Chapter 159: A Glimpse of the Heavenly Opportunity
Li Zhiyun has only been in Qizhou for a few days, and there are still no clues in the letter plot case, and now there is another authentic murder case, which can't help but make him a little anxious. Someone dug a tunnel to assassinate a general with a heavy army, and Li Zhiyun could certainly weigh the seriousness of this matter. It seems that everything is more complicated than he originally imagined, and this trip to the muddy waters in Qizhou City is really not shallow!
After breakfast, Li Zhiyun sat in front of the desk and meditated. He carefully combed through the events of the past few days, hoping to find some useful clues. At this time, Zhang Zheng walked in and said, "Lord Wang, Miss Dou is here with her mother, and they want to see you." Li Zhiyun stood up and said, "Let them in." Zhang Zheng agreed, turned around and went out.
Li Zhiyun waited in the living room. After a while, Miss Dou walked in with a woman in her forties. Mrs. Dou's face was a little puffy, her face was pale, and her body seemed to be very weak. After the mother and daughter met, Li Zhiyun hurriedly gave up his seat and asked the guards to serve fragrant tea.
After Miss Dou sat down, she looked at him and said, "King Chu, my mother and I came to you today to ask me about Abba's case, did you find out that my Abba was framed?" ”
Li Zhiyun shook his head, a little apologetically: "Not yet." Mrs. Dou said: "Lord Wang, my lord has read the books of sages and sages, and has always been based on loyalty and righteousness, how could he rebel?" It must have been insulted by someone else......" she said, coughing violently and gasping for air. When Miss Dou saw it, she quickly stood up and walked to her mother's side and gently helped her beat her back.
Seeing that Mrs. Dou was relieved, Li Zhiyun was concerned: "Madam, are you okay?" Mrs. Dou sighed and said, "Don't hide it from the prince, since the old man was arrested and put in prison, I have fallen ill, and it doesn't matter how much medicine I take." I'm worried about my lord, if he has any three long and two short, how can I live? Lord, I beg you, you must help our lord clear up his grievances, I will kneel down for you......" Mrs. Dou said and stood up and knelt down for Li Zhiyun.
Li Zhiyun hurriedly stood up, stepped forward to help her up, and said, "Madam, don't do this!" Don't worry, I will definitely try my best to ......" Then, Li Zhiyun said many comforting words before persuading the mother and daughter to leave.
Li Zhiyun came to Qizhou, in addition to handling cases, he was also taking care of business matters. Now, the opening of a money house, inn and wine shop in Qizhou City has almost been implemented, and Liu Hong left two shopkeepers and returned to Chang'an with the others.
However, there has been no progress on the case. Li Zhiyun thought about it, but he couldn't figure it out. Seeing that the time passed day by day, he couldn't help but feel depressed and restless, and he couldn't even carry out the nap habit that he had always insisted on. Because, he couldn't sleep when he lay there.
Li Zhiyun climbed up from the bed, found the letter, and came to the living room. There was an Arhat bed under the west window, and he took a pillow and walked over, put the pillow on the armrest, and then lay down on the Arhat bed, looking at the letter in his hand. However, his gaze was vain, and he did not see a word. His mind is like a warehouse full of all kinds of miscellaneous things, and he can't figure it out.
I don't know how long it took, but the tiredness gradually hit, and the eyelids became as heavy as the door. Last night, because he was thinking about the case, he barely slept all night, and now he was sleepy, and he actually snored. As soon as he let go of his fingers, the letter fell to the ground.
After a while, Liu Yinglian walked in. In order to accompany Li Zhiyun, she did not return to Chang'an with Abba. Liu Yinglian saw Li Zhiyun lying there asleep, and wanted to walk over, but unexpectedly knocked over a bench.
The sound woke Li Zhiyun, and he opened his eyes. Liu Yinglian picked up the bench, walked over and said, "In broad daylight, why are you sleeping?" Li Zhiyun looked at her in confusion and said, "What time is it?" Liu Yinglian smiled: "It's not early, the sun is drying your buttocks!" As soon as she looked down, she found the letter on the ground, and went over and bent down to pick it up.
Li Zhiyun found that the letter in his hand was gone, and hurriedly said, "Give it to me quickly, that letter is very important." Liu Yinglian glanced at it and said, "I know it's important, and I still throw it around." With that, he threw the letter into his arms.
At this time, a ray of sunlight came in from the window, which happened to shine on Li Zhiyun's face, stabbing him so that he couldn't open his eyes. Li Zhiyun picked up the letter and covered it on his face, wanting to block out the sun. At this moment, he suddenly saw a slight gap between the words on the letter.
Li Zhiyun was startled, and hurriedly got up from the Luohan bed and looked at the letter to the sun. Sure enough, there are gaps between each word. The gaps were so small that they could not be seen if the letter was flattened, but could only be found when they were picked up and looked into the sun.
I see! Li Zhiyun folded the letter and put it in his sleeve, walked in front of Liu Yinglian, grabbed her shoulders with both hands, and excitedly said: "Great, I finally found it!" Liu Yinglian was puzzled: "What did you find?" Li Zhiyun didn't answer, but walked to the door and said to the guards on duty outside the door: "Go and call Zhang Zheng quickly." The guard agreed, turned and walked away.
After a while, Zhang Zheng walked in. Li Zhiyun ordered: "You immediately send a few people to monitor the lord Bo Zhang Gui to see who he is dealing with." Remember, don't let him find out. Zhang Zheng hugged his fists and said: "Obey!" ”
There is a street in the southeast of Qizhou City, the street is full of people all day long, bustling, the roadside restaurant is next to the brothel, the gambling house is adjacent to the Goolan area, and the needs of people to eat, drink and have fun can be met on this street.
On the morning of this day, a man walked out of the gate with a plaque of "Spring Rain Building" and walked down the street with his arms shaking. Obviously, he had spent all his money in the gold nest, and he was shy at this point.
The man left the street, turned several corners, and came to the entrance of the barracks. He stood under a large tree, his eyes staring at the barracks gate without blinking. Soldiers in military uniforms came in and out, and suddenly, a familiar figure came into his eyes, and the man suddenly became excited.
The soldier walked out of the barracks and walked along the street. The man quietly followed him. The military man walked for a while, felt that someone was following him, turned his head to look, and found that a thin man was following him not far away.
The soldier stopped, and when the man approached, he glared and said, "Why are you following me?" The man glanced at the pedestrian next to him, and said quite mysteriously: "Master Bing, please take a step to speak." The soldier followed the man to a nearby alley with a puzzled face. The alley was long, but there was no one in it.
The military man stared at the man and said, "What do you want to tell me?" The man glanced at both ends of the alley, lowered his voice and said, "Master Bing, a few days ago, there was a murder in General Chang's house. You don't know that a maid was killed, right? ”
"So what?" Junhan didn't know what the other party wanted to say.
"Someone dug a tunnel in the Guandi Temple next to Changfu," the man said as soon as he opened his mouth, and the corners of his mouth smirked, "This matter happened to be discovered by me, and your old man seems to be unable to get out of it, right?" ”
When the military man heard this, he was taken aback, and his eyes suddenly widened. He was silent for a long time before he said, "What's your name?" ”
"Everyone else calls me Li Er, what's wrong?"
Li Er has been idle since he was a child, and when he was a teenager, he learned the skill of flying eaves and walking on the wall from others, and since then he has been doing the business of stealing chickens and touching dogs. He stole money and went to eat and drink on that street. Like all thieves, Li Er was a night owl, and one night he was about to go to a large family's house to attack, when he passed by the Guandi Temple, he suddenly heard a sound from inside. Li Er saw that the temple door was closed, and wondered in his heart, where must it be a thief who hid in the temple to share the spoils after he succeeded. Li Er couldn't help but be furious, Qizhou City was his territory, wasn't this snatching food from his mouth? No, he'll have to see where the thief came from.
Li Er used his housekeeping skills, jumped on the roof, stepped lightly on the tiles and walked to the side of the ridge, squatted down to probe his brain below. I saw that in the courtyard of the temple, several people were busy, and they were carrying soil from a hole. Li Er didn't know what they were doing at first, but then finally understood that they were digging tunnels. And the leader of this gang, Li Er, happened to know, he was an officer in the barracks. The reason why Li Er knew him was because he got drunk in a restaurant more than ten days ago, and not only did he not pay for the wine, but he also beat the shopkeeper. At that time, Li Er happened to be there.
A few days later, Li Er heard from others that someone had infiltrated Changfu late at night and killed a maid. He thought of the people who were digging tunnels, so he went to the gate of the barracks and waited, and today he finally waited for the person he was looking for.
Jun Han stared at Li Er and said, "What do you want to do?" Li Er said proudly: "You dug a tunnel to General Chang's mansion, it will never be to kill a girl, right?" If I tell General Chang about this, according to his temper, you will know the consequences. ”
Jun Han hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Don't say it, I know what you want." With that, he took out a golden hairpin from his bosom and handed it over. Li Er took the golden hairpin, weighed it in his palm, and said, "Just this hairpin, don't try to block my mouth." ”
"And how much do you want?"
"At least three gold bars." Li Er stretched out three fingers.
The military man was silent for a while, then nodded, "Okay." But you'll have to give me some time. Li Er squinted at him and said, "How long will you have to wait?" The military man thought for a while and said, "Three days." Three days later, we met at Bichi Garden. ”
"Well, I'll wait for you in three days' time. If you don't count, don't blame me for being rude! Li Eryu said threateningly.
