Chapter 156: Addicted to Back
A lantern is not enough to illuminate the entire courtyard, but it is enough to gentle the eyebrows of a young man.
Huo Xiaoting first probed the situation in the house, then turned around and walked back to Li Cha's side, stretched out his arm and said, "The gold that was found said to be in the study." ”
"I can walk on my own." Li Cha gave him a blank look.
"Don't you still want me to carry you like I did on the day in Liangshan?" At the mention of Liangshan, his ears turned red.
It's just that the light is dim, and Li Cha doesn't see it.
How can this man be like this!
She gave him a blank look, "Inexplicable." It was as if she was going to climb on his back.
Li Cha stretched out his hand to support his arm, and the two of them walked together to the main house where Master Zhang used to live.
He held his arm to force her, and his steps slowed down.
Although the Zhang Mansion was only sealed today, although it is not overgrown, it still feels deserted.
No matter how big or small the house is, it can only be called home where people are there.
Her feet couldn't walk too fast, and she couldn't stand the inexplicable atmosphere between her and Huo Xiaoting, so she could only find a topic and ask: "Now Master Zhang is in the prison of the Criminal Department, right?" ”
Of course, she had already asked this question clearly from Li Jiuye.
"Hmm." Huo Xiaoting bowed, "The Criminal Department is in charge of the trial of cases in the capital and the review of cases outside the capital, while Dali Temple is mainly responsible for the review. ”
"That means that even if the next door has the intention of framing Master Zhang, he still can't reach out for the time being?"
"It's hard to say."
This is really hard to say, after all, the Criminal Department and Dali Temple are both judicial institutions, and they should have close contacts on weekdays.
What's more, Li Cha has also heard the term "official protection".
"Are you worried that Master Zhang will be implicated because of the events of that night?"
"This is also speculation, after all, the cause of Zheng Wenhao's death is still unknown." This is only a small part of Huo Xiaoting's speculation.
He wouldn't tell her that he had calculated that she would not stand idly by in this matter, so he gave up the last opportunity to go to Qingshan Camp to experience training before getting married, and came to meddle in this matter.
But what he said reminded Li Cha.
At that time, she also decided to let Zheng Wenhao go with his life after thinking about it twice.
One of the reasons is that she is just a modern veterinarian, and she has never been touched by human life.
What's more, Li Qing had not yet divorced Zheng Wenhao at that time, and she was afraid that it would affect Li Qing's reputation.
Now it seems that if Huo Xiaoting had taken action directly at that time, he would definitely not have left Zheng Wenhao's scum to linger for a few more days, and it would be over if he was thrown directly into the moat.
Thinking of this, Li Cha's mind couldn't help but become a little complicated, and he always felt that he would be involved in this matter, after all, because of her.
"You don't have to think about it, if Master Zhang is really framed, there will always be a chance to avenge his grievances." She couldn't help but comfort him.
Huo Xiaoting was very helpful when he heard it.
With that, the two had already stepped into the room, and Huo Xiaoting found another lamp to light it.
The house was in shambles, and one could imagine how panicked the people in the house must have been during the daytime search.
Huo Xiaoting kicked away the high table and the broken bottle that fell to the ground at his feet, clearing a way for Li Qia.
He still raised his arm to serve her as a fulcrum, and with the other hand he carried a lamp to guide the way, and did not forget to tell her, "You slow down!" ”
Li Cha looked around with the light in his hand, but he really didn't pay attention to the road under his feet.
The two of them walked through the open hall and then past a banquet room, and everywhere they went was a mess, until they stopped at a doorframe without a curtain.
Because the room on the edge of the main house was missing a wall, the summer evening breeze just came in and blew the light from the lantern swaying.
Li Cha took advantage of this light to see that there was still a painting on the wall of this study.
Huo Xiaoting helped her into the room, found a good place to fall into the corner, and then let go, and lifted the lantern to shine on the broken wall that had been chiseled so that only the root of the wall remained.
"Are there any gold ingots that have fallen?" Li Cha asked with a twinkle in his eyes.
Huo Xiaoting carried the lantern to check if there was any evidence left, and did not look back at her, but still asked, "Are you very short of silver?" ”
Li Cha ignored the money she had laid out on the table today, and said, "Because I have been more naughty since I was a child, my father and mother have always controlled my pocket money very strictly. ”
Huo Xiaoting couldn't help but think that that time in the Qingqing Poetry Society, the money she paid for her clearance was all from him.
And that time she went to Liangshan, she rented a carriage, and she didn't have any money to pay the coachman.
Huo Xiaoting only felt an indescribable astringency in his heart.
When she marries into the Huo family, he will definitely not detain her in terms of money.
Li Cha just said it so casually, she didn't really expect Huo Xiaoting to be concerned.
At this time, her attention was all about the painting on the wall of this broken room, because the painting in front of her was somewhat similar to the one in Imperial Physician Wei's study.
Li Cha raised his hand and wanted to knock on the wall behind the painting, but he didn't expect his arm to pass directly through the painting.
As a result, the painting fell off the wall and hung directly on Li Cha's arm, so that it was not embarrassed.
"It is said that there is also a dark room in this study, and there are many jewels hidden in it." Huo Xiaoting stepped forward and took the painting off Li Cha's arm.
Behind them was the secret chamber, and now the door was open, and there were stone steps leading to it.
"You wait here, I'll go down and see, and come up." Huo Xiaoting walked to Li Qia's side and said.
Li Cha only now found out that Huo Xiaoting was a beautiful face in the prosperous era from the front, and from the side door, it was a side face killing!
It's a pity, it's a pity!
Li Cha smacked his lips, "I'm going down too." "If she's just here for a walk, then why risk escaping in the middle of the night.
What's more, it's dense, she hasn't seen what it's like, can she not be curious at this time?
couldn't help but say, "I'm afraid that you will go down alone and pick up the jewelry and hide it secretly." ”
Huo Xiaoting looked at the stone steps and raised his eyebrows, "You want me to carry you?" ”
Oh my boy, you're still addicted.
Li Cha secretly gritted his teeth, and his face was faint, "Turn around." ”
Huo Xiaoting turned around and took the next step first, and then bent his straight waist again, giving her a just right angle to climb up his back.
Li Cha only needed to pounce forward, and he just fell on his broad back.
This time, there was no fire chasing behind the buttocks, but Huo Xiaoting walked leisurely.
"You'd better hurry!" Li Cha couldn't help but urge him on his back.
The stone steps were not long, and Huo Xiaoting quickly carried Li Qia into the secret room.
There was no imaginary mess inside, only a table, which had fallen to the floor, revealing only a corner of what was pressed.
"You put me down." Li Cha swung his legs.
Once her feet were on the ground, she took two turns and walked to the overturned table, trying to move away and pick up something pressed under the table.
"If this secret room really hides jewels, how can there be this?"
