Chapter 32: Suspicion
Huanju Garden
The candles lit and emitted a dim light, and the noise outside faded away, and everything fell silent, as if nothing had just happened.
Li Zifeng stared straight at the flickering firelight, his eyes were deep, his expression was cold, Shi Yi stood aside, his forehead kept flashing with cold sweat, his heart kept being annoyed, and he couldn't help but be glad, annoyed that he didn't find out the suspicious signs in advance, and glad that Li Zifeng didn't have any accidents, otherwise, he would be to blame.
Looking at Li Zifeng's calm face now, he thought he was angry about what happened just now, and after a few breaths, he finally mustered up the courage to excuse himself, but was interrupted by Li Zifeng waving his hand, Shi Yi shut up in a sneer, and let Li Zifeng sit like this.
And Li Zifeng was really not in the mood to get angry, he just recalled over and over again everything that had happened in the past two days, and what Leng Yu, the protector of the Lingye Palace, had said when he had just been attacked, as well as the judgment he had made in a hurry.
It took a long time to come back to his senses, and in a blink of an eye, he caught a glimpse of Shi Yi standing aside, rubbing his hands helplessly, even showing a nervous breath between breaths, Li Zifeng sighed helplessly, poured a cup of tea that was already cold and drank it all, "Finished cleaning up?"
"Yes. Shi Yi thought about it, and couldn't help but ask, "Senior brother, there are some signs just now, and we are about to leave, isn't it a pity?" Why don't you follow the steps given by Master Li Zhuang to answer him so that he can investigate?"
Li Zifeng said with a smile, "I said, this is the housework of Master Li, I am inconvenient to interfere, I continue to stay, he is not comfortable, and I am not comfortable." It's better to leave a space to make each other more comfortable. ”
Shi Yi suddenly realized that what he wanted to see had been seen, and continuing to stay would only make this place a pool of stagnant water. It's better to leave completely, make this place lively again, and let the people who are hidden behind the scenes jump out on their own, each playing their own role.
At this time, a black shadow floated in, Shi Yi was surprised, and subconsciously clenched the long sword hidden in his waist, but in a blink of an eye, Li Zifeng's expression was still calm, Shi Yi suddenly understood something, and consciously retreated to the courtyard to guard.
The black shadow gradually approached, it was the shadow guard Piaoyun who was secretly following, Piaoyun knelt on one knee and saluted his subordinates, Li Zifeng's expression was unusually cold, "Found it?"
Piaoyun replied in a low voice, "Yes." The assassins who attacked you just now were all henchmen under the butler Li Quan. ”
Li Zifeng frowned, his right hand pinched the teacup tightly, as if he wanted to crush the teacup, Piaoyun hesitated, it seemed difficult to speak, "There is one more thing......"
"Say!"
"The housekeeper Li Quan and the eldest lady are very close, it is said that it is because Li Quan's family suffered a disaster three years ago, and the eldest lady kindly gave him a lot of financial help. ”
Li Zifeng was a little surprised, if I remember correctly, when I was a child, Su Kexin hated Li Quan the most when he was a person like Li Quan, how could he be generous to him?
"Childe?" Piaoyun called tentatively.
Li Zifeng came back to his senses, regained his composure after a few breaths, and said in a deep voice, "You stay, continue to keep an eye on Li Quan's every move, where he has been, who he has seen, and even what he has said." If there is anything unusual, send me a message immediately, even if it is an old story!"
"Yes!"
"There is also a crazy person who often haunts the vicinity of Qingyuan, and you should also pay attention, with Li Muyang's temper, she should not be able to raise her unconditionally, she must have a secret hidden in her. ”
"Don't worry, your subordinates understand. ”
In the hidden corridor, the hands holding the pigeon slowly loosened, and the pigeon seemed to be free from the shackles, happily flapping its wings and leaving, leaving only the sound of 'cooing', hovering over the Hongyuan Villa.
'Smack!'
The housekeeper Li Quan had a bitter face, bent down to clean up the first few teacups that were thrown by Li Muyang, and Li Muyang looked at Li Quan's honest way of cleaning up the mess, and suddenly remembered what Li Zifeng had said, and the anger in his heart was even more unbeatable, and reprimanded, "If you don't want to do it, you can just say that I can let you pack up your things and leave early tomorrow morning!"
Li Quan has followed Li Muyang for many years, and when he heard Li Muyang say this, he naturally understood where Li Muyang's anger came from, so he quickly knelt down, nodded his forehead, and said in fear, "The old man is angry, it is the old slave's lax discipline, which causes the servants to have a different heart......
"Isn't discipline strict?" Li Muyang interrupted coldly, "Aren't you also accusing me of not disciplining you strictly?!"
Li Quanxin was startled and kowtowed heavily, "The old slave doesn't dare! From tomorrow, the old slave will purge the family." ”
Li Muyang snorted coldly, "Early tomorrow morning, I will send Li Zifeng, the Buddha, away safely, if I let me know what accident happened to him within the jurisdiction of Hongyuan Villa, I will ask you!"
"The old slave obeys!"
The sky is dark, the moonlight is bleak, the cold wind is whistling through the dry branches, making a terrifying sound, on the mountainside of Qingyang Mountain, a strange gate glows with a faint light, a pigeon's 'coo' sound flashed above, like the sound of a ghost, the black-clothed dead man on guard skillfully flashed his hand to catch the pigeon, untied the rolled note from his leg, let go of the hand holding the pigeon, and the pigeon's 'cooing' sound went away again.
The interior of the Lingye Palace is gloomy and cold, and the dim lights on the stone pillar hit the tiger head carved in the center, the tiger's face is hideous, and the mouth is wide open, exuding a bloodthirsty chill.
Wei Mei held the note in her hand, her slender and withered fingers seemed to crush the note, her eyes glowed coldly through the iron mask, and her low voice seemed to come from the gloomy and cold hell, "Nothing is enough, more than failure!"
Standing at the foot of the hall, the left protector Han Feng smiled faintly and said, "Even if you become a cold-blooded killer, the right protector Leng Yu is a woman after all, and it is normal to act impulsively. ”
"Oh?" "Oh?" the charm crushed the note in her hand, "It's rare to see you say good things about anyone." ”
Han Feng's expression froze, and he bent down slightly and arched his hand, "Lord, subordinates are on the matter, never biased towards anyone, and will never fall into the ground." However, the Cold Rain Protector was defeated in Li Zifeng's hands this time, and it must have been somewhat restrained. ”
"Li Zifeng?" Wei Mei smiled coldly, "Has he figured out all the details?"
"At present, it has only been found that he was rescued by Ouyang Ze from the foot of the mountain eleven years ago, when his flesh and blood were blurred, and he should have fallen from the top of the cliff. As for everything in the past, the subordinates are still investigating thoroughly. ”
"Eleven years ago, I fell off a cliff?" the charm looked stunned, but only for a moment, he returned to normal, and said quietly, "We must investigate it thoroughly, his background may be of great use to us." Leave this matter to Leng Yu!"
The cold wind looked at the charm in surprise, he intervened and handed over half of the matter to others, which had never happened before, and asked after a while, "Lord, this?"
The charm looked at the cold wind playfully, and didn't seem to care about the cold wind's questioning, but slowly turned the iron skull ring on the thumb of his left hand, his eyes exuded an unpredictable smile, and he patiently explained, "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that Leng Yu is more suitable for the current situation." ”
As for Wei Mei's decision, Han Feng, who was a subordinate, didn't dare to question it too much, arched his hands and bent down slightly, "The Lord forgives the sin, it's a subordinate's rudeness." ”
Wei Mei did not respond to Han Feng's pleading, and after a moment of conversation, he said coldly, "There is a sentence in this seat that I still have to remind you that only by being patient and questioning can you achieve great things." ”
Han Feng's body was stunned, "The lesson of the Lord is that the subordinates understand." ”
"Early tomorrow morning, I will go out and meet old friends. Everything here, you must keep it safe and sound, and there must be no mistakes. ”
"Yes. ”
The sky dawned, and the morning light wanted to penetrate the clouds, but it was finally blocked by layers of mist, making Hongyuan Villa even more hazy, and the air was slightly wet and cold, making people shiver unconsciously. After a period of greetings, Li Zifeng left Hongyuan Villa with Shi Yi, but as soon as he stepped out of the gate, Su Kexin chased him out and stopped the two.
"Little boy, you're leaving, and you won't say hello to me!"
Su Kexin changed into a light green dress today, which looked more fresh and lovely, Li Zifeng looked at him carefully, didn't find anything wrong, and then smiled, "Just run out like this, and you're not afraid that your uncle will say that you have no rules?"
"He doesn't dare to say anything about me!"
The cold wind blew, Li Zifeng's whole body was covered with coldness, and he couldn't help but shiver, Su Kexin continued, "I'm in such a hurry to leave, but because of the attack last night?"
"Huh?" Li Zifeng's eyebrows rose slightly, his eyes were silently dyed with a thin layer of coldness, and he still maintained an indifferent smile on his face, "Yes." Wherever I went, the Assassins seemed to be able to chase me down, and I didn't want to cause any more trouble to the owner, so I had better leave. Thank you to the owner and the eldest lady for their warm hospitality, and take your leave. ”
After saying that, he bowed his hand, and left with Shi Yi without looking back. Su Kexin didn't chase after him anymore, just stood in place, silently watching the backs of the two of them gradually moving away, with an inexplicable expression.
