Chapter 114: I don't know
The night was dark, and there was a dead silence in Xilin City, Li Zhilian quietly walked through the street, came to the door of a pharmacy, jumped on the wall, and disappeared into the night
The door in the backyard squeaked open, and a middle-aged man in the room, lit an oil lamp, looked at her with a frightened face
Li Zhilian quickly put a knife to his mouth: "Don't shout ......"
The middle-aged man gasped and nodded.
Li Zhilian slapped him on the face a few times with the back of his knife: "Where are those herbs sent by the ginseng pickers?" ”
The middle-aged man looked at her with a frightened expression: "You...... How do you know? ”
The knife in Li Zhilian's hand slowly slid from the middle-aged man's face to his neck
The middle-aged man's legs trembled, he fell to his knees with a thud, and stammered, "I...... I'll take you to ......"
The middle-aged man led her to the edge of a cabinet and removed it, where all kinds of herbs were neatly arranged
Li Zhilian said softly: "I bought all of these, and I borrowed your place overnight."
The middle-aged man nodded violently and said, "You~ You are free to ......"
Li Zhilian said: "You go outside to guard, if you dare to leave the room one step, I will feed you these herbs the same."
The middle-aged man threw himself on the ground and kept nodding
Early in the morning, Li Zhilian put on a cloak, walked out of the pharmacy quickly, dodged into a remote inn, changed his cloak, and then swaggered to buy some food on the street, and then returned to the inn
After a while, there was a soft sound outside the inn, and Li Zhilian looked around strangely, the speed of the Xiao family was so fast?
"Your Highness~ is my ......," Shu Yihuan shouted outside the door
Li Zhilian walked to the door, opened the door and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
Shu Yihuan quickly glanced around the house, and her eyes fell on her: "You are wandering around the street so swaggeringly, don't you just want to tell those people outside that you are here?"
Li Zhilian: "Hmm" and nodded: "So...... What are you doing here? ”
"My father is dead"
Li Zhilian exclaimed: "When did it happen?" ”
"When I went back last night, I found him dead in the study!" Shu Yihuan stretched out his hand and stroked on his neck: "There was a knife here, and there was blood all over the ground."
Li Zhilian frowned slightly, and asked, "Then you came to me?" ”
Shu Yihuan looked at her quietly: "I know what you want to do"
Li Zhipian said: "So you want to take revenge?" ”
Shu Yihuan nodded and said, "Yes~"
Li Zhilian smiled: "You can think about it!" If you make them enemies, you will not be able to live in peace in this life unless you can uproot them. ”
Shu Yihuan said: "As long as I can avenge my father"
Li Zhilian raised her eyes and glanced at Shu Yihuan, but decided not to say it, it just so happened that she was just lacking a helper now, and the labor force sent to the door should not be in vain
Shu Yihuan poured himself a cup of tea and asked, "Will they really come?" ”
Li Zhilian smiled indifferently: "It depends on whether the things in my hands are important to them."
In the dark alley, dozens of black-clothed people rushed all the way, and the black-clothed people led by them waved their hands, and everyone stopped
The black-clothed man led by him divided his men into three groups and rushed towards the inn
Li Zhilian stood up: "Stay away from me for a while, I have poisonous ...... on my body"
Shu Yihuan glanced at her and stared at the door tightly
The footsteps got closer and closer, and with a "bang", a sword stabbed in through the door, the doorknob was bounced open, and with a "bang", the door, window, and roof cracked, emitting a burst of white mist, and the man in black fell to the ground
Li Zhilian took Shu Yihuan's hand and jumped downstairs, and the remaining people in black instantly surrounded them
Shu Yihuan rushed forward first, the sword in his hand turned rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, most of the dozen black clothes had been cut by him
There was only one last person left on Li Zhilian's side, and the eyes of the man in black flashed with fear
Li Zhipian looked at the guard and said coldly: "Your Xiao family is nothing more than that."
The man in black trembled, not saying a word
Li Zhilian continued: "I guess...... Your identity should be the cave master, and there is a sign on your left arm~"
The man in black exclaimed, "How would you know? ”
Li Zhilian turned his wrist and removed the left hand of the man in black: "Go back and tell your master, my name is Li Zhilian, and I still have many secrets on me that you can't imagine."
The man in black covered his arm: "You won't kill me?" ”
Li Zhipian said: "Kill you, who will help me lure out the people in your family"
Shu Yihuan took a deep breath: "It's dangerous for you to do this"
Li Zhilian looked at him for a long time before he smiled and said, "Shen Zhitang will be here in the afternoon!" I've got to clean up the rats in Westlin."
Shu Yihuan was stunned: "I'll help you"
Li Zhilian said: "Your father has just left, you should go back to guard his spirit first!" ”
"If the great revenge is not avenged, even if I kneel before his spirit for seven days and seven nights, he will not live in peace"
Li Zhipian looked at him: "Have you ever thought that Master Shu was killed by someone?"
Shu Yihuan looked at her puzzled
Li Zhilian continued: "I mean, according to my understanding of the Xiao family, if they attack, it can't be as simple as killing your father, is it possible that he was killed because he helped someone do something he shouldn't do?" ”
Shu Yihuan said: "You mean, the person who went out of the city?" ”
Li Zhilian nodded
Shu Yihuan hurriedly said: "I'll go home and check if my father has left any clues."
Li Zhilian pondered for a while: "I'll go back with you"
When the patrolling soldiers arrived at the alley, Li Zhilian and Shu Yihuan had already left
Spiriting flags were hung in front of the prefect's gate, and the people spontaneously stood in two rows in front of the gate
Li Zhipian said: "Your father is a good official......
Shu Yihuan turned his face away and nodded with red eyes
Sima Deng, who was staying at the door, was stunned, and quickly walked out and said, "Her Royal Highness the Princess~"
Li Zhilian waved his hand: "You go get busy first!" ”
Sima bent over and left: "Yes~"
Shu Yihuan led her to the mourning hall in the backyard, Li Zhilian held three pillars of incense and inserted it into the incense burner, and Mrs. Shu led the whole family to kneel on the ground and buckle their heads and salute: "Your Royal Highness Princess Xie"
Li Zhilian waved his hand to them and slowly walked to Mrs. Shu: "Madame, get up and speak!" ”
Mrs. Shu stood up and wiped the tears from her face: "Her Royal Highness Princess Xie"
Li Zhilian asked: "Is there anything unusual about Master Shu recently?"
Mrs. Shu raised her head and glanced at Shu Yihuan: "He is indeed a little strange recently, often entertaining a businessman from Lining City"
Li Zhilian: "Hmm~" and continued to ask: "But the one who lived in the backyard a few days ago?" ”
Mrs. Shu quickly raised her eyes and glanced at her, bowing her head in contemplation
Shu Yihuan walked up to Mrs. Shu and said in a low voice: "Mother~ Did you let your father die so innocently?" ”
Mrs. Shu glanced at Shu Yihuan deeply, turned her head, and stopped talking
Li Zhipian said: "Master Shu is dead, I will not pursue anything he did before his death."
Mrs. Shu trembled a little and said: "I actually don't know very well, when the businessman came, he was entertained by the streamer himself, he only said that it was entrusted by the old man, and the teacher went out of the same family, so it was not easy to refuse."
Li Zhilian frowned: "Who did Master Shu learn from?" ”
Shu Yihuan said: "Shen Zhitang, Lord Shen ......"
Li Zhilian was taken aback and took a step back: "Li Jianqing? ”
Mrs. Shu said: "Lord Shen is full of peach and plums all over the world, and Li Gongzi is not the only one under the door."
Li Zhilian breathed a sigh of relief: "How many times has that merchant come?" Do you go out of town every time? ”
Mrs. Shu and Shu Yihuan glanced at each other: "A few days ago was the third time, and I didn't know if I was a concubine out of the city."
Li Zhilian nodded: "I know, you guys go get busy first!" ”
