The next day, Xiao Jie brought people to Tang Mansion.

Across a yard, Xiao Jie could smell the smell of blood emanating from the study, but Xiao Jie still ignored the dissuasion of others and walked into the study.

The room was filled with a lingering smell of blood, and Tang Heng's body fell straight to the door, with a dagger stuck in his chest, the blood on the ground had already solidified, presumably he had died last night.

Xiao Jie frowned involuntarily, and felt a little depressed in his heart. He thought that the Li family would kill Tang Heng to silence him, but he didn't expect that the other party's attack would be so quick and vicious, and he would not be given a chance to react.

At this time, the guards in the yard also interrogated the servants of Tang's mansion one by one, saying that Zhang Erlang, Tang Heng's personal servant, was missing, and suspected that he might be the one who did it.

Xiao Jie shook his head, whether it was Zhang Erlang who killed Tang Heng or not, it definitely had something to do with Tang Heng's death, but since he is missing now, Xiao Jie feels that there is a high probability that someone will silence him.

After all, with the decisiveness and ruthlessness of the opponent, he will never let go of any threat or hidden danger.

Xiao Jie shook his head helplessly again, but his eyes accidentally caught a glimpse of the brazier under the desk, and there seemed to be traces of burnt paper inside.

Xiao Jie went up, knelt down and carefully looked at the ashes in the brazier, took a brush and fiddled with it twice, and soon noticed a small piece inside that was not completely burned.

Xiao Jie didn't care about anything, and directly reached out to pick it up to have a look, only to see the word "Qi" on it.

Xiao Jie's heart moved slightly, and he immediately thought that this was the letter Tang Heng wanted to write to himself before he died, but it was burned by the murderer.

Xiao Jie fell into contemplation for a moment. Before Tang Heng wrote a letter to himself before he died, he must have hoped that he could save his life. Therefore, he naturally betrayed the Li family in the letter, shaking off all the details of the Li family, so that This is to prove the value of their existence.

Xiao Jie quietly looked at the ashes in the basin, and gradually had an idea in his heart, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Did the people in the Li family really think that it would be okay to burn the letter?

……

In the study room of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Jia Yi brought in a middle-aged scribe who was blindfolded by a black cloth.

Xiao Jie nodded slightly, and Jia Yi immediately tore off the black cloth in front of the middle-aged scribe.

The middle-aged scribe shook his head, blinked his eyes a few times, and finally got used to the light in front of him. He glanced at the surrounding environment blankly, and finally set his eyes on Xiao Jie, wondering: "What on earth are you? Man, you and I have never met before, why did you tie me here?"

"Bold! This is our Highness King Qi, how dare you be so rude!" Jia Yi sternly introduced Xiao Jie, and also saved Xiao Jie's self-introduction.

The middle-aged scribe was also obviously frightened by Xiao Jie's identity. He knelt down in a hurry and kowtowed to Xiao Jie repeatedly: "The Caomin Du Lun sees Your Highness King Qi. The Caomin offended His Highness for a while, and I hope His Highness will forgive you."

Xiao Jie smiled lightly, and said softly: "Your name is Du Lun, right? I heard that your nickname is Miaoshou Scholar, and you are very good at imitating other people's handwriting. It is said that there is no handwriting in the world that you can't copy, right?"

Although Xiao Jie sounded like he was praising him, Du Lun's expression was extremely unnatural, he murmured for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "It's just a little trick, it's not elegant, and His Highness laughed at it."

Du Lun has been secretly crying in his heart. He made a living by copying books for others in Panyu City, and rarely showed his ability, so not many people knew about it, but he didn't know why it was heard by His Royal Highness Qi Wang. In the midst of this, he even specially ordered someone to tie him up, I'm afraid today will be more ominous than ominous.

Xiao Jie motioned Du Lun to sit down at a small table, then took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, on which was a poem he had just copied, Xiao Jie put the paper in front of Du Lun, and said with a smile: "I'm really I want to see Mr. Du's ability, this is my handwriting, come and copy it for me to see."

Du Lun seemed a little reluctant, but he didn't dare to refuse, so he could only smile dryly at Xiao Jie: "Since Your Highness wants to see it, then the grass-roots people will make a fool of themselves."

After saying that, Du Lun picked up the paper Xiao Jie gave him, his eyes suddenly became darker, and he stared at every word on the paper quietly, as if he wanted to draw every word deeply in his mind.

Afterwards, Du Lun picked up the brush that he had already prepared, made a few strokes in the air, and then began to dip in the thick ink. He wrote on a piece of white paper, writing vigorously, completely in one go, without a moment's pause in the middle .

After finishing writing, Du Lun put down the pen, picked up the paper with both hands and presented it to Xiao Jie, and said in a low voice, "Please look over it, Your Highness."

Xiao Jie took the paper, just glanced at it, and couldn't help being slightly startled, if he hadn't just watched him write it stroke by stroke with his own eyes, and the ink on the paper was still wet, he really thought it was written by himself.

He picked up the paper he had given Du Lun to copy, and compared the two carefully. Sure enough, the handwriting on the two papers was exactly the same, even the details between the lines were exactly the same, even he himself couldn't tell the difference.

Xiao Jie smiled slightly, as expected of a skilled scholar, isn't this the person I'm looking for?

"It's no wonder that you can be called a scholar with wonderful hands. The master's skill is really amazing." Xiao Jie should still praise it.

It's just that Du Lun didn't show a look of being flattered. Instead, there was a hint of uneasiness in his eyes, but he had to reply honestly: "It's just a small skill, Your Highness is too praised."

Xiao Jie was also polite, and directly took out a few accounting books of Tangji Rice Company from the drawer, as well as a few sheets of paper full of words, put them all in front of Du Lun, and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Du, I will Mr. Du is here to ask Mr. Du to do me a small favor, that is, to use the handwriting on these account books to help me copy the contents of those papers. Of course, I will not let Mr. Du work for nothing. , I will give you a sum of money after the matter is completed, which is enough to ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life."

But Du Lun fell to his knees in front of Xiao Jie with a plop, kowtowed several times, and said in a sobbing voice: "Caomin dare not ask His Highness for rewards, but only asks His Highness to spare Caomin's life."

Xiao Jie seemed a little surprised, smiled and said: "How do you know that I will kill you afterwards?"

Du Lun hesitated for a moment, and finally heaved a long sigh and said, "Caomin dare not lie to His Highness. Caomin was originally from the capital. He used to make a living by copying handwriting. He even took in a disciple. His life is not bad. But there are One day Caomin’s disciple told Caomin that he was going to help a high-ranking official copy a letter, but the next day he disappeared, and his life and death were unknown. Caomin guessed that he was silenced in all likelihood.”

"Caomin was terrified, and fled to Jiaozhou overnight with his wife, children, and children. Since then, he dared not show this ability, let alone make a living with it, but he did not expect to be found by His Highness..."

Speaking of this, Du Lun kowtowed to Xiao Jie several times, begging bitterly: "Your Highness, Cao Min will never confide a word to others about what you want Cao Min to do today, I just ask Your Highness to forgive me." Grassroots have one life, there are old and young, and there is no way to just die in vain.”

Xiao Jie smiled slightly, nodded his head and said: "You have such ability, helping people to copy books to live is too humiliating, you will be my clerk in the future, and bring your wife and children to the Governor's Mansion, as long as you Do things for me well, and I won't treat you badly."

Du Lun was overjoyed when he heard the words. He thought it would be good to save his life, but he never thought that he would be able to hang out with King Qi in the future. The days to come will not be prosperous!

"Grassman... No, this subordinate is willing to do the work of a dog and a horse for His Highness."

Xiao Jie nodded slightly, then smiled and said: "You copy the contents of those papers as soon as possible, I will have them tomorrow."

Du Lun bowed and said, "Your Highness, just rest assured, it won't take tomorrow, and your subordinates can finish it."

Xiao Jie nodded, and left the study room without waiting for Du Lun to finish writing.

He is now going to the Qilin Guard Jiaozhou Division. After all, arresting Li Mao cannot be without the presence of the Qilin Guard.

This time, I will definitely destroy the entire Li family in Longxi!
