Chapter 273: Crow's Beak
Li Qi didn't know what he meant, so he could only reply: "I am willing to serve the county princess." ”
Xiao Guo then shouted out: "Did you hear it?" Don't thank Li Fu for shooting a hand to help? Let's get the boxes on board! ”
In the end, the Shence Army did nothing, and watched as Li Qi's men carried the boxes, armor and other items to the ship. And Xiao Guo sat in the carriage until the boat was set off, and then got off the car slowly, walked to Li Qi's side and patted him on the shoulder: "There is a Lao Li servant shooting, thank you." ”
At the same time, Li Wangzhen had left the Zhenhai jurisdiction under the escort of Ziqing people and arrived in Yangzhou. Thinking that Li Shidao really loved this daughter, he sent more than 300 people to pick her up, and she lived in Zhenhai for half a year, and her clothes and jewelry were also packed with dozens of cages, and the group came to Hangou Wharf.
After the carriage stopped, Li Wangzhen walked out with the support of the maid, walked straight to the back carriage, and said softly: "Lord Wang, Xiling lady, the dock has arrived." ”
A knobly knuckled hand lifted the curtain, revealing Li Chengxuan's handsome and incomparable face: "Thank you Lady Li for your help." ”
Li Wangzhen smiled slightly: "The prince is polite." ”
Li Chengxuan immediately stepped out of the carriage, this time he learned smartly, he didn't raise his hand to help Xiling Yue, and watched the latter jump off the car lightly. Xi Lingyue still didn't notice anything wrong, lowered her eyebrows and straightened the folds of her flat dress, and then smiled: "Li Niangzi, you really helped me a lot this time!" ”
Li Wangzhen turned his eyes to look at the Taotao ditch: "It's just a ride for you, a gesture." ”
"Well, you know that's not what I'm talking about." Xiling Yue winked at Li Wangzhen, "You're that mysterious person, aren't you?" It's you who keep leaving clues. ”
Li Wangzhen was silent for a moment, and knew that it was not interesting to deny it, so he asked, "How did you find out?" ”
"To tell you the truth, at first I thought that the two white silks were left by the murderer, but then I found that these two white silks were of excellent texture, but the corners were rough, and someone should have tore the lining of the clothes and wrote them in a hurry. And if the murderer planned to kill someone, how could he be in such a hurry, he must have prepared the white silk a long time ago, and he would not be willing to use such a good fabric. ”
When Xiling Yue said this, she raised her eyebrows proudly: "Also, after the disappearance of the prince, there were only a few people who went to the Treasure Pavilion to check the golden screen, and you were one of them." Later, I saw that you had a scar on your finger, didn't you quietly go and inscribe on the screen and hurt your hand? She laughed as she spoke, "You also wrote a letter to Brother Yi, and hinted that I Lingzun had little contact with Li Fuji, if I didn't understand, wouldn't I be a fool." ”
When Li Wangzhen heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle: "You are indeed very smart. ”
Xiling Yue was complimented, or from a rival in love, and she was a little happy in her heart, and winked at her again: "Actually, you have two flaws that are too obvious, so I have to suspect that it is you." ”
"Oh? What are the two flaws? ”
"One is the sentence on the screen. If ordinary people want to leave a hint, they will definitely start with the name of the murderer, for example, the first time you leave a word, it is an allusion to Qi Changtian's name, which is a normal person's practice. Only people close to them will think of birthdays, small characters, these words, if you are not familiar with Mrs. Gao, who will remember that she was born in September of the third year of Tianbao? The milk name is called 'Jiu'er', and the small character is called 'Xuqiu'? ”
Li Wangzhen recalled it at this moment and found that he was really as Xi Lingyue said, hinting at the names of unfamiliar people, and thinking more about familiar people. She nodded her head to be taught, and then asked, "And what is the second point?" ”
"The second point is that the two white silks you left behind are both high-grade tributes from Caozhou, and Caozhou is in Ziqing Town." Xiling Yue smiled smartly, "Dare to wear tribute on your body, in addition to the royal family, I'm afraid there is only the family of the envoy of the Ziqing Festival." ”
Li Wangzhen smiled dumbly: "I forgot, you are more sensitive to clothing than others." If there was a next time, I wouldn't be so careless. ”
"There's another time!" Xiling Yue showed a resistant expression, "Forget it, this time it's enough for me." ”
Li Wangzhen chuckled again, and the atmosphere was relaxed for a while. Li Chengxuan looked back at the huge team and said, "Let them load the ship, let's go to the teahouse and sit down." ”
Li Wangzhen also had this intention, so he ordered his subordinates to put down the thirty boxes of birth gangs, and the rest of her cages were all loaded onto the ship, planning to return to Ziqing by water.
The three of them then walked to the teahouse on the wharf, and Li Wangzhen asked as he walked: "Does the prince really want to go back to Chang'an by land?" What if there are bad guys robbing money along the way? ”
Li Chengxuan had already thought about this problem: "Don't worry, all the towns, prefectures and counties along the way will send troops to respond, and this is the birth of the queen mother, once hijacked, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, it is a big crime to rob the family and exterminate the family, and the average thief does not have the courage to do so." ”
Xiling Yue also nodded and agreed: "Yes, yes, it is safer to take the land route, if you take the water route, if you encounter any wind and waves and capsize the boat, you will lose all your money!" ”
"Crow's beak." Li Chengxuan raised his hand and flicked it on her forehead, laughing helplessly.
Li Wangzhen saw that the two behaved so intimately, and the taste in her heart was also complicated, but she finally knew how to be knowledgeable, so she didn't ask any more questions, walked into the teahouse with them, and asked for a window position on the second floor to facilitate the loading of her subordinates.
After the three of them sat down, Xiling Yue looked out the window with her hands on her cheeks, and sighed: "Alas, I finally left Zhenhai, I don't want to come again in my life!" ”
The other two couldn't help but laugh. Li Chengxuan said with a smile: "That's really a pity, this king still wants to eat autumn crabs in Zhenhai next year, it seems that you won't come." ”
Xiling Yue was stunned: "When I didn't say it." ”
Li Chengxuan laughed again.
Xilingyue sighed again: "Alas, it's a pity that I didn't catch the shopkeeper Liu of Rongbao Pingzhai." ”
Li Wangzhen was puzzled when he heard this: "Isn't he dead?" I heard that death is extremely terrifying. ”
Xilingyue waved her hand: "It wasn't him who died. ”
"Oh?" Li Wangzhen still doesn't know this inside story.
"Since Shopkeeper Liu dares to carve this kind of screen, he must be ready to run away. Do you think, the murderer killed Jiang Yunyi and Li Heng with a single knife, why did he have to work so hard to kill him with just one shopkeeper? It's a dismemberment of the body and cutting off the facial features...... "Xiling Yue raised her eyebrows, "The murderer just wants people to not be able to see his appearance clearly, so that the case can be closed hastily." ”
"I see." Li Wangzhen understood, "The corpse is not him, who is it?" ”
"It's a servant of the Jiang Mansion." Xi Lingyue recalled, "On the day of the fire in the Jiang Mansion, Cao Justice had counted the corpses, and there should have been one hundred and fifteen people on the household registration of the Jiang Mansion, but the dead and alive were counted together that day, only one hundred and fourteen people, and one person disappeared for no reason. I guess that person should be the same body and age as Shopkeeper Liu, so he will be targeted by Mrs. Gao and use him as a substitute for the dead. ”
