The 13th day of the first lunar month (5)
Li Ke opened the door of the dungeon and walked out, and sure enough, it was in line with his judgment, this was Wujiang's mansion, and the dungeon where Princess Khitan Azina was held just now was held. Seeing Li Ke walk out, the entourage on Wujiang Mansion didn't know why, since no one dared to stop him, Li Ke looked around, didn't go to the main gate, ran to the courtyard wall, jumped up, and left Wujiang Mansion from the courtyard wall.
Being tossed by Wu Sansi and Wu Jiang like this has delayed a lot of time, but for Li Ke, it is not without gain. First, this action was not instructed by Xue Liang, and he was not an enemy for the time being, which can be regarded as a fortunate thing; Second, judging from the attitudes of Wu Sansi and Wu Jiang, perhaps the previous matters were indeed not instigated by the two of them, which also eliminated some interference factors for the investigation of the case; Third, and most importantly, Wu Jiang said something that leaked his mouth, but this matter is not completely certain at present. At present, we still have to look for Xue Liang first, and then make inferences after getting further information, thinking of this, Li Ke once again marched towards the Liang Wangfu.
After a while, Li Ke arrived at the Liang Wang's Mansion, and the guards guarding outside the mansion were still the same as before, and they couldn't help but be shocked when they saw Li Ke, and they were thinking about how to speak. Li Ke walked straight to the guard, without waiting for the guard to speak, he directly slapped his palm on his chest, the guard couldn't react, and was directly hit to the wall of his hand, Li Ke took a step forward, pulled out the long sword from the guard's waist, and put it on the guard's erection neck, Li Ke's series of actions happened too fast. At this time, the other guards on the side finally reacted, but they didn't care about the life or death of the guards, and pulled out the blades in their hands and directly besieged Li Ke.
Li Ke turned around and struck, with a sword of luck, directly cut off the blade in the hand of the guard closest to him, the man was startled by this blow, stayed in place, did not react, Li Ke took advantage of the situation and kicked in the chest of the man, the man flew backwards two or three zhang away, and spit blood in his mouth after landing, everyone saw this, they could only raise the blade in their hands, and did not dare to move forward, Li Ke once again used the sword of luck to wave at him in the air, this sword broke all the blades in everyone's hands, and the guards were afraid that they had seen such martial arts for the first time in their lives, was so frightened by this sudden blow that he didn't dare to move anymore, Li Ke shouted: "If you don't want to die, get out!" Only then did everyone seem to be relieved, and they hurriedly picked up the guards who had just fallen to the ground and pushed open the door and ran towards the Liang Palace.
Li Ke turned around and put the sword on the guard's neck again, and asked sharply, "Is Mr. Xue Liang at this time?" ”
The guard was also frightened, and said in a trembling voice: "In... At... ”
Li Ke said again: "Take me to him!" Li Ke said, the guard struggled for a long time, and finally climbed up against the wall, ready to lead the way, but as soon as he entered the mansion gate, Li Ke did not expect the scene in front of him, it turned out that several guards who had fled into the mansion just now had all gathered the guards of the Liang Wang's Mansion, armed with blades, bows and arrows, and there were hundreds of people lined up to fight.
Li Ke hesitated in his heart, the hundreds of people in front of him, if they fought hard, it was not impossible for him to win, but it was bound to cause casualties, and the bloodbath of the Liang Wangfu was not the result he wanted to see, no matter what happened, the crime would be big, and no one would be able to help him wash it off, he wanted to teach the guard some lessons, and then enter the mansion to see Xue Liang, but he never expected that there would be such a move. Thinking of this, Li Ke breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I am here today, just to see Mr. Xue Liang, I don't want to hurt the innocent, you don't want to force me to make a move." ”
The guard who was kicked to the ground by Li Ke at the beginning and spat blood in his mouth was also in the formation at this moment, he was on fire in his heart, he couldn't win alone, could it be that more than 100 people couldn't beat you? No matter how great your ability is, it is expected that this bow and crossbow will be fired in unison, and you will be afraid that it will be difficult for you to resist. So he didn't care what Li Ke said, and coaxed loudly: "You are arrogant, this is the Liang Palace, today we will take down you, a thief!" Shoot the arrows! ”
As soon as the shout of "release the arrow" fell, all the bows and crossbows were fired in unison! Li Ke hurriedly dodged back to the door of the mansion, and the arrows shot at the door of the mansion with a cluster of "boom, boom, boom", Li Ke glanced through the crack in the door, and the guard who entered with him couldn't dodge, and his legs and hands had been hit by several arrows and fell to the ground, screaming in pain. Li Ke's heart was suddenly furious, and in order to vent his anger, he didn't even scruple about his colleagues. Li Ke was furious in his heart, and hurriedly took off his armor, and went out into the crack in the door, seeing that something flew in, everyone's tight strings suddenly shot out, and the arrows shot at Li Ke's armor in unison.
Li Ke took the opportunity to rush in quickly, and at the moment when everyone changed arrows, Li Ke had quickly come to the front of the guards, and the speed was staggering. Especially the guards in the first row, it would never take more than two snaps of their fingers to see that they were shooting armor, and it would never take more than two fingers for Li Ke to appear in front of him. Li Ke didn't say a word, he kicked up with a heavy foot, and the crossbowman flew back, suddenly overwhelming a large number of guards behind him, and the guards were in chaos. Li Ke continued to jump into the crowd without stopping, attacking both sides, because Li Ke had already jumped into his own phalanx, the crossbowmen did not dare to shoot again, for fear of accidentally injuring their own side, so they could only draw their blades to meet the battle. But which of these guards is Li Ke's opponent, Li Ke is holding a sword, walking back and forth in the crowd, the swordsmanship is peculiar, the body is strange and fluttering, everyone can't fight at all, and they are knocked down by Li Ke one after another, but Li Ke deliberately avoided when he made a move, mostly attacking his hands and feet, but he never took his life. In the chaotic battle, Li Ke finally saw the guard who was coaxing just now, so he no longer cared about him, and attacked him directly, the man also realized that he had become the target of Li Ke, and turned around to escape, but Li Ke's speed was too fast, an arrow stepped forward, and a sword stabbed out at the man's ankle, and the man fell down in response, Li Ke jumped forward again, pointed his sword at the man's throat, and yelled: "Stop me!" In just over ten snaps of time, the guards have been beaten by Li Ke to as many as twenty or thirty people, and everyone was shocked by Li Ke's martial arts. Li Ke saw that everyone finally stopped, so he said loudly: "I don't want to hurt the innocent today, and the battle just now was instigated by this person, I hope you don't force me again!" ”
Seeing this, the man hurriedly endured the sharp pain in his ankle, got up and knelt on the ground, his head hit the ground with a loud bang, and begged for mercy loudly: "Please let go of the little one's life, the little one is wrong!" Li Ke shouted: "Just now you instigated everyone to release arrows, causing injuries to your colleagues, have you ever felt that you were wrong?" Have you ever thought about sparing someone else's life? Today, I will get rid of you! "Anyway, raise your sword and want to kill! At this moment, someone suddenly shouted loudly: "Brother Li, stop it!" ”
Li Ke looked up and saw that it was Xue Liang, and he anxiously ran and shouted: "Stop, don't make things bigger!" Seeing that it was Xue Liang, Li Ke also stopped the sword in his hand, Xue Liang finally ran in front of him, panted and said, "If you want to see me, let the guards give orders, why is this so?" Without waiting for Li Ke to explain, Xue Liang hurriedly snatched the sword from Li Ke's hand and said loudly to everyone: "This is my old friend, a misunderstanding, let's disperse!" Xue has a lot of work. ”
Everyone looked at Xue Liang, and then looked at Li Ke, Li Ke's martial arts they saw in their eyes, they didn't want to be their enemies, seeing Xue Liang come forward to relieve the siege, so they each helped the wounded to disperse, and the kneeling guards saw this, so they hurriedly said: "Xie Daxia's grace not to kill, Xie Daxia's grace not to kill... Seeing that Li Ke didn't respond, he beckoned the two people around him to help him and hurriedly retreated.
Xue Liang looked around, sighed and said, "Brother Li, why is this so?" With that, he led Li Ke to his study.
After arriving at the study, Li Ke informed Xue Liang of all today's events, including the first visit to Liang Wangfu, Wangjiang Tower, Wujiang Mansion and other things. ”
Li Ke also felt that he was indeed a little excessive, so he calmed down first, and couldn't help but be a little apologetic, so he bowed down and said: "Today's incident is indeed that Li Mou was abrupt, and everyone was injured, it is really... ”
Without waiting for Li Ke to finish speaking, Xue Liangyi waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's all over, fortunately, things haven't expanded further." Brother Li, what are you looking for Xue this time? ”
Li Ke saw that Xue Liang finally got back to the point, so he said: "Li hopes that Mr. Xue, the Ming people don't say dark words, who is the death of Wang San in Ningrenfang today?" ”
Hearing Li Ke ask like this, Xue Liang's expression was calm, and he also knew in his heart that Li Ke's visit must be for this matter, he did not rush to answer, but asked rhetorically: "Xue also received the news about the murder of Wang San, but Xue did not know, why did Brother Li come to ask me, could it be that Brother Li thought that Xue killed Wang San?" ”
Li Ke said: "Don't hide it from Mr. Xue, Li has inspected the scene of the incident. Wang San should have been killed suddenly while eating, and it can be easily judged from the wine and food scattered on the ground; There are obvious drag marks in Wang San's house, in other words, Wang San was killed, and then his body was dragged away by others and abandoned in the well. ”
Xue Liang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Brother Li is really meticulous and meticulous, which is basically consistent with Xue's speculation, but what does this have to do with me?" ”
Li Ke continued: "This is definitely not a gram... What Keduo did, I will call it Keduo for the time being. ”
Xue Liang didn't care about Li Ke's title for Keduo, and continued to ask: "Why not Keduo?" ”
Li Ke replied: "This Keduo is strong in martial arts, judging from every previous case, the victim is a knife, if he wants to kill Wang San, why is it so troublesome?" Therefore, Li speculated that there must be someone else who killed Wang San, and this person's martial arts are average, judging from the degree of panic at the scene, this person is not specialized in killing, and this time it must have been done by accident. ”
Xue Liang slapped his fists and said with a smile: "Brother Li is really powerful, and his inference is reasonable, so he suspects Xue?" ”
Li Keyi arched his hand and said, "Today, Mr. Xue has indeed been to Ningrenfang, so I will ask here." ”
Xue Liang continued: "Brother Li and Xue have also been friends for many years, and Xue also said bluntly, I am definitely not the murderer of this matter, and I am still investigating this matter, if Brother Li does not believe it, please ask Brother Li to ask one more question." ”
Li Ke asked, "What is the problem?" ”
Xue Liang replied: "Motive! Why did I kill Wang San? I believe that Brother Li himself has judged that Liang Wang is not a person who colludes with Keduo, and killing Wang San is not beneficial to Liang Wang, on the contrary, if Wang San is obtained, Xue can still help Liang Wang solve the case and get this great achievement, so he will not kill him. ”
Xue Liang's words, such as waking up the person in the dream, Li Ke secretly thought in his heart, so he bowed down and said, "Mr. Xie Xue explains!" Li said goodbye! As soon as he took a step, Li Ke turned around and said, "Today's matter of Liang Wangfu, please forgive Mr. Xue, and ask Mr. Xue to be thoughtful for Li." ”
Xue Liang nodded and said, "That's right!" ”
Li Ke stopped talking, opened the door and wanted to leave, but as soon as the door opened, Wu Jiang happened to come to Xue Liang's door, the two glanced at each other, and they both felt a little surprised, but at this moment, Wu Jiang was afraid of Li Ke, and hurriedly took a step back, his eyes avoided Li Ke, and whispered to the house: "Mr. Xue, King Liang invites you to go to the meeting." ”
Li Ke didn't say much, and left the Liang Wangfu directly, wanting to return to Long'an Division.
