Li Xu is a very handsome man, even if he is wearing an ordinary green shirt, he looks heroic.

His eyebrows are very long, his eyes are extraordinarily bright, as if he has just been washed with water, and his long and slightly thin figure is a good physique, which makes him kill the enemy in front of the battle, often without disadvantage, and few people can stand out.

Maybe it was because it was raining outside, he came in with a little damp breath, and his robe was a little cool, which made his whole person a little foggy, like a freshly blurred ink, which was obviously in front of him, but it made people unclear and unpredictable.

Li Xu looked at her calmly, Qing Huan smiled in her heart, why was she afraid of his gaze.

It's not the first time Li Xu has seen Miss Xu.

The last time Sun Chong arrested Tan Da, she unexpectedly met Miss Xu, and her clear and agile eyes suddenly became as silent and indifferent as an ancient well after seeing him, as if there were many emotions suppressed in it, and people couldn't help but want to explore one or two.

Now she had changed again, her expression was natural, as if she was looking at a flower and a tree, and soon she lost interest and looked away lightly.

If it weren't for his good memory, he would have suspected that he had read it wrong last time.

He had already seen her neat methods, and he could tell from them that she was smart, and what she was thinking about such a person would not be able to understand after a mask or two.

Li Xu was not prepared to dwell on this matter.

At this moment, the Marquis of Anyi, like him, wants to know the truth of this case, as long as the case is investigated, they will part ways after that, as long as it does not hinder the overall situation, there is no need to investigate deeply.

"The prefect is here, can anyone come casually?" Xu Qingan's face was already in front of Xu Qinghuan, and he looked at Zhou Yue with fierce eyes, and Zhou Yue shrank back and took a step back.

Li Xu just smiled indifferently and stepped forward to salute Wang Yun.

Wang Yun said with a smile: "Li Jiajiulang is not an outsider, if your parents, the official Su Huai's case, hadn't met him, I'm afraid there would be no chance to go to Beijing for a retrial." ”

Li Xu said: "I'm afraid that even if Lord Su's case is retried, there will be no result." ”

Wang Yun couldn't help but be surprised, after Su Huai was imprisoned, Zhou Yue introduced Li Xu to him, and finally let Su Huai get the opportunity to be retried, it stands to reason that Li Xu should do the rest of the things step by step, but for some reason, Li Xu changed his original intention and stayed in Fengxiang instead of leaving for the capital.

Wang Yundao: "Haven't you already calculated Fengxiang's taxes in recent years, as long as you check with the household department to understand, Su Huai's crime will be self-defeating." ”

Li Xu's eyes were calm, and his inky dark eyes reflected the lamps and candles on the table, as if all the light was contained in it: "Things seem to be like this, but if you think about it carefully, it is not so. ”

Li Xu's words aroused Wang Yun's interest: "Oh, what's the problem? ”

Li Xu said: "Lord Su is an example of a 'loyal and upright' minister, even if someone wants to frame him, he should not use such a clumsy method, and the court is also secretive about this matter, as if there is a shady inside story, the emperor has personally criticized and reprimanded Lord Su twice, if it is not for the old ministers of the court to stop him, he has ordered Lord Su to correct the law on the spot."

Such anger of the Son of Heaven would never be for the sake of greedy ink, and I conclude that greedy for ink is only superficial. ”

Wang Yun said: "According to what you say, Su Huai is accused of another crime?" In that case, why should the court cover it up? ”

Li Xu said: "What if it is about the face of the emperor? I have been ignoring one thing, after Lord Su Huai was arrested by the imperial court, he defended himself, until the secret envoy came to the capital for interrogation, Lord Su Huai became silent, and when the Lord left Fengxiang and was pressed to the capital, he finally kept muttering the word 'tax silver'.

I always thought that Master Su was talking about the tax silver that Feng Xiang handed over to the household department, but now that it is checked, this silver should be clear and correct from the records of the household department, and Feng Xiang will be associated with what "tax silver", that is, the tax silver lost when the rebels invaded Fengxiang.

The traitor Zhao Chong once confessed that someone and he joined forces with him to capture Fengxiang and hid the silver, just waiting for him to make a comeback. The rebels broke the city, and Lord Su led people to resist to the death until all the soldiers around him were killed. Lord Su was also seriously injured, and was finally found by the people from the pile of dead people, leaving a life.

If someone is said to have colluded with the rebels, then the officials who survived that year are not the most suspicious. ”

Li Xu explained very carefully, and strung all the clues together.

Wang Yundao: "These make sense, but what does it have to do with the Cao family's case? ”

Li Xu continued: "Miss Xu believes that there is another person who instructed the murderer to kill Cao Ruwan, one of the reasons should be Cao Ruwan's miserable death, generally speaking, only with a deep hatred can he be so cruel, after the incident, the Cao family's performance in this matter is also very abnormal, and they did not think about investigating it to the end, but are ready to stop it, what will be more important than the life of Miss Cao, the reputation of the second wife Xu and the Cao family, unless the Cao family is afraid that if the investigation continues, it will be more unfavorable to the Cao family, so they would rather cover up the past in a daze."

This makes me even more convinced that the person who killed Cao Ruwan has a grudge against the Cao family, and if this feud is revealed in front of others, it will drag the Cao family into a more dangerous situation. ”

Li Xu said and looked at Xu Qinghuan: "On the surface, the Cao family is famous, and the poetry, books and etiquette heirlooms are impeccable, in fact, there are many things in the Cao family that are strange, Mrs. Cao's second daughter has been sick in bed for many years after the First World War in Fengxiang, and then although she married Xu San, she didn't leave the house, and Cao Si suddenly had a posthumous child, and the origin of this child is unknown." What else does the Cao and Xu families have, Miss Xu should see it more clearly these days. ”

Xu Qinghuan smiled slightly, Li Xu is still so thoughtful, she will not waste any help, her identity, her means have long been taken into account by him.

It's good.

It is better for her to repay the peach, and also count Li Xu as a value, and take what she needs, which is fair.

She wants to find out the facts of the case and can be used, isn't Li Xu the same, now that this sharp blade is in her hand, why don't she play it casually.

Miss Xu's gaze changed slightly, and suddenly deepened a little, making Li Xu seem to see herself in the mirror, but she did not hide her calculations and plans.

Xu Qinghuan said: "If you want to say that the Su Governor's Mansion was safe and sound in the Battle of Fengxiang, it should be suspected, then the Cao family, where almost the entire family survived, is even more worthy of investigation."

The county chronicles record that the rebels searched Cao's house for a day but did not find the secret passage, and the secret passage of the Cao family was so hidden. Since the secret passage is safe, why did the Cao family flee to the gate of the city before the rebels left Fengxiang, and happened to meet the imperial soldiers and horses who came to attack the rebels, and survived under the protection of the imperial court.

If someone understands the battle situation at that time and knows that the imperial court soldiers and horses will enter through the city gate, it will naturally help the Cao family escape, but the Cao family has long lost the news outside in the secret passage, how can the two masters of the Cao family let so many female dependents risk walking through the city, which is completely inconsistent with the Cao family's previous actions of hiding in the secret passage.

How did the Cao family's daughters escape? What secrets is the Cao family hiding?

When the murderer killed Cao Ruwan, the body was facing the two archways of the Cao family, and he was already telling us that there was another secret to what happened back then.

This vengeful man has been waiting for a long time, and now the time is ripe, he can finally do it, not only to avenge himself, but also to make the Cao family lose everything, he knows that the Cao family does not dare to speak out, let alone ask the court to help, but it is not easy to take revenge on the Cao family, because there are too many people inside and outside the Cao family, and he can only have a chance to make the Cao family mess up. ”

Sun Chong shook his head: "I just heard that Mrs. Cao is sick, and the Cao family invited a few Lang Zhong to go to the outpatient clinic for treatment." ”

Wang Yun said: "How can we make the Cao family messy?" ”

Xu Qinghuan was just about to speak, only to hear a bustle outside.

Then Xu Qingshu walked in: "Something happened to the Cao family." ”

Wang Yun's face changed: "What's the matter?" ”

Xu Qingshu has not recovered from the panic until now: "Master Cao and the second master met the murderer in the suburbs, the second master was slashed, and the eldest master was abducted by the murderer. ”

The Cao family had an accident again, and Wang Yun immediately stood up: "Go, go to the Cao family with me to have a look." ”

……

Seeing that the people of the Yamen went to Cao's house.

Xu Qinghuan let Feng Xiao help her into the carriage.

"Miss Xu isn't going to go to Cao's house!" Li Xu's clear voice came from outside the carriage, "Miss Xu's guess about the murderer is right, the Cao family is in chaos, the murderer will take the opportunity to do it, as long as the murderer makes a move, it will leave clues, Miss Xu must have known the murderer's location." ”

Li Xu has already made his position clear, since he belongs to the same people and has the same purpose, he will also help.

But she had no interest in a plate of leftovers, even though she ate the leftovers.

"Let's go!" A woman's crisp voice came from the carriage.

"Alas, why are you ......" Zhou Yue was a little displeased, Li Xu was here to help, but Miss Xu treated them as enemies.

Li Xu didn't care: "There weren't many people who could have dealings with the rebels back then, but Marquis An Yihou was among them. ”

Hearing this, Xu Qing'an, who had already mounted the horse, immediately got off the horse, stepped forward and said to Li Xu: "What did you say?" ”

Li Xu stood there with a smile, without the slightest fear on his face: "Miss Xu will know if you think about it carefully. ”

When my father was dragged into this case, it was difficult that it started here.

Qing Huan opened the curtain, his eyes were indescribably cold, and Zhou Yue next to him shuddered.
