She'll take care of everything.

When they went to the dock the next day, the corpses were still stacked there, and Li Hanning was about to get on the boat to check the scene of the crime, but the officers and soldiers guarding there stepped forward to stop her:

"You can't just come in here."

Li Hanning immediately showed them the token in his hand:

"This is the golden order of His Royal Highness King Ming, do you want to stop it again?"

Those soldiers saw that the token was real, you look at me, I will see, after hesitating, they still didn't dare to step forward, so they took a step back.

They can't afford to offend Xiao Ce, and now no one in the entire Luoyang City dares to offend His Royal Highness King Ming, so they can only give Li Hanning concessions now.

"Girl, please—"

When Li Hanning got on the boat and couldn't hear them talking from a distance, the guards on the side lowered their voices:

"Didn't King Ming just go back to Luoyang yesterday? How did you find out so quickly? ”

"I don't know, do you want to report it quickly?"

The other guard thought for a moment, and then quickly added, "You just stay here and see what she can find, and I'll send the message right away." ”

Li Hanning's side, standing on the board she is most familiar with, the blood stains here seem to have been washed with buckets overnight, but the smell of blood that has penetrated between the wooden boards has not yet dissipated, especially now that the sun is shining, it is still permeated with mottled blood stains. Mosquitoes on this side of the river seemed to have smelled the smell, flying around the boards and the corpses piled up on the riverbank.

The scene of the crime here is exactly the same as what Chu Zhou described last night, Li Hanning has been on the battlefield all these years, and such blood stains can only appear in places that resemble indiscriminate massacres.

Those people were innocent, and the only people who could come to work as shipwrights were ordinary people who were trying to feed their families for money.

Li Hanning thought of this, and couldn't help frowning, they have been fighting bloodily on the battlefield for so many years, aren't they protecting such a person?

But in the end, the officers and soldiers of Luoyang killed so many civilians, what is the difference between them and the enemy they have always risked their lives on the battlefield to resist? It's kind of ironic.

Li Hanning walked to the place where the goods were stored, and found that the smuggling officials were still hiding in the bamboo poles used to pick up the goods, and no one had touched them for the time being, that is to say, as long as they saw the ship, they would definitely be able to find those who came to pick up the goods, unless they gave up these smuggled things, it would also be a big loss for them.

Or she could pretend she didn't see it and wait for them to pick it up, with the praying mantis catching the cicada and the yellow finch behind.

Li Hanning returned to the board, and condescendingly saw from a distance that a familiar figure was from far and near, it was Xue Rui, and they actually invited him.

Li Hanning thought for a while, although she didn't want to meet him head-on at this time at all, but after all, it was on a boat, and it seemed that there was no way to avoid it.

The guards guarding the shore here saw Xue Rui walking slowly towards here, and hurriedly greeted him as if he had seen a savior, and did not forget to complain:

"General Xue, the girl who came before, with the token of His Royal Highness King Ming, has already been searched on the boat, this is not in accordance with the rules, the matter of smuggling has been clearly ascertained, and the smuggling person has also been corrected on the spot, even if it is His Royal Highness King Ming, he can't violate the law of Luoyang and send people up to search without authorization."

Xue Rui glanced at the guards who reported on the side expressionlessly, even Xiao Ce, who had just returned to Luoyang, knew what was going on here, they had been guarding the side of the ship, could they not see that there was something wrong with the ship?

Xue Rui was a little too lazy to talk nonsense with them in this matter, and he didn't plan to raise his eyes:

"You said it was a girl holding the token of His Royal Highness King Ming?"

The guard in front of him reluctantly recalled the appearance of Li Hanning when he walked over just now, and then replied truthfully:

"Yes, General, I have carefully checked it, and the token is indeed His Royal Highness King Ming, so I don't dare to stop it."

Xue Rui knew immediately that it should be Li Hanning, who often stayed by Xiao Ce's side, she was a person that Xiao Ce valued, and she was able to come to investigate the case on the ship, so she naturally obtained Xiao Ce's permission, it seems that King Ming attaches great importance to the case of the official ship.

In this way, he must also be ahead of others, whether this matter is really related to their Xue family.

Thinking of this, Xue Rui asked quietly, "Is she still on the ship now?" ”

The guard on the side hurriedly responded: "Yes." ”

Xue Rui looked up at the hundred-foot-high ship moored on the dock not far away, and under the sun, the sails of the ship seemed to be flowing on the surface of the river.

He's the one who will meet this opportunity for a while, and the person on the side of King Xiao Ce.

When Xue Rui walked to the board, he was looking at Li Hanning standing at the tuyere with his back to him, looking down at the river not far away.

didn't bother her, just slowly walked in the direction where she was, Li Hanning heard the footsteps behind her from far and near, but she already knew who it was, so naturally she didn't look back.

Xue Rui was not surprised, he stood almost side by side with her, and asked, "Is General Li enjoying the scenery on the river here?" ”

The scenery here is indeed good, but she doesn't have the mood to appreciate the scenery, Li Hanning slowly turned around and glanced at Xue Rui beside her:

"General Xue Xiao laughed, although I am not as busy as the general who usually inspects Luoyang's public security and official duties, but I am not idle to this role."

Xue Rui's eyes widened immediately when he saw her, Li Han and Li Hanning turned out to be the same person, no wonder she had such good skills, no wonder Li Hanning would meddle in the case of the official ship at this time, Li Hanning was Xiao Ce's person, she would appear on the ship as a boatman, and naturally she couldn't escape Xiao Ce's handwriting, it turned out that Xiao Ce noticed the smuggling here from the beginning.

Li Hanning seemed to see Xue Rui's surprise: "General Xue was surprised to see me?" ”

Xue Rui was shocked, but quickly came to his senses: "It's very surprising that the main generals of the three armies are willing to deign to be a shipwright on an ordinary cargo ship, but I really didn't expect it." ”

At that time, he also reminded Chuzhou to be careful of this person, but although he guessed correctly that Li Hanning was not an ordinary person at that time, he did not associate her with Li Hanning's identity, and there was only a one-word difference between their names, and what was even more ridiculous was that Xue Rui was angry with her because of Chuzhou's death that night, and almost killed her, a court official, with a sword.

Li Hanning was naturally not surprised by Xue Rui's hostility towards her.

Li Hanning said in a deep voice to the person in front of him: "You probably don't know that he is not dead in Chuzhou, he is still alive." ”

Xue Rui still knew the news that surprised him one after another today:

"What did you say?"

Li Hanning knew that this matter sounded a little surprising, and it was reasonable for Xue Rui not to believe it for a while, and then explained to the person in front of him:

"He's still alive, I don't have to lie to you in this matter, he's your friend, and it's mine, I saw him on the streets of Luoyang City last night, and he borrowed the house of someone living in the west of the city, and he was lucky, when those officers and soldiers went to the boat, he jumped into the river because he was lucky enough to survive."

Xue Rui also knew that there was no need for him to lie about this matter, it was good that the fool was still alive, at least he was not involved in this matter, if this whole thing was really related to the Xue family, at least their family's sins would be one less one.

Li Hanning glanced at Xue Rui and looked at him thoughtfully, but the fact that he was able to come here today also explained something.

Li Hanning turned to look at the sparkling river in front of him, the scenery outside Luoyang City, comparable to the endless rivers in the north of the desert and southern Xinjiang, but there are complicated people's hearts everywhere, so that people don't have much time and mood to look at the beautiful scenery in front of them for no reason.

Li Hanning suddenly spoke: "Let's cooperate." ”

Xue Rui asked knowingly, "What did General Li say?" ”

Li Hanning said: "I'm talking about the case of the official ship. ”

Xue Rui smiled self-deprecatingly: "Has General Li forgotten that my surname is Xue, I am a member of the Xue family, why should I help you, and help His Royal Highness King Ming behind you to investigate this case?" ”

Li Hanning said in a deep voice: "You will, if you don't want to, you won't appear on this ship at the beginning, but that night I saw you disguised as a man in black and went to the warehouse, and I knew that you and those people surnamed Xue were not all the way, although Xue Xiang is your father, but you can't decide your own origin, people like you won't watch the Xue family sink deeper and deeper into the quagmire." ”

Until I can't turn back.

Xue Rui, whom Li Hanning knows, is a person who is smarter than his father Xue Xiangdu and has a more long-term vision.

The Xue family chose the crown prince Xiao Sheng, they made the wrong choice at the beginning, and now they are involved in the smuggling case, they will definitely find out about this matter, and now it seems that the Xue family, who has always been majestic in Luoyang City, has gone further and further on the road of deviance.

Li Hanning said what Xue Rui was thinking, but he still didn't want to admit it.

Xue Rui opened his mouth and asked, "What if this case is really related to my Xue family in the end?" ”

Li Hanning looked at Xue Rui's eyes in front of him and promised:

"I will find a way to save your father's life, General Xue, don't forget, I have a gold medal in my hand that His Majesty gave me to avoid death."

Xue Rui knew that Li Hanning's words were Xiao Ce's words, if this matter was really related to their Xue family in the end, he could at least save his father's life through this method.

Although he often quarreled with his father, and he couldn't get used to his practices as prime minister, but no matter what, there was a father-son blood relationship between them after all, even at the last moment, even if it was pointed out by Qianfu, Xue Rui didn't want his father to really have an accident.

Xue Rui's gaze met Li Hanning's gaze, his eyes were full of young people, fearless sharp, Li Hanning heard him speak:

"Then it's a deal."
