Queen's Detective

"Hey, have you heard about it? The Honghe Ridge case... seems to be not easy. Something is going to happen, something big will happen!"

The side of the well has been a distribution center for gossip since ancient times. The lush willows sway with the wind and cast a shade. The elders of the east family and the short ones of the west family.

"Oh, isn't that right? There have been rumors recently. Some time ago, when the young master of the Fang family died, I said it was unlucky. I'm right, but are the rumors true?"

"It's pretty decent, it doesn't look like a fake, what's more, it's King Li, did King Li kill a few people? Back then, there were not many prisoners wherever the iron hooves went, and it is said that they were all killed. !"

"But those who killed were all soldiers, right? Those who died in Honghe Ridge were ordinary people. No matter how cruel King Li was, he wouldn't kill so many people, right?"

"I didn't say that it was King Li who killed it. Didn't it say that when King Li rushed to Hongheling, all the people there were killed? Let's say it now, it was Qin Yan who wanted to blackmail the people of Hongheling Run away, but King Li refused to agree, so he let Qin Yan kill everyone. Woolen cloth……"

"Then it won't be impossible to save even one of them, forty-five thousand people..."

"Who knows, Honghe Ridge is nothing if he didn't even save his own son back then. Besides, if he saved some people, wouldn't the matter of dying and not saving them be exposed..."

Everyone was chattering, and the people who came to fetch water changed wave after wave. Because this is the place where the three religions and nine streams converge, they can say anything.

After a while, an old man with a pipe in his mouth coughed a few times, and couldn't help cursing: "You little bastards know how to talk nonsense all day long. People brought down the country, and you enjoyed peace, but it's not like you died!" You guys, have you learned how to chew your tongue now? Tsk, there are not many good people in Xialiu Street, so don’t pretend to be sympathetic here, just look at it and respond.”

The rest of the people seemed to be afraid of him, and after hanging around in Xialiu Street for a long time, they were all thick-skinned. Even if the old man said something bad, they still had a playful smile on their faces, without embarrassment at all.

"That's an old cigarette bag. Don't look at him as an ordinary old man with yellow teeth on the surface. He is a leader in Xialiu Street. No one here dares to give him face." Ling Ding explained from the side.

At this time, the four of them were sitting in a tea shop by the street, watching all directions, listening to all directions, the old cigarette bag in that room was cursing, and the table sitting on the right behind Yan Sanbai in this room had already extended the topic to Li Yan. .

"Do you think Li Ji's son will really be an idle prince?"

"Hey, don't care, if something like this happens, that beautiful prince will also have a headache..."

"What do you think the court will do?"

"What can the court do? It all happened before the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. There is no proof of death. Could it be possible to splash dirty water on yourself?"

"Don't tell me, Your Majesty can pour dirty water on Li Yan's body. Anyway, it's all caused by his father. By the way, he will use this to get rid of the little one, killing two birds with one stone!"

"Justified! Makes sense!"

"..."

Ling Ding was quite upset when he heard that, Nanzhu also puffed up a small face, and said: "They are all bad guys when they say that about senior brother!"

"Looking at the situation, it's not been a day or two since the rumors surfaced, and the other party has obviously planned it for a long time." Yan Sanbai disguised himself a little at this time, so no one recognized him.The person on the opposite side has white hair, which is conspicuous, but the Taoist Qiu Xuzi of Chunting Temple has always been a beautiful legend among clouds and water, let alone recognized by anyone.

Qiu Xuzi poured tea and said, "Xialiu Street is just a starting point. The news that spreads from here will be more lethal than the truth itself."

Ling Ding took it for granted, "That's right, when the news spreads across a street, it will change. When it reaches Luoyang, even my prince will become a murderous big devil. Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it." ah."

It's rare for a single person to say such a learned word, Yan Sanbai couldn't help but take another look at him, and then said: "It's not that bad now, the voices of the people are just a foil, and the morning court in the next few days is the focus."

Qiu Xuzi took a sip of tea leisurely, "Don't worry, my apprentice is lucky, and he is not a master who likes to be bullied." After a pause, Qiu Xuzi said again: "It's just a little careless."

Heartless?

Yan Sanbai didn't understand, Qiu Xuzi coughed again, his eyes swept over Yan Sanbai's neck.Yan Sanbai looked down, only to see the obvious red marks on his neck, he quickly pulled his collar, making him blush.

Last night was really a bit of a wild life, the main reason is that Li Yan was too inhuman, he bullied you hard, and hugged you tenderly in his arms again, and the touching love words plucked the string in your head. Bullying inside and out.

When Li Yan was buried in his body last night, he still hugged him and said, now his wish has been changed to singing every night, to be a ghost of bliss, and to strive for not having to go to court every day.

Sometimes Yan Sanbai really wanted to hit him.

"Hey, young man..." Qiu Xuzi, who was still unconvinced just now, suddenly sighed, Yan Sanbai was embarrassed, but the good news is that Qiu Xuzi didn't seem to feel the slightest discomfort with their taboo-like relationship.

The four quickly left Xialiu Street and went to other places to investigate the situation.

Lingding and Nanzhu walked ahead, while Qiu Xuzi walked one step behind Yan Sanbai.The situation outside was indeed worse than Xialiu Street, but overnight, it seemed that all bad signs appeared.

But the people outside are not as muddy as the lower willow street after all, most of them are honest people, chewing the tongue of the emperor's house at the emperor's feet, maybe they will lose their heads.Moreover, both the people in Luoyang and Chang'an loved Li Yan, the King of Luoyang, very much. Even if they believed the rumors, it would be difficult to blame Li Yan.

It's just that his mouth is really heartbreaking, and Yan Sanbai knows that Li Yan really loves the people of this side, otherwise he wouldn't have been obedient and let himself do nothing for so many years.He suddenly didn't want Li Yan to leave the palace, and he didn't want him to hear the rumors outside.

But it is easy to shut up one person's mouth, but it is difficult to shut up the mouths of all people, and the Great Zhou practiced a benevolent government, so the court must have been powerless about it.If you want to solve the problem, you still have to go back to the source.

And now there is still a problem that needs to be solved——Qiu Xuzi stared at him inscrutablely all the way, that kind of gaze that seemed to be able to see through people once made Yan Sanbai feel that all his secrets had been exposed.And, by the way...why did they go together?

Where did Qiuxuzi and Nanzhu come from?

Qiu Xuzi seemed to have seen through Yan Sanbai's heart, and smiled mysteriously, "Don't be nervous, I'm just here to watch over my apprentice, and remember not to tell him that I'm coming to Chang'an." "Why?" Yan San Bai was taken aback. "Of course it's because I want to give him a surprise. Anyway, just don't tell him, good boy." Qiu Xuzi patted Yan Sanbai's shoulder, speaking earnestly.Then he stopped and called Nanzhu, "Nanzhu, let's go."

Nanzhu hurriedly turned her head, ran to Master's side slowly, and politely said goodbye to Yan Sanbai and Ling Ding.

Qiu Xuzi patted his head, led him a few steps, then stopped suddenly, turned to Yan Sanbai and said, "Although things like this can't overwhelm my disciple, but the matter about his father will eventually come to an end." It's his heart demon, I think you seem to be his old friend, you need to accompany him more on weekdays."

Yan Sanbai was startled, his heart trembled, but his face remained calm.Qiu Xuzi didn't seem to notice anything, looked at him calmly, and continued: "By the way, I heard that you also have a nickname called Jianghu Baixiaosheng. If there is any news about Luocha, Be sure to tell him, you should know, my apprentice has always thought that he is not dead, and has been looking for him." "Always... looking for him?" Yan Sanbai's heart was filled with waves, but he didn't notice , his voice became a little hoarse. "Yeah, I've been looking for it," Qiu Xuzi said.

Yan Sanbai paused, his eyelids drooping slightly, "I know, if I know, I will definitely tell you." "Then thank you in advance. Nanzhu, let's go."

Yan Sanbai came back to his senses when the figures of the two disappeared. "Hero Yan? Hero Yan, are you okay?" Ling Ding asked with concern. "It's okay." Yan Sanbai shook his head, but his eyes stayed in the direction where the two left, and he remained silent for a long time.

At the same time, Nan Zhu was looking up at his cute little head and asking: "Master, Master, what did you guess?"

Qiu Xuzi put his hands behind his back and walked slowly, "I can't guess it as a teacher, so I have to blow him up." "Master, you are treacherous." "Tsk, little baby, don't talk nonsense." Qiu Xuzi I flicked his forehead with my fingers, and then rubbed it for him as if regretting it, "In short, I guess, many years ago, your senior brother met your brother Yan, but many years later, you Brother Yan still remembers your senior brother, but your senior brother has forgotten him." "Oh... that's not good for senior brother." "No, no, no." Qiu Xuzi said three "no" words in a row, as if There are other considerations, "This is not necessarily true."

On the other side, Yan Sanbai let out a long breath, calmed down, and came to Dali Temple without explaining anything to him.Qiu Xuzi seemed to be investigating him. Yan Sanbai didn't know how much this magician knew, but since he had decided to stay by Li Yan's side, he couldn't care less.

As Li Yan said, just let it happen.

Guan Qingci has already found out Xie's origin as quickly as possible, and it really has something to do with Hongheling.It turned out that Xie had made a baby marriage before promising to Fang Shangshu, and the other party was her distant cousin, who was from the Hongheling family.It stands to reason that Xie and that cousin were both young at the time, so many years have passed, and the relationship has long since faded. However, the bad thing is that when the accident happened in Hongheling, Xie's father happened to be a guest at that cousin's house, so they went together died.

The world is impermanent, that's probably how it is.

Yan Sanbai sighed in his heart, but he didn't say those sad words. When he and Guan Qingci got together, they always put efficiency first. "There are rumors going on outside, lest there be chaos, you have to keep an eye on it." "I know, the patrolling personnel have been rearranged, I can't control the city defense department, you have to take care of it yourself."

Ling Ding on the side interjected, "You don't have to worry about the city defense department, the prince is familiar with that side."

Yan Sanbai nodded, and then they went to see Zheng Yong and Su Ran. Yan Sanbai was very curious—how did they swarm to Chang'an at this juncture.
