Chapter 227: Chasing
As long as Bai Xiaoyou delivers a letter, King Ping will definitely come over!
Zhuo Xiuyuan said this sentence categorically, as if as long as he believed in him, when he believed in Bai, Wen Qi and Wen Jiabao would be able to soar into the sky, if they didn't believe it and missed this opportunity, they would be stupid!
Bai Shi's big eyes flickered, and a red glow flew on his face, "Uncle Zhuo, King Ping has a lot of opportunities, and he is busy with official business, so he may not be able to come......"
"With your heart and soul here, how can he not come?" Zhuo Xiuyuan stroked his beard lightly and glared at Baishi, "You are not allowed to be modest anymore!" "It's said that it's staring, but it's actually full of care.
Lu Li closed his eyes slightly and didn't watch the performance of these two people.
But he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, Zhao Zhu and Bai Shi ...... Even if there is no real relationship, the relationship must not be ordinary, otherwise how can people be so sure?
The expressions of the people in the room were different, but Wen Qi did not speak.
"The castle master can't trust me, and he should be." Bai Shi's eyebrows drooped slightly, the corners of his lips were slightly curved, and his smile was well-behaved and soft, "Although I am a little famous, I didn't know the castle owner before, and Mr. Lu Zhuyu was in front of the autopsy, after all, seeing is believing, and the castle owner believes in Mr. Lu more, I don't have anything to say." β
"I can open the coffin with Mr. Lu for an autopsy, and it doesn't matter if Mr. Lu is in charge."
He seems to be very knowledgeable and very modest.
Zhuo Xiuyuan frowned slightly, as if he was wronged by Bai Shi, and Bai Shi pulled Zhuo Xiuyuan's sleeve, "Uncle Zhuo, I'm here to help, as long as I can help Lord Wenbao, I can do anything." β
Zhuo Xiuyuan nodded slightly and did not speak.
But Wen Qi still didn't say anything.
Zhuo Xiuyuan is not happy, he and Bai Shi have both retreated to this one, what are you not satisfied with!
Wen Qi frowned, silent, and made a deep appearance, as if he had thought of something else.
What could be more touching than this incident in Wen Qi's heart? Wen Jiabao has reached such a position, if Wen Qi insists on going his own way, what can be done to stop it?
Zhuo Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly remembered something......
"Virtuous nephew, take a step to speak." His eyelids moved slightly, and there was a gleam in his eyes.
Wen Qi seemed to be stunned for a moment, then nodded solemnly, arched his hand at Lu Li and Bai Shi, and walked out of the room with Zhuo Xiuyuan.
The two walked to the small pavilion at the corner of the corridor, Zhuo Xiuyuan looked at it, and there was no one around, before he said softly, "The virtuous nephew is afraid of the sect master's order?" β
Wen Qi was stunned again, and then his eyes widened, as if to say, 'How do you know'.
Zhuo Xiuyuan stroked his beard, his back straight, "Recently, rumors have spread that the sect master ordered the reappearance of the rivers and lakes, and he wanted to gather all the people in the rivers and lakes, how could I not have heard it?" If you are worried about this, I will say two things about you. β
"Your father was indeed saved by the suzerain's order holder when he was young, but your father's many actions later reciprocated, and the suzerain's order and righteousness have been cleared, otherwise he would not have deliberately cut off contact with Baibaolou."
"Your father is now dead, Baibaolou has long lost its glory, and benevolence and righteousness have also been cleared, whether this suzerain's order really appeared, or Baibaolou deliberately tricked people to take the bait, you don't care. What you have to do is to improve yourself and develop Wenjiabao. β
Wen Qi tilted his head slightly, the cold wind blew the tips of his hair, and his voice was a little cold in the winter, "Uncle Zhuo thinks so?" β
"Of course." Zhuo Xiuyuan patted Wen Qi on the shoulder, "If Wenjiabao wants to develop, you are the top priority, so all the qiqi should be put first by your will." If you want to find out the cause of your father's death, do it; If you don't want to have anything to do with the Sect Master's Order, just kick it out! Don't worry, I will always be on your side and help you! β
Wen Qi looked at Zhuo Xiuyuan and seemed to smile, "Uncle Zhuo will really help me?" β
Zhuo Xiuyuan's old face flushed, "My Lianhua Villa has limited power, you hold a hero conference this time, I do have the intention of being close to you and developing a friendly relationship, I won't hide this from you, you should also see it." Butβ"
His expression changed to solemnity, "My affliction with your father is not fake! At that time, I was with my father, from the green forest eighteen sections back to back, your father was hit by two arrows in the leg, my arm was broken, and finally I carried him, two people worked together, life and death depended on each other, and finally fought a bloody road......"
"You juniors probably don't understand the weight of this affection. You are a good person, I can't help you, but if you are not strong at that time, I will definitely take you to the family to raise you, after all, your father's son, you are the only one......"
Zhuo Xiuyuan said and sighed, "Your father died suddenly, and immediately after his death, the family changed, the second and third leaders in the fort, your brothers jumped out to fight for property, what a family of black smoke miasma, our old fellows, our hearts are dripping blood!" It's a pity that no one can persuade me, I was injured by your brother in an accident at that time, and I was forced out of the Wen family...... Pity your father for the haste in which I have been, and I have been with him for so many years, and I have not left even a single thing on my mind......"
After speaking, Zhuo Xiuyuan cleaned up his mood, "As for me, I don't want you to sympathize with me, it doesn't matter if you don't answer me, I can watch you grow up for your father, and take Wen Jiabao to a high place, I will be satisfied." His wrinkled face was full of loneliness at the moment, "If you don't mind, give me one or two things that your father used to use during his lifetime as a thought, and my life will be complete." β
"Father's Things......
"You Wen Jiabao is rich, but I don't want anything valuable, just the cigarette pouch and pot that your father used to use. Of course, you can also give other things, such as the curled jade crown, the tea pet jade beast, and the less expensive ones. β
Zhuo Xiuyuan's eyes were a little red, "What I say is from the bottom of my heart, if you are willing to give, I will continue, if you don't believe it, it doesn't matter." After all, the person who intersects with me in life and death is your father, not you...... People are different. β
Zhuo Xiuyuan's eyes flashed slightly, as if he remembered his father, and he felt a lot.
After a while, he looked at Zhuo Xiuyuan, his eyes were earnest, "Uncle Zhuo is straightforward with me, and I don't dare to pretend to pass the commission." I will take the time to find out my father's things before his death, and choose two to give to Uncle Zhuo, but when this is white, I really can't believe it-"
"It's better to be like this," his eyes flashed with thought, "the day of the Heroes Meeting is approaching, and the people in the rivers and lakes are coming one after another, so I will gather everyone two days before the opening of the conference, so that everyone can witness the opening of the coffin and the autopsy." At that time, if Bai Shi can invite King Ping, then there is no doubt that he is the person in charge, but if he can't invite King Ping...... Uncle Zhuo, don't blame me for not giving face, Mr. Lu saved his life, but I saw it with my own eyes. β
Zhuo Xiuyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression suddenly became very excited, "Then it's decided!" I will definitely persuade Bai Xiaoyou to abandon his shame and write a letter to King Ping in person! β
Wen Qi smiled lightly, "I'm waiting for Uncle Zhuo's good news." β
β¦β¦
After Zhuo Xiuyuan and Wen Qi went out, only Lu Li and Bai Shi were left in the room.
Bai Shi smiled incomparably kindly at Lu Li, "What's Brother Lu's name?" I'm here like I'm fighting a war, and I don't know your full name! Saying that, he sat down opposite Lu Li very familiarly.
"Don't talk nonsense," Lu Li held the teacup with an indifferent expression, "Maybe I'm not as big as you." β
"I'll be twenty after the New Year," Bai Shi didn't seem to hear the alienation in Lu Li's voice, and smiled as he carried the teapot and poured tea, "What about you?" β
"Seventeen after the New Year."
Bai Shi's eyes widened, he bit his lip and was quiet for a while, before he suppressed the embarrassment of calling his brother just now, and looked Lu Li up and down, "I really can't see it at all!" You look quite mature and steady, I thought you were at least twenty-three or four! β
"Really?" Lu Li's eyebrows were calm, and he looked at him quietly, "I can see at a glance that you are twenty." β
The corners of Bai Shi's mouth twitched, and his smile was not so bright, "Your eyesight is so good." β
"When you are a servant, the most important thing is to have a good pair of eyes," Lu Li smiled, "Mr. Bai still needs to work hard." β
White time: ......
He's never seen anything so infuriating!
I really can't speak, and it's all sarcasm, how can people pick it up? This man must have no friends!
Bai Shi cleaned up his mood and prepared to fight again, not wanting a big white ball to suddenly rush into the room and startle him!
Although the names are white, Da Bai is very unfriendly to Bai Shi, his eyes are hanging and his teeth are hanging, and the threatening 'Wangwang' when he rushes Bai is screaming, if it weren't for Lu Li's owner, Da Bai can immediately rush up and bite him!
Bai Shi's frightened body leaned straight against the wall, his little face was pale, and he was about to cry when he saw it.
Lu Li squinted at Hu Weiwei, who was behind Da Bai, squatted down and hugged Da Bai in his arms, smoothing it, "Da Bai is good, it's okay......
When Zhuo Xiuyuan and Wen Qi came back, they saw such a scene.
There is a maid behind Lu Li, a big dog in his arms, and the master and servant add a big dog, and the bullies of Bai Shi will cry!
When Bai Shi saw them coming back, he trembled and called 'Castle Master', the voice was tactful and aggrieved, it was not a complaint, it was better than a complaint!
Zhuo Xiuyuan immediately jumped to his feet, "This is still a ...... It's worth it! Mr. Lu, why did Bai Xiaoyou provoke you, you bullied him so much! People would rather give up the position of head to you, you are not grateful, and you will take revenge for such kindness! β
"Master Zhuo Zhuang said cautiously," Lu Li smoothed Dabai's hair, his eyebrows and eyes were calm and quiet, "Who is in charge of the opening of the coffin and the autopsy, Lord Wenbao has not yet decided, why did he give it to me when it became white?" β
"How dare you quibbleβ"
Seeing that Zhuo Xiuyuan couldn't help but use force, Wen Qi stretched out his hand to stop him, "Uncle Zhuo, give me face." β
Zhuo Xiuyuan glared at Lu Li fiercely, pulled Bai Shi, flicked his sleeves and left.
Lu Li comforted Dabai and thanked Wen Qi, "Thank you, Lord Castle." β
Wen Qi glanced at the big white dog, "It's indeed a good dog." After saying goodbye to Lu Li, he also left.
The room quickly fell silent.
Lu Li patted Dabai and looked at Hu Weiwei, "You did it on purpose?" β
Hu Weiwei stuck out her tongue, "Who let that Jingba talk nonsense!" β
Wen Qi came over and had something to talk about with Lu Li, Hu Weiwei, as a maid, was not good to stay in the room, but she didn't dare to go far, after all, people are separated from each other, who knows if Wen Qi will suddenly have bad intentions towards Lu Li? So she found a good position, attacking and retreating, and discussed with Dabai to let it lie quietly and not move.
Zhuo Xiuyuan and Bai Shi came over, as long as they had martial arts, they could hear it, but Wen Qi didn't react, and Hu Weiwei didn't want to catch up, so she stayed quietly.
It wasn't until a few people finished talking about things that Zhuo Xiuyuan and Wen Qi left, Bai Shi tried every possible way to bully Lu Li, she really couldn't bear it, so she came in, who knew that Da Bai was so caring and knew who the enemy was!
She patted Da Bai's back, "Tomorrow the old lady will get you a pot of stick bones, pieces with meat!" β
"Wow!" Da Bai shouted excitedly.
Lu Li stroked his forehead, "You guys, ......"
β¦β¦
Zhuo Xiuyuan pulled Bai Shi away and walked to a place where there was no one, "I have discussed with Wen Qi, as long as you write a letter to ask King Ping to come over and open the coffin for an autopsy, it will be up to you." β
Bai Shi's eyes flickered, "King Ping is busy with official business, so he may not have time to ......"
Zhuo Xiuyuan glanced at Bai Shi meaningfully, "Really?" β
Bai Shi curled the corners of his lips and smiled sweetly at Zhuo Xiuyuan, "Uncle Zhuo invited me to come, isn't it clear?" β
"Of course I do." Zhuo Xiuyuan stroked his beard, and his voice was slightly deep, "King Ping's love is more important than you, because he has a marriage contract on his back, it is not good to put you on the cusp, so if it is just you writing a letter, no matter how much he misses, he will not come to avoid suspicion." But if something big happens to Xishan Zhuangzi, in order to keep the peace of Shangjing and take a look at you by the way, it is impossible for him not to come......"
Bai Shi grabbed Zhuo Xiuyuan's sleeve, "Then thank you Uncle Zhuo for giving us a lovesick relationship!" β
"Be nice, and be good then, huh?" Zhuo Xiuyuan patted Bai Shi's head.
When he was white, his eyes were curved like crescent moons, and there seemed to be stars shining inside, "Uncle Zhuo can't trust me?" β
"If I don't believe you, I won't look for you......" Zhuo Xiuyuan laughed, "Let's go, Uncle Zhuo will send you back to the room!" β
Zhuo Xiuyuan didn't say anything would happen to Xishan Zhuangzi, and Bai Shi didn't ask, the two of them had a tacit understanding of each other's actions and knew what they should do.
β¦β¦
Three days have passed, Wen Qi's investigation and interrogation continued, but unfortunately he gained little, and there was no particularly good news for the time being, but Ruan Ying's body was better.
The winter sunset water is very harmful to his body, although he has been awake for a long time, he still needs to recuperate, and Dr. Shi specially instructed him not to get out of bed these days.
When Lu Li went over to see him, he was holding a bowl of medicine to drink.
"Mr. Lu is here," seeing Lu Li, his beautiful eyes were bent, and he patted the position next to the bed very enthusiastically, "Come and sit." β
Lu Li looked at his complexion, which was much better than before, "But it's better?" β
Ruan Ying nodded, "It's much better." This time, I was able to survive this catastrophe thanks to Mr. β
Lu Li helped him adjust the pillow behind him, so that he could sit and talk to him.
Lu Li didn't talk about the case immediately, but chatted about the calligraphy and painting that Ruan Ying was interested in, "I've been to your room, and there is a facsimile of "Cutting the Qin" on the wall, do you like Gu Kaizhi?" β
Ruan Ying's eyes lit up, "Well, I like it very much!" β
The two of them chatted about it.
Lu Li likes to read, but he doesn't know much about painting, but this doesn't affect their chat. As long as he shows his appreciation and enthusiasm for knowledge, Ruan Ying, who is good at this, is very willing to popularize science for him. Ruan Ying knew that Lu Li had saved him at that time, and he was also a little curious about what he had done, so he asked Lu Li, and Lu Li picked up an interesting chat with him.
The two chatted for a long time, and both sides gained a lot, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
It wasn't until Lu Li found that Ruan Ying was tired that he stopped chatting, asked him slowly about falling into the water, and said that he knew that he had met Chun Xingzeng, and asked him if this incident was related to the death of the old castle lord.
Ruan Ying was silent for a long time and did not speak.
Lu Li sighed, "Don't worry, Wen Qi is not here, what you say to me, I will consider what to say to him." β
Ruan Ying said this.
He said that a few years ago, on the night of the old castle owner's death, he went to find his mother and went to the garden, but before he could get close to the water pavilion where the old castle lord lived, he was knocked out from behind. He felt that this matter was not simple, it should be that he was knocked unconscious by something he saw inadvertently, but he couldn't remember anything, and this matter had almost become a demon recently.
A few days ago, he had a thought about it and wanted to go back to the garden, so he went alone. It was just an accident when he met Chun Xing before, and he didn't fall into the water voluntarily, but a pair of hands suddenly appeared in the dark and pushed him into the lake.
The night was too dark, he didn't see anyone coming, and he didn't know who did it.
As for Chun Xing's accident, he is even more unclear.
Ruan Ying said quickly, and Lu Li knew that he didn't tell everything he knew, such as about Chun Xing...... He seemed to be thinking about something. But Lu Li also believes that Ruan Ying really has no clue about the murderer, and his desire to help Wen Qi is true.
β¦β¦
The time for the Heroes Meeting is getting closer and closer, and there are more and more people in the Wen family's Xishan Zhuangzi. There are many people in the rivers and lakes, and it is indispensable to drink in a big bowl when they meet, and they have to play a few tricks while they are happy after drinking, and they are very lively every day.
The people of the rivers and lakes are considered a source of danger when they get together, these people are still fighting and fighting every day, and some people report anonymously, and the report of the military headquarters camp was quickly put on the table of King Ping.
Bangzi knocked four times, the candle shadow in the study swayed, and Zhao Shu didn't mean to sleep yet.
Yuan Lian was a little worried about his body, and tried to mention, "Lord Wang, why don't we go over and have a look?" Xishan is too close to the gate of Shangjing, what if something really happens, what if you call? β
Zhao Shu was sitting with his arms crossed and waiting for the latest news from Xing Zuo and Hong You, when he heard this, he sneered, "They don't dare." β
"But the military headquarters and the battalion have all sent a report ......"
"Cai Duo can't even clean up this bit of miscellaneous fish in the rivers and lakes, and let this king go out in person, and he shouldn't be a general."
"So let's ...... Not going? β
"No, no." Zhao Zhu glanced at Yuan Lian, "If you want to play, it's up to you." β
Yuan Lian laughed and scratched his head, "I didn't think about ...... either"
While the two were talking, Xing Zuo floated in with the cold wind, "Lord Wang, there is a discovery!" β
Zhao Zhu's slender eyes narrowed, "Speak!" β
Xing Zuo carefully took out a stack of drawings from his arms and unfolded them on the table in front of Zhao Shu, "This is a subordinate and Hong You turned it out of a blacksmith shop, Wang Ye look at it, what does it look like?" β
The drawings were lit up, and they were drawn with knives, scissors, needles, and hammers of strange lengths and shapes......
Everything is strange, and everything is familiar.
Zhao Zhu's eyes suddenly flashed, and his fists were clenched tightly.
"This is the Princess's corpse dismemberment tool!" Even Yuan Lian recognized it, there is a special box in the prince's study now, and inside is exactly the same tool!
Zhao Zhu stared at the drawings tightly, "Where is he?" β
"I don't know, Hong You is still investigating." Xing Zuo hurriedly explained, "This blacksmith's mouth is very tight, if it weren't for his son's mouth, his subordinates wouldn't have been able to find him." β
Hong You is the leader of the Dark Guard Squad, and Zhao Shu knows his ability, even if he has a clue, he will definitely find out what he wants. But Zhao Zhu couldn't wait, thinking that Lu Li was nearby, he couldn't wait for a moment!
"Lead the way!"
Xing Zuo didn't dare to ignore it, "Yes!" β
On the way to gallop on horseback, Zhao Zhu's eyes were eager, and his heart was beating like a drum.
You can't go wrong! You can't go wrong this time!
The only person in the world who will use this set of tools is Lu Li, and only his Lu Li!
β¦β¦
The blacksmith is a man with a work ethic, feels that things are different, and refuses to tell the truth. But where could he carry Hong You's interrogation methods, and when it was almost dawn, he still recruited him.
said that it was a beautiful girl, who was personally accompanied by Qian Kunqian of the treasure shop, and the two of them watched him do it together.
Pretty Girl......
Money in charge......
Zhao Shu smashed a table, "Check it for me!" β
Hong Youyuan was fast, and immediately turned around and ran out, Xing Zuo was a little slower, so he had to stare at the backs of the two with tears in his eyes, and stayed to guard King Ping.
He rearranged a clean place, asked the prince to sit down, and then beckoned someone to carry the blacksmith out, and found a good doctor to treat his wounds...... Try to find things to do, keep yourself busy, and don't let the prince look in the eyesore.
Fortunately, the friends were more reliable, and soon brought the news of Qian Kun.
said that this Qian Kunming was a treasure shop on the surface, but in fact he was the big boss of Baibaolou in Beijing. At present, the chief official is accepting the invitation to be a guest at Wenjiabao's Zhuangzi in Xishan.
According to insiders, Qian Kun has often been in contact with a beautiful girl recently, and he also gave the address of the beautiful girl.
Zhao Zhu led people to the small courtyard, and immediately determined that Lu Li had lived there! His favorite books, his favorite clothing styles, and his favorite tea sets...... There are still words he wrote in the study, and there are even big white dog hair in the corners around it!
The room was very tidy and there were a lot of things, all of which showed that the owner had just left a little and would come back in the future.
Leave for a short time...... That Qian Kun and the woman also left for a short time and went to the Wen family's Xishan Zhuangzi, so Lu Li was also there!
Zhao Zhu immediately flew up and stepped on the horse, "Go to Xishan!" β
The Dark Guards immediately assembled their squad and followed the Dust.
