As soon as the door opened, a foul smell came to his nose, Li Zheng was so smoked that he hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, this smell was not the smell of rotting corpses, but the smell of dirty smell, Li Zheng complained and scolded: "This Wang San, how do you live on weekdays, this kind of smell can be checked." Li Ke naturally smelled the stench, but he didn't care, the investigation was important, he cautiously walked into the hut, afraid that there would be an ambush in the house.

But the room is very small, Li Ke can sweep it all at a glance, there is a table, a chair, but they are all very shabby, there are wine and food on the table, Li Ke approached and looked, the wine and food seemed to be halfway through the meal, and the ground next to it was also a little scattered, and the lamp on the table had burned out. At this time, Li was about to enter the house, and Li Ke hurriedly said: "Wait! Being drunk like this by Li Ke, Li Zheng's foot that had just stepped into the house and had not yet landed quickly retracted it, he was a little embarrassed, pestle at the door, and didn't know what to do for a while. Li Ke leaned down to check the traces on the ground, there were traces of heavy objects on the ground, there were originally some footprints, but they were all covered up by this drag marks. Li Ke raised his head and looked around, this house can be described as a house with four walls, so messy that some recovered discarded items are thrown away, and nothing else.

Li Ke's eyes searched around, hoping not to miss any clues, and finally, his gaze stayed on the ground in the corner, Li Ke hurriedly approached, leaned down to investigate, and then turned to Li Zheng at the door and said, "Quickly find a tool, I want to dig the ground." ”

Standing at the door, I don't know how to be a good Lizheng, listening to Li Ke's instructions, just turned around to look for tools, and after a while he came back with a hoe, stood at the door and didn't dare to enter, and asked in a low voice: "Do I come in, or do adults come to get it?" ”

Li Ke glanced at Li Zheng, a little helpless, he got up and took the hoe and dug it up in the place just now, did not dig a few times, there was a "bang" sound from the ground, it was the sound of the hoe hitting the metal, it seemed to have dug a hard object, Li Ke expected to find it, so he accelerated the speed and continued to dig deeper, after a while, Li Ke took out a cloth bag from the pit, Li Ke carefully put the cloth bag on the table, Li Zheng was also curious about what it was, standing at the door and looking inside with his neck. Li Ke cautiously opened the cloth bag layer by layer, and the contents of the cloth bag were finally revealed, and it was actually a large bag of silver ingots.

Seeing that it was a silver ingot, Li Ke was not surprised, because this matter was within his expectation just now, and he kept patrolling the house, in order to find this thing to verify his thoughts, but Li Zheng was surprised, he had never seen so many silver ingots, this time, regardless of whether Li Ke allowed it or not, he walked in step by step, looked at the silver ingots on the table and sighed: "This Wang San, where did you get so many silver ingots, this is enough to live for a few lifetimes!" ”

Li Ke didn't pay attention to Li Zheng's words, but looked outside the house, Chen Wuji was also standing outside the house at this time, Li Ke roughly clicked on the silver tael and wrapped it up again and handed it to Chen Wuji, and whispered: "I'm tired of Chen Sizhi to send this silver tael back to Long'an Division, and Li Sicheng who I checked and reported today, I will stay and continue to visit." ”

Chen Wuji took the silver taels and asked rhetorically, "How will I report it?" ”

Li Ke thought for a while and replied: "Let's just say that Wang San was bought by Keduo, and the portrait of Keduo should be fake, and Wang San has been killed." ”

Chen Wuji then asked: "Then do you take down the portrait that is now released?" ”

Li Ke replied: "No, everything is as usual." Chen Wuji didn't know what Li Ke's intentions were, but it was inconvenient to ask more, so Shi Li left.

The reason why Li Ke didn't let the portrait be taken down is actually very simple, he doesn't know Keduo's true appearance at the moment, so it's better not to change it, and still maintain the current search situation, this is not for Keduo to see, but for ordinary people to see, so if someone behaves strangely, someone must report it, but you can follow the vine and continue to investigate.

Li Ke turned to Li Zheng and asked, "Has anyone seen the people who were often active in the Dayuan Inn a few days ago?" ”

Li Zheng showed a wry smile on his face and replied: "Yes, someone has seen it, but after the visit, all the people who have been in contact with it have been killed in the Dayuan Inn three days ago, and no one has dared to admit that they have seen it, and they all say that they don't know, and the villain has visited this matter many times." ”

Li Ke shook his head when he heard this, expecting the result to be the same, he whispered to Li Zheng: "Today's matter, I want you to block the news as much as possible, the fewer people who know, the better, if anyone knows, it is difficult to ensure that it will not be extinguished, you can do it?" ”

This Wang San had just died, and Li Zheng naturally knew the powerful relationship, so he hurriedly replied: "The villain obeys the order and will do his best to handle this matter!" ”

Li Ke arched his hands and said, "There is labor! So, he left Ningrenfang.

There was such a toss in Ningrenfang, and I didn't know that it was a moment. Li Ke rushed to the Liang Wangfu non-stop, today's events must be related to Xue Liang, and Li Ke went to implement it clearly.

In front of the gate of King Liang's mansion, the soldier in charge of guarding saw that the person who came was a veteran, so he was disdainful and asked casually: "Who is it?" What happened to the Liang Palace? ”

Li Keshili replied: "I have come to visit Mr. Xue Liang, and it is troublesome to spread the word." ”

The soldier whispered, "Mr. Xue, why don't you see him if you want to?" Who are you? ”

The contempt of the soldier is what Li Ke can predict, there seems to be no one in the Liang Wangfu who is not a bully, Li Ke had no choice but to take out the Long'an token in his arms and hand it to the soldier, and continued: "I and Mr. Xue are old people, and I am troubled to spread the word, he will see me when he sees this token." ”

Seeing that it was Long Ansi's token, the soldier knew that the person who came must be not small, so he immediately changed his face, and said in a soothing tone: "Mr. should show the token early, so as to avoid a misunderstanding, the small one will go to pass the word quickly, Mr. will wait." With that, he turned around and quickly entered the Liang Palace.

After a while, the soldier came back, returned the token to Li Ke, leaned over to Li Ke and whispered: "Mr. Xue said that this place is not suitable for discussion, please Mr. go to the Wanghe Tower next to the Luoshui River to gather." ”

Li Ke arched his hands, gave a salute and said, "Little brother Xie." With that, he hurriedly rushed towards Wanghelou. After all, this Xue Liang is the door of Wu Sansi, and it is inappropriate to discuss with Li Ke in the Liang Palace, plus Li Ke's identity at this time is a fugitive Yi Rong, if he appears in the Liang Palace, he will definitely cause trouble for the Liang Palace.

This Wanghe Tower is also regarded as a prestigious place in Luoyang, the capital of the gods, built by the Luoshui River, the building is set up to be extremely luxurious, the literati ink treasures, the treasures are countless, climb high and overlook by the railing, the scenery of the Luoshui River is in full view, and it is beautiful. But the reason why Wanghelou really makes people go is not only that, first, there are many famous wines and delicacies in Wanghelou, all of which are famous chefs from all over the world, and even the female emperor regularly asks Wanghelou to pay tribute to the palace, which can be seen in general; Second, and most importantly, most of the people who come to Wanghelou are princes and nobles, with excellent privacy, and each table of banquets has set up an independent private room, and the walls have been soundproofed, and it is difficult for outsiders to eavesdrop. Therefore, whenever there is a big event or important matter to discuss, most of them will choose this place. Of course, this Wanghe Tower is not set up for ordinary people, those who can enter it must be dignitaries, over the years, Li Ke has only been invited by friends a few times, one of which is Xue Liang's invitation.

After Li Ke arrived at Wanghe Tower, he reported Xue Liang's name, so he was introduced to a private room by the guys in the store. The name of the private room is called the end of the river pavilion, this pavilion is not big, can only accommodate about six people to eat, but the pavilion is as its name, standing next to the window in the pavilion, the whole Luoshui River scenery is in full view, the scenery is infinite. Li Ke looked out of the window, in just a few hours, the bamboo platform on the Luoshui River has been laid a lot, according to this progress, the Shangyuan Festival will definitely be completed on schedule.

Li Ke was stunned for a moment, and suddenly the pavilion door rang, Li Ke thought that Xue Liang had arrived, and was about to greet him, but it was the guy who came in just now, he held a teapot in his hand, and said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Xue will arrive later, this is the best tea that Mr. Xue specially asked us to prepare, please taste it." ”

Li Ke was anxious at the moment, and he didn't have the heart to taste tea at all, just pointed to the table with his finger, signaled to put it down, and didn't speak again.

After another moment, Xue Liang had not yet arrived, and Li Ke was becoming more and more anxious at the moment, could it be that Xue Liang had an accident on the way? Li Ke was pacing back and forth, and then sat down at the table again, he picked up the teacup, ready to pour a cup of tea for himself, but as soon as the teacup reached his mouth, the vigilance of years of walking in the rivers and lakes reminded him that there may be something strange about today's events.

He carefully took out the silver needle from his arms, carrying the silver needle is his habit of walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and when he encounters suspicious food, he must test it first, he carefully put the silver needle into the teacup, and slowly took it out after soaking the tea, the silver needle was really a little black, Li Ke was shocked in his heart, today he almost fell into the way of others, who is the person who poisoned him? Could it be Xue Liang? Li Ke looked at the silver needle again, the color was not too black, it was not highly poisonous, it should be a drug or something. Li Ke suddenly had an idea in his mind, threw the teacup to the ground, and pretended to be fascinated and lay on the table.

Outside the house, a movement was apparently heard, and after a while, the door was gently opened, it was the guy in the store just now, he crept to Li Ke's side, pushed Li Ke, and shouted: "Guest, guest!" Seeing that Li Ke did not answer, he raised his hand and waved it outside the door, and a few people came in, tied Li Ke's hands and feet tightly with ropes, and put them into a large wooden box.

There was air in the wooden box, and he could still breathe, and Li Ke did not resist, and let him fiddle with it. I heard one person say, "Quick! The boss has explained, and he will be sent to the dungeon as soon as possible. ”

Dungeon? Is it possible to be sent back to the forbidden army prison again? Li Ke thought in his heart, but he was not afraid, he would wait for the time to be carried out and then see the opportunity to act, even if it was a forbidden army prison, if he wanted to escape, it would not be difficult, at this moment he could only know who was poisoned today if he was in danger. Moreover, the person who poisoned him was only drugged, so the purpose should not be to take his life, but his life is safe at the moment.

Li Ke felt like he was being put in a carriage, he held his breath and listened quietly to the voices and movements outside the box, he was trying to recall the layout along the street, so as to judge where he had gone.

The sound of the Luoshui River outside the carriage, the sound of selling outside the shop, and the inspection and conversation at the sentry posts in each square gradually made Li Ke have the bottom in his heart, and he has eight or ninety percent certainty about the person who poisoned him today.
