accomplice

Li Xi was still kneeling outside the door.

The sun was getting higher and higher, the old servant was worried about his health and brought him water, but he refused.

"Third Master, you'd better get up."

The old servant looked at the closed door, and suggested to him: "Why don't you wait for a while, and then come to plead guilty to the old lady when her anger subsides?"

Li Xi shook his head.

The old servant was getting old and the weather was hot. Li Xi didn't want him to accompany him in the sun, and was about to dismiss him when he heard commotion from behind.

He looked in the direction of the sound, and saw that Mo Jia had beaten all the servants who were going to stop him to the ground. He frowned, and stretched out his hand for the old servant to help him up.

His legs were already so numb that he couldn't move.

He endured it, stood where he was, saw Mo Jia helping Zuo Ji over, and scolded: "What are you doing?"

With a "creak", the door of the old lady's room opened.

She also heard the movement and asked the servant to accompany her out to see the situation.

When Zuo Ji saw her, he sneered and said: "Thanks to Mrs. Li's care, I, Zuo Ji, did not die and came back."

Li Xi was surprised when he heard this, and looked at the old lady: "Mother?!"

"I have no idea what nonsense you're talking about!"

The old lady raised her eyebrows and glared at them, "Get lost!"

"Don't know what I'm talking about?"

Zuo Ji suddenly pulled out the sword from Mo Jia's waist, making everyone startled.

"Are you trying to say that the blood stained on it is fake?"

The sword is a good sword, the blade is bright, and there is only a little blood stuck on the blood tank.

The old lady looked confused, but because she was disgusted and didn't want to talk to them, she just stared round her old eyes: "Get out!"

"Yes!"

A group of servants who were waiting with sticks all surrounded him.

Mo Jia's eyes widened, and he took back the sword in Zuo Ji's hand, Li Xi's heart tightened, he took a step forward, and held him down.

"Do you dare to be presumptuous with me?"

"That depends on what you do next."

This conversation made Zuo Ji slightly startled.

He suddenly realized that Li Xi and Mo Jia were not in the master-servant relationship he had always thought.

Li Xi was very angry in his heart, and with a wave of his hand, all the family members stopped.

"give me sometime."

After Li Xi finished speaking, he ordered the old servant to help him go to the old lady.

The old lady was invited back to the room, the door was closed, and Mo Jia and Zuo Ji confronted the servants outside the door, and it was on the verge of breaking out.

Zuo Ji was still thinking about what he discovered just now, Mo Jia saw that he was silent, and asked him, "What are you thinking?"

His eyes wandered, he smiled, pretended that nothing happened, did not tell the truth, and prevaricated: "I was thinking, there are so many people, I have to beat a few of these soft-footed crabs to be able to help you."

When Mo Jia heard this, he sneered, "Don't think about it, you can't even beat him."

"No way!"

What Mo Jia was referring to was actually the old servant guarding the door of the station room.

He is very unconvinced.

After all, he is much younger and stronger than the old servant, isn't he?

"Don't look down on people."

Hearing this, the old servant looked Zuo Ji up and down, chuckled, and said, "I'm old but not talented, but it's still possible to kill an ordinary person."

When Zuo Ji heard this, he quickly hid behind Mo Jia.

Seeing him being so cowardly, Mo Jia was annoyed, and just about to say something, Li Xi came out.

The old servant hurried to help, Li Xi struggled to step out, raised his head to meet Mo Jia's gaze, and shook his head slightly, there was a flash of something in Mo Jia's eyes, Zuo Ji raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

That is to say, this matter has nothing to do with Mrs. Li?

So who the hell wants to kill him?

Feeling that Li Xi and the others had something to hide from him, Zuo Ji frowned slightly.

Li Xi didn't want to talk too much here, so he said to Mo Jia, "Let's go back home first."

Mo Jia nodded.

The old servant obeyed, and immediately ordered someone to prepare the carriage.

Along the way, Zuo Ji was observing Li Xi and Mo Jia.

The two of them had zero communication all the way, very silent.

Zuo Ji thought about it, trying to recall what he had seen and heard before, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

He thought about getting drunk.

The carriage stopped at this moment.

Seeing the coachman lift the curtain, Mo Jia got out of the car first, then turned around and stretched out his hand to him: "Come down."

At this time, Li Xi also got out of the car.

Before the strength of the medicine dissipated, Zuo Ji struggled to move out, and just as he was about to catch Mo Jia's hand, Li Xi grabbed his arm.

Mo Jia raised his eyebrows slightly.

Zuo Ji was surprised.

Li Xi pulled him forward and immediately hugged him horizontally.

"I'll go by myself, go by myself!"

Zuo Ji was surprised and wanted to get down from his arms, but Li Xi ignored him, just hugged him like this, and went straight into Qinnanxuan.

Surprised in his heart that Li Xi's strength is really great, Zuo Ji suddenly understood that Li Xi looked gentle, but he was actually a practicing family.

On the way back to the room, the servants I met all looked at me in amazement.

Zuo Ji was almost fuming with embarrassment being stared at by these troublemakers.

Li Xi sent him back to the room, put him firmly on the bed, and then told the servant who followed: "Bring him strong tea."

The servant is ordered to do it immediately.

Afterwards, Li Xi said to Mo Jia who followed all the way, "Let's talk in the study."

Mo Jia nodded.

At the end, he took a look at Zuo Ji and followed Li Xi.

Zuo Ji has always been doubtful, so naturally he won't let himself be idle like this.

After they left, Zuo Ji secretly followed them, gritted his teeth step by step, groped to the study, and went to listen to the corner of the wall.

"Could it be that I took him out for medical treatment and met someone on the way, but I didn't find it?"

"It's impossible. The people who sent there didn't notice that anyone was watching you along the way."

"That……"

"It should be Lu Lao."

Li Xi recalled last night, turned around, and said to Mo Jia: "Although the farce at the family banquet made him believe that Zuo Ji is a male prostitute, he can't help but go back and calm down and think carefully, and he is sure that Zuo Ji is the one he has seen before." that person."

"If that's the case, he will definitely tell the story of meeting Zuo Ji. If the listener is interested, it won't be surprising if it reaches that person's ears."

"You mean he is in this city right now? But even if that's the case, it's not like sending someone to kill him." Mo Jia had reservations, and said to Li Xi, "Let's not say that Zuo Ji's death will do no harm to anyone." Good thing, the two of them are childhood sweethearts, at least they still have some affection, right?"

"Who knows?" Li Xi smiled lightly, and said, "Isn't the human heart the easiest thing to change in this world?"

Zuo Ji was in a cloud of mist listening, and tiptoed back to the room.

Strong tea has been delivered.

And it's a big pot.

In order to detoxify, he hastily drank a large bowl.

After wiping his mouth, he began to recall what he had just heard, trying to organize some useful information.

First of all, the matter of the killer has nothing to do with Mrs. Li.

Mr. Lu recognized him last night, and then revealed what he had seen, and then the killer came?

Who was the old man Lu when he met him before?

Mr. Lu asked about his father, so it is impossible to meet him in Yuanyuan.

In addition, who is the Ta in the mouths of Li Xi and Mo Jia?

Why kill him?

Mo Jia said, the man behind this scene and him are childhood sweethearts?

Is it...

"Could it be that I lied to the daughter of a big man, because her father ran away because of her heart?!"

Incredible, incredible.

Can……

He thought about it and wondered again.

Then what is Li Xi's real purpose in redeeming him?

The way Li Xi looked at him when he went to redeem him, it was clearly the first time they met.

"What does my rich future father-in-law have to do with him?"

"What father-in-law?"

He was so engrossed that he was startled by the sudden voice behind him.

Seeing his astonished eyes, Li Xi couldn't help laughing, and asked, "What are you thinking?"

"I was wondering when you would give me the 100 taels."

Deliberately changing the subject, thinking of Qian Zuoji's beauty in his heart, he said unceremoniously to him, "You are not allowed to renege on your debt."

"I won't do that for such a small amount of money. But..."

Li Xi sat beside him: "Do you want to earn more?"

When Zuo Ji heard this, he became interested and approached him: "How do you make money?"

"Three days. For the next three days, if you can stay in Qinnanxuan without going anywhere, I will pay you three times."

"three times?"

Zuo Ji's eyes widened.

He almost said yes.

But when I think about it, it's not right, there must be a demon if things go wrong.

He put away his greed and asked him curiously: "Then what if I go out?"

"With the last step of the gate as the boundary, if you step out, I will keep the 100 taels for you first."

Li Xi said, throwing out the temptation: "It only takes three days to earn the expenses of a small family for several years, isn't it worth a try?"

Hearing how much the 300 taels were worth, Zuo Ji's eyes lit up.

huge sum of money.

If you don't make money, you don't make money.

Zuo Ji moved closer to him again: "If you dare to stack rewards, I can stay here until you go bankrupt, do you believe it?"

Li Xi smiled softly and said: "If you are willing to stay with me all the time, I will do everything I can to support you for the rest of my life."

Saying such provocative words again.

Zuo Ji raised his eyebrows, thinking that Li Xi was really addicted to flirting with him, so he glanced at him, disapproving.

After what happened today, he felt that it was really necessary for him to ask about drunkenness.

He was lost in thought.

I was thinking, in these three days, how can I get drunk and get the 300 taels.

Li Xi, who was beside him, had other thoughts, staring at him, thinking about how to get what he wanted from him...
