Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 687 New Year's Eve
Lin Xiaomei tilted her head, and even though Di Qing sprinkled the medicine powder on the deep wound, she didn't feel any pain at all.

"Where is the murderer who killed my parents and brother...?"

Di Qing, who was applying the medicine, suddenly heard Lin Xiaomei speak, and couldn't help but froze for a moment.

She raised her head and found that Lin Xiaomei was staring at her with empty eyes.

"Little sister, the murderer who killed your parents and younger brother has been arrested by your adoptive father." Di Qing stroked Lin Xiaomei's hair and said softly.

"But foster father didn't kill him, did he?" Lin Xiaomei asked, staring at Di Qing intently.

Di Qingxiu frowned slightly, as if she didn't expect Lin Xiaomei to ask this.She smiled and said: "Little sister, your adoptive father has his plans. He will not wrong a good person, nor will he let a bad person go. You have to trust him."

"Zhang Wenyuan killed my father, mother and younger brother, why didn't my adoptive father kill him?" Lin Xiaomei suddenly became emotional, and tears flowed from her eyes.

Seeing this, Di Qing was startled, and hurriedly wiped Lin Xiaomei's blood with silk.

"Little sister, you are still young, and some things are not as simple as you imagined. Zhang Wenyuan is indeed a heinous person, but he already has regrets..."

Before Di Qing could finish speaking, Lin Xiaomei interrupted her coldly: "If I feel remorse, can I write off all my sins? Will my parents and younger brother survive?"

Di Qing was taken aback for a moment, not knowing how to speak for a while.

Lin Xiaomei pulled her hand away from Di Qing's arms, hid in the quilt, and said, "...I'm going to sleep."

Di Qing sighed, knowing that Lin Xiaomei didn't want to talk anymore, so she covered her with a quilt and walked out of the room.

After Di Qing left, Lin Xiaomei, who was hiding under the quilt, secretly took out three shadow puppets, held them in her arms and began to weep.

"Father, mother... brother, where are you? Little sister misses you..."

Di Qing, who didn't really leave, but hid outside the door, heard the little girl sobbing, her nose sore, and she almost cried out.

After leaving Xiaomei Lin's room, Di Qing walked straight to Li Canghai's room.

"Cang Hai! Are you asleep? I have something to talk to you about." Di Qing knocked on the door and said softly.

Li Canghai, who was almost asleep, immediately got up from the bed when he heard Di Qing's voice.

"Qing'er, it's so late and you still don't go to rest, what's the matter?" Li Canghai asked with a yawn.

When Di Qing walked into the room, Li Canghai poured two cups of hot tea and handed one of them to Di Qing.

Di Qing took the teacup, held it in her hand, and said worriedly: "Cang Hai, do you feel that my little sister is a little strange?"

"Well, that's not true. My little sister, after going through such a tragic event, she will inevitably become taciturn. Bringing her to Chang'an is also to let her live with the same flower, and hope that she can come out of the sadness sooner. You Why did you bring this up suddenly?" Li Canghai yawned.

Di Qing took a sip of tea, frowned slightly and said: "Just now I was giving medicine to my little sister, but my little sister actually asked me about Zhang Wenyuan. What's more, what she said made me feel very strange. "

"Oh? What did she say?" Li Canghai asked, turning the teacup.

"She said that since you caught Zhang Wenyuan, why didn't you kill him? Also, is it true that if a person has remorse, he can write off all his crimes?" Di Qing said seriously.

Li Canghai snorted, put down the teacup, and frowned immediately.

"The matter of Zhang Wenyuan, I have always made repeated orders, and no one is allowed to mention it, especially to my younger sister. But how did she know that I didn't kill Zhang Wenyuan?"

Di Qing stroked her bangs on her forehead, and said, "Could it be that the two brothers, Benbo Erba, accidentally slipped their mouths?"

Li Canghai thought: "Probably not. Although Ben Boerba and Babo Erben are a bit funny, they have always obeyed my orders very well. I won't let them mention this matter, they should not talk about it casually." .Besides, before this, the little girl was fine."

Di Qing rubbed the center of her brows, and said: "So, it is very likely that the little girl heard the news about Zhang Wenyuan when she separated from us?"

Li Canghai shook his head and said, "Maybe! But since my younger sister already knows, I won't hide it from her anymore. I will go and explain this to her tomorrow. I don't want my younger sister to bury hatred in my heart." Seed."

Di Qing lowered her head and pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "Well, this is the only way to go now. My little sister is like this, it's really worrying."

"Qing'er, it's getting late, you should go to bed early too. Leave the little sister's affairs to me tomorrow." Li Canghai said softly.

Di Qing nodded, sighed, and told Li Canghai a few more words before turning around and leaving.

But said, at the same time, Yang Guozhong's mansion.

"How is the matter going?" Yang Guozhong asked while warming the fire.

There was a black shadow standing in front of him, and the black shadow clasped its hands and said, "My lord, although there was a little accident, the goal was finally achieved."

"Very good! Follow the plan."

"Yes, my lord!"

After the black shadow left, the corners of Yang Guozhong's mouth turned up, and he let out a sneer: "Li Canghai, the Japanese official will give you a big gift tomorrow! I just don't know, can you afford this big gift? I'm looking forward to it! Haha Ha ha!"

The reddish flame reflected on Yang Guozhong's old face, making his smile look extremely ferocious.

In the 12th year of Tianbao, on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, there was heavy snowfall.

Li Canghai got up at Yinshi, took a bath and changed clothes, and went to Daming Palace at Maoshi to wait for the emperor to summon him.

Daming Palace, Linde Palace.

Hundreds of civil and military officials gathered together, all of them were energetic and peaceful.

But this peaceful surface does not appear to be so harmonious. The positions of the officials clearly indicate the different camps they belong to.

Yang Guozhong is the leader on the left, Cui Huan is the leader on the right, and the neutral faction is in between.

Li Canghai came to Daming Palace earlier than other officials, but he went to Sanqing Hall first to check the three artifacts, so he entered Linde Hall later.

"Master Li, you are famous in Chang'an City these days!"

"Yes, yes! I heard that Mr. Li solved more than a hundred important cases in seven days! It's really admirable!"

"I heard that Mr. Li tried five cases at the same time. Only Mr. Di can match his dedication! No wonder the folks are now rumoring that Mr. Li is a 'divine judgement'!"

……

As soon as Li Canghai stepped into the Hanyuan Hall, more than a dozen officials greeted him and praised him one after another.

"My lords are absurd. These are all rumors in the market and cannot be taken as true." Li Canghai said with his fists clasped.

"It is said that Mr. Li is upright and upright, and he has the legacy of Duke Di. Why should Mr. Li be modest? From what I see, we will not have to go to court in the future, and only Mr. Li is enough!" Song Kun The corners of the mouth raised slightly, expressing a certain meaning.
