"Your Excellency!"

"Hmm." Li You sat in the upper hand position and nodded at Sun Lei. "Sun Lei, what are you looking for?"

"The younger one has a cousin named Sun Sen, who must have been seen by adults."

"You mean the big shopkeeper of Linghu Yu?"

"Yes, sir." Sun Lei nodded.

"Haha, it's been so long, if you don't remind me, I really can't remember." Li You's tone was reproachful.

Sun Lei blinked his eyes and immediately understood what Li You meant. "Adult, it's a small ignorance, please don't blame the adult."

"Hehe, how dare this official blame you." Li Youpi didn't smile. "Sun Lei, I don't know something, I don't know if you can teach me."

"Your Excellency, you've tormented the villain." Sun Lei saw Li You's yin and yang weirdness, and he couldn't help but beat a little drum in his heart. "Your Excellency, it's okay to ask."

"How is your relationship with this Linghu family?" Li You winked at Sun Lei.

"Relationship." Sun Lei couldn't help lowering his head, his eyes turned left and right, pondering how to answer Li You.

"Don't say it." Li You's face was displeased, and his attitude immediately changed. "Say, what's the matter with the official!"

"My lord, Sun Sento's subordinates ask your lord if there is time these days..."

"Nope." After Li You finished speaking, he got up and was about to leave, but Sun Lei panicked all of a sudden. "Your Excellency, Your Excellency..."

Li You stopped and smiled meaningfully again. "I said Sun Lei, no one knows the power of the Linghu family, and no one knows it, your cousin can be the big shopkeeper in his family, does your family have any special relationship with the Linghu family? Are you stupid when you're a master? ”

After listening to Li You's words, Sun Lei knew that if he didn't reveal some information to Li You, Li You would definitely not agree to himself. However, thinking of the delicate relationship between his family and the Linghu family, and knowing that he could not help Li You achieve his goal, after thinking about it, Sun Lei still made a painful decision. "My lord, I can't hide it, Sun Sen's sister is Ling Fox's insider."

"That's right." Li Youxi was so overjoyed that he walked up to Sun Lei and gently patted Sun Lei on the shoulder. "There is still one less team leader in our county office, I think I'll let you come."

"Oh, sir!" Sun Lei was overjoyed. "Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! ”

"You're welcome!" Li You winked at Sun Lei. "In the future, in front of the Linghu shopkeeper, you have to help me say a few kind words."

"Of course, that's of course." Although Sun Lei smiled a little reluctantly, he still agreed hard.

"Okay, okay." Li Youchong nodded with satisfaction to Sun Lei. "Sun Lei, what did you just say?"

"Ling Huyu wants to invite you to come over to talk about it, I wonder when the adults will have time?"

"Oh? That's great! That's great! Li You showed a greedy look. Then tomorrow at noon, I will come to the house on time to pay a visit, and then I will have a good chat with the owner of Linghu. ”

"Subordinates understand, subordinates understand"

After Sun Lei left, Ouyang Jian and the others walked out of the inner room.

Ouyang Jian, Yuan Gang, and Zhong Yao all looked at Li You with strange eyes, and Li You showed a wry smile. "Strategy! Tactics! ”

"Brother Yuan, when I talked to Master Li before, I would only say a few words."

"Oh? Why? ”

"Because my master warned me, Master Li—the most cunning!"

"Brother Ouyang, why didn't you tell me earlier." Yuan Gang smiled bitterly.

"What do you mean?"

Li You didn't bother to pay attention to them anymore.

………

Li You strolled through Lingang Lane, walking unhurriedly, and stopped from time to time to chat with the merchants on the roadside, swaggering through the market, for fear that others would not know that he was Li You.

Test the waters!

Li You is testing the other party with himself.

After the last attack, Li You speculated that it was Ling Hujiao's people who wanted to kill him, and Yuan Gang's words further confirmed Li You's thoughts afterwards.

However, after revealing a few hole cards to Yang Ming, Ling Hu took the initiative to throw an olive branch. Is this a Hongmen banquet set up by the other party, or is there any variable?

Therefore, in order to confirm this problem, Li You decided to swagger through the market and swaggered towards Linghu's house to see if Linghu's family would send someone to assassinate him.

However, Li You finally arrived at Linghuyu's house safely.

"Master Lee."

At the door of Ling Huyu's house, an unexpected person was waiting for Li You.

"Oh, Lord Thorn, why are you here?" This person turned out to be Wang Lang, the assassin of Luzhou.

"Master Li, it's been almost a year since the annual visit at the beginning of the year."

"Yes, Lord Thorn. Xiaguan has always wanted to visit adults, but Shengtang County has been too peaceful this year, and Xiaguan is tired of official business, so he has lost his manners. In the officialdom, Li You came to his fingertips and told lies without blinking an eye. If Ouyang Jian was here, he would definitely show disdain again.

"Yes, yes, I heard that Lord Li has solved several big cases, especially the case of Zhao Wu's tomb robbery, which has been heard by the Holy Hearing, and the emperor is very happy." Wang Lang was full of beautiful words, which made Li You finally have an answer to the question he had been thinking about.

Wang Lang is a new variable!

It seems that today's banquet should have a good show.

While thinking to himself, Li You walked side by side with Wang Lang, and swaggered into Ling Huyu's cash cabinet.

"Lord Wang, please take a seat! Lord Li, please forgive your sins. Ling Huyu was busy giving gifts and put Li You and Wang Lang in the first place.

"Linghu shopkeeper, you are too polite." Li You returned the gift.

"Lord Wang arrived early, and he had to go to the door to greet Lord Li in person, saying that Lord Li is now famous, which is the pride of my Luzhou." Ling Huyu looked at Li You, but his mouth was praising Wang Lang. "Corporal Wang Lixian, the grass people admire and admire."

"Zhao Wu's case was arraigned by the Criminal Department, and after the officials of the Criminal Department checked the case file, they all admired Master Li's rigorous work and resourcefulness, not only caught the culprit, but also preserved the reputation of Weizhuang, a famous person." Wang Lang ignored Ling Huyu at all and continued to praise Li You. "This case was reported to the emperor, and the emperor praised me for knowing how to make good use of people, and rewarded Master Li with 1,000 taels of silver!"

"Lord Wang, without your support and love, even if the lower officials have some ability, there is no room to show it, Li You, thank you." Li You got up and saluted Wang Lang, taking the opportunity to calm the excitement and surprise in his heart.

One thousand taels of silver! For Li You, who is too poor to afford a sedan chair, it is simply a windfall that flies, and it is impossible not to be excited. However, Li You was indeed sincerely surprised.

After Zhao Wu's case was arraigned, although Li You always paid attention to the news of the Criminal Department, after all, the DPRK and China had no foundation, and he never knew the final result. Listening to what Wang Lang said today, the Criminal Department should have agreed with his conclusion and returned Wei Zhuang's innocence

However, he has rescued several key witnesses, and Biyue has not drawn a detain on his confession, could it be that the Criminal Department convicted Biyue just according to the previous records?

At that time, there were all kinds of signs that the other party's purpose was to save Biyue, did the other party change his mind again?

No way! When pigs fly!

Then there is another strange thing.

Because it is about the emperor, it is impossible for Wang Lang to lie, so there must be a deeper conspiracy hidden behind this.

What is the purpose of the other party after all?

"My lord, I don't know the culprit Biyue..."Li You thought about it and asked Wang Lang tentatively.

"Kill! Behead in public! Needless to say. Wang Lang didn't hesitate for a minute, which made Li You even more surprised.

Could it be that Biyue was really killed?

No, Biyue has such a powerful ability, it is impossible for the other party to give it up, then the conclusion is - Li Dai Taozhuang! The other party can even make the emperor under the holy decree, and it is definitely not difficult to change people during the execution.

Thinking of this, Li You was sure that he would definitely encounter Biyue again in the future, and he didn't know what she would look like at that time.

"Good! Happy! Although he thought so in his heart, Li You said something else. My emperor is truly sage! ”

"Two adults, the banquet has been prepared, let's change places to talk." Although Ling Huyu was left out in the cold, he always kept smiling, and when he saw that the words of the two had reached a paragraph, he hurriedly invited the two to sit down.

"Good!" Although Wang Lang nodded in agreement, he didn't look at Ling Huqing, still staring at Li You. "Master Li, please!"

"Lord Wang, you have been distraught, please first!"

"Haha, let's go together." Wang Lang took Li You's hand and walked quickly to the living room.

"My lord, you are too fond of the lower officials."

Ling Huyu looked at the backs of the two, a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes, but he didn't dare to stop at his feet, and followed closely behind him.

……

"Master Li, please!" Wang Lang picked up the wine glass, and Li You hurriedly picked it up. "Lord Wang, please!" The two of them drank it all.

There were six people at the wine table, Wang Lang, Li You, and Ling Huzhen sat next to each other, followed by Wang Lang's two personal entourage, and one was Wang Lang's wife Sun Yan.

Seeing that the two of them finished drinking, Ling Huyu got up and wanted to pour wine for Wang Lang, but Wang Lang directly picked up the wine jug.

"Well, it's a good wine! Master Li, let's have a few more drinks today. Wang Lang poured a full wine for Li You, poured it for himself, and then returned the wine jug to Ling Huzhen, who had been standing in place in embarrassment, until Wang Lang returned the wine jug, and finally found the steps.

"Linghu shopkeeper, I have been in the same hall with Lord Linghu for many years, but we have never eaten together, and today I borrowed a treasure from Linghu shopkeeper, which is the first time I have had private contact with the Linghu family." Wang Lang finally glanced at Ling Huqing, but the words in his mouth were not right, and the voice outside the strings was obviously telling Li You that he had no personal relationship with the Ling Hu family.

From the door to the wine table, Li You had already seen Wang Lang's intentions. Wang Lang chose the softest persimmon of the Linghu family, Linghu Zhen, and then stepped on it in front of him at will to show his attitude - he was the opponent of the Linghu family.

When Ling Huyu heard Wang Lang's words, he hurriedly stood up with a wine glass. "Today, Lord Wang is here, the humble house is really full of splendor, if the adults have anything in the future..."

"Today is all for Master Li." Without waiting for Ling Huyu to finish speaking, Wang Lang opened his mouth to interrupt. "Come, Master Li, let's have another drink."

"Thank you, sir!" Li You picked up the wine glass and drank it with Wang Lang again. Ling Fox was left hanging in place again, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Li You pondered for a while, he didn't want to give Ling Hu any steps down, but when he saw Sun Yan's sad eyes, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in front of him. "This should be Mrs. Sun."

"Yes." Ling Huzhen took the opportunity to turn to Li You. "Yan'er, give a toast to the two adults." Sun Yan hurriedly stood up. "Two adults, the women give a glass to the two adults."

"Thank you, ma'am!" Li You didn't wait for Wang Lang to speak, and immediately picked up the wine glass. "But Shi has just finished drinking, and now the wine is not full, and I have to bother Madame."

Sun Yan looked at Li You, then looked back at Ling Huqing, Ling Huzhen hurriedly nodded in agreement, Sun Yan picked up the wine jug and walked to Li You's side. "Your Excellency, please!"

"Thank you!" Li You picked up his wine glass and turned his head to look at Sun Yan. "Sun Lei is a subordinate of the lower officials, I heard that Mrs. and Sun Lei have some kinship, I don't know if there is such a thing?"

"This..."When Sun Yan heard this, she looked back at Ling Huzhen again, Ling Huyu frowned slightly, and was just about to speak, Li You saw this in his eyes and immediately spoke. Could it be that Sun Lei lied? In vain I am so important to him! How unreasonable! ”

Li You raised his brows, a look of annoyance. After Sun Yan saw it, she didn't wait for Ling Huyu to respond, and hurriedly agreed. "My lord, Sun Lei is the cousin of the people's wife."

"I'll just say he won't lie to me, haha." Li You pretended to laugh while looking at Sun Yan meaningfully. "I heard Sun Lei say that Mrs. 's daughter..."Li You stopped talking when he said this. Madam, the lower officials are thoroughly investigating the case of the Miao family's three deaths in two years, and since it is a thorough investigation, it may affect some people or things..."

Hearing Li You's words, Ling Huqing's face changed greatly, and Sun Yan was even more shocked, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, as if he wanted to say something to Li You, but he glanced back at Ling Huqing, and finally lowered his head again.

"Why did you suddenly talk about business, it's really a drunken gaffe." Li You saw that the goal had been achieved, and immediately started haha. "Lord Wang, after your praise, the lower officials are a little carried away."

"Haha, there is a history of assassination, although Lord Li lets go of his hands and feet, he will judge the case impartially." Wang Lang immediately came out and stiffened Li You. "If there is another case that goes straight to the Holy Hearing, then Master Li's future will be limitless."

"Without Lord Wang's love, how can I Li You." Li You's face was flattering. "Lord Wang, Xiaguan will give you another drink!"

At this time, Sun Yan was still standing next to Li You, and Ling Huyu was also standing next to Wang Lang, but the two of them didn't see the two, and after praising each other, they actually had a drink alone.

"Master Li, this official and you really hate to see each other late." Wang Lang borrowed the slope to get off the donkey. "It's better to sit in the post house after eating, there is a dragon well given by the emperor in this official, let's have a good taste."

"Okay, good, it's an honor for the lower officials." Li You agreed.

When Ling Huyu heard this, although he tried to stay calm on the surface, the sweat had already seeped out of his forehead, his face was red and white, and he only felt that he wanted to cry loudly in his heart, and even wanted to stab Li You and Wang Lang a few times on the spot.

Through the fact that Liu Bao's file was changed and promoted through extraordinary means, Li You concluded that Yao Buwei must be inextricably linked with the Linghu family, or that Yao Buwei was very likely to be attached to the Linghu family.

Today's banquet was obviously forced by Wang Lang to Ling Hu, and Wang Lang's purpose was to step on Ling Hu's face to show Li You in front of him, so as to clarify his position to Li You. Now that Li You drew his sword on the spot and pointed at Yao Buwei, Wang Lang not only did not stop him, but even invited Li You in person to further add fuel to the fire.

In Ling Huqing's opinion, Li You and Wang Lang not only didn't take the Ling Hu family seriously at all, but also provoked the relationship between themselves and his wife in front of themselves, and even reached an alliance naked in front of themselves.

However, although he was in his own home at this time, he could only watch the performance of the two with his eyes, and he was not even qualified to intervene. For a person who has been marginalized in his own family and has suffered a lot, Ling Hu Jing has already shown his great self-cultivation by spitting blood in his mouth without spitting blood on the spot, as for what will happen to the Ling Hu family and what Sun Yan will do in the future, I am afraid it is not within Ling Hu's control.

Ling Huzhen, a person who broke with his family for love and groveled to his family because of his greed for official careers, his fate was destined to be a tragedy, but he himself did not realize it.
