How to work

Chapter 32 Provocation

"So, what's going on with your subordinates?"

It was rare that the sky was sunny after the snow, and the sun was warm. Lu Li smiled slightly, his side face seemed to be covered with a layer of jade fat, shining brightly.

Zhao Zhu paused for a moment, but did not answer.He passed Lu Li and took two steps forward, watching the snowdrifts in the distance slightly melt away, revealing the wet land, his voice was very empty and far away, "What do you think——what kind of person am I?"

With his hands behind his back, his chin was raised slightly, his lips were tightly pursed, and the lines of his face were as tough as a knife.His back is tall and strong, and his momentum is unique.

Regardless of the expression in his eyes, Zhao Zhu once showed a kind of noble and contemptuous look. Lu Li always felt that his background must be extraordinary, but at this moment, looking at the back of this man, he suddenly felt a little... lonely.

This man is powerful and proud, but he is a lone wolf, maybe he has subordinates, but at this moment, right now, he must have no friends with whom to sit and drink.

I don't know why, but Lu Li felt that way.

He took two steps forward and stood beside Zhao Zhu, "At first... I thought you were a retired soldier, but after getting along with you, I found that you are very imposing, calm, and composed. I think you are at least an officer... I don't know, Forward, major general?" The level of the two people's circles is too different, the faint questioning in Lu Li's voice became weaker, and he once again thought that he had nothing worthy of Zhao Zhu's ulterior motives to approach and deceive.

"Front...major general?" Zhao Zhu's voice seemed self-deprecating, "Do you think I am?"

The speculation offended him.Lu Li had the feeling that he underestimated him.But he was not familiar with the military bureaucracy, he really couldn't guess what height Zhao Zhu should be, but no matter what, "You should... have men?"

Zhao Zhu looked at the sky and said in a low voice, "That secret place is probably an ancient tomb. There are many traps inside, and I saw many corpses. I was trapped inside and couldn't get out. Finally, I broke through a wall and saved two... People, we rushed out together, and after that, we met Zhaoxing."

Zhao Zhu avoids the important and ignores the important, using language and demeanor to hint at the direction of the topic, "I don't know him, if I didn't remember the traces you found on the beams before, I wouldn't have caught him back."

He subconsciously didn't reveal his identity to Lu Li, and after he finished speaking, he felt a little regretful, and his brows frowned very tightly.He is a dignified prince, a marshal of soldiers and horses, and he has no need to hide his identity wherever he goes, but he actually avoids Lu Li's question!

Avoidance is also avoidance, sometimes it is troublesome for a high-ranking person to reveal his identity when walking in the market, but he immediately regrets this behavior!

Zhao Zhu felt a little restless.

He has known about this marriage since he was a child, and he has been very repulsed since he was a child. He even hoped that this fiancée would disappear to save trouble, but when he met by chance, this young man was very interesting, and he found a reasonable excuse for him to observe closely.

The youth has a kind of innocence that does not know the world, and also has a kind of intelligence that is so wise that it is close to a monster. It is very contradictory, but it is also unique and outstanding enough.He still hadn't thought about marrying him, but it's a pity to lose such a talent...

Zhao Zhu quickly found a reason for himself, adjusted his mentality, and turned to look at Lu Li.

The tips of Lu Li's eyes drooped slightly, his slightly closed eyelashes trembled slightly, his obsidian eyes shone with stunning splendor, he was thinking, thinking very seriously.

Zhao Zhu's eyes stopped and he forgot to look away for a moment.

"You have amnesia, it's not surprising that someone came here... But you only saved two people, and Zhai Xing deliberately induced me, he was sowing discord... The first time he saw you and me, he could analyze us. He is very smart... The murder case at Ciguang Temple has nothing to do with picking up stars, he is at most an eyewitness, but he is unwilling to cooperate, unwilling to provide any clues, and even mentions that there are large mountains of corpses around...an ancient tomb , to the west, there must be—”

Lu Li suddenly raised his head to look at Zhao Zhu, "There must be a big secret between the Ciguang Temple and the ancient tomb, and Zhaixing is related to this secret!" Zhaixing is playing tricks, is he also hesitating whether to let him know this secret? ?

Lu Li's face was exposed to the sun, his eyes were shining brightly, and his expression was indescribably vivid and dazzling. As if Zhao Zhu had been stabbed, he squinted and turned his head, "Maybe."

"It must be like this!" Lu Li punched his palm, "Look in this direction, we will definitely find the murderer! But before that, we have to find that cemetery..." He thought about it, and left excitedly, looking for the murderer. County magistrate Huang went to discuss.

Xing Zuo, who was eavesdropping on the eaves, covered his mouth and smiled, "He actually said that the prince is a striker hahahahahaha..."

"Keep your voice down." Hong You reminded with a suppressed smile.

"But the prince didn't blame us...Xiaoyou, our concubine is very powerful, she has to hug her thighs! You don't know, my heart was lifted just now when he asked us!"

"He's not the princess yet."

"That's right, I only called once, and the prince was not happy."

Seeing that Xing Zuo was a little listless, Hong You patted him on the head, "Maybe one day, you will be angry if you don't call me Princess and Prince."

"Really?"

"real."

……

Watching Lu Li leave, Zhao Zhu stretched out his hand and twisted his wrist.His eyes gradually turned cold, becoming almost bloodthirsty.

He pushed open the door of the room.

Zhai Xing greeted with a smile, "Hey, have you coaxed Xiao Qinger well?"

Zhao Zhu frowned, disliking this name very much.

He took two steps forward, suddenly his gaze sharpened, his figure leaped out like lightning, and his palm was slashed down like a knife!

Zhai Xing backed up sharply and lowered his body, almost touching the ground, but was still swept by the wind of his palm. He kicked off the pillar vigorously with his feet, quickly made a small turn, and did somersaults three times before leaving Zhao Zhu's attack.

He raised his hands that were still tied together and smiled flatteringly, "Look, I'm still tied!" His delicate side face was swollen and looked extremely funny.

Zhao Zhu's expression was indifferent, his teeth seemed to glow coldly, like a wolf on the prairie, about to bite the neck of its prey, and said slowly, "You can't beat me, even if you untie the rope by chance, you won't dare to run away." But This king is very upset, even if you keep that poor rope, he will beat you!

Zhao Zhu turned his palms into claws, and after making a gesture, the person attacked.

Reaching for the stars started with lightness kung fu, scurrying around the room, his figure was so fast that it almost dazzled people, his eyes were full of double images, not only on the ground, but all around, and even on the roof were his silver-white figures.

Zhao Zhu let out a cold snort, and for some reason, with a palm wind, the figure flashed, and he dragged him into his hands, and punched him in the face.

His hands seemed to be sticky, and he couldn't shake them off no matter what. Zhai Xing couldn't dodge left and right, so he simply blocked his face and let him hit him enough.

It's a pity that it can't be stopped...

Zhao Zhu beat him up for a long time before tying him to the chair again, "Now, can we talk?"

Zhai Xing's face was blue and purple, even the beautiful peach blossom eyes were deformed, the corners of the painful mouth twitched, and he smiled cheaply, "Of course, whoever we are with, we are friends in adversity... deep affection , Right, no matter how smart your little love is, he is not the person we are."

Zhao Zhu's cool and sharp eyes turned.

Zhai Xing shrank back, "I really don't know, I just took a casual tour that night, I only saw dead bodies, but didn't see any murderers. It's very interesting to chat with your little lover, so I teased him..."

Zhao Zhu narrowed his eyes, "Interesting?"

Zhai Xing immediately rolled his eyes, "It's boring, it's boring! You beat me up, I promise I won't dare!" A ambiguous smile appeared on his face, "You want to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, of course I won't spoil your business, but ...Are you sure this game is fun? Don't kill the chicken for nothing."

Zhao Zhu didn't speak, but glanced at Zhai Xing.His eyes seemed calm, but endless threats were buried inside.

Zhaxing smiled, "I know you regret arresting me, but don't worry, I will be obedient and promise not to talk nonsense."

……

Lu Li didn't interrogate Zhai Xing until the evening, because he felt that Zhai Xing had some conspiracy and would definitely not tell the truth, so it was better to let it hang out.He had been waiting for the feedback from magistrate Huang, especially about the west side, but there was no reply until late at night, so he had no choice but to go to bed first.

Who told him that he didn't have martial arts, the terrain to the west was too complicated, and the time was late, and he couldn't go there at all when he was not sure about his safety.

Fortunately, Zhao Zhu did not go out tonight.

When Lu Li went to the latrine for the last time before going to bed, Zhao Zhu happened to go out to solve this problem, and the two met face to face.

Lu Li smiled very sincerely.

It is impossible to say that the words of reaching the stars did not affect him at all, but no matter how he analyzed, he couldn't find the possibility that Zhao Zhu deliberately deceived him.Even if Zhao Zhu gets better and remembers something, even if his subordinates find him, who can't have privacy?Maybe he has some difficulties and can't say it?Maybe there are many things involved, and it would be dangerous to know, so he can't say it?

There are many, many possibilities, he is willing to believe in Zhao Zhu, but he is not without regrets in his heart.Because it means that Zhao Zhu doesn't trust him.

But trust between people is a long-term process, especially between smart people, he can't ask people who have known each other for less than a month to trust each other to the point of delivery.

But he was still worried about Zhao Zhu.

The stronger a person is, the more he will be accompanied by danger. The moment Zhao Zhu thinks of everything may be the time when the two part.Finally, there is some friendship. If Zhao Zhu doesn't see him, he will be worried, just like last night, he didn't sleep well...

"Have a good rest." Lu Li made a face at Zhao Zhu, "Don't worry me."

Zhao Zhu froze for a moment, then frowned and nodded, "Pretentious."

Lu Li yelled at his back, "Bah! I'm worried about how hypocritical you are!"

Zhao Zhu walked forward without turning his head, worrying about the king, worrying silently, just worrying silently, insisting on saying it, and saying that he didn't mean to make people think about it is not hypocritical...

Zhao Zhu recalled the people in his memory who wanted to seduce him with the trick of worrying, all of them used worried eyes, gestures and expressions that were eager to talk, trying to get him to ask, only then did he express his heart and express his feelings, trying to make him feel sorry... Yes, normal people are like this.

Lu Li...is still too tender.

But Lu Li has seven orifices in his heart and is very exquisite. All kinds of expressions, is it because he likes himself, or... guessed something?

Zhao Zhu doesn't know, he can't see it yet, but he is quite confident in himself, even without the blessing of status, he is still a mighty and outstanding man, it's normal to be liked by others...

Early the next morning, Lu Li subconsciously went to find Zhao Zhu.Zhao Zhu was already fully dressed, looking at his face with distaste, "Go wash up."

Lu Li saw that his eyes kept lingering on his own eyes... Is there eye feces?

He rubbed his eyes, as long as Zhao Zhu was here, "Let's have dinner together later!" After finishing speaking, he ran back to the room.

Zhao Zhu stood up with his arms folded, his eyebrows raised high.

To come to see him early in the morning without doing anything, to miss him so much...

This day's meal was still brought by Shen Wansha himself to the fasting room, and when he came back, he brought a big news, "Magistrate Huang has sealed off Master Meng's yard!"

"Why?" Lu Li was surprised.

County magistrate Huang is a very measured person. As Meng Qian, he will not act excessively for no reason.

"It is said that the police officers found aconitou from Yu Shi's room." Shen Wansha tore the rolls and ate them, "Aconitou, remember? Didn't we find a piece of aconitum together yesterday? The one in Yu Shi's room The characteristics of aconitum are similar to those in that field. The police inspected the site and found that some traces of aconitum were very new, which should have been dug. After comparison, Wang Dexing believed that the aconitum in Yu Shi’s room was from aconitum. dug from the ground."

Lu Li had a light smile on his face, and his voice was slightly sarcastic, "Aconitou... We just discovered this clue yesterday, and today someone appeared in the room and was identified as a suspect."

"There is physical evidence. County magistrate Huang is not selfish. After discussing with Young Master Meng, the yard was sealed off. No one except Young Master Meng can leave the yard for the time being. He promised to find out the facts soon. At the same time, he asked Young Master Meng to cooperate and close the courtyard. Tell me clearly about the maidservant Pomegranate's pregnancy." Shen Wansha finished talking about the case of Huang County Magistrate, then looked at Lu Li, "You seem to think...is it a bit of a coincidence?"

"It is necessary to know the mortal hatred between the three masters and servants of Meng Qian and the five deceased. Without sufficient motives, no conclusion can be drawn arbitrarily in any murder case." Lu Li said in a slow voice.

"But Wang Dexing has already treated Meng Qian's master and servant as criminals." Shen Wansha couldn't help but smile when he thought of that scene, "Today, County Magistrate Huang will be in trouble for a long time, do you want to go and see?"

The excitement of gossip flashed in Shen Wansha's eyes, but Lu Li was not interested, "I can't find a motive, it's too early, I want to go west today."

Speaking of this, Lu Li looked at Zhao Zhu, "I heard that the terrain in the west is a bit steep, so it's not safe, can Big Brother Zhao accompany me?"

Zhao Zhu hummed condescendingly, with an arrogance of 'since you begged me, I will reluctantly agree'.

The corners of Lu Li's eyes trembled, and he held back not to curse.

Zhao Zhu has this kind of virtue, he has already seen it.

Shen Wansha raised his hand immediately, "I'll go too, I'll go too!"

Lu Li asked him, "Aren't you going to see magistrate Huang?"

Shen Wansha shook his head, "You don't mean anything anymore. I suddenly remembered, didn't that Zhaxing talk about ancient tombs? I once read a legend in the county annals...Little Lizi, do you know the ancient kingdom of Nanzhao? ?”
