Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 701 Hidden Murder

Li Canghai cupped his hands gratefully to Cui Huan and Gao Luochuan: "Thank you two adults."

"Sir, where do you plan to start the investigation?" Li Yu asked suspiciously.

Li Canghai thought for a moment, rubbed the center of his brows, and said: "This matter needs to be discussed in the long run, it's getting late, and you adults have been busy all night, you should go back and rest!"

"Sir, what about you?" Li Yu was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Me? Of course I went back to sleep." Li Canghai yawned and said.

As soon as this remark came out, several people couldn't help being stunned.

"Sir, did I hear you right? You said just now that you were going to... sleep?" Li Yu asked with a blank expression.

Li Canghai nodded, and said earnestly, "Of course I'm going to sleep, otherwise where would I get the energy to investigate the case? All adults, go back and rest!"

After saying this, Li Canghai yawned, saluted everyone, and then left on his own, leaving Li Yu, Cui Huan and others looking at each other in blank dismay.

"Lord Cui, what's wrong with Master Li? It's at this juncture, can he still sleep?" Gao Luochuan asked puzzled.

Cui Huan shook his head, looked at Li Canghai's back, and said deeply: "Master Li is indeed becoming more and more difficult to understand, but since he said so, he must have a plan in mind!"

"Well, what Master Cui said is very true. Mister has always been very resourceful, and he must have already planned it. I believe Mr. can do it!" Li Yu also nodded.

"In that case, everyone should leave first!" Cui Huan said.

Several people nodded, and after saluting each other, they left the hall one after another.

But he said that Li Canghai left the palace and did not return to his mansion, but went to Dali Temple.

The whole night, Li Canghai paced in the inner hall of Dali Temple, his brows were tightened, his expression was extremely solemn, how could he be half sleepy?
And in the Yang Mansion on the other side of Chang'an City, there is also a group of sleepless people.

Yang Guozhong sat on the chair with a face as heavy as water, and Song Kun sat beside him.

"My lord, this old man surnamed Cui is really hateful! Why don't you just get rid of him?" Song Kun made a beheading gesture and said bitterly.

Yang Guozhong took a sip of the steaming tea, and said leisurely, "Cui Huan is an old man who fights against Benxiang all day long. Why doesn't the truth want to get rid of him? It's just that he is deeply trusted by the emperor. If he gets rid of him rashly , will definitely attract the attention of the emperor. And he has a master to protect him, before the identity of the master around him is found out, let him have a better time."

"My lord, you also saw what he said to the lower officials in the hall. This old man humiliated the lower officials in front of civil and military officials. I can't swallow this!" Song Kun's teeth were itching with hatred.

"If you can't swallow it, you have to swallow it. If you can't even bear this grievance, how can you achieve great things?" Yang Guozhong glanced at him and said coldly.

Song Kun opened his mouth, punched his fist resentfully, and sighed, "My lord taught me the lesson."

Yang Guozhong put down the teacup and said calmly: "The most important thing right now is to deal with Li Canghai. The reason why old man Cui Huan has become more and more insane recently is all because of Li Canghai. As long as Li Canghai is removed, how long can he remain insane?"

Song Kun nodded and said, "What your lord said is that Li Canghai is our primary target."

"I was worrying about how to deal with him, so the emperor gave me a big gift. Li Canghai took on these three cases self-righteously. This is his own death. Truth didn't force him! Hehe." Yang Guozhong touched With a chin, he sneered.

"My lord's move of 'striking from the east to the west' is really amazing! Not only has the cooperation with the 'Ni Lin Xuan Wu' been reached, but it has also pushed Li Canghai into a desperate situation, high! It's really high!" Song Kun praised.

Yang Guozhong sneered and said, "Speaking of it, this is a windfall. Originally, I only wanted to use Zhang Wenyuan's matter to hold Li Canghai back, so that they could take advantage of the opportunity. I didn't expect so many things to be involved. Since Li Canghai wanted to die, the truth is Let him be fulfilled!"

Song Kun's eyes lit up, and he nodded excitedly, "Your Excellency is right! As long as Li Canghai can't solve the case within two days, he will die!"

But when he thought of Li Canghai's miraculous method of solving the case, the joy in his heart immediately disappeared.

"My lord, if Li Canghai can really solve the case within the time limit, what should I do?" Song Kun said worriedly.

Yang Guozhong glanced at him, and said deeply: "If Li Canghai solves the case, you will be the one who died. What should you do, let's not talk about the truth?"

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Song Kun's forehead, and he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, my lord, I know what to do!"

After Song Kun left, Yang Guozhong narrowed his eyes slightly, and a triumphant sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth.

In the inner hall of Dali Temple, Li Canghai was holding a Langhao pen, and the pen was writing something on the paper.

After a while, he called Baboerben and said something to him. Baboerben nodded and left Dali Temple.

Not long after Babo'erben left, the two yamen servants also walked out of Dali Temple.

Time passed bit by bit, and soon the sky gradually brightened.

Last night was New Year's Eve. Although the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty did not live in peace, this day did not have much impact on the common people.

The people in the city never imagined that when they were celebrating the festive season, the entire Chang'an city was actually shrouded in a chill.

In the morning, the sky was just getting brighter.

In the Yuelai Inn, several guys are cleaning the tables and chairs.

An old man walked down the stairs with two young men and women.

"Xiao Er, do you have something to eat, give us some." Old Man Chen put the erhu in his hand on the table, rubbing his hands together and said.

"Hey, boss Chen, you guys got up pretty early! Are you going out to perform so early?" A shop waiter came over with a pot of tea, poured tea into several cups, and asked with a smile.

Old man Chen said cheerfully: "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Chang'an City is so prosperous that there must be countless pedestrians. It is a good time to make money!"

"Then it doesn't have to be so early, right? It's only past the Yin hour!" The waiter looked at the still dark morning outside.

Chang'an is located in the west of the Central Plains, and the dawn will not wait until at least three quarters of Yin time.And now, there are still three quarters before dawn.

Old man Chen squinted his eyes and said with a chuckle: "On the first day of the new year, there must be a lot of pedestrians in Chang'an City, but there will also be many people doing business at the same time. If you don't go to a good place early, how can you make money? "

When the waiter heard this, he also laughed: "That's right, that's the reason. Wait a moment, I'm going to fetch hot buns for the guests!"

"Thank you, little brother." Chen old man stroked his beard and smiled.

"Father, this Chang'an city is really prosperous! We have traveled to so many places, and there is no place that can compare with Chang'an city! Father, after today's performance is over, can I let my daughter go for a walk in the city?" Ning Holding the teacup, Xiang took a sip of the boiling tea, and asked expectantly.
