Dali Temple Conspiracy Records

Chapter 9
It has been almost a month since the last unpleasant meeting in Huayue Tower.Naturally, this time, Li Wei didn't have a good face either.

He sat down in the special reception hall of Dali Temple, and after taking two sips of tea, he couldn't hold back his impatience, and kept urging: "Why don't you come? I have to invite you, my lord?!"

The servant bowed again and again with a smile on his face: "My lord, wait a moment, wait a moment."

"Li has met the prince." Just as he was talking, the protagonist arrived.Li Quan crossed his hands in a salute neither humble nor overbearing, "Your Majesty is a rare visitor, so you come here, what can you do?"

"Hey, Li Sizhi has a lot of airs. If I want to see you, I have to ask four times."

Li Yu didn't answer, but asked, "What is your business?"

"You're ashamed to ask me what I can do? Dali Temple can handle Zhao Qiuji's case. Hurry up and catch the murderer and close the case!"

"This case is under the jurisdiction of Wannian County. My son cares about the people's feelings. Please go to the county government to inquire."

"You...Master, I'm here to report the crime!"

"Please also go to the county government to report the case."

"..."

Li Wei was so choked that he choked, and took several sips of tea before he recovered.Although he is the son of the county prince and Li Guan is just an orphan with no family background, on the other hand, Si Zhihao is also a middle-level official of Dali Temple from the sixth rank. He has no rank and rank, so he really can't do anything to Li Quan .

"I haven't given details, my son." At this time, his attendant Wang Yan leaned over and reminded quietly.

"You don't need to say it." Li Wei cursed angrily, then managed to hold back his temper, and said forcefully, "I heard that Li Sizhi is in charge of ghost cases, and our palace is also haunted. If we don't want you, who can we look for?"

"Since it's haunted, you should find a mage to exorcise the evil spirits, not a subordinate official." Li Guan replied calmly.

Now Li Wei was completely furious, and couldn't help but cursed: "It's because you didn't solve the case quickly that you came to the palace, why are you still pushing back and forth?!"

"Your Majesty, you mean it's related to Ms. Zhao's case?"

"Sure! A string of bells jingle in the mansion in the middle of the night. I heard that Huayue Tower was like this before. Isn't that the case of yours? And it has been ringing for a few days, and it will strangle people in the middle of the night. Seeing me Is there a red mark on my neck? If something happens to my Prince Liang’s mansion, you Dali Temple will not be able to pay for it with a few heads!"

"Strangling people? Can the son see clearly what is causing the trouble?"

"No! Shouldn't you check it out?"

"The lieutenant knows."

A song in the north.

Entering Pingkangfang from the north gate, several rows of houses distributed along the wall of the square are called Beiqu, and most of them are inhabited by lowly status prostitutes.They don't have much talent, usually they only serve people with sex, and most of the guests they receive are traffickers or poor scholars, so they are also despised by the daughters of Zhongqu and Nanqu.

After midnight, in a certain old and shabby hut in Beiqu, the girl who lived here saw that there were no guests, so she blew out the candles and left only one lamp, ready to take off her make-up and change her clothes to rest.

She took off the few pieces of jewelry on her body—it looked like they were cheap items bought for appearance. She walked to the washbasin stand, wet a cloth towel, and was about to wipe her face when she suddenly felt a chill on her neck, and the cold blade stabbed her. The hairs stand on end.

The girl was startled, subconsciously shrank back, and slipped away like a loach.But the attack followed, and she didn't have time to see the assailant clearly, so she just dodged desperately.The coming man's knife was extremely fast, and just as the girl was about to rush out the door, the blade also slashed cruelly at her back, causing her to stagger and almost fall on the threshold.The man was about to deliver another fatal blow—

Bang!
The sound of hard objects colliding sounded, but it was duller than the sound of metal, as if it was knocked on wood.

"Li... Li Sizhi!"

"It's you."
