Before leaving the East Palace, Li Sanlang took Chen Xuanli and flew to the Imperial Medical Department, and when he arrived at the Imperial Medical Office, it was already a quarter of noon, Li Sanlang calculated that he had not eaten for almost two days, but he still had no appetite, and the great responsibility of the gods was pressed on such a young man in his early twenties, and it had to be said that it was difficult for him, but some people were born different from ordinary people, and they must live to achieve great causes, Li Sanlang belongs to this kind of person, and Chen Xuanli and Zhang Jiuling, who have been following him, must be the same.

Li Sanlang hurriedly visited Chen Wuji when he entered the Imperial Doctor's Office, and Chen Wuji was also angry, and he had woken up an hour before Li Sanlang arrived, and was taking medicine for him at this time. Seeing that Li Sanlang was coming, he was eager to get up to greet him, but the wound made him feel so painful that he couldn't move, Li Sanlang saw this and hurriedly said: "Chen Sizhi is exempt from courtesy, and he can recuperate with peace of mind." ”

Chen Wuji leaned back slightly, and asked Li Sanlang about the latest situation weakly, in addition to the conspiracy in the East Palace, Li Sanlang also told Chen Wuji without reservation, for some reason, since the first time he met Chen Wuji, he had an inexplicable feeling of pity, this person may be reused by Li Sanlang in the future, so Li Sanlang has less scruples when he talks to him.

After Li Sanlang finished speaking, Chen Wuji asked in a low voice: "What is Li Sicheng's next step?" Where to start? ”

Li Sanlang replied: "It's not a secret, I want to find Li Ke, but I don't know where he is, I came to ask Chen Si for advice, where will he go?" I'm easy to find. ”

After hearing this, Chen Wuji closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and whispered: "If Li Sicheng looks at the fire, then Li Ke is indeed a chivalrous person, and I don't expect him to shirk anything for the people, but I am afraid that he has a deep misunderstanding of Si Cheng before, and once he finds it, he must explain it clearly!" ”

Li Sanlang nodded and replied, "That's natural, but now I don't know where it's going." ”

Chen Wuji replied: "The small is hidden in the wilderness, and the big is hidden in the court." I don't think Li Ke will leave the Shendu, if he leaves, he will be searched along all the roads, he will have his wife and children, it will not be easy to hide, if I am him, I will hide in this Shendu, and act with the camera! ”

Li Sanlang nodded again and said, "Chen Sizhi is reasonable, but I don't know where it will be. ”

Chen Wuji continued: "This Li Ke doesn't like to make friends with powerful people, but he has made friends in the rivers and lakes, and people from all walks of life also treat him very politely. ”

Seeing Li Sanlang's affirmation, Chen Wuji said again: "Xiaguan has a way to quickly find Li Ke, but it's a bit risky. ”

Li Sanlang hurriedly said: "Now the gods are in danger, no matter how risky you are, you have to do it." ”

Chen Wuji hesitated for a moment and said: "Ghost City, red-haired Yama, he must have clues, but this person has a strange temperament, and there must be something for information exchange!" Last time, it was Xuan Lingzi's tongue and siblings, but I don't know what it will be this time. ”

Li Sanlang got up and paced back and forth a few steps, his face hesitated, and after a long time, he said: "It seems that there is no other way now, and then it will be up to him to see what he wants, if I can do it, I will definitely agree, if I can't do it, it is not too late to find another way." ”

Chen Wuji saw that Li Sanlang had made up his mind, so he told Li Sanlang how to go to the ghost market; After Li Sanlang heard this, he quickly took Chen Xuanli to Luoshui River.

A moment later, Li Sanlang and Chen Xuanli came to the Luoshui River and found the stone platform, so they took out the candles that had been prepared from their arms, and lit them as usual, and after a while, there was really a ghost servant who came to the boat, Li Sanlang talked to the ghost servant according to what Chen Wuji said, and was allowed to get on the boat, and covered with a black cloth, Li Sanlang whispered to Chen Xuanli, don't peek, before leaving, Chen Wuji explained, his two fingers are abolished, Chen Xuanli nodded yes.

After a while, the two of them arrived at the ghost market, and after the two took off the black cloth, they found that the red-haired Yama was already sitting in front of them, just as Chen Wuji had described to them. Seeing that the two of them had arrived, the red-haired Yama let out a strange laugh as usual, and took the lead in saying, "Who should I be? Li Sanlang, Li Gongzi is free to come to my ghost market as a guest? It seems that the imperial court is not as capable as my ghost market? It's really a change in the world, intriguing! The words were full of ridicule, but Li Sanlang knew at this moment that he must not have a verbal dispute, after all, he had a request for others, and this was also the fastest way to find Li Ke, so he said: "Meet the red-haired Yama, and admit that there are indeed some aspects of the imperial court that are inferior to the ghost market, and I hope to help you this time." ”

When the red-haired Yama heard this, he continued to laugh and said, "Young man, listen to what you say! It's refreshing! Say, what's the matter? Since you are here, I believe you also know my rules, you first say what you ask, and then I will make an offer. ”

Li Sanlang saw that the red-haired Yama was also a cheerful person, so he said: "This time I came to inquire about the news of one person - Li Ke!" I hope to tell you. ”

The red-haired Yama laughed again, this time chillingly. Generally speaking, laughter is to express a happy mood or to hide embarrassment, but the red-haired Yama's strange smile is really uncomfortable. After laughing enough, the red-haired Yan Luo said: "Don't hide it from the two of you, since Li Ke left the Liang Palace, I have always wondered what made him so resentful, and after several inquiries, I finally knew the reason!" Here I want to say, Li Gongzi, your practice of taking Li Ke as a crime is really not moral enough! ”

Hearing the red-haired Yama say this, Li Sanlang was stunned, it has only been half a day since this happened, he has actually inquired about the situation clearly, the source of this ghost market is really not false, it seems that he has nothing to hide, so he said: "Red-haired Yama, I don't really hide it, I went to the Liang Wangfu that day, I didn't plan to arrest Li Ke, I just hope to let people go after they arrive, and let them go secretly, Li Daxia is chivalrous and righteous for people, and I, Li Sanlang, will not do such a despicable thing no matter what." ”

"Really?" The red-haired Yama asked meaningfully, but Li Sanlang did not answer, and the red-haired Yama continued: "Then what if Li Ke kills you Long'an Division? ”

Li Ke knew that the red-haired Yama was referring to the attack on Long Ansi last night, and he took it seriously, so he said categorically: "I believe in Li Daxia's character, and this matter is definitely not his doing!" ”

"Oh? How so? Red-haired Yama asked.

Li Sanlang replied: "With Li Daxia's person, he must be wronged and the debtor has the owner, if he is angry in his heart, he will only kill me Li, and he will never affect the innocent!" ”

The red-haired Yama laughed again when he heard this, and said, "How come what you said is exactly the same as what Li Ke told me?" What a tacit understanding! ”

Li Sanlang was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "The red-haired Yama has seen Li Daxia?" ”

The red-haired Yama said, "Of course I did! As he was talking, a person walked in from behind Li Sanlang, and Li Sanlang looked back and saw that it was Li Ke. Li Sanlang was overjoyed in his heart, and grabbed Li Ke and said, "Captain Li, so you are here?" ”

Li Ke sneered and said, "So what? How do I know that what you just said is not one-sided, and how can I believe you? ”

Seeing this, Chen Xuanli on the side hurriedly said: "Li Daxia, how can you not believe our son's character?" ”

Li Ke sneered again and said, "Letter? If I believe you, I'm afraid my family will be in prison right now! I really listened to the conversation between you and King Liang last night! ”

Li Sanlang was shocked, it turned out that Li Ke fled so quickly, because he was eavesdropping outside, so he said: "Li Daxia, I know that it is useless to say anything now, but for the sake of the people of Shendu, I can still help!" Here, I swear to the sky, if there is even the slightest unfavorable thought to Li Daxia, I wish the five thunders to die with a bang! With that, he stretched out three fingers and swore on his knees.

Seeing this, Li Ke grabbed him and said, "No need, I will believe in you again, for the sake of the people of the gods, I will help you again!" If there is any more behavior that is not good for my family, you will die under the sword of my Li Ke! ”

Li Sanlang was overjoyed when he saw that Li Ke agreed to help, arched his hands, and said, "Oh! ”

At this moment, there was another strange laugh of the red-haired Yama, who clapped his hands and said, "What a touching! Li Gongzi, did you forget me? I've helped you find Li Ke now, and my remuneration hasn't been discussed yet! ”

Chen Xuanli said: "This is also what you helped find?" ”

The red-haired Yama dodged in front of Chen Xuanli and slapped Chen Xuanli in the face, all this happened so fast that Chen Xuanli didn't even react, the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and he fell to the ground, and the red-haired Yama said viciously: "Ignorant child! It's not me, I'm afraid you're already on the table, why do you think Li Ke is here? He's here waiting to kill you! ”

Li Sanlang and Chen Xuanli were shocked and looked at Li Ke together. Li Ke said slowly: "Not bad! I know that in order to find me, Chen Wuji will definitely suggest that you come to the ghost market, and I am here one step earlier to wait to kill the two of you to relieve yesterday's hatred! ”

Li Sanlang couldn't help but be afraid when he heard this, he was almost a ghost under the sword now, so Chen Wuji didn't expect that he was not intentionally harming, but this Li Ke was really smart, and he could actually predict that the two of us would definitely come here, but fortunately, he understood the righteousness and distinguished right from wrong, so he arched his hands and said: "Xie Chifa Yama turned around, and Xie Li Daxia understood the righteousness and gave him the opportunity to prove it again in the next one." ”

The red-haired Yama smiled and said, "Or do you know the general situation, now I can make my conditions, right?" ”

Li Sanlang arched his hands and said: "But it doesn't matter, as long as you don't violate the chivalry of the rivers and lakes, don't rebel against the imperial court, as long as you can do it, you must do your best!" These two conditions are not only for the red-haired Yama, but also for Li Ke, Li Sanlang knows that Li Ke is chivalrous, and saying this at this moment will definitely shorten the distance between him and Li Ke.

After hearing this, the red-haired Yama waved to the ghost servant, and the ghost servant hugged a little boy who was more than a year old, and the red-haired Yama carefully took it, and held it in his arms with joy and love, so he said, "This is my son!" It's called Kang Shan Mountain. This ghost city may not last forever, and I don't want my son to live in this dark underground world forever. I see that you have the appearance of an emperor, and when my son grows up, I will let him go to you, you just need to give him a good future. This is my condition, not to violate the chivalry of the rivers and lakes, not to rebel against the court, right? ”

Li Sanlang looked at the little boy in his arms, with a tiger's head, but cute, he never expected that he was actually looking for a future for this kid, this matter is still far from now, he has no reason to refuse, so he nodded and responded: "As long as I, Li Sanlang, have success in the future, I will definitely make this son rich and rich!" ”

The red-haired Yama was overjoyed and said, "You have agreed?" ”

Li Saburo nodded yes. The red-haired Yama thought for a while and said, "There is no basis for your words, you still have to have a token!" In this way, I see that you are also in your twenties, so you will consider this child a godson, right? Let's give him a name for your Han Chinese! When he grows up, I will let him bring the token to you! ”

Li Sanlang was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "I am not married yet, is it inappropriate to recognize my son?" ”

The red-haired Yama looked angry and said, "Isn't it right? You look down on us! We Hu people are willing to recognize people as our father, that is, we can afford him and respect him, and my red-haired Yama is also a figure with a head and a face in the rivers and lakes, so it is not a shame for you, right? ”

Li Sanlang hurriedly replied: "It's not that I don't want to, but... Okay, I'll just admit it! Then he took a jade pendant from his waist, handed it to the red-haired Yama, and told him to bring it with him when the boy grew up.

The red-haired Yama looked at the jade pendant and said, "There is still a Han name missing. ”

Li Sanlang looked at the kid, thought about it again and said: "This son hopes that when he grows up, he will protect his family and defend the country, stabilize the world, make the world rich, and become a reliance like a mountain, so he will be named An Lushan!" ”

"An Lushan?" The red-haired Yama repeated it in a whisper, then laughed loudly, "Good name! It's called An Lushan, you guys go and investigate the case! I have a word first, recognize the son and recognize the son! Investigation is a case, I will give the clues that should be given, but I have to trade, the clues that should not be given, don't ask, this is the rule! ”

When Li Sanlang heard this, he also knew that there was no need to ask anything, so he hugged the kid and left the ghost market with Li Ke and Chen Xuanli!

On the boat back, Li Sanlang asked Li Ke: "I heard that Li Duwei escaped to Shendu after killing people, can you tell me what happened?" ”

Li Sanlang's question is a bit abrupt, but since you have to trust each other, you should open your heart and dispel your concerns. Li Ke was silent for a while, and said: "The local county order, the expropriation is tyrannical, and the fish and meat villagers, I really can't see it and kill them." His superiors planned to put me in prison for protection, but they couldn't catch me for a while, so they secretly sent someone to Broken Leaf City to arrest my child to threaten, and the child's mother was willing to go to prison in order to protect the child. ”

Li Sanlang thought for a while and said: "According to the "Tang Law", there is no such thing as merit and demerit, since you kill someone, you must pay for your life." He paused and continued: "But there is a reason for this matter, and when I make meritorious contributions to this investigation, I will definitely play the emperor, pardon your capital crime, and deal with it lightly." ”

Li Ke was silent after hearing this, and said after a long time: "It seems that this is the only way." ”

After a long time, the boat finally arrived at the Luoshui River, after the three of them got off the boat, Chen Xuanli looked at the sky, it was almost unitary, the sun was about to set on the third day, and where would the murderer be?
