Chapter 208: The Assassin's Case (1)
Xi Lingyue was already a little afraid of him at the moment, and reluctantly replied: "It's very simple, you said that the assassin turned into green smoke, which made me ...... Ling Yunyi remembered the letter bomb in the army, and guessed that the two should be the same. ”
"How do you know what is in the army?" Li Qi instantly changed his tone and asked in a deep voice.
Xiling Yue was startled, looked up at him, and saw him standing in the shadow of the candle flame, with a somewhat obscure look on his face, like suspicion, more like a murderous intent.
At this time, I heard Li Heng open his mouth to solve the siege: "My father doesn't know, Sanniang admires Di Liang Gong the most in her life, and she has read the codex of the case that he used to serve in Dali Temple, and I have some experience." ”
"Di Liang Gong has long been ancient, how did the lady get his codex?" Li Qi obviously didn't believe it.
"Yes...... When his father was an official, he made friends with the descendants of Di Liang Gong and borrowed it. Xilingyue had to lie.
"Oh?" Li Qi narrowed his eyes, "This official remembers that Jiang Gong was born seven years ago, and when he was an official, he borrowed the codex at least seven years ago, how old were you then?" Can you read it? ”
Seeing that Li Qi was becoming more and more suspicious, Xiling Yue was about to explain again, but Li Heng was already one step ahead of her and smiled: "What is this, Cao Zhi can write poetry at the age of seven, Ganluo is the twelfth phase, Sanniang has been smart since childhood, and it is by no means comparable to ordinary boudoir women." ”
Seeing that Aiko had been speaking for Xilingyue and had made no secret of his admiration, Li Qi couldn't help frowning and being silent for a moment: "The letter bullet in the army was created in the past twenty years, and Di Lianggong has been an ancient man for a hundred years, and it is impossible for the prophet to be written in the codex." Jiang Yunyi is a boudoir woman, how did she know? ”
Li Heng's expression condensed slightly when he heard this, and he seemed to be suspicious. Everyone's eyes were focused on Xiling Yue, with a little guard and doubt.
At this moment, Xilingyue's heart beat like a drum, and she suddenly regretted that she had intervened in this matter, and said busily: "Yunyi heard the second brother mention it, he is now a soldier in Ziqing, and he often talks about the recent situation in his family letters, and Yunyi also saw it inadvertently." ”
Hearing the word "Ziqing", Li Qi's face was slightly pale, after all, he and Ziqing were in the same breath. He secretly sighed in his heart that this woman was too clever, and he didn't know if it was an auspicious star or a curse, but at the moment, this situation must not be difficult for her, but should be rewarded heavily. So he pretended to be relieved and laughed loudly: "I see! You can think of that puff of green smoke because of the letter bomb, which really makes this official admire! A good daughter taught by Jiang Gong, a tiger father and no dog girl! ”
Xi Lingyue hurriedly pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled: "The servant shot up, Yunyi just hit by mistake." ”
Li Qi waved his hand gently: "Mrs. Jiang is too humble, do you know that you have solved a big trouble for your official today." "What's the big trouble?" Xiling Yue couldn't control her curiosity the most.
Li Qi then stroked his beard: "A distinguished guest was assassinated in this official's mansion, if you hadn't caught the assassin, this official really couldn't explain it to your distinguished guest." ”
Lie! The assassin scolded Li Qi just now, and it can be seen that the assassin was also coming at him, but he still pulled at the distinguished guest without changing his face. Xiling Yue secretly said that Li Qi was scheming, but he smiled on his face: "Isn't the distinguished guest unscathed?" You were wounded in order to save him, and I think your guests will be able to understand it. ”
"Hey! Did you hear that, my lord? Someone dares to be your master! Leng Buding's voice came from outside the door, ridiculing Xilingyue.
"The king hears it."
"The king hears it."
A young man replied. Although it is only five words, the voice is clear and thorough, low and blurry, like a ring, a jade sound, and like a night breeze blowing on the face, shrouded by stars and moon, it is very good.
A few people in the house followed the voice, only to see a tall man and his guards appear outside the door. The man's starry eyes are handsome, his eyebrows are like ink cuts, the bridge of his nose is straight, his thin lips are hooked, his facial features are three-dimensional and distinct, and his temperament is handsome, like the moonlight frost of an autumn night.
He stepped into the door like this, the hem of the black brocade robe moved with it, the jade ribbon on his waist struck each other and whispered, and the purple gold high crown pattern between his hair was lifelike, all reflecting an extraordinary extravagance, and his posture was calm.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and they forgot what to do. Only Xilingyue bit her lower lip and understood that she had lost her words.
Li Qi's face changed, and he immediately calmed down, and stepped forward to worship: "Xiaguan see King Fu." ”
Fuwang Li Xuan, whose name is Chengxuan, is the son raised by the former emperor Shunzong himself, the youngest son of the Empress Dowager of the Dynasty, and the only sibling brother of the Holy Emperor today. Now that the saint is in the prime of life, he has not yet been canonized as a prince, and he should be the most respected king in the clan, the head of all princes, and he is truly "under one person, above ten thousand".
Seeing that everyone was standing still, not knowing how to salute, the guard of the blessed king Li Chengxuan then spoke: "Are you all stunned by the voice and smile of my prince? ”
Li Chengxuan glanced at him lightly, and his voice was not angry: "Xiao Guo." ”
The guard, who was called "Xiao Guo", immediately lowered his head and did not dare to say anything more.
Only then did everyone wake up, and they hurriedly knelt down and bowed: "Xiaguan (villain) has seen the prince." ”
Xiling Yue also followed numbly and saluted: "The folk girl pays homage to King Fu." ”
Li Chengxuan walked straight past her, walked to the Luohan couch, lifted his hem and sat down calmly. Wherever he passed, a trace of ambergris fragrance suddenly came and wafted into Xiling Yue's nose. She suddenly looked up at Li Chengxuan, only for a moment, and then immediately lowered her head.
The rest of the people also knelt on the spot and didn't dare to get up, secretly guessing the intention of King Dufu to come to Zhenhai, could it be that there was some will of the Holy One?
For a while, everyone had their own thoughts, and there was silence in the room. Li Chengxuan didn't seem to notice it, and looked at Li Qi with a smile: "I heard that Li Servant summoned the guards last night for questioning, so this king came over to take a look out of curiosity, and because he saw that the discussion in the room was hot, it was not easy to interrupt, so he listened in the compartment for a while. If you are rude, you hope that the servants will not blame the king. ”
A cubicle at the back of the house? It was the place where the maids in the study were on duty, and because of the investigation of the assassination, Li Heng deliberately broke the maids away. I don't know how long King Fu has been here and how much he has heard...... Xiling Yue glanced at Li Qi.
Li Qi's face was obviously extremely bad, and he reluctantly smiled back: "The prince said that he laughed, you experienced this matter last night, and it is reasonable to care." Fortunately, the subordinate officials did not fail in their mission, and the assassin was caught, but the mastermind behind the scenes still needs to be tortured. ”
"It's hard work, and the servant cums." Li Chengxuan said a few words and did not ask for details, he seemed to suddenly find the situation in the house, and his expression was slightly surprised, "Why are you still kneeling?" Could it be that this king has three heads and six arms? ”
"The prince said and laughed, the prince was handsome......" A burst of compliments sounded at the right time, and everyone got up one after another, but they didn't dare to relax their minds. Xiling Yue was also afraid of any more turmoil, so she buried her head very low, and took a few steps back to stand in the shadow of the candle flame.
Li Chengxuan's gaze fell on her, and he smiled coldly: "The lady of the Jiang family is the first hero to hunt down assassins, why do you stand so far back?" ”
Xilingyue wailed in her heart, so she had to come out of the shadows and bow again: "The prince praises falsely, and the people don't dare to take credit." ”
"The lady is humble." Li Chengxuan looked at her with a smile, "You judge the case like a god, this king has heard it clearly, but this king still has a question he wants to ask his wife to answer." ”
Xilingyue instantly lifted her spirit: "Lord Wang, please ask, the folk girl knows everything." ”
