Be a detective in Yuanshin

When Ying and Paimon both walked to the bedside, I ended up sitting directly on the armrest of the grand master's chair. I looked curiously at Ying, who seemed to have something on her mind, and said familiarly, "What are you thinking about?" What? Looks a little sullen?"

"fine."

Ying sat on the edge of the bed and shook her head. She didn't sleep all night because of "waiting for rabbits", and ran for another day during the day. Not to mention a fight in the evening, she stayed up until midnight. Even though Ying's body was not normal, she was a little sleepy. But she didn't feel sleepy at all.

Ying hesitated again and again, but decided to ask Hu Tao, "Master Hu, do you know Li Shuo well?"

"Just call me Walnut."

When Hu Tao heard Ying talking about Li Shuo, her fist hardened immediately: "I'm familiar, of course I'm familiar. I'll think about how to help him arrange his funeral every day!"

fluorescent:"..."

Paimon also flew up at this time, waving his phantom limbs and complaining: "Although this sounds dangerous, but I don't know why, as long as I hear that the other party is Li Shuo, it is unexpectedly acceptable."

"What kind of person does Walnut think he is?"

"Him? Li Shuo? It's hard to say. Anyway, I can be sure that he is a bastard, and he is a bastard in every sense. I didn't say this sentence, it was said by our Master Tianquan Xingguang himself." , I said it more than once, although I also agree with it."

As Hu Tao said, she jumped off the armrest of the grand master's chair with special interest, sat next to Ying, and asked curiously: "Hey, why is Ying so interested in that bastard Li Shuo? Could it be... .”

Ying didn't take Hu Tao's joke seriously, she said with a serious expression: "Then Hu Tao thinks, is he... a good person?"

Along the way, Ying probably figured out why there is a thorn in her mind.

Indeed, it had nothing to do with the so-called "just three against one". What she was really dissatisfied with was Li Shuo's use of the loophole in the contract, which was the root of the problem.

The rule of "transaction" is "contract", and the criterion is "fairness".This is something that those who make and follow the "contract" must not forget: if it is not fair, the contract becomes evidence of deceit.

These words were said by Liyue's rock king Dijun himself, the contract should be sacred and fair, and keeping the contract is a manifestation of credit.

But now Li Shuo is not shy about taking advantage of the loopholes in the contract, taking advantage of Dadalia's unfamiliarity with and trust in the contract, and stepping his "credibility" into the mud.

People can't stand without faith, and they don't understand Liyue culture, let alone Confucian culture, but morality has something in common.

That's right, Li Shuo did not violate the contract or break the law, but he trampled on morality.

This is where Ying feels uncomfortable.

Seeing Ying's solemn expression, Hu Tao put away the laughter just now, and seemed to think for a long time and said: "From the eyes of ordinary people, Li Shuo has absolutely nothing to do with good people. From Li Yue Qixing's point of view, he should also A heinous bastard, right?

In the entire Liyue City, apart from the simple Xiangling and the guys from Wanmintang, it might be difficult to find a few people who respect him from the bottom of their hearts.but..."

Ying hurriedly asked, "But what?"

Hu Tao shrugged his shoulders and said: "However, he never cares about what others think. In his words: It takes only one mouth to evaluate a person, but it takes a lifetime to understand a person. It is not yet conclusive when the coffin is closed, let alone the person is still alive. Woolen cloth."

It only takes one mouth to evaluate a person, but it takes a lifetime to understand a person?

Ying thought about this sentence, and suddenly, she laughed.

Yes, the coffin is not yet conclusive, let alone the person is still alive.

"Sleepy, sleep!"

As if she had figured something out, Ying lay down on her back, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Hu Tao put her cheeks in her hands, looked at Yingma who was gradually falling asleep, the corners of her mouth slowly pouted, she began to regret why she said these things.

......

Li Shuo has an ability that even Gan Yu can't understand. No matter what the situation, he can close his eyes and fall asleep directly, and wake up accurately when needed.

Ningguang said that he sleeps with his eyes open.

At first, Gan Yu thought that this sentence meant that Li Shuo would remain half asleep and half awake when he slept.Later, after getting in touch with Li Shuo for a long time, I found out that the words "Ningguang" had another meaning. Li Shuo could really fall asleep with his eyes open.

It may be because of this ability that Hu Tao has no chance to play tricks on Li Shuo.She couldn't figure out exactly when Li Shuo was sleeping and when he was awake again.

Before dawn, before the door of the Hall of Rebirth was opened, I heard a magnetic voice from outside: "Master Hu, did you wake up? We need to send someone to settle the breakfast consumption at Boss Yueshi's place this time." gone."

Just as Zhong Li pushed open the door of the Hall of Rebirth, he saw that the person who got up from the coffin was not Hu Tao, but Li Shuo!

I saw Li Shuo lying on the edge of the coffin, looking at Zhongli who was a little bit astonished with a smile on his face, and said, "Although Hall Master Hu is not awake yet, I can help you pay for this breakfast. Long time no see, recently How are you doing?"

Zhong Li walked into the hall, looked at Li Shuo carefully, and then said with a smile: "Everything is fine, and it seems that Li Guo's life is not bad, either?"

Li Shuo patted the coffin board, half-jokingly said: "I have to thank you for not killing me back then, otherwise I wouldn't be able to live now.

Although it is not suitable for drinking in the morning, but it is hard for old friends to meet again, so it is okay to make an exception, right?I still have the half jug of wine that I drank back then. "

As he said that, Li Shuo took out an old wine bottle out of nowhere, which was still half full of cloudy white wine, but from the outside, the wine didn't look like a high-end product.

If Keqing was here, she would definitely be able to recognize that this kind of wine is indeed not a high-end product, and even said that it doesn't have a name of its own, it's just ordinary loose wine.

Because the price is cheap, it is very popular among the stevedores in Liyue Port.

Half a bottle of bulk liquor seems to have brought back Zhongli's memories: "A friend I haven't seen for many years is indeed worth a drink."

"The Xiangsheng Hall is quite close to the seaside. Now this spot is probably quite clean, so where should I choose?"

Zhong Li rested his right elbow on his left hand, touched his chin with his right hand, pondered for a moment and said, "From a general theory, there is indeed no more suitable location than the seaside."

"Let's do it!"

Li Shuo said as he pressed the edge of the coffin with one hand, then tapped his feet lightly, and jumped out of the coffin.

Then, walking towards the outside of Xiangsheng Hall, he raised the half bottle of loose wine in his hand, and said to Mandrill who had been waiting all night behind him: "Don't worry, I just borrowed it from your boss first, and I will return it later of."

Chapter 32: Old friends meet again

The seaside of Liyue Port in the morning is at high tide, and the turbulent seawater is rolling up to the seaside with the strong sea breeze, not only washing away the traces of the past, but also sending countless wealth to the shore without knowing it.

In the early years of Liyue, when the tide was low, there would always be a large number of Liyue residents coming to catch the tide. If you were lucky, you could even pick up a basketful of seafood on this night. The goods are carried to eat Huyan, and the family's livelihood will be settled in the next week.

I don't know when it started, the ebb and flow of the sea is still going on, more tourists come to the beach to pick up shells and pearls, but the Liyue people who catch the tide can't see it.

Is it rich?

Maybe?

But the more critical reason is that with the emergence of Xinyuexuan and Liuliting, high-end ingredients have been monopolized in various ways, making it difficult for these seafood to flow into the market.

Without the market, naturally there will be no such grand occasion as the crowds are empty and the beach is catching up with the tide.

Standing by the sea, Li Shuo let the sea water flow up to his ankles. Looking at the uncanny workmanship of nature, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. The last time he saw such a magnificent beauty was... last night.

He took out the wine bottle, unscrewed it and threw the cap into the sea. Li Shuo took two sips.

I don’t know if it’s because the wine has been kept for too long, or it may be that the wine Li Shuo has drunk these years is almost the most high-end wine in Liyue, and I’m not used to drinking this kind of bulk wine. The wine is hot and chokes the throat.

Li Shuo thought of something again, turned his head to look at Zhongli and said, "Liyue Qixing spent [-] million moras to let me find you within three days."

"Ah."

"Here."

After taking two sips, Li Shuo handed the wine bottle to Zhong Li, and he didn't care that the beach was soaked by the seawater that hit him just now, so he just sat down on the ground: "Why can't you think about it all of a sudden, is the dignified rock king uncomfortable? I also think about it." Like Barbatos, leave the stall and leave?"

"Cuckoo."

Zhongli drank one-third of the remaining half bottle of wine in one gulp. For him, eating and drinking are important, but is there anything more important than being able to have a drink with an old friend?

For Zhongli, after thousands of years passed, this kind of opportunity became more and more precious.

Zhongli: "Liyue needs to change, isn't this the idea that Li put forward at the beginning? It even almost succeeded."

Li Shuo turned his head and gestured with his thumb and index finger: "You're right, it's only a hundred million points away!"

"So Lee gave up?"

While Zhongli was speaking, the waves rushed again, but this time before they were about to swallow them up, a rock wall protruded from the ground, like a shield, helping Zhongli and Li Shuo divide the seawater into two from the middle.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Li Shuo raised his hands high, looking at the somewhat groggy sky and laughing wantonly.

At this moment, he was in an extremely comfortable mood: "I give up? Are you kidding me? You are the emperor of Yan and I am not. Liyue's future cares about me!

Then again, even if one day Liyue disappears directly from Tivat Continent due to some inexplicable reason, as long as I, Li Shuo, are willing, no matter where I go, I will still be my master. "

Zhongli: "But you don't want to!"

"Yes, I really don't want to. After all, I don't have many friends and they are all in Liyue. But speaking of before, I admit that I still have some feelings for Liyue.

Now?It's nice to live in, but that's about it.

Let me continue to work hard for Liyue?How much mora are you going to give me? "

Zhong Li remained silent.

The two of them didn't say how much they knew each other, but it was still possible to tell whether some of the words were sincere or just out of anger.

Li Shuo said that Liyue has no feelings, this is not just a joke, nor is it because of the resentment caused by being completely disappointed with Liyue, but simply sees through the essence of Liyue, and gradually realizes that this place is actually not the one in his fantasy hometown.

Zhong Li returned the remaining wine to Li Shuo, and sat next to him: "At first I thought that with the contract and the enactment of laws, there are laws to follow in everything, and everyone acts according to the law, Li Yue will run on its own, even if There are one or two mediocre people in Liyue Seven Stars, as long as the contract is still in place, the law is still in place, and Gan Yu is there to assist, Liyue Immortals supervise the implementation, Liyue will still not be deformed and corrupted.

During this period, I sent down oracles every year to guide Liyue's direction, and I believe that everyone in Liyue will eventually live a prosperous and healthy life in time. "

Li Shuo raised his head and took a sip of wine and said, "Yes, according to the standards of 700 years ago, you have indeed done it, and you have done it perfectly. The average living standard of Liyue people is probably lower than Liyue's. When it was first established, the conditions of those great nobles were even better, right?

Of course, the life of the Liyue people cannot be compared with the life of the immortals back then, but for the Emperor Yanwang and the immortals who have come all the way and witnessed all these changes with their own eyes, they should be full of joy in the face of this change. Have a sense of pride? "

It is undeniable that Zhongli did have such thoughts, it should be said that he had such thoughts for a long time.He said: "A few years ago, when I met with the three-eyed and five-manifested immortals, I talked about the current Liyue.

They lamented that Liyue's changes were too great, the sprouts that broke ground at the beginning have now become towering trees with luxuriant branches and leaves, and a single tree forms a forest.

He also said that Liyue's changes are too fast now, and they have begun to be unable to keep up with Liyue's rhythm, and it is difficult to understand Liyue's thoughts.

Some immortals even said that now Liyue is the Liyue of the Liyue people, and is no longer the stumbling and toddler child who was sheltered by the immortals.

Perhaps, it is time for us to let go and let them face the storms of the future alone.

As the immortals who witnessed Liyue's development and changes, we were indeed very proud at that time, until..."

Li Shuo looked sideways at Zhong Li, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Until my head got flooded, and I suddenly started talking nonsense?"

Zhongli: "Li Fa sincerely praised me."

Li Shuo: "I also gritted my teeth and scolded you."

Zhongli: "Li praised me for two and a half sticks of incense."

Li Shuo: "I scolded you for 27 sentences!"

Zhongli: "Li praised me for the jade stone, which can illuminate the world; it is as bright as a star, and it is unparalleled in both vertical and horizontal directions."

Li Shuo: "I scold you... Forget it... I was young and ignorant at that time, and I didn't understand the dangers of the world.

Now, I only know how to take people's money and get rid of disasters with people.

I just want to save some wife money for myself while I am young, and when I am almost ready, I will find an honest woman to marry and come home to warm my bed. By the way, I will work harder to see if I can start a football team. "

Chapter 33: Once upon a time as a boy

Take people's money and eliminate disasters with others?

Zhong Li looked at Li Shuo's eyes looking at the sea, and suddenly remembered the words he told himself back then:

Three thousand and 700 years are fleeting for immortals, but for Liyue people, they are vicissitudes.

Looking forward to the present with the eyes of 700 years ago and looking back at the history of 700 years with the eyes of today will be two completely different worlds.

People are moving forward, and immortals are stepping forward.

Li Shuo even hypothesized a situation:

Three thousand and seven hundred years ago, there was such a country called Yueli, and the seven stars of Yueli were elected to rule on its behalf.

At first, the people at the bottom of Yueli dreamed that they could have a spacious house with enough food for three years.

When winter comes, the house can withstand the snowstorm, and the clothes can withstand the severe cold.

If you can meet a kind noble master, even if you accidentally say the wrong thing, you don't have to worry about being beaten to death.

Or consider discussing with Er Gouzi's father in the next village to see if he can take his eldest daughter and add two feet of cloth in exchange for his Niuniu.

Later, with the development of Yueli, the low-level people of Yueli, who used to be comparable to slaves, did not want to live this kind of life again, probably because they walked with their left foot first and were beaten to death.

So these people banded together and tried to fight for their rights!

In the eyes of Yueli Qixing back then, what does this kind of behavior have to do with thugs?So they did not hesitate to use the method of thunder to directly suppress these rebellious mobs.

This incident alarmed the immortals. After the immortals got together to discuss, they felt that the life of a slave is also a life, and indeed it should not be killed casually.
