Chapter 23, and make idleness
[The third day of the third month of the seventh year of the Great Qiankang Yuan, the time of the first month, the south of Chang'an City, Meixuezhai]
After Li Yi and Xu Ke discussed, he left Tsing Yiwei and walked alone along the east market entrance of Chang'an City, all the way he was thinking about this strange case that happened in the capital in the past few days.
There are many people and cars coming and going in the East Market, and the cries of various vendors are coming and going, seeing this prosperous scene, Li Yi is even more worried in his heart.
Today, although he refuted to Shang Shucheng Kezhong of the Criminal Department, "This case is just a trivial matter!", but in his real mood, it is heavier than anyone else.
In the heart of this King Zhao, the last thing he wanted to see was that the prosperous Kang Yuan era, which his father had worked hard all his life, was destroyed by demons and monsters......
Now, Chang'an City suddenly appeared monsters, this demon exclusively takes young and strong men as prey, absorbs essence, and charms sentient beings, if this demon is allowed to continue to be a disaster to the world, and I don't know how many innocent men will die because of it?
Under the careful rule of his father, the world was already a peaceful and prosperous situation, and this demon dared to appear in the capital of Daqian and openly attack the people of Daqian, what was her intention? Is there any major conspiracy behind this?
According to the current facts of the case, it can be inferred that the murderer should be the notorious "and alloy fairy" Mao Jiaojiao, but I heard that this cat demon has always been in Xiao Guo in the north, how could he suddenly appear in Chang'an again? Is there any plot of Xiao Guo behind this?
Moreover, is Mao Jiaojiao the only culprit in this case? In just a few days, several Chang'an men have been killed, is there anyone else who is the murderer?
Li Yi walked and stopped, like a leisurely stroll, wandering around, he was silently thinking in his heart......
My father ordered me to take charge of this case, and also sent Tsing Yiwei, Jingzhao Mansion, Criminal Department, and Dali Temple to help me...... All of them are shrewd and capable people. But how could my father have expected that the dragons and phoenixes in this person have collided together, and none of them will obey anyone, and before the matter has started, they will start to compete with each other internally, but there are too many people to get in the way!
Ahem! If I had known this, I would have only called my junior brother Xu Wuxi, and the two of us would have secretly disguised ourselves to lure the cat demon out of the hole, and then descend and capture it, so why should I have to work so many people? For two days in a row, just sitting with them for a meeting made me dizzy! With so many people gathered in one place, it is not only useless, but also wastes my tongue!
It seems that those who can do things should not be too much! If there is too much, it will be chaotic, and if it is chaotic, it will be tired, and if it is afraid, it will be afraid that in the end, it will be tired for a long time, and the work will be fruitless!
This time, Cheng Wanli, the general manager of the forbidden army, was able to take the initiative to ask Ying to help me solve the case, but I didn't expect it. Originally, my father did not arrange for General Cheng to join my trial team, but after General Cheng heard about this, he repeatedly asked his father to allow him to contribute to solving the case. General Cheng must have remembered that I had the grace of knowing him on the battlefield back then, and he wanted to contribute to me no matter what.
Fortunately, General Cheng supported the scene for me, so that I did not lose my square inch in front of these old ministers, and now, I am afraid that in addition to my junior brother, there is only General Cheng!
It is ridiculous that this old man is really useless when he sees this old man today, except for talking a lot! It seems that this person is nothing more than a vain name! Now this demon is a fool, and he has reached the point where men are attacked every day, and this Cheng Kezhong is still thinking about how to conceal this matter! Even if we conceal this matter to the end, can we hide it from the first day of the first year of junior high school and the fifteenth year? The facts are there, and if we blindly conceal it, how can we block the mouths of the people? It's a pity that my father values this person so much!
There is also Dai Zhou, the Zhengqing of Dali Temple, who has long heard that he dares to make blunt remarks and repeatedly cracks the Chang'an case, but I have seen him in the past two days, and there is nothing outstanding about it, but it is a look of self-preservation, which is disgusting to look at!
There is also Yin Zhong Xingming of Jingzhao Mansion, who followed his father to kill the enemy back then, and it is said that he is also a strong general, how did he become a Beijing official for so many years, but he has become a submissive and unassertive person? !
As for Shen Huan, the governor of the Tsing Yi Guard, although he welcomed me and flattered me in every way, this person had bad intentions, and he wanted to arrest people and put them in prison at every turn, and fabricated charges at will, and this person's strength should not be underestimated, if the control was not effective, in the future, this person may also be a big scourge in Chang'an City!
Ahem! These people are either pedantic, or only know how to protect themselves, or have evil intentions, or they are only submissive, and in the face of this case, there is not a single person who can be used!
Do I want to go to the Haoyuan to see the master? By the way, listen to the master's opinion on this case? Forget it, the master, his old man, the dragon is not in the Haoyuan for most of the time, and besides, this case has just been discovered, and the monster has not yet been seen, how can I, Li Yi, suddenly go to the labor master?
......
Li Yi just thought about it while walking, and inadvertently wandered around Chang'an City for nearly an hour.
Suddenly, Li Yi looked up and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it turned out that the place where he was standing at the moment was Mei Xuezhai in the south of Chang'an City. Unconsciously, he didn't know what was going on, and he actually came to Yiqing.
"Since you're here, why don't you see her?" Li Yi thought so, so he walked to the door and raised his hand to knock on the door.
Who knew that he raised his hand in the air, and put it down again. 04
"Ahem! We just met yesterday, and we just had a drink with her, and now we suddenly come to the door again, which seems to be ...... It's a little inappropriate, forget it, wait a while, and come again!" Li Yi thought silently in his heart, turned around and wanted to go back.
He walked away a few steps, but turned around and walked to Mei Xuezhai's door, still intending to raise his hand and knock.
"This case is full of clues, and now that I have found out that the culprit of this case is the cat demon Mao Jiaojiao, I should have discussed it with Miss Yiqing and Senior Sister Yichen, but now that I have come to their door, why can't I pass through the door?" Li Yi changed his mind again.
However, he raised his hand in mid-air, and the knock on the door could not be knocked.
Rao him Li Yi, as the deputy pavilion master of the Great Qianshen King Pavilion, and the king of Zhao who was crowned with seven pearls, would hesitate to knock on a woman's door at this time......
At this time, I heard a "support" sound, and a wooden door of Mei Xuezhai was opened from the inside.
Unexpectedly, Li Yi hesitated for a long time and couldn't make a decision, and someone had already implemented it for him.
"Huh, Brother Li, why are you here?" A crisp voice flowing through the valley like a spring water dingdong came, and naturally, it was Yiqing, the youngest female disciple of the Emei faction who opened the door.
Seeing that Yiqing actually opened the door at this time, Li Yi couldn't help but be stunned, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "I passed by here today, thinking that I would discuss the case with the girl again, so I ...... it."
"Okay!" When Yi Qing heard that Li Yi was going to discuss the case with him, he immediately clapped his hands and said quickly: "Brother Li, I also want to go to you! I still want to hear Brother Li tell me more about the details of this case!"
"It turns out that the girl just wants to come to me!" Li Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he said to himself, fortunately, fortunately! It was she who wanted to come to me, not that I was anxious to see her just one day later.
After Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief, there was also a trace of inexplicable joy and pleasure in his heart. "Miss Yiqing actually took the initiative to come to me? Is she just looking for me to discuss the case? It seems that in Yiqing's mind, there is still a place for me Li Yi......" He thought wildly again.
When Li Yi felt a little proud in his heart, how could he know Yiqing's true mood at this time?
It turned out that since yesterday evening, Yichen received a news from her master, ordering her to immediately rush back to Mount Emei with the holy relic Tianyun Sword, Yichen immediately set off, hurriedly bid farewell to Yiqing, and returned to the master thousands of miles south.
That night, Yiqing was the only one left in the entire Meixue Zhai. Growing up so big, Yiqing is still living alone for the first time, she doesn't feel afraid, but she suddenly separates from her senior sister, and she can't give up this heart for a long time. This night, Yiqing tossed and turned, thinking back on the past, but didn't sleep all night.
When I woke up today, Yiqing tidied up the room and practiced swordsmanship for another morning. She was worried about the strange case in the capital that Li Yitong said to her, and thought, since I stayed in the capital to help Brother Li solve the case, don't delay the time at this time, the sooner the case is solved, I can go back one day earlier, and see my senior sister one day earlier.
Yiqing had already made up her mind in her heart, so she didn't want to delay for a moment, because after she finished practicing the sword, she immediately wanted to go out to find Li Yi. Unexpectedly, if she wants Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive, she just opened the door, but suddenly saw the personable King Zhao, already standing outside the door.
"Brother Li, don't be stunned, come in!" Yiqing saw that Li Yiwu was there with a self-pestle, so he hurriedly dodged and motioned for Li Yi to enter the door.
"Okay, good!" Li Yi hurriedly walked into the door.
The two walked side by side, walking in the narrow courtyard of Meixuezhai, the south wind blew, and from time to time a few leaves fell in front of the two. Li Yi looked at the deep and vast sky above his head, a round of golden sunshine in the sky was shining brightly from the sky, and today was a good day with a warm wind and a warm sun.
With such good weather and such a beautiful woman, walking slowly in this quiet courtyard, Li Yi spontaneously felt a sense of lightness and elegance in his heart, and only felt that although the grass and trees in front of him, one person and one courtyard were in front of him, they were so unreal. Suddenly, he forgot why he was here.
Or, is the real reason why he wants to come because of that strange case in the capital that is haunted by demons? God knows!
What a demon, what a big case, whether it's Chang'an, or a big job, everything in the world is originally a void, why bother with those Lao Shizi's cases!
At this moment, it's good to walk with Yiqing like this!
Li Yi looked up at the sky and sighed secretly.
