Chapter 1: Beginnings
Jinling ten miles of Qinhuai, Lanyue Tower.
Li Xuan was woken up early in the morning by the violent knocking on the door outside, and then the sequelae of hangover followed, his stomach turned upside down, his limbs were tired and weak, and there seemed to be a thousand gongs and drums ringing in his head, which made Li Xuan's headache so bad that he was about to burst.
At this moment, he forgot who he was, and subconsciously touched his mobile phone at the head of the bed and on his body. It wasn't until a few seconds later that Li Xuan remembered that there was no such thing as a mobile phone in this world, and he was no longer in that modern world.
His current identity is Li Xuan Li Qianzhi, the second son of the Great Jin Sincerity Bofu, and today is the tenth day he has come to this world.
"Humility!"
The knocking on the door outside became more intense, and at the same time, a loud voice came in: "How long are you going to sleep? If you don't go back, be careful that your father will punish you for kneeling in the ancestral hall." ”
Li Xuan's heart froze, and then he got up very quickly, he didn't even care about washing, and hurriedly tidied up his clothes a few times before pushing the door out.
Waiting outside the door were his two former friends, Zhang Yue and Zhang Taishan, the second son of Huaiyuanbo, and Peng Fulai, the eldest son of the wealthy Peng family in Yangzhou. The former is eight feet tall, with a powerful and masculine face, and his body is also full of solid tendon muscles, which is extremely strong.
The latter is a little fat man who is less than 1.6 meters, with fat meat up and down, and it looks like a rolling ball of meat when he walks around.
The two of them were obviously startled by Li Xuan, whose face was as pale as paper, Zhang Taishan took a closer look at him, and then sneered: "If I hadn't known that you didn't have anyone in the room last night, I would have thought you would have ****." ”
"Get out!"
Li Xuan scolded angrily, and then pressed his fingers weakly on his brain: "Don't mess with me, I accidentally drank too much yellow soup and had a headache." ”
"But why are you drinking so much?"
Peng Fulai asked with a smile like Maitreya Buddha: "We finally ran out, isn't it just to sleep with women? But you are good, yesterday you only cared about drinking, where can you not drink this wine? I saw that yesterday there were two girls who were eager to stick to you." ”
There wasn't it before, but recently Li Xuan seems to have grown completely, his facial features have become more and more handsome, and he has a little more elegance from nowhere, and his words and conversations have become polite, humorous and interesting.
Li Xuan smiled awkwardly when he heard this, and did not make an excuse.
He is an innocent straight man in the new era, where can he stand this fireworks battle? It is impossible for him to be interested in the women of this place.
If it weren't for the fear that he wouldn't be able to behave too unusually after crossing over, he wouldn't want to come along.
Originally, Li Xuan made up his mind to pretend to be drunk, but after three bowls of wine, he remembered everything he had in that era, and then he couldn't control himself to use wine to kill his sorrows.
It's also to blame that the alcohol content in this world is too low, and if you don't pay attention, you will drink high.
Zhang Taishan glared at him with disdain, "In the end, you are too empty!"
He patted his chest and said with a red face: "Look at me, after nine hours in one night, I am still alive." ”
Peng Fulai also smiled 'hey': "My son bowed slightly, and it was only seven times a night." ”
His voice paused, and he smacked his lips full of aftertaste: "Wei Xingshou of our family, don't look at her thin and weak, as if she is weak and willow supporting the wind, but the clothes are unexpectedly material, delicate fit, rich and symmetrical, in short, the feel is excellent, which makes me greatly increase my combat power!"
Li Xuan looked disgusted: "Okay, don't blow it here with me, if you don't want to be beaten, leave quickly." ”
When they said this, they had already gone down to the second floor of the 'Lanyue Tower'.
At this time, the expressions of the three of them were slightly stunned, and they saw that a large number of officials suddenly flocked to the window bar, blocking the inside and outside of this moon building.
There were also a few dissatisfied prostitutes whose heads were smashed by the scabbards of these servants, which also caused the girls in the building to scream.
"What's going on?"
"Is this who in the building committed the crime? Or is it hiding Jiang Yang's thief?"
Li Xuan was also stunned, as far as he knew, the background of this Lanyue Building was still very deep, and no one in the official mansion dared to disturb him. These officials of Ying Tianfu have eaten leopard gall today?
But then he saw behind the servants, followed by a donkey cart with the coffin.
In front of the donkey cart was a middle-aged knight wearing a purple trapping suit, a black coat, and a scar on his face. This person glanced up and down at Lanyue Tower, especially after seeing Li Xuan, his eyes condensed slightly, and then he got off his horse and strode into the lobby of Lanyue Tower.
At this time, there was already a catcher in the building who roared loudly: "Who is the old bustard? Get out of here!" and everyone in the building, all of them rushed to the lobby, and we were ordered by the Tianfu Ya to handle the case, and I had something to ask you. ”
Li Xuan glanced at the two people beside him, and they both saw a little sadness on each other's faces. Their way of leaving the house is very irregular, and if they delay here for too long, they are bound to end up in a bleak situation.
"Why don't you break out?" Zhang Taishan had a bad idea.
Li Xuan directly refused: "What are you breaking? That purple-clothed chief catcher is the iron courage Situ Zhong, this is a notoriously small temper. If we really dare to break through, he will definitely not be finished with us. ”
In the end, Zhang Taishan and Peng Fulai could only reluctantly follow Li Xuan to the lobby of Lanyue Tower, and not long after that, the coffin on the donkey cart was also carried in.
The coffin had no lid, and the scene inside made many people present involuntarily retreat, only a few strong men wearing domestic costumes, their faces pale and still standing in place.
Li Xuan also glanced inside the coffin, and when he saw a swollen figure inside, he was slightly stunned.
Although the face of this corpse was swollen and unshaped, he still recognized it, this was one of the famous gentlemen of Nanzhili, Cui Hongshu, the youngest son of the lord of Boping, who was the sworn enemy of his predecessor.
"About half an hour ago, there was a report from the painting boat, and they found the man's body two hundred feet downstream from Lanyue Tower. After identification, this person was Cui Hongshu, the son of Boling Shi. ”
Situ Zhong had already sat down at a round table: "Someone witnessed Cui Hongshu enter Lanyue Tower last night, I wonder if this is the truth? When did he leave?"
"My lord, last night Cui Gongzi drank until midnight in our Lanyue Building, because it was too late, so he stayed in the building all night. It was the old bustard of Lanyue Building, and her face was extremely ugly: "I arranged for him to be the fourth floor private room Ding room." ”
Situ Zhong nodded slightly: "So who did he have a conflict with in the building, or did he meet any enemies?"
The old bustard's breath stagnated, and he glanced at Li Xuan covertly.
Li Xuan is also very strange, under normal circumstances, Situ Zhong, as a veteran detective, should not ask this, unless he already knows the identity of the murderer, which makes him suddenly have a bad premonition in his heart.
At this time, a family member with a sword on his back had already stood up, and he pointed at Li Xuan angrily: "Mr. Situ, our son-in-law has a grudge against Li Xuan, and he also had a quarrel with Li Xuan in the building last night. ”
Situ Zhong immediately raised his eyebrows and locked his gaze on Li Xuan.
"After Li Lexing, the 'Yihan Divine Knife' who once froze the Huai River for three hundred miles, Li Xuan, the second son of the sincere uncle?
Where were you last night?
His gaze turned cold, like a blade: "Our work also found light red palm marks on his corpse, which is suspected to be injured by the cold palm technique, how can you explain it?"
Before Situ Zhong's words were finished, the crowd gathered in this hall was already in an uproar. Zhang Taishan and Peng Fulai next to him looked at Li Xuan with stunned eyes at the same time, and those pale faces also glared at Li Xuan angrily.
Li Xuan was even more at a loss, the family heirloom martial arts 'Cold Breath Fierce Palm' of the Sincere Bofu is one of the world's famous cold palms, and it is unique to pass on the son but not the daughter.
The conversion of ugly time to modern time is from 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. But last night at eleven o'clock, he was already drunk and unconscious.
"Can't answer, do you?"
Situ Zhong's voice was like thunder: "Take it for me!"
