I'm playing tricks in Daqin

He looked back as he walked, and since he had reached the depths of the alley, he might as well walk straight ahead and turn from the end of the alley to another place to try his luck.

Near the end of the alley, when passing a residential house, I saw a young woman standing on tiptoe, hanging strands of silk cloth to dry on a bamboo rack.

"This lady, Xiaosheng Wei Yu is very polite."

Li Wei cheered up, stopped, and through a very short wall, bowed politely to the young woman. The young woman's appearance was more than average, but her figure was quite hot, and her clothes were rolled up. There are two white and tender hands protruding from the sleeves, and they all say that one white covers all ugliness. Although this is a bit exaggerated, it at least meets his requirements for being attractive.

"Ah...Wei Langjun...My servant Li Huang has returned the gift..."

The young woman was taken aback, she quickly put down the silk cloth in her hand, and bowed down to return the salute, it was delicate, soft, and charming, it was really pleasant to hear.

Li Wei is not a voice control, but he can't help but have evil thoughts in his heart. Hearing this kind of singing during the leaping horse is very ecstasy and inspiring, and he can't help but feel a sense of conquest.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this silk cloth is so delicately woven, and what a pair of skillful hands, Xiaosheng admires it."

Li Wei looked at the other's slender and beautiful hands, and couldn't stop praising him, which made Li Huang's pretty face flush.

"Wei Langjun is overrated."

Mrs. Li was a little embarrassed by the praise, but she was flattered in her heart, her watery phoenix eyes were sizing up the gentle, suave and handsome gentleman in front of her.

After a few words of politeness, Li Wei explained that he wanted to buy a few bolts of high-quality silk cloth to sew clothes for his mother. Mrs. Li, you are so skillful that you can weave such fine cloth, so you must sell me a few bolts, and the price is negotiable.

Mrs. Li's family background is not bad, and the cloth she weaves is usually for her own use, but she was too embarrassed to refuse Wei Langjun's words. Such gentleness and elegance inevitably made her feel a little more favorable in her heart.

After chatting for a few more words, Li Wei found out that Mrs. Li's husband is a small peddler who travels from village to village, and it's normal not to come home for ten and a half months, and now she is alone at home.

Afterwards, Mrs. Li opened the back door and asked Li Wei to go in and choose the cloth.

Li Wei naturally went in with a smile on his face, but the little six who followed behind had a wry smile on his face. This lady Li is also a woman who is restless in her duties. The man is not at home, but let the man from Yangsheng enter the house. Just looking at the king's eyes is a little strange, the dry wood and fire are really gathered together.

Mrs. Li invited the guests into the house, and then boiled water to make tea.

The accompanying guards looked around and confirmed that there was no danger, so they stayed nearby. Li Wei went into the kitchen, moved a low stool and sat aside, chatting with Mrs. Li who was lighting a fire and boiling water.

The sixth father-in-law was holding a porcelain bowl and sitting outside the kitchen door on guard, while Lou Xiaoling wandered around in the yard. Xiao Nizi was curious at first, and overheard the chat between the king and Lady Li, but soon became bored, because she was lively and active. At a young age, she thought it would be fun to follow the emperor's micro-service to observe the people's sentiments privately, but she didn't expect it to be so boring, she couldn't sit still, so she had to wander around, but, from time to time, Li Niangzi's chuckle came from the kitchen, which made her feel a little inexplicable uncomfortable feeling.

The water finally boiled, and Mrs. Li made tea for everyone and continued to chat with Wei Langjun. This young man was not only handsome, gentle, but also quite talented, funny and talkative, and her good impression in her heart increased. a bit.

She instinctively compared her husband with Wei Langjun in front of her eyes. There was no comparison between heaven and earth. Thinking about that dead man, his mind was full of how to make money. Go home and leave her alone in the vacant room. Even if she comes back, she will be as tired as a dog. As soon as she lies on the bed, she will sleep like a dead pig. Hanging in mid-air, unable to get up or down is so uncomfortable, hey, the long night, lonely, empty and cold.

Together with her thoughts, she became more and more aware that her husband was a wooden man with no interest at all, and Wei Langjun in front of her couldn't help feeling a little more fond in her heart, and even had a little inexplicable affection.

Hey, what Wei Langjun just said seems to have that kind of meaning. Could it be that he is interested in himself?If it is true, should I reject it?

Or... for a while, Mrs. Li felt a little confused in her heart, and she struggled for a long time. She gritted her teeth and said no, let's give it a try first. , that dead ghost will not know.

"Wei Langjun, you don't want to buy some silk cloth, I will take you to choose."

"Okay, I've bothered Mrs. Li so much, Xiaosheng is here to thank Mrs. Li first."

Li Wei clasped his fists and bowed his hands. He used to pretend to be a scholar to pick up his girls, but now he has learned a lot of scholarly flavor, and he is a master among them.

Seeing the king follow Lady Li up the stairs, Lou Xiaoling devoted himself to his duties and was about to follow, but the little six stopped her first, and it would be no wonder that the king's good deed would not be ruined if the little girl were to go up.

He pointed to the stairs, signaling Lou Xiaoling to stay here. After seeing Xiao Nizi nodding, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked upstairs.

Just as Mrs. Li went into the kitchen to boil water, the accompanying guards searched her house carefully and calmly. After confirming that it was safe, everyone dispersed, and guarded the front and rear halls of the residence separately according to the usual regulations. The front and rear doors and other important places.

After Little Six went upstairs, he stood outside the door, pricking up his ears to eavesdrop on what was going on inside the room. No matter how the king played in the room, protecting the king's safety was the top priority.

It didn't take long before the familiar sound came from inside the room. His ears were already callused, and he got used to it naturally, and his heart was calm.

"Hey, it takes so long for your majesty to choose a piece of cloth?"

After a long time, Lou Xiaoling, who was guarding the stairway, became impatient. God knows how many times he turned around, and couldn't help complaining. The king's private visit in disguise is not fun at all, it can suffocate people to death.

"No, I have to go up and urge me."

Xiao Nizi couldn't bear it anymore, and went upstairs slowly, but Xiao Liuzi, who was guarding the door, was shocked, and hurried downstairs, blocked Xiao Nizi on the stairs, raised her face and questioned, as a The king's personal bodyguard must be like this, if you can't bear it, just resign.

Lou Xiaoling went downstairs obediently, stood guard at the stairs, and greeted the eight generations of Xiaoliuzi's ancestors in his heart. This dead eunuch is really abominable, and he deserves to die.

Cursing or scolding, she dared not do anything to Little Six, not to mention his status, and his weight in the king's heart. In terms of martial arts alone, he was the master who could go through a thousand tricks with Empress Su without showing defeat. She can't afford to be provoked.

It was really dizzy and boring to wait, so Xiao Nizi had no choice but to sit cross-legged on a chair and meditate with her eyes closed to pass the time.

God knows how long it took, when the sound of hurried footsteps came, she opened her eyes.

Chapter 512 The face was slapped

Lou Xiaoling opened his eyes and stood up. The guards walked hurriedly, there must be something to report.

"Reporting to Deputy Chief Guard Lou, there is a man outside the door who calls himself Li Yi and wants to come in, saying that this is his home."

The guard bowed to report that Lou Xiaoling was transferred to serve as Li Wei's personal bodyguard, so naturally he had to have an official position. Li Wei knew that this was recommended by the Queen Mother, so he dared not show face, so he directly named the deputy head of the bodyguard to let Xiaoni The child was happy for several days.

Li Wei's bodyguards are all carefully selected military soldiers and quack masters. There is absolutely no problem with their loyalty. These arrogant soldiers are usually arrogant, but no one dares to despise Lou Xiaoling.

Regardless of her background and contacts, she has been taught martial arts by Empress Dowager Su. At this age, she has already ranked among the first-class masters. It was for nothing, but she actually won it based on what she had learned.

"Since the master is back, what's the matter if you stop him from coming in?"

Although Xiao Nizi is ice-snow and smart, but her experience is still inexperienced, and she is simple, she doesn't think deeply at all, she just looks at the problem simply.

Xiao Liuzi who was standing at the stairs could hear clearly, he coughed lightly, and when the guard saw him, he gestured, the guard understood, nodded, bowed to Lou Xiaoling, turned and left.

Little Six went to the door, there was still a lot of movement in the room, he smiled bitterly and knocked on the door four times, then coughed heavily, "Miss Li, there is a man named Li Yi outside the door who said..."

Before he could speak, Mrs. Li's terrified screams were heard in the room, followed by various chaotic voices, one can imagine how panicked the people in the room were.

After a while, the door opened with a creak, and Li Wei, who was already dressed neatly, came out from the inside, holding two small pieces of silk cloth in his arms, with a natural and relaxed expression. It's not the first time I've met my son, so I've gotten used to it a few times.

Li Wei went downstairs, stuffed two small pieces of silk cloth into Lou Xiaoling's arms, then sat down, picked up the teacup on the table, raised his legs, and tasted the fragrant tea in a leisurely manner.

At this moment, there was a loud noise outside the door. It seemed that Mrs. Li's husband, Li Yi, had quarreled with the guards guarding the door.

Li Wei gave Little Six a wink, and the latter understood it, and went out of the hall to signal the guards to let him go.

"My lady, my lady, where are you?"

Unaccompanied guests came to the house, but the honest Li Yi was frightened into a cold sweat, worried that something might happen to his wife who was alone at home.

"Hey, here we come."

Mrs. Li responded coquettishly, and came down from upstairs, holding a small piece of silk cloth in her arms. She had combed her hair and clothes again, except that there was still a little blush on her cheeks, and there was a soul-stirring spring in her eyes. Can't really see anything unusual.

"Sir, this is Mr. Wei Lang, here to buy silk cloth."

She introduced to her husband, explained why Langjun Wei was at home, and then handed over the small piece of silk cloth in her arms to Li Wei, with a natural expression and movements, as if nothing happened just now.

Li Yi is just an honest little peddler, how could he see anything strange, he enthusiastically kept Li Wei and others for dinner, Li Wei was ashamed, left five taels of money for cloth, and then bid farewell.

When Li Yi sent the guests out, Mrs. Li found that there was still a small piece of silk cloth on the table, which seemed to have been left by Wei Langjun. She picked up the silk cloth and wanted to chase it out, but found a golden leaf under the silk cloth , can't help but stunned.

Needless to say, this piece of five-two-weight gold leaf must have been left by an enemy. By the time Mrs. Li realized it and picked up the gold leaf and chased it out, Li Wei and others had already left.

Mrs. Li touched the gold leaf hidden in her sleeve pocket, and sighed faintly, is this kind of person?Alas, I wonder if he will come again in the future?

Li Wei and the others left Li's house, walking in the direction of the end of the alley, turning from the fork at the end of the alley to another alley, and a thin and short old man carrying a burden came in front of him. Stick to the fence and make way for the elderly.

When the old man passed by, he just glanced at everyone curiously, then lowered his head and continued to walk deep into the alley.

Lou Xiaoling wrinkled his delicate little nose, and said with a smile, "What a brilliant disguise technique."

"what?"

Li Wei said in a daze, "It's all right, why did this little girl suddenly mention the disguise technique?" "Don't you know, the old man is actually a woman, and quite young."

Lou Xiaoling said triumphantly, she is a little poison fairy who plays poison, she has received special training in the sense of smell, she is particularly keen, and can distinguish a dozen kinds of fragrances one by one.

The woman pretended to be an old man in his 50s, and she really deceived everyone in appearance, and two of the guards were old experts who had been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and they were also blind.

However, the woman exuded a slight faint fragrance, which not only revealed her gender, but also revealed her approximate age group, which was estimated to be around seventeen, eighteen to twenty years old.

"Oh……"

Li Weiman responded, stopped, and turned his head to look at the woman dressed as an old man. He thought his nose was quite good, but he couldn't smell anything. He had to admire Lou Xiaoling's keen sense of smell.

It is said that the small hermit hides in the wild, and the big hermit hides in the city. There are all kinds of people who hide from the world for various reasons, have nothing to do with the world, and are at ease. Strange, they may have just met by chance.

Li Wei continued to walk forward, complimenting Xiao Nizi a few words while walking, making Lou Xiaoling so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. What made her happiest was that the two small pieces of silk cloth in her arms were bought by the king. The royal silk used in the palace is even better.

After everyone walked out of the alley, they were stopped by policemen in soap clothes at the intersection of the street. Not far away, many black-clothed guards in standard official uniforms formed a large circle, and many people stood watching from a distance.

"What happened?"

Li Wei was always curious, and asked the guards who opened the way ahead.

"Returning to Mr. Lang, someone was killed in the busy city, and the murderer is nowhere to be found."

A few guards were in charge of opening the way in front, and after a little inquiring, they knew what happened, and there were many people crowded not far away to watch.

Downtown murder?

Li Wei raised his eyebrows. Since the implementation of various new policies that benefit the people, although he dare not have enough food and clothing for all the people in the empire, at least they have fields to cultivate, food to eat, and hope to look forward to. In addition to the strict laws, the order of law and order is much better than before. , He just read the data reported by the Ministry of Criminal Justice a few days ago, and the crime rate in various places has shown a straight-line downward trend.

But just now, there was a murder case in the downtown area, which clearly slapped him in the face.

Chapter 513 The Murder in the Street

The face was slapped, and no one could bear it. This murder case must be solved as soon as possible.

Li Wei asked the guards to show the identity badges of the guards in black. He sneaked out of the palace and it was not easy to reveal his identity, so he asked the accompanying guards to wear the badges of the guards in black, which made things much more convenient.

"Sir, please."

Several police officers who were in charge of maintaining order at the periphery of the murder scene quickly bowed and backed down. The notorious black-clothed guards were not something they could afford to provoke.

However, they were respectful on the surface, but they complained a little in their hearts. Maintaining law and order and solving crimes were originally within the scope of their responsibilities. It would be uncomfortable for anyone to take credit from them.

Li Wei and the others went straight to the scene of the murder through the outer cordon formed by the police officers. They were taken aback when they saw that the commander of the black guards, Ding Xi, and the deputy commander, Wei Laosi, were there.

When Ding Xi and Wei Laosi saw him, they were even more shocked. Fortunately, Ding Xi reacted quickly and prevented Wei Laosi from revealing his identity as the emperor in time. He bowed and cupped his fists and said, "Wei Langjun."

Wei Laosi is also an old Jianghu, so he immediately reacted, followed by bowing and clasping fists, the identity of the king cannot be revealed.

"what happened?"

Li Wei waved his hand and asked what happened. This murder has alarmed the big men in the black guards, which means it is not an ordinary murder.

Under the signal of his immediate superior, Wei Laosi hastened to report the case. The deceased was named Chang Qi. A small leader of the company, who was in charge of surveillance and other work in this area, was stabbed to death in the downtown area today. The murder weapon was an iron needle nearly four inches long, slightly larger than ordinary embroidery needles, which fell into Chang Qi's back. The heart is critical, and it kills with one shot.

The iron needle is small, and the fatal wound caused is also small, so no blood flows out, and it sinks into the body. On the surface, nothing can be seen. When he suddenly collapsed in the busy city, passers-by thought he was sick, so they didn't see the murderer. murderer.

The sudden homicide frightened the people and alarmed the police officers. They rushed to the crime scene immediately. Ding Xi and Wei Laosi happened to be drinking in a small restaurant nearby. He came to watch the excitement, but found that the deceased was one of his subordinates, so he immediately showed his identity badge and took over the case.

The cause of Chang Qi’s death was not apparent on the surface. After taking off his clothes and examining it carefully, he discovered that there was a tiny red spot on the back of his chest. It was sucked out with vigorous internal force.

Before Ding Xi was recruited by Li Gang, he was quite a well-known knight-errant. His martial arts were more powerful than his fame. After so many years of unremitting practice, he had already entered the hall and became a martial arts master who could start a sect.

The general process is like this, the possibility of vendettas or gangs fighting for territory is completely ruled out. There are dozens of gangs in Chang'an City, but in fact they are all the forces of the Black Guards. There are occasional small conflicts. It's just a deception.

Although Chang Qi is the leader of a small group, he has a gentle temperament and has never had any enmity with others. In addition, each gang has its own sphere of influence and some industries. With these sources of income, there are gangsters every month. It is rare for Yiwei to allocate funds, collect protection fees, and bully neighbors.

Then, there is only one possibility left. Chang Qi found something unusual or someone, and he didn't have time to inform his younger brother. He tracked here alone. Stabbed to death from behind.

There are at least two murderers who can be identified so far. One of them attracts Chang Qi's attention in front, and the other shoots quietly from behind. A master at playing hidden weapons.

This sudden murder seems to be accidental, the murderer escaped without leaving any clues, leaving people at a loss as to where to start to solve the case. Changed to another weapon, but the technique is still used to it, and it is difficult to change.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the murderer deliberately left clues to confuse and mislead the authorities to solve the case.

Regardless of whether the clue is true or not, we must continue to investigate, because this is really the only clue that can be investigated. However, it is still a headache to investigate. There are countless people in the world who practice hidden weapons. However, there are still many masters who are proficient in hidden weapons, and if the scope is narrowed down to the country, there are still hundreds of people who need to be checked one by one. For the black guards, this is a huge project.

"This case must be solved!"

Li Wei gave Ding Xi an order, but he did not order him to solve the case within a time limit. After all, the difficulty of solving this case is not ordinary, but killing people in a busy city has a great impact and is extremely bad, so the case must be solved.

"Yes."

Ding Xi took the order, Chang Qi was his subordinate, he was stabbed to death in the busy city, he had to give his subordinates an explanation, no matter how difficult it was, he had to solve the case, public or private.

"Oh, by the way, I remembered, there is something just now, I remind you to pay attention."

Li Wei remembered what happened just now, maybe it was just by accident, but he still reminded Ding Xi to pay attention. At the same time, he remembered Xuan Yue who was far away in the Zhou Empire. On that day, the two sides had already forged an undying enmity, and the scope of the investigation was extended to the Zhou Empire, and the difficulty doubled, but be careful to last ten thousand years.

A long time ago, he was worried about Mingzhu who was guarding the county far away in Xinyang Province. Therefore, the three hundred guards assigned to Mingzhu were all carefully selected and loyal masters. She had fought against Zhang Fenghua, the master of the lost world, several times, and she was at a disadvantage after five hundred moves. If Zhang Fenghua wanted to win her, he would have to make at least a thousand moves.

Another one, Daoren Gu is known to be a protector, with a violent temper. If he dares to bully his disciples and grandchildren, he will beat him to the teeth. You just need to prevent her from playing dirty.

After explaining to Ding Xi and Wei Laosi, Li Wei left immediately and went to Sun's residence. Ding Xi gave his subordinates a series of orders. The 30 black-clothed secret agents all over the Great Qin immediately became busy, and the whole Chang'an The city is full of secret spies, they are like hounds, quietly monitoring the outsiders.

In the study of the Sun Mansion, Sun Jai, the old general of the Zhu Kingdom, has been sitting on a needle blanket since the moment the king escaped. The stone in his throat fell with a bang.
