Chapter 120 Unexpected News

"Snow lotus is so precious, wouldn't it be a waste to use it on him?" Di Qing wrinkled her nose and teased deliberately.

Li Canghai laughed and said: "Qing'er is right, it is indeed a waste to use such a good thing on me! Miss Xue's kindness, I took it, but this snow lotus is really too precious, not to mention my body has recovered. It’s almost done, so there’s no need for such a precious thing.”

Xue Xuan smiled sweetly and said: "Your martial arts are low and you are easily injured. I think this snow lotus will stay with you for now." Saying that, Xue Xuan pushed the box containing the snow lotus over.

Di Qing felt that what Xue Xuan said was reasonable, she nodded and said, "Li Canghai, I really don't know what kind of virtue you have accumulated in your previous life. Even sister Xue took such good care of you. If you don't accept it, I will take it away."

Li Canghai grinned, showing his white teeth, and said with a smile: "I guess it's the smoke rising from the ancestral grave, otherwise how could I meet you beauties?"

Di Qing rolled her eyes at him, but she was happy in her heart.

Xue Xuan also had a pretty face, and after she smiled for a while, she suddenly said: "Mr. Li, on the way I came, I heard that all the credit for this case was snatched away by the governor of Duji Province. What's going on? thing?"

Li Canghai and Di Qing glanced at each other, shaking their heads at the same time to express their ignorance.

At this time, a rough voice suddenly came from a distance: "Cang Hai, girl, this general is here!"

Following the sound of footsteps, Huangfu Kun strode over, seeing several people sitting around the stone table drinking tea, he was stunned and said, "Yo, Miss Xue is here too?"

Xue Xuan bowed slightly to her, but Di Qing didn't give him any face, she looked at him and said, "General, you are busy with military affairs, why are you free to come to Di's house today?"

"You girl, you don't have any rules. After all, I'm also your uncle's generation!" Huangfu Kun sat on the stone bench and scolded with a smile.

"If it wasn't for the sake of calling you uncle respectfully, I would have beaten you to the ground because of your repeated embarrassment." Di Qing rolled her eyes at him and snorted.

Huangfu Kun picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, when he heard this, he almost choked to death.

"How can you protect your weaknesses so much, girl? It's even more extreme than me. Forget it, I have something to tell you when I come here."

"Qing'er likes to make jokes, General, don't take offense, General, what's the matter here?" Li Canghai cupped his hands slightly, and said.

Huangfu Kun waved his hand to show that he didn't care, he frowned and scolded: "Damn it, Liu Tong is really shameless, this person actually took all the credit for all the cases in Luoyang as his own, what are you talking about?" Under his careful arrangement, he bravely broke the Luoyang strange case and saved Luoyang from danger, but he didn't mention anything about Cang Hai's deeds."

"Before the general came, I was still talking about this matter with them. I thought it was just hearsay, but after the general said it, it seems that this matter is true." Xue Xuan sipped her tea and said.

"What kind of bullshit assassin is this? I clearly didn't do anything, so it's pretty quick to claim the credit. It's unreasonable!" Di Qing said angrily.

On the contrary, Li Canghai looked indifferent, he grabbed a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Canghai, you have done so much, but in the end all the credit has been taken by others, aren't you angry at all?" Seeing Li Canghai's calmness, Di Qing couldn't sit still, and said angrily.

At this time, Fen'er was tired from dancing, she ran to Li Canghai's side, sat on the stone bench, and looked at everyone curiously.

Li Canghai picked up the snack and handed it to Fen'er, and said calmly: "All I do is for the truth, and I don't care about other things. Fame and fortune are fleeting, if I want treasure, there are as many treasures as there are in the Underworld. "

Di Qing thought about it and thought it was right. Now that they are guarding Jinshan, money is whatever they ask for!

"As the saying goes: Buddhas fight for a stick of incense, and people fight for their breath. I just can't get angry!" Di Qing pouted and muttered.

"Actually, since I offended Liu Tong, I already guessed the ending. He thought he took all the credit, but he didn't know that the real benefit was always in my hands." Li Canghai said with narrowed eyes.

Huangfu Kun shook his head, he is a rough man, he doesn't have such a high consciousness, he would take fame and fortune so lightly.

"By the way, actually, I have one more thing to tell you this time. Liang Xiu committed suicide."

"What?" Several people were taken aback.

Li Canghai glanced at Fen'er who was eating snacks, seeing that she didn't seem to be paying attention, he hurriedly gave Di Qing a wink.Di Qing understood, and immediately took Fen'er away and returned to the house.

"What's going on?" Li Canghai frowned and asked.

Huangfu Kun stroked his beard, shook his head and said: "I don't know the specifics, it is said that he died this morning in Ruzhou Prison. Before he died, he left a blood letter, saying that he was ashamed of the court and his family, but he was dead. apology."

Li Canghai fell into silence, and after a while he asked, "Do you know how he died?"

"It is said that he committed suicide by biting his tongue." Huangfu Kun sighed.

"Bite your tongue and kill yourself?" Li Canghai couldn't help shaking his head.

Seeing him shaking his head, Xue Xuan asked puzzledly, "Did Mr. Li think of something?"

After thinking about it for a while, Li Canghai said in a deep voice: "When a serious criminal is detained, someone must guard him all night. At the same time, his mouth will be blocked with a rope bead. This is to prevent the prisoner from committing suicide. What's more, Liang Xiu is a high official in the court, and the guards should be more careful. Be cautious, how can you give him the opportunity to bite his tongue and kill himself?"

Hearing what he said, Huangfu Kun and Xue Xuan also felt a little strange.

"You mean, there is something strange about Liang Xiu's death?" Huangfu Kun asked with a frown.

Li Canghai stretched out his right hand and flapped rhythmically on the armrest of the rocking chair. He shook his head and said, "I haven't seen the corpse, so I can't make a judgment, but if Mr. Liang wants to commit suicide, he will commit suicide on the way from Luoyang to Ruzhou. Why wait for prison?"

"Mr. Li, Ruzhou is under the administration of the governor's office. Even if you have doubts, you have no right to investigate!" Xue Xuan said with a slight frown.

Li Canghai knew it well, since Liu Tong took all the credit, how could he agree to let the little county magistrate who offended him go to investigate?This matter, I'm afraid it can only be so.

"Canghai can't investigate, but someone can." Huangfu Kun pondered for a moment, then laughed.

"Who?".
Li Canghai couldn't help being a little curious, is there any official in Duji Province who is bigger than the governor?
Huangfu Kun said mysteriously: "This person is none other than King Jianning——Li Tan!"

Li Canghai patted his head suddenly, and then remembered that there is another prince in Luoyang City, who is the third son of the current crown prince, King Jianning.
