Chapter 165: Smoke Pavilion

Yang Zhen opened the door and saw Li Xia and Zuo Tianqi standing at the door, directing the soldiers to tie up the two. Then he came over and asked, "Are the two people who were caught alive or dead?" ”

Li Xia arched his hand and said, "My lord, it's alive!" ”

"Okay, bring it into my room, and I'll ask them, who is the mastermind?"

The lights in the room were dim, and after Yang Zhen sat down, Li Xia also stood beside him. Yang Zhen asked, "Brother Li, it's so late, why are you here?" ”

Li Xia saw that he had changed his title from Lord Li to Brother Li, and knew that the mustard had been eliminated, so he smiled and said: "My lord, I brought two people, they may be able to help us solve the puzzle, so I came overnight, on the way, I suddenly panicked, I knew that the adult was in trouble, Pegasus came to rescue, fortunately I didn't miss the adult's business, the emperor asked me to protect the adult's safety, it seems to be correct." ”

Yang Zhen's heart was agitated, he knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the imperial city and thanked him: "Your Majesty, I really have insightful opinions, I expected that these villains would also murder their own officials, and they are really the benefactors of the ministers!" It is difficult to repay the king's grace even if the minister dies! ”

His voice trembled, and the excitement in his heart could be seen. Li Xia smiled and said, "Lord Yang, it was Deng Guiren who recommended Li Xia to the emperor, and it was she who expected that the adults would be in danger. ”

"Deng Guiren?" Yang Zhen read it silently, and had a new understanding of this stunning beauty who was only famous but had not met around the emperor. As he spoke, the two of them were taken into the room trembling as they were splashed with cold water.

"Day you grandma! If you want to kill or chop, hurry up, the uncle will not frown. ”

Li Xia looked at the big man who spoke, he was the one who had been stabbed by himself, but he didn't say anything. also said with three points of admiration: "You are a good man, but it's a pity that you follow the wrong person." Who are you assigned, and why do you murder adults? ”

"Murder? We weren't ordered to murder him, we just let us steal his part! ”

The man seemed to have no scheming, and replied angrily.

The other person was trampled on by Li Xia and broke his right leg, crawling on the ground, gritting his teeth and not saying a word. Listen to the man. Angry, he shouted: "You stupid, is this the right thing to say?" ”

"Oh? So you say, what should you say? Yang Zhen asked.

The man snorted again. Close your eyes and stop talking.

Li Xia saw that he was alert, so he ordered left and right: "Take him to the ear room next to him and don't give him food." Until he begs for mercy. ”

When the soldiers heard this, they rushed forward like wolves. Dragged the man out, "Don't speak, watch out for your whole family." Until he went out the door, he heard his shrill scream. The big man on the ground took a sip and said, "I know." You still need to tell! ”

Li Xia squatted in front of him and asked, "Tell me, who is the mastermind." If you make meritorious service, the emperor will reward you. ”

But the big man also kept his mouth shut. Not a word. Yang Zhen said: "It seems that he was forced to be coerced, so he was also pulled to the ear room!" ”

After the two assassins were dragged away, Zuo Tianqi had already walked in with Lu Qingying, and Yang Zhen hurriedly got up to greet him, "This is"

Li Xia said: "My lord, this is Lord Right Guard, this is his wife Lu Qingying, I said that the two people I brought are them." ”

Zuo Tianqi begged Yang Zhen and compared him to his position, so Yang Zhen thanked him again. Letting go of the seat, Zuo Tianqi smiled and said: "You don't have to be polite, several of us were childhood friends with Deng Guiren, and he sent Brother Li to help you, so we should help." ”

He mentioned Deng Guiren again, Yang Zhen was shocked again, and said quietly: "Deng Guiren lives with good friends, and she must also be a great woman." ”

Lu Qingying smiled and said, "My lord, if you have the opportunity to meet Sui'er in the future, you will know, her intelligence is far higher than ours!" You're welcome, take that one out and I'll take a look.

Yang Zhen took it out of his sleeve, Lu Qingying looked at it for a while, and suddenly chuckled: "That's right, do adults have bamboo chips?" ”

"Yes!" After that, Yang Zhen took out a few pieces and put them on the table. Lu Qingying rolled up the book, put a bamboo slice at every other point, and filled in the last stroke with pen and ink.

Yang Zhen was surprised: "Mrs. Zuo is so capable, how did you come up with it?" ”

Lu Qingying smiled and said: "I am not a brother, I used to play this game when I was a child, and adults are strict in their studies, so they may not have played this way." So I don't know, but we're familiar with it. My lord, I don't know where this smoke pavilion is. Please find out for yourself! ”

Saying that, he took Zuo Tianqi and left the post house and rode away.

Yang Zhen was overjoyed, and looked at these two words for a long time before asking Li Xiadao: "Brother Li, do you know where this Yan Pavilion is in Beijing?" ”

Li Xia shook his head and said: "I have studied all the places in Beijing, and I am also very curious about the mansions of each family, I have visited them, but I have never heard of this "Smoke Pavilion", my lord, do you think Lord Su's lady will know about this place?" ”

Yang Zhen nodded: "I also have this idea, but why didn't Master Su tell his lady directly?" Do you have to go to great lengths to hide the evidence and leave us with a mystery? ”

Li Xia said: "My lord, is it that Lord Su has been threatened by someone before, and he is helpless, just in case?" ”

"Now, I have to make such an explanation." He sighed and said: "His family is newly mourned, widowed mother and young children, it is not good for me to disturb at night, since I know this location, then the key must be to open the smoke pavilion." Early tomorrow morning, you and I will gather Master Li and visit again. ”

Li Xia nodded and said, "In this way, Li Xia will guard the adult here for one night, and accompany the adult tomorrow." ”

Yang Zhen said: "No, Brother Li, please go back, they lost their manpower here, and they will never dare to come again at night." You can go back with peace of mind, and I'll let you do a lot of patrols. ”

Li Xia had no choice but to say goodbye and go back to sleep without mentioning it.

Early in the morning, Li Xia rode a horse to see Yang Zhen, and when he was far away, he saw Li He with two attendants, picked two food boxes, and came in a hurry. The older Li He gets, the more he doesn't see the slightest age, but the more elegant, elegant and peaceful.

Li Xia called out loudly: "Lord Li, Li Xia has seen the salute." ”

Li He saw him coming. also smiled: "What a coincidence, did you sleep well last night?" ”

"It's okay, I went to bed late, how can the adults ask this?" Li Xia asked strangely.

"I have secretly calculated a hexagram yesterday, and the hexagram says that Lord Yang had a catastrophe last night, but there are nobles to help him, and he is safe and sound. He didn't say anything. I think this noble person is Brother Li! ”

Li Xia really obeyed this Li He. seemed to know everything, so he deliberately teased him: "So how is the case, is Master Li also counted?" ”

Li He smiled and pointed to the east and said, "The sun rises in the east." A ball of harmony, this case has been solved halfway, I think the mystery has been solved! ”

Li Xia was even more curious, and Shi Li said: "My lord." What a strange person, it is true that last night it was known to be where! ”

Li He stroked his beard and said, "Then hurry up." I'm afraid that someone will be the first to get there! ”

"What do you mean, sir?" Li Xia is respectful and admiring Li He at the moment.

Li He smiled and said, "It's okay, it's too late to go in a while, I brought breakfast and ate it." Just go. ”

The two of them laughed and entered the pavilion, and saw that Yang Zhen was already dressed and waiting at the door, and saw them coming. He said, "Let's go, go now." ”

"Don't be busy. I went after breakfast. Li He stopped Yang Zhen.

"Master Li, how can I have the heart to eat now, I just want to quickly unravel the answer and let Lord Su sleep underground!" Yang Zhen was already extremely impatient.

Li He smiled calmly and said, "Don't worry, if you go now, you won't see a good show." ”

"What does that mean?" Li Xia and Yang Zhen were both stunned and looked straight at Li He.

Li He laughed, put the items in the food box on the table one by one, and said, "Come on, come on, eat something!" ”

The two had no choice but to sit down and eat a few bites randomly, where to eat, they didn't know the taste of food, but Li He ate very sweetly. When he finished eating, he clapped his hands and said, "Let's go, it's just right to go now." ”

When the three of them rode to the door of Su's house, they saw a person crying in front of the spirit, Zheng wiped his tears and cried with him, and the ministers next to him talked about it, and they all sighed and shed tears.

Look closely, that person is the lieutenant Lu Lin who greeted them yesterday! I only heard him cry and said: "Brother Su, you and I have a deep brotherly relationship, you just went, and you didn't say a word to your brother, you wake up quickly, look at me, you go, ask me to find someone to be friends with in the future!" ”

Yang Zhen's heart was sour, and he almost burst into tears, and was about to step forward to dissuade him, but Li He grabbed him, swept the corner of his eyes, and saw that two people had come out from behind, walked to Lu Lin's side and pulled him up, it seemed to be a consolation, and it seemed to be a whisper, seeing that Lu Lin wiped his tears and stood up, and said to Zheng: "Mrs. Sister-in-law, I have ordered someone to bring silver money and other things, all of which have been put in the back hall, please ask Mrs. Sister-in-law to come back and have a look." ”

Zheng wiped away his tears and said: "You have come to visit every day these days, and you have helped in many ways, I am already grateful, and what kind of money do you want to give, I really can't accept this, adults don't accept a needle or a thing from others before they are alive, he goes, I can't accept it!" ”

Lu Lin pushed her to the back hall, Li He made a quiet gesture on his lips, and slowly followed behind him, only to hear Lu Lin ask: "Mrs. Sister-in-law, can you hear what Yan Pavilion Su has before his life?" ”

Yang Zhen was taken aback, and was about to speak, but Li Xia pulled him, his eyes flashed, and he had already jumped out, he sneered and stood in front of Lu Lin and said: "Lieutenant Lu is so interested, he actually pretended to send money to set a woman's words, so shameless." ”

Suddenly, the two of them came out from behind and attacked Li Xia, Li Xia pushed and sent one of them with both hands, and he stumbled under his feet, and the man jumped up and slashed at the top of Li Xia's head. Li Xia dodged, rushed forward, the sharp blade in his hand had come out, straight into the man's right abdomen, but he only inserted half of his hand and then withdrew his hand, pulled out the knife, and threw himself at the other person, the man jumped up and kicked Li Xia's hand, but Li Xia didn't care about him, only cut the knife to his leg. The man was startled, it was too late to retract his leg, and he only felt a pain in his leg, and blood had spurted out.

Lu Lin didn't panic, and said, "Isn't this brother Yang's subordinate?" How did you get here? At the feet of the Son of Heaven, you are too arrogant! This official is in charge of the local security, come here, take down this person! ”

As soon as he shouted, he saw that people were responding from all directions, and after a while, dozens of people had arrived and surrounded Li Xia. (To be continued...... ）
