How to work

The case is solved, Zhao Zhu is very satisfied, if his power can be exchanged for a passionate kiss from his wife... he will be even more satisfied.

Facing the cool wind, with the moon and stars on his shoulders, King Ping walked back home with big and fast steps, until he passed the gate of Shou Anbo.

Shou'anbo is a vassal prince, he doesn't enter the court and doesn't care about the government, he only receives a salary of rice cloth. In the Great Xia Dynasty, there are many people with such status.But Shou'anbo is different from others, he was favored by the late emperor, and the title was bestowed by the late emperor himself, this big Shou'anbo mansion was also enclosed by the late emperor himself, and the Ministry of Industry and Construction elaborately built it.

When Guo Wei was young, he was quite good at making money. Even if the favor was only a flash in the pan, it was enough for him to do a lot of things.

This uncle's mansion was not built beyond the rules, but its size, comfort, and practicality were all very strong. It was also located in a place where every inch of land was expensive in Shangjing City. It could not be said to be luxurious or unsafe.

With such a strong sense of existence, it is impossible for normal people to be blind and not see it. The Nabo Mansion is so large that it was suddenly attacked at night... It is understandable for ordinary people not to know, but Zhao Zhu, King Ping, and the military commander of the five cities also have no idea!

Zhao Zhu glanced over the gate of Shou'an Bo's mansion, stopped abruptly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly jumped up to the top of Shou'an Bo's wall to observe the terrain inside.

The divisions of the courtyards are neatly drawn, the walls are not high, and there are no trees beside the walls...

Night raiders don't fight with open flames, but when night raiders fight against their masters, swords, lights and swords are indispensable.Wu Yong confessed that the night raiders were very powerful, and the two sides fought for a long time. The walls of Shou'anbo Mansion were not very high, and there was no line of sight to block them. How could no one see them?

Are all the soldiers and horses of the five cities dead?

Or are they all AWOL, lazy and slippery!

No, not possible.Zhao Zhu frowned.There are emperors and ministers in Shangjing City, law and order are so important, night patrol soldiers dare not get drunk at most by sneaking a little wine, how can such a major event as the attack on the uncle's mansion not be reported!

If it wasn't this, then someone responded quickly when the incident happened, lured the night watchman away, or used some means to benefit...

Shou Anbo and Guo Wei don't have this ability yet.

Zhao Zhu snorted coldly, that means someone was behind it.

Emperor Taijia has been on the throne for seven years. In the first four years, the Great Xia was full of wars. He devoted all his energy to how to protect the country. In some respects, he must make trade-offs and compromises. Until the fifth year, the war gradually subsided, and he had time to close his hands. Take care of government affairs.Emperor Taijia was smart and diligent, and he was quite effective in the past two years, but there were still many remaining problems, such as the officials in the court, who was loyal and who was treacherous, and who had secret thoughts. Some Emperor Taijia knew, some didn't know, and some knew cannot be processed immediately...

You can't do whatever you want to be an emperor, you can do whatever you want. Emperor Taijia needs time.He has his own way of weighing and suppressing the government affairs of the court, and he has handed over all the security aspects to Zhao Zhu.

The power in Zhao Zhu's hands is indeed not small, he has military power and prestige, among other things, at least he issued an order casually, and no one in the north dared not listen.But it has only been less than half a year since he officially returned to Shangjing. Although he took over the military affairs of Shangjing, the people under his rule are not his direct descendants. Everyone has their own thoughts, and he can't rule casually if he doesn't fall into his hands. ...

Of course, Zhao Zhu was able to manage a huge army, so this little trouble was nothing. Up to now, he had managed [-]% of the troops in Shangjing.

He didn't know about the Shou'anbo mansion, but it must be related to the remaining two adults...

He is now absolutely sure that there must be someone behind Shou Anbo.Even if the corruption case has nothing to do with this person, there must be other schemes between the two!

Zhao Zhu staggered his hands, his knuckles made a 'click' sound, his sharp eyes looked bloodthirsty under the moonlight, and even the corners of his lips showed a strange evil.

Xing Zuo shook his body and almost let go of his hands and fell off the wall.He swallowed his saliva, and quietly moved to Hong You's side: "My lord...he wants to kill someone..."

Hong You touched his little head: "If you know, stay away."

"Yeah!" Xing's left eyelid trembled, "I want to ask for instructions to protect the princess!" It's safest to stay with the princess!

……

Lu Li has been waiting for Zhao Zhu.All the previous plans will come to fruition today, and he hopes everything goes well.

He guessed that Zhao Zhu would not come back very early, so he finished his dinner hastily, practiced his calligraphy, and asked someone to bring in a bucket to take a comfortable hot bath.Afterwards, he opened the window, took a book and sat in front of the window, drying his hair while reading, but his hair was almost dry, and Zhao Zhu hadn't come back yet.

Seeing that Lu Li didn't use much at night, Hu Weiwei felt sorry for his poor appetite, and asked several times if he wanted some supper, as if he didn't want to go to bed at night if he couldn't get a positive answer.Lu Li looked at the sky outside, thinking that Zhao Zhu would be back soon, "Let the chef prepare two bowls of chicken shredded noodles... Serve them together when Zhao Zhu comes back."

"Okay!" Hu Weiwei immediately smiled, and was about to run to the kitchen with her skirt in hand.

"Sister Weiwei——" Lu Li called her, "You are my sister, I am not feeling well, whether I am happy or not, I will definitely tell you the truth, I am not uncomfortable at all now, don't worry, okay? Under the kitchen Find someone to pass the message, you go back to sleep earlier, women's skin will be bad if they don't sleep well, be careful that no one will want you to become a yellow-faced woman tomorrow."

Hu Weiwei was very moved when she heard the first half of the sentence, and rolled her eyes when she heard the latter, "Auntie, it's up to others to pick and choose? It's my mother who doesn't want others. If my mother likes one, I'll see where he goes!"

Lu Li looked at her with a smile, "Yeah, it's even more fierce, Sister Weiwei is really cute and forthright!"

Hu Weiwei: ...

If it wasn't for her brother, she would have shot him to death!Outspoken and cute is used to describe her!No matter what, she has to be a femme fatale!

But although these words are a bit against my will, it sounds good...

Hu Weiwei looked at Lu Li seriously.The younger brother is handsome, gentle and polite, and he still has the potential to seduce girls now. It is a pity to follow King Ping, otherwise there will be a bunch of little girls crying and shouting to marry him.

Lu Li's scalp felt a little numb when she used the expression "It's a pity, it's a pity" with loving and caring eyes, "Sister Weiwei?"

Hu Weiwei let out a '嗐', and couldn't bear to continue looking at her lovely brother, covered her eyes with a handkerchief, turned around and left in a hurry.

Lu Li: ...

After a busy day and cold air in the middle of the night, a bowl of hot noodle soup can soothe the spleen and stomach, and Zhao Zhu feels much better after eating.

"Things are not going well?" Until then, Lu Li asked a little worriedly.

"No, it went well." Satisfied, Zhao Zhu hugged Lu Li on his lap, and sat in front of the window to bask in the moonlight.He first kissed his daughter-in-law carefully and carefully, and then told the case when he was satisfied.

Where did he imprison Wu Yong, how did he ask the imperial decree to seal the Shou'anbo mansion, and then put Guo Wei in prison and ask for a confession...

Including the speculation when he passed Shou'an Bo's mansion on the way back, Zhao Zhu told Lu Li in detail, "Wu Yong is a foolish, loyal and stupid man who thinks he is smart. Shang Qiaoqiao fully admitted the murder case of Qiu'er, but only for the embezzlement case. Don't say a word, keep your mouth shut."

Lu Li thought for a while, then patted Zhao Zhu's chest: "It's okay, don't you have another trick?"

"Indeed." Zhao Zhu gnawed on Lu Li's mouth with a satisfied smile.

Lu Li was worried that things would not go well: "Shou Anbo...will act."

"Idiots don't move. Don't worry, Shou Anbo is not stupid at all."

……

The moonlight was melting and the night was beautiful. The two of them got tired of it for a while, and Lu Li sighed softly.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhao Zhu pinched Lu Li's nose, "Your man is here, do you still have fantasies?"

Lu Li just thought of Shen Wansha.We have been handling cases together all along, the young master is extremely persistent in finding the murderer, but this time the operation is special, he and himself can only sit quietly and wait for Zhao Zhu's reply.

Right now the young master is not here, but Lu Li knows that according to the young master's pure and kind nature, after hearing the whole case, he should sigh: "If we had settled the corruption case earlier, wouldn't Shang Qiaoqiao and Qiu'er have to die?"

"Why do you think so?" Zhao Zhu took Lu Li's chin with his big hands, turned his face around, and forced him to face his eyes.

Lu Li saw Zhao Zhu's phoenix eyes were slightly rounded, and his little self was reflected in the pupils.

His eyes were flat and his brows were wrinkled, with doubts on his face, like he couldn't bear it, but also seemed regretful...

Lu Li was stunned.I really... have doubts?Blame yourself?

He shook his head, "No, that's not the case..."

"Oh? Then what do you think, I want to hear it." Zhao Zhu lingered on Lu Li's chin without letting go.

Lu Li thought for a while, and said: "I remember you said that the stalls of corruption cases are too large, and there are so many people involved. It is very troublesome to deal with them one by one."

"Yes."

"You and the emperor dealt with it in a low-key manner, and there was a little bit of differentiation. It was not until recently that the lower-level personnel were replaced."

"Correct."

Lu Li's eyelashes trembled slightly, "Judging from the silver corruption case, the people behind this scene are extremely capable. If they can't be wiped out in one fell swoop, they may cause even greater trouble to Daxia. You and the emperor have the upper hand, and it takes so much Work hard, be careful and keep a low profile to resolve it, if the people behind the scenes know about the incident...the dog jumps over the wall, the rabbit bites, the people involved in the case are all officials, whoever makes the trouble, I am afraid that more people will die."

Zhao Zhu kissed Lu Li on the forehead, "Exactly."

"We are not prophets. We should do what we should do now. Before we know what will happen in the future, it is more important to prevent possible adverse consequences..." Lu Li's voice was very shallow, "The death of Shang Qiao Qiao Qiu'er , It’s really a pity, but it’s not our fault.”

"A man should behave in a way that is worthy of others and not responsible for himself." Zhao Zhu held Lu Li's hand tightly, "During the years of war in Great Xia, the common people had a hard time resting and recuperating. The superiors have the responsibility to maintain this situation. The case is certainly hateful, but Daxia can't stand any more internal strife, and Shou Anbo really couldn't be caught before."

Lu Li leaned his head on Zhao Zhu's shoulder, looked at the moon and stars outside the window, and sighed, "But we can't say coldly that the two girls deserve it... Their families, we can help them if we can."

"En." Zhao Zhu embraced Lu Li, patted his back lightly, and said to himself that his wife is too kind, don't be coaxed and bullied by others one day, and she should be careful in the future.

……

In the prison, Guo Wei finally took action.

He is going to use his most successful person - Wu Yong.

Wu Yong is a loyal servant, very, very loyal. He thinks he is the most trusted by Guo Wei, even in front of "that one", and his status is different from others, so he immediately found a way to run out after receiving Shou Anbo's order.

He also exhausted all methods and vowed to succeed!

Because of his unremitting efforts, and because of the inconspicuous and ingenious hole that Zhao Zhu ordered to let go, Wu Yong finally ran out of the prison at midnight two days later.

Before leaving, he wanted to let Guo Wei out, but Guo Wei refused.Guo Weidao himself does not know martial arts, the most important thing now is to send messages, if Wu Yong can run, King Ping can also chase, time is of the essence.He also earnestly told Wu Yong to pay attention to safety and to take the letter with him.

Wu Yong was very moved, kowtowed several times to Guo Wei before turning around and leaving.

As soon as he ran, Zhao Zhu's men fell on it, and at the same time sent a letter to the garden.

……

These days Lu Li sleeps in the same room as Zhao Zhu, and other times it's fine, because the case is not over yet, he is worried about it, and he feels that it is not as deep as before, and when Zhao Zhu comes up, he wakes up, "But you have a letter?"

While putting on his clothes, Zhao Zhu softly coaxed him, "It's not a big deal, I'll go over and have a look, and you go back to sleep."

"I'm going too!" Lu Li knew what was going on when he heard the words, raised his hand to put on the clothes, and talked while putting them on, "I don't know martial arts, so it won't affect you, right?"

This question touches on personal ability, Zhao Zhu immediately said: "Of course it won't affect you! Don't talk about one you, there are ten you, can this king take care of you?"

Lu Li frowned, and looked at Zhao Zhu with a bright smile, "That's good."

When he spoke, he hadn't put on his clothes, his thin white shoulders were exposed, his black silky hair was lightly covered, and his red lips and teeth were matched with a white smile, which was quite attractive.

Zhao Zhu was dazzled by the beautiful scenery. For a while, he couldn't figure out whether he was facing an aggressive strategy or a beauty trick, so he subconsciously rushed towards his wife...

It's a pity that after only one kiss, Lu Li slapped him away: "There's business outside!" His brows were serious and stern, and his face was flushed when he woke up... It's even more attractive!

Zhao Zhu swallowed his saliva hard, and said that he will do things harder when he comes back!

……

After they got dressed, Zhao Zhu carried Lu Li in his arms, performed lightness kung fu under his feet, and quickly followed the subordinate's marks to catch up with Wu Yong.

Wu Yong is good at martial arts and runs very fast.But King Ping's team was trained with great effort, no matter how careful he was, he would still be unable to escape the pursuit, taking two steps back and three steps forward, three steps left and three steps right.

He himself does not know!

Lu Li watched him circling all the way, frowning tightly, "What is he trying to do?"

"See if there is anyone following behind, if there is, then get rid of it." Zhao Zhu snorted coldly, his expression was very contemptuous, this method was too rough.

"But isn't this a waste of time?"

"He is more afraid that the person he is looking for will be exposed." Comparing the two sides, he would rather waste some time.

Lu Li pondered, "He is loyal."

"He thought so too."

……

While the two were talking, Wu Yong suddenly stopped going around in circles, and ran straight to the west!

Lu Li was surprised, "This is the end of the trial, do you feel safe?"

Zhao Zhu narrowed his slender eyes, and stabilized Lu Li's waist, "Hold tight, I'm going to follow!"

Lu Li subconsciously hugged Zhao Zhu's neck tightly.

The scenery around him receded quickly, and Lu Li's vision was a little blurred, but he still felt something was wrong, this road... "It seems to be going to Su Wang's Mansion!"

Zhao Zhu naturally noticed it too, and his voice was extremely cold, "Yes..."

Lu Li retreated quickly, but Lu Li's time passed very slowly, his heart was beating loudly... He was very eager to know whether King Su had anything to do with the money corruption case!

No matter how well written the law is, the prince who breaks the law is the same as the common people, but in fact it is very difficult to operate.Especially the royal clan, disrespecting him is a serious crime that can be beheaded, and there is no solid evidence to suspect him, let alone a happy death...

So this thing is hard.

If you are sure, you may feel sad, but if you are not sure, you will be worried, and it will be difficult to get along comfortably.

Lu Li held Zhao Zhu's skirt tightly, feeling that Zhao Zhu's hand on his waist was getting tighter and tighter, he knew that Zhao Zhu was also nervous.

He was about to pat Zhao Zhu's shoulder when he felt a pain in his waist and was almost strangled by Zhao Zhu!

Taking a closer look, it turned out that he had already arrived at King Su's gate!

But that guy Wu Yong didn't stop, he was still running forward!

And after a while, I changed the direction, and I was playing the previous set again!

……

So this matter...has nothing to do with King Su?

Zhao Zhu said that Guo Wei must be supported by someone behind him, so even if it is not King Su, he will be a very important person!Lu Li patted Zhao Zhu on the shoulder to let him relax - there is still a road ahead, so don't get distracted.

Zhao Zhu lowered his head and kissed Lu Li's forehead, adjusted his breathing, and quickly calmed down.

Thinking that there will be no more mistakes this time, who knows that when Wu Yong passed by the door of a gambling house, he suddenly shot a hidden arrow from inside, which hit Wu Yong's left chest!

The arrow was shot very straight, hitting the vital point, Wu Yong stared in disbelief, and fell down clutching his chest.

Zhao Zhu hurriedly ordered the hidden guards to surround the gambling house, put down Lu Li after landing, walked straight to Wu Yong, grabbed his collar, "Who is it! Who is Guo Wei Shangfeng!"

Wu Yong's throat was hooting, and he couldn't utter a whole sentence.

"Don't tell me?" Zhao Zhu smiled sinisterly, stepped on his wound, and he screamed out in pain, "You are seriously injured, and it is impossible to save you, but this king can make your death even more uncomfortable. !"

Wu Yong finally couldn't take it anymore, and spit out two words, "Chi...snake."

Zhao Zhu's pupils shrank suddenly, "What did you say? Say it again!"

The darker the night, the better the business of the gambling house. This is the busiest time. The people inside seem to have shot people to death, and the laughter is loud, saying anything.Zhao Zhu thought he heard it wrong, so he ordered Wu Yong to say it again.

Wu Yong repeated the word "red snake" again, and couldn't bear Zhao Zhu's strength anymore, his body twitched twice, and he died.

He didn't close his eyes when he died, and stared into the door of the casino, as if he didn't understand at all why he ended up like this.Obviously I have seen people, obviously I can...

When Zhao Zhu was shocked, Lu Li also seemed to hear a familiar voice, and suddenly pushed open the door of the casino, and ran inside——

"Lu Li——" Zhao Zhu didn't know what Lu Li was going to do, so he could only follow quickly.

Lu Li's expression was rather nervous and anxious, and he searched back and forth in the crowd a few times, but he couldn't find the voice.

Zhao Zhu hugged his waist tightly, "What's wrong?"

"I..." Lu Li's forehead was covered with sweat, his eyes were tense, "I heard that man's voice! The man who kidnapped me, fed me medicine, and wore a finger puller!"

Zhao Zhu's eyes sharpened, "The secret way in the case of the alien deceased?"

Lu Li nodded, looked around the scene, bit his lips slightly, "But he is here, but I can't find him..."

"Don't be afraid," Zhao Zhu patted his head, "I'm here."

Just now Zhao Zhu ordered the dark guards to surround the gambling house, and none of the people in the gambling house could escape, now he ordered people to separate the gamblers and question them one by one.The first thing is who shot Wu Yong to death; the second thing is to stand in front of Lu Li and say a word.

……

Casinos have always had a variety of tricks, not just dice and Pai Gow. Today, casinos play an upgraded version of pitching pots.

Generally, throwing a pot is to hold an arrow in hand and throw it into a small pot-bellied vase not far away, while the throwing pot in a gambling workshop is to directly draw a bow and shoot at Yuhuan.The casinos play this theme today, so almost everyone is shooting arrows.Then whose arrow flew out, causing the unlucky Wu Yong to be killed by the arrow... I can't tell.

Not to mention the gamblers, even the waiter in charge of the workshop said he didn't see clearly.

Everyone used the same bows and arrows prepared in the workshop, so many people shot together, who knows whose arrows flew out!

The murderer who killed Wu Yong in this way is hard to find.

On Lu Li's side, he listened to the dawn with all his energy, and everyone finished talking in front of him, but he still couldn't find that person!

Lu Li was very observant, and he was especially attentive when facing adversity. Zhao Zhu didn't doubt his ability at all. If he didn't hear it, it must be that the person wasn't here!

Called Hong You, Hong You replied: No one paid attention to the arrow before it was shot, but when the arrow hit Wu Yong, they moved immediately. I guarantee that since then, no one in the gambling house has left.But if the opponent is very confident in his own force and retreats as soon as the arrow is off the string... it is indeed possible to successfully leave.

As for Lu Li hearing that person's voice, is it not a delusion, or the other party deliberately ran to say something nearby?Or was it because the other party backed away and happened to pass near Lu Li, and Lu Li overheard his words?

Lu Li's palms were slightly sweaty, and the finger-wielding man paid attention to the treasure map...

It was too coincidental that Wu Yong hit the arrow. It might be that someone else set up a trick to silence him, but Zhao Zhu arranged everything very well. Where could there be a mistake? How could the other party know about it?

Is it not a coincidence that the finger wrench man appeared, was it intentional?

If he came here to kill Wu Yong, is there anything to do with the treasure map behind the silver corruption case?

……

Lu Li was very upset, Zhao Zhu squinted his eyes and sneered again and again.

Red Snake... Others are not familiar with it, but he just happened to know that there is a little boss code-named Red Snake in the Chiyan Hall.

Chiyantang...the aliens...is it related to the treasure map again?
