"She's been dead for twenty years, and the truth is still unclear, what qualifications do you have to stop me?"

Lu Qingyi's face was gloomy, he thought that his father would change his attitude towards him, but he obviously knew the grievances between him and Mrs. Ru, and also understood what kind of person Mrs. Ru was, but he still kept her by his side, that's all, why did he interfere in his investigation of the case?

"It is for your good to be a father, if you insist on investigating, you will inevitably offend those who cannot be offended, and do you think you will end up well? Don't find out the truth, put your life into it, it's not worth it. ”

Lu's father hated Lu Qingyi because iron could not become steel, and his mother's death was not such a simple matter at the beginning, so he has been ignoring it for so many years, because even if the truth is found, the other party is also a person they can't shake.

Lu Qingyi smiled bitterly, "Since my father said so, you must have guessed who the murderer was." ”

As soon as these words came out, Father Lu suddenly panicked, "How can I know who the murderer is, it's just random speculation." It's been so many years since your mother died, and now that you're older, you should do something serious instead of worrying about her business all day. ”

"I don't care who the murderer is, I will find her out and bring her to justice." Lu Qingyi said very firmly, he can't choose to bow his head because the other party is strong, he chooses to cover up the truth of the matter, he has always believed that there will be a day when the truth will be revealed.

Father Lu looked at Lu Qingyi helplessly, "Your temper is as stubborn as your mother's, and you refuse to listen to what you say." He didn't listen to Lu Qingyi, so he had to sigh slightly, "The murderer is powerful, and you and the third prince can't be defeated by yourself alone." ”

After that, Father Lu took advantage of the night to leave.

Lu Qingyi looked at his father's back, and he couldn't tell whether he was sad or sad.

Liu Congwen would go to Shen Xi's bookstore every day to sit for a while during this time, but he never mentioned that he wanted to eat with Lu Qingyi, and every time Shen Xi wanted to ask Fu Chuan to call Lu Qingyi, he was also stopped by him.

"If you call Lu Gongzi, I won't come to your store in the future." Lu Qingyi drank the tea made by Shen Xi and flipped through the books he brought, his voice was not cold.

Shen Xi looked embarrassed, "Then what's the matter with you coming to my store every day now?" And you still have your own book, and it doesn't cost a tael of silver, and the tea is about to drink a lot of silver taels. ”

"I'm just here to pass the time these days. I'll pay you for the tea, but you're not very good at making tea. Liu didn't raise his head from beginning to end, and at the end he didn't forget to complain that Shen Xi's skills in making tea were not good.

"It's a serious thing to come here to read and communicate, it's already good to have tea to drink, and you're so picky about what to do." Shen Xi rolled his eyes and continued to work on his own, and Liu Congwen read the book leisurely by himself.

Shen Xi looked at Liu Congwen on the side, wondering what he was thinking.

"What kind of broken books are you selling? There are not many words, but there are still a lot of paintings, and I came to see the book and not to see your paintings. I heard a scolding voice coming from somewhere in the bookstore, the voice was rough, and as soon as he said this, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

"What do you see? Isn't it, a book like this is not educational at all, and maybe it will teach bad children. I saw the bearded man tear up the book and throw it aside.

This Shen Xi really couldn't stand it anymore, so he rushed to the bearded man angrily and picked up the book that he had torn up, "Uncle, this book is not expensive, just one or two silver, give the money first!" As he spoke, Shen Xi stretched out his hand to take the money from the bearded man.

"Bah, I need a tael of silver for this broken book, why don't you rob it?" The bearded man relied on his big size, glared at Shen Xi and threatened, "Believe it or not, I smashed your store?" "Fate

Shen Xi smiled, she smiled calmly, "If you think you can go out safely and soundly if you smash my store, I will have your surname." ”

The bearded man looked at Shen Xi, and then at Fu Chuan and Wen Ru behind her, thinking that they were two little white faces, what was he afraid of, "Don't think I dare not smash it." As he spoke, he tore up the books in front of him again.

Fu Chuan originally wanted to make a move, but was stopped by Shen Xi, she was neither brainy nor angry, and looked at the bearded man with a smile in her eyes, "Plus the book you tear up now, it's not much, it's only ten taels of silver." ”

"Ten taels of silver? Lao Tzu just won't give it, see what you can do with me? The bearded man wanted to swagger out as he spoke, but was stopped by Fu Chuan reaching out.

Shen Xi looked at the bearded man, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, "It's okay to leave if you want, lose money." ”

The bearded man was angered by Shen Xi, and when he turned around, he wanted to punch Shen Xi, but he was stopped by Fu Chuan, Fu Chuan held the bearded hand, he was very strong, the bearded man's face had changed, he looked at Fu Chuan in pain, and couldn't say a word.

"It's up to you to lose money or break your hands." Shen Xi walked up to the bearded man and smiled.

"Lose money, lose money." The bearded man looked at Fu Chuan in horror as he took out money with his other hand and gave it to Shen Xi.

Shen Xi took the silver two and approached the bearded, "You can dislike my book, because there are other people who like it, but you can't damage my book, if there is a next time, just cut off your hand." ”

"Yes, yes, don't dare next time." The bearded man looked at Fu Chuan as if begging for mercy, if he tried harder, his hand would really be broken.

Shen Xi waved his hand, "Let him go!" ”

Only then did Fu Chuan let go, and the bearded man ran away as if he were running away.

Liu Congwen has been watching leisurely from the side, and she has watched Shen Xi's attitude towards handling things compared to when he was handling the case.

"It seems that not everyone likes your book." He walked up to Shen Xi, said lightly, and flipped through it casually.

"I never force everyone to like my books." Shen Xi glanced at Liu Congwen, "You looked at me like a play just now, don't you think you should take care of it?" ”

"This kind of trivial matter is not within my jurisdiction, and you don't handle it very well." Liu Congwen's eyes were full of praise for Shen Xi, she did have a different temperament from others.

"You are too idle as an official, you eat public food every month, but you just grow flowers and plants in your own house, which is really comfortable." Shen Xi looked at Liu Congwen, thinking that being an official should be like Liu Congwen.

"What I'm doing is gambling with my life, do you really think it's like those ministers, who go to the last morning court every day and sit in the public court?" Liu Congwen solved the case, and it was all strange cases, cases that caused a sensation across the country, and naturally there were many people who offended, and he had escaped death many times.

Besides, in his position, he is not busy, but he is more favored by the emperor.

Shen Xi looked at Liu Congwen and sighed, "The safety of me, a common man, depends on you." ”
