After coming out of the library pavilion, Li Qi went back to the middle of the mountain, but when he was walking on the road, he suddenly saw a shadow standing in front of the courtyard door, it was Mrs. Qin, looking left and right.

"Richie, you're back."

Li Qicai walked to the door, and Mrs. Qin answered, and said, "I'm sorry, Madame, you have been waiting for a long time." ”

Mrs. Qin's face was slightly red, and she asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"I'm going to see Sister Qingzhao."

Although Mrs. Qin had vaguely guessed that Li Qi was going to see Li Qingzhao, she thought that according to Li Qi's personality, she would definitely use lies to prevaricate her, but she never thought that this time Li Qi would be honest, and she was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You-you said that you would take me to see her." ”

Li Qi nodded and said, "I said it, but I didn't say when I would take you to see Sister Qingzhao." ”

Mrs. Qin was too lazy to play this word game with him, and said with concern: "How is Sister Li now?" ”

Li Qi said: "So far - it's okay. ”

"Then why didn't you rescue Sister Li?"

"Please! This is the crime of murder, and it is known all over the city, can I say that I will let it go? Li Qi rolled his eyes.

Mrs. Qin was shocked and said, "Could it be that Sister Qingzhao really killed her husband?" ”

"This." Li Qi shook his head and said, "At present, I haven't known yet, but the current evidence is extremely unfavorable to Sister Qingzhao. ”

"What?"

Mrs. Qin's body shook, and Li Qi subconsciously stepped forward to support her, and said with concern: "Madam, are you okay?" ”

"Huh?"

Suddenly, there was an exclamation on the stairs.

Li Qi looked up and saw Master Li standing on the stone steps, looking at the two of them in surprise.

Li Qi and Mrs. Qin separated like lightning.

Worst! It's going to be misunderstood again. Li Qi said: "Senior girl, it's not what you think. ”

Mrs. Qin's face was bloody, but this time she didn't blame Li Qi, because she understood that Li Qi was also a kind act.

Master Li smiled and said, "What do I think? What do I think? ”

I almost forgot that this woman is not easy to deal with. Richie shrugged. Didn't make a sound.

Mrs. Qin remembered Li Qingzhao in her heart, and hurriedly said, "Li Qi, Sister Li, she-she." ”

Master Li's face tightened when he heard this, and he walked over at a faster pace, and said, "Sister, what's wrong with her?" ”

Li Qi raised his hand and said, "Madam, senior girl, you don't need to be nervous, no matter what, I won't let Sister Qingzhao have anything to do." Leave it to me, and all you have to do is trust me. ”

Mrs. Qin nodded vigorously a few times, she could only believe Li Qi, and said, "Then can I meet Sister Li." ”

Li Qi nodded and said, "I will arrange this, but you remember, this matter must be carried out in secret, if the news leaks, it will be detrimental to the Ouyang Governor's Mansion." ”

Master Li hurriedly said, "I'm going too." ”

Li Qi said: "Okay. You prepare, I will arrange for someone to send you to see Sister Qingzhao. ”

He also felt that Li Qingzhao needed the support of his relatives and friends very much at this moment, and he needed to find someone to talk to, so he agreed to let Mrs. Qin and Master Li go to see Li Qingzhao. Other than that. Even Li Qi didn't want to have two women chirping on the side when he was investigating the case.

That night, Li Qi quietly asked Ma Qiao to escort Mrs. Qin and Master Li to Li Qingzhao

Following.

To the south of the city, a horse-drawn carriage slowly walked down the street.

"Bu Shuai. In front is Zhao Xiaoxianggong's home. ”

"Slow down."

"Yes."

Li Qi, who was sitting in the car, gently lifted the curtain and looked sideways. But see on the left is a small courtyard surrounded by a wooden fence, this kind of small courtyard was very common in the Song Dynasty, although for ordinary people, this small courtyard is very good, but for Zhao Mingcheng, this is really cold enough, usually the people who live in this kind of courtyard are either some small businessmen, or some low-level officials.

The yard is really not big, there is a room in the east and west, there is a room in the north, a hall and a bedroom, from the outside, I am afraid that there is a total of twenty or thirty square meters, the small is pitiful, and there is a bedroom in the east, it is more than ten square meters, there is a small room in the west, it seems that it should be a kitchen, there is a small open space in the middle of the three rooms, it is surrounded by a wooden fence, and the longest diameter is estimated to be three or four meters.

Li Qi frowned, thinking that Zhao Mingcheng should have lived in the master bedroom in the north at that time, and Liu Qin lived in the bedroom in the east, and if Sister Qingzhao hadn't entered Liu Qin's bedroom at that time, the yard would be so big and clear at a glance, and there would be a door in and out, if someone went in, it would be impossible to escape her eyes, and Zhang Hao was just chatting with her in front of the door, and it was even more impossible for someone to sneak into the kitchen without knowing it.

"Bu Shuai, that's Mrs. Zhang."

When Li Qi heard this, he hurriedly moved to the right and opened the curtains, but saw that there was also a small courtyard surrounded by a wooden fence opposite Zhao Mingcheng's house, but there was only one room in this small courtyard. Of course, he was not deceived by this appearance, but after looking at it for a long time, he didn't notice anything.

Since Li Qi didn't want to attract attention, he didn't tell the carriage to stop, but pretended to be passing by and left slowly.

Li Qi asked, "Is there a back door behind the Zhao family?" ”

"Nope. There was only a small alley behind, so narrow that even the carriage could not enter. ”

"Let's take a look."

"Yes."

After a while, the carriage came to the back, Li Qi turned his head to look, only to see that it was a narrow alley, and behind the Zhao family's courtyard should be a small mansion, and asked, "Who lives in this mansion?" ”

"Oh, this house is lived by a businessman surnamed Jia, but this surname Jia has been running business outside all the year round, no, he just went out to do business after the New Year, but this time he went with his family, it is said that he went to Fuzhou, but it is said that he called a distant relative to help him look at the house before leaving."

By the way, it seems that there is a confession from Jia's family, but she has been in the house all the time and has never come out. Odd? Zhao Mingcheng died a few years ago, why is there no confession from this surnamed Jia? What about only her wife's confession? Li Qi asked, "Then when Zhao Mingcheng died, was he at home?" ”

"No. He only came back on the seventh day after Zhao Xiaoxianggong's death. ”

"I see." Li Qi nodded, and thought, someone has just died here, isn't this distant relative surnamed Jia dare to live in? Then he asked, "Who is this relative surnamed Jia?" ”

"The villain has never seen it, but according to the neighbors, he is a very handsome scholar, but this scholar rarely goes out, and he wants to study at home."

"Is he the only one?"

"Well, he's alone."

"Give me a good look at this man. and the one surnamed Jia. ”

"Yes. Bu Shuai, where to go now? ”

"Let's go to the Lei family pharmacy again."

Since there are no clues to clear Li Qingzhao's name, Li Qi doesn't know how to start, so he can only wander around, and come to the Lei family pharmacy in Xicheng, as Nan Botu said, the store is very large, and the business is very good, at this time Lei Laoshi is busy in the store with a few apprentices.

Based on years of experience in the trade. Li Qi understands that no matter how good you are at doing business, but the key is to have excellent products, if Lei Laoshi is not rumored to be loyal and honest, business will never be so good.

Walked around. Everyone is busy with their own business, and everything is peaceful.

Because it was inconvenient for Li Qi to show up, many things could not be investigated in person. So I can only rely on Nanbo to slaughter them.

Soon, two days passed.

Nan Botu came to Zuixian Villa again, because there are a lot of people here. It played a good cover role, so Li Qi arranged the meeting place in the library pavilion, and for this reason he also dropped the doorman and replaced him with his person.

As soon as Li Qi saw him, he hurriedly asked, "How is it?" Have you ever heard about the woodcutter? ”

The woodcutter is also one of the key figures, it is because of him that Li Qingzhao found the eggplant flower, but because Li Qingzhao did not know the name of this person, he did not see the other party's face clearly, and before Li Qi came, Li Qingzhao had never mentioned it, Ouyang Che naturally did not know such a person's deposit, and even more so he investigated it, so the first thing Li Qi ordered Nan Botu to do was to find this person as much as possible.

Nan Botu shook his head and said, "Back to my lord, the villain is incompetent, and he hasn't been able to find this woodcutter for the time being." ”

Li Qi knew that this was also looking for a needle in a haystack, so he didn't blame Nan Botu, nodded his head, and said, "Then have you scared the snake?" ”

Nan Bo Tu hurriedly said: "This adult please rest assured, the villain is to let people pretend to be woodcutters to go to the mountains and forests that Li Niangzi said to cut wood, if you meet a woodcutter, go over to chat a few words, by the way, we met the two woodcutters who saw Li Niangzi, but did not inquire about the woodcutter who pointed the way for Li Niangzi, and we met a total of more than ten woodcutters and hunters in the past two days, and they didn't know that there were eggplant flowers nearby. ”

"Really?"

Li Qi frowned and said, "Then did you find that mountain pass?" ”

"According to the route provided by the adults, there is indeed a mountain col there, but the place is very hidden, there is only one path to go, if it is not for the adults to tell the villain in advance, the villains will be difficult to appear."

Could it be that Sister Qingzhao was really so lucky to meet a woodcutter who knew about that mountain pass? This is inevitably too lucky, if this is the case, then it can only be said that God will accept Zhao Mingcheng too. Li Qi thought for a moment, and thought to himself, it seems that I have to go for myself

Sunset.

Liu Yunxi walked over from the room, originally with her character, she had already left and would not live with Li Qi and them, but she never proposed to leave, it can be seen that she also likes it very much, and she likes the Zuixian Villa at sunset the most, whenever this time, she will come out to see the scenery, and she used to be with Mrs. Qin and Master Li, but now the two women have gone to Li Qingzhao and stayed with them for a month or two, and suddenly separated, Liu Yunxi still felt a little uncomfortable.

Because Master Li is too perceptive and can speak, under her influence, Liu Yunxi has slowly become a little gregarious, and he no longer lives alone.

This shows that she is not withdrawn by nature.

"Shi Niang, Shi Niang."

Liu Yunxi suddenly heard someone calling her below, looked down, and saw Li Qi waving at her, walked down, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Dinner, of course."

Li Qi pointed to the table by the fence and said, "You have a good mouth, I made it myself." Please, please. ”

Liu Yunxi didn't say much, because these days, they all eat together, but today it was a little earlier, and Li Qi walked over and sat opposite, but saw that there was a braised crucian carp, a spring bamboo shoot, and a duck tongue on the table, and the portion was not much, and it was only eaten by two people, Li Qi didn't like to waste it very much. Of course, it is another matter if someone else invites him to a banquet, after all, waste can also be said to be a not-so-good tradition of Chinese cuisine.

Li Qi stretched out his hand and gestured, "Taste it." ”

Liu Yunxi picked up the chopsticks, but put them down again, looked at Li Qi thoughtfully, and said, "Do you have something to ask me for?" ”

Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "Of course not." ”

"Really?"

"Absolutely."

Although Liu Yunxi is simple, he is not familiar with the world. But after being fooled by Li Qi a few times, he also learned some lessons, Li Qi's expression, this tone. She seemed to have seen each other, couldn't believe Li Qi's nonsense, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I state it in advance." Don't wait for me to take a bite and say I owe you a favor, no matter what you ask me to do. I would never say yes. ”

Sweat! When did this weirdo become so shrewd? Li Qi was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't know that this was all trained by him, and he thought, this woman has always done what she says, if that's the case, then didn't I make this meal for nothing, this is not good, it is too much of a loss. smiled and said: "That--then inviting you to go to the spring, it shouldn't be considered to be something to ask for, right?" ”

"Spring?" Liu Yunxi shook his head and said, "I'm not interested." ”

"Don't you like to go to the mountains the most? Besides, the mountains in the south of the Yangtze River are much more beautiful than Bianliang. ”

"You're right, but I'm not interested in going with you."

Embarrassing!

Fortunately, there was no one on the side, Li Qi squeezed out a smile and said, "Shi Niang, you are really joking." ”

"I'm not very good at joking."

This woman is really hateful, I always beg her for Mao, and she always doesn't come to me, God, this is too unfair. Li Qi wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead a little and said, "That's the case, I have a little thing that I want you to help me with." ”

Liu Yunxi said lightly: "Fortunately, I didn't eat it." ”

"Don't think I'm so snobbish, even if you eat it, I won't force you to agree, and I just want you to accompany me to the mountains."

"No, no."

Li Qi sighed and said, "This little thing, you don't need to refuse so quickly." ”

Liu Yunxi didn't answer and asked, "Since it's a trivial matter, why do you want me to go with you?" ”

"Well, that's the case, in fact, this is about Sister Qingzhao's case, you should also know that Zhao Mingcheng died because he ate too much eggplant flowers, so I plan to go to the mountains to have a look, but I don't know much about this aspect, but one thing is for sure, I am not doing this for myself."

Liu Yunxi did not hesitate at all, nodded and said, "Okay." I'll go with you. ”

Li Qi's eyes widened and said, "What do you promise?" ”

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Because Mrs. Zhao is a good person, if I can help her, I am willing to make a modest contribution." Liu Yunxi said bluntly.

Although she did not have any contact with Li Qingzhao, but when she was defending Kaifeng, she read Li Qingzhao's article, and she was deeply touched in her heart, and it was the first time she understood what patriotism was, and she also knew that Li Qingzhao originally had the opportunity to go, but she didn't, but stayed in Kaifeng to share the hardships with the people, and her impression of Li Qingzhao was very good, so when Li Qi proposed that it was because of Li Qingzhao, she agreed without thinking about it.

It stands to reason that Liu Yunxi agreed, Li Qi should be very happy, but he couldn't be happy, and said: "I said Shi Niang, aren't you, I invited you to go, you didn't want to, so you refused, but as soon as I mentioned Sister Qingzhao, you immediately agreed, and said that Sister Qingzhao is a good person, don't you mean that I am not a good person?" ”

"It has nothing to do with good or bad."

"What does that have to do with that?"

"I just don't want to help you."

"Why?"

"Because you always lie to me."

"This." (To be continued......)
