Chapter 40 Two peaches kill three soldiers(1/2)

"What do you think of this case?"

Li Xiu looked at the street scene outside the ox cart and said lightly: "The Luoyang County Government, Henan Government Government, and so many elite soldiers and generals from Chang'an have investigated and are at a loss. It shows that the case is complicated. When we come, we want to find clues, and it is unlikely that we will find them."

"Maybe they are in the wrong direction, they only think of monsters, but not people."

"What clues will be there to consider people?"

Li Xiu glanced at Pei Min and asked with a smile: "Do you have any ideas?"

"Like Pei Jun, I also consider that people are pretending to be monsters. The bull-headed bear on the water can be pretended to be a boat, and it is easy to create flying sand and stones. It is easy to use a large bellows. As for the simpler fire, there are many Indians and Persians. The mystery of demons can be solved. The key is how the princess disappeared?"

"What you said is equivalent to saying nothing."

Pei Min smiled bitterly, "It took too long, and even if there were clues, it was destroyed. The key was still the motivation. Any case depends on the motivation. Many cases that Bei Zhi handled before seemed confusing, but as long as the motive for the crime was found, everything would be solved."

"In your experience, what motive would it be?"

Pei Min pondered for a moment: "Weizhi felt that the motivation was the wedding. Some people wanted to destroy the wedding, some people wanted to protect the wedding, and those who destroyed the wedding wanted to kidnap the princess. Those who protected the wedding might hide the princess."

"You mean the princess was hidden? Then use monsters to cover it."

"I can only say that this is possible."

Li Xiu sighed slightly, "You make sense. Maybe the emperor hid her and pretended to let us catch the monster."

Pei Min was also silent. He found that the case was very deep and he could not understand it.

"Young Master, what should we do?"

Li Xiu waved his hand, "No hurry. Since the envoy Pei asked me to find Chen Xuanli, it must have his deep meaning. I will visit Chen Xuanli tomorrow morning."

Li Xiu took out a pearl and handed it to Pei Min, "Please go to Prince Xue's mansion and hand it over to him, and then tell him that I will borrow three thousand taels of gold for the time being and return it to him later."

"Abide by the order!" Pei Kuan took the gold and hurried away.

Li Xiu looked back at his little eyebrows and sighed softly.

"What are you sighing?"

"Do you know why I ignored Miss Gao later?"

"Because she ignores you."

"No! I found that although she looks beautiful, her beauty is drawn, unlike you who are born with beauty. Her skin pores are slightly thicker, and the skin of her small eyebrows is extremely delicate, no different from the skin of a baby. It is like... like a boiled egg that has just been peeled, a lychee that has just been removed, and a new jade that has just been picked..."

In just a few minutes, his flattery was more than the slandering ministers of all dynasties.

Xiaomei was overjoyed when she heard this, and asked happily: "What else?"

Li Xiu thought to himself that the handkerchief was almost calm, and he waved his hand and said, "It's gone!"

………………

To Guo Song's surprise, Zhong Kui came after they returned to the inn.

He was a little embarrassed, "I have a junior brother who passed the Jinshi exam. He held a respectful banquet in Yique County and invited my master. My master was not in Luoyang."

"Then you stay here to help me. I am short of staff now. When your master comes back, you can visit your master again."

Li Xiu is very smart. Since Zhong Kui comes to the door, it means he wants to do things for him, but he is a little embarrassed.

Zhong Kui bowed and bowed, "Your Highness does not mind Zhong Kui being stupid, I am willing to do things for you!"

Li Xiu was overjoyed. With Zhong Kui, he would not have to worry about the complicated trivial matters in the future.

"From the future, you can also call me a young master and walk outside. It's better for us to keep a low profile."

"I understand!"

At this time, Pei Min came back and walked into the lobby and said, "Young Master, Mingzhu has returned it to King Xue."

"Did he say something?"

"There was no one here, but the housekeeper took it over. He said he would hand it over to King Xue, and he would convey the words of the young master."

It doesn't make sense to think too much, Li Xiu called Zhong Kui up and said with a smile: "Pei Jiu, your good friend is finally back. Hurry up and take the old clock to rest. Now you won't have to sleep alone at night!"

Three vertical bars appeared on Pei Min's forehead, and there was a chill on his back, "What does it mean? What does it mean to be alone and unable to sleep?"

.........

Chen Xuanli's mansion is located in Anyefang, which is a large mansion covering an area of ​​30 acres.

Li Xiu changed into a white scholar's uniform, wearing a flat scarf on his head, and holding a folding fan in his hand, looking very gentle and elegant.

"My master is here, Your Highness, please follow me!"

Li Xiu ordered Pei Min to wait outside for a while, and then he followed the butler into the house.

After coming to the living room, the butler smiled and said, "Your Highness may need to wait for a while."

"It's okay for me to wait!"

Li Xiu walked into the living room, but unexpectedly found that Li Cui and Li Sheng were also in the living room.

The two of them widened their eyes and looked at Li Xiu in surprise and walked into the hall.

What's going on? Shouldn't this guy investigate the bull demon?

Li Xiu smiled, "As the saying goes, we actually think of it together."

Li Cui and Li Sheng rolled their eyes and ignored him.

Li Xiu found a seat to sit down, and soon a handmaid came over to serve him tea.

Li Xiu picked up the teacup and savored it carefully, but his eyes were observing the situation in the hall. The two men had already drunk the tea, and their eyes showed a little impatient expression. It was obvious that they had been sitting for a long time.

Chen Xuanli did not meet them, why?

Li Xiu's eyes fell on the main table, which was empty and had nothing.

At this time, the maid came in again, holding a golden plate in her hand, and two peaches were placed on the golden plate.

But this peach was not used to entertain them, but placed on the main table.

Li Xiu was surprised in his heart, the season is wrong! It’s spring now, how can there be peaches?

Suddenly, his right eyelid twitched violently, and two Taos killed three soldiers. What did Chen Xuanli want to do?

Li Cui finally couldn't help it, "I said girl, I've been sitting there for almost half an hour. When will your master meet me?"

The maid smiled and shook her head, and walked quickly.

Li Cui snorted dissatisfiedly and stared at Li Xiu fiercely, "What are you doing?"

Li Xiu smiled and said, "What are you doing like you?"

"I don't know either!"

Li Sheng sat beside him without saying a word, but just looked at Li Xiu suspiciously, thinking to himself, "The emperor only told him about this. Thirty-eight Lang shouldn't know how to come to find Chen Xuanli?"

The three of them sat for a while, and Li Xiu stood up and said, "You guys sit first, I'll go to the thatched cottage."

"Thirty-eight Robe, don't be rude!"

Li Sheng was a little dissatisfied in his tone. How could he go to the cottage when he was a guest at someone else’s house?

"I have three urgent needs, and I can't do it. I'll come back soon."

Li Xiu got up and went out. Li Cui twisted his body for a while. He was also a little anxious to pee, but he was not as thick-skinned as Li Xiu.

Soon, Li Xiu came back with a relaxed look on his face, "It feels so comfortable! Are you two going?"

Li Cui finally couldn't help it, "Where is that... where is the toilet?"

"I'll take you there, don't run around!"

Li Xiu smiled and took Li Cui to the thatched cottage.

As soon as they left, the butler hurried over.

"Young Master Sheng, go back quickly!"

Li Sheng was stunned, "What happened?"

"Just just now, Tongwenguan sent someone to report that Mr. Li Ji was assassinated."

Li Sheng was shocked. He stood up quickly, not caring about visiting Chen Xuanli again, and clasped his fists and said, "Please tell the general that I will come to visit again next day!"

He rushed back to Tongwenguan like a gust of wind.

But the housekeeper didn't see Li Xiu and Li Cui. He was a little surprised. Where did these two go?

A servant ran and panted, "Butler, Your Highness Cui fainted."

The butler widened his eyes, "What's going on?"

"The 38th Prince said that Your Highness Cui might have suffered a stroke. Your Highness Cui even peeded his pants. What should I do?"

"Hey! Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and go and hire a doctor!"

The housekeeper ran to find someone again and sent Li Cui to the quiet room for treatment.

Li Xiu walked in leisurely, picked up a peach and ate it hard.
