What Li Xiu was most worried about was still happening, and his wallet was upgraded for the third time.

Li Chengye gave himself three thousand taels of gold, which is considered an advance payment!

I accidentally sucked into the purse by myself, leaving no room for rotation, and was eaten up by the purse by me.

The balance of money has not changed, but it is still the previous 13,600 guan.

At night, Li Xiu sat cross-legged on the bed, clenched his fists, and the space was directly called out, about the size of a bookcase.

The upgraded wallet has changed a lot, and there are two ways to deposit. There were only one before, and it was directly sucked away without any warning. This method has turned gray, and another method has appeared. It seems that you have to cooperate with your own thoughts to inhale.

This is the benefit of upgrading.

Li Xiu was concerned about the reward. A red drawer opened, and the word "skill" flashed and disappeared.

'Skill!'

Li Xiu was full of expectations. What skills did he gain?

While escalating, Li Xiu felt a little more trouble in his heart. How should King Xue return the three thousand taels of gold?

............

The next morning, they came out of Xuanfengfang and walked towards them with a team of officials. Two officials were holding water and fire sticks in front of them.

In the middle of the team, an official sat on the shoulder carriage, which was an early sedan chair with no fences on all sides, only a green cloth roof, carried by four strong men.

"Envoy Pei!"

Li Xiu suddenly recognized the official sitting in the carriage. It turned out to be Pei Kuan. He quickly waved his hand and shouted.

Pei Kuan turned his head and saw Li Xiu, and immediately shouted: "Stop!"

Putting down his shoulder carriage, Pei Kuan walked out of the shoulder carriage, and laughed: "It's so heartbreaking to meet Your Highness in a foreign land!"

………

Pei Kuan went to patrol the progress of the wedding boat.

Princess Xianyi is famously rebellious and advocates freedom since childhood.

His father, Li Longji, was very fond of her, so he built a big ship for her according to her idea. She got married on the boat, and then she took her husband to Jiangnan on a boat.

This is also considered a travel marriage in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Xiu asked Pei Min to buy a few Hu cakes to satisfy her hunger, and rented another ox cart for transportation. Pei Min rented a horse for him and rode his horse to follow the ox cart.

"It's too late to build a temporary ship, so I used the phoenix ship left by Wu Zetian to repair it, just near Tianjin Bridge."

Pei Kuan said to Li Xiu again: "Princess Xianyi was missing in the south of Tianjin Bridge on the way to inspect the phoenix boat. We can go and take a look."

After eating two greasy meat-cupped luster cakes, Li Xiu snatched the handkerchief from Xiaomei's hand and wiped her hands and mouth, and then stuffed it back to her. Xiaomei held the Hu cake in one hand and the handkerchief in the other in a daze.

Her eyebrows were raised and she wanted to have an attack several times, but she couldn't get it out in front of Pei Kuan. This bastard caught this and was sure to eat her.

She gritted her teeth and whispered: ‘Go back and deal with you asshole!’

Li Xiu seemed to have not heard it, and asked Pei Kuan with a smile, "How could the envoy come to Luoyang to take office?"

"It's hard to describe it. I never could find the golden gourd. The Regent found a reason and dismissed me from office. The emperor appointed me as the Luoyang Order. I took office two days ago."

When talking about the whereabouts of the golden gourd, Li Xiu knew very well that he was most likely to be accepted by his own wallet, otherwise the wallet would not have been upgraded inexplicably.

Thinking of this, Li Xiu was helpless. His wallet was only calculated by the weight of gold, but did not consider the value of art and cultural relics. That was the most treasure of Taoism!

However, Pei Kuan came to Luoyang to take office at this critical moment, which is really just a coincidence?

What did Li Xiu guess vaguely?

"May I ask, isn't Luoyang County investigating the princess' disappearance case?"

Pei Kuan shook his head, "The county only investigated this case for two days. There were changes in the county, and the case was taken over by Henan Prefecture. They had no clue and had to report to Chang'an."

"What does Pei Enjun think of this case?"

"I looked at the file left by my ex yesterday and went to the scene to check it out. I think their investigation may be incorrect."

"The direction is wrong!"

Li Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "How do you say this?"

"I can't explain it clearly for a while. I'll take you to the scene and see it."

…………

Princess Xianyi was kidnapped by a demon and happened to the south of Tianjin Bridge.

The scene has been investigated by countless demon hunting teams, and any valuable things have been exploited to the point of being left. When Li Xiu came over, there was no clue.

Pei Kuan shook his head, "Your Highness, they can't find anything. It was raining heavily in Luoyang on the third day of the princess' abducting, and the scene was washed clean."

"Then why did Pei Jun say that they were in the wrong direction?"

"Please look here with your highness!"

Pei Kuan took Li Xiu more than twenty steps away, and he pointed to several slender black lines on the ground, "This thing is a bit strange!"

Li Xiu squatted down and reached out and twisted a small hand, gently melting it on the tip of his fingers.

"It's coal ash!"

Pei Kuan nodded, "It's indeed coal dust, it shouldn't appear here."

Li Xiu stood up and looked around, and he asked Pei Min again, "What do you think?"

Pei Min and Pei Kuan belong to the same clan and different clans, but he still regards himself as a junior in the family in front of him.

He glanced at Pei Kuan and said carefully: "This is the south bank of Luoshui. It is possible that someone will unload coal here in winter."

Pei Kuan also had to admit that Pei Min said something is reasonable, "It is possible, but the appearance of these coal dust here should indeed attract attention."

Pei Min smiled slightly and said, "Uncle first thought about the conclusion and then found evidence to prove his own conclusion. However, it is easy to go astray. It is better to find evidence first and then infer the results."

Pei Kuan couldn't help looking at Pei Min with admiration. He raised his eyes and asked, "Who is your father?"

"My father, Pei Yan, Jinzhou."

"Is it the headmaster Pei of Jinzhou who has a harder bone than iron?"

"It's him!"

Pei Kuan sighed softly: "Your father is admired by the people of Jinzhou. You should inherit his career, which is better than doing nothing!"

Li Xiu rolled his eyes beside him, "What does nothing mean? Are you ridiculing me?"

Pei Kuan laughed, "It's just a metaphor. Your Highness must not take it to his heart!"

"Young Master, let's learn about the case first!" Pei Min reminded from the side.

"You are right, Pei Jun will tell me the case first."

Pei Kuan nodded, "The case happened on the evening of February 18th. Princess Xianyi's car came from Dingdingmen Avenue to the south and turned east at Tianjin Bridge.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew on the river surface, and sand flew through the stones. Someone saw a monster appearing on the river surface, as high as 100 feet, with a bull-headed and bear body, and a pair of big red eyes, spewing a fire to the shore, and then the monster enters the water.

At this time, the maid shouted that the princess was gone. This was the testimony of that night. The report obtained after the testimony of more than thirty witnesses was sorted out."

Li Xiu frowned, "But the testimony did not mention that the princess was kidnapped by the monster!"

"I didn't say everything. When the sand and stones flew, the princess screamed in the car and shouted for help. Everyone thought the princess was kidnapped at that time."

Li Xiu looked at the coal dust on the ground and smiled and said, "Pei Envoy believes that flying sand and stones are man-made, demons are fake, and the princess is actually kidnapped?"

Pei Kuan sighed, "I thought this way when I saw the coal dust on the ground. Someone laid the dust in advance, but what Pei Min said made sense. Perhaps the coal dust was left behind by unloading and had nothing to do with the case."

"Everything is possible, and Pei Jun doesn't have to rush to deny his guess."

Pei Kuan smiled bitterly, "It's useless if I don't deny it or not. No one believes me at all. The groups of royal families who came before also believed that it was a demon who kidnapped the princess. Now the entire Luoshui side is looking for monsters."

"Is there any other clue for Pei's envoy?"

Pei Kuan pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness can find someone named Cheng Zhu."

Li Xiu's eyes lit up, and it was Cheng Zhu again. The golden box prompt that the Regent gave his son was also "Cheng Zhu". It seems that this person is the key.

"Who is he?"

"He is Qianniu's body and the princess's chief guard. After the princess had an accident, he was dismissed from office. He should know a lot about it."

"Then where to find him?"

Pei Kuan shook his head, "I want to look for him, but I can't find him. Now many people are looking for him. The key is that he is a palace guard transferred from Chang'an. I don't have his detailed information."

"No clue at all?"

Pei Kuan still shook his head, "No!"

Li Xiu stared at Pei Kuan with bright eyes, "Pei Envoy, we are grasshoppers on a rope in the case of Niu Xiantong. If I hadn't created an opportunity to make meritorious service for the Envoy, the emperor wouldn't have sent you to Luoyang."

Pei Kuan widened his eyes and looked at Li Xiu incredibly. How could he know that it was the emperor who sent him?

Li Xiu pressed the last straw on Pei Kuan again, "If the envoy believes that Li Sheng can complete the emperor's mission? Then I have nothing to say, but what if he can't do it? Pei Envoy, do you think it is the emperor's great cause, or is the envoy's personal honor and disgrace important?"

‘Is the great cause of the emperor important, or is the personal honor and disgrace of the emperor important?’
