"How?" Xia Qiu said curiously.

"You guessed it right, Rimasa is dead." Hung on the beams of the house.

Xia Qiu asked, "Can you convict him this time?" ”

"Inside, he hanged himself."

Xia Qiu: "......" is really an old fox, his means are powerful enough, and he kills people without blood.

forced people to commit suicide, and they couldn't trouble him if they wanted to. He was so clever that he didn't leave any clues at all.

"He killed Li Zheng, because he was afraid that you would investigate the Zheng family's fire case half a year ago?"

Lu Tingxiu frowned, "It's hard to draw a conclusion for the time being." ”

is entangled in official business, and there are too many cases involved behind the murder case, which cannot be sorted out in three days. Besides, if Lu Tingxiu insists on staying to investigate the case, it is not true that he is secretly investigating iron powder, but it is easier to startle the snake.

It's better to be busy with the matter at hand, and then slowly investigate the murder of Shiba.

Busy on the road, Lu Tingxiu and Xia Qiu got up early, and just after breakfast in the front hall of the inn and were about to leave, the father and son of the Hua family showed up.

Hua Feng came over to greet him, and wanted to invite Lord Lu to go to Liangzhou with him, and there were many people who talked on the way.

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, Lu Tingxiu said regretfully: "Master Xie Hua is gracious, but this official still has to go to Phoenix Mountain today to inspect the construction period, and it is not too late for us to see each other in Liangzhou." ”

The county commander had something to do, but Hua Feng didn't dare to stay, so he personally sent people to the carriage, and then came back for breakfast.

There are no cliffs in Phoenix Mountain, but there are dangerous shoals and rapids. The river is more than 20 zhang wide, not wide but the water is turbulent and half a zhang deep, people can use a sling to cross the river, but the carriage and horses are impassable.

Don't look at it as just a river, but in wartime it is enough to make a detour of more than 300 miles, and the steep mountains in the southwest will delay the journey for five or six days.

These five or six days were enough to completely reverse the advantages and disadvantages of the battle situation.

On both sides of the riverbank, there are all bare-chested strong men, they cut down trees nearby, blow up mountains to get boulders, and compete on the other bank from time to time shouting Liangzhou's unique mountain songs.

The rows of wheat-colored sweaty shoulders and bulging strong chest muscles made Xia Qiu's eyes white, and he subconsciously swallowed his saliva. Terrible!

Lu Tingxiu didn't say anything, but he saw her frivolous demeanor in his eyes. He stretched out his big hand, and his five claws directly covered Xia Qiu's facial features, and gently pushed back.

Xia Qiu's body fell and fell back into the carriage.

Disappointed, he didn't have it, and he didn't allow her to peek twice?

When Xia Qiu got up, Lu Tingxiu had already walked to the river beach with the supervisor and discussed with Mr. Li, the craftsman who designed the stone bridge.

Xia Qiu found a high ground, blowing the mountain breeze to see the mighty and majestic man, and from time to time he peeked at Lu Tingxiu. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that the man in white next to him, who was in his early twenties and was weak, was actually Mr. Li, a bridge master who became famous at a young age.

The steep road in the southwest mountain is not passable, and many places use bridges instead of roads. Different from Pingchuan, the southwest mountain geology is complex, the bridge construction is difficult, the southwest Li family is unique, and five or six out of ten in the southwest are from the hands of the Li family.

Mr. is handsome, better than a woman, and I see pity when the weak willow helps the wind. Xia Qiu couldn't help but think of Lu Tingxiu's weak and helpless but stubborn appearance when he first saw him, and couldn't help but smirk.

Far away in the wooden shed on the river beach, Lu Tingxiu's eyelids jumped, he faintly noticed Xia Qiu's presumptuous gaze, and his heart became more and more unhappy.

Damn it! He wanted to swear.

There were many problems in the progress of the bridge, and Lu Tingxiu discussed with Mr. Li for more than an hour to implement it, but who knew that the climate in the mountains was changing, and there was a storm in the blink of an eye.

The laborers went to the foot of the mountain to take shelter from the rain, and Lu Tingxiu took an umbrella to return to the carriage, but Xia Qiu was not there at all.

The rain could not stop for a while, and he returned to the wooden shed to continue his discussion with the overseer, and his mind was faintly uneasy.

The rainstorm came suddenly, and it was too late to go down the mountain in summer and autumn, but fortunately I was lucky enough to find a cave to shelter from the rain.

The torrential rain continued, the water level continued to rise, and Xia Qiu stood at the mouth of the cave for a long time, but the rain did not stop.

"Ah......" In the torrential rain, there was a sudden cry of pain.

Heavy rain is dangerous, Xia Qiu hesitated a little but did not move, who knew that the sound of staggering footsteps was getting closer and closer.

Not long after, a man dressed in white walked into the cave in embarrassment. Seeing that there were people in the cave, the man was a little surprised, and then saluted and said, "This brother Tai, I'm bothered." ”

Xia Qiu was surprised, "Why did Mr. Li come up?" ”

"You know me?" Li Jingxuan was stunned.

"Mr. is a leader in bridge design, and his reputation is like thunder, and I don't know anyone in the world."

The craftsman lived in a shallow way, and Xia Qiu's straightforward praise made him blush, "Brother...... Brother Tai Fallacy...... Falsely praised. ”

It doesn't matter if she looks at it, no matter how much Li Jingxuan contacts people or not, she can see that she is a woman dressed as a man. It's not that he has fiery eyes, but that Xia Qiu is wet, and the woman's figure is undoubtedly prominent.

Soon, he discovers an even more fatal problem, and he gets wetter even more. He was wearing a white coat, although there were three layers inside, but they were all silk fabrics, thin and comfortable. I usually can't see anything, but I can't see it at a glance when it meets the water.

Li Jingxuan was embarrassed, and hurriedly squatted down to cover the important parts.

This movement was not tight, Gangwei's foot hurt so badly that he didn't squat down and fell directly to the ground, his face turned blue in pain.

Even if it hurts, it coughs badly.

"Are you sick?" Xia Qiu frowned slightly.

Li Jingxuan was surprised: "How did Brother Tai know? ”

"I know a little about medicine, and listening to your wheezing and coughing, I must be suffering from heart disease."

Li Jingxuan's face was full of admiration, "Brother Tai is a good doctor, and he didn't know that I had a heart disease before he took the pulse." ”

"You have such a serious heart disease, why do you still brave the rain to climb the mountain, not afraid of danger?" Once the heart is overloaded, he may faint at any time, and the heavy rain is changeable, which is really long.

Li Jingxuan's face was pale, and he coughed from time to time, "When I designed this bridge, I took flooding into account, but after all, it was only on paper. The mountainous terrain of Phoenix Mountain is complex and the weather is changeable, and I was worried that the design would be different from the reality, so I thought about taking advantage of the rainstorm to come up to a high place to survey the overall topography. This bridge is the most important thing on the post road, and there is no room for error...... Cough...... Ahem...... It's a pity that I broke my foot, and I'm afraid I won't be able to reach the top. ”

Looking at his half-dead appearance, most likely he had a heart attack.

Afraid of accidents when going out, Xia Qiu learned to be smart, and carried medicine and silver needles with him. If Li Jingxuan is okay, she is not willing to show off her medical skills, but it is about the bridge of Phoenix Mountain, and there is no room for any mistakes, otherwise Lu Tingxiu will have to take the blame in the end.

Xia Qiu poured out a heart-saving pill and gave it to him, "This medicine is good for you." ”

Li Jingxuan did not suspect that there was a fake, and swallowed it directly.

This made Xia Qiu wonder, "You and I meet in the water, aren't you afraid that I have another purpose?" ”

Li Jingxuan panted, "You came in the same car with Lu Xianling, and I happened to see it when I got out of the car." ”

No wonder she was so relieved, it turned out that she trusted Lu Tingxiu's character.

In this case, naturally he can't let him live up to this trust. Xia Qiu crouched down to observe his swollen left foot and reached for his pants.

The "male ......" men and women did not kiss, and Li Jingxuan retracted his feet in embarrassment.

"Are you afraid of pain?" By the nature of a doctor, Xia Qiu didn't care too much, and directly grabbed his foot and took off his shoes, touching his ankle, "It's okay, it's just a dislocation." ”

Li Jingxuan's face was crimson, and he didn't even dare to breathe.
