Li Xu is a very handsome man, even wearing an ordinary green shirt, he still looks handsome.
His eyebrows are very long, his eyes are particularly bright, as if they have just been washed with water, and his tall and slim body looks a little thin but he is in good health. This allows him to kill enemies in front of the battle, often with no disadvantages, and few people can.
Out of the left and right.
Perhaps it was because it was raining outside. When he came in, he smelled a bit damp, and his robe was slightly cool, making his whole body feel a bit hazy, as if he had just fainted ink, which was clearly right in front of him.
But it’s hard to see clearly and elusive.
Li Xu looked at her calmly, and Qing Huan smiled in her heart. She was not afraid of his gaze.
This is not the first time that Li Xu has met Miss Xu.
Last time when Sun Chong was arresting Mr. Tan, he unexpectedly met Miss Xu. After seeing him, her clear and lively eyes suddenly became as silent and indifferent as an ancient well, as if many emotions were suppressed in them.
It makes people want to explore more.
Now she changed again, her expression was natural, as if she was looking at flowers and trees. She soon lost interest and looked away calmly.
If he hadn't had a very good memory, he would have suspected that he had read it wrong last time.
He has already seen her neat methods, which shows how smart she is. What she is thinking about such a person cannot be understood by covering her face once or twice.
Li Xu was not prepared to get entangled in this matter.
At this moment, the Anyi Houfu wants to know the truth of the case just like him. As long as the case is found out, they will part ways. As long as it does not affect the overall situation, there is no need to delve into it.
"Can anyone come here at the prefecture?" Xu Qing'an's face was already in front of Xu Qinghuan, looking at Zhou Yue with eager eyes, and Zhou Yue shrank and took a step back.
Li Xu just smiled lightly and stepped forward to salute Wang Yun.
Wang Yun smiled and said: "Li Jiajiulang is no one else. If you hadn't met him in the case of your parents, Officer Su Huai, I'm afraid there would be no chance of going to Beijing for a retrial."
Li Xu said: "I'm afraid that even if Mr. Su's case is retried, there will be no result."
Wang Yun couldn't help but be surprised. After Su Huai was imprisoned, Zhou Yue introduced Li Xu to him, and finally gave Su Huai a chance to be retried. Logically speaking, Li Xu should do the rest of the things step by step, but for some reason, Li Xu changed
The original intention was to stay in Fengxiang instead of going to the capital.
Wang Yundao: "Have you already calculated Fengxiang's taxes in recent years? As long as you check with the Ministry of Household Affairs, Su Huai's charges will be self-defeating."
Li Xu's eyes were calm, and his dark eyes reflected the lamps and candles on the table, as if all the light had been absorbed into them: "It seems like this, but when you think about it carefully, it is not so."
Li Xu's words aroused Wang Yun's interest: "Oh, what's the problem?"
Li Xu said: "Master Su is an example of a 'loyal and upright' minister. Even if someone wants to frame him, he should not use such clumsy means. The court also kept the matter secret, as if there was a shady inside story. The emperor kissed him twice.
He criticized and reprimanded Mr. Su. If the senior ministers of the court had not stopped him, he would have ordered Mr. Su to be executed on the spot.
The emperor would never be so angry for a sum of money, and I conclude that greed is just a superficial statement."
Wang Yundao: "According to what you said, Su Huai has another crime? In this case, why should the court cover it up?"
Li Xu said: "What if it concerns the face of the late emperor? I have always ignored one thing. After Master Su Huai was arrested by the court, he defended himself. It was not until the secret envoy came to interrogate from the capital that Master Su Huai became silent. Sir
When he left Fengxiang and was forced to go to the capital, he kept mumbling two words to himself: "tax money".
I always thought Master Su was talking about the tax money that Fengxiang paid to the Ministry of Household Affairs. Now after checking, it should be clear that this money was recorded by the Ministry of Household Affairs. Fengxiang will also be connected with some kind of "tax money", that is, when the rebels invaded
The tax money lost during Fengxiang.
The rebel Zhao Chong once confessed that someone collaborated with him inside and outside to capture Fengxiang and hid the money, waiting for a comeback later. When the rebels entered Fengxiang, Su Huai happened to be the magistrate of Fengxiang County and was one of the officials guarding Fengxiang City.
1. The rebels broke through the city, and Mr. Su led his men to resist until all the soldiers around him were killed. Mr. Su was also seriously injured, and was finally discovered by the people among the dead, leaving only one life.
If someone is said to have colluded with the rebels, then the officials who were lucky enough to survive would be the most suspect."
Li Xu explained very carefully and immediately connected all the clues together.
Wang Yundao: "These make sense, but what does it have to do with the Cao family's case?"
Li Xu continued: "Miss Xu believes that there is someone else who ordered the murderer to kill Cao Ruwan. One of the reasons should be that Cao Ruwan died in a miserable state. Generally speaking, only those with deep hatred can be so cruel. After the incident, the Cao family responded
The behavior of the matter was also very abnormal. Instead of pursuing the investigation to the end, they were ready to call it quits. What could be more important than the life of Miss Cao family, the reputation of Mrs. Xu Er and the Cao family, unless the Cao family was afraid that if they continued to pursue the case, they would
It would be even more detrimental to the Cao family, so they would rather cover it up in a muddle.
This makes me even more convinced that the person who killed Cao Ruwan has a grudge against the Cao family. If this grudge is revealed in front of others, it will drag the Cao family into a more dangerous situation."
Li Xu said and looked at Xu Qinghuan: "On the surface, the Cao family has a good reputation and has impeccable poems, books and etiquette. In fact, there are many things in the Cao family that are fishy. Mrs. Cao's second daughter died after the battle in Fengxiang.
After being bedridden for many years, even though he married Mr. Xu San, he never left home. Mr. Cao Si suddenly had a posthumous son. The origin of this child is unclear. What other secrets are there about the Cao and Xu families? Miss Xu and so on
The days should be seen more clearly."
Xu Qinghuan smiled slightly. Li Xu was still so thoughtful and would not waste any help. Her identity and her methods had long been taken into consideration by him.
That’s fine.
It is only fair that she should reciprocate the favor and consider Li Xu as a person of value and each get what he needs.
If she wants to find out the facts of the case, she can be exploited by others. Isn't it the same for Li Xu? Now that this sharp blade is in her hands, it doesn't matter if she plays with it casually.
Miss Xu's eyes changed slightly, and suddenly became a little deeper, making Li Xu seem to see herself in the mirror, but she made no secret of her calculations and plans.
Xu Qinghuan said: "If Magistrate Su was safe and sound during the Battle of Fengxiang, it should be doubted, then the Cao family, where almost the whole family survived, is even more worthy of investigation.
The county annals record that the rebels searched the Cao family for a day but failed to find the secret passage. The secret passage of the Cao family was so hidden. Since the secret passage was safe, why did the Cao family escape to the city gate before the rebels left Fengxiang?
He met the imperial soldiers who came to attack the rebels, and survived under the protection of the imperial court.
If someone knew the battle situation at that time and knew that the imperial troops and horses would enter from the city gate, they could naturally help the Cao family escape. However, the Cao family had long lost the news from the outside in the secret passage. How could the two masters of the Cao family do this?
Allowing so many female relatives to take risks and walk through the city is completely inconsistent with the Cao family's previous actions of hiding in the secret passage.
How did the Cao family members escape? What secrets did the Cao family hide?
When the murderer killed Cao Ruwan, his body was facing the two archways of the Cao family. He was already telling us that there was another hidden story about what happened that year.
This vengeful person has been waiting for a long time, and now the time is ripe. He can finally take action. Not only does he want to avenge himself, but he also wants to make the Cao family lose everything. He knows that the Cao family dare not speak out, let alone ask the court for help, but he wants to ask the court for help.
Revenge for the Cao family is not easy, because there are too many people inside and outside the Cao family, and he can only have a chance to strike if the Cao family is in chaos."
Sun Chong shook his head: "I just heard that Mrs. Cao was ill, and the Cao family invited several doctors to come to the clinic for treatment."
Wang Yundao: "How can we cause chaos in the Cao family?"
Xu Qinghuan was about to speak when he heard a commotion outside.
Then Xu Qingshu walked in: "Something happened to the Cao family."
Wang Yun's expression changed: "What's going on?"
Xu Qingshu has not recovered from the panic until now: "Master Cao and the second master met the murderer in the suburbs. The second master was chopped with a knife, and the first master was kidnapped by the murderer."
Something happened to the Cao family again. Wang Yun immediately stood up and said, "Let's go to the Cao family with me."
…
Seeing everyone in the Yamen heading to Cao's house.
Xu Qinghuan let Feng Chu help her get into the carriage.
"Miss Xu is not going to go to the Cao family!" Li Xu's clear voice came from outside the carriage, "Miss Xu's guess about the murderer is right. If the Cao family is in chaos, the murderer will take advantage of it. As long as the murderer makes a move, he will
Leaving clues, Miss Xu must already know the whereabouts of the murderer."
Li Xu has made his position clear. Since we are on the same road and have the same purpose, he will also help.
But she was not interested in a plate of leftovers, even though they were leftovers from her own meal.
"Let's go!" A woman's crisp voice came from the carriage.
"Oh, why are you..." Zhou Yue was a little unhappy. Li Xu came to help, but Miss Xu treated them as enemies.
But Li Xu didn't care: "There were not many people who might have had contact with the rebels back then, but Marquis Anyi was among them."
Hearing this, Xu Qing'an, who had already mounted his horse, immediately got off the horse and stepped forward to face Li Xu with a frown: "What did you say?"
Li Xu stood there with a smile, without any fear on his face: "Miss Xu, you will know if you think about it carefully."
My father was dragged into this case back then. Could it be that this is where it started.
Qing Huan opened the curtain, her eyes were indescribably cold, and Zhou Yue next to her shivered.
