Yang Zhen cleaned his hand, sat down, poured wine into the three of them, raised the wine and said: "I have been ordered by the emperor, I really dare not have a moment of negligence, and now I have the help of the two, I am very happy, come, drink this Hu, and then only discuss the case."

Li He said with a smile: "Brother Tai, don't worry, with Brother Yang's talent, the case will be solved sooner or later, and I am not in a hurry. ”

Yang Zhen nodded, drank the wine in Huzhong and said: "This book of "Shangshu" is a book that Su Youfang often reads, it can be seen that the sage's training cannot be forgotten, and he also left it to us, but I don't know what mystery is contained in it?" ”

Li Xia said: "I have received the wishes of adults, and I dare not take this toast!" He smiled and said, "I've never drunk much, but that's enough." As he spoke, he also drank wine and said to Yang Zhen: "When I was a child, I traveled to study, and there was a story, I don't know if it can be related to this book. ”

Yang Zhen nodded and said, "Please speak." ”

Li Xia said: "When I went to Weiping County in Sizhou, I encountered a family in a lawsuit. At that time, it was already autumn, but the weather did not mean to get cooler at all, and several heavy rains stopped as soon as it fell, and the weather was unbearably hot. I sat in front of a house and enjoyed the coolness. ”

He talked faintly, and Li He was also attracted, looking at him intently, wanting to hear what he had to say.

At that time, the sun hung brightly in the sky, and the ground was curled in the sun. The floating soil on the avenue is like freshly fried noodles in a hot pot, and when you step on it, white smoke rises, scorching hot, and it burns people's hearts. Weiping was originally dry, but after the sun burned, it was even hotter. He sat on the steps. took off his hat and fanned it hard, but it didn't bring a trace of coolness. I was bored when I suddenly heard someone making noise. Then the door opened, and two people rushed out. He was startled, and when he looked closely, it was two men tearing at each other, their hair was already messy, and the clothes on their bodies were also one by one, and there were blood stains all over their bodies.

He stood aside and watched the commotion. Even the heat was forgotten, and later the two women also rushed out and scuffled. It's even worse. There were more people who came to see the excitement, and he learned from others that this family was originally two brothers, because the old father passed away. To fight for family property. It's only come to this point.

He felt that the two of them were not very good, so he held the mentality of watching the excitement, and he was very happy to see it. At this time, I heard Lao Dao: "My father has a suicide note, and the house and property are mine, why are you fighting?" ”

The second child didn't show weakness, grabbed the eldest by the collar and shouted, "Yours? Nonsense! My father was pointing at me and saying it to me. You said that your father had a suicide note, what evidence do you have? ”

The boss shouted, "You said that your father pointed at you, who saw it." Who saw it? ”

The second lady ran out and said, "I saw it! ”

"It doesn't count if you see it!" The eldest lady came out and pulled the second lady, and the two scuffled again.

In the end, the chief came. I pulled the shelf. After hearing a few of what he said, the chief asked, "The official documents and the private seals, where is the suicide note you are talking about?" ”

The second child said: "He is talking nonsense, my father only left a book slip, and I can't understand what is messy on it, how can I prove that I left the family property to him?" ”

The boss took out the book and said to the chief: "Look, the chief, it is clearly written on this that the family property belongs to the eldest son." ”

The chief took it, and saw the big and small words on it, one on the left, one on the right, not together at all, there are a few words that the boss said, but what do the other words mean?

At this time, Lao Dao: "At that time, my father was not pointing to the second child, but to my family's broken basket." It is also said that whoever solves the mystery will own the family property. ”

The chief was also strange, so he picked up the broken basket to see, and then a teacher in the township came over and said: "Bao Chang, according to the villain, this is a puzzle left to future generations when the old gentleman died, you open the book, put the basket up, and then see the words in the eye!" ”

The chief of the security department put the basket on it as he said, and sure enough, the words exposed on it read, "Brothers are harmonious, the family business is prosperous, the land belongs to the eldest, the real estate belongs to the second, the items are divided in half, the surname remains the same, the ancestors are of the same origin, and relatives cannot be severed." ”

When the two brothers saw this, they looked at each other, and they were ashamed. He knelt in front of his father's spirit and wept loudly, vowing never to mention the separation again.

After Li Xia finished telling this story, he pointed to the book and said: "The villain thinks that the point behind this corresponds to the words in front, so we might as well write it down and take a look." ”

Yang Zhen clapped his hands and said: "This method is very wonderful, fast, shopkeeper, take bamboo slips and pen and ink." ”

Li He smiled silently, only looked at the two of them, and waited until the store brought pen and ink before saying: "The two of you compare, I'll write, and then come and see." ”

In this way, Li Xia pointed to a place on the back, and Yang Zhen looked for a word on the front, but some of the words matched, and some were much worse, so he tossed it to the time of the palm lamp, but still found nothing. The three of them were disappointed, so they had to discuss going back and thinking again, and then go to the Tingwei office to discuss it again the next day.

Li Xia's trick was useless, he felt very disappointed, and when he returned to the Deng Mansion, he still lowered his head and thought about it, and when he met Zuo Tianqi bringing two cans of wine, he smiled and said, "You don't have to accompany your beautiful lady today?" ”

I heard Lu Qingying's voice in my ears, "Who said that?" Qing Sakura has always been by her husband's side! ”

As soon as Li Xia turned around, he saw Lu Qingying standing behind him with a smile, and said with a smile: "You are a husband and a wife, but here you are angry with me, an old man who has no home and no woman?" ”

Zuo Tianqi pulled him and said: "Let's go, go into the house and say, there is so much nonsense there, I came to drink with you, so I drank happily!" ”

The three of them entered the courtyard and ran up to the hall. This courtyard was originally the old residence of the Deng family in the capital, and there have been servants to clean it, and the Deng family has gone out of the city to go home. When Li Xia returned, the maid had already prepared the meal.

After the three of them sat down, Zuo Tianqi poured wine for Li Xia and said, "I heard in the palace today that the emperor sent you on a mission?" ”

Li Xia nodded and said, "Not bad!" ”

Zuo Tianqi said with a smile: "This is the credit of Deng Guiren, I heard that it was the emperor she asked for." The emperor still remembered your rescue skills back then, and agreed in one bite, but. Why is there no official position? ”

Li Xia shook his head and said: "This is Sui'er's cleverness, if she blindly recommends, the emperor will definitely think that Sui'er is suspected of forming a gang in the court." But if I just recommend and don't give me an official position, and then I am crowned an official after I have made meritorious service, I will block the mouths of others, and no one can say that the emperor is biased. ”

Lu Qingying rolled her eyes and chuckled: "Sui'er's situation after entering the palace." I've heard something from Brother Fei, and I've always wondered why Sui'er stayed so quiet, who thought she had already started to act. I'm afraid it's even more powerful! ”

Li Xia glanced at her and quipped, "I didn't know Sui'er had these thoughts, but." You're not your brother. How did you do it for those warblers and swallows in the palace without squinting? ”

Qing Ying glanced at Zuo Tianqi, the two looked at each other and smiled, Zuo Tianqi said: "As long as I think about Qing Ying in my heart, no matter how beautiful other women are, what does it have to do with me?" ”

"Hear it, I love my brother, and he also loves Qingying. So I'm not worried either! ”

Li Xia looked at them and smiled: "That's it, don't dare to say anything more." My heart is sour. ”

Zuo Tianqi asked, "What, what is the progress of today's case?" ”

Li Xia sighed and told him about today's events from beginning to end, and finally he said: "Now I can't do anything, if I can't solve this puzzle, I'm afraid the case can only freeze here." ”

Lu Qingying thought for a while and said, "Can you let Qingying see those dots?" ”

Li Xia said: "That book is in Lord Yang's, why don't we go find him?" Qing Sakura, do you have a way? ”

Lu Qingying said: "I played a game when I was a child, non-brother, do you know?" ”。

Zuo Tianqi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "I remembered, maybe it really works!" Let's go, Brother Li, go find Lord Yang, maybe you can solve this strange case tonight. ”

Li Xiahu looked at the two of them suspiciously, seeing that they were full of confidence, "Okay, let's go, go now." ”

The three of them rode horses and headed west, they were not far from Yang Zhen's post house, Yang Zhen had just arrived in Beijing, and there was no mansion yet. A cold wind swept under the eaves, and the iron horse next to Fu Qi shook uneasily, making a cold crashing sound, and the three of them looked at the gradually darkening sky and walked slowly.

Li Xia's eyes flashed with a faint light, like two ghost fires that were bright and dark, and he muttered for a long time: "I always feel that today's night seems so bleak, the emperor asked me to protect Lord Yang, but I went home." I suddenly had a very bad premonition, could it be that something happened to Lord Yang? ”

Lu Qingying said: "Brother Li, how did Lord Su die, how did Lord Yang also die, now the key to solving the case is in his hands, if those thieves want to snatch the evidence, he will be the target of everyone, Lord Li, let's go, it's too late, I'm afraid it's too late!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Li Xia was really anxious, he whipped the horse hard, and without waiting for the two of them, he ran to the post house first.

When he was about to reach the inn, he saw a dark figure coming over the wall, and he did not speak, but stood up on horseback, and suddenly jumped up, and with a turn in the air, he also jumped up the high wall. He was covered in sweat, cold and wet from the cold wind at the top of the wall, and looked coldly at the shining room, and took a short knife from inside his boot. Suddenly, I heard the sound of horses outside the wall, it was Zuo Tianqi who arrived, so he whispered hello and jumped into the courtyard.

Suddenly, three black shadows rushed out of the darkness. I couldn't see clearly in the darkness, two big men, and one was very small, holding incense in one hand and a knife in the other, standing at the door, as if in a daze.

He swung his knife and slashed at one of them, the man swung the knife, only to hear the sound of "rubbing", the man's knife flew out, and a wisp of blood splashed on Li Xia's face, he knew that the man was injured, but he was extremely strong and did not say a word, took two steps back, and ran towards the little man. Another big man swung his knife at Li Xia, Li Xia avoided it slightly, and hit the man's face with a wave of his other hand, only to hear him snort, and then retreated.

"Who are you, what do you want to do when you break into the adult's inn at night at this time?" Li Xia's roar had already alarmed the house, but as soon as the lights went out, a soft shout came from inside: "Is it Lord Li?" ”

Li Xia said: "Lord Yang, don't be afraid, with me Li Xia here, they can't do anything." ”

Sure enough, the three of them, seeing that there was no hope of assassination, rushed straight up to the house, but unexpectedly a person suddenly appeared on the roof, and both of them were knocked to the ground by him. Only after the little man went into the room, he turned in another direction, and after a few scurries, there was no trace.

At this time, the people in the courtyard had heard the sound, and they took the guys out, Zuo Tianqi jumped down from the room, and said to everyone: "Tie it up, and wait for the adults to fall!" (To be continued......)
