Sister, be yourself!

Chapter 167

Xiao Yuanzhi and Wei Zisu returned to the post station, and learned that Ye Shan hadn't come back all day, and the little soul-devouring beast was still missing.

This made the two of them wonder. Could it be that Ye Shan and the little Soul-devouring Beast found something?

The two of them hadn't rested for a long time before Lou Xuan rushed over.

"Sister-in-law, son-in-law, you are finally back. Brother Yu is relieved to see that the two of you are reconciled as before."

Wei Zisu said: "Brother Lao Huang misses you."

"In the future, if you have something to say, you can talk about it carefully. Don't leave as soon as you get awkward. There is no way that a husband and wife will not quarrel. After all, the imperial sister is a princess and consort. As a man, you have to give in to the imperial sister."

"Brother Huang is right, this time it is Zi Yue who is not sensible."

Lou Xuan nodded, acting as if he really cared about the two of them.

Xiao Yuanzhi didn't think that Lou Xuan came here this time to specifically say these things, "Brother Huang must have spent a lot of thought interrogating Li Xi these few days, I see that Brother Huang's complexion is a bit grim, does he not have time to be careful?" rest?"

"Li Xi is indeed a tough guy, Brother Yu came here to talk to you about it."

Xiao Yuanzhi was a little puzzled, "What does the emperor mean?"

"Brother Yu tried his best to deal with Li Xi in the past few days, but he still couldn't pry his mouth open. Just this morning, the jailer found that Li Xi had swallowed straw and stones. Fortunately, the doctor came in time to save his mouth." Life, what a pity..."

Xiao Yuanzhi said: "What a pity?"

"It's a pity that those fine gravels stabbed his throat, making him unable to speak. He can be cured, but it will take three months at least, and half a year at most. You know how much the people of Songzhou hate Li Xi. And the beheading time has been agreed before, and the people have been expecting it for a long time, if you announce the postponement of the beheading now, the people of Songzhou may feel resentment towards the imperial sister, and they will think that you are protecting Li Xi."

Xiao Yunzhi is familiar with this routine, isn't it just under the banner of "for your own good"?

Xiao Yuanzhi said: "Then let him write it down."

Lou Xuan sighed lightly, shook his head and said: "After the doctor brought him back from the gate of hell, brother Yu also asked him to write, but Li Xi became crazy, he just laughed and didn't write, he was not afraid of death at all, and he didn't want to write it. The embezzled official money will be returned to the imperial court."

Lou Xuan looked at the two of them, and said again: "Although the younger sister handed over this matter to Brother Yu, the final decision-making power is still in the hands of the younger sister and the son-in-law. What can you do?"

This made Xiao Yunzhi laugh, if Lou Xuan didn't do it on purpose, who would believe it?

A good person, let him have a first trial, he will either beg for death or be disabled.

Lou Xuan saw the displeasure in Xiao Yunzhi's eyes, "Royal sister, Brother Yu is indeed at fault in this matter, the fault is that Brother Yu wanted Li Xi to reveal the place where the official money was hidden before beheading him, brother Yu has failed the entrustment of the emperor , after returning to the capital, brother Yu will go to the father to receive the punishment, but now Li Xi will be beheaded or not?"

Lou Xuan said again: "If we don't cut it off, it will arouse the anger of the people. Although we have an army, we can't hurt those people. Brother Yu is fine, but I'm afraid that we won't be able to protect the imperial sister in time, and the imperial sister will be injured. At that time, the royal father learned of the sufferings that the imperial sister suffered in Songzhou, and Brother Yu was not easy to explain. Moreover, the imperial sister held the gold medal bestowed by the imperial father to personally interrogate Li Xi. With the gold medal, the imperial sister represented the imperial father, and everyone Daojun is not joking, if you repent temporarily, I am afraid..."

Lou Xuan didn't finish the rest of the sentence, he continued to analyze for the two of them: "But if it is beheaded, then the official money hidden by Li Xi will be hard to find, and it will be like finding a needle in a haystack."

All the roads are blocked by him, what can she do?

Xiao Yuanzhi really wanted to give this bastard who deserved a punch, but she couldn't, she asked Wei Zisu, "What does the son-in-law mean?"

Wei Zisu said: "Brother Wuhuang is right. Li Xi has committed many crimes and should be dealt with according to the law. Since he has already been sentenced, he should abide by it. After all, you are not joking."

Even though he had guessed the result early on, Xiao Yunzhi was still a little upset.

Lou Xuan brushed the hair beside his ear, and looked at Wei Zisu with a smile, "In that case, the son-in-law wants to supervise the beheading on behalf of the imperial sister?"

Xiao Yuanzhi preemptively refused and said: "No need, after Li Xi's beheading, the matter in Songzhou will be over, then I will return to the capital with my son-in-law. After returning, the son-in-law may be busy with business, so he will spend less time with me .”

Xiao Yuanzhi held Wei Zisu's hand, and said again: "I also hope that the emperor can be as beautiful as an adult, and let me take my son-in-law to have a good time."

This was out of Lou Xuan's surprise, and Xiao Yunzhi completely ignored it, "That's fine, then may the imperial sister and the son-in-law have a good time."

Xiao Yuanzhi said: "Thank you, Brother Huang."

"Brother Yu will not bother the imperial sister and son-in-law, so I will take my leave first."

Xiao Yuanzhi nodded and said: "Brother Huang, go slowly."

As soon as Lou Xuan turned around, the smile on Xiao Yunzhi's face immediately collapsed, if not for her rationality, she would have picked up something and hit him.

Wei Zisu knew that Yunzhi Xiao was annoyed, and after Lou Xuan disappeared from their sight, she patted Yunzhi Xiao's hand, "Okay, don't be annoyed, handing over the person to Lou Xuan, I had to make preparations for this, or wait Let’s talk about it when Ye Shan comes back, maybe he will find something.”

Xiao Yuanzhi leaned her head on Wei Zisu's shoulder, "The wife thinks that I did something wrong by handing Li Xi to Lou Xuan?"

Wei Zisu's smile was pampering, "It's not right, let alone wrong, it's just a dangerous move, and no matter what, Li Xi will get the punishment he deserves."

Doesn't that mean you didn't say anything?

"Lou Xuan has already received the official bank, what should we do?"

The more Xiao Yuanzhi thought about it, the more wronged she became. Thanks to her praising her wit before, she leaned on Wei Zisu's shoulder, but she lightly moved towards her and hugged her, "My plan is all in vain."

Wei Zisu patted Xiao Yuanzhi's back, "Don't jump to conclusions until the last moment."

Wei Zisu's words still made Xiao Yuanzhi unhappy, but his face was rubbing against Wei Zisu's neck. Wei Zisu not only did not stop her, but even condoned her behavior.

At night, Ye Shan finally came back, and there was still a gray thing lying on his shoulder.

Xiao Yuanzhi took a closer look, isn't this the little soul-devouring beast who has been ignoring her?

Xiao Yuanzhi pointed to the little Soul Devourer and asked, "Is it gray?"

Ye Shan picked up the little Soul-devouring Beast, and patted its fur again, the air was filled with dust immediately, "It was dug out, just wash it and it will be fine."

"Dig holes?"

There was some surprise in his tone, but it was not Xiao Yunzhi who said this, but Wei Zisu.

Wei Zisu asked again: "Where did you go?"

Hearing this, the little soul-devouring beast that was originally carried by Ye Shan, like a dead dog, regained energy instantly, and it got rid of Ye Shan and jumped onto the table beside it.

Shaking the dust off his body again, he began to tell them what a great thing it had done, and it was so wonderful, not only that, but he even stood up and gestured to them.

It's a pity that except for Xiao Yunzhi, no one can understand, only the "meow" that keeps changing intonation.

Wei Zisu walked to the table, cleaned the teacups, and poured another cup for Little Soul Devourer and Ye Shan respectively.

Ye Shan hurriedly took the tea from Wei Zisu, not only flattered, but more afraid, he looked at Xiao Yunzhi, and saw that he was listening to the little soul-devouring beast seriously, so he was relieved a little.

"Tell me, what happened?"

Ye Shan took a sip of the tea in his cup, "We found the official bank that Li Xi transferred, not only that, but also the official bank that he corrupted before, sister-in-law, you don't know, those official bank, there are a big box and a big box. There are so many boxes, I used ten cars and pulled them nine times, and only half of them were pulled."

Wei Zisu pondered, "Continue."

"The boss gave me a task that day, so I followed Lou Xuan all the time, but when I got to the prison, Lou Xuan called all the guards out, not only that, but also locked the prisoners in the place farthest from Li Xi. I also have no way of finding out what Li Xi said, but fortunately the boss was clever and left the little Soul-devouring Beast lying on the window, not only can he hear everything, but Lou Xuan can't find it either."

Wei Zisu raised his eyes, then looked at Lou Xuan again, "That's not what I want to hear."

With just this one glance, Ye Shan shuddered, recalling the scene of Wei Zisu threatening him to tell what happened back then.

"I want to hear the key points."

"Yesterday, the little soul-devouring beast kept pulling me away, but I didn't want to go. The little soul-devouring beast kept meowing, and I couldn't understand it, so it drew a picture for me and asked me to help it find the baby , I didn't expect that its treasure happened to be Li Xi's official banker. After it brought me there, it started digging holes. I also brought my brother to help, but in order not to let Lou Xuan find out, I stayed for a while. At first, they wanted to bring the official silver back to the village, but the little soul-devouring beast brought them to a cave, and found that it was full of official silver embezzled by Li Xi."

Ye Shan finished all the story in one breath, and then handed over the painting drawn by the little Soul Devourer to Wei Zisu, "This is the painting it gave me."

Wei Zisu only glanced at it, then looked away, he didn't understand anything except the ghost painting talisman, luckily Ye Shan was able to guess it.

Over there, Xiao Yuanzhi also understood what had happened, and gave the little Soul-devouring Beast a thumbs up. As expected of her pet, it hid it so deeply.

Just because of her treasure hunting ability, she might become the richest man in the future.

Xiao Yuanzhi thought for a while, but felt that it was impossible. The richest man belonged to her daughter-in-law's family, and she would definitely belong to her daughter-in-law in the future. How could she steal the limelight from her daughter-in-law? Then she would be the second richest.

Wei Zisu said: "During the process of carrying it, did you show any traces?"

"That's not true. It's just that when we moved, there was still a box that couldn't fit. When we went back to pick it up, the guard Li rushed over, and we hid in the dark. After they moved the box of official silver and the box, We just came out."

Wei Zisu breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, this matter must not leak the slightest word."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, the brothers I'm looking for are all close friends with me, and they are reliable." Ye Shan said again: "Sister-in-law, boss, what do you plan to do with these official money? Are you sending it back to the capital?"

"It's not enough yet. There is too much movement of Yun Guanyin returning to the capital, and Lou Xuan is still in Songzhou. This will definitely arouse his suspicion. Everything has to be reported to the emperor after returning to the capital."

Ye Shan said: "Then what about those official banks?"

Wei Zisu looked at Xiao Yuanzhi, and saw that he was teasing the little Soul-devouring Beast again, "Since no one has found the place it is looking for, let's put it there. The more dangerous the place, the safer it will be."
