Chapter XVIII
Sometimes women think about problems in a completely different way than men, and the difference is eye-popping. Some people are not afraid of death, or die for their confidants, or die generously for the sake of righteousness; And women know that righteousness has little effect, on the contrary, some seemingly inconsequential details will be very important to them.
She wants to be cared for and to receive a gift, even if it's a small one, on a special day. It's all things that aren't very important...... Sanniang is no exception, although she lives in a dark world and always goes out day and night, she also values the care of others.
When she killed Feng Yuanjun last time, her sentence "Yuwen Xiao has always verbally said that she treats us as her own children, but I know that I have never been as noble as Yuwen Ji", Xue Chongxun should actually understand her thoughts.
When Xue Chongxun took her hand and ran into the house, Sanniang's heart suddenly flowed a trace of warmth, she even forgot about the danger she was facing, her mind was full of Xue Chongxun's warm and rough big hands, the big hands that were cocooned because of martial arts training, and there was a smell of sunshine.
No matter how bad a person Xue Chongxun is, no matter how corrupt his morals are and how evil he is, but at this time, in Sanniang's heart, he is a good person.
Xue Chongxun pulled her to his room, and looked left and right, there was still no particularly hidden place. His bedroom is simply and elegantly furnished, only couches, chairs, desks, incense tripods and other things, and there are no facilities such as secret passages for the wall, in fact, even if the wall is repaired, others will still be able to search for it, an official of Li Shouyi's age is well-informed, and he may be able to see at a glance what facilities a building has.
"Lang Jun, I have a saying......" Sanniang saw Xue Chongxun's appearance in the room, and suddenly said, but Xue Chongxun immediately interrupted her, he said: "Later, it's too late now, you go to bed, I'll deal with Li Shouyi in a while." ”
Sanniang had to follow his wishes and prepare to go to bed, but she didn't report any hope.
At this time, Xue Chongxun thought about it, and stopped her again: "Don't hide in bed, you go under the bed...... Pei Niang, come in. ”
The little girl at the door, Pei Niang, walked in timidly, she was Xue Chongxun's maid, but she always slept outside the screen, just waiting for Xue Chongxun to live.
"You go to bed and take your clothes outside." Xue Chongxun ordered.
Pei Niang had no choice but to take off her shirt and skirt, and climbed onto Xue Chongxun's bed wearing only white obscene clothes. She is so disheveled, and it is very bad to be seen by men, but the obscene clothes and pants inside are all long and not exposed at all.
Xue Chongxun immediately stepped forward, pulled the quilt to cover Pei Niang's head, and ordered: "Don't make any movement for any of you, just stay well." ”
At this time, there was a messy footstep on the corridor outside, Xue Chongxun got up and walked out of the door, only to see Li Shouyi walking towards this side with a small group of people.
Xue Chongxun shouted first: "Li Shouyi, you are so bold, this is to raid my home?" ”
After Li Shouyi approached, he hugged his fists without humility or arrogance: "The old man's people saw with their own eyes that the murderer had entered the Weiguo Mansion and came in to search for people, which was in accordance with the holy decree of the Lord today, and the official affairs were carried out, so I asked the Weiguo Gong to cooperate." ”
Xue Chongxun sneered: "Do you think you can be promoted by doing this?" ”
Li Shouyi said awe-inspiringly: "The old man wishes that the mountain village is a husband, he only likes to plough the fields and study, and there are thin fields with one acre and three points enough to make a living, and now he is out of office, is it to be promoted and make a fortune?" ”
Xue Chongxun said: "I hope the words in your mouth are from your heart, otherwise it will be disgusting." ”
As soon as Li Shou saw Xue Chongxun blocking the door, he asked again, "This room is Wei Guogong's bedroom?" ”
"Exactly."
Li Shouyi: "I also have to search here." ”
"You dare!" Xue Chongxun said angrily, "There are my relatives in the room, I see that you are not here to search for people, but to deliberately humiliate me!" ”
"The old man is business-oriented, and he will never abolish his business for personal reasons. Please Wei Guogong move, and search here too. ”
Xue Chongxun stepped aside and said coldly: "If you can't find anything, I will seek justice from you in this matter." ”
"Humph!" Li Shouyi was really a hard stone that was not afraid of heaven and earth, and he didn't care about Xue Chongxun's threat at all, so he walked inside, and when the few servants behind saw Li Shouyi walking forward, they also followed.
Li Shouyi walked into the room and didn't make any moves, just stood at the door and looked around, and then said to a servant next to him: "You stay here." Then he went straight inside, bypassed the screen, and came to Xue Chongxun's bedroom.
Xue Chongxun also followed, pointed to the room and said, "Where do you think I can hide people here?" ”
Li Shouyi noticed the big bed, and there was obviously a person in the quilt, so he asked, "Who is on the bed?" ”
"My roommate. You suddenly broke in, she didn't have time to get dressed, and now it's inconvenient to see people, you guys go out quickly after searching! ”
Li Shouyi glanced back at the informant dressed as a soldier behind him, but said to the other servant: "Go and lift the quilt and see who it is." ”
"Li Shouyi!" Xue Chongxun walked quickly to the bed, turned his back to a large cabinet at the head of the bed, and said angrily, "I am a dignified defender of the country, and now I am my uncle, you dare to humiliate my woman in front of so many people?" Don't blame me for not reminding you, everything comes at a price. ”
Li Shouyi gritted his teeth, the muscles of his cheeks tensed, and stared at Xue Chongxun and said, "This official only does business. Come on, lift the quilt! ”
No one dared to move behind him, they all looked at each other, but they couldn't move a step under their feet like a pile. Li Shouyi looked at them with disdain, and snorted, "Bloodless thing! With that, he strode to the bed, grabbed the corner of the quilt, and opened it with a "whew".
I saw a well-behaved girl who was only twelve or thirteen years old, curled up on the bed wearing only obscene clothes, and screamed in horror...... Obviously, such a young girl is not the murderer. Everyone's faces turned pale, and they all secretly looked at Xue Chongxun's expression, and they were all extremely afraid.
Li Shouyi's face also changed a little, and he hurriedly turned his head and put the quilt on Pei Niang's body, but he immediately regained his composure, and he suddenly found that after Xue Chongxun came in, he was directly in front of the big cabinet behind, even when someone wanted to lift the quilt, Xue Chongxun didn't move, Li Shouyi suddenly felt very strange, and couldn't help but pay extra attention to the cabinet.
"The old man wants to check the cabinet." Li Shou said without changing his face.
Xue Chongxun glared angrily, his face was pale, his hand had already pressed the saber on his waist, and there was no sound in the room at all, and the servants all stared at Xue Chongxun's right hand in fear. A murderous aura spread around, and it was an atmosphere that made people feel like there was suddenly a large block of ice, and the temperature suddenly dropped.
"You try." Xue Chongxun said in a cold and ruthless tone.
Li Shouyi's subordinates wanted to persuade him, but they suddenly felt like a fish in their throats, and no one could say a word. Everyone secretly shouted bad luck, why did they follow a stunned old guy? After they came in, they lifted the quilt of the other woman, although they didn't see anything to be ashamed of seeing people, but their faces had been torn, if Xue Chongxun really started to draw his sword and kill a few, who could guarantee that it would not die in vain?
The entire Tang Empire belongs to their Li family, and Xue Chongxun's mother is the daughter of two generations of emperors......
Li Shouyi's subordinates were extremely nervous, and some of them had even made up their minds to run out once they started, don't lose their lives here in vain, and die a terrible death.
Li Shouyi's brain was tendoned, but he was not stupid, he also heard the murderous aura in Xue Chongxun's three words, his pupils contracted, and he looked at Xue Chongxun with four eyes. At this moment, Li Shouyi was probably hesitating in his heart. Is he frozen here for face, or is the Buddha fighting for a stick of incense?
"Duke Wei, your grandmother is a princess of the Tang Dynasty, and your mother is also a princess, and you have the blood of the Li Tang Dynasty clan in your body. You see, what am I fighting for? What I fight for is the justice of Datang and the dignity of national law! Li Shouyi looked at Xue Chongxun calmly and said, "I, Li Shouyi, was originally a puppet, and it is not a pity to die." ”
Xue Chongxun was touched in his heart after hearing this, this old man is a person with one heart and mouth? He was not familiar with Li Shouyi and couldn't understand his personality, if what he said was from his heart, Xue Chongxun would really be a little moved.
When people are accustomed to the unjust status quo, they will adapt to it and accept it when they are helpless, but it does not mean that they are willing to praise the gloom and injustice...... In short, Li Shouyi's persistence touched Xue Chongxun.
Of course, if Li Shouyi is a person like Jixiang, no matter how righteous Li Shouyi is, it will have no effect, but he is very lucky, these words are said to Xue Chongxun, Xue Chongxun is at least a nobleman, no matter how dark his heart is, he must abide by the "righteousness" of Confucianism on the surface.
Xue Chongxun's hand slowly let go of the hilt of the sword, and he silently moved from the front of the cabinet. Li Shouyi didn't speak, walked to the cabinet, and opened the cabinet in front of Xue Chongxun, but there was nothing in it except clothes.
If Li Shouyi wants to continue to search the bottom of the bed and other places now, Xue Chongxun will have no choice. However, Li Shou saw that there was no one in the cabinet, and the furnishings of the room were so simple, but he didn't dwell on it much, and waved his hand: "Go." ”
As Li Shouyi himself said, he didn't hate the murderer much when he investigated the criminal case, but just to insist on a belief. If he tried his best to still not find out, he was not to blame for bending the law for personal gain, in this world, there are many cases that have not been clarified.
The official searched other places in the mansion again, but naturally found nothing. Then the officials who came in with him interrogated the servants of the Xue Mansion on the spot, recorded a confession, and left the Xue Mansion.
At this time, Sanniang crawled out from under the bed, shook off the clothes on her body, and saw Xue Chongxun sitting on the chair next to her.
Xue Chongxun smiled bitterly: "Li Shouyi, he has nothing to do with the Feng family, and he has no grudges against me, so he is really willing to work hard......"
Sanniang didn't care about the kind of "righteousness" that Li Shouyi insisted on at all, let alone being moved, so when she talked about other things, she asked faintly: "If Li Shouyi wanted to search the bottom of the bed just now, would Lang Jun draw his sword?" ”
