Chapter 193: Beasts Eat People

The atmosphere in the city was mournful and frightened, and there were many people who were panicked and closed-minded, and there were many fewer people who went out.

The city gates are closed, access is inconvenient, there are many guards, and everywhere is restricted.

There were far fewer people on the streets, and every voice that could be heard was talking about yesterday's events: yesterday was a double day, and in the afternoon, both the double day and the afternoon were cloudy, and the superstition was accentuated by the rainy days and wild scenery. Inside and outside the city, the dark clouds are dense, but the mountains and forests are bright and bloody, some people go into the mountains to collect medicine and do not return, and it is rumored that they are devoured by the great burning alive, and some people are fishing in the river, and they are torn apart and eaten by the raccoon dogs. Both of them are yin, water-born, a man and a woman, both have just turned eighteen.

"Don't you dare to come out? Haven't you heard that things have been going on so violently lately? Monsters have appeared one after another, are you a masculine person who doesn't worry about such a disaster?"

"Yes, this business still has to be done, after all, you have to support your family! Those things happened outside the city, it should be fine! As long as this limelight passes, maybe a beast passes through here!"

"Yes, I'm yin, but I'm already past eighteen. As long as the person who caused the murder leaves early, we will still be able to be peaceful and beautiful here!"

There was no progress in the case in the yamen, only the cries of the family members were disturbing. King Hou came a few times, but he was clueless and at a loss. The remnants of the scene and the victims are incomprehensible, and the murderer does not dare to speculate or draw conclusions, so the case has not been closed for a long time.

The next day, the prince and the county commander were still busy and clueless.

Hou Wangfu, Liu Li just came out of Qingling's house, his face was calm and brooding.

Looking at the sky outside, Liu Li sighed: "I don't know what's going on recently, I hope the chaos in the city will get better soon, and I also hope that Qingling's matter will succeed soon!"

Liu Li walked out with steps, thought about the role of the willow, and thought: I'm afraid this thing is going to happen. Miss Nangong really has a heart for that person, and hopes that the two of them can finally become married! It's just that there has been such a thing recently, so wouldn't it be necessary to put this matter on hold for the time being?

Walking out of the backyard, Liu Li saw Feng Xing, only to see him hurrying to report the situation.

"Your Majesty, this matter has not progressed yet, and there are more and more people watching today!"

Liu Li thought for a while, "This matter is quite weird, I'm afraid the prince can't solve it, let's go ask Miss Qu or your benefactor!"

Feng Xing nodded, and was about to go out with Liu Li, but he was stunned. "My benefactor, Your Majesty, why did you suddenly change your name?"

Liu Li smiled without emotion and walked away on his own, leaving Feng Xing with an indifferent back.

Going out, Liu Li inspected the street by the way.

Most of the roads are less populated, and many small streets and alleys are almost untouched, but a place with white smoke has not changed its normal color.

There was a small storefront, and there was no door plaque, only an old red flag, written in Han Li: Thousand Layers Brittle.

"Your Majesty, do you think this store is different?" Feng Xing looked ahead, his heart full of doubts. "The store here is still open, and the customers are not decreasing, maybe it's a little strange!"

Liu Li smiled and strode forward. "If there is something strange, you will know if you try it!"

"Your Majesty, let me try it first!"

"What, are you still afraid that I will be eaten by wild beasts?" Liu Li waved his hand and strode towards the small shop.

Seeing this, Fengxing had no choice but to follow quickly, keeping an eye on the silence of the four times.

When the two of them walked to the door of the store, they happened to be a young man shopping, so they waited for the man to finish his shopping before they stepped forward.

Liu Li looked at the store, then looked at the goods, and asked, "Old man, your store in the city is not less normal, dare to ask why?"

The shopkeeper was a white-haired old man, and replied slowly: "The two of you are outsiders at first glance, and you don't know the rules of my old shop!"

"What are the rules?" asked Liu Li.

"My mille-feuille crisp is from the Western Han Dynasty, which has not changed for hundreds of years, and is also sought after by many customers. We abide by our duties, adhere to authenticity, and also retain the habit of opening the door on a single day. Today is the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, when my store is open, how can I be afraid of rumors and panic?"

Liu Li smiled with satisfaction, smelled the fragrance, and then looked at the crisp appearance of the mille-feuille.

"This thing looks very good, why don't I have a copy. Oh, let's have three portions!

Feng Xing was stunned for a moment, and took out the silver. "Emperor, do we really want to buy it?"

Liu Li smiled unabated, calmly watched the store clean up, and replied in a low voice: "Otherwise, I think it's delicious, you can try it, my vision is very high!"

Before long, the store had already cleaned up, and said with a smile: "Childe can eat as you go, and ensure that the taste will not decrease within a day." I wonder how many pieces you want to break into one serving?"

"Well, how about six pieces?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said to himself, "Okay! Six dollars is just right, most people are four, six or eight, I think six is the best!"

After taking three portions of mille-feuille crispy, Liu Li smiled with satisfaction and handed Fengxing a bag: "Here, you can eat it with lotus seeds!"

Feng Xing took it in a daze, stood in place in shock, and was pulled away by Liu Li again.

"Your Majesty, this?"

Liu Li glanced at Fengxing and thought: Isn't it good for you? Send a bag and see what you do!

"This is a gift I gave to you and Lotus Seed, do you want to refuse? You can't thank each of you for the two of you, so let's get rid of everything!"

"Yes!"

Liu Li smiled softly, his eyes were extremely clear. "This shop is an old store, and it has some folk style, it looks very comfortable, you should like it!"

Before long, the two of them came to Laikexuan, and the mille-feuille in their hands was still hot.

Feng Xing knocked lightly on the door, but found that Xue Ze was not in the house, but it was Lianzi from the next room who opened the door.

Lianzi walked out of her room and looked at the two of them with a smile: "Are you here to find Senior Sister? Senior Sister is here with me, come here!"

Liu Li nodded, pushed Feng Xing in first, and then stepped into the door slowly.

Yukisawa looked at the two of them and got up to greet them. "Come in and sit!"

"Fengxing, you?" Liu Li deliberately teased, "So impatient?

Feng Xing didn't dare to speak, and his expression couldn't be at ease. "No, no!"

"Really, what are you staring at the lotus seed all the time?"

Feng Xing was stunned for a moment, looked at the lotus seeds, and couldn't help but blush. "Lotus Seed, I"

Seeing this, Lianzi was also stunned, and the two looked at each other without saying a word.

Xue Ze smiled knowingly and walked to Liu Li's side, "Since they have something to say, then please move to the next door!"

"Okay!" Liu Li nodded and smiled, followed Xue Ze's steps, and helped Feng Xing and Lianzi close the door before leaving.

Xue Ze asked as he walked: "You seem to have something to say on this trip, but for yesterday's tragedy?"

"That's true, whoever knows me, there is no one better than Xueze!"

Liu Li said this sentence with a playful tone, but Xue Ze heard it in his heart.

"Actually, you know me more!" Xue Ze poured Liu Li a cup of tea, "There are many things, I haven't opened my mouth yet, you have already skipped a lot and bluntly said the next things." It solved a lot of embarrassment for me, but it also made me very ashamed. I know what happened yesterday will worry you, so I did some research!"

Liu Li was speechless for a while, and his heart was full of joy.

"Things are anxious, I'd better say it directly!" Xue Ze took out some things and gave them to Liu Li, "These are what I found when I went to investigate, and from these evidences, the two deceased were killed by fierce beasts." However, these two fierce beasts will not live here, let alone eat people for no reason, this matter is very strange!"

"Then you suspect that it is artificial?"

"Yes, I think it's deliberate. Because even if that fierce beast eats people, it won't leave a trace, let alone let people see it, all this is too deliberate!" Xue Ze sighed, "Pity those two people, they are only eighteen years old! So, you"

Xue Ze was stunned, stared at Liu Li, and asked curiously, "Why are you looking at me like this?"

"Oh, I can hear it, you go on!" Liu Li lowered his head and smiled, completely distracted by the sentence "for you".

"I think this matter is either aimed at you or at me. Therefore, we should join hands with the prince to handle this matter cleanly and perfectly, so that those who have a heart cannot succeed! First of all, we must find out the reason, that is, why it is aimed at you or me!"

Liu Li nodded, "Is it possible that it is aimed at you and me?"

Xue Ze was stunned for a moment, stared at Liu Li and thought about it. Liu Li's face was flushed, and he smiled: "I'm just joking!"

"No, I think you have a point. It's not impossible that we, as decent people, are often designed together. Although my whereabouts are hidden, some people know where the ice crystals are, and they can deduce my whereabouts."

Hearing Xue Ze say this, Liu Li breathed a sigh of relief and tried hard to suppress his excitement. "Then let's analyze it and come up with a way to solve this matter! With your spiritual power and wisdom, this matter will not be difficult to handle!"

Xue Zeqing smiled lightly, "It depends on your words and deeds!"

"By the way, I still have something to tell!" Liu Li reached for the note, and suddenly saw the mille-feuille on the table. "Oh, by the way, this is a snack I bought from an old store, you might as well try it!"

"Okay! thank you!" Yukisawa opened the package and saw the crispy white jade pastry, and his mood became much better. "This is mille-feuille? This is what I used to eat when I was a child, but I didn't expect it to be sold here!"

Liu Li looked at the mille-feuille crisp in surprise and couldn't help but smile. "Taking advantage of such a good mood, I will inform you of the good news of Miss Nangong! This is what she wrote, describing the appearance of Prince Pingliang and so on, maybe it will be helpful to you!"

Yukisawa was shocked, especially happy. "Great, now you can ask Miss Qu to act!"

Looking at Xue Ze's smile, Liu Li felt that when she saw a hundred flowers blooming and dawning and sunset, when she smiled, it was his whole world.
