Section 363: Night trial of Master Liu
As the sun set and the moon slanted, the blue sky lost too much light and gradually became deeper, until the stars hung in the sky, and the twinkling stars re-adorned the night.
When the lights are on, the sunset welcomes people!
The people in Dali Temple walked exceptionally thoroughly today, and even a person on duty at night was not left!
Liu Xun, Master Liu sat alone in the prison of the Dali Temple, he listened to the howling of the night wind, which was particularly poignant. The candle flame in the prison of Dali Temple danced with the wind, and the flames flew higher and higher, but the flame had a little bit of extinguishment!
"Whew!"
In the end, a gust of cold wind swept through, blowing the back of Mr. Liu's neck cold, and his whole body trembled, and then the entire prison of Dali Temple fell into darkness!
Seeing this, Master Liu shrank into a ball, cowered in the corner of the wall, staring at the darkness in front of him in horror!
"Bang!"
Master Liu seemed to feel that someone had snapped his fingers in his ear! That sound made the old man's jaw drop!
"Don't kill me, don't kill me!
Old Man Liu knelt on the ground with a puff and shouted loudly!
With the sound of the fingers just now, the sound spread throughout the prison, and then the extinguished candle flame seemed to be awakened and revived one after another! Suddenly, the entire prison of Dali Temple was illuminated by the candle flame, leaving no corner of darkness!
"Master Liu, Lin Xuan is dead, who else wants your things?
Li Chengjie looked at Liu Xun's frightened look, and he asked with a chuckle!
Li ...... Mr. Li! Hey, you're really going to scare the grass people to death!
Liu Xun listened to the joking voice of the person in front of him, he slowly raised his head, and found that the person standing in front of him was Li Chengjie, the secretary of Dali Temple, he said tremblingly, after standing up, he quickly took a few deep breaths to calm his mind!
"If you let your heart beat like this any longer, you have to jump out of your throat!"
"After being frightened, the heart rebelled, if it weren't for the loyal guard of the voice and eyes, maybe the heart would have rebelled, and after jumping out, it would have established itself as the king......"
"Master Liu, if you are really scared to death by me, then it means that you have a ghost in your heart, and you commit suicide in fear of sin!"
Li Chengjie looked at Liu Xun's pale face and a little bloodshot, and he continued!
"Fear of crime and commit suicide? Hehe, Lord Li, don't make fun of someone Liu! someone Liu has been bullied all his life, if he dares to commit a crime, how can he allow Lin Xuan to die at his hands?"
Liu Xun wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, sighed and said helplessly!
"Master Liu, it's really not easy to see that such an impulsive person can be so conscious!"
Li Chengjie looked at Liu Xun, who was still a little aggrieved, Li Chengjie really couldn't imagine what Lin Xuan did to him, bullying such a rich family into such a situation!
"Hehe, officials protect each other! Lord Li, before you, Liu always thought that the national law was just a tool for those noble families to commit crimes!"
Master Liu sighed and then said!
"Master Liu is really wronged for you to bend down here, this official knows that the person who killed Lin Xuan was not actually you!"
Li Chengjie took out a roast chicken and two jars of soju that he had prepared long ago from behind!
"Master Liu, please, there is no one else here today except me, if you believe me, after you have eaten and drunk enough, tell the official everything you know!"
Li Chengjie found a place next to him and sat down, put the roast chicken and the two jars of soju away!
Seeing this, Liu Xun slowly rolled over from the bed, smelling the fragrance and slowly walked over!
"Please!"
Li Chengjie stretched out his hand and signaled that Liu Xun did not need to be restrained in front of him!
After Liu Xun sat down, he first took the jar of soju, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it a few times, and then reached out and tore off a chicken leg, put it directly in his mouth, and ate it in a big gulp!
"Well, the prison rice in Dali Temple is really not good, but the roast chicken made by my wife herself is delicious. ”
Liu Xun finished eating a chicken leg, licked the oil and water on his fingers, and said beautifully!
"Well, Mrs. Liu's cooking skills are really good, and this wine is also excellent! I think that even if Lin Xuan forced Master Liu to share the Liuyun brocade and share the tea business, with Mrs. Liu's cooking skills alone, this official thinks that it is not difficult for the Liu family to make a comeback!"
Li Chengjie laughed and said, and then he and Liu Xun raised the wine jar together, and when the void touched, both of them took a sip!
"Master Li, you can eat too, you're welcome!"
Liu Xun saw that Li Chengjie only drank wine and did not eat roast chicken, he smiled very boldly and said!
"It is said that wine is strong and intimidating, Master Liu, you are eating roast chicken made by Mrs. Shang, and now you are not afraid of heaven and earth!"
Li Chengjie listened to Liu Xun's words, he didn't ask anything in a hurry, but continued to joke!
Liu Xun laughed a few times, didn't say anything more, and after a while, the whole roast chicken was already left with a pile of broken bones
Words!
"Well, Master Liu, when you're full of food and drink, let's talk about it! This official hopes to hear something useful!"
Li Chengjie watched Liu Xun eat and drink enough, tapped on the table, opened his mouth and asked, his eyes burst out with that amazing light!
When Liu Xun heard Li Chengjie's voice, he couldn't help but feel full of respect in his heart, and then saw Li Chengjie's eyes like a "sea of stars", and that sense of vastness enveloped him in an instant! Those eyes were extremely terrifying, as if they could see through everything in this world!
But the most terrifying thing is Li Chengjie's rhythm of gently tapping on the table! Liu Xun feels that every tap of Li Chengjie is not knocking on the wooden table, but knocking directly on the door of his heart!
It seems that Li Chengjie's tapping first beats with his heartbeat, and then slowly "anti-guest-oriented", and then it becomes, his own heartbeat follows the rhythm of his knocking on the table! Liu Xun is very worried, if Li Chengjie suddenly stops tapping on the table!
Will his heart go into arrest......
"Master Liu, have you thought about it?"
Li Chengjie knocked on the table a few times, causing Liu Xun's heart to beat violently a few times.
"Think about it, think about it!
Liu Xun felt his heart beat so violently with Li Chengjie's knock for a moment, he pressed his chest with both hands, and his words were full of begging for mercy!
"Say it!"
Li Chengjie said with a smile! The attitude is quite friendly!
"Hey, Lord Li, the grass people don't dare to speculate, the grass people can only tell Lord Li everything they know, Master Li is talented, and he still has to make his own judgment!"
After Liu Xun put down his hand, he said with a sigh!
"You don't need to be reminded, just tell the official what you know!"
Li Chengjie said lightly!
"About a few years ago, Lin Xuan was bullying me so much, at that time, the people of the Xu family found someone Liu, and he said, as long as my Liu family belongs to their Xu family, they can completely eradicate Lin Xuan for someone Liu!"
And this price is that Liu wants to share the annual income with the Xu family! At that time, Liu refused when he heard it. At that time, the conditions proposed by the Xu family were even more excessive than Lin Xuan's, and their Xu family actually wanted my Liu family to be attached! How could this be?"
Liu Xun spread his hands and sighed and said!
"The Xu family, the Xu family in Jincheng, or is it?"
Li Chengjie asked dumbfounded!
"Jincheng Xu Family!"
Liu Xun sighed with one hand, and then said heavily!
"Go on!"
Li Chengjie nodded and then said!
"After all, Lin Xuan and I have been enemies for many years, and Liu also knows a little about his situation, the Xu family should have also gone to Lin Xuan, and also tried to make his Lin family's property belong to the Xu family, but probably because of Lin Shangshu, the Xu family only needs Lin Xuan's annual profit of three cents!
"However, Lin Xuan's ambition is also not small, what he wants is not only to be rich and rival the country, what he wants is a "business empire" that belongs to their Lin family, all kinds of most profitable businesses, he wants to monopolize the market in the name of the imperial businessman!"
When Liu Xun said this, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a deep sense of remembrance!
"Monopolize the market!" He Lin Xuan really feels that he is a character!"
Li Chengjie sneered and shook his head, wanting Li Chengjie to say that Lin Xuan was "greedy enough to swallow elephants". I'm afraid I'm living in a dream!
"And after I rejected the Xu family, my Liu family almost suffered a devastating blow, and all the cloth workshops were smashed. Just when I was most helpless, a down-and-out knight came to my Liu Mansion and said that as long as he was given enough silver taels, he would be able to solve the current crisis of the Liu family!"
"And at that time, money was really nothing, how much he wanted, my Liu family gave it all, and sure enough, within a few days, all the cloth workshops of my Liu family returned to normal!
That person's martial arts are extremely high, how powerful it is, Liu doesn't know, but the magic skills that come and go without a trace make Liu very worried! That chivalrous warrior seems to be in my house, or if I want him to leave, something will always happen to the cloth shop!"
"So, he and I have always stayed in the mansion as a guardian beast! And I have also sent people to investigate his details! Please Lord Li take a look!"
Liu Xun's voice fell, and he took out a document file from his clothes and handed it to Li Chengjie!
"Hehe, Master Liu, I really have been prepared!"
Li Chengjie chuckled twice when he saw this, so it was the same as Li Chengjie expected, Liu Xun could go to Dali Temple to beat the drum alive, he must have some thoughts!
Li Chengjie took over the file and couldn't help but say in surprise:
"Chen Qianyi, his surname is Chen, Jincheng Chen family!
Li Chengjie looked at the file document handed to him by Liu Xun, just seeing the name and portrait, Li Chengjie laughed happily!
"Sure enough, everything is as he expected! It's just that there are still a few extremely important hubs missing in the middle of these things!"
"Well, Master Liu, if you hadn't been prepared, I'm afraid you would have been a cold corpse at this time!"
Li Chengjie nodded, obviously he was very interested in the file of documents
Yes satisfied!
"Master Li, Minglei is always better than a shadow, after learning his true identity, Liu didn't dare to sleep day and night! Hearing the news of Lin Xuan's death, Liu knew that the next one was himself! What's more, Liu had a dispute with Lin Xuan in front of the public the day before yesterday. ”
"At this time, if Liu dies, he will be a scapegoat! But no one can defend me, and I am afraid that my family will be angered by Lord Lin because of this!"
Liu Xun said with a sigh, and at the same time, he was also very lucky, glad that he was still alive, and glad that there was a Dali Temple in the world, and there was an upright and impartial Dali Temple Secretary Li Chengjie!
"Well, when this official went to Liu's Mansion just now, he already saw Lord Lin's "soldiers and horses"!"
Li Chengjie nodded, and said in a soft voice!
"That ......"
When Liu Xun heard Li Chengjie's words, his face instantly became extremely worried!
"Don't worry, since you have come to seek the protection of this official, and this official believes that you are not a real murderer! You see that the official service of the temple should be on duty at night, and now they are all going to stand guard in your Liu Mansion to guard the courtyard! Why don't you worry!"
Li Chengjie said soothingly! Lin Shangshu is too impulsive now, and he does this, because he doesn't want Lin Shangshu to give any handle to others at this time, which will lead to the instability of the Ministry of Industry!
"Thank you, sir!"
When Liu Xun heard this, his eyes were full of gratitude!
"Go on, what else do you know?"
Li Chengjie nodded, and then continued to ask!
"The rest is the relationship between Chen and Xu's two families, this matter, Liu doesn't dare to say anything, there is no real evidence, it's all hearsay, it's not counted!
Liu Xun said very sincerely!
"Hmmm......"
Li Chengjie groaned, other things are actually not very important, as long as you find Chen Qianyi on the portrait. Not only can you solve the mystery of Lin Xuan's death, but you can also find out what the Xu Chen family is conspiring with!
"The situation in Jincheng is so complicated, from all kinds of appearances, it is obvious that the Xu and Chen families have already conspired, and the Su family has been excluded, what is the reason, the Su family mainly proposed that day, let me keep Chen Shiping's life? Could it be that the Su and Chen families were premeditated, and the Xu family was played with?"
Although Li Chengjie is in Kyoto, he has no day of caring for Jincheng, and the three major immortal cultivation families in Jincheng are not eliminated, and there is always no hidden danger in the world!
"Just talking about the Xu family's evil method of using the Tai Sui Pill supplemented by cultivation......! Maybe the Su family is a little better, but Li Chengjie always feels that Su Pianran's kind of person is gloomy and introverted, hiding and not revealing ......"
Liu Xun saw Li Chengjie in deep thought at this time, so he sat quietly on the side and didn't dare to disturb. Just wait quietly!
"Eh, Master Liu, have you been in the cloth business for decades?"
Li Chengjie suddenly thought of the matter of Mu Wenyan and Hua Wuguo, how to say it, there is also a "cloth" business involved in the matter, he suddenly asked!
"Well, yes, my ancestor was the one who weaved and dyed cloth and opened a cloth workshop! Why, could it be that adults also fell in love with my Liu family's Liuyun brocade?"
When Liu Xun heard Li Chengjie's words, he was stunned, and then he couldn't help but smile and said!
"There is no shortage of money for this official. It's not much, it's enough to spend! You can't bring it with you in life, you can't bring it with you in death! What do you want that money for?"
Li Chengjie hid his face and sighed, it seems that it is really "There is a treasure at home, don't publicize it!" That's really not afraid of thieves stealing, just afraid of thieves worrying!"
However, Li Chengjie's words, "Li Chengjie is really not short of money." But that sentence, although there is not much money, just enough to spend! It is really invisibly, mocking countless rich people in the world who think they are rich......
"I want to ask you, a few years ago, someone smuggled salt under the guise of the cloth business, do you know?"
Li Chengjie asked slowly!
"Salt smuggling case??!"
Liu Xun muttered, and then Pang Ruo suddenly realized!
"Oh!! oh!! oh!! there's an impression, there's an impression, Master Li, this wasn't a few years ago, it was decades ago!"
Liu Xun listened to Li Chengjie's inquiry, and now he can remember what Li Chengjie said, Liu Xun is obviously very excited, as if he answered Li Chengjie's question, as if he had succeeded in "making a comeback"!
"Well, yes, what do you remember about that old incident?"
Li Chengjie looked at Liu Xun's excited look, and Li Chengjie's heart also had an irrepressible excitement! Maybe there will be some unexpected gains today!
"Well, Liu was very impressed by that incident back then! At that time, this case was in an uproar, and Liu thought that this was the stumbling block of my Liu family!"
Liu Xun said very seriously!
"Oh, what do you mean by this? This matter, could it be that your Liu family is still caught in it?"
Li Chengjie raised his eyes and asked! Although the Liu family was in the business of running a cloth workshop at that time, but thinking about it, the Liu family's cloth workshop at that time was just average!
Li Chengjie just asked casually, but he didn't expect that he would be "crooked"!
