Chapter 43: The Cunning Fox

A shocked expression crossed Li Yijian's face, although it was only for a moment, it did not escape Chu Yunfei's eyes. It was a surprise that he had arranged, and of course he would not miss every detail. Liang Yunsheng turned his head to look at Li Yijian, and said word by word: "Are you surprised that I am still alive?" ”

"Steward Liang? What do you mean by that? You are the housekeeper of Liang Wangfu, who dares to do anything to you? Li Yijian replied coldly.

Pretty Shih Tzu interjected in surprise: "You say...... Was he involved in the case? How can it be? He...... He is a famous catcher in the capital. ”

A faint smile appeared on Li Yijian's face: "Madame, that's a good point. I have always been honest and honest, this is obvious to all, if Gongzi Chu wants to pour dirty water on me, he has to come up with some evidence, right? What does it mean to bite me like this without evidence? ”

Chu Yunfei stopped Liang Yunsheng, who rushed up, and in just a few words, Li Yijian was confused: "He Zhutou, tell me how much your silver is?" ”

Homer was stunned for a moment, wondering how this guy could ask such a question. However, he would definitely not ask such a question for no reason, so he answered truthfully: "Two taels a month, barely enough to support the family." ”

"Yes. These are indeed only enough to feed a family. Li Zhutou is one level higher than He Zhutou, and at most it is only two taels to three taels of silver, right? Chu Yunfei turned the conversation to Li Yijian, and continued: "In the four years since you served in Kaifeng Mansion, you have cracked many big cases, and the reward you received from the government is two thousand taels of silver, and you have always been generous in getting rid of you, and every time you are rewarded, you have to invite the brothers here to have a big meal, and the silver in your hands will definitely not exceed two thousand taels, I am right?" ”

Li Yijian still had a disapproving expression on the surface, but he was very shocked in his heart, he didn't expect Chu Yunfei to notice such a detail, this was something he never expected anyone to pay attention to.

Chu Yunfei knew what he was thinking: "As early as three years ago, I started to pay attention to you, and at that time it was purely curiosity, because you were the first arrester in Kaifeng Mansion, and people compared you and me. Relatively speaking, you are honest, strictly enforce the law, and never let go of the criminals you get your hands on, and you are more respected than me, a person who does not play cards according to common sense. I've also researched that the time that really made you famous in the capital should be two and a half years ago. At that time, there were several thefts in the east of the city, and the thieves were all famous families, and the thief was a mysterious Jiangyang thief. You cleverly set up a mechanism to lure him into the bait, and when you caught him, it was said that the man was willing to pay a thousand taels of gold to ask you to spare him, but you were unmoved, and still arrested him. The man committed suicide shortly after being imprisoned. But the fact that you are not moved by money still spreads, and you have become the first catcher in the capital. Not bad, right? Soon after, you also rose to the rank of chief catcher in Kaifeng Mansion. ”

This is the glory of Li Yijian and the pride of his life. Chu Yunfei smiled: "Not bad." That's when I started investigating you too. At the same time, I also noticed some small details that you were hiding over. For example, you have always been a very particular person, try to make yourself look comfortable and unobtrusive. For example, your valuable sword, your well-made boots, and your well-fitting clothes. Especially your current belt, which may be seen by others as an ordinary stone, but those who know it will find that it is worth a lot of money if you look closely. After noticing this, I went to your house again. Your house looks ordinary, only an ordinary mansion, with no magnificent decorations, and no people to be invited. But I still noticed that the bed you slept on was from the most famous 'Golden House' in the capital, and they cost fifty taels of silver for a bed there. The furniture in the house that looks very simple and is actually very exquisite, a complete set will not be less than five hundred taels, I'm afraid even Lord Yin is reluctant to buy it, right? Subsequently, I carefully investigated your background and found that your ancestors were not very wealthy, so it is impossible for you to leave a large inheritance for you to squander. This made me even more curious about the origin of those possessions. Can you explain? ”

Li Yijian was almost a little unsteady on his feet, he originally thought that the battle with Chu Yunfei had started after the Treasure Pavilion incident, but he didn't expect Chu Yunfei to start paying attention to him so early. This contest was doomed from the beginning, or he was doomed to lose before it even began, and his blind arrogance made him lose in one fell swoop. Chu Yunfei is terrifying! He had been reminded more than once, but he always thought that he was so sure that he couldn't go wrong!

"Actually, without King Liang and Master Sanssouci coming forward, you would also take the initiative to participate in this case, right? Borrowing the waist card of King Zhongliang and going to Qingcheng Mountain to visit immortals and seek Taoism, are you all playing tricks? Li Yijian asked in a dry voice.

Chu Yunfei nodded, and shook his head again: "No, I really didn't want to meddle in this case at that time, I was just a little curious." I've always been curious about your financial resources, but I never thought you'd be associated with the Treasure Pavilion case. Because I don't think it's possible for someone as smart as you to do such a foolish thing. But King Liang and Master Sanssouci shot at the same time, and you, who have always hated me the most, were willing to come forward, so I had to push the boat with the flow. I don't understand, why do you want me to be involved in this case? If you're afraid of goofs, why are you looking for me? ”

Li Yijian said coldly: "It's very simple, I want to confirm the two of us, who is the real famous capture in the capital." ”

Such an answer was amazing, but it was unexpected by Chu Yunfei. He was silent for a while before looking at Li Yijian and asking, "Is this important to you?" Even at the expense of the law? ”

A sly smile slipped across Li Yijian's face: "I think this is a battle of wisdom." Since you insist that I am involved in this case, find a way to prove your point instead of making idle guesses. ”

Chu Yunfei looked at Li Yijian in bewilderment, he originally thought that Li Yijian's motive was just for money, so he carefully laid a trap. But hearing him say this, he became more and more incomprehensible, and even felt that Li Yijian's mind was different from that of a normal person. However, he understands that the head-to-head confrontation with Li Yijian has just begun.

In this initial battle, no one has the absolute certainty of winning, no matter whether Chu Yunfei or Li Yijian, they must work hard to deal with the possible situation. You must know that the wisdom and scheming of these two people are comparable. Chu Yunfei's chances of winning were not good, because Li Yijian's cunning had already exceeded his imagination. However, the arrival of Liang Yunsheng added a strong guarantee to Chu Yunfei.
