Honglu Pavilion is a place specially set aside in Great Xia to entertain foreign races, with a large area and clear divisions. "Words, love, first, http://www.Klxsw.com?

Lu Li noticed that almost all of the guards in Great Xia were outside the divisions, not deep, and they seemed to be a little lazy, but in fact, as long as they passed by, their eyes would be very bright, as if they could see through the hearts of the people.

Lu Li tugged at Zhao Zhu's sleeve and motioned for him to pay attention.

Zhao Shu saw that there were all his people around, so he took the opportunity to squeeze Lu Li's hand and explained to him in a low voice: "The emperor should promise the freedom of foreign missions, and if the guards are too strict, there will be suspicion of prying eyes, but ......"

"But you can't ignore it, so the people who are sent here are all elites!" Great Xia does not interfere with the mission**, respecting their habits, but if they dare to have bad intentions...... No wind or grass will hide from the eyes of the guards!

Lu Li's eyes flashed, and he deliberately lowered his voice, "Isn't that so?" ”

Zhao Zhu's jaw, from an angle that others couldn't see, kissed Lu Li's forehead, "Smart." ”

"What are you doing?" Shen Wansha leaned over, her big pure eyes flickering, "So close?" ”

When he said this, Lu Li knew that the young master didn't see what he had just done. The young master has a straightforward temperament, often together, and he will not be particularly ridiculous about his habit of seeing Zhao Zhu close to him, so he should be curious about what whispering secrets they are talking about.

"We're talking about the guards in this building." Lu Li shook off Zhao Shu and put his hand on his little friend's shoulder, "What about you, just looked around, what are you paying attention to?" ”

Shen Wansha scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "The Uighur princess also lives in the Honglu Pavilion, I'll see if I have a chance to meet it today." ”

Lu Li's expression paused slightly, "Uighur princess? ”

"Eh, little oak, why did you forget, I said I want to kiss, I think the Uighur princess is good!" Shen Wansha gestured and reminded Lu Li, "It's that girl with big eyes, not blue eyes, veiled, and a nice voice!" ”

"I remember." Lu Li's eyes were a little complicated. My friends are still thinking about getting in ...... Wax Helian Yu.

"That's the end of the business, I'll go see if the princess is there!" Shen Wansha made a decision and began to be distressed again, "But I forgot to bring a gift......

Turning his head to look at his little friend, Shen Wansha smiled again. Lu Li has become the sect master, and with Baibaolou, the objects on his body are getting better and better day by day. Of course, it wasn't bad before, Lu Li would perform an autopsy, and there were often rich rewards for solving cases, and he was not poor, but he was not so expensive in dressing.

Today, Lu Li has a beautiful purse hanging from his waist, looking at the style, it doesn't feel like it was given by King Ping, it should be given by Hu Weiwei. This purse is brand new and brand-new, the embroidery is excellent, with different embroidery thread table xiΓ n light and dark colors, the contrast is strong under the sun, and it is particularly eye-catching.

The pattern on the purse is a fish playing lotus leaves, the fish is lively, the lotus leaves are slightly whisking, lifelike. Shen Wansha remembered that the princess seemed to like koi, wouldn't it be right to give her this!

He reached out and pulled the purse from Lu Li's waist, and smiled brightly, "This little thing, the young master wants it!" ”

Since Lu Li had Baibaolou, Shen Wansha got a lot of good things from his friends, Lu Li never gave him gifts, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with snatching a purse from his friends, and this thing can be seen at a glance, it has no special significance.

He is really interested in the Uighur princess...... Lu Li smiled helplessly, "It's for you." But isn't it enough to just send a purse? ”

Shen Wansha shook the jade ornament on his waist, patted his chest, and blinked, "Mountain people have their own tricks-" The little appearance was very proud.

Lu Li almost burst out laughing.

He suddenly remembered that since Helian Yu was the prince of Motuo, he should also be in the Honglu Pavilion, if he happened to run into ...... But it's beautiful.

……

As they spoke, they walked to the center of the Honglu Pavilion, in front of the council hall in charge of the affairs of each hall.

About Zhao Zhu's side guards informed King Ping that he was coming one step in advance, and as soon as Lu Li and the others walked to the door of the council hall, one of them greeted him quickly.

The man's posture is extremely respectful, when he walks, his waist is lower than others, and the degree is faster than others, but the person is not tall, and the legs are not long, and the two legs can almost see the phantom, "Xia Guan has seen Ping, ah......"

I don't know if it's because Qing XΓΉ is too nervous and excited, or if he walked too fast and couldn't react, he tripped over the threshold -

The five bodies threw themselves to the ground, and they made a great gift thoroughly??? Want?? Read the book w?ww?Β· οΌ‘?k?shuc

This scene was very funny, Shen Wansha wanted to laugh very much, but it was not right to think about laughing at others for being unlucky, he hugged Lu Li's arm hard, and his body trembled as he held back his laughter.

Lu Li actually wanted to laugh too, but his arm hurt so much...... So his face was a little distorted, and he seemed to be smiling instead of smiling.

The expression on Zhao Shu's face was always indifferent and domineering and mocking, occasionally bringing out a bit of sharpness, except in the face of Lu Li, he had never laughed, in such a scene, he could also be very calm, and even glanced at Lu Li and Shen Wansha with disdain.

Lu Li and Shen Wansha admired this very much, Prince Ping is different!

The man was obviously in pain, his fingers trembled, and he hissed and exhaled, and it took a long time to get up and up.

After getting up, he still saluted in the most respectful posture, "Xiaguan Bazheng, he is the deputy director of the museum, and he has seen His Royal Highness King Ping, Young Master Shen, and Mr. Lu." ”

Zhao Shu snorted and motioned for him to get up.

Shen Wansha saw that the marks on his face were too miserable, and reminded him with concern, "Do you want to ...... Go to the last medicine? ”

Ba Zheng's face was slightly red, and he was a little excited, "Thank you Young Master Shen for your concern, the lower official is very good, and there is no need to take medicine." ”

"But you have a nosebleed......" Lu Li pointed to his face, how hard he fell.

Ba Zheng immediately raised his head and covered his nose, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry-" He apologized for a long time with great remorse, "Please wait for the prince and the two young masters, and the little one will come when he goes!" ”

After saying that, he ran away like a rabbit.

Shen Wansha looked at his back, but still couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud, "This person is so stupid......"

When King Ping arrived, of course, he would not be greeted by only one Ba Zheng, Ba Zheng left, and others led them to the door, making tea and snacks to receive them. However, Ba Zheng came back very quickly, and before Lu Li had drunk two sips of tea, he came over in a hurry, still running very fast, and almost tripped again when he entered the door.

He knelt down and bowed very humbly, and his expression was full of excitement and excitement, as if it was a very, very honorable thing to be personally consulted by King Ping.

Zhao Shu called him up and asked bluntly, "Do you know if you don't hide Lu?" ”

"Go back to the prince, you know." He stood with his hands tied, and the blush on his face did not decrease, but it did not affect others to see his appearance clearly. He was wearing a green official uniform in the Honglu Pavilion, he was not tall, thin, his eyes were very bright, and he was born with a smiling face, which was amiable to look at.

"Wu Zanglu is a native of Western Xia, he has a very boring temperament, he doesn't like to talk, but he never embarrasses others, he is a good person."

Lu Li then asked, "Who has he been close to for more than three months?" ”

Ba Zheng's expression was a little surprised, as if he didn't understand Lu Li's question, "Come on...... More than three months? ”

"That's right," Shen Wansha said in his heart, this is really stupid, and added, "Isn't he a member of the Western Xia Mission, and the mission has been in Beijing for more than three months now?" ”

Ba Zheng shook his head cautiously, "It's true that he has only been in Beijing for three months this time, but he has lived in Beijing for more than a year......

"More than a year?" Lu Li's eyes flashed slightly, "You said that he came with the Western Xia delegation this time, and he used to live in Shangjing?" ”

"Yes." Ba Zheng nodded.

"When?"

"The year before last...... In the first month of the previous year, he came to the Honglu Pavilion, and stayed until May last year, when he left Beijing and returned to Xixia, and in the winter month, he came with the mission again. ”

"During his time in the capital, he has been living in the Honglu Pavilion?"

"Yes. A look at the book w?Β· οΌ‘kshuc”

"Before and now?"

"Yes."

Lu Li groaned slightly, and thought of another question, "The year before last, Wu Zanglu suddenly came to Beijing, what happened?" ”

"It seems to be a letter for the king." Ba Zheng tilted his head and tried to recall, "When I arrived in the capital, I presented the letter to the emperor." ”

"Didn't leave after delivering the letter?"

Ba Zheng shook his head, "I didn't leave." The above instructed that when foreigners come to our Great Xia, as long as they have money to afford the expenses, and they don't act as demons or make trouble, we can't rush out......"

Lu Li understands Emperor Taijia's policy a little, if the foreigners really want to make trouble, you just rush out, and they can also find a way to hide, so it is better to watch it under their noses, and they can also show that Daxia has a wide belly.

"So he just stayed in Shangjing for more than a year?" Shen Wansha was surprised, "What do you want to do?" ”

Ba Zheng had a 'I also want to know' expression, "This person is very boring, and it is indeed a little strange to stay in the museum most of the time and not go out." ”

Lu Li's eyes drooped slightly, and his hands were clasped, "Who is he usually close to?" ”

Ba Zheng was a little embarrassed, "He is bored and doesn't like to find trouble, so the lower officials didn't pay too much attention." But there were never any of his visitors in the museum, and when he came with the mission, he was only with the Tanguts......"

"Does he know martial arts?"

"Yes."

"So he doesn't have a sense of zΓ i, and he doesn't cause trouble, even if he makes Qinggong suddenly disappear in the hall and does something big outside, you don't know?"

"This ...... Hongrokan respects the habits of people of different races, so it ......"

Lu Li sighed lightly and looked at Zhao Zhu.

Zhao Shu shook his head at him.

The security of Shangjing City has always been strict, and it is more sensitive to people of different races, and it is impossible not to be detected if he does evil everywhere with his martial arts.

Therefore, this Wu Zanglu may be an innocent victim; If he has a secret, then what he does is definitely not such a conspicuous thing as murder and arson......

Lu Li's eyes were slightly gloomy, and he continued to ask, "What hobbies does he have?" ”

This Ba Zheng knew, and his eyes immediately became excited, "He likes to watch Miss Yaoqing dance!" ”

"Yaoqing ......" Lu Li felt that he had heard this name, and after a little recollection, he remembered it! When Xue Junda dragged Qu Jiu to quarrel yesterday, he mentioned this name, and the two seemed to be jealous because of this person......

Shen Wansha smiled ambiguously, "Miss Yaoqing is the most beautiful girl in the Qinyan Pavilion, with the thinnest waist and the most moving dancing posture, who doesn't like to watch it?" ”

"Do you know Miss Yaoqing?" Lu Li looked at Shen Wansha.

Shen Wansha winked at him, "But if you go to the capital, who doesn't know Miss Yaoqing?" However, the Yaoqing girl is beautiful and expensive, not everyone can see it, if you are interested, the young master will take you there, the young master is ......"

Suddenly, his scalp was numb, his hairs stood up, Shen Wansha subconsciously turned his head, and when he saw Zhao Zhu's murderous expression, the words in his mouth immediately turned around, "Uh...... Although the young master is not short of money, Miss Yaoqing is not short of money, she is not interested, and she can't see it. But King Ping must have an idea, little oak, you ask King Ping to bring it, he must have a way! ”

Zhao Zhu glanced at Shen Wansha, and felt that this child was often taken away with Helian Yu, and his careful eyes grew a lot. But the daughter-in-law still had to answer the question, and he kept a straight face, "If you really need it, this king will take you there." ”

Lu Li was satisfied, and just as he was about to continue to ask Ba Zheng if he was very close to the girl Yaoqing, he heard the piercing sound of gongs outside, and someone shouted anxiously, "Go to the waterβ€”go to the waterβ€”"

Lu Li and Shen Wansha glanced at each other, and immediately ran out of the door, Zhao Shu not only ran out, but also waved his hand to give instructions, so that the secret guards would pay attention to help.

Running out of the main hall and following the direction of the noisy sound, several people quickly saw the place where the fire started.

The fire started in the northeast corner of the Honglu Pavilion, as if it was a small building alone, and the smoke was billowing out, and the flames were looming and churning, and the situation was very bad.

Lu Li was a little anxious, "Zhao Zhu-"

Zhao Zhujaw, "I've already let people go." ”

On a March day, the sun was shining brightly and dazzling, almost illuminating almost all the dark corners, Lu Li didn't understand very much, why did the fire burn in this morning?

Shen Wansha took his little friend's hand, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look!" ”

When he got closer, smelling the smell in the air, Lu Li's brows furrowed tightly, "There is tung oil." ”

Zhao Zhu's face sank like water, and his slender eyes narrowed, "Not bad." ”

"Tung oil ......" Shen Wansha suddenly realized, "So someone deliberately set fire!" No wonder the fire is so big and burns so fast! ”

When I saw it from a distance, the small building still had more smoke and less fire, and there were not many traces of destruction.

Shen Wansha clenched his fists indignantly, "This person is too bad, he dares to set fire to hurt people in broad daylight!" ”

Ba Zheng came with them, and couldn't help but be nervous when he heard this, "This small building is where the embassies store their items, and the staff of the embassies take turns on duty on weekdays, and today is just a day off, so no one should be ......."

No one? No one is okay, at least not in the loss of life. But if there is no one, what is this fire trying to burn?

But whatever the doubts, we have to put them aside for now, and the most important thing is to put out the fire!

……

The small building is wooden, the fire is difficult to extinguish, coupled with the tung oil to help burn, it is more difficult to extinguish, and a bucket of water is like a drop in the bucket, how is it not enough.

Most of the guards in the Honglu Temple were involved in the firefighting work, the low martial arts carried water and poured water on the part that caught fire below, and the high ones jumped higher and poured water on the upper part, and everyone present actively did what they could, just wanting to extinguish this terrible flame.

Including Lu Li and Shen Wansha.

The fire attracted many people of different races, some of whom stood by and some of whom were active in fighting the fire.

Zhao Zhu personally commanded the crowd to disperse, divided the responsibilities of various places, and even brought in water trucks and led the escort team to transport light functional large barrels to transport more water......

In the end, King Ping was present, the scene was extremely efficient, and everyone united to finally extinguish the fire.

When the fire was extinguished, half of the building collapsed, and the other half was blackened, and it was impossible to see what it looked like.

Lu Li took a handkerchief to wipe off the black smoke marks on Zhao Zhu's face, and saw the small abrasions on his forehead, which was quite distressing, "It's hard work." ”

The situation is very extreme, Zhao Shu didn't play hooligan this time, he only took the handkerchief in Lu Li's hand and wiped it himself, "This fire is weird." ”

"It's not strange!" Shen Wansha also wiped his face with a wet handkerchief, "There is no one inside, what is the arsonist trying to do?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Hong You, who was the first to enter the fire to check, walked out, "Lord Wang, there are people inside!" ”

"Yes...... Person? Shen Wansha immediately glared at Ba Zheng fiercely, "Don't you say that there is no one!" ”

Ba Zheng bowed pitifully, "Today's rest is really not supposed to be anyone's ......"

"Is man alive?" Lu Li is more concerned about this issue.

"It's dead," Hong You's expression was solemn, "the body has been burned black." ”

Zhao Shu ordered his subordinates to guard the surroundings, and turned his head to call Lu Li, "Go in and have a look." ”

Lu Li nodded, and took the lead in raising his feet and walking inside, Shen Wansha and Zhao Zhu were by his side, followed by the secret guard Hong You and his subordinates, and then behind were Ba Zheng, who was in charge of receiving them, and members of the foreign missions.

Lu Li walked while observing the scene, the corpse, his expression was extremely serious, Zhao Zhu in addition to observing these, paid more attention to the sturdiness of the small building, worried that the building was fragile and suddenly collapsed.

Lu Li slowly walked to the corpse, the corpse was indeed as Hong You said, there were traces of burning, but it had not yet been charred, and it was quite complete.

The body was lying on its side, its limbs bent in a boxing position, and its clothes had been burned. After Lu Li carefully checked the signs of the corpse up and down, he suddenly sneered, "The deceased was not burned to death, but after dying for unknown reasons, he was burned like this." ”

"Really?" Shen Wansha looked surprised, "That is, kill first and burn later, the murderer wants to destroy the corpse!" ”

Lu Li nodded and glanced at Zhao Zhu.

"Yes, the murderer definitely didn't expect King Ping to be here, and the fire could be saved in such a timely manner!" Shen Wansha followed Lu Li's gaze to see Zhao Zhu, and suddenly punched his palm, "The weather is dry and dry, the small building is small, and it is burned with tung oil, it doesn't take much time for the entire small building to burn out!" Ba Zheng also said that Xiaolou is on duty today to rest, there is no one inside, the fire is too fierce, the life of the firefighter is more important, no one will go in desperately, the dead can be burned to ashes before being revealed! ”

Listening to the conversation between the two, everyone was also enlightened and understood what was going on.

But Lu Li said that he was burned after death, that is, he was burned after death? Those who did not participate in the spring hunt, or did not see Lu Li's table during the spring hunt, will inevitably have questions.

Zhao Shu couldn't see that his daughter-in-law was suspected, not even a little glance, so he simply asked for these people, "How can I be sure that it is a corpse that will be burned after death?" ”

He is confident that Lu Li has absolute knowledge and explanation, and saying it in front of everyone can also improve Lu Li's prestige.

Lu Li was a little surprised, Zhao Shu would ask this? Seeing Zhao Shu quietly winking at him avoiding people, he realized that he had come to ...... In a sense, Zhao Zhu also broke his heart for him.

"Simple." Lu Li smiled slightly, accepted this feeling, quietly handed back a 'reassuring' look, and began to explain the corpse.

"When the living are caught in fire, and the fire is forced to fight, there will be soot in the mouth and nose, but the dead will not have ......"

Before he could finish speaking, someone hurriedly spoke, "What if he covers his mouth with a wet veil?" ”

Shen Wansha sneered, "If you cover your mouth with a wet handkerchief, it's okay to run out; didn't run out and still burned to death in the fire, the veil must have been burned before the person, even if it was not burned, the person was burned and couldn't move and waited for death, how could he still have the strength to cover his mouth? ”

"That's true." Lu Li nodded solemnly and looked around, "In additionβ€”"

Pointing to the corpse, he continued, "When a living person is burned by fire, there will be blisters on his skin, and the burning of a dead person is also an occasional sign of this, but when the blood of a living person comes and goes, and the body tries to repair it, there will be red spots around the blisters, and there will be no ...... This corpse, no. ”

"If a living person can't escape from the fire zone, it must be very painful, and it is impossible not to struggle and roll when burned, and if there are burn marks, there will be burns all over the body, but this deceased-" Lu Li gently pushed down the corpse, making the corpse lie on its side to lying on its back, revealing the left side of the body that had just been pressed underneath and in contact with the ground, "Everyone, please see, the skin and flesh are very good, and ......."

Now everyone is convinced, and sure enough!

Although the body of the deceased has not been charred, the burn marks are strict, and the face is no longer recognizable, Lu Li asked Ba Zheng and the guards to help inquire about where someone is missing and what the specific characteristics are, so that it is convenient to come and identify the body.

As for himself...... I want to find out what the cause of death was.

Although the fire did not burn the body, it burned most of the traces on the body, and just looking at it like this, it was impossible to determine the cause of death, and he needed to dissect it.

As soon as Lu Li's words came out, the scene was quiet again.

The aliens who participated in the spring hunt yesterday didn't know what to put on a good expression, they didn't succeed yesterday, and they came again today!

Someone was killed for two days in a row, one was clearly a Tangut person, and the other was unknown, but he died in a place where aliens gathered, and it was possible that he was also a foreigner, Lu Li felt very unusual.

Yesterday it was poisoned, today this ...... Isn't that too?

He looked at Zhao Zhu very eagerly, hoping that Zhao Shu could achieve the dissection goal for him.

Zhao Zhu couldn't stand Lu Li's eyes the most, his eyes were clear and full of longing...... If only the daughter-in-law could look at him like that in bed!

"Section!" Must be cut!
