Every time you cross, you are in a prison cell in Dali Temple
Chapter 84: Going to the appointment, I like it
"Meet you when you are ugly?"
Li Luo bent down to pick up the little note, looked down, and asked in surprise, "What is this?"
Xie Changying also frowned, the handwriting on the note was very unfamiliar, this note suddenly appeared on Li Luo's body, someone must have deliberately put it in Li Luo's sleeve, but Xie Changying didn't notice it at all.
At this time, Xie Changying's face was dark enough, and she was angry and blamed herself. If she became herself in 15 years, she would definitely find someone doing such a small trick, but right now...
Xie Changying was only four or five years old, and he didn't have internal strength, so it was hard to detect any clues that someone had slipped away.
Li Luo couldn't remember when this note appeared, and he didn't know who it was or how it slipped into his sleeve.
"I guess it was in Li Wan's room." Li Luo thought for a while. When Mrs. Qi's body was found, many people were watching. It was very difficult for Li Luo to squeeze into Li Wan's room to see what happened.
If someone wants to put the note in Li Luo's sleeve without anyone noticing it, then is the best time to succeed.
But there was a problem, there were so many people at that time, Li Luo couldn't remember who was around him at all, so Li Luo had no memory at all of who put the little note over.
Xie Changying took the note, frowned, read it carefully twice, and said, "Is this the note Madam Qi received?"
There is no signature on the note, and it is endless, and it is not written to whom.It just said Chou Shi, the place where they met was next to the rockery behind the garden.
Li Luo said, "It's the rockery behind Li Wan's house, it's only separated by a wall."
Xie Changying nodded.
While they were talking, Zhao Shuangxi knocked on the door and walked in, saying, "Father? Have you changed your clothes yet? Madam Qi's little maid is looking for you outside."
Li Luo asked strangely: "Madam Qi's little maid is looking for me?"
Zhao Shuangxi nodded, he didn't know what the little girl was looking for Li Luo, after all, Zhao Shuangxi is also a little girl now, so the little girl didn't want to tell him, just pretending that he didn't understand anything.
Li Luo said: "Call me in."
The little servant girl came in quickly, and when she saw Li Luo, she hurriedly said, "Mr. Li, look at this!"
The little maid handed over a small note and said, "This is the small note Madam saw! We found it!"
It turned out that the little maid came in a hurry because of this little note.
Li Luo took the note and looked at it, it was almost exactly the same as the small note he saw just now, with the same handwriting and content, Li Luo almost thought he was dazzled.
Just now Xie Changying and Li Luo were still suspicious that the note in their hands was Madam Qi's, but now it seems that someone may have deliberately slipped the note to Li Luo, wanting to meet Li Luo in the middle of the night.
Madam Qi was strangled to death in the middle of the night because of this note, if Li Luo really went to the appointment...
But when Fan Fan thought about it, Xie Changying's face turned completely dark.
Li Luo carefully observed the little note, and asked, "I searched for a long time and couldn't find it, where did you find this little note?"
The servant girl replied: "This one is in Madam's rouge box!"
The maid said that she had seen a small note that Madam Qi probably went to an appointment and then never returned.However, the little note that the maid said disappeared, and Li Luo and the others couldn't find it after searching for a long time.
After Li Luo and the others left, the maids were packing up Madam Qi's belongings together, putting away the rouge and powder.
The maid picked up a rouge box, which felt very light to the touch, and felt a little weird, so she opened it to look.
The servant girl said: "That is a box of rouge that Mrs. Qi likes very much. The box is very exquisite. I heard that it is a tribute from other countries! It is hard to find! So Madam is not willing to use it, and she doesn't ask us to touch it. on the case."
The maids would not dare to touch the box on weekdays, for fear of being scolded by the madam, who has the worst temper.
Now that the lady is gone, they packed up their things, picked it up and opened it, only to find that the box was empty, there was no rouge at all, and instead there was a small note.
"This is the note." The servant girl said: "The one I saw before was the one Madam received. Madam watched her dressing up in the middle of the night and then left."
Li Luo and Xie Changying looked at each other, then Li Luo said: "Leave the note first."
"It's Mr. Li." The servant girl said.
The maid left quickly, Li Luo put the two pieces of paper together and observed carefully, Zhao Shuangxi didn't know about this at first, but now she frowned.
Zhao Shuangxi said: "What does this mean? Someone invited Mrs. Qi and killed Mrs. Qi, and now they have an appointment with the adoptive father?"
Li Luo lowered his head and said: "It seems that this is the case, is someone going to kill me?"
Xie Changying's complexion was not good, and he said, "Who the hell is this person?"
Li Luo took a deep breath and said, "I don't know either. I never thought Madam Qi's death was really related to me."
First, he found a piece of Li Luo's jade pendant from Madam Qi, and now Li Luo received the same note from Madam Qi. If he said that it had nothing to do with Li Luo, Li Luo would not believe it!
"By the way, adoptive father." Zhao Shuangxi suddenly said: "Shuangxi asked someone to inquire about the matter of the old housekeeper earlier."
Li Luo's eyes lit up, and he said, "How's the situation, have you found the whereabouts of the box?"
The old housekeeper dug up the thing Li Luo buried in the soil, and that thing was most likely a box with a phoenix engraved on it, and this box was related to the current emperor's life experience. are very important.
Naturally, Li Luo really wanted to find this box and open it to see what was inside.
But the box had already been dug up by the old housekeeper, and he didn't know where to hide it, and the old housekeeper died suddenly, and it became a headless unsolved case, and he didn't know who to ask.
Zhao Shuangxi took the initiative to relieve Li Luo's worries, saying that he was going to inquire, but he did not expect to get news so soon.
Xie Changying folded his arms and said, "You are a young child, what can you find out?"
That's right, now that Xie Changying and Zhao Shuangxi are both children, not only their bodies have shrunk, but their abilities have also been greatly reduced.
In fact, Xie Changying also wanted to help with this matter, but the emperor was still staring at him, so it was difficult for him to investigate further, so as not to startle the snake.
Zhao Shuangxi smiled confidently, and said: "Shuangxi found out that the old butler received a large sum of money before his death."
Upon hearing this, Li Luo said with surprise on his face, "A large sum of money? You mean, the old housekeeper probably sold the Phoenix Box?"
Zhao Shuangxi nodded, and said, "The foster father's guess is not wrong."
The old housekeeper didn't have any valuables on him, but he suddenly sold something and got a lot of money, so Zhao Shuangxi followed this clue to inquire.
Zhao Shuangxi said: "It really made me inquire about something strange. The buyer of the old housekeeper is actually Madam Qi."
"Madam Qi?!" Li Luo opened his eyes wide, and said, "In other words, Madam Qi probably bought that Phoenix box? But..."
Now that Mrs. Qi is dead, the whereabouts of the phoenix box has become a mystery again.
Li Luo was thoughtful, and said: "It seems that I have to go to the appointment tonight."
"Too dangerous!"
"Too dangerous!"
Xie Changying and Zhao Shuangxi spoke in unison, with disapproval on their faces.
Li Luo saw that they rarely agreed, and said: "How can you catch a tiger if you don't enter the tiger's lair? I'm going to see who is playing tricks!"
"Then I'll follow you." Xie Changying said.
Zhao Shuangxi also hurriedly said: "I also want to go with my adoptive father, and I want to protect the safety of my adoptive father."
"Just you?" Xie Changying said disdainfully, "It's just a hindrance to go."
"My lord is my defeated general," Zhao Shuangxi said with a smirk, "You still have such a big tone?"
Li Luo hurriedly persuaded the fight, saying: "Don't quarrel, don't quarrel, everyone don't quarrel! It's a big deal and just follow along."
Xie Changying was dissatisfied with this, and said, "There are so many people going, it will scare the snake away."
"So the prince should not go, anyway, he can't help you." Zhao Shuangxi said.
Li Luo saw that persuading the fight failed, and a new round of fighting was about to start, or else...
"I'd better go eat first, I'm already hungry." Li Luo simply ran away, very dishonestly, he stopped trying to persuade the fight, ran out of the inner room, and continued to eat lunch outside.
Xie Changying and Zhao Shuangxi were going to continue their argument, but when they turned around, they found that Li Luo had run away, so they stopped arguing and walked out of the inner room.
They made up their minds to go to the appointment when they were ugly.But it's not a real appointment, Li Luo just wants to hide in the dark and observe quietly to see who is playing tricks.
After lunch, Li Luo lay down on the bed with his arms outstretched, looking comfortable, as if he was about to take a nap.
Xie Changying sat by the bed, gave Li Luo a strange look, and said, "Aren't you going to investigate the case?"
Mrs. Qi died suddenly, and the suspect has not been found, let alone who the murderer is.At this time, Li Luo should first ask everyone what they were doing last night, an alibi is very important.
After getting along with Li Luo for a long time, Xie Changying felt that she was going to know how to investigate cases.
Li Luo waved his hands comfortably, and said, "Don't worry, isn't this Li Wan, the upright Qing Qing of Dali Temple?"
Xie Changying immediately understood what Li Luo meant.
This case was guaranteed by Li Wuzheng, and Li Luo was invited to solve it. The time limit was only three to five days, which was very difficult.This case involved a lot, not only Li Luo was involved, but Li Wan was also involved.
Li Luo knew that Li Wan had been wronged, he would not just sit idly by, and would definitely actively solve the case.Li Wan is the Minister of Dali Temple, he knows best what to do to solve the case, so there is no need for Li Luo to run around to ask for the confession, Li Wan will definitely tidy up the confession as soon as possible.
Li Luo smiled and said: "I'm going to get a confession. These Li family members may not cooperate. It's different when Li Wan is in his early years. It will definitely take no effort, so we just need to sleep well and catch up on sleep. Go to the appointment when the night is ugly, and leave the rest to Li Wan first."
"That's true." Xie Changying nodded, and she simply lay down too, and even turned over, lying on her side, and put her arms around Li Luo's waist.
Li Luo was almost cut to death by little Xie Changying, and couldn't help but say, "Xiao Yingying is so cute."
Li Luo always praised him for being cute, Xie Changying was a little complacent at first, but after listening to it too much, he was inexplicably depressed.
Xie Changying hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you like children?"
"I like it." Li Luo held Xie Changying's small face, rubbed it back and forth in the palm of his hand, and said, "The kid is so cute, wow - I really want to bully him, hehehe."
Xie Changying saw that his eyes were all naked, and felt even more uncomfortable, and said, "But if you are with me, you won't have children."
When Li Luo heard this, he was rarely taken aback, and only then did he realize why Xie Changying had a stern, unhappy face, it turned out to be a misunderstanding.
Xie Changying and Li Luo are both men, Xie Changying can guarantee that he will never change his mind and will always be good to Li Luo, but he cannot have a child with Li Luo, and Li Luo seems to like children very much.
Li Luo continued to ravage Xie Changying's little face, and said, "Yingying, you misunderstood, you have to listen to me carefully. Although I like children very much, but first of all, this child must look like Yingying." Beautiful and cute, after all I am a beauty control!"
Xie Changying: "..." Li Luoyan's control was quite righteous.
Li Luo said again: "Secondly, this child must be as knowledgeable and understanding as Yingying, so that he does not cry or make trouble."
Xie Changying: "..." How can there be such high demands on children?
Li Luo said again: "Oh, by the way, it's best not to eat, drink, or play. After all, I'm not very good at taking care of people, and Yingying usually takes care of me."
Xie Changying: "..." I don't know what to say anymore.
"So Yingying," Li Luo said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this, I have Yingying enough. Well, although Xiaoyingying is also very cute, but I do miss Dayingying a little bit."
As he spoke, he leaned over and kissed Xie Changying on the cheek.
Xie Changying was suddenly a little embarrassed and helpless, thinking that he was so small now that he couldn't do anything, let alone Li Luo, he began to miss himself 15 years later, and hoped to go back soon.
"I need to catch up on sleep, Yingying should also rest, we have to get busy at night." Li Luo said.
Li Luo quickly fell asleep, and slept from noon until it was dark, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already pitch black outside.
Li Luo stretched and sat up. Xie Changying beside him was gone, and he presumably got up earlier.
"Yingying! Yingying!"
Li Luo hugged the quilt and sat on the bed, greeting him like a ghost.
Xie Changying walked in quickly, and said helplessly, "Are you awake?"
Li Luo nodded and said, "Well, where have you been?"
Xie Changying said: "Just now Li Wuzheng came, Li Wan also came, and Huang Jiu also came. I was afraid they would disturb your rest, so I went out and talked to them."
Li Luo slept all afternoon, but he didn't expect that there were quite a lot of people coming.
Just as Xie Changying expected, Li Wan had collected all the confessions of everyone in the house in one day.After collecting the confession, he came to Li Luo to ask how Li Luo was progressing. After all, Li Luo had accepted Li Wuzheng's commission and should try his best to solve the case.
Li Wan wanted to come to exchange information, but when he came, he was stunned, Li Luo was sound asleep, Xie Changying said not to disturb Li Luo.
Li Wan's face turned blue and white, and finally had no choice but to leave.
Later Huang Jiu also came. He wanted to ask if Li Luo had found any clues about the Phoenix Box. He also found that Li Luo was sleeping. He stood there in shock for a moment. also left.
The last ones came were Li Wuzheng and Cao Zhishui, needless to ask, they also came to inquire about the progress of the case.
When Li Wuzheng heard that Li Luo was sleeping, he was the one who had the least opinion. He just said, "Yes! I'm sleepy too. I don't know why, but it's easy to get sleepy in winter!"
Cao Zhishui followed Li Wuzheng, with no expression on his face, but his eyes showed distrust, and he might feel that Li Luo was a little unreliable.
Later, Li Wuzheng and Cao Zhishui also left, Li Luo slept until dark, and finally got up.
Li Luo yawned and asked, "How about Li Wan's statement? Is there anyone suspicious?"
Xie Changying shook his head and said, "I've already inquired for you, and there is no suspicious person."
Around Choushi, everyone was sleeping, and basically the answer was that they were sleeping too. There were no witnesses and nothing strange, and there were not even two people who said they went to the latrine. Everything was too peaceful.
"It's okay, it's okay." Li Luo waved his hand and said, "We have to go to an appointment later, this must be a new clue."
"I hope so." Xie Changying said.
Before Choushi, just around midnight, Li Luo took Xie Changying and Zhao Shuangxi and set off to camp on the rockery behind Li Wan's courtyard. They chose a hidden place to ambush. If someone came, they would definitely be able to See it at a glance.
The weather is a bit cold, and it's really a hard job to stay here in the middle of the night in winter. Fortunately, Li Luo took a nap in the afternoon, but he was not sleepy, but he felt very cold.
Li Luo was shivering from the cold and couldn't make a sound, Xie Changying looked distressed, and he didn't have any internal energy to warm Li Luo up, so he could only hold Li Luo's hand and rub it.
"Yingying's hands are so cold too." Li Luo whispered, and then simply hugged Xie Changying into his arms, and opened the cloak to surround Xie Changying.
In an instant, Xie Changying didn't feel cold anymore, but extremely warm.It was very warm inside the cloak, and the winter wind was still blocked by Li Luo, which was completely different from the freezing cold just now.
Xie Changying looked up at Li Luo, Li Luo smiled and said, "Is it warm?"
Inexplicably, Xie Changying felt a little touched, although Li Luo usually seems unreliable, but...
Before Xie Changying could finish being moved, Zhao Shuangxi over there took a look and squeezed over, saying, "Father, I'm cold too."
"Come on, then you come in too." Li Luo generously opened the cloak again, and surrounded Zhao Shuangxi.
The place for the cloak was limited, Xie Changying and Zhao Shuangxi immediately stuck together, both of them had expressions of disgust on their faces.
On the other hand, Li Luo was quite happy, hugging each other with one hand, muttering: "Wow, is this the feeling of hugging left and right? It's so luxurious."
Xie Changying: "..."
Zhao Shuangxi: "..."
Xie Changying was angry and helpless, she moved her butt, trying to push Zhao Shuangxi out, but Zhao Shuangxi didn't give in, and secretly wanted Xie Changying to be pushed out.
Li Luo didn't know that they were fighting openly and secretly, but said: "Why is there no movement, is it almost time?"
Seeing that Zishi is about to pass, and it is about to be ugly, Li Luo is about to freeze into a lump of ice, but there is still no one.
"Shh-"
Xie Changying suddenly raised his hand to press his lips, made a silent movement, and said, "Someone is here."
Li Luo immediately opened his eyes wide and carefully looked around the rockery. Did someone really come?
A black shadow came over, he walked very carefully, as if he was afraid of being discovered by others, taking a step like looking around twice.
Soon, Black Shadow stood beside the rockery, he should be waiting for someone.
Li Luo first looked at the black figure and felt familiar, then fixed his eyes and looked again, and whispered in surprise, "It's Li Wan!"
It's really Li Wan, there is no doubt that it's not just Li Wan alone, there are also people following Li Wan, who are on a dead tree opposite.
Xie Changying was very energetic and saw the person following Li Wan at a glance.Although the person was not wearing women's clothing and was covering his face, Xie Changying could still recognize that it was Huang Jiu.
Xie Changying didn't speak, but pulled La Liluo's sleeve to make him look up.When Li Luo raised his eyes, Huang Jiu happened to see them.
Huang Jiu unfolded his lightness kung fu, and landed on their side without a sound, and said in a low voice, "Why are you here?"
Li Luo asked, "What about you? How do you follow Li Wan?"
Huang Jiu said: "I noticed that his whereabouts were different. He didn't rest in the middle of the night, so I followed him to have a look. I don't know what he is doing? Could it be that he is waiting for someone?"
The time of ugliness has come, and there is no one around the rockery except Li Wan, and there are no other uninvited guests.
Li Luo and the others waited quietly for a while, and Li Wan who was near the rockery also waited for a while.
Li Luo raised his eyebrows suddenly and said, "It seems we have fallen for the trick."
"What do you mean?" Xie Changying asked.
Li Luo said: "Someone handed us a small note, telling us to come here in the middle of the night, the purpose is very likely to blame Li Wan."
Originally, Li Luo thought that the note he received was the same as Madam Qi's.But now it seems that although the characters are exactly the same, their uses are different.
Li Luo beckoned, and everyone simply walked out and stood in front of Li Wan.
Li Wan was taken aback, and said, "Why are you here? Could it be that... you were the one who gave me the note?"
Li Luo shook his head, took out a small note from his sleeve, and said, "We came here because we saw the note."
When Li Wan saw the note, she immediately took out a note from her pocket, and compared the two notes together, they were exactly the same, and the handwriting was obviously written by the same person.
Li Wan said: "How come you have a note? I also have it here. Who left it?"
Someone left a note for Madam Qi and asked Madam Qi to meet, with the purpose of killing Madam Qi.However, someone left a note for Li Luo and Li Wan, not to kill them, but to make them fight among themselves and suspect each other.
Li Luo said: "I'm a smart person, I won't be fooled by this little trick."
Li Wan frowned and said, "Who is this person? He came and went without a trace in Li's house."
Three notes appeared, but the person who wrote the notes was not revealed at all, and indeed came and went without a trace.
Li Luo stretched his waist and said: "It seems that there is no other harvest tonight."
Li Wan nodded, his face full of deep thought.He raised his head suddenly, only then did he notice that there was a tall person standing beside Li Luo, who was actually wearing night clothes and covered his face, but the pair of exposed eyes made him feel very familiar.
Li Wan asked, "This is..."
Huang Jiu was startled, subconsciously lowered his head, and didn't speak.
Li Luo was calm and said: "This is the guard of the palace, he came to protect the prince's safety."
"So that's the case." Li Wan nodded without thinking too much, and said casually, "It looks kind of nice."
When Huang Jiu heard this, he didn't dare to raise his head anymore, and stood beside him in an orderly manner, not daring to make a sound, for fear that Li Wan would recognize him.
Li Luo smiled and joked, "My lord Li, are you trying to strike up a conversation? You have fallen in love with Miss Huang at first sight, so why are you going to move on now? Are you falling in love with our palace guards at first sight?"
"How is this possible?" Li Wan frowned, and said sternly, "I didn't mean to strike up a conversation." Li Wan felt that he couldn't beat Li Luo, so he simply said, "It seems that I didn't get anything tonight, so I'll go back first."
"Let's go back too." Li Luo rubbed his hands together and said, "I almost froze to death, I turned into a popsicle!"
After a busy night, there was no real progress, except that there was a small note from Li Wan.
Li Luo ran back to the room, closed the door, hugged a small heater in his hands, and then felt more comfortable, and said, "Is the note sold wholesale? How come everyone has a copy."
Xie Changying said: "Let's rest today, it's been almost two days."
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Zhao Shuangxi, and said, "You can go back."
Zhao Shuangxi was obviously unwilling to leave, and said, "I want to stay and rest."
"No." Xie Changying said coldly.
"Father!" Zhao Shuangxi ran up to Li Luo, and took Li Luo's hand to act coquettishly, but Xie Changying immediately pushed Zhao Shuangxi away, saying, "There is no place for you here."
Zhao Shuangxi and Xie Changying almost fought again, but in the end there was no other way, Zhao Shuangxi was still going to obediently go back to the next door to rest.
Watching them fight, Li Luo suddenly laughed, always felt that Xie Changying was like a stepmother in a fairy tale, especially mean.
"Mr. Li! Are you inside, Mr. Li?"
Zhao Shuangxi was about to leave with her head down, when the door outside was knocked.
"Is it Cao Zhishui's voice?" Li Luo asked.
Cao Zhishui was like a little mute. He hardly spoke after he came to Li's house, but his voice was very characteristic. He was young and not generally good-looking, but his voice was slightly hoarse like that of a different child.
Li Luo immediately opened the door and said, "It's really you, looking for me so late?"
Cao Zhishui's rare face was not paralyzed, but anxious, and said: "Mr. Li, the young master is gone, and I can't find it anywhere. What should I do? He disappeared suddenly, I..."
Cao Zhishui was so anxious that he began to speak incoherently.
Li Luo hurriedly asked, "Li Wuzheng is gone?"
Cao Zhishui nodded and said, "Yes, it disappeared suddenly."
In the middle of the night, Cao Zhishui and Li Wuzheng slept in the same room.Unexpectedly, Cao Zhishui woke up suddenly, opened his eyes and saw that Li Wuzheng on the bed disappeared out of thin air without a trace.
Cao Zhishui originally thought that Li Wuzheng had gone out to pay respects and would be back soon, but after waiting for a while, Cao Zhishui was completely relieved of sleepiness, and Li Wuzheng did not come back either.
Cao Zhishui was in a hurry now, so he put on his clothes and looked for someone, but he went around a lot and looked at all the places Li Wuzheng liked to stay, but he still couldn't find anyone.
"Could it be that you have encountered some danger?" Cao Zhishui asked.
A person in the Li family just died, and Li Wuzheng issued a military order saying that the murderer would definitely be found. Cao Zhishui was worried whether the murderer wanted to act first and get rid of Li Wuzheng.
Cao Zhishui also had no choice, so he ran to Li Luo, wanting Li Luo to help find Li Wuzheng.
Don't sleep now, everyone immediately took action and ran out to find someone.
Guessing that there was too much movement, Li Wan didn't take a break there, and ran over when he heard the news, saying, "It's all right, why didn't it disappear?"
It was too late to say this now, Li Wan called servants over again, and together they searched for Li Wuzheng's traces, wishing to turn the entire Li family upside down.
Mrs. Qi just died last night, and the young master was lost this night. Almost everyone in the Li family was woken up, but Li Wuzheng still couldn't find it, as if it was reality out of thin air.
"Ah! Look! It's on fire! It's on fire!"
A little maid pointed to the distance and suddenly shouted.
Li Luo looked back, there was indeed a fire, I don't know where it came from, but it was quite clear in the middle of the night.
Li Wan immediately said: "Come on, hurry up and put out the fire!"
Everyone ran to the place where the fire was on fire, and saw that the dining room was on fire, billowing black smoke was coming out, and the fire was jumping, and the fire was not small.
"Cough cough!"
"cough!"
"help!"
"Come on, burn me to death!"
From the place where the black smoke came out, a child's cry for help suddenly came, accompanied by the sound of coughing, which was not very real.
"It's Li Wuzheng's voice!"
Li Luo was the first to say, "It's inside!"
Cao Zhishui squinted his eyes, and was about to rush towards the thick smoke and fire. Li Luo had quick eyesight and quick hands, grabbed Cao Zhishui by the back collar, and dragged him off.
Li Luo said: "The fire is too big, you can't go in, it's dangerous!"
Cao Zhishui is just a child now, and he doesn't know martial arts. If he goes in, he will die in vain. He won't be able to save Li Wuzheng, and he will lose his life.
"I go."
Suddenly someone said such a sentence, very short and concise, and saw a goose-yellow figure passing by, someone had already entered the sea of fire, it was Huang Jiu who had just arrived.
Huang Jiu had changed into women's clothes and was about to rest, but when he heard about the fire, he rushed to find a child in the sea of flames.
Huang Jiu is not a cold-blooded person, so he rushed in immediately after launching his lightness kung fu.
Li Wan called out "Miss Huang", and immediately ran in with light kung fu.
As soon as he entered, his whole body was scorching hot, he couldn't open his smoky eyes, there were burnt things everywhere, it was so messy that it was impossible to see what was what.
Huang Jiu was very calm. After entering, he followed the voice and found Li Wuzheng. He hugged Li Wuzheng and returned to the original way relying on his sense of direction.
Li Wan came in a step late, and because of the heavy smoke, he lost Huang Jiu's trail as soon as he came in, and he stood there a little confused and at a loss.
"go!"
Huang Jiu was holding Li Wuzheng with one hand, steady. When he turned back, he happened to see Li Wan, and with the other hand, he grabbed Li Wan's wrist and led him out quickly.
"Come out." Li Luo opened his eyes wide.
Seeing that they had really rescued Li Wuzheng, everyone quickly surrounded them.
Cao Zhishui grabbed Li Wuzheng, his hands were shaking with fright, and said, "How are you? Are you injured?"
Li Wuzheng's cheeks were dark, and his cheeks were pale. He was crying, and he didn't know whether he was scared by the smoke or because he was too clueless, but he shed a lot of tears anyway.
Seeing Cao Zhishui now, he hugged Cao Zhishui's waist and cried loudly, "I was scared to death, I thought I would never see you again, woo woo woo..."
Seeing him crying so sadly, Cao Zhishui didn't have the heart to push him away, so he also hugged him and patted his back, saying, "Don't cry, it's all right now."
The fire was still burning, and the servants carried water to put out the fire, and it took a long time to extinguish the fire.Fortunately, it was only the dining room that caught fire, and no other places were burned.
Li Luo was also relieved, and everyone went back to the room together, sending Li Wuzheng back first, the child must have been terrified.
They entered Li Wuzheng's room and asked Li Wuzheng to sit down and drink some water to catch his breath.
Li Wan frowned and said, "Wu Zheng, tell my little uncle, who kidnapped you, and even set fire to burn you to death?"
Li Wuzheng was drinking water, unable to speak for a while, so he shook his head.
Li Wan said: "But I didn't see the appearance of that person clearly? How about his voice? Is there anything unusual about him?"
"Little uncle..." Li Wuzheng looked at Li Wan in confusion, and said, "What are you talking about? No one kidnapped me!"
Li Luo was confused when he heard this, and said, "No one kidnapped you? Then why did you show up in the dining room in the middle of the night? You were almost burned to death."
Speaking of this, Li Wuzheng was a little bit expectant.
He didn't want to say it at first, but he couldn't bear to ask him so much, so Li Wuzheng had no choice but to tell the truth.
It turned out that Cao Zhishui's birthday was just around the corner. Li Wuzheng wanted to prepare a birthday present for Cao Zhishui, but he didn't know what to prepare, so he came up with a whim and wanted to cook him a bowl of longevity noodles!
However, Li Wuzheng is a young master who doesn't know how to cook at all, so he wants to practice secretly and prepare in advance so as not to make it too unpalatable.
So Li Wuzheng disappeared in the middle of the night, and he ran out secretly, no wonder Cao Zhishui was unconscious.
Li Wuzheng touched the dining room in the middle of the night, and started to cook decently, kneading noodles and boiling water, thinking that after kneading noodles by himself, the water just boiled, and he could put it into the pot Cooking noodles is not too difficult.
It's just that Li Wuzheng made it worse and worse. After working for a long time, he realized that the noodles he made were different from others', and he didn't know whether they were delicious or not.
After the water boiled, Li Wuzheng put the noodles into the pot and continued to cook the noodles. Who knew that while the noodles were cooking, Li Wuzheng fell asleep.
Li Wuzheng scratched the back of his head, and said aggrievedly: "I'm too sleepy, and I'm so tired. Sitting next to the big pot, waiting for the noodles to be cooked, I fell asleep right away. Later... Later... ..."
Later, Li Wuzheng woke up from the smoke, and found that the noodles were mushy, the house was on fire, and there was a sea of flames everywhere.
Li Wan's face darkened the more he heard it, and said: "You don't know how to cook and you go to the dining room, and you go there secretly. Do you know how long we've been looking for you, are you going to scare us all to death?"
Li Wuzheng knew that he had done something wrong, so he lowered his head with a good attitude, and said, "Little uncle, I was wrong, and I didn't know that the pot would dry up and catch fire... I just..."
Cao Zhishui next to him also had a dark face, he was moved and angry, and worried.
Cao Zhishui said coldly, "I hate noodles the most."
Upon hearing this, Li Wuzheng said, "This... so, what do you like to eat, I'll make it for you!"
Cao Zhishui said: "I don't like to eat anything."
In fact, Cao Zhishui didn't like or dislike anything, but Li Wuzheng caught fire while cooking, it was too dangerous, so he didn't like to eat anything, just hoped that he wouldn't go into the kitchen again.
"Okay, okay, don't scold him." Li Luo smoothed things over with a smile and said, "It can't all be blamed on him."
Xie Changying folded his arms beside him, and also felt that Li Wuzheng was too unreliable, and said, "Fire is a big deal, so don't speak for him. If he doesn't have a long memory today, he might commit another crime in the future. This time he is lucky." , was not burned to death, what if there is a next time?"
Xie Changying was just like a grown-up, but what he said made sense, and others felt that it was the case, and Li Wuzheng had to be taught a good lesson to let him know how important it is.
Li Wuzheng lowered his head and said, "I really know I was wrong."
Li Luo shook his head and said, "Let me tell you, think about it carefully, if the fire is really a fire in a pot, and it was caused by Li Wuzheng cooking noodles, then can Li Wuzheng still be so good now?"
When he said this, everyone was stunned for a moment, they were stopped by Li Luo's question.
Li Luo said: "I don't blame Li Wuzheng for this, it's because the fire is too strange, it doesn't look like Li Wuzheng's kitchen."
After listening to Li Wuzheng's narration just now, everyone had preconceived ideas, thinking that the cooking noodles must have set fire to the kitchen. In fact, even Li Wuzheng thought so.
Li Wuzheng was confused, scratched the back of his head, and said, "What's going on?"
Li Luo said: "Li Wuzheng cooked noodles, he fell asleep next to the pot, so close to the pot,
Li Luo bent down to pick up the little note, looked down, and asked in surprise, "What is this?"
Xie Changying also frowned, the handwriting on the note was very unfamiliar, this note suddenly appeared on Li Luo's body, someone must have deliberately put it in Li Luo's sleeve, but Xie Changying didn't notice it at all.
At this time, Xie Changying's face was dark enough, and she was angry and blamed herself. If she became herself in 15 years, she would definitely find someone doing such a small trick, but right now...
Xie Changying was only four or five years old, and he didn't have internal strength, so it was hard to detect any clues that someone had slipped away.
Li Luo couldn't remember when this note appeared, and he didn't know who it was or how it slipped into his sleeve.
"I guess it was in Li Wan's room." Li Luo thought for a while. When Mrs. Qi's body was found, many people were watching. It was very difficult for Li Luo to squeeze into Li Wan's room to see what happened.
If someone wants to put the note in Li Luo's sleeve without anyone noticing it, then is the best time to succeed.
But there was a problem, there were so many people at that time, Li Luo couldn't remember who was around him at all, so Li Luo had no memory at all of who put the little note over.
Xie Changying took the note, frowned, read it carefully twice, and said, "Is this the note Madam Qi received?"
There is no signature on the note, and it is endless, and it is not written to whom.It just said Chou Shi, the place where they met was next to the rockery behind the garden.
Li Luo said, "It's the rockery behind Li Wan's house, it's only separated by a wall."
Xie Changying nodded.
While they were talking, Zhao Shuangxi knocked on the door and walked in, saying, "Father? Have you changed your clothes yet? Madam Qi's little maid is looking for you outside."
Li Luo asked strangely: "Madam Qi's little maid is looking for me?"
Zhao Shuangxi nodded, he didn't know what the little girl was looking for Li Luo, after all, Zhao Shuangxi is also a little girl now, so the little girl didn't want to tell him, just pretending that he didn't understand anything.
Li Luo said: "Call me in."
The little servant girl came in quickly, and when she saw Li Luo, she hurriedly said, "Mr. Li, look at this!"
The little maid handed over a small note and said, "This is the small note Madam saw! We found it!"
It turned out that the little maid came in a hurry because of this little note.
Li Luo took the note and looked at it, it was almost exactly the same as the small note he saw just now, with the same handwriting and content, Li Luo almost thought he was dazzled.
Just now Xie Changying and Li Luo were still suspicious that the note in their hands was Madam Qi's, but now it seems that someone may have deliberately slipped the note to Li Luo, wanting to meet Li Luo in the middle of the night.
Madam Qi was strangled to death in the middle of the night because of this note, if Li Luo really went to the appointment...
But when Fan Fan thought about it, Xie Changying's face turned completely dark.
Li Luo carefully observed the little note, and asked, "I searched for a long time and couldn't find it, where did you find this little note?"
The servant girl replied: "This one is in Madam's rouge box!"
The maid said that she had seen a small note that Madam Qi probably went to an appointment and then never returned.However, the little note that the maid said disappeared, and Li Luo and the others couldn't find it after searching for a long time.
After Li Luo and the others left, the maids were packing up Madam Qi's belongings together, putting away the rouge and powder.
The maid picked up a rouge box, which felt very light to the touch, and felt a little weird, so she opened it to look.
The servant girl said: "That is a box of rouge that Mrs. Qi likes very much. The box is very exquisite. I heard that it is a tribute from other countries! It is hard to find! So Madam is not willing to use it, and she doesn't ask us to touch it. on the case."
The maids would not dare to touch the box on weekdays, for fear of being scolded by the madam, who has the worst temper.
Now that the lady is gone, they packed up their things, picked it up and opened it, only to find that the box was empty, there was no rouge at all, and instead there was a small note.
"This is the note." The servant girl said: "The one I saw before was the one Madam received. Madam watched her dressing up in the middle of the night and then left."
Li Luo and Xie Changying looked at each other, then Li Luo said: "Leave the note first."
"It's Mr. Li." The servant girl said.
The maid left quickly, Li Luo put the two pieces of paper together and observed carefully, Zhao Shuangxi didn't know about this at first, but now she frowned.
Zhao Shuangxi said: "What does this mean? Someone invited Mrs. Qi and killed Mrs. Qi, and now they have an appointment with the adoptive father?"
Li Luo lowered his head and said: "It seems that this is the case, is someone going to kill me?"
Xie Changying's complexion was not good, and he said, "Who the hell is this person?"
Li Luo took a deep breath and said, "I don't know either. I never thought Madam Qi's death was really related to me."
First, he found a piece of Li Luo's jade pendant from Madam Qi, and now Li Luo received the same note from Madam Qi. If he said that it had nothing to do with Li Luo, Li Luo would not believe it!
"By the way, adoptive father." Zhao Shuangxi suddenly said: "Shuangxi asked someone to inquire about the matter of the old housekeeper earlier."
Li Luo's eyes lit up, and he said, "How's the situation, have you found the whereabouts of the box?"
The old housekeeper dug up the thing Li Luo buried in the soil, and that thing was most likely a box with a phoenix engraved on it, and this box was related to the current emperor's life experience. are very important.
Naturally, Li Luo really wanted to find this box and open it to see what was inside.
But the box had already been dug up by the old housekeeper, and he didn't know where to hide it, and the old housekeeper died suddenly, and it became a headless unsolved case, and he didn't know who to ask.
Zhao Shuangxi took the initiative to relieve Li Luo's worries, saying that he was going to inquire, but he did not expect to get news so soon.
Xie Changying folded his arms and said, "You are a young child, what can you find out?"
That's right, now that Xie Changying and Zhao Shuangxi are both children, not only their bodies have shrunk, but their abilities have also been greatly reduced.
In fact, Xie Changying also wanted to help with this matter, but the emperor was still staring at him, so it was difficult for him to investigate further, so as not to startle the snake.
Zhao Shuangxi smiled confidently, and said: "Shuangxi found out that the old butler received a large sum of money before his death."
Upon hearing this, Li Luo said with surprise on his face, "A large sum of money? You mean, the old housekeeper probably sold the Phoenix Box?"
Zhao Shuangxi nodded, and said, "The foster father's guess is not wrong."
The old housekeeper didn't have any valuables on him, but he suddenly sold something and got a lot of money, so Zhao Shuangxi followed this clue to inquire.
Zhao Shuangxi said: "It really made me inquire about something strange. The buyer of the old housekeeper is actually Madam Qi."
"Madam Qi?!" Li Luo opened his eyes wide, and said, "In other words, Madam Qi probably bought that Phoenix box? But..."
Now that Mrs. Qi is dead, the whereabouts of the phoenix box has become a mystery again.
Li Luo was thoughtful, and said: "It seems that I have to go to the appointment tonight."
"Too dangerous!"
"Too dangerous!"
Xie Changying and Zhao Shuangxi spoke in unison, with disapproval on their faces.
Li Luo saw that they rarely agreed, and said: "How can you catch a tiger if you don't enter the tiger's lair? I'm going to see who is playing tricks!"
"Then I'll follow you." Xie Changying said.
Zhao Shuangxi also hurriedly said: "I also want to go with my adoptive father, and I want to protect the safety of my adoptive father."
"Just you?" Xie Changying said disdainfully, "It's just a hindrance to go."
"My lord is my defeated general," Zhao Shuangxi said with a smirk, "You still have such a big tone?"
Li Luo hurriedly persuaded the fight, saying: "Don't quarrel, don't quarrel, everyone don't quarrel! It's a big deal and just follow along."
Xie Changying was dissatisfied with this, and said, "There are so many people going, it will scare the snake away."
"So the prince should not go, anyway, he can't help you." Zhao Shuangxi said.
Li Luo saw that persuading the fight failed, and a new round of fighting was about to start, or else...
"I'd better go eat first, I'm already hungry." Li Luo simply ran away, very dishonestly, he stopped trying to persuade the fight, ran out of the inner room, and continued to eat lunch outside.
Xie Changying and Zhao Shuangxi were going to continue their argument, but when they turned around, they found that Li Luo had run away, so they stopped arguing and walked out of the inner room.
They made up their minds to go to the appointment when they were ugly.But it's not a real appointment, Li Luo just wants to hide in the dark and observe quietly to see who is playing tricks.
After lunch, Li Luo lay down on the bed with his arms outstretched, looking comfortable, as if he was about to take a nap.
Xie Changying sat by the bed, gave Li Luo a strange look, and said, "Aren't you going to investigate the case?"
Mrs. Qi died suddenly, and the suspect has not been found, let alone who the murderer is.At this time, Li Luo should first ask everyone what they were doing last night, an alibi is very important.
After getting along with Li Luo for a long time, Xie Changying felt that she was going to know how to investigate cases.
Li Luo waved his hands comfortably, and said, "Don't worry, isn't this Li Wan, the upright Qing Qing of Dali Temple?"
Xie Changying immediately understood what Li Luo meant.
This case was guaranteed by Li Wuzheng, and Li Luo was invited to solve it. The time limit was only three to five days, which was very difficult.This case involved a lot, not only Li Luo was involved, but Li Wan was also involved.
Li Luo knew that Li Wan had been wronged, he would not just sit idly by, and would definitely actively solve the case.Li Wan is the Minister of Dali Temple, he knows best what to do to solve the case, so there is no need for Li Luo to run around to ask for the confession, Li Wan will definitely tidy up the confession as soon as possible.
Li Luo smiled and said: "I'm going to get a confession. These Li family members may not cooperate. It's different when Li Wan is in his early years. It will definitely take no effort, so we just need to sleep well and catch up on sleep. Go to the appointment when the night is ugly, and leave the rest to Li Wan first."
"That's true." Xie Changying nodded, and she simply lay down too, and even turned over, lying on her side, and put her arms around Li Luo's waist.
Li Luo was almost cut to death by little Xie Changying, and couldn't help but say, "Xiao Yingying is so cute."
Li Luo always praised him for being cute, Xie Changying was a little complacent at first, but after listening to it too much, he was inexplicably depressed.
Xie Changying hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you like children?"
"I like it." Li Luo held Xie Changying's small face, rubbed it back and forth in the palm of his hand, and said, "The kid is so cute, wow - I really want to bully him, hehehe."
Xie Changying saw that his eyes were all naked, and felt even more uncomfortable, and said, "But if you are with me, you won't have children."
When Li Luo heard this, he was rarely taken aback, and only then did he realize why Xie Changying had a stern, unhappy face, it turned out to be a misunderstanding.
Xie Changying and Li Luo are both men, Xie Changying can guarantee that he will never change his mind and will always be good to Li Luo, but he cannot have a child with Li Luo, and Li Luo seems to like children very much.
Li Luo continued to ravage Xie Changying's little face, and said, "Yingying, you misunderstood, you have to listen to me carefully. Although I like children very much, but first of all, this child must look like Yingying." Beautiful and cute, after all I am a beauty control!"
Xie Changying: "..." Li Luoyan's control was quite righteous.
Li Luo said again: "Secondly, this child must be as knowledgeable and understanding as Yingying, so that he does not cry or make trouble."
Xie Changying: "..." How can there be such high demands on children?
Li Luo said again: "Oh, by the way, it's best not to eat, drink, or play. After all, I'm not very good at taking care of people, and Yingying usually takes care of me."
Xie Changying: "..." I don't know what to say anymore.
"So Yingying," Li Luo said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this, I have Yingying enough. Well, although Xiaoyingying is also very cute, but I do miss Dayingying a little bit."
As he spoke, he leaned over and kissed Xie Changying on the cheek.
Xie Changying was suddenly a little embarrassed and helpless, thinking that he was so small now that he couldn't do anything, let alone Li Luo, he began to miss himself 15 years later, and hoped to go back soon.
"I need to catch up on sleep, Yingying should also rest, we have to get busy at night." Li Luo said.
Li Luo quickly fell asleep, and slept from noon until it was dark, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already pitch black outside.
Li Luo stretched and sat up. Xie Changying beside him was gone, and he presumably got up earlier.
"Yingying! Yingying!"
Li Luo hugged the quilt and sat on the bed, greeting him like a ghost.
Xie Changying walked in quickly, and said helplessly, "Are you awake?"
Li Luo nodded and said, "Well, where have you been?"
Xie Changying said: "Just now Li Wuzheng came, Li Wan also came, and Huang Jiu also came. I was afraid they would disturb your rest, so I went out and talked to them."
Li Luo slept all afternoon, but he didn't expect that there were quite a lot of people coming.
Just as Xie Changying expected, Li Wan had collected all the confessions of everyone in the house in one day.After collecting the confession, he came to Li Luo to ask how Li Luo was progressing. After all, Li Luo had accepted Li Wuzheng's commission and should try his best to solve the case.
Li Wan wanted to come to exchange information, but when he came, he was stunned, Li Luo was sound asleep, Xie Changying said not to disturb Li Luo.
Li Wan's face turned blue and white, and finally had no choice but to leave.
Later Huang Jiu also came. He wanted to ask if Li Luo had found any clues about the Phoenix Box. He also found that Li Luo was sleeping. He stood there in shock for a moment. also left.
The last ones came were Li Wuzheng and Cao Zhishui, needless to ask, they also came to inquire about the progress of the case.
When Li Wuzheng heard that Li Luo was sleeping, he was the one who had the least opinion. He just said, "Yes! I'm sleepy too. I don't know why, but it's easy to get sleepy in winter!"
Cao Zhishui followed Li Wuzheng, with no expression on his face, but his eyes showed distrust, and he might feel that Li Luo was a little unreliable.
Later, Li Wuzheng and Cao Zhishui also left, Li Luo slept until dark, and finally got up.
Li Luo yawned and asked, "How about Li Wan's statement? Is there anyone suspicious?"
Xie Changying shook his head and said, "I've already inquired for you, and there is no suspicious person."
Around Choushi, everyone was sleeping, and basically the answer was that they were sleeping too. There were no witnesses and nothing strange, and there were not even two people who said they went to the latrine. Everything was too peaceful.
"It's okay, it's okay." Li Luo waved his hand and said, "We have to go to an appointment later, this must be a new clue."
"I hope so." Xie Changying said.
Before Choushi, just around midnight, Li Luo took Xie Changying and Zhao Shuangxi and set off to camp on the rockery behind Li Wan's courtyard. They chose a hidden place to ambush. If someone came, they would definitely be able to See it at a glance.
The weather is a bit cold, and it's really a hard job to stay here in the middle of the night in winter. Fortunately, Li Luo took a nap in the afternoon, but he was not sleepy, but he felt very cold.
Li Luo was shivering from the cold and couldn't make a sound, Xie Changying looked distressed, and he didn't have any internal energy to warm Li Luo up, so he could only hold Li Luo's hand and rub it.
"Yingying's hands are so cold too." Li Luo whispered, and then simply hugged Xie Changying into his arms, and opened the cloak to surround Xie Changying.
In an instant, Xie Changying didn't feel cold anymore, but extremely warm.It was very warm inside the cloak, and the winter wind was still blocked by Li Luo, which was completely different from the freezing cold just now.
Xie Changying looked up at Li Luo, Li Luo smiled and said, "Is it warm?"
Inexplicably, Xie Changying felt a little touched, although Li Luo usually seems unreliable, but...
Before Xie Changying could finish being moved, Zhao Shuangxi over there took a look and squeezed over, saying, "Father, I'm cold too."
"Come on, then you come in too." Li Luo generously opened the cloak again, and surrounded Zhao Shuangxi.
The place for the cloak was limited, Xie Changying and Zhao Shuangxi immediately stuck together, both of them had expressions of disgust on their faces.
On the other hand, Li Luo was quite happy, hugging each other with one hand, muttering: "Wow, is this the feeling of hugging left and right? It's so luxurious."
Xie Changying: "..."
Zhao Shuangxi: "..."
Xie Changying was angry and helpless, she moved her butt, trying to push Zhao Shuangxi out, but Zhao Shuangxi didn't give in, and secretly wanted Xie Changying to be pushed out.
Li Luo didn't know that they were fighting openly and secretly, but said: "Why is there no movement, is it almost time?"
Seeing that Zishi is about to pass, and it is about to be ugly, Li Luo is about to freeze into a lump of ice, but there is still no one.
"Shh-"
Xie Changying suddenly raised his hand to press his lips, made a silent movement, and said, "Someone is here."
Li Luo immediately opened his eyes wide and carefully looked around the rockery. Did someone really come?
A black shadow came over, he walked very carefully, as if he was afraid of being discovered by others, taking a step like looking around twice.
Soon, Black Shadow stood beside the rockery, he should be waiting for someone.
Li Luo first looked at the black figure and felt familiar, then fixed his eyes and looked again, and whispered in surprise, "It's Li Wan!"
It's really Li Wan, there is no doubt that it's not just Li Wan alone, there are also people following Li Wan, who are on a dead tree opposite.
Xie Changying was very energetic and saw the person following Li Wan at a glance.Although the person was not wearing women's clothing and was covering his face, Xie Changying could still recognize that it was Huang Jiu.
Xie Changying didn't speak, but pulled La Liluo's sleeve to make him look up.When Li Luo raised his eyes, Huang Jiu happened to see them.
Huang Jiu unfolded his lightness kung fu, and landed on their side without a sound, and said in a low voice, "Why are you here?"
Li Luo asked, "What about you? How do you follow Li Wan?"
Huang Jiu said: "I noticed that his whereabouts were different. He didn't rest in the middle of the night, so I followed him to have a look. I don't know what he is doing? Could it be that he is waiting for someone?"
The time of ugliness has come, and there is no one around the rockery except Li Wan, and there are no other uninvited guests.
Li Luo and the others waited quietly for a while, and Li Wan who was near the rockery also waited for a while.
Li Luo raised his eyebrows suddenly and said, "It seems we have fallen for the trick."
"What do you mean?" Xie Changying asked.
Li Luo said: "Someone handed us a small note, telling us to come here in the middle of the night, the purpose is very likely to blame Li Wan."
Originally, Li Luo thought that the note he received was the same as Madam Qi's.But now it seems that although the characters are exactly the same, their uses are different.
Li Luo beckoned, and everyone simply walked out and stood in front of Li Wan.
Li Wan was taken aback, and said, "Why are you here? Could it be that... you were the one who gave me the note?"
Li Luo shook his head, took out a small note from his sleeve, and said, "We came here because we saw the note."
When Li Wan saw the note, she immediately took out a note from her pocket, and compared the two notes together, they were exactly the same, and the handwriting was obviously written by the same person.
Li Wan said: "How come you have a note? I also have it here. Who left it?"
Someone left a note for Madam Qi and asked Madam Qi to meet, with the purpose of killing Madam Qi.However, someone left a note for Li Luo and Li Wan, not to kill them, but to make them fight among themselves and suspect each other.
Li Luo said: "I'm a smart person, I won't be fooled by this little trick."
Li Wan frowned and said, "Who is this person? He came and went without a trace in Li's house."
Three notes appeared, but the person who wrote the notes was not revealed at all, and indeed came and went without a trace.
Li Luo stretched his waist and said: "It seems that there is no other harvest tonight."
Li Wan nodded, his face full of deep thought.He raised his head suddenly, only then did he notice that there was a tall person standing beside Li Luo, who was actually wearing night clothes and covered his face, but the pair of exposed eyes made him feel very familiar.
Li Wan asked, "This is..."
Huang Jiu was startled, subconsciously lowered his head, and didn't speak.
Li Luo was calm and said: "This is the guard of the palace, he came to protect the prince's safety."
"So that's the case." Li Wan nodded without thinking too much, and said casually, "It looks kind of nice."
When Huang Jiu heard this, he didn't dare to raise his head anymore, and stood beside him in an orderly manner, not daring to make a sound, for fear that Li Wan would recognize him.
Li Luo smiled and joked, "My lord Li, are you trying to strike up a conversation? You have fallen in love with Miss Huang at first sight, so why are you going to move on now? Are you falling in love with our palace guards at first sight?"
"How is this possible?" Li Wan frowned, and said sternly, "I didn't mean to strike up a conversation." Li Wan felt that he couldn't beat Li Luo, so he simply said, "It seems that I didn't get anything tonight, so I'll go back first."
"Let's go back too." Li Luo rubbed his hands together and said, "I almost froze to death, I turned into a popsicle!"
After a busy night, there was no real progress, except that there was a small note from Li Wan.
Li Luo ran back to the room, closed the door, hugged a small heater in his hands, and then felt more comfortable, and said, "Is the note sold wholesale? How come everyone has a copy."
Xie Changying said: "Let's rest today, it's been almost two days."
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Zhao Shuangxi, and said, "You can go back."
Zhao Shuangxi was obviously unwilling to leave, and said, "I want to stay and rest."
"No." Xie Changying said coldly.
"Father!" Zhao Shuangxi ran up to Li Luo, and took Li Luo's hand to act coquettishly, but Xie Changying immediately pushed Zhao Shuangxi away, saying, "There is no place for you here."
Zhao Shuangxi and Xie Changying almost fought again, but in the end there was no other way, Zhao Shuangxi was still going to obediently go back to the next door to rest.
Watching them fight, Li Luo suddenly laughed, always felt that Xie Changying was like a stepmother in a fairy tale, especially mean.
"Mr. Li! Are you inside, Mr. Li?"
Zhao Shuangxi was about to leave with her head down, when the door outside was knocked.
"Is it Cao Zhishui's voice?" Li Luo asked.
Cao Zhishui was like a little mute. He hardly spoke after he came to Li's house, but his voice was very characteristic. He was young and not generally good-looking, but his voice was slightly hoarse like that of a different child.
Li Luo immediately opened the door and said, "It's really you, looking for me so late?"
Cao Zhishui's rare face was not paralyzed, but anxious, and said: "Mr. Li, the young master is gone, and I can't find it anywhere. What should I do? He disappeared suddenly, I..."
Cao Zhishui was so anxious that he began to speak incoherently.
Li Luo hurriedly asked, "Li Wuzheng is gone?"
Cao Zhishui nodded and said, "Yes, it disappeared suddenly."
In the middle of the night, Cao Zhishui and Li Wuzheng slept in the same room.Unexpectedly, Cao Zhishui woke up suddenly, opened his eyes and saw that Li Wuzheng on the bed disappeared out of thin air without a trace.
Cao Zhishui originally thought that Li Wuzheng had gone out to pay respects and would be back soon, but after waiting for a while, Cao Zhishui was completely relieved of sleepiness, and Li Wuzheng did not come back either.
Cao Zhishui was in a hurry now, so he put on his clothes and looked for someone, but he went around a lot and looked at all the places Li Wuzheng liked to stay, but he still couldn't find anyone.
"Could it be that you have encountered some danger?" Cao Zhishui asked.
A person in the Li family just died, and Li Wuzheng issued a military order saying that the murderer would definitely be found. Cao Zhishui was worried whether the murderer wanted to act first and get rid of Li Wuzheng.
Cao Zhishui also had no choice, so he ran to Li Luo, wanting Li Luo to help find Li Wuzheng.
Don't sleep now, everyone immediately took action and ran out to find someone.
Guessing that there was too much movement, Li Wan didn't take a break there, and ran over when he heard the news, saying, "It's all right, why didn't it disappear?"
It was too late to say this now, Li Wan called servants over again, and together they searched for Li Wuzheng's traces, wishing to turn the entire Li family upside down.
Mrs. Qi just died last night, and the young master was lost this night. Almost everyone in the Li family was woken up, but Li Wuzheng still couldn't find it, as if it was reality out of thin air.
"Ah! Look! It's on fire! It's on fire!"
A little maid pointed to the distance and suddenly shouted.
Li Luo looked back, there was indeed a fire, I don't know where it came from, but it was quite clear in the middle of the night.
Li Wan immediately said: "Come on, hurry up and put out the fire!"
Everyone ran to the place where the fire was on fire, and saw that the dining room was on fire, billowing black smoke was coming out, and the fire was jumping, and the fire was not small.
"Cough cough!"
"cough!"
"help!"
"Come on, burn me to death!"
From the place where the black smoke came out, a child's cry for help suddenly came, accompanied by the sound of coughing, which was not very real.
"It's Li Wuzheng's voice!"
Li Luo was the first to say, "It's inside!"
Cao Zhishui squinted his eyes, and was about to rush towards the thick smoke and fire. Li Luo had quick eyesight and quick hands, grabbed Cao Zhishui by the back collar, and dragged him off.
Li Luo said: "The fire is too big, you can't go in, it's dangerous!"
Cao Zhishui is just a child now, and he doesn't know martial arts. If he goes in, he will die in vain. He won't be able to save Li Wuzheng, and he will lose his life.
"I go."
Suddenly someone said such a sentence, very short and concise, and saw a goose-yellow figure passing by, someone had already entered the sea of fire, it was Huang Jiu who had just arrived.
Huang Jiu had changed into women's clothes and was about to rest, but when he heard about the fire, he rushed to find a child in the sea of flames.
Huang Jiu is not a cold-blooded person, so he rushed in immediately after launching his lightness kung fu.
Li Wan called out "Miss Huang", and immediately ran in with light kung fu.
As soon as he entered, his whole body was scorching hot, he couldn't open his smoky eyes, there were burnt things everywhere, it was so messy that it was impossible to see what was what.
Huang Jiu was very calm. After entering, he followed the voice and found Li Wuzheng. He hugged Li Wuzheng and returned to the original way relying on his sense of direction.
Li Wan came in a step late, and because of the heavy smoke, he lost Huang Jiu's trail as soon as he came in, and he stood there a little confused and at a loss.
"go!"
Huang Jiu was holding Li Wuzheng with one hand, steady. When he turned back, he happened to see Li Wan, and with the other hand, he grabbed Li Wan's wrist and led him out quickly.
"Come out." Li Luo opened his eyes wide.
Seeing that they had really rescued Li Wuzheng, everyone quickly surrounded them.
Cao Zhishui grabbed Li Wuzheng, his hands were shaking with fright, and said, "How are you? Are you injured?"
Li Wuzheng's cheeks were dark, and his cheeks were pale. He was crying, and he didn't know whether he was scared by the smoke or because he was too clueless, but he shed a lot of tears anyway.
Seeing Cao Zhishui now, he hugged Cao Zhishui's waist and cried loudly, "I was scared to death, I thought I would never see you again, woo woo woo..."
Seeing him crying so sadly, Cao Zhishui didn't have the heart to push him away, so he also hugged him and patted his back, saying, "Don't cry, it's all right now."
The fire was still burning, and the servants carried water to put out the fire, and it took a long time to extinguish the fire.Fortunately, it was only the dining room that caught fire, and no other places were burned.
Li Luo was also relieved, and everyone went back to the room together, sending Li Wuzheng back first, the child must have been terrified.
They entered Li Wuzheng's room and asked Li Wuzheng to sit down and drink some water to catch his breath.
Li Wan frowned and said, "Wu Zheng, tell my little uncle, who kidnapped you, and even set fire to burn you to death?"
Li Wuzheng was drinking water, unable to speak for a while, so he shook his head.
Li Wan said: "But I didn't see the appearance of that person clearly? How about his voice? Is there anything unusual about him?"
"Little uncle..." Li Wuzheng looked at Li Wan in confusion, and said, "What are you talking about? No one kidnapped me!"
Li Luo was confused when he heard this, and said, "No one kidnapped you? Then why did you show up in the dining room in the middle of the night? You were almost burned to death."
Speaking of this, Li Wuzheng was a little bit expectant.
He didn't want to say it at first, but he couldn't bear to ask him so much, so Li Wuzheng had no choice but to tell the truth.
It turned out that Cao Zhishui's birthday was just around the corner. Li Wuzheng wanted to prepare a birthday present for Cao Zhishui, but he didn't know what to prepare, so he came up with a whim and wanted to cook him a bowl of longevity noodles!
However, Li Wuzheng is a young master who doesn't know how to cook at all, so he wants to practice secretly and prepare in advance so as not to make it too unpalatable.
So Li Wuzheng disappeared in the middle of the night, and he ran out secretly, no wonder Cao Zhishui was unconscious.
Li Wuzheng touched the dining room in the middle of the night, and started to cook decently, kneading noodles and boiling water, thinking that after kneading noodles by himself, the water just boiled, and he could put it into the pot Cooking noodles is not too difficult.
It's just that Li Wuzheng made it worse and worse. After working for a long time, he realized that the noodles he made were different from others', and he didn't know whether they were delicious or not.
After the water boiled, Li Wuzheng put the noodles into the pot and continued to cook the noodles. Who knew that while the noodles were cooking, Li Wuzheng fell asleep.
Li Wuzheng scratched the back of his head, and said aggrievedly: "I'm too sleepy, and I'm so tired. Sitting next to the big pot, waiting for the noodles to be cooked, I fell asleep right away. Later... Later... ..."
Later, Li Wuzheng woke up from the smoke, and found that the noodles were mushy, the house was on fire, and there was a sea of flames everywhere.
Li Wan's face darkened the more he heard it, and said: "You don't know how to cook and you go to the dining room, and you go there secretly. Do you know how long we've been looking for you, are you going to scare us all to death?"
Li Wuzheng knew that he had done something wrong, so he lowered his head with a good attitude, and said, "Little uncle, I was wrong, and I didn't know that the pot would dry up and catch fire... I just..."
Cao Zhishui next to him also had a dark face, he was moved and angry, and worried.
Cao Zhishui said coldly, "I hate noodles the most."
Upon hearing this, Li Wuzheng said, "This... so, what do you like to eat, I'll make it for you!"
Cao Zhishui said: "I don't like to eat anything."
In fact, Cao Zhishui didn't like or dislike anything, but Li Wuzheng caught fire while cooking, it was too dangerous, so he didn't like to eat anything, just hoped that he wouldn't go into the kitchen again.
"Okay, okay, don't scold him." Li Luo smoothed things over with a smile and said, "It can't all be blamed on him."
Xie Changying folded his arms beside him, and also felt that Li Wuzheng was too unreliable, and said, "Fire is a big deal, so don't speak for him. If he doesn't have a long memory today, he might commit another crime in the future. This time he is lucky." , was not burned to death, what if there is a next time?"
Xie Changying was just like a grown-up, but what he said made sense, and others felt that it was the case, and Li Wuzheng had to be taught a good lesson to let him know how important it is.
Li Wuzheng lowered his head and said, "I really know I was wrong."
Li Luo shook his head and said, "Let me tell you, think about it carefully, if the fire is really a fire in a pot, and it was caused by Li Wuzheng cooking noodles, then can Li Wuzheng still be so good now?"
When he said this, everyone was stunned for a moment, they were stopped by Li Luo's question.
Li Luo said: "I don't blame Li Wuzheng for this, it's because the fire is too strange, it doesn't look like Li Wuzheng's kitchen."
After listening to Li Wuzheng's narration just now, everyone had preconceived ideas, thinking that the cooking noodles must have set fire to the kitchen. In fact, even Li Wuzheng thought so.
Li Wuzheng was confused, scratched the back of his head, and said, "What's going on?"
Li Luo said: "Li Wuzheng cooked noodles, he fell asleep next to the pot, so close to the pot,
