Growing up in the barracks, Liqiu hadn't seen anything truly luxurious, and he thought that the most beautiful place in the world should be the Imperial Palace. But today's glimpse still subverted his cognition: the room was as big as a palace, with unicorns carved everywhere, and the gold and jade artifacts were unusually dazzling under the light of candlelight.

The local generals in Gyeonggi always laughed at the generals who came up from small places and said that they didn't know anything, and in the past, Liqiu only felt that those people looked down on people with their nostrils facing the sky, but now it seems that there is really something different. Looking closer, in the depths of the room, sat a young man with a disheveled head.

His fingers are slender and beautiful, holding a paintbrush, and his eyebrows are swirling. The painting is a white-haired man, he is sitting in front of the hall, he is holding a long sword to practice martial arts, he picks up chopsticks to eat... The painting is so lifelike that it was as if Xu Yuan himself was standing there and asked him to paint it. Liqiu was also stunned, he didn't expect such a play. Could it be that Lord Xu and this little duke have already been privately taught to each other?

No, no, the young man shook his head, this Lord Xu obviously has a deep affection for the former queen, where is this, at first glance, it is wishful thinking. If you look closely, where is the figure of the young man? Liqiu was a little nervous, could it be that he was caught peeping on the roof?

Hearing the door open, he hurriedly leaned on the tiles, his legs ready to run. "Uncle Liu, if you come one step too late, I'll have to sleep." The young man's voice was languid, with a hint of dissatisfaction. "Master, it's all the fault of the little old man, but today I found good goods for you."

There was a situation, and Liqiu hurriedly lay down next to the lifted tiles, listening to the movement. As the door closed, a few footsteps entered the room, and it was a few children. They looked at the duke timidly. "Go, sit in that chair." The young man asked straight to the point.

"Before I start writing, you can move casually and find a comfortable position, but if anyone moves while I'm drawing, don't blame me for being rude." Several children sat down obediently, and no one moved, but after a while, some children couldn't resist the sleepiness, closed their eyes, and began to nod their heads.

Seeing this, Steward Liu hurriedly went up and punched the boy in the back. The boy suddenly felt pain, and the man threw the pen away. "It's noisy, you tell him to shut up, shut up!" The housekeeper hurriedly shook the child, and the child was in pain and fear, and cried even more fiercely. The man looked at the crying child with a hideous face, and gradually, his face softened, and he looked at the butler and waved his hand.

The butler understood, and took the remaining children out of the room, leaving only the crying child and the man with his hair disheveled. The man tugged at the child, who clung to the leg of the table and pulled out the dagger. "You know, I hate crying children the most, do crying children have milk? Well? ”

The child had forgotten to cry, so he looked at him blankly, as if he was scared stupid. No one could save him, not his parents, because they thought that when they arrived at the Duke's Palace, they would be glorious and rich; The butler couldn't, because he wouldn't offend his lord for others; The person lying on the eaves clenched his fists, but he had to think about the overall situation.

There was a child's hissing cry and a man's beastly roar coming from inside the room, and Liqiu didn't want to look at it anymore, so he bit his fist and tried to suppress himself from beating him. It was about to dawn, and it would be dangerous to stay here any longer, so he turned around and flew back to Dali Temple.

"It seems that this Li Gong is quite not human." Tobe Shangshu shook his head: "My lord, according to what the old man can see, this is not a big deal. "It's already such a thing that can't be done by animals, do you think it can't be considered a loss of morality?" "My lord, even if this is immorality, it is done by someone at home, we are not legal to collect evidence, and there is no physical evidence to show that he did it. There are many high-ranking officials and nobles in Gyeonggi who are good at this, and it is really difficult to convict. ”

The white-haired man sighed faintly. "It's because I'm too anxious, but it's good to have your guidance." "The adults are just eager to solve the case, but fortunately, there are no major problems." "And what's next? My lord, that kid's house is magnificent inside, as far as I can say, it doesn't look very good on the surface, but it is much more magnificent than the palace inside. ”

Xu Yuan glared at him: "What's the use of you just talking about style?" Your Majesty is now getting married, and Da Zhou wants money everywhere, he is magnificent, so we can't say that we can go directly to other people's houses to rob it, right? "If you want to say that he is greedy for ink, is it okay?" "This force is intertwined, even if you can really determine that he is greedy for ink, those lords will find a way to find a loophole for him."

"What about going straight to the book? Brother Xu, ah no, my lord, look, we jointly signed a letter asking His Majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly, how about it? Let's just say that Li Jiaxuan reported that he was greedy for ink, colluded with officials and businessmen, and used equipment in violation of regulations. "I think I can, but I still have to face him, I need to know what kind of person he is." Xu Yuan slowly put down the teacup and stood up.

"Master, Lord Xu of Dali Temple asks to see you." "Let him in." Xu Yuan entered the living room, and saw that the antique living room was dignified and atmospheric, not losing everyone's demeanor. The young man sitting on the main seat was thin and handsome, with an elegant temperament, but the dark circles under his eyes were very heavy, and he didn't look like a person who was fighting in the street.

"Li Gong, have we met before?" "Lord Xu said with a smile, I am not in good health, I have been sick in recent years, and I usually don't go out, how can I have the opportunity to see me? It's just that I have a friend here who sent me your style painting from years ago. He unfolded the painting, and it showed a white-haired man in a white suit with a long sword.

"You're joking, I didn't use a sword three years ago, and my head turned white half a year ago, it seems that you are a fake." The young man smiled awkwardly and put away the painting: "Friends joke with each other, and adults laugh when they see it." The two of them sat for a while and felt that it was not interesting, and the little duke spoke first: "I don't know why the adults are coming?" ”

"It's just the first time I came to Gyeonggi, I admired my grandfather's talent, and I came to pay a visit." Steward Liu next to him immediately pouted, but because his master was here, he didn't have a seizure, and all this was seen by Xu Yuan. "It's just that I've written a few second-rate articles, and the adults have praised them falsely, I still have something, if the adults don't have anything, then I can only send them to the adults." Xu Yuan took a closer look on the way out, and did not find the slightest violation of the system, it seems that he still has to start with Steward Liu.
