Southwest of Shengtang County, at the foot of Wanshan Mountain.

A young woman was standing on a high ground beyond the courtyard walls, staring at the busy workers inside the courtyard walls.

The workers dug a huge pit in the courtyard, but in the process of excavation, they encountered a huge rock, and at this moment they are using iron picks, chisels and other instruments to break the boulder little by little, and then move it out of the pit.

The woman looked at these workers, frowned for a while, and then showed a distressed look, and finally she couldn't bear it anymore, leaned forward, and was about to move her body, but was stopped.

"Yan'er!" The woman hurriedly turned around, and a kind old woman was standing behind her. The woman hurried to the old woman. "Master!"

"Let's go." The old woman looked at the workers in the fence and shook her head.

"But Master, they are destroying the dragon of the Tang Dynasty...""Master's teachings, have you forgotten again?" The old woman stared at the woman with a serious expression, and the woman immediately lowered her head. "Oh, I know."

The old woman walked ahead, and the young woman followed unhurriedly with her head bowed and pouted, looking back from time to time. "Yaoyao, I'm sorry." The woman muttered to herself.

………

When Li You woke up, it was already dawn.

Yesterday, because of Wei Zhuang's incident, Li You couldn't sleep because of Wei Zhuang's incident, so that he actually slept at this time, but at this time, when he thought of Wei Zhuang's incident, his heart was still depressed.

Get up!

The jury is still out at this point!

Li You turned over and sat on the edge of the bed, just about to yawn, but immediately stayed where he was.

In front of the bookcase across the bed, a young woman was staring at her with her chin in her hands.

What a fairy-like woman!

This woman is seventeen or eighteen years old, with bright eyebrows and beautiful eyes, a pair of eyes revealing a spirit of beauty, a slender and straight nose, ruddy and thin lips, and a long black hair, like a mortal fairy, which makes people feel kind, fresh and pretty.

Li You was stunned for a while.

When the woman saw Li You looking at her stupidly, she didn't even care, but looked at Li You with more interest.

The two just stared at each other, and neither of them said a word.

"Hey, are you tired of watching?" Eventually, the woman spoke first. Li You immediately noticed his embarrassment and hurriedly twisted his head to the side, but he still couldn't help but look at it again.

"Hehe, I'm good-looking, right?" This woman's question made Li You feel even more embarrassed, but she didn't seem to care at all. "You're pretty handsome, but you're too lazy to get up at this time."

"Girl, may I ask who you are, how did you come to my bedroom...""My name is Ouyang Yan, and I am your cousin." Ouyang Yan didn't wait for Li You to finish speaking, and replied directly. "It's good that you're not an ugly bastard, so you can worry about one less thing now."

"Huh?" Li You couldn't understand what Ouyang Yan was talking about at all.

"Isn't it fashionable for a cousin to marry a cousin now?" Ouyang Yan had a natural expression. "If you're an ugly bastard, and I have to marry you, it won't be a big headache. Since you're pretty handsome, then marrying you will marry you, so I don't have to worry about it anymore. ”

"Aren't you Gaotao's apprentice? You can't understand such clear logic? Ouyang Yan frowned. Get up, the sun is about to set. Ouyang Yan shook off such a sentence, got up and walked out.

Ouyang Yan? Cousin? According to the name and her description, she should be Ouyang Jian's sister, but what the hell is that logical and clear set of words that she claimed just now? What kind of logic is that?

The more Li You thought about it, the more funny he felt, so he hurriedly got dressed and ran out of the bedroom.

A cousin just appeared, and another cousin suddenly appeared, so it is possible that another cousin will appear every two days!

………

Li You came to the main hall after washing, and Li Tian was being amused to laugh. Li You raised his eyes and saw Ouyang Jian, Ouyang Yan and Wang Miao sitting around Li Tian's side. Although Ouyang Jian was by his side, Wang Miao's interest seemed to be quite high today, and he was talking about something with his eyebrows fluttering.

Li You walked straight to Li Tian's side and saluted Li Tian's fist. "Mother, the child greets you."

"Okay, okay, sit down." Li Tian was obviously in a very good mood. "You'er, let me introduce you, this is Jian'er's sister Yanyan, Yanyan, this is..."

"Auntie, my niece went to see my cousin just now." Ouyang Yan looked at Li You with a smile. "My cousin hasn't gotten up yet."

"Haha." Li You was embarrassed when he heard this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, but Wang Miao laughed heartlessly. Li You glared at Wang Miao, and Wang Miao hurriedly closed his mouth.

"Auntie, my cousin is very good-looking, but he is lazy." Ouyang Yan looked at Li Tian's family, and the grievances in Li You's heart were not to mention. I worked hard all day to handle the case, and it was rare to get up late one day, and I ended up lazy. "If my niece makes you a daughter-in-law, she will definitely cure him well."

Yes!

As soon as these words came out, not only Li You, but also Li Tian, Wang Miao, and Ouyang Jian all opened their mouths wide, unable to digest Ouyang Yan's words for a while.

"Haha, that's good." Li Tian looked at Ouyang Yan's handsome and beautiful face, thinking that Li You was in his twenties and had not yet decided on a family affair, so he felt that it was not bad to have such a stupid daughter-in-law. "You'er, my mother agreed, can you agree?"

"Uh..." Li You was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

"Hikohiko, nonsense!" Ouyang Jian finally couldn't stand it anymore and glared at Ouyang Yan angrily. "Auntie, virtuous brother, my sister went to the mountain to practice with the master at the age of ten, and she only came to the mountain recently, she knows very little about the world, you don't have the same knowledge as her."

"Brother, you hate it!" Ouyang Yan pouted when he heard this. "Auntie, people really want to be your daughter-in-law, do you see that you are in love?" After Ouyang Yan finished speaking, he actually stood up, turned his body in front of Li Tian's clan, and showed a sweet smile.

is a fairy-like character, but now it is deliberately displayed, and it looks even more beautiful, which is heart-pounding. Although he still spoke out of tune, Li You was still stunned.

"Okay, okay, haha." Li Tian peeked at Li You and laughed.

"Then it's decided." Ouyang Yan smiled like a peach blossom. "Then you have to give your daughter-in-law a token." Ouyang Yan said, staring at the hosta on Li Tian's head. "Auntie, your hosta is so beautiful!"

"Hikohiko!" Ouyang Jian was shocked when he heard this. "Don't mess around!"

"Hehe, Yanyan, I can't give you this hosta." Li Tian still had a smile on his face, and he didn't take the strange behavior of Ouyang Jian's brother and sister to heart. "I have a jade bracelet here, do you think it's good?" Li Tian rolled up his sleeves, revealing a crystal clear jade bracelet.

"Don't." Ouyang Yan shook his head, turned around and walked back to his seat.

Li You saw everything in his eyes, and couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at the hosta on Li Tian's head. This hosta is a favorite of my mother, and my mother has always carried it on her head since she can remember. Now looking at Ouyang Yan's actions, the purpose of her initiative to make a marriage contract with herself is actually for this hosta. And when it comes to hostas, Ouyang Jian's reaction is also so huge. Could it be that this hosta is something very important? In addition, every time Ouyang Jian came back from going out, no matter how late it was, he would impatiently ask his mother for peace, was it not out of filial piety, but to confirm whether the hosta was safe and sound?

The more Li You pondered, the more suspicious he felt, and he couldn't help but start to look at Ouyang Jian's brother and sister again, Ouyang Jian should have felt Li You's gaze, and glanced back at Li You, his face was full of guilt, and Li You was even more sure of his thoughts.

It seems that I have to find a chance to have a good talk with this cousin who suddenly appeared.

………

Li You left the mansion with Wang Miao.

"Childe, where are we going?" Wang Miao looked at Li You puzzled.

"Investigate the case!" Li You thought about Ouyang Jian's brothers and sisters, and he was still a little unhappy in his heart. Wang Miao also understood that Li You was in a bad mood, so he followed behind him honestly.

The two walked for more than 30 minutes, and came to Lingang Lane again, where Li You stopped in front of a shop.

The shop has only two floors, but the decoration is magnificent, especially the front wall at the entrance, which is made of green bricks, painted with gold powder, and the upper part is covered with glazed tiles, with the word "cash cabinet" embedded in the middle. These two words are flying and phoenix dancing, and they are magnificent, obviously from the hands of famous artists. At the door of the store stood two big men with horizontal faces, looking coldly at passers-by.

Li You stood at the door of the shop and looked at it, then raised his leg and walked inside, and Wang Miao hurriedly followed.

The two people at the door had already noticed Li You and the others, and when they saw Li You raising his legs, they walked in, and immediately spoke out to stop them. "What the hell!"

"Save money!" Li You glanced at Wang Miao, and Wang Miao immediately understood, and walked quickly in front of Li You. The two of them at the door stretched out their hands to stop them, Wang Miao got Li You's order, so what was polite, he stretched out his hand and pushed.

Bang! Before the two guards could react, the man had already flown into the door and sat down on the ground.

"When you talk about saving money, you still block it!" Li You didn't look at the two of them, and walked straight inside. Wang Miao complained to the two guards as he walked. The two emons were still in a dream, not knowing what had happened.

Li You walked into the store and walked straight to the counter. At this time, there were no other customers in the store, and several guys were taking inventory of the accounts, and when they saw Li You and the others coming in, they immediately showed a surprised look.

"Excuse me, what is the matter?" A man who looked like a shopkeeper walked up.

"Is your shopkeeper here?" Li You asked directly.

"What are you doing when you are looking for a shopkeeper?" Seeing that Li You and the others were not good, this person made a look at the people around him and opened his mouth to ask, and the people around him hurriedly walked to the inner room.

"Business." Li You saw that the other party paid enough attention, so he showed his hole cards. "This official is Li You, the county magistrate of Shengtang County, and I need to confirm with the owner of your Linghu shop on official business."

When the other party heard this, he immediately changed his expression, and nodded at Li You while smiling. "I said how to look familiar to you, it was Master Li who arrived. Sun Sen, the treasurer of the next big store, is the cousin of your subordinate Sun Lei. ”

"Oh?" Li You secretly sighed. This small county government is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, with dense eyeliner, Sun Lei, who is usually not very inconspicuous, has such a relationship with the cash cabinet, and this money cabinet is still the property of the Linghu family. "In that case, then ask Shopkeeper Sun to inform the owner of Linghu."

"The little one has already been informed, Lord Li, please come with me." After Sun Sen finished speaking, he turned sideways and let Li You go first. Li You was also not polite, took Wang Miao with him, and walked straight to the inner room. Sun Sen followed Li You to lead the way.

The three of them entered the inner room, Li You was relegated to the guest of honor, and Wang Miao stood beside Li You with a vigilant face.

Sun Sen served tea to Li You, and talked with Li You for a while without saying a word, and a middle-aged man walked out of the bedroom with a pace. After Sun Sen saw it, he hurriedly stood up. "Sir, you're up."

"Hmm." The man nodded at Sun Sen, raised his eyes to look at Li You again, and then paced to the upper position, picked up his clothes and sat down.

Li You sipped tea while peeking at this person. This man was fat, with a face full of flesh, small eyes that shone brightly, and he would rub his nose with his hands every once in a while, and he was obviously a very thoughtful man.

Li You saw that the other party didn't speak, and he was just concentrating on drinking tea, and the scene immediately cooled down. Sun Sen stood aside, looking left and right, a little at a loss for a while.

"Master Li, you're a rare guest." After a while, the man looked up at Li You and finally spoke. "I've seen adults when I ordered the fox." Ling Fox said politely, but his body did not move.

"Hello, Mr. Linghu." Li You didn't care at all. "Although Li is an official, his family is not wealthy, so naturally he has no chance to visit your store."

"Hehe, are you blaming us for this?" The man raised his eyes to look at Li You. "Then I don't know what Lord Li is visiting today, what is the so-called matter?"

"Mr. Linghu, have you heard about the case of one death and three deaths in the county recently?" Li You stared at Ling Huyu's face tightly.

Ling Huyu smiled and raised his eyes to look at Li You. "But Zhao Wu and his two brothers-in-law were bizarrely killed?"

"Not bad."

"I've heard Shopkeeper Sun mention it." Ling Huyu looked at Sun Sen, and Sun Sen hurriedly explained. "Once when I was having wine with Sun Lei, Sun Lei told the villain about the case, and the villain felt that it was novel, so he told our master."

"Since Mr. Linghu has heard about it, then the official doesn't need to explain too much." Li You nodded to Sun Sen. "Ling Ai drowned two years ago, but Zhao Wuwei handled the white thing?"

"Not bad." Ling Huyu replied very simply. "What? Is there anything wrong? ”

mentioned that his daughter drowned, so that Hu Yu had no sad reaction at all, which surprised Li You. "Ling Ai is Mr. Ling Hu's only daughter."

"Well, that's true." Ling Huyu looked at Li You, still expressionless.

"During this time, has Mr. Linghu ever left Shengtang County?" Li You continued to ask, which made Ling Huyu frown. "Your Excellency, are you suspicious of me?"

"It's just routine." Li You is also not polite.

"Huh." Ling Hu Yu showed a sneer. "Do you know who I am?"

"I know a little bit about it." Li You was blunt.

"If you know, you should understand the consequences." Seeing that Li You's attitude had not changed, Ling Hu immediately showed an angry look. "Another day, when my cousin Ling Hulu and I are drinking, should I tell him about today's events?"

Ling Hu is the son of the prime minister of the current dynasty, although he is a cloth cloth, but under the pampering of Ling Hu, he can actually carry out the imperial examination admission, official appointment and dismissal, and is known as the "white-clothed prime minister" among the people.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Li You was unmoved. "As long as Mr. Linghu can truthfully answer the official's questions."

"Humph!" Seeing that Li You didn't give face, Ling Huyu immediately pulled his face down, but his eyes rolled, and he didn't have a seizure in the end. "I made the Fox family's business all over Datang, and I naturally left Shengtang County during this time, I don't know what's wrong?"

"Have you ever been to Yangzhou?" Li You continued to ask.

"Yangzhou?" Ling Huyu reached out and touched his nose, his eyes flickering a few times. "Nope!"

"Really?" Li You saw Ling Huyu's hesitation and asked again.

"It's not true." Ling Fox's brows furrowed. "Master Li, if there is nothing else to do, there are still things to deal with in the future, so I won't accompany you." After Ling Huyu finished speaking, without waiting for Li You to speak, he got up and walked to the bedroom.

"Mr. Linghu, what you love is a golden hairpin?" Li You asked coldly and suddenly.

"Golden hairpins?" Ling Huzhen, who was about to walk to the door of the bedroom, stopped and looked back at Li You. "Everyone in the world regards jade as beauty, who will love what golden hairpin." After Ling Huyu finished speaking, he walked into the bedroom with his legs raised.

Li You couldn't help but sigh. Although this makes the fox have something to hide, there is really not much suspicion.

Li You couldn't help but think of Wei Zhuang again, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.
