Xiao Ti originally planned to inquire about the Deng family in Luzhou first to see what outsiders said about the Deng family.

Who knew that they had just arrived in Luzhou not long ago, and they were targeted.

After Xiao Ti found out, he directly pulled out the stalker, and after asking, he learned that the other party was from the Deng family.

The four of them were already conspicuous, and when they were still inquiring about the Deng family, it was impossible for the people of the Deng family not to notice them.

Now that his whereabouts have been exposed, Xiao Ti simply came to visit directly.

Judging from the results of the current investigation, the position of the Deng family is unclear, just in case, Xiao Ti asked Luo Pingsha and Ling Hai to stay outside the mansion to respond, and he took the curling into the mansion to meet the head of the Deng family.

On the way here, Xiao Ti had already roughly introduced the situation of the Deng family to Yuan.

The Deng family is a famous family second only to the Wen family in the entire Dayan Dynasty, with a long history and profound heritage, and almost every generation of emperors will marry the Deng family.

Today's Empress Dowager Deng is from the Deng family.

And now the head of the family who is in charge of the entire Deng family is the elder brother of the Empress Dowager Deng, named Deng Yuchuan.

Deng Yuchuan was a military general when he was young, and he was stationed at the border for decades, and later because of his age, he returned to Luzhou after being disarmed.

The housekeeper led Yu Xuanxuan and Xiao Ti into the flower hall and served refreshments with a very respectful attitude.

"You two, please wait, I'll go and inform the master."

However, the butler never returned.

Until Yu Yuanxuan and Xiao Ti drank all the tea in the cup, they still didn't see Deng Yuchuan appear.

Yu Yuan pursed his lips: "It seems that people don't want to see us." ”

Xiao Ti stood up: "Let's go." ”

"Hmm."

As soon as the two of them walked to the door, they saw a group of people walking towards this side, and the leader of them was Deng Yuchuan.

He was already full of gray hair, and it could be seen that he should have been tall when he was young, but now he was old and frail, and his figure was inevitably a little rickety, and he walked slowly with a cane in one hand.

A young man held him up, lest he accidentally fall.

Deng Yuchuan's eyes were not very good, he squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while before he determined Xiao Ti's identity.

"Where are you going, Your Royal Highness?"

Xiao Ti said calmly: "We waited for a long time and didn't see anyone, thinking that Old Man Deng had something to do and didn't have time to see us, so we planned to visit another day." ”

When the young man next to Deng Yuchuan heard this, he was very unconvinced and opened his mouth to explain to his grandfather.

"My grandfather is old, not in good health, and has just contracted a cold these days.

The doctor originally didn't let him go out, so as not to suffer the wind.

But he still boured up to see you.

The speed is slower, and I hope His Royal Highness the King of the County will forgive me. ”

Deng Yuchuan motioned to the young man to say a few words, and then introduced to Xiao Ti.

"This child is my youngest grandson, named Lu Yun, who is spoiled by his family on weekdays and has a bit of a big temper, but his heart is very good, and I hope that His Royal Highness the King of the County will not be as knowledgeable as this child."

He is a child, if Xiao Ti really wants to deal with the other party, he will inevitably seem too petty.

Xiao Ti said lightly: "It's okay. ”

Deng Luyun helped his grandfather into the house and asked him to sit down in the main seat, and he was very patient the whole time.

It can be seen that this kid is really filial to his grandfather.

Deng Yuchuan noticed that the tea on the table was gone, and immediately asked Xiao Ti and Yu Yuan to change the tea.

Xiao Ti: "Don't bother, we just want to ask something this time, and we will leave after asking, so we can't delay too much time." ”

Deng Yuchuan behaved very well and spoke: "Although His Royal Highness the King of the County asks, I will definitely know everything." ”

Xiao Ti turned his head to look at the curly.

He took out the drawing paper from his sleeve, unfolded it and put it upright, so that Deng Yuchuan could clearly see the appearance of the woman in the painting.

"I wonder if Old Man Deng knows the person in the painting?"

Deng Yuchuan narrowed his eyes and stared at the young woman in the painting for a long time.

His expression did not change, and it was impossible to tell whether he knew it or not.

"I wonder where you got your portraits?"

Faced with his rhetorical question, Yu Yuanyuan immediately had a positive answer in his heart.

She replied calmly with a calm look on her face.

"I drew it myself."

Deng Yuchuan seemed a little surprised.

He stared at Yu Yuan for a while: "The princess of the county looks very young, how can she see the person in the painting?" ”

Yu Yuanyu: "In this way, the old man should know the person in the painting." ”

Deng Yuchuan neither admits nor denies it.

He retracted his gaze and said in a cold tone: "There is no need to mention the past, if His Royal Highness the County King and the County Princess are here today for the people in the painting, please forgive the old man for not being able to receive them." ”

After speaking, he picked up the tea cup in his hand.

This is the meaning of serving tea to guests.

Yu Yuanxuan was unwilling to give up, and took a step forward with the portrait and said.

"The person in the painting is named Li Niang, she was killed three months ago, and her body is placed in the Dharma Division.

If you know her, please tell us about her.

In this way, we can find out the truth, arrest the murderer, and give her justice! ”

Deng Yuchuan's hand holding the tea cup shook slightly, and the tea almost overflowed.

But soon he regained his composure and said with a blank face.

"Sending off!"

Without waiting for Yu Yuan to say anything, Deng Luyun began to drive people away.

"I have never seen the woman in the painting, she has nothing to do with our Deng family, please don't embarrass us anymore, princess. Butler, send-off! ”

The housekeeper immediately walked in and made a gesture of invitation to Yu Yuanxuan and Xiao Ti.

"Two distinguished guests, please go this way."

Yu Yuanyu glanced at Deng Yuchuan one last time, and saw that he ignored herself, even if she was unwilling, she could only leave with Xiao Ti.

As soon as he walked out of the gate of the Deng family, Yu Yuanxuan immediately said to Xiao Ti.

"Old Man Deng must know Li Niang!"

Although Old Man Deng didn't admit it, it could be seen from his reaction that there must be some kind of connection between him and Li Niang.

Xiao Ti soothed: "Don't worry, let's think of a way." ”

Luo Pingsha and Ling Hai, who had been waiting outside, walked over quickly.

They were all relieved to see that the king of Langjun and the princess of the county were safe and sound.

Seeing that it was not too early, Xiao Ti and his party went to find a nearby restaurant and discussed things while eating.

Yu Yuanxuan was very unwilling in his heart.

"Old Man Deng obviously knows Li Niang, and he pretends not to know, he must have a ghost in his heart!"

Luo Pingsha: "But he doesn't want to admit it, and we can't do anything about him." ”

As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, Luzhou is the territory of the Deng family, and their power here is extremely great, even if Xiao Ti is the king of Langjun, he can't directly move Deng Yuchuan without being completely sure.

Xiao Ti sandwiched a piece of braised deer tendon and said in a low voice.

"Let's eat first, and in the evening, I'll go to the Deng family to take a look around and see if I can find the genealogy of the Deng family."

If Li Niang is a member of the Deng family, she will definitely leave her name on the family tree.

Yu Yuan's eyes lit up, this is a good way!
