Chapter 40 Box

At the back door of the Li Mansion, a maid hurried out with a box wrapped in a veil, but another maid bumped into her, and the one who bumped into her staggered a few steps because of it.

"Oh! Why don't you pay attention when you walk? I almost fell!" The maid who bumped into someone said angrily.

"I'm sorry! Madame asked me to go to the town to buy sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, I'm in a hurry!"

As soon as the maid who bumped into her heard that Mrs. Li wanted it, she didn't dare to make things difficult, so she said: "Then you go!"

The servant girl apologized repeatedly, stepped out of the back door in a few steps, and hurried to Feng Wushan's house.This Feng Wushan was sleeping late at home, and he was sleeping soundly, but suddenly he felt a throbbing pain in his arm, and he woke up from the pain.

"What are you doing?!" Feng Wushan finally opened his eyes, and when he saw Mrs. Li, who was dressed as a maid, he was startled, "Why are you here?!"

"You still ask me?? Why did you steal that box?! Now that you get money, you turn your face and deny anyone, right?!" Mrs. Li yelled loudly, her voice was sharp, as if she was about to have a scene of crying, making trouble, and hanging herself.

Feng Wushan also became angry when he heard it: "You bitch gave the box to Dali Temple Qing, and you dare to come over and play wild with me? You dare to let him finish me! Be careful, I will tell the world about you, see what you do Be a wife in the Li family!"

"I'm crazy to give that box to Dali Siqing! You idiot! If he lied to you, believe it! If I give him the box, doesn't that mean I admit that girl is innocent?!" Mrs. Li said through gritted teeth.

Feng Wushan was taken aback for a moment, and seemed to understand: "What about the box?"

"It's gone! If it's really at Dali Siqing's place, he sent someone to steal it." Madam Li curled her lips, "Hurry up and find a way to get the box back, if I'm sued, you won't be able to leave with your bag!"

Just when there was a lot of trouble here, Li Wanshu and Luo Xingyun had already sneaked into the backyard and successfully slipped into Mrs. Li's room.

Although Mrs. Li is not considered young anymore, her desire to dress up and love beauty is not inferior to those girls who have not left the court.From the faint scent of orchids that enveloped her as soon as she entered the door, to the layers of flower-like pink curtains, and the various rouge, gouache, earrings and headgear on the dressing table, all of them reflect the personality of Mrs. Li.

Luo Xingyun frowned as soon as he entered the door, and was almost sneezed by the smell of orchid fragrance mixed with thick rouge and gouache.

When Li Wanshu saw him, he shamelessly said that he didn't have any strong fragrance on him, and it was most suitable to follow him.Luo Xingyun's face twitched, and he directly said that if you are a woman, it doesn't matter if the fragrance is stronger.

Li Wanshu didn't care, and searched Mrs. Li's room while retorting.

"Huh? Bookworm, come over and take a look at this." Luo Xingyun touched a book that was pressed by several books on the bottom of the table, he pressed the edge lightly, but found that the book was just wrapped in a book cover , but the inside is as hard as iron.And it's fixed on the table.

Upon hearing the sound, Li Wanshu came over, poked a few times, and was a little puzzled: "Isn't this a moving mechanism? It's actually fixed to death." After speaking, he began to grope in the writing, and soon he felt that there was a hole in the writing. Insignificant depression.

"Ayun, step back a little bit." Li Wanshu said, and then he also took a step back before quickly pressing the groove.

"Crack!" The two of them immediately heard the sound of some mechanism moving, but they didn't know where the sound came from. Just when they were tense, a round hole was slowly opened in the ground at the foot of the bookshelf beside them.

The location of this hole is very hidden, if it wasn't for Luo Xingyun standing next to it, the two of them would have had a hard time finding it.

There is a small wooden sign in the middle of this small hole with some words engraved on it.The two of them leaned over to take a closer look, only to find that there was a big word "Bundle" in the center of the wooden sign, with the year, month, and Mrs. Li's name on the side.

"What is this brand used for?" Luo Xingyun squatted aside, not intending to reach out for it, this thing exudes a strange fragrance, probably soaked in some poison/medicine.

"It's like an identity card. This woman should belong to some kind of power." Li Wanshu frowned, and couldn't help but be a little surprised when he remembered that this woman hadn't shown her feet for so many years.

Mrs. Li married Li Zixuan before he entered the Li family, that is to say, the Li family has been under surveillance by someone, but Mrs. Li did nothing special when she married in. Appear...

By the way, the purple jade box.

Li Wanshu looked at the identity card, and slowly raised the corners of his mouth, showing a murderous smile.

The things in this purple jade box belong to him.

Fan Yang walked around outside and returned to the inn, Wu Jie came over with the purple jade box and said that the box was fake, which surprised the former.

Judging by Feng Wushan's appearance, he doesn't have the brains to fake it, the most likely is that he is really still with Mrs. Li.After much deliberation, he had no plans, so he simply went to Luo Xingyun to find out.

The teahouse is the most well-informed place next to the inn, so the three met at the teahouse in the town.

"Do you have any clues these two days?" Fan Yang kept looking back and forth between the two after sharing what he knew, but what disappointed him was that the two had lived together for so long and still looked frank In this way, especially Luo Xingyun, he still looks calm and unrepentant.

Luo Xingyun calmly accepted the opposite gaze, lowered his head and drank tea as if he didn't see it.

"Except that Mrs. Li is very disturbed, I found nothing." Seeing that Luo Xingyun didn't intend to answer, Li Wanshu quickly took up the conversation, but he was not prepared to express his doubts about Mrs. Li's identity.

Fan Yang didn't find anything wrong: "That girl told me this morning that the box is fake, and you all know it too?"

"Well, yesterday I found out that she still has a purple jade box in her hand, maybe it was used to defend Feng Wushan at that time." Li Wanshu said, "But Mrs. Li's attitude towards the box is too weird, as Mrs. Taifu , there is a lot of money around me, why do you hold on to the box? You don’t hesitate to hook up with a little gangster for this."

"Indeed, that's why I wonder what's in that box...how about we snatch that box back?" Fan Yang said.

Luo Xingyun raised his eyebrows: Are you going to visit someone's room again?

Li Wanshu smiled wryly, as if he was very helpless: "Madam Li rarely leaves her room on weekdays, and this opportunity is probably very rare, but let's do our best."

"That's it, thank you both. If it doesn't work, I'll put some pressure on Mrs. Li, who doesn't know what to do. I don't believe it, and I can't handle a woman!" Fan Yang said with a curl of his lips.

Li Wanshu shook the broken bone fan in his hand again and again, with a smile still on his face, and then he turned his head, just in time to meet Luo Xingyun's light-colored eyes.

Luo Xingyun frowned, and glanced at him.

'It's over soon'.

He saw Li Wanshu speaking silently with his lips.

Mrs. Li was wandering in the room, her pink lips turned white from her biting.She leaned against the window and looked at the bright moon shining faintly in the night sky, feeling a little undecided.

Although the man would come on the first day of the new year, she seemed to be unable to wait for that time, and now Dali Siqing was biting her madly for some reason, if this continued, she would definitely not be able to keep the box.

Things changed later, she closed the window after thinking again and again, walked to the edge of the table and removed a stack of books, and pressed on the bottom one, a round hole soon appeared on the ground, Madam Li again He glanced back at the door and window vigilantly, making sure that no one stepped on him. He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, carefully placed it on his hand, and picked up the wooden sign in the hole.

She wrapped the wooden sign and stuffed it aside, ran to her bed and sat down, groping with her hands on the side of the bed against the wall.In fact, there is a very thin rope here, during the day Luo Xingyun and the others were too eager to find this clue.

Mrs. Li pulled the rope lightly, and the whole bed shook slightly, a hole slowly appeared on the floor beside the bed where the shoes were placed, and the rectangular floorboard shrank down to the floorboard next to it, revealing a purple jade box.

She grabbed the box, quickly changed into a set of night clothes, fled out of the room, and jumped up to the roof without a sound.Fearing that no one in the entire Lifu knew that she knew martial arts, she had hidden her for more than ten years, just for this kind of time.

There are a few horses in the woods outside Nali Mansion, which were originally put here by the nearby villagers for half-breeding. Now that she has stolen one, she will be discovered soon. As long as she can come back before dawn, what happened tonight will be fine. No one will know.

Mrs. Li rode a horse and galloped on the official road, heading straight for the capital. Although the gate of the capital is closed now, as long as she shows the wooden sign, the gate will be opened for her unconditionally.

"Whoosh!" A gust of wind came from behind, Madam Li's expression changed immediately, and she had no choice but to turn over and jump off the horse. The thing that attacked her flew out of the horse's back, circled around and returned to its owner's hand.

When Mrs. Li turned her head to see the person who blocked her, her eyes widened, her face full of disbelief: "...Wan Shu?! You stole the purple jade box? Who are you?!"

Li Wanshu stood in the night with a broken bone fan in his hand, with a gentle smile on his face, as if he was just a literati wandering around in the middle of the night: "No, if I took the purple jade box, I wouldn't come looking for it." It’s you. It’s your martial arts that have been hidden quite deeply, and you have kept my father from it.”

This hypocrite waved his fan leisurely, his expression was extremely natural, if it hadn't been for the fierce attack earlier, people would have thought he was here to see an old friend.

Mrs. Li looked at him suspiciously, thinking that this person obviously grew up under her nose, why can't she see through it now?But this purple jade box can't be handed over like this, it must be handed over to that person!

So she pulled out her long sword with a flick of her hand and looked wary: "Do you want a box?"

Li Wanshu smiled lightly, he had already raised his feet and walked slowly, only to hear his deep voice seemed to have a hint of joy: "Originally, but now... I want the box and your life."

The night is the best curtain for ruthlessness and killing.

Not far away, the sound of firecrackers in the town was accompanied by the sound of a small group of children laughing and playing.Luo Xingyun stood a little far away, he glanced at the extremely lively atmosphere in the town, and turned his head to look at the figure squatting by the river with the handkerchief stained with river water wiping the blood on his fan.

"Ayun, come here, I won't eat you." Li Wanshu stood up and laughed.

Luo Xingyun slowly moved a few steps until he was three steps away from the fake scholar and stopped: "Mrs. Li is the emperor's man."

"Well, I guess it won't be seen." Li Wanshu fanned the wind after wiping off the blood, "But this woman is also a little smart, knowing that this thing should be handed over to the emperor immediately, but unfortunately, it was me who ran into it."

"You killed Mrs. Li, what do you want to say about Fanyang? His relationship with the emperor seems to be closer than ordinary courtiers."

Seeing that Luo Xingyun was still so far away from him, Li Wanshu took a step closer: "Say it straight, but tell him about Mrs. Li's martial arts, and make him believe that I killed someone by mistake."

"That will draw the emperor's attention to you. If you are so high-profile, you are not afraid that he will deliberately grab your tail?" Luo Xingyun felt that this idiot's method was a bit risky,

"It's okay, it's good to get the emperor's attention. But I don't think he has time to care about me being that kind of god. Ever since he said he wanted to investigate his father's grave, those rigid civil and military officials have turned upside down. Every day there is a pile of advice on the emperor’s desk waiting for him to read. What’s more, there is a Zhou Xiang who is eyeing him, how can he have the energy to control what I do? As for Fanyang, the emperor will not tell him too much. "

"Why? I heard that Dali Siqing is the emperor's favorite."

"The emperor is very suspicious. He won't completely trust anyone, but he will send people to watch those who can gain a little bit of his trust, such as Fan Yang and my father." After Li Wanshu finished talking, Luo Xing Yun was still in deep thought when he heard the guy's tone change, "And... I don't have anything to do if the emperor pays attention to me, but I can cultivate a good relationship with Ah Yun."

Luo Xingyun: "..."

He couldn't help but took a step back to widen the distance between the two of them, only to find that the smile on the fake scholar's face became more and more wanton, and a feeling of unwillingness suddenly rose in his heart.

"Crack!" Luo Xingyun suddenly grabbed Li Wanshu by the collar and pulled Sheng Sheng over, their faces were very close to each other.Looking at each other, Luo Xingyun saw surprise in the other's dark eyes, and was immediately happy, so he said to the fake scholar word by word with a half-smile: "I feel that using fists and swords to fight with you Cultivating relationships is good, but I don't know...Brother Li, can you bear it, huh?"

The ending of the last word was raised, ambiguous and frivolous to the extreme, Li Wanshu suddenly felt something irresistible rushing to his head, it was probably the first time he felt that the other party's initiative made him unable to recover.

I saw that Luo Xingyun's usually light and somewhat indifferent eyes were moving darkly, that fair neck was covered with a layer of silver under the moonlight, and below that was a pair of beautifully concave and convex collarbones hidden in the black collar...

This fake scholar stared at the person in front of him in a daze for a while!

However, without waiting for him to do anything, Luo Xingyun loosened his grip on his collar, turned his claws into palms, and slapped Li Wanshu's abdomen hard with lightning speed.The force was so great that the hypocrite retreated more than a dozen steps, and he bumped into a big tree ten meters away before stopping.

"It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. Let you play a hooligan so openly." Luo Xingyun saw that guy clutching his stomach, sneered, clapped his hands, and walked away proudly.

"You mean, Mrs. Li knows martial arts?" Fan Yang frowned, obviously very surprised.

Sitting in the teahouse, Li Wanshu smiled wryly when he heard Fan Yang's tone: "I was also surprised, not only is her martial arts not weak, if Ah Yun hadn't come there, I'm afraid I would have been plotted by her."

Fan Yang was silent, but his mind was spinning rapidly.How powerful is the martial arts of a person who can make all the books suffer?And Mrs. Qi Nali is unusual, and she has to take the box with her to the direction of the capital at night. Could it be that this matter has something to do with the emperor?

Then he can't participate too much, if the emperor's plan is ruined... let's go back to the palace to verify it first.

So on the second day, the minister of Dali Temple went to the palace to meet the emperor, and when he came back, he told Wu Jie that the case of Prince Li's death would be retried on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and the time for his acquittal was just around the corner.

Mrs. Li's death has dealt a big blow to Li Zixuan, but because of the New Year's Eve, this funeral cannot be rushed, and can only be arranged after the New Year's Eve.The emperor sent condolences from the palace, and ordered him to rest at home for a month after the Chinese New Year to adjust his mood.

With the sound of firecrackers, Li Wanshu lamented that he was one year older, but he was really busy during the New Year, and took Luo Xingyun to the teahouse he opened every day to drink tea and eat snacks.

It can be seen that a lot of thought has been put into this teahouse. The layout makes the visitors feel relaxed and happy. It is indeed a good place for literati and arty.

It’s just that this sneak time didn’t last long. On the morning of the second day of the new year, the two of them received a letter from the girl Su Yuehua, but what they said in their hearts was not congratulations, but a strange piece of news: the leader of the martial arts alliance was assassinated up.
