Chapter 241: It's Late
Xiling Yueru was pardoned, and said to Li Chengxuan hypocritically: "It's not early, why don't you stay for dinner?" ”
Li Chengxuan glanced at her and didn't respond.
Xilingyue said "oops" again: "Look I forgot, this matter must be kept secret, and it can't be known to the people who shoot Li Fu...... Then the prince, go slowly! ”
"Pretending." Li Chengxuan commented disdainfully, waved his hand and said, "You remember to take a look at those two screens again, and I will let Xiao Guo stay to help you." ”
"Xiao Guo?" Xi Lingyue looked outside the car, a little resistant, "He...... Forget it. ”
"What, you're questioning my people?"
"How dare the people's daughter!" Xiling Yue wanted to speak and stopped, so she had to salute and agree, "Thank you for giving me your confidant...... Slow down on your way. After that, she couldn't wait to lift the curtain, jumped out of the carriage, and was about to ask Xiao Guo's guards to take care of her, but there was a sudden pain in her back, and it was a piece of gold that flew out of the carriage and hit her back, and rolled to the ground.
Xi Lingyue hurriedly picked it up and asked in the car, "What does this mean, Lord Wang?" ”
"Case-handling expenses."
Early the next morning, Xilingyue contacted Li Qi and wanted to see the two golden screens again. Li Qi quickly arranged a carriage to pick her up, and the carriage quietly drove into the back door of the Jiedu Embassy, and Xilingyue got off the car and took a shoulder to the Baohua Courtyard where Mrs. Gao lived.
Li Qi was waiting for her in the main hall, and Xiling Yue saluted: "I've seen Li Fuji." ”
Li Qixu raised his right hand: "Get up, this official still has important business, and he only has a cup of tea." ”
Xiling Yue didn't dare to delay when she heard this, and hurriedly walked with him to the Treasure Pavilion, and asked with concern as she walked, "Is Mrs. Gao okay?" ”
Li Qi sighed: "I forgot to accompany her to Jinshan Temple to relax." ”
Li Qi has two sons, in addition to Li Heng, there is also a concubine son, who is older than Li Heng. Therefore, although Li Qi is sad, he will not collapse. But Mrs. Gao is different, after all, it is her only biological son who died. Xiling Yue could feel Mrs. Gao's heartbreak, and she was speechless for a while.
"What clues did you find yesterday?" Li Qi opened his mouth to ask.
Xilingyue thought about it, there was no need to hide this matter from Li Qi, and she couldn't hide it, so she told the truth: "I went to Rongbao Pingzhai yesterday and roughly inquired about the casting of the golden screen. Do you know the shopkeeper? ”
"I don't know," Li Qi replied, "This official is busy with government affairs on weekdays, and he has no time to take care of these little things, and the casting of the screen is handled by his wife." ”
Xilingyue was stunned when she heard the footsteps here: "Whose idea is it to use gold to cast a screen?" ”
Li Qi recalled for a moment and said: "The official vaguely remembered that Madame originally wanted to create a pair of golden dragons and phoenixes, but then suddenly changed her mind and said that she was casting two screens. ”
"It seems that someone persuaded Madame to change her mind, and the person who persuaded her is very suspicious." Xiling Yue hurriedly pointed out, "Can you find out who this person is?" ”
Li Qi shook his head: "I'm afraid that only Mrs. knows about this person, she is sad now, how can the official ask her again?" ”
Xilingyue was a little disappointed, but this is also human nature, she pondered for a moment, and had to ask again: "Is Rong Bao Pingzhai also found by Mrs.?" ”
This time, Li Qi knew something inside: "No. Every year the shop sent some new screens, sometimes one or two, sometimes seven or eight, and the lady liked it very much, so she offered to give him some business. ”
I see, there is nothing to doubt about it. Li Qi is the lord of Zhenhai, Rong Bao Pingzhai does business here, naturally "filial piety" is indispensable every year, Mrs. Gao is happy, and it is normal to reward him with some business. Seeing that the Treasure Pavilion was imminent, Xiling Yue had nothing to ask, so she turned around and let Li Qi open the mechanism and enter with him.
With the experience of entering the Treasure Pavilion last time, Xiling Yue would no longer be surprised when she saw those rare treasures, she walked straight to the two golden screens, and looked at them again-
The picture on it has not changed, and it is still as strange as the last time I saw it: in the first fan, Xiao Shi and Lang Yu play together in a room; In the second fan, the sheng in Lang Yu's hand turned into a dagger, stabbing at Xiao Shi's heart......
Xilingyue raised her hand to touch the pattern of this relief, and once again sighed that this skill was ingenious, and there was no trace of modification. In addition to the relief, the style of the screen is also very pleasing, the four corners are carved with bats, deer heads, animal faces, magpies, symbolizing the blessing, Lu, longevity, happiness four auspicious images, the mind can be described as extremely exquisite.
Li Qi saw her frowning sometimes and sometimes admiring, and couldn't help asking: "What, do you see something strange?" ”
"Not yet, I just think this screen is too beautiful, and the murderer uses it to make a fuss, which is really outrageous." Xilingyue sighed with emotion in her mouth, and thought in her heart that the murderer could destroy the heavens so violently, and it was not a luxury to write blood books with high-grade silk silk.
With such an analysis, Pei Xingli is still sending people under the fence, and it seems that he does not have the financial resources to squander. And he is strong in martial arts, and he often stays with Li Heng on weekdays, if he really wants to kill Li Heng, there is no need to go to such great lengths!
Xiling Yue excused Pei Xingli in her heart, and her slender fingers stopped unconsciously, but she suddenly touched a small uneven place on the screen. She swept her eyes, as if there was a slight flaw on this screen, and it was not polished and smooth, but she thought about it, this screen was made by the Jiedu Embassy, and there was no room for the slightest sloppiness.
So she picked up the candlestick and looked closely, only to find that it was not a flaw at all, but four small characters were engraved!
"Hours, dimensions, nine, months." She whispered it aloud.
It's September! Xiling Yuehou realized that he hurriedly ran to check another screen, and sure enough, he found four other small characters in the same position: the preface belongs to Sanqiu.
In September, the order belongs to the three autumns, the water is exhausted and the cold pool is clear, the smoke is condensed and the twilight is purple. This is......
This is still a sentence in the "Preface to King Teng's Pavilion"! Xilingyue felt extremely weird, suddenly shivered, and looked at Li Qi: "This ...... There are words on these two screens! The inscription is 'Shiwei September, the order belongs to the three autumns'. ”
Li Qi's face turned blue suddenly, and he hurriedly ran over to check, and then fell silent again, and sighed for a long time: "September...... Is it the heavens that are going to kill me? ”
Xi Lingyue didn't understand the meaning of his words, but she thought of another point: the last time she came to this secret room, she obviously looked at it carefully
After these two screens, I remember very clearly, there are no words on the screens.
It's only been two days, why are there eight more words, and it's from "Preface to King Teng's Pavilion"? This must be freshly engraved! Xilingyue came to her senses in an instant and shouted: "Quick, go to Rongbao Pingzhai!" ”
It's just a pity that it's too late.
