Li Xu's whole person was like a piece of jade, and the expression on his face was very warm.

In comparison, Song Chengxuan's eyes were sharp, and there was an unapproachable coldness all over his body.

Xu Changting had never seen Li Xu and Song Chengxuan before, but now the two of them were standing in front of them, and when they were cold and hot, they had a feeling of intimacy and separation.

What Li Xu said was polite enough, but Zhou Yue still felt that Song Chengxuan would refuse, although they had known this person for a long time, but this one never gave anyone face.

But what he didn't expect was that Song Chengxuan turned around and looked at the compartment next to him: "Then go here!" ”

This is the meaning of promise.

Zhou Yue was surprised.

Several people walked into the cubicle one after another and sat down.

After the guy served the hot tea, he closed the door to the cubicle.

Li Changyan said: "Where does this Lord Song serve?" ”

Li Xu knew that Song Chengxuan didn't like to talk, so he smiled and said, "Lord Song is a Quanzhou envoy. ”

Li Changyan immediately said: "It's really amazing to be young. ”

Song Chengxuan had no intention of greeting and looked at Li Xu: "What does Gongzi Li want to say to Song?" ”

Li Changyan couldn't help frowning, this Lord Song was really as difficult to get along with as he seemed on the surface.

Originally, it was a father and son meeting, but now the atmosphere in the room is a little awkward when there is one more person, Li Changyan looked at Li Xu, and the next person brought back the news that Brother Xu entered Beijing today, and he and Master Xu Wu immediately rushed over, just to stop Li Xu and ask how those cases were inspected, for fear that Brother Xu was young and reckless, if he lost face in the Criminal Department, how would he enter the office in the future, who knew that he had not had time to say it......

"Lord Song, I have something I want you to help me see." Li Xu took out a piece of black and handed it to Song Chengxuan.

Song Chengxuan took it in his hand, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, and his eyes moved.

Li Xu said: "Wang Yun once served in Huangzhou, I went to investigate the cases that Wang Yun had handled in the past, and asked many local people, and the people all praised Wang Yun, Wang Yun has accumulated a lot of reputation for himself over the years, and there are no flaws in the case files recorded by the government government.

Until one day an old woman came to look for me, asked me to help find her son, her son went out to chop wood, never came back, this case was reported to Wang Yun, Wang Yun also sent someone to look for him in the left near but found nothing, the old woman's son often went out to be a porter, a month out, the people of the yamen thought that the son went out and forgot to tell the old woman, but this matter has been a year, the son has not been traced, in short, the case is finally closed. ”

Li Xu took a sip of tea and moistened his throat and continued: "How can a big living person be gone, you can't live without seeing people and dead without seeing corpses, when I was puzzled, someone sent me something, this is it." ”

Li Changyan didn't understand what his son was talking about: "What is this?" ”

Li Xu looked at Song Chengxuan.

Song Chengxuan put the things in his hand on the table: "It's silver, silver soaked in seawater." ”

Li Xu nodded: "Lord Song should be surprised by things in Quanzhou, I thought about it for a long time to get such an answer." ”

"Why do you want to soak the silver in the sea," Xu Changting said here and suddenly thought, "Could it be smuggling silver?" ”

Silver is forbidden to be bought and sold by the imperial court, the price of silver in the Wa Kingdom and other places is low, and many merchants privately bring silver ashore, causing a temporary chaos in the market price of silver in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the imperial court also began to implement a sea ban.

Da Zhou was convicted of smuggling quite heavily, and some businessmen would rather sink the silver to the bottom of the sea when they saw that the situation was not good, so the silver soaked in the sea water made people immediately think of smuggling.

Song Chengxuan said: "Can you find cases related to smuggling in the cases that Wang Yun has handled?" ”

Li Xu's jaw: "Huizhou found a businessman who made a living from smuggling, this businessman fled back to his ancestral hometown of Huangzhou, and was arrested and imprisoned by Wang Yun, Wang Yun wanted to send people back to Huizhou after he was caught, but this kind of important case should escort the prisoner to the prison of the Criminal Department for trial, to avoid wasting time back and forth, after the people of Huizhou government confirmed the identity of the businessman, Wang Yun sent someone to escort him into Beijing, who knew that the day before leaving for the capital, the person killed himself in the prison. ”

Song Chengxuan said: "Is the figure of the prisoner similar to that of the old woman's son?" ”

This is what Li Xu wanted to say: "Similarly, I suspect that Wang Yun used the means of transferring flowers and trees to take the merchant for his own use, so I hurriedly returned to Beijing to inquire about the case." ”

If all this is true and Wang Yun is arrested, then where is Shangjia.

Li Xu pondered: "If this person is really at large, I don't know what he has been doing for Wang Yun all these years. ”

After Li Xu finished speaking, he said: "Hearing Lord Song say this, I feel more and more that my thinking is correct. ”

"These were found out by Li Gongzi, and they have nothing to do with Song," Song Chengxuan stood up, as if he was about to say goodbye and leave, "Then the merchant was arrested, why did he flee back to his ancestral hometown?" Isn't it self-defeating? ”

Li Xu said: "I also think it's very strange. ”

Song Chengxuan's eyes swept sharply from Li Xu's face: "Li Gongzi already has the answer in his heart, and now when he mentions these things in front of Song, do you want Song to overcome obstacles for you?" ”

Li Xu's face was still a kind expression: "How could Lord Song think so. ”

Song Chengxuan seemed to remember: "I forgot, Li Gongzi has no official position, if Fang Cai's speculation is reported to the Criminal Department, it will not only be about Wang Yun, but also questioning the Criminal Department's negligence, so he has offended the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and I am only afraid that his career will not go well in the future." ”

Song Chengxuan's gaze stopped on Li Xu, and the expression on his face was as cold as ice: "Calculating is a good thing, but if you calculate too much, you will get nothing in the end, and not everything can be foolproof." ”

"You," Zhou Yue said, "we talked to you well, but you are so aggressive......"

Before Zhou Yue finished speaking, Song Chengxuan's figure had disappeared in front of everyone.

Li Changyan frowned: "What grievances do you have with him?" ”

Li Xu shook his head: "But he is right, I have no official position, I don't have any weight in my words, I went outside Beijing yesterday, and I haven't been in Beijing to think about this, and I also sent someone to investigate, only to know that Lord Song is here, and I came to meet on purpose." ”

Li Changyan didn't expect his son to think like this: "What are you doing this for?" ”

Li Xu shook his head: "I am soft-spoken, but Song Chengxuan is different, if he can investigate the case, this case will be solved faster, and the Anyi Hou Mansion will be less dangerous." ”

This time, Xu Changting was surprised: "What does this have to do with the Hou Mansion?" ”

"Relevant," Li Xu said, "I'm afraid that the merchant who didn't die back then, in order to avenge Wang Yun, will attack the Anyi Marquis Mansion, I have heard yesterday that Miss Xu inquired about the case of Second Master Sun, whether Miss Xu will give the murderer a chance outside."

Although I guess this, we should take more precautions.

As long as the case can be solved earlier, nothing else matters. ”

Xu Changting couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart: "Are you familiar with Qing Huan?" ”

Li Xu thought for a while before saying, "Uncle Xu, don't get me wrong, Miss Xu and I have only investigated the case together, and we have no selfish correspondence. ”

Looking at Li Xu, Xu Changting had more good feelings in his heart.

Such an outstanding kid is really likable.

Xu Changting said: "What can you do without an official position, if you want to investigate the case, I will try to help you as much as possible." ”

……

Song Chengxuan returned to the small courtyard where he stayed.

Zhang Zhenren was arguing with Yongye, and Song Chengxuan kept walking straight into the study.

Li Xu came to him to say what he meant by those words, and he knew very well in his heart that Li Xu expected him to intervene in this case.

Second Master Sun is from Huguang, Huangzhou is in Huguang, what does the person who killed Second Master Sun have anything to do with the person Li Xu said?

The murderer killed Second Master Sun, and the next person he wanted to kill seemed to be Second Mrs. Sun, in case this was a move to attack the West......

Did Xu Qinghuan make arrangements for catching the murderer?

The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind.

But what does this have to do with him?

Song Chengxuan picked up a book and looked at it, there was no wave on his face, as if he had calmed down.
