Fan Mansion posted a seal, Li Mansion tiptoed up and down, and did not dare to come out, one or two neighbors separated by dozens of zhang had already closed the door in fright, and the silence of Willow Hutong was full of helpless timidity and dazedness.

Not far from the mouth of the alley, Yu Yuanshan, who had just received the letter, had a tense face, his lips pursed into a line, he was anxious but pretended to be in a hurry to the willow alley, just stepped half a foot to the mouth of the alley, and saw the guards at the gate of the Li Mansion with goose wings lined up and nailed like nails, hurriedly stopped his steps, twisted his body stiffly, looked around as if he was looking for a way, raised his hand, as if patting his head in annoyance, strode across the alley, and flashed to the side.

That's the guard of the Liang Palace! Waiting outside the door, the guard is spread straight outside the gate, it must be the prince in the house! Yu Yuanshan exhaled a long breath, and his straight body collapsed a lot softly, blessed by Buddha and Bodhisattva! Yu Yuanshan walked a few steps slowly, thought about it carefully, turned his head to find a tea shop diagonally opposite the mouth of the alley, went in and picked a seat by the window to sit down, asked for a bowl of tea, and drank it slowly, while looking at the mouth of the alley attentively, waiting for Su Zicheng to come out.

Nailed at the door of Li's mansion, it was determined to be Su Zicheng's guard, Su Zicheng sat on the armchair in Wei Shuisheng's house in Lotus Garden, sipped a cup of tea, glanced around, his eyes fell on the unconscious Wei Shuisheng, and moved from Wei Shuisheng to Li Xiaoqi sitting on the bedside chair, but for an hour or two, Li Xiaoqi was as haggard as a flower that had lost water, Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaoqi distressedly, but he didn't know what to say, he stayed for a long time, coughed lightly, looked at Li Xiaoqi and asked, "Have you used lunch?" Li Xiaoyi was stunned before he reacted, plausible, and didn't know whether to nod or shake his head, Su Zicheng's brows furrowed, and his eyes looked at Mama Zhang, Mama Zhang trembled slightly, bent her knees and replied timidly: "Back to Master, the girl is too sad to eat." ”

Li Xiaoqi turned his head and stared at Su Zicheng very intently, Su Zicheng didn't care about reprimanding Mama Zhang, and met Li Xiaoyi's gaze, but found that Li Xiaoyi's eyes were staring at him, but he had passed through him, I didn't know where he saw, Su Zicheng was inexplicably confused and uneasy by her, and gradually became uncomfortable, Li Xiaoqi suddenly sighed longly, slowly stood up, walked to the window, and stretched out his hand to push the half-open window to the end, Su Zicheng hurriedly followed to the window, stood behind Li Xiaoqi and looked down at her, Mama Zhang swept the two, quietly signaled to the girls and ladies standing in the house, and retreated lightly, Xi'an hesitated, and hurriedly retreated.

Li Xiaoqi looked at the thick green sky outside the window from afar, stayed for a long time, turned his head to look at Su Zicheng, and said in a calm and low voice: "Thank you for coming to visit, Brother Shui Sheng is fine, I am also fine, thank you." Su Zicheng was stunned and was about to speak, when Li Xiaoqi lowered his eyes and asked, "Have you found out the origin of the assassin?" ”

"Well, Wu Di came over, and the main envoy is Prime Minister Lin's nephew, and there is a monk named Zhijing." Su Zicheng replied simply and clearly, Li Xiaoqi looked up at Su Zicheng in amazement, stayed for a moment, closed his eyes, and laughed out loud, Su Zicheng was a little inexplicable by her laughter, Li Xiaoqi fell back two steps, leaned against the windowsill, looked at Su Zicheng and smiled bitterly: "It seems that every drink and every cut are predetermined, I do the antecedents, and let Brother Shui bear the consequences." Su Zicheng reacted instantly, subconsciously raised his chin, and said with a hint of ruthlessness: "What is a drink?" What does this matter to you? The rebellion of Wu Di and the death of Lin Xiang are all self-inflicted! I'll bear the consequences! Li Xiaoqi looked up at Su Zicheng, opened her mouth, and swallowed back the words that came to her mouth, she had her reasons, but she didn't have to say more to him.

"Lin Xiang's nephew is a famous man in Wu, hum! Stupid! If it weren't for ••••••" Su Zicheng swallowed back the words behind him, and received the next sentence stiffly: "There is not enough success, there is more than failure, except for death, it is assassination, hum!" ”

"Famous men and monks, beautiful and useless, if you don't happen to catch someone who is more stupid, you don't have such a chance to get close." Li Xiaoqi turned his head to look at Wei Shuisheng, who was sleeping on the bed, his voice was full of bottomless sourness, Su Zicheng was soured by her voice, reached out and stroked Li Xiaoyi's shoulder, and comforted him gently: "Don't be sad, it's not a big deal, everyone is in my house, you ••••••" Li Xiaoqi gently dodged Su Zicheng's hand, looked up at him and asked, "Have you caught two of them?" ”

"Not yet, I found a place to live, it seems that I ran away from the city early this morning, Mingzhu took someone to chase after him, you can rest assured, I will never let him escape." Su Zicheng's arm slowly hung down in embarrassment and loss, and he turned his back uncomfortably and said, Li Xiaoqi looked up at Su Zicheng and asked, "People chase back, is the prince going to hand it over to the criminal department or ••••••?"

"I was about to discuss with you, this matter can't be avoided by the Fan family after all, you see?" Su Zicheng inquired, Li Xiaoqi half-hung his head, and said in a low and clear voice: "Mr. Lin and Zhijing are famous and famous monks, almost everyone in the Taiping Mansion knows each other, this assassination, if the prince sends troops in the future, he will have an excuse." Su Zicheng breathed a long sigh of relief, raised his eyebrows impatiently, and smiled excitedly: "I knew you were the same as I thought!" What a gift to your door! I plan to let the Criminal Department interrogate with great fanfare, and then send someone to Wu Di to deliver the letter of state, so as not to extinguish the anger of the nine clans of the Lin family who can't calm Beiping! If Empress Dowager Wu destroys the Lin family," Li Xiaoqi shook his head slightly, and Su Zicheng nodded in agreement: "Yes, Empress Dowager Wu will never destroy the Lin family, she won't do it, I have to do it myself!" Su Zicheng's smile was faintly revealing a hint of scoundrel, Li Xiaoqi tilted his head to look at him, and said seriously: "If the Empress Dowager Wu is willing to destroy the Lin family, and then compensate us for the military expenses of using knives and guns, we will immediately withdraw the army from Huainan Road, if not, then we have to occupy it first, this is a helpless thing." Su Zicheng smiled and nodded again and again, Li Xiaoqi sighed lightly, and said in a low voice: "As for the Fan family, the state has national laws, and Xiaoqi does not dare to violate the public with private interests." Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaoqi with surprise in his eyes, then turned his head to look at Wei Shuisheng, then turned his head to look at Li Xiaoyi, and then whispered for a while: "Don't be careful until now, everything has me." Li Xiaoqi hung his head and did not answer, the room was silent for a while, and after a while, Li Xiaoqi took half a step back and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Lord Wang, I will take a few days off, and I will go over when Brother Shui is ••••••better." Su Zicheng frowned, thought about it and agreed: "It's okay, although Wei Shuisheng is fine, but the injury is extremely serious, you take good care of him at home for a few days, don't think about it, everything has me, and no one will bully you." Li Xiaoqi said softly, Su Zicheng stood for a moment before he said goodbye: "You have to rest yourself, I will ask Imperial Doctor Huang to come over to diagnose your pulse when you go back, and let Xi'an go back to get it if you don't have anything, don't think too much." ”

Li Xiaoqi agreed one by one and sent Su Zicheng out of the lotus root courtyard, Su Zicheng turned around and stopped her: "Don't send it, you can rest well, I will come to see you in the evening." Li Xiaoqi hesitated, stopped and didn't send it out again, Wisteria and Danyue followed Li Xiaoqi to stop walking, and Mama Zhang, Mama Lu and others followed Su Zicheng and Zhu Xiaowu to the gate.

After passing the second gate, Su Zicheng suddenly paused, turned his head to look at Mama Zhang and asked, "Which family has come to visit?" ”

"Back to the prince, no one has come over yet." Mama Zhang hurriedly bowed down and replied, Su Zicheng took a deep breath, turned around and walked out of the door with a cold face.

Yu Yuanshan guarded Su Zicheng and left the willow alley surrounded by small servants and guards, settled the account in a relaxed mood, and went to the Li Mansion to see Li Xiaoqi and Wei Shuisheng with brisk steps.

Su Zicheng dismounted at the gate of King Liang's mansion, paused in the second gate, turned his head to look at Dongping and ordered: "Tell Li Zongliang about this, if he wants to come back, allow him to come back!" ”

"Yes! Where is the fifth master? Dongping hurriedly chased after him, and Su Zicheng ordered without looking back: "Don't mention it." Dongping agreed heavily, retreated to the side of the ear room to write a letter, thought about it, burned the letter, said a few simple words with bamboo paper, rolled into a very small paper tube, turned into the pigeon room next to it, asked for a carrier pigeon, and sent the letter out.

In the evening, when Su Zicheng went to Li's mansion again, Shui Yan had already come over to see Wei Shuisheng, leaving a box of old ginseng, Li Xiaoqi shrank on the low couch that Wei Shuisheng temporarily moved in front of the bed, and fell asleep in a group, Su Zicheng stood in front of the couch and watched for most of the day, before retreating to the courtyard, and asked Mama Zhang to come over and ask Li Xiaoxiao about his diet and daily life in the afternoon.

Sister Zhang and others didn't dare to go into the lotus garden to disturb, go back, and don't worry, only busy in the house, Mama Zhang passed the letter back and forth, a few people gradually knew the cause and effect, Mama Zhang sighed and persuaded: "A few grandmothers go back first, it seems that the case of the Fan family will not be closed for a while, I asked the girl, the girl said, the prison should be taken in, Jiang Da / grandma relaxed, Xi'an said, people are still in the Liang Wangfu at this time, if there is any change in the back, I will let people send a letter to a few grandmothers, go back first, the girl said, What to do is to do what you do. Sister Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, sighed again, thought about it, looked at Mama Zhang and sighed: "Alas! Xiao Wu is like that, the second master's hand is •••••• to go back, isn't this the same as a cat scratching? I'll come back early tomorrow morning, once upon a time in the mountains, when there is anything, I can still cook, but now •••••• alas! Why am I getting more and more useless? ”

"Third grandmother, don't say that, the girl is like that, Mankaiping Mansion and Manbeiping are only one of our girls, if you want to say it's useless, we're useless, don't make trouble for the girl, it's useful, a few grandmothers go back first, settle down at home, if there is anything, I will let people invite a few grandmothers." Mama Zhang hurriedly relieved Sister Zhang and the others, and sent several people back.
