The case of fraud in the imperial examination not long ago was jointly participated by Lu Xuan and Lin Xiao.

In the end, Han Shoufu's brother-in-law Xie Zhiping clearly had a problem, but because there was no conclusive evidence, the top did not want to investigate deeply, so he ignored it.

Of course, Lin Xiao didn't have a good impression of Xie Zhiping, but if a new case was named and investigated without in-depth investigation, in his opinion, it was easy to cause omissions due to preconceived ideas.

"Brother Lin doesn't think it's really Qi Shuqiang who the You family has found, right?"

Lin Xiao's eyes flashed slightly: "Do you think there is something else?" ”

Lu Xuan hooked the corners of his lips slightly, and did not hide the coldness in his eyes in front of his friends: "The You family and the Feng family are in-laws, if you really want to think about the side door, it is common sense that you should first find the father-in-law who is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but they obviously haven't even tried." ”

Lin Xiao's expression became solemn: "Are you saying that it is not Qi Shuqiang who is looking for Qi Shuqiang, but the You family that Qi Shuqiang is looking for?" ”

Lu Xuan couldn't help laughing: "Not bad." ”

He and Lin Xiao can become friends, and easy communication is very important.

Lin Xiao rubbed his eyebrows and analyzed: "If it is the You family that Qi Shuqiang found, it is to bait the You family in the name of raising people's merits, and put forward some kind of requirements for the You family. ”

Lu Xuan sneered: "What requirements can the You family meet for others?" ”

Lin Xiao was taken aback: "Feng Shangshu? ”

"Yes, Feng Shangshu." Lu Xuan's eyes were gloomy, "Brother Lin still remembers that Miss Feng fell into the hands of a kidnapper, right?" ”

Lin Xiao nodded.

"At that time, it was her uncle's cousin who forcibly dragged her to see the excitement."

Lin Xiao was stunned, and returned to normal after a while.

After investigating the case for a long time, I have seen all the darkness, and the deepest harm often comes from people close to me.

Lu Xuan tapped his fingers on the table and said in a deep voice: "And Qi Shuqiang, why can't he get along with the book of the dignified ceremonial department?" It's nothing more than serving the master. ”

Qi Shuqiang threw himself into Han Shoufu, and the person who was closely connected with him was Han Shoufu's brother-in-law Xie Zhiping.

In Lu Xuan's view, Feng Cheng's encounter with the bandits this time is very similar to the despicable methods that fell into the hands of the "kidnappers" last time, very similar to the style of the same group.

Lin Xiao pondered for a moment and agreed with Lu Xuan's judgment: "Then focus on checking Xie Zhiping, and the people who buy the murderer often can't let go." ”

"It's nature. Cha Xie Zhiping should not be quiet, it is better to leave it to me, and Brother Lin will take care of the rest. ”

After the two finished talking, they sat down and drank tea.

Lin Xiao finally couldn't help but ask: "Brother Lu learned about these inside information, is it related to Miss Feng?" ”

Lu Xuan glanced at him and ignored this boring question.

Lin Xiao smiled: "No wonder." ”

He also wondered why Lu Xuan suddenly became so familiar with a girl, it turned out that the reason was here.

In this way, they have known each other half a year ago.

Half a year ago - Lin Xiao suddenly didn't want to laugh.

He didn't know anything for so long, was this his attitude towards his friends?

"Let's go." Lu Xuan didn't notice his friend's care.

The division of labor is arranged, so it is natural to do the right thing, and what time is wasted drinking tea here.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you notice it, what is the hypocrisy of a big man.

Lin Xiao investigated the connections of the murderer in a high-profile manner, while Lu Xuan quietly stared at Xie Zhiping.

The hard work paid off, and soon a situation attracted Lu Xuan's attention.

A doorman from Xie Mansion suddenly left Beijing to do business.

In normal times, it is not surprising that the doorman goes out to run errands for the master's family, but this time is enough to touch Lu Xuan's sensitive strings.

confessed that his henchmen continued to keep an eye on Xie Zhiping, and he personally went to chase people.

Going out of Beijing is commonplace for Lu Xuan, which is why people in Beijing only know Lu Mo and don't know Lu Xuan.

The doorman hid in a town, and on the way back to his lodgings in the evening, he was still complaining.

The master was too careful, and he had to send him out of Beijing to avoid the limelight.

Coming from the bustling capital to this town where birds don't, there is not even a decent woman.

I don't know how long it will take to survive such days.

The doorman entered the door, and the subordinate waited for him to bathe and change his clothes, and walked into the house.

The room was lit with lights, and the light was dim.

The doorman stretched and walked towards the bed.

A chill hit his neck, and a deep voice sounded: "Don't move." ”

The doorman's cold hair stood up, and he asked tremblingly: "Who ......?"

He also has kung fu, and he didn't even notice that there was anyone in the house.

"Let's talk?" The voice sounded again, deep and clear.

The doorman could conclude that this was a very young man.

He wanted to nod, but the dagger across his neck didn't move, and he immediately felt a pain.

"Be smart, make a fuss, and blame me for the ruthlessness of the dagger in my hand."

"Good ......"

The coldness of his neck left, and a teenager turned to the doorman.

The young man's skin is as white as jade, his eyebrows and eyes are lined with black clothes, and his temperament is cold.

Far younger than the doorman guessed.

"Sit." Lu Xuan pointed to the chair.

The doorman sat honestly, judging the possibility of escape.

"Thinking of running away?" Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows, a chuckle on the corner of his mouth.

The doorman's heart sank.

is obviously a very handsome young man, but that chuckle makes people's scalp tingle, like seeing a ghost.

"I advise you not to do this kind of stupid thing." Lu Xuan fiddled with the dagger, and his tone was cold.

The cold slowly crept up the doorman's back.

The other party obviously didn't do anything, but he just felt extremely dangerous.

"You...... Who the hell is it? ”

Lu Xuan smiled: "Instead of asking me who I am, let's talk about the reason why you came to this town." ”

The doorman said strongly: "I am from Lord Xie's house, and I am here to do things for Lord Xie, and our Lord Xie is Han Shoufu's wife and brother." ”

"Errands?" Lu Xuan leaned over slightly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Isn't it a way to avoid the limelight?" ”

The doorman was startled and stared at Lu Xuan.

The young man brushed the dagger with his fingertips, and his tone was lazy: "Since we are meeting in this situation, don't waste time by hiding it." You came here to take refuge because of the fact that Miss Feng Xiao Qingshan was in danger. ”

"I don't know what you're talking about." The doorman's heart was stunned, and he didn't recognize it.

As soon as the words fell, I saw the young man in front of him throw the dagger on the table, and when he reacted, a pair of slightly cool hands had fallen on his neck.

The hands tightened violently, so powerful that he didn't even have the slightest room to resist.

By this time, the men were fully aware of the disparity in force between the two.

Consistent with the confidence shown by the young man, he was doing something stupid to try to escape.

The hands tightened tighter and tighter, and the doorman struggled and screamed, but all he could shout was an inaudible whining.

His face was flushed and he couldn't breathe, as if he had fallen into an endless deep pool, a pain that could not be seen.

Suddenly, the hands let go.

The breathing was suddenly free, and the doorman coughed violently, coughing tears and snot.

The subordinate heard the movement and asked about the situation outside.

The doorman looked at the owner of the hands.

Under the dim candlelight, the black-clothed young man looked at him quietly, his dark eyes like the deep pool that he couldn't break free.
