Accompanied by Xue Rui, Yu Shu saw the gambling places in the north of the city for the first time.

On the second floor of a large gambling hall that is running a business, there is a group of alternative gamblers gathered, there is no overwhelming smell of sweat, there is no noisy scolding, here is more like a place for tea parties, clean and orderly, whether it is a dealer, or a guest, all uphold the most basic recuperation, credit is not allowed.

Yu Shu has seen several different gambling situations, the signs in Yiyang City, the mutual guessing of private gambling in the south of the city, and the variety of ways of playing in the north of the city, not only limited to arithmetic, there are bets on Qingyang, there are gambling games to crack the chess cage formation, there are blind guessing gambling games, and even more gambling games with face-to-face faces, of course, the big proprietors behind this gambling house must be a certain family, so as not to be smashed by one or two wealthy and lucky.

Yu Shu is not easy to gamble, just look at the sunny watch that occupies the entire wall, so he bought a code, placed a few bets, and made a fresh picture, and the rest of the onlookers looked at it a few times, and then planned to leave.

Seeing that she was just joining in the fun, this made Xue Rui, who originally thought that she rushed into the gambling house to "show her skills", he didn't forget that he had caught her when he was raiding illegal gambling in Anling City.

It's easy to gamble, and it's not fun.

Leaving the gambling house, Yu Shu and Xue Rui visited a few shops nearby, but they didn't buy anything, Yu Shu was not as interested in the hairpin ring pearl as a Xiangyang green tree placed at the door of the house, and Xue Rui didn't look down on those sub-made objects, and he couldn't give them to Yu Shu.

The murder case in Taishi Shuyuan was not in a hurry, and the regular clothes of the new academy students had not been issued this year, Xue Rui and Yu Shu did not have a hard time with themselves, and the headache was temporarily put on hold, and the two of them slipped away until the sun set, and it was rare to steal half a day.

***

In the evening, when he returned to the Wangji Building, Lin Fu handed over the invitation sent by Liu Tan during the day to Xue Rui and Yu Shu.

The king built a mansion, referring to the marriage family, so happy and happy. suppressed the limelight of King Ning at the Shuangyang Meeting, and it was impossible for Liu Tan to act in a low-key manner, and it was necessary to hold a banquet with great fanfare.

The banquet is scheduled for the second half of this month, and there are more than ten days to prepare. The location is in the Xuanchun Garden, a royal forest garden located in the upper reaches of the Chunlan River, which was the private property given to his younger brother King Xiang after his accession to the throne.

Yu Shu learned from Xue Rui that Liu Tan, who had not yet built the palace, borrowed the garden of the King of Xiang to hold a banquet, and couldn't help but think about it, and told Xue Rui:

"Didn't Lord Xiang ignore what was going on outside the window, and now he was close to the Nine Emperor Princes. King Ning is definitely not happy. ”

Speaking of which, although Liu Hao and Liu Tan are not born to a mother, they are all nephews of the prince of Xiang, and I haven't heard of him favoring any one before, even the prince Liu Jiong treats these princes and brothers equally.

Xue Rui put down the gilded invitation and smiled noncommittally. Without the acquiescence of the one in the palace, how could King Xiang easily wade into this troubled water.

After dinner, Yu Shu planned to go back to his room. Xue Rui stopped her, let her follow him into the small study, put on the lamps and candles, walked to the couch and sat down, the tea case was cleaned up, and there was a thick stack of old and yellowed files, I don't know when he let people move in.

Yu Shuhu looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what he was trying to do.

Xue Rui casually flipped through a book, pointed to the desk not far away and motioned for her to sit down, and said, "I said." You calculate, these are all old cases that were verified in various places ten years ago, involving human lives, let's look at your divination skills, how accurate is it. ”

When Yu Shu heard this, he saw Xue Rui's enthusiastic appearance. After hesitating for a moment, she still sat down and picked up the pen, and did not directly tell Xue Rui that her law of calamity was almost accurate when the data was complete.

Of course, this is not absolute.

Just half an hour later, Xue Rui talked about the fifth murder, and Yu Shu encountered a thorny problem behind her back - she solved an "unknown".

The "unknown" she refers to is a numerical value that does not exist in her Codex of Disaster Records, and there is no precedent, which makes it impossible for her to judge the cause of the death of the deceased.

"Tsk."

"What's wrong?"

"I can't figure it out."

"Oh?" Xue Rui saw that she was embarrassed, but he was interested, "Why can't you count it?" ”

Yu Shu didn't know how to explain to him the referential nature of the law of calamity, turned his head to look at him, Yu Guang looked at the few unopened case records in his hand, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, his eyes lit up with a "whoosh", and he exclaimed:

"Big brother!"

Xue Rui saw that Yu Shu suddenly became excited, and answered her for some reason.

"Big brother, you took these files out of Dali Temple, right?" Yu Shu couldn't hold back his excitement because of a certain formed thought, threw down his pen and walked to sit down opposite Xue Rui, and touched the slightly damp scrolls.

"Hmm." Didn't he knowingly ask, he didn't take it out, or they flew here from the case library on their own.

Yu Shu casually unwrapped a volume and flipped through the records on it quickly: neatly arranged vertically, each case clearly wrote the main information including the location of the crime, the progress of the case, the people involved, and important confessions.

Great!

Yu Shu couldn't help but shout in her heart, in order to make up for the law of calamity, she wanted to break her scalp but suffered from restrictions, and it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, now she has a lot of examples for her to study, why should she worry about progress!

Yu Shu's throat and eyes were a little dry, he raised his head and looked at Xue Rui with a blank look:

"Can you lend it to me for a few days?"

Xue Rui was rarely looked at by her so watery, and when he heard her request, he didn't rush to agree, but looked at her eyes, and seeing her unconcealed desire, he quickly calculated it in his heart, and showed a little embarrassment on his face, and hesitated:

"These case files are recorded in Dali Temple, and they are collected by the main book, and I am borrowing my authority to bring them out, and according to the rules, I will return them tomorrow."

At the end of the sentence, he asked her in passing: "What do you think these do?" ”

Yu Shu was anxious for a while, and all he was thinking about was how to make up for the law of calamity, but he didn't think about playing tricks with Xue Rui, and told him honestly:

"I have a lot of shortcomings in this thaumaturgy, just like the case you said just now, I can't count it if I haven't seen it, so I want to try to make up for these real cases, big brother, can't you think of ideas and lend me to watch for a few days?"

Xue Rui only then understood why Yu Shu was excited, and after understanding, he couldn't help but be surprised by her way of studying, others were taught by teachers, and they were passed down from her family, so she was thinking about it herself?

Yu Shu mistook Xue Rui's expression for being difficult, and his excitement quickly calmed down half, thinking about how to persuade him to "abuse his power", hesitated for a moment, and then made up his mind to speak:

"To tell you the truth, my thaumaturgy, not only can only calculate the dead, but also can calculate a disaster, more accurate than the strange door, more wonderful than the astrology, if you want to make up for it, you can calculate the time of the disaster, the cause of the disaster, and the root of the disaster. Give me time, if my brother encounters a difficult case in the future, no matter how tricky it is, I can help you solve it! ”

Rao is Xue Rui was full of determination, and he was also a little enthusiastic by her words, and he almost got into a trap, and he agreed, he stabilized his mind, looked at her radiant little appearance, itched in his heart, and asked with a smile:

"How long will it take you to complete this thaumaturgy?"

"This" Yu Shu silently summed up the huge project, and said with a dry smile: "If it goes well, it will take about three or five months." ”

Xue Rui raised his eyebrows: "What if it didn't go well?" ”

"A year and a half." It may not be complete.

Seeing her drooping face, Xue Rui shook his head and smiled, it was rare to catch her shortcomings, reluctant to let go, stretched out his hand and pressed the confidential file on the table, and said seriously:

"It's not that I can't lend it to you, but you promise me this empty benefit, but you have to exchange it, and you can't let me risk misappropriating the official document in vain."

Yu Shu opened his mouth and looked at Xue Rui, who was asking her for benefits without blushing or panting, he was a little unaccustomed to it, and felt strange, so he squinted his eyes and said:

"Why did the eldest brother suddenly take advantage of me?"

Don't blame her for thinking too much, she didn't ask him for help before, he was in a hurry to be a good person in front of her, but now that he has pierced the layer of window paper, he is stingy with her.

"Huh."

Xue Rui smiled silently, and said in her heart that she knew his thoughts, even if she didn't guard against him, she was not as easy to get close to as before, and she would be blinded by a shoulder these days, let alone go further. If it goes on like this, he wants to capture the beautiful woman in the long run, and if he doesn't use some means, I'm afraid that when she is willing, his beard will be white.

Yu Shu pondered that he couldn't understand it, and was furious by his smiling face, moved his seat back slightly, and asked stupidly:

"Then you say, what benefits do you want?"

To make him bring it up like this must be something she doesn't want to agree to.

Xue Rui's clean and slender fingers flicked a few times on the paper, staring at Yu Shu who looked defensive, slowly stood up, walked in front of her in two steps, supported the coffee table with one hand, bent down, and saw his reflection in her round eyes.

"What are you doing?" Yu Shu felt that the situation was not good, leaned back, and tried her best to distance herself from him, but the place was so big, and she was half trapped by him, where could she hide.

She watched Xue Rui get closer and closer, and the pair of black eyes staring at her were extremely deep under the candlelight, as if she was going to take her in, the hairs on her neck stood up one by one, and she was secretly preparing to kick him at any time, just listen to his mellow voice:

"You close your eyes."

Yu Shuban raised his face and didn't do it.

Xue Rui chuckled, "Don't worry, I don't want to kiss you." ”

Yu Shu pouted, then what is he doing, counting how many eyelashes she has?

"You close your eyes, I will find you as many files as you want, and read them as long as you want."

Yu Shu couldn't help but be moved, tilted his neck to look at the decent face in front of him, weighed the pros and cons, and decided to believe him, and squeezed his eyes not very happily.

However, the next moment, she knew how to write the word "regret", just because there was an extra smell on her lips that did not belong to her, a faint fragrance of tea, with a touch of warmth, and it was full of her snort for a moment.
