms and sit.

When it was a child, it especially liked to play with Lu Li, and when it was tired, it lay in the arms of its owner, and let the owner's gentle big hand caress it, which was particularly comfortable. But now it has grown into a mighty dog, and when it ran back and pounced on Lu Li, Lu Li's arms were already too small for it.

Dabai was very unwilling, perhaps because he remembered his previous feelings deeply in his memory, and persistently carried out this action.

Lu Li couldn't, so he simply put two chairs, put on soft cushions, sat on one side by himself, and patted the position next to him again, so that Da Bai jumped up.

"Whoa-hoo-" Da Bai jumped up very happily, happily putting his head and front legs...... Placed in the arms of the owner.

As for the butt that can't be put down, the cushion is soft and comfortable enough anyway!

It whined and arched coquettishly in Lu Li's arms.

In winter, it gets dark early, and although Lu Li is already looking at the stars, the time is only the first moment, so there are visitors...... Very normal.

Hu Weiwei brought Wen Qi in, and Dabai yelled at people very unfriendly, as if to say: Where is the nasty ghost, get out, don't spoil the wonderful time between me and my master!

"Big White." Lu Li stopped it, kissed it, and rubbed its head with a smile, "Go play with Sister Hu for a while, good ......"

Da Bai shaved his paws, shouted at Wen Qi twice in warning, and then followed Hu Weiwei's side.

Wen Qi watched the white-haired big dog go, with admiration in his eyes, "The dog is good." ”

Lu Li didn't respond to his topic, and pointed to the seat next to him and asked Wen Qi to sit down, "The castle lord is hereβ€”"

"Naturally, I got a confession and came to ask Mr. what he meant."

Lu Li was a little surprised, if this is the case, shouldn't you call everyone together and talk about it?

Wen Qi laughed, "I thought I had shown enough sincerity, but it seems that Mr. still doesn't believe me." ”

The first time I saw Lu Li, it was when I met a woman who sold herself to bury her father on the street. The woman was obviously a suit, he didn't want to answer, he didn't want to see Lu Li in a bright blue dress in a blink of an eye.

He has always done what he wants, and when he sees someone with the right appetite, he will inevitably not want to flirt. Unexpectedly, there was gossip soon, saying that the sect master appeared, not only holding the sect master's order, but also having a very powerful ability to do things.

The news came very pointedly, as if it was tailor-made for him. Because he always felt that his father's death was strange, and he had the heart to investigate, but he never had the opportunity...... And with the information collected by the news, it can't deceive people, this Lu Li, indeed, has repeatedly solved strange cases everywhere, performed autopsy stunts, and brightened the magic of saving death, it seems that as long as he is there, no matter how difficult the case will disappear, and it will be solved immediately.

So he knew that Lu Li's appearance was not simple, and there must be some purpose, but he still took the person over.

Of course, a bit of temptation is inevitable.

But he didn't expect this young man to be a prickly man and quite temperamental. And it happened that Ruan Ying fell into the water and died, and the young man immediately showed his life-saving skills, which made him have to be convinced......

Thaksin Lo Oak.

I also believe that my eyes will not be wrong.

Lu Li smiled slowly. The little tiger teeth were shining in the candlelight, showing that the person was calm, but also a little cute, "It is my honor for the castle lord to believe in me." ”

"I asked about what Mr. reminded me before," Wen Qi is a cheerful person, and went directly to the topic, "As Mr. expected, I asked a lot of things......

He said that when the maid Yuxiang got up at night, the light in the spring apricot room was on and the door was open. She looked over curiously, and found that Chun Xing's head was facing outside, her eyes were wide open, her hands were hanging down, and she was motionless, she was frightened and immediately screamed, she was just scared at the time, and she was not sure that Chun Xing was dead. Her cry immediately attracted the guards on Zhuangzi, and when the guards entered the room to check, they were sure that Chun Xing was dead.

"But when I passed, Chunxing was lying on her back on the bed, her eyes closed. Sir's past night should be the same as what I saw. Wen Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a sneer on his lips, "Someone is in my Wenjiabao's territory, not to mention killing people, but also taking advantage of the fact that there are many people and no one is paying attention, and the corpse is moved." ”

Lu Li's head was slightly off, and his fingertips unconsciously lingered on the teacup, "There is such a thing." ”

"At that time, except for the guards on Zhuangzi, they were Jianghu people, so this murderer must be among the Jianghu people I invited in advance. That's right, and the taste. Wen Qi's eyes sank slightly, "Yuxiang said that she did smell a special smell, like the smell of wine mixed with some spices, she said that it was a little irritating, obviously. But when we went, the smell had disappeared, and I thought, is it that the person who killed the spring apricot drank too much, and left when he killed someone, and stayed in the room more, so the taste disappeared so quickly? ”

Lu Li lightly bowed his head, which made sense.

"So, I asked people to check who had drunk that night." Speaking of this, Wen Qi sneered coldly, "The people in the rivers and lakes are so arrogant, almost everyone drank that night!" My second uncle also persuaded him to drink during the banquet, but he was very clever, and everyone else drank the wine, but he didn't. ”

Wen Qi personally went to ask Wen Rang, and Wen Rang said that he had taken Chinese medicine that day, and he had a drink with wine, so he didn't drink it. He also felt that it was a meritorious act for him to help Wen Qi entertain guests, and he was very dissatisfied that Wen Qi came to the door to ask. As for whether he had done anything before and after, and why he had to stand up and admit that he had killed Chun Xing at that time, he still did not cooperate.

Moreover, the attitude of the subordinates around him was wrong, they were actually dodging, unwilling to answer Wen Qi's question head-on.

"They don't want to say it, it's okay, if they don't say it this time, they will never say it again."

When he said this, Wen Qi's eyes were full of anger, and Lu Li knew that he had a murderous intent.

"Second Uncle couldn't find it out here, so I asked Wen Jiuxian to cooperate with Yuxiang and follow the smell to find out, and I went to check what happened on the night of Ruan Ying's accident." Wen Qi's voice sank, and his expression became a little gloomy, "Some people say that I saw him and Chunxing meet that night. ”

It was too dark, and the subordinate said that he wasn't sure if he had seen it clearly, so Wen Qi went to ask Ruan Ying's mother again.

Ruan Erjia thought about it carefully, and suddenly hugged his head and cried. She said that she heard her son get up at night that night, and asked in a daze, Ruan Ying said to go and get up at night, and she would go back immediately, so that she could sleep peacefully. She was very sleepy, turned over and fell asleep again, and in a trance saw her son's back going east...... But the clean room is obviously in the west!

Ruan Er's family hated himself for being sleepy and careless, so his son suffered this catastrophe!

Wen Qi's hand clenched into a fist slightly, "I just don't know, Ruan Ying and Chun Xing met before he got up at night, or after he got up at night, or at that time." ”

Lu Li has been living in Zhuangzi for a few days and has some understanding of the location of several important places. Hearing this, he frowned slightly, "Dare to ask the castle master, where will the courtyard where Ruan Ying lived at that time go east if he goes east?" Possibly to ...... The garden where he drowned? ”

Wen Qi's eyes darkened, and his fists clenched, "Yes." The two places were so close that Ruan Ying only had to bypass a small gate to reach the garden. ”

There was a sudden silence in the room.

There was a night breeze blowing, the candles on the table swayed, and the curtains swayed slightly.

Wen Qi's ears moved, he squinted and looked out the window, his feelings suddenly turned around, and he asked Lu Li in a dry voice, "What do you think, sir?" ”

Lu Li thought for a long time, and he didn't know what he thought, so he suddenly asked, "Where did Ling Zun have an accident...... Where? ”

"It was the height of summer, the weather was hot, and my father, as always, lived in the coolest water pavilion ......" Wen Qi's pupils suddenly contracted, "The water pavilion is also in the garden!" The location of Nguyen Anh falling into the water is one east and one west! ”

Why did Ruan Ying secretly meet Chun Xing, to say that she had a personal relationship, it was impossible. No matter how unhappy Wen Qi was, no matter how angry he was, he knew that this was impossible. Then why did this person who didn't cross paths on weekdays suddenly meet late at night, and Ruan Ying went to the garden?

"Is this really related to the death of my father?" Wen Qi was very surprised.

"There's no evidence, I'm just guessing." Lu Li sighed, the amount of information he got about this matter was too small, and it was really difficult to speculate. But he saw that Ruan Ying could see it clearly. Ruan Ying pretended to have amnesia when she woke up, but that was to deal with Wen Qi. He could see that Ruan Ying's attitude towards Wen Qi was very complicated, similar to wanting to give up, but he couldn't give up, so he ran away and forced himself to think clearly.

Because this situation is inexplicably similar to Lu Li, even though it is just some words and some eyes, Lu Li can almost see through Ruan Ying's thoughts. But no matter what, Ruan Ying will not hurt Wen Qi, no matter what happens, he will only want to help Wen Qi.

Wen Qi wanted to find out the cause of his biological father's death, but others didn't know about it, but Ruan Ying must know. Similarly, he should also know how much Wen Qi has prepared for this matter, and how disappointed and sad he is because he can't do it.

When there is no chance, Ruan Ying can only accompany Wen Qi to suffer, but once she has the opportunity...... Ruan Ying will definitely want to dig deeper into the clues. And in order to avoid Wen Qi worrying, he would not let Wen Qi know until there were no obvious clues.

So...... Ruan Ying should have known something.

He will drown, and Chun Xing will die, and it is probably all related to this little clue.

And Ruan Ying pretended to have amnesia after waking up, which may have lowered the murderer's vigilance by mistake and let him go.

Such a guess that Lu Li would have, and Wen Qi, who got along more with Ruan Ying and knew Ruan Ying better, could naturally guess, "Bai Shi has already said that he has lost his memory in Ruan Ying...... Ruan Ying will be in danger these days! ”

Lu Li squinted slightly, "So the castle master should pay more attention to protecting the safety of patients." ”

Wen Qi thought back to the recent deployment at Ruan Ying's residence, and felt that it was no problem, so he endured it and didn't stand up, and continued the topic, "It's also my fault...... My unexpected disappearance from home had a big impact on me and him, and he thought ...... I won't trust him anymore. ”

There is obviously something in the words, and Wen Qi's sudden disappearance must have something else to hide. It's just that the parties involved in this matter are reluctant to say, and Lu Li is not easy to ask, and then said, "Is it Ruan Ying...... What have you ever seen? ”

Wen Qi shook his head, "I really don't know. He looked slightly bitter, "He didn't say anything to me." ”

"If the lord of the castle believes me, I want to wait for Ruan Ying's situation to get better and talk to him face-to-face."

"Okay." Wen Qi responded to Lu Li, looked out the window, and his voice became a little heavier, "Then the current matter, according to Mr.'s opinion, how to deal with it?" ”

"Since the one qiΔ“ is related to your father's death, things will be easy to handle!" Suddenly, a loud voice interjected outside the room, and as he spoke, footsteps were heard, and someone was walking into the room.

Lu Li looked at Wen Qi, who had a clear look in his eyes, relaxed slightly, and waited for the others to come in, and smiled clearly.

It turned out to be Zhuo Xiuyuan and Bai Shi.

Zhuo Xiuyuan strode over, brushing his well-groomed hair, his eyes were blazing and his expression was solemn, "Open the coffin for autopsy!" ”

Bai Shi was a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry...... Uncle Zhuo and I went to find Lord Wenburg, and the people below said that Lord Wenburgh came to find Mr. Lu, so we followed. Seeing that the two discussed the problem, they did not dare to disturb each other for fear of delaying the case, and did not intend to eavesdrop. ”

The corners of Wen Qi's lips seemed to be curled, "Mr. Xiaobai doesn't need to be polite, this matter should have been told to you, but I was in a hurry, so I came to Mr. Lu immediately." ”

Bai Shi's eyes curled, "The castle lord doesn't blame me and Uncle Zhuo." ”

Wen Qi only looked at Zhuo Xiuyuan at this moment, "Uncle Zhuo just said ......"

"Open the coffin and conduct an autopsy to find out the cause of your father's death!" Zhuo Xiuyuan had a righteous face, "Now that someone has blatantly come to your Wenjiabao to harm people, how can you bear it!" If the virtuous nephew doesn't care about his face, I'll hold a hero meeting for you and explain this matter clearly, I see who is embarrassed to object! ”

"Then thank you Uncle Zhuo." Wen Qi said that he had no opinion on this matter, but there was one thing that made him a little annoyed, "If the coffin is really opened, who will take care of it?" ”

Zhuo Xiuyuan looked at Bai Shi with a loving face, "Naturally, we are Mr. Xiaobai!" ”

Lu Li was holding the teacup and drinking the tea slowly, but he didn't react at all, he had long expected that Zhuo Xiuyuan would not support him.

"Bai Xiaoyou has superb skills, he has solved many big cases in Shangjing, Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, how many people are vying to visit and get acquainted, and his reputation is not fake!" Zhuo Xiuyuan's eyes slipped around Lu Li's body, "It's much stronger than a mud leg who doesn't know his name and doesn't know which countryside he crawled from." ”

Bai Shi glanced at Lu Li worriedly, and pulled Zhuo Xiuyuan's sleeve, "Uncle Zhuo, there are also hermits in the mountains, it's not good to suspect others at will, maybe this gentleman really has a good teacher, and he has learned a magic skill that no one knows......"

"Mentor?" Zhuo Xiuyuan sneered, "In this world, who else has higher acting skills than Mr. Yu Zhiyu?" Would you like to give a name to the old man? ”

Bai Shi stopped talking and smiled apologetically at Lu Li.

Lu Li still drank tea calmly, and no one paid attention to it.

"Besides," Zhuo Xiuyuan looked at Wen Qi with a solemn expression, "Bai Xiaoyou is extremely important to King Ping, or it may attract King Pingβ€”"

Seeing that Wen Qi was still silent, Zhuo Xiuyuan squinted, "As long as Bai Xiaoyou delivers a letter, King Ping will definitely come over!" At that time, you will open the coffin for an autopsy, and with King Ping escorting, not only will you be able to do things for many years, but you will also be able to build a bridge between King Ping and King Ping......"
