Chapter 260: Throwing Stones and Asking for Directions

After leaving the court, Fu Lingyun and Li Shaoqing walked all the way, both of them with sad faces. Following the crowd of people from the next dynasty and slowly walking outside the palace, Li Shaoqing finally couldn't help but ask:

"Wen Yuan, where did you say this Kunyin key came from?"

Fu Lingyun was also full of sorrow, but like Li Shaoqing, he couldn't find an answer: "Well, this is still secondary, the main thing is how the key is on Bai Xue?" ”

Speaking of which, the two of them thought of one person at the same time: Bai Songyuan!

A little girl in Snow Bai definitely wouldn't have anything valuable to keep with such a complicated lock, let alone someone who handed it over to her for safekeeping. Then there is only one possibility, that is, Bai Songyuan hid something valuable, and the key was taken out by Bai Xue herself, but she didn't expect that she was killed, the key was taken away by the murderer Nian Luoyao, and left at the scene of Nian Luoyao's attempted murder.

So, here's the problem. What kind of valuables need to be kept with such complex locks?

Back in Dali Temple, Li Shaoqing showed Fu Lingyun tea, sat down and took out the iron bar, held it in his hand and thought about it.

After being silent for a long time, he spoke: "Why don't I take someone today and personally send Bai Xue's corpse to the ambassador's station, and by the way, secretly visit the station?" ”

Fu Lingyun nodded: "For now, we can only do this first." ”

So, after the afternoon, Li Shaoqing ordered someone to carry Bai Xue's corpse, and took Bai Songyuan's ambassador post with a group of hunters.

"Lord Bai, please mourn and change."

Li Shaoqing waved his hand and ordered Bai Xue's body to be carefully placed in an empty room at the post station.

Bai Songyuan's sadness is sincere, after all, he is a child he raised since he was a child, and after so many years, he still has some feelings.

"The tired adult personally escorted the little girl's corpse back, the adult has worked hard, why don't you please come in and have a cup of tea before leaving!"

What Bai Songyuan said was polite.

When ordinary people hear such words, if they don't have a deep friendship, they will basically refuse politely, and find an excuse to refuse because they are busy with work and inconvenient.

But today Li Shaoqing came with a purpose, so naturally he would not be polite to him, and following his words, he took it: "That's good, I'll bother the adults." ”

Bai Songyuan was stunned, it was difficult to ride a tiger, so he had to invite him into the flower hall, take a fancy to the good tea, and sit down to accompany him.

After Li Shaoqing sat down, he began to talk to him: "Lord Bai's flower hall is very elegant...... " While looking around, he glanced at the catcher at the door.

Seeing that the catcher at the door was secretly disappearing, he returned his eyes to Bai Songyuan's face.

Bai Songyuan couldn't take what kind of medicine he sold in his gourd for a while, and he didn't know how to answer him safely, so he had to laugh with him, thinking about his daughter's death, and it was inappropriate to laugh at this time, and for a while this face couldn't cry or laugh, which was very wonderful.

Li Shaoqing took a sip of tea: "This official came today, in fact, he mainly felt that it was necessary for Lord Bai to talk about Ling Ai's murder and the murderer. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Bai Songyuan's embarrassment and suspicion were relieved, and he wiped the corners of his eyes, Bai Songyuan gritted his teeth: "Who is the murderer?" Why did you kill the little girl so cruelly? ”

Li Shaoqing slowly spoke, thinking about how to make this matter more tortuous so as to delay more time. "Lord Shira, here's how it ......"

After a few teas, just when Li Shaoqing himself was talking dry, he suddenly saw a figure flickering in the corner of his eyes. The trap sent out is coming back soon.

She hurriedly put down the teacup: "That's the way it is, now that the murderer has been caught, this official will definitely deal with it impartially and give Miss Bai justice." Without waiting for Bai Songyuan in the clouds to react, he got up and arched his hand: "The official affairs of Dali Temple are piled up, and the official is really not suitable to stay for a long time. ”

Bai Songyuan heard him say a bunch of nonsense, and he was impatient for a long time, and when he saw that he was leaving, he naturally didn't do anything to keep him.

Out of the ambassador's station, Li Shaoqing hurriedly called the few catchers and asked, "How is it?" What did you find? ”

Several catchers shook their heads, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed. "Let's go, let's go back. ”

Returning in vain, in vain, Li Shaoqing couldn't help but be a little frustrated.

After he left, Bai Songyuan was wondering why Li Zhonghuai personally sent Bai Xue's body back today.

"Your Excellency!" The housekeeper hurriedly came: "My lord, the person sent to inquire about the news has returned." ”

"What did you find?"

"The detective has found ......" the housekeeper stopped talking, "That thing is on Li Zhonghuai, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and he carries it with him!" ”

Bai Songyuan was furious: "Why didn't you say it earlier!" Hurriedly lifted the hem of his clothes and chased out the door.

Li Shaoqing was sitting in the sedan chair back to Dali Temple and was worried, when he suddenly heard someone outside the sedan chair shouting: "Lord Li stays, Lord Li, please stay!" ”

"Stop the car!"

lifted the sedan curtain, poked his head out and looked back, but saw Bai Songyuan waving his hand and running panting: "Huhu~ Master Li, please stay." Whew~"

"Oh, Lord Bai? What else? Li Shaoqing asked.

"Huhu~ Master Li, I suddenly remembered something and forgot to ask my lord." Bai Songyuan gasped and said.

Li Shaoqing narrowed his eyes: "My lord, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"Master Li, did you pick up a seal at the scene of the little girl's murder?"

"Seals? I have never heard of this. What kind of stamp? Adults may wish to be specific, and the official will order someone to go to the evidence room to find out. ”

Replaced with a kind face, Li Shaoqing smiled like a fox.

Bai Songyuan looked at his smiling face, suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Forget it, it's just a seal that you usually play with, and it's not worth a few dollars, it's gone...... It's gone. Don't dare to have a lot of labor. ”

"That ......"

"Then, Master Li, please forgive me for being entangled in white things in the next house, and I will not be far away." Bai Songyuan hurriedly gave up his hand and interrupted Li Shaoqing's questioning.

Li Shaoqing was not annoyed: "Okay, the official won't bother anymore, and he will leave." Get up! ”

Bai Songyuan saw him walking away, and also turned around and returned to the post station. summoned the housekeeper and ordered: "Go, send a few people, tonight no matter what, we must snatch things back from Li Zhonghuai, so as not to have too many dreams at night!" ”

"Yes......"

"My lord, do you want to go back to Dali Temple now?" The sedan chair man asked Li Shaoqing.

"No, go to the Major General's Mansion, quick!" Li Shaoqing's excited voice came from the sedan chair.

After entering the Major General's Mansion, he didn't have time to wait for the next person to report, Li Shaoqing shouted Fu Lingyun's name all the way, and hurried all the way to the door of Yushengyuan's study: "Wenyuan, Wenyuan!" ”

Fu Lingyun, who was painting with Chu Qingruo in the study, saw him so excited, hurriedly put down his paintbrush, and both walked over: "Shu Qiao, but you have eyebrows?" ”

After Li Shaoqing saluted Chu Qingruo, he excitedly said what had just happened.

After listening to him, Fu Lingyun and Chu Qingruo were also overjoyed, it seemed that that thing must be Bai Songyuan's.

But why did he lie that it was just a worthless seal?

There must be something else in it!

Coming out of the Major General's Mansion, Li Shaoqing sat on his sedan chair humming a little song, and the sedan chair man smiled and quipped when he saw this: "My lord, but what good things are you listening to in the General's Mansion, so happy?" ”

"Well, the murderer in Bai Xue's case was arrested, long live let the official hand over the murderer to General Gu Shao to deal with, and the official can sleep well now."

The sedan chair man smiled: "That's, that's, the adults haven't closed their eyes well in the past few days, and now it's finally the last sleep." ”

Li Shaoqing's yawn came from the sedan chair: "Ah~~ That's, hurry, hurry back home, the official is tired." ”

"Yes, sir." The sedan chair driver glanced at the sedan chair behind him and stepped up.

Back in Dali Temple, it was not dark yet, Li Shaoqing didn't even have time to take off his clothes, he lay down on the bed in his official uniform, and snored loudly after a while.

In the middle of the night, several black shadows sneakily appeared on the roof of Li Shaoqing's bedroom. One of them lightly lifted a tile from the roof and looked down into the room.

Seeing Li Shaoqing lying on his bed, he had been asleep for a long time, so he raised his head, looked left and right, and gestured.

The two of them nodded, pulled up their masks, tiptoed to the eaves, lifted their breath, and jumped down.

Gently opening the door of Li Shaoqing's bedroom, the three of them came to his bed in the dark, and the man in black in the lead stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Shaoqing's sleeping hole.

Looking at Li Shaoqing, who was sleeping deeper and deeper on the bed with satisfaction, the leader waved his hand to the two people behind him and lowered his voice: "Sou, the master commanded, no matter what should be done today, find things!" ”

The other two nodded silently and split up in Li Shaoqing's room, rummaging through the cabinets. The leader took a step forward and searched Li Shaoqing's body.

After a while, the two men came over and replied: "Boss, I haven't found it here!" ”

"I don't have any here!"

The leader didn't touch Li Shaoqing, and couldn't help cursing hatefully: "Fuck, didn't the master say that this thing is in Li Shaoqing's hands?" Find me again, be careful. ”

The two of them were helpless, and turned around to look for them again.

But listening to "Li Shaoqing" on the bed, he suddenly spoke: "What you are looking for, but this?" ”

In Li Shaoqing's room, the lights suddenly turned on.

I saw that "Li Shaoqing", who had been pointed, sat up calmly from the bed, holding a long black iron bar in his hand, and asked calmly.

The three of them were taken aback, and raised their knives back to back in defense.

At this time, the door of the room was also opened, and all the fast catchers rushed in, surrounding the three of them with wings and unable to fly.

The real Li Shaoqing, accompanied by Xu Yong, walked from outside the door: "I advise you not to resist senselessly, obediently tie your hands and arrest you, and the official can be lightly punished." ”

Fu Lingyun, who pretended to be "Li Shaoqing" on the bed, also stood up, with a majestic face: "Why is this thing so important, you don't hesitate to risk your life and break into Dali Temple at night to steal this thing?" ”
