Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 1023 What is the truth of the matter?
"This uncle is quite interesting. Madam recovered from her illness, so there's no need to be so ostentatious, right?"

"It's not surprising, this famous beloved wife has not even married a concubine..."

"What I heard was that his wife was jealous and tough, and my uncle dared to be angry and dare not speak out, but he was still so affectionate despite being seriously ill for several months. It must have been a good story!"

Amidst the discussions of pedestrians on both sides, Liu Shiyan sat on the horse, behind him was the carriage in which the "Madam" was sitting, the curtain was gently pulled away, revealing a cheek covered with a gauze.

From the appearance alone, I can't tell what the countess looks like at all, I can only see the rich clothes, very dignified.

The people on the street didn't expect to see the true face of a countess, but they heard that this family was going to the Taoist temple to worship, and they followed along the way, hoping to gain the blessing of surviving a catastrophe.

It wasn't until a man in Taoist robes with a clear and handsome appearance appeared behind him on a horse, that more eyes were attracted.

"Who is this person?"

"I know! He is Doctor Li!"

"Miraculous Doctor Li...Miraculous Doctor Li! I am Ah Niu, and I have seen a doctor in your hands!"

Gradually, the crowd gathered towards that side.

In the capital of honor and honor, Uncle Chengyi is not the top group. If it is not the topic of strange diseases, everyone may not pay so much attention to this uncle, but the genius doctor is different.

One is a patient and the other is a doctor. For ordinary people, the latter is more likely to be related to their own safety, not to mention that the visitor is so refined.

Facing the fiery gazes, and seeing the crowds rushing here, Li Yan secretly sighed: "You shouldn't be so handsome..."

Following behind the convoy in Chengyibo's house, he actually wanted to observe the surrounding crowd. If he was lucky, he might be able to locate the murderer on the spot.

As a result, he was surrounded by strong spectators and was about to cause a sensation, so the possibility of scaring the snake was too great. He made a decisive decision and turned to another street.

"Sure enough, both the murderer and the detective should not be too outstanding in appearance, otherwise, whether it is to expose the crime or to trace the clues, they will be too easily disturbed..."

Just as Li Yan was riding his horse to a place where there were few people, summing up his lessons in his mind, a loud voice came from behind: "Doctor Li! Doctor Li!"

Li Yan turned his head, and the young man who caught his eyes was flying and jumping, and he was a bit young and mature, and he looked familiar. He searched the identity of this person from his memory, cupped his hands and said, "It turns out to be the Young Master."

Chen Jingqi rode to the side, laughed heartily, "Seeing that Dr. Li's demeanor is better than before, I feel relieved, can we move around and get together?"

Baicao Hall didn't make any troubles. Li Yan had no hostility towards this medical clinic, but since the other party was eager to get rid of the relationship, he definitely didn't have any good feelings. He refused, "Sorry, I still have something to do..."

Chen Jingqi didn't take it seriously: "It's really abrupt to come down, but after visiting these days, I know Tao Taoist a little bit, and I hope to bring help to Dr. Li, please do me a favor!"

At this point, it would be unreasonable to refuse any more, Li Yan nodded and said: "Young Master, please be polite, please!"

Chen Jingqi smiled and said, "Please!"

……

"Taoist Taoist's 'Jingxi Pill', in my opinion, is a fart!"

In the private room of the restaurant, Chen Jingqi sat down, greeted a few drinks and food, and then got straight to the point.

Li Yan couldn't help but smile at this vulgar and straightforward tone: "Young master doesn't believe there is such a elixir?"

Chen Jingqi sneered and said, "I believe there is such an elixir, but I don't believe that Taoist Taoist can make it, let alone him, even... Humph, I think Dr. Li understands that if there is such a panacea, how will Long Live God do it?" I am delighted, I have offered it long ago, do I need to wait now?"

Li Yandao: "Tao Taoist said that he developed the elixir, but he didn't have enough medicinal materials, so he visited four places, collected medicinal herbs, and opened a furnace to make alchemy.

Chen Jingqi explained: "So I personally visited the medicine shops in the surrounding towns in the past few days, and asked whether the Taoist priest collected herbs!"

"In order to be safe, I also sent more than ten people, and they all scattered out. We gathered at the gate of the city before. Guess what? I have never seen this Taoist priest in the medicine shops in Jiangsu and Zhejiang!"

"Is this what it looks like collecting herbs everywhere? Bah, it's obviously a scam, a deception!"

Li Yan was not surprised, but he also asked, "Since that's the case, Taoist priest Tao left the city for a few days, and why?"

Chen Jingqi shook his head: "I don't know, but if he dares to slander Dr. Li, our Baicao Hall will not let it go. After all, Dr. Li is representing our Baicao Hall when discussing medicine. Previously, shopkeeper Shen was timid and confused, but I We can't disgrace the name of the Chen family's old name..."

He got up and bowed his hands: "Chen Jingqi is here to apologize to Dr. Li!"

Li Yan stood up and returned the salute: "I just wanted to leave, the young master really doesn't have to be so polite."

Chen Jingqi laughed heartily again, and raised his wine glass: "Haha! I thought it was better to get rid of my enemies than tie them up, so I came here to make amends, but after getting in touch with him, I realized that Brother Li has a big heart, so it's useless to worry about it, let's do it!"

Li Yan raised his glass: "Do it!"

In the accompanying capital, the Baicao Hall has just been established not long ago, and it is far from a top-notch medical center, but in the capital, it is a well-known and time-honored brand. This seventh young master of the Chen family is also a well-known figure. The burden of the family, as seen now, is well-deserved.

After the two sat down, they toasted and exchanged wine, and the relationship between you and me quickly became closer.

The restaurant Chen Jingqi chose was just beside Qinhuai, ten miles away. He looked at the Cailou not far away, raised his eyebrows, and his smile became frivolous: "Qinhuai is so beautiful, Brother Li, do you like it?"

Li Yan said: "I don't like this way."

There were many miserable women in the ancient brothels, and they were full of unbearable things to say. He never thought that "visiting the brothels" was a cultural activity described by literati as a cultural activity that was beneficial to the body and mind.

Therefore, entering the land of the brothel in the first two worlds was a serious matter, and even this time, it was mainly to arrest the murderer.

Chen Jingqi's face turned red from drinking, he became a little unrestrained, and waved his hands: "Hey, the harmony of yin and yang, the way of heaven and earth, why bother to be cautious? Besides, if you haven't tasted it, how would Brother Li know that you don't like it? It's better to hit the sun than choose the day, Let's go to Tianxiang Pavilion tonight for a spring breeze, how about it?"

Li Yandao: "The Young Master's family is very kind, but tonight I do have something to do, the countess is still ill and needs to be taken care of."

Chen Jingqi curled her lips: "Uncle Sincerity...Hmph, I didn't expect him to invite Brother Li after all!"

Li Yan immediately realized that when Li Shizhen was a doctor in Baicao Hall, she did not see the countess. It was not because she was not well-known, but because Chen Jingqi deliberately stopped her: "Young master and Chengyi Bo have old grievances?"

Chen Jingqi drank another glass of wine, and muttered: "I have no old complaints, but I just can't understand this person's character. Brother Li doesn't need to know about this matter, so don't worry!"

If it were someone else, it would be like playing hard to get, but Li Yan saw that Chen Jingqi was really a little drunk, so he deliberately poured him a few more glasses of wine, and then said: "But I see that the countess is gentle and virtuous, with sincerity Uncle is even more affectionate, and he is a good-natured person..."

Sure enough, with the strength of wine, Chen Jingqi stared: "Bah! Their husband and wife are very affectionate. If you are sincere, don't go to Tianxiang Pavilion. After you go, you will promise Du Jiuniang inside to redeem her body and accept her as a concubine. The result is chaos. Forever abandoned..."

"Du Jiuniang was originally a wonderful woman like an oiran, but because of such a thing, I heard that she was so sick that she couldn't even form her shape, and that uncle Chengyi didn't even look at the poor woman, he was a man in vain! "

"His wife is also notoriously jealous. She is domineering and fierce. She is not allowed to take a concubine sincerely, let alone accept a seductive woman. In my opinion, if she is a bird, a man can still be caught by a woman? You are in vain being a man!"

Hearing his words getting more and more upside down, Li Yan hurriedly asked, "Uncle Chengyi is going to redeem Du Jiuniang, when did it happen?"

"Brother Li is a good drinker... Slightly... drank so much... and still so clear... Slightly..."

Chen Jingqi was so drunk: "I can't remember clearly... It seems like it's after a year... It seems like a year ago..."

Li Yandao: "Anyway, at least seven or eight months ago, isn't it?"

Chen Jingqi nodded heavily: "Yes... slightly... yes..."

Pfft!
He knocked his head on the table and fell asleep soundly.

Li Yan called the waiter and told the Baicao Hall to come and carry people. He got up and came to the window, looking at the nightfall and the brightly lit Qinhuai River: "Six Dynasties misty rain, Jinling a dream, how much desolation lies behind the prosperity...Xiaoqian , Do you think the countess' bewitching is because of this incident?"

Xiaoqian emerged and made a fierce gesture, her jet-black hair curled up.

In the past two days, she has stopped repeating the little girl's grievances, but she still can't talk about what happened before she was born, she just learned to express her emotions with rich body language.

Li Yan showed approval: "I am getting more and more spiritual, keep it up and practice hard!"

Xiaoqian anxiously waited for the bank note, but she didn't get it. Her hair drooped and she floated to the side to practice.

Li Yan's eyes flickered, and after a moment of consideration, he made a decision.

Let's not go to Qinhuai...

Go back to Earl's Mansion!

……

In the main hall.

When Li Yan recounted what Chen Jingqi said, Liu Shiyan was stunned suddenly, thinking about it carefully for a moment, and murmured: "When did I promise such a thing? I am sincere, even if I take a concubine, I can't take fireworks." Girl, what's more, there is no room for others between me and Xiannei!"

The countess held her husband's hand, and said firmly: "Mr. Li, please believe that my husband will never promise Mrs. Du Jiu to redeem herself, there must be some misunderstanding!"

Li Yan looked at this deeply affectionate couple, and nodded slightly: "Since both sides insist on their own opinions, then I will invite uncle and me to visit Qinhuai tonight to see the truth of the matter!"
