Queen's Detective

The wind stopped, and the white toes stopped on the plum tree in the backyard of Wan'an Temple. Yan Sanbai calculated the time and thought that it was time to find a helper. The case seemed complicated, and Dali Temple intervened again. No matter how fast he is alone, he is still only one person after all.

It's just that it's hard to find helpers, Yan Sanbai doesn't know many people in this huge city of Chang'an.Maybe you can go back and look for Wang Min, that young man has a good heart.

It's just that Yan Sanbai is still a lone ranger at the moment, so he has to search for clues by himself.

He grabbed a young monk and asked where Master Xuande was. The young monk said that Master Xuande was meeting with friends in the backyard wing.

Yan Sanbai originally wanted to knock on the door politely, but when he walked to the door, he stopped when he saw the people in the room through the gap in the door.

That person is also a troublesome person...

what to do?Do you want to go in?

Yan Sanbai was a little hesitant, but at this moment the troublesome people in the room had noticed him.

"Master outside the door, why don't you come in?"

The voice was slightly teasing, Yan Sanbai touched his nose, and pushed the door helplessly.

"Master Xuande, His Royal Highness the King of Luoyang, I am visiting Yan Sanbai, please excuse me."

The Luoyang King Li Yan in red was sitting in front of the black and white chessboard. He was sitting casually on a reclining side with his elbows resting on the chessboard.

"We meet again."

Master Xuande is an eminent monk who has attained the Tao. He wears cassock and has kind eyebrows and kind eyes. "You two know each other?"

Yan Sanbai smiled and shook his head, "Where, meet by chance."

Li Yan continued, "It's all fate."

Yan Sanbai was slightly embarrassed, but Master Xuande nodded in praise and said: "Well said, the matter of fate is beyond words. All karma starts from meeting by chance. Since Mr. Yan is a predestined person, why don't you come and sit down and have a cup of tea?"

Li Yanchao blinked at the master, "Those who know me are also masters."

With the matter at this point, Yan Sanbai had no choice but to sit down, but he instinctively sat a little far away from Li Yan.

After sitting down, Yan Sanbai didn't talk about fate with him, but asked about Wang Jingchuan.

"Jing Chuan did come here yesterday. I worshiped the Buddha in the house, and he stood outside under the peach blossom tree waiting for someone. It's just that the person he was waiting for came late, so he left again."

Yan Sanbai thought for a while and asked: "Master, did you ever see someone coming?"

"That's true. I worshiped the Buddha until late at night, and I did see someone coming. I saw that person waiting under a tree, so I said something. I said, 'Jingchuan left in the afternoon'. He bowed his hands to me and left. It’s just that it’s late at night, and the poor monk didn’t see his face clearly.”

"Then has he met before?" Yan Sanbai asked again.

"Never."

That's it.Yan Sanbai nodded secretly, at this time Li Yan asked curiously, "Wang Jingchuan? Could it be that the former head of the Guihe Sect, he has retired from the market for many years, why, was killed by the enemy?"

Yan Sanbai shook his head, "I don't know if it's the enemy or not."

After finishing speaking, Yan Sanbai stood up and said goodbye.He left in a hurry because there was a trouble chasing him behind him.

"Young master Yan, wait for me."

"My lord, I have something urgent."

"That's just right. This king loves to worry about people's urgency the most. Besides, Wang Jingchuan is a hero who founded the country, so this king should do his part."

Yan Sanbai felt a headache, he wanted a helper, but why did he send him the King of Luoyang?Li Yan, an idle prince, is even more difficult to deal with than Guan Qingci.

"My lord, you are a rich man, so don't worry about such labor-intensive things as investigating the case?"

Li Yan held the folding fan behind his back, and walked leisurely in the courtyard, "Where is it, the king is idle anyway."

This sentence is true. Everyone in the world knows that the King of Luoyang is very free, handsome, romantic, suave and talented. When he comes to Yangzhou, girls from all over the world come to see him.

Yan Sanbai wanted the King of Luoyang to find his girl, but the King of Luoyang was not happy.Once the King of Luoyang wants to intervene, no one can stop it unless the emperor gives an order.

Moreover, Yan Sanbai was moved by his self-recommended words.

"Since Wang Jingchuan specifically asked you to investigate the case, it means that he doesn't want the government to deal with this matter. You are the only one who can bypass Dali Temple and take advantage of my legal loopholes. In the current situation, The only one who can help you is me, the King of Luoyang. Others, those who are willing to help you will not offend Dali Temple, and those who can offend may not necessarily be willing to help you." Although Li Yan is idle, his mind is not scattered. The relationship between Yan Sanbai and Dali Temple Just think about the special relationship between them.

Yan Sanbai was speechless, because what Li Yan said was indeed reasonable, if he was there, a few more Fan Zhengchun would not be able to disturb him.

Yan Sanbai glanced at the sky, the dead are the most important, and the investigation is very important, so he turned to Li Yan and said: "Then I will trouble the prince."

"However, I am curious about something. I should have not declared my family name just now. How did you know that I am the King of Luoyang?" Li Yan asked suddenly on the way to Wang's house.

Yan Sanbai pointed to Li Yan's shoes, "My lord's shoes are stained with spring mud outside the city, and I can smell the smell of Shili Pavilion, which proves that you came from the south and just entered the city this morning."

"The taste of Shiliting?" Li Yan couldn't help being curious, "So accurate?"

"I just passed there this morning. When I passed the Shili Pavilion, I took a rest for a while. I happened to see a roasted sweet potato on the stone table in the pavilion. There was a note under the sweet potato, and the letter was written: The Wonderful Guest in the Ten Mile Pavilion. Many, from south to north to empty stomach, free time Dongzhi to iron sweet potatoes - eat."

The three-and-a-half sentences that are popular and straightforward, read out from Yan Sanbai's mouth, do not have an elegant flavor.

Li Yan couldn't help clapping his hands for him, "Then have you eaten?"

Although Yan Sanbai didn't want to admit it, he still nodded.

After eating, I feel even more hungry.

"Then even if you smell roasted sweet potatoes on me and know which direction I'm coming from, you can't guess who I am, right?"

"Of course not. But your hands, my lord, are very special. They are the hands of a luthier. The words on the note faintly have the demeanor of everyone. I was fortunate to have seen the masterpieces of your lord at the Sima Mansion in Jiangzhou. And looking at your demeanor and dressing up, it is also very beautiful. He is a noble person. What's more, the Queen Mother's birthday is approaching, and from the south, there are noble people who have achieved great success in playing the piano and writing, but the King of Luoyang is the only one."

"Young Master Yan is very observant, and this king admires him."

"Cough, where?" Yan Sanbai rubbed his nose, he just patted a few flattery incidentally, without any intention of showing off.

"What about Wang Jingchuan's case? What clues did you see from Master Xuande just now?"

Yan Sanbai briefly explained the case to him. Li Yan put his hands behind his back, and his eyes flickered, and said: "This case is complicated, and it's not easy to investigate because of the age of the case. It's too complicated. There were three mysterious people in the case. One was in Jingtang last night, one was in Jibaotang four days ago, and the other was in Wan'an Temple. Find out who they are and whether they are the same person. There must be some doubts It can be solved easily.”

Indeed, the mysterious man Juedu is the key to this case, and now that Quanfu is dead, it is more certain that one of them must be the murderer.

Is there one, two, or three of these mysterious people?

"At least, they can never be the same person." Yan Sanbai's tone was light but firm.

Li Yan said with a smile: "I think so too, but I'm more interested in the mystery of the secret room. Has Zhuangyuan Lang solved it?"

"Not yet." Yan Sanbai shook his head, then touched his nose, "It's just that you don't call me Zhuangyuanlang anymore, my lord, I'm sorry."

"Why?" Li Yan was puzzled.

Embarrassment suddenly flashed across Yan Sanbai's expression, he hesitated to speak, "Well... just don't call me that anyway."

"Oh?" The more Yan Sanbai said that, the more curious Li Yan became, the corners of his mouth curled up, and the folding fan rested on his lips for a little thought, then he raised his eyebrows and said, "Could this be some girl's pet name for you? Zhuangyuanlang? Lang Jun?"

"No." Yan Sanbai denied it categorically, "The prince is here to help investigate the case, so why bother with his name?"

"Yeah, why worry about it." Li Yan shrugged, "If you don't worry about it, why should you care what I call you, Zhuangyuan Lang?"

Yan Sanbai pursed his lips, his ears were reddish, but that appearance... In Li Yan's words - pretending to be serious, a bit cute.

It's just the number one scholar, the number one scholar... Is there any anecdote here?

It was twilight at this time, and the entire Chang'an City was quiet. Few people passed by on the street, and few were lucky enough to see their favorite His Royal Highness the King of Luoyang walking with the legendary handsome man Tan.

Li Yan happened to see a sweet potato seller on the side of the road, so he stopped to buy sweet potatoes.

Although the sweet potato seller's uncle was old and dim-sighted, the two people in front of him, one red and one white, were too conspicuous, so he was very happy, so he chatted a few more words.

While talking, they talked about the most widely circulated event in Chang'an City today-the death of Wang Jingchuan and the arrival of Yan Sanbai.

Speaking of which, Wang Jingchuan came to Chang'an to live in seclusion after leaving Guihe Sect ten years ago.It stands to reason that he should live in the north of the city, because almost all the people with the golden plaques on their houses live in that area, but he brought his family to the east of the city. His family opened several shops and lived in peace.

The neighbors in the neighborhood like Master Wang very much, because he is from the rivers and lakes, and his demeanor is completely different from that of ordinary people.Moreover, Mr. Wang is kind and kind, not as overbearing as some Jianghu people, he is easy to get along with.

Speaking of Wang Jingchuan, the uncle couldn't help sighing.

"Actually, I saw Mr. Wang yesterday. He used to pass by me and would always buy a sweet potato for his daughter to eat, but he didn't seem to see me yesterday. He didn't stop when I called him. Hey... Mr. Wang is such a nice person, who on earth has such a big enmity with him?"

Li Yan peeled the sweet potato a little, and smelled the tangy aroma, and suddenly felt hungry.However, he still handed the sweet potato to Yan Sanbai first, but when he turned his head, he saw Yan Sanbai's expression was serious.

"what happened?"

Yan Sanbai's black eyes were bright in the twilight, and he stared at the old man suddenly, "Old man, are you sure it's Master Wang?"

"Yeah, I just feel that his face is cold, as if he has encountered something unhappy. Although my eyes are not very good, Mr. Wang is an old acquaintance, so I can't make a mistake."

No, something is wrong, Yan Sanbai suddenly caught a trace of abnormality.According to everyone's confessions, Wang Jingchuan never had a word with anyone on the way home from Wan'an Temple!He seemed to be avoiding it on purpose.

Yes, it must be so.Connect all the previous doubts in series, and you can draw a new conclusion!

Li Yan felt that Yan Sanbai had figured out something all of a sudden, and he didn't want the sweet potatoes, so he turned around and left.

Li Yan hurriedly dropped a few copper coins and followed.

The old man counted the copper coins and found that he had given one more, so he quickly raised his head and called out—hey!Son!

But on the long street with few shadows, there is no one red and one white figure.

The old man weighed the copper coins, and the red lanterns that gradually lit up on the long street blurred his vision again. He couldn't help thinking to himself: Those two young masters were so handsome just now, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye. right?

Forget it, don't think about it, don't think about it, let's go home and find a wife.

In Wang Mansion, white lanterns hung all over the courtyard, making it quiet and gloomy.

Yan Sanbai knelt on one knee in front of the blood-stained blanket in Jingtang, reached out and turned it over, carefully examining every piece of blood.

Because the mystery of the secret room has not yet been solved, according to Yan Sanbai's instructions, Jingtang remains as it is.

Gently stroking a round bloodstain on the back of the blanket with his fingertips, Yan Sanbai became more and more sure of the guess in his heart, he turned his head, "My lord, I want to trouble you with something."

"Just say it." After watching for a long time, Li Yan was also a little itchy.

"Then please help me catch a black cat. It should be wandering around here, with blue eyes."

"What? Catch the cat?" The famous King of Luoyang couldn't believe his ears. He, a majestic prince, recommended himself to help, but he was sent to catch the cat?

But Yan Sanbai's eyes are so sincere, those big eyes are looking at you without blinking, and the black pupils are bright, so you can't say no at all.

"Cough." Li Yan raised his eyebrows helplessly, and put the folding fan away from his waist, "Just wait."

If he's here alone, he'll be honest - well done.

But where is Lonely now?

When Li Yan just stepped out of the quiet hall, he was thinking about this question - where did he go alone?

But at this moment, sitting alone at the gate of Wan'an Temple, he picked up a branch and painted on the ground, thinking - where did my prince go?

Why did I go to the toilet and come back, the person disappeared.

At least let me know...

There was no other way, since Ling Ding was not around, Li Yan had no choice but to do it himself.

Wang Min who rushed over after hearing the news saw a piece of red passing before his eyes, and hurried in, "Mr. Yan, that was just now..."

"That's the King of Luoyang."

"Luo, King of Luoyang?!" Wang Min's eyes widened. How, how did you recruit the King of Luoyang?

After a while, except Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liu who were still sick in bed, those people in Wang's mansion who Yan Sanbai had questioned gathered again in front of Jingtang.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing why.

Uncle Zhong asked: "Master, this is..."

In fact, Wang Min didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Yan Sanbai's gourd. Yan Sanbai said that he had something important to tell everyone, so he called everyone here.

Wang Min turned to look at Yan Sanbai, and Yan Sanbai looked up at the courtyard wall.

At this moment, the moon is just above the treetops.

Just listen, "Stop it—!"

Everyone's nerves tensed up, and they saw a black shadow flashing like lightning, and before everyone could blink, the white cloud and red shadow fell on the tree.

Yan Sanbai and another man in red blocked a black cat on the tree trunk. The black cat arched its back and clasped the bark with its sharp claws.

"Don't move." Li Yan whispered, then reached out to grab the cat.

The clinker cat was an extremely stubborn and spiritual cat. When Li Yan moved, it moved too. The cat's eyes flashed, and its sharp claws showed, facing Li Yan's face with two paws.

Yan Sanbai was startled, that was the face of King Luoyang!If it was here, both he and Brother Mao would be exiled for three thousand miles!

However, Li Yan seemed to have been prepared for a long time, leaned back slightly, and directly pulled out the folding fan at his waist and swung it away to shield his face.

"Stab—" The sharp cat's claws tore open the fan.

"Hey." Li Yan turned the fan over and saw that an ink phoenix was split in two, and he couldn't help but marvel.

At this time, the not-so-thick tree trunk was overwhelmed and let out a mournful cry.

Yan Sanbai and Li Yan looked at each other, and quickly jumped away, the black cat was also looking for a way to escape.

Unexpectedly, the corner of Li Yan's mouth curled up, and while jumping away, he took off the red robe with a swish, and covered the black cat over his head with a flick of his right hand.

The black cat struggled a few times, but the material of Li Yan's brocade robe was very good, it scratched its claws a few times without scratching it.

"Fortunately not humiliated."

Li Yan handed the red cloth bag in front of Yan Sanbai. Although a leaf was stained on his body, his tall and straight figure in the black undershirt was really chic under the moonlight.

Yan Sanbai glanced at him, couldn't help it, reached out and picked off the leaf, "Thank you."

Yan Sanbai grabbed the cat and shook the clothes off, carefully searching for the trace of 'bleeding' that Wang Wan said during the day.

Everyone in Wang's mansion was stunned. They actually saw King Luoyang in their yard at night!

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, you may not know the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, the so-called Xia Tan, or even who the emperor Lao Tzu is, but it is impossible for you not to know Luoyang King Li Yan.

Thinking back to when the king of Luoyang was just weak, and the Great Zhou had just recovered from the war, the world was peaceful, the sea was clean, and the rivers were clean, so His Majesty the Emperor thought of repairing the border fortress.

However, because of the tax reduction and exemption, the royal family has no surplus food.

How to do it?

Xin Wuyi, the chief painter of the court, is a masterpiece of love, the picture of Luoyang Wang Fuqin, the picture of Luoyang Wang riding and shooting, and the picture of Luoyang Wang Moumou, which are best-selling in the universe.

Although the King of Luoyang has not been in Chang'an in recent years, his heroic appearance has been permanently left in the memory of Chang'an people.

"My lord!" The rising and falling voices proved the popularity of King Luoyang.

Li Yan quickly waved his hands, "Don't worry about me, everyone, let's just listen to what Mr. Yan has to say."

Yes, business matters.

Wang Min looked at Yan Sanbai eagerly. He called everyone up so late, there must be something important, maybe he found some important clues?

Yan Sanbai put down the cat, and looked back at Jingtang behind him. He said, "What I want to say is that the real crime scene is not here. Master Wang did not die in Jingtang."

"what?!"
