"Li Zian? You came so fast?"

Wang Jincheng hurriedly walked out of the shadows, a look of shock appeared on his face.

Before coming to Yuzhou, to be honest, he looked down on Li Nuo.

You said that you visited a brothel, listened to music, and even had sex with an oiran. These were all romantic stories, but you actually offended Jiang Qiuyue for your own evil desires. This is simply a scumbag and a shame for Confucian scholars!

Moreover, he also destroyed the foundation of Confucianism and Taoism, which is even more blasphemous to the Confucian saints!

Disregard it!

But he never expected that Li Zian would be needed in the case of Prince Wu's Mansion, and in the end, this guy would be needed to save them.

This made him extremely ashamed.

Li Nuo joked: "Editor Wang, your sharp words seem a little rusty. Are you injured?"

Wang Jincheng's complexion was naturally pale. He coughed and said, "It's just a minor injury, but it's okay for now. Without further ado, I'll take you to see His Highness."

Wang Jincheng led Li Nuo around again and entered a small courtyard.

In the courtyard.

The fourth prince and his party really had no intention of sleeping.

Everyone had a sullen face and seemed slightly depressed.

Seeing that it was Li Nuo who had arrived, the fourth prince finally showed a smile on his tired face. He hurriedly stood up and held Li Nuo's arm: "Zian, I really made you laugh."

"Your Highness, what is going on?"

Li Nuo asked straight to the point.

The fourth prince smiled bitterly and said: "Oh, it's hard to explain. We encountered a human trap on the way through Anji County by boat."

Rengui is somewhat similar to the shark.

But they are extremely cruel. They become fish in the water during the day and can come ashore to transform into humans at night. They are a very special type of water demon among the demon clan.

Their cultivation level does not need to reach [Sixth Stage Incarnation Realm], they can transform into human form as soon as it gets dark. And this IQ is also quite weird. When in fish form, they rely on instinct to hunt aquatic creatures. When in human form, their IQ is the same as that of humans! And this is not a disguise. You can't tell whether they are human or demon.

The fourth prince continued: "This group of people overturned our boat and assassinated me. The guards were no match. Fortunately, Zhennan Bo stepped forward and retreated while fighting, and protected me back to Anji County."

Li Nuo asked: "Didn't these people continue to come ashore to hunt you down?"

"Editor Wang and Chief Qin tried their best to protect me, but they were also injured. Later, the Anji County magistrate also came with his government officials to support him, and they barely drove the man back into the river... However, the housekeeper of Prince Wu's Mansion was killed. The crown prince Li Zhan...he also escaped."

The fourth prince sighed.

He went south in high spirits, thinking of cracking the blood pill case so that his father would be impressed, but in the end he failed miserably and almost lost his life. This face is burning with embarrassment.

Prince Wu... escaped?

wrong!

An ordinary person, and a fat man at that, could escape safely without being killed in a war?

Li Nuo asked carefully: "Your Highness, are you sure that Prince Wu escaped and was not rescued by someone?"

Wang Jincheng explained to the fourth prince: "Zian... this is very strange. After the sneak attack on us, Prince Wu seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person. His cultivation level suddenly increased greatly, and he forced Zhennan Bo back with one move! "

well.

What's happening here?

Why does it feel more and more outrageous the more I listen to it.

Great increase in cultivation?

What technique is so awesome?

Initiation?

Li Nuo was confused.

"However, Prince Wu seemed to feel that he could not kill us in a short time, so he plunged into the water and disappeared. Originally, we wanted to wait until dawn, when the threat of human beings was gone, and we continued on the road... Who knew the county magistrate He suddenly died while we were preparing the ship!"

"Death suddenly?"

"Yes, no wounds were found, and there were no signs of poisoning..." Wang Jincheng said angrily, "To be able to kill a [eighth-grade literary state of mind] Confucian scholar quietly, the murderer's strength is extraordinary. I suspect it is possible. It’s the art of witchcraft!”

Li Nuo felt like shit.

Why is it still involved with witchcraft?

But this witchcraft is really tricky, killing people invisible!

"There are passenger ships passing through Anji County every day in Yuzhou. Your Highness's safety is the most important. I will return to Chang'an with you at dawn tomorrow. As for the rest, let the Ministry of Punishment send experts to investigate..."

Without the support of the blessing of "God's help is needed to solve a crime", Li Nuo would not have thought about solving this murder case.

It’s so thankless!

It is better to send the fourth prince back to Chang'an as soon as possible, so that he can go home and sleep with his wife as soon as possible.

"That's all it can do..."

Everyone's expressions were not very good.

A night of silence.

The next day.

A trace of fish belly white appeared on the horizon, and the group of people changed into Confucian shirts and boarded a passenger ship.

I asked the boatman.

The ship left Yuzhou, entered the Han River, and went directly to Xiangzhou Prefecture.

Xiangzhou is only two hundred miles away from Chang'an, and it is a flat river. It can be reached in half a day on horseback.

There were quite a few guests on the boat, more than thirty people in total.

A group of young men dressed in silk and satin looked at the river, recited poems, and pointed out the mountains and rivers. It was very satisfying.

As for the sudden death of the magistrate of Anji County, what does it have to do with them?

At most, he just sighs about bad luck.

"Haha, Brother Lu, you are a great talent from the south of the Yangtze River, and you have already achieved [Wenxin]. You were a high school student in the autumn of last year. It's really time to go to Chang'an to meet the world's scholars."

"Haha, Brother Lin, you think too highly of northern scholars, don't you? Let me tell you...our Jiangnan Yingtian Mansion is the holy land of scholars. If you look at the scientific examinations over the years, most of the first-level Jinshi are from our Yingtian Mansion!"

The talented men looked arrogant and did not take the northern scholars seriously at all.

"Everyone, we still can't be careless. This time we are invited by the eldest princess. If we can't win over the crowd and win the first place, we will only make the world laugh."

Talented Master Lu spoke modestly, but the pride in his heart almost overflowed.

"Hahaha! I really miss Li Zian, who only became the number one scholar for half a day. This Yuzhou Prefecture has not produced a first-class Jinshi in the past fifty years. It took a lot of effort to become the number one scholar, but in the end, he was willing to fall into the trap. It’s a shame for scholars!”

"If you want me to tell you, Jian Yuyan is the most pitiful scholar. Ten years ago, he trained a protégé named Ren Tianxing. I heard that he was demoted to Lingnan and served as a guard at Meiguan. What kind of place is that for a human being? The humidity is thick and there are insects. There are still a group of barbaric people everywhere.”

"Haha, although Meiguan is far away, Ren Tianxing is still on guard after all, and Wen Gen is still there. But that Li Zian is miserable. His Majesty has personally appointed him as the ninth-grade jailer. In this life, he can only deal with the prisoners in the sky prison. . I wonder if he has ever regretted it..."

A group of people were just pointing out the country, but in the end the topic was brought to Li Nuo, which made him very depressed.

A long-lost smile appeared on the fourth prince's face, and he said softly: "Zian, did you hear that? You have embarrassed the scholars."

Wang Jincheng's face was a little gloomy. He really wanted to stand up and teach these young scholars a lesson.

Wang Jincheng sighed: "Zi'an, don't want to be the same as this kind of people."

Li Nuo is now a fourth-level martial arts master. If he really gets ruthless, these scholars may all become dead souls under the sword.

"Editor Wang, although my heart, Li Zian, cannot support the boat, I can still tolerate a few gossips. You don't need to be so nervous. Besides, our profession must keep a low profile. His Highness's safety is the most important."

Li Nuo still has some sense of propriety.

but……

Perhaps in order to show off their literary talents and make themselves superior to others, these scholars turned their attention to Li Nuo and his party...
