Liu Xing has always been stubborn, insisting on his own opinions, and rarely listening to the opinions of others, but under Li Tong's questioning, he was stunned, probably no one dared to say these words in front of him, and he couldn't refute Li Tong for a while.

The atmosphere was even more frozen than before, and Li Tong's small man stood in front of Bai Li Ye, as if he had blocked the malice from all over the world for him.

Bai Li Ye only felt that there was a fire burning in his chest, which was getting more and more intense, and the hot temperature swam to the limbs, burning his whole person into ashes from the inside out, and then it was put together inch by inch, and it condensed into one again.

"Madame......"

He muttered in a low voice, but he didn't know what to say in the second half of the sentence, just called softly, chewing the two words between his teeth, with the sweetness and restraint that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

"Don't be afraid, I don't believe I can't cure him."

Li Tong rolled up her sleeves and was eager to try, as if as long as Liu Xing made other moves, she could immediately smash his fist in the face, just like when she hit Baili Ye.

No, heavier.

Bai Li Ye pulled the corners of his mouth and nodded.

"...... you" Li Tong pointed at Liu Xing, and was just about to open his mouth to spit out a string of human sayings prepared in his stomach, but was gently blocked by Qiu Zhongxiao, Li Tong turned his head dissatisfied: "What are you going to do?" ”

Qiu Zhongxiao touched his nose: "Ah, shouldn't we focus on the cause of death of Master Cui and Mr. Cen now?" As for the rest, a few of you can handle it privately, right? ”

Li Tong scratched his head and glanced back at Baili Ye, as if this meant right.

Forget it, let him go.

"So how did Mr. Cen die?"

"I was stabbed to death with a knife, the murder weapon was a knife, and the murder weapon was not found at the scene, so I guessed that the murderer took it away. Mr. Cen's killer seems to have a strong grudge against Mr. Cent, and did not let him die with a knife, and the rest of the wounds on his body were mostly to vent his anger, and the deadliest one was in the neck. ”

"Cut your throat?"

Qiu Zhongxiao nodded: "The other party started neatly, guessing that he was a person who knew martial arts, Mr. Cen did not resist in the slightest, judging from the path of blood spilling, Mr. Cen was taken to the back door by the little girl, met the murderer at the back door, was chased by the murderer and cut all the way, and the last knife, Mr. Cen failed to dodge." ”

Li Tong tilted his head: "He can't hide, the murderer is clearly teasing, if the murderer has a grudge against Mr. Cen, wouldn't it be clear to investigate in this regard?" ”

"But people who know Mr. Cen say that Mr. Cen has no enemies."

"Mr. Cen does have a good temper, what about the guy who led Mr. Cen to the back door?"

Qiu Zhongxiao looked at Bai Li Ye with a smile, and then his eyes fell on Li Tong's face, and said, "The little guy said that it was Master Cui who wanted to see him." ”

Li Tong's eyes widened, and she subconsciously wanted to turn her head to see Bai Li Ye's reaction, but her palms were clenched tightly, her nails poked in her palms, and the pain made her control herself.

"I ...... I never knew that Mr. Cen was familiar with Master Cui. ”

Liu Xing was shocked after being questioned by Li Tong just now, and his face had returned to normal at this time, but his eyes became more and more sharp when he looked at Li Tong.

"Madame doesn't know that Mr. Cen is familiar with Master Cui?"

"I don't know, Mr. Cen never mentioned it."

"Then dare to ask Madame, why did you ask Mr. Cen to deal with the affairs of the academy in the first place, knowing that he is just a carpenter?"

"It was recommended by a maid in the house."

"Where is the maid now?"

Li Tong bit his lower lip and thought hard: "It should still be in the house." ”

"Can you send someone to come and ask this maid?"

"Naturally."

Li Tong replied, but her heart seemed to turn over a huge wave, she only felt that there seemed to be a web that was overwhelmingly attacking her, and at the end of the web was a spider that was eyeing her, and as soon as the spider's legs were on which line, she had to flee to the other side, so tired of running, but still couldn't escape the shackles of the spider.

Wherever the spider wanted her to run, she had to run.

The man who had sent him soon returned, but he went alone and came back alone, and did not bring back the maid.

"Where's the maid?" Li Tong looked more nervous than anyone present.

The official said respectfully: "Back to my lords, the maid is gone." Vinegar - the first release of the literature of the children!

"Gone? How could it be gone? Li Tong clenched his palms to save himself from gaffes.

Qiu Zhongxiao was silent for a while, and then said with a light smile: "It seems that Madame has fallen into the trap." ”

"In this way, that Cen You is indeed not as kind as it seems on the surface, at least there is a purpose for entering Qiyang Academy." Liu Wei added it in due course.

Li Tong seemed to have been hit, his body staggered, and he couldn't help but take a step back, just leaning into Bai Li Ye's arms.

She hung her head, her eyes were slightly red, as if she had made a real mistake, her fists clenched and clenched, clenched and clenched, raised her hand and pressed the corner of her eye, and turned her head away.

Li Tong really had nothing to say to Cen You, he didn't dislike him for being a carpenter, nor did he dislike his lowly status, and even entrusted him with a heavy task to hand over Qiyang Academy to him, and at the beginning, he generously gave him a sum of silver, in order to prevent accidents in the academy.

But I never thought that such trust would be exchanged for selfishness and betrayal.

It is normal for Li Tong to not accept it for a while, for Liu Xing, who has just been scolded, it should be refreshing, but at this time, looking at Li Tong's little heart hurt, there is also a lot of unbearable in his eyebrows.

"Madam, do you want to go and see Mr. Cen's corpse?" Qiu Zhongxiao was afraid that the matter would not be big, so he still proposed on the side.

Liu Xing frowned slightly: "Don't let Mrs. see the corpse, but only those few wounds, so as not to have nightmares at night." ”

Li Tong raised his head in shock and looked at Liu Xing with teary eyes.

Liu Xing blinked a little helplessly, coughed lightly, and said, "Let's find out what the relationship between Master Cui and Cen You is first, right?" ”

Regarding Liu Xing's sudden kindness, Li Tong accepted incompetence, but Bai Li Ye was a little jealous, and he was not even good at facial expressions, in order to show ownership, he hugged Li Tong's shoulders tightly, Liu Xing choked and tilted his head.

The atmosphere became weird again in an instant, Liu Wei and Qiu Zhongxiao, who didn't think much of a big deal to see the excitement, glanced at each other, smiled at each other, and expressed tacit understanding.

The official who was ordered to search the Cui Mansion suddenly came to report, saying that he had found a secret room in Cui Shouzhi's study in the Cui Mansion, and found some things in the secret room, there were too many things, and they couldn't all move to the mansion at once, so they had been surrounded by people, and now they asked a few adults to go over and see the specific situation.

Of course, Li Tong doesn't want to miss this kind of good show.

She glanced at Baili Ye unintentionally, only to see that the man did not squint, and he had a tall posture that was not afraid of the shadow, Li Tong pursed his lips and secretly cursed a dog man.

Then, her gaze crossed Bai Li Ye's side and fell on Liu Xing, who strode past them.

As if sensing Li Tong's gaze, Liu Xing tilted his head, Li Tong hurriedly withdrew his gaze and touched his nose in embarrassment, as if he had made some small movements and was discovered.

Li Tong just retracted her head, only to feel a cold air on her head, she raised her head slightly, and saw Bai Li Ye's hellish gaze glued to her Heavenly Spirit Cover, as if as long as she retracted her attention one second later, her Heavenly Spirit Cover could be twisted away.

"Madame can't look at other men like that." Bai Li Ye bent down, his thin lips touching the tips of Li Tong's ears intentionally or unintentionally, cold and impliedly threatening.

In order to save his life, Li Tong nodded again and again.

Because Cui Shouzhi died unexpectedly, Cui Mansion has begun to prepare for the future, the festive red lantern at the door has been replaced with white, and the white flags in the courtyard have also been hung.

After a quick examination, the body had been stitched back and was lying in a coffin in the main hall.

"It's pretty fast." Li Tong muttered.

Qiu Zhongxiao didn't know when he came up behind her, and said in a low voice: "After all, there is an official position." ”

Well, it's still a scholar, a minister.

Li Tong pursed her lips, and then saw Bai Li Ye holding her shoulder, away from Qiu Zhongxiao, who always looked like he had bad intentions.

"Do I look like someone who has thoughts about the General's wife?" Qiu Zhongxiao touched his chin and looked at the backs of Li Tong and Bai Li Ye, who were walking into the main hall, and muttered to himself.

Liu Xing stood beside him, looked him up and down, and replied in a low voice: "Hmm." ”

"You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense!" Qiu Zhongxiao hurriedly chased after him.

Cui Shouzhi's study does have a secret room, just behind the bookshelf.

The secret room is not big, but it is complete, and the treasures placed in it are much more valuable than those released outside, and even some of them are not even common in the palace.

The most striking thing is the wooden chest placed in the corner of the secret room.

The box was locked, and after it was split with an axe, the contents were not treasures, but a pile of account books, which can confirm how much benefit Cui Shouzhi has obtained from it since he was the secretary of the Ministry of Industry in the past few years, and several of them are Cen You.

The evidence really appeared in front of everyone, which proved conclusively that Cui Shouzhi and Cen You did have ulterior motives.

And Cen You's death was also accurately led to Cui Shouzhi.

But Liu Xing didn't have the pleasure of solving the case, only frowned, searching for something in the secret room over and over again, intending to find clues that did not belong to this secret room.

But, alas, no.

Liu Xing looked at Bai Li Ye, who was leading Li Tong to the entrance of the secret room, the heart beating in his chest went from hot to gentle, and finally he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Unwilling!

This step-by-step evidence is as if someone else put it in the palm of his hand, making him an accomplice little by little.

Qiu Zhongxiao walked over at some point, stretched out his hand to put his hand on his shoulder, and said softly: "Heavenly reason is clear, retribution is not happy, it's just that the time has not yet come, Lord Liu is not anxious." ”
