Chapter 163 Counting
The face of the little soul-devouring beast was pinched and pulled by Xiao Yuanzhi, "How did you come here, say, did you use your ability to spy on my mind?"
"Meow-"
Even though its skin is thick and Yun Gee's pinching strength is not heavy, it still pretends to be in pain.
It has always been able to sense Xiao Yunzhi, and since Xiao Yuanzhi stepped into Songzhou, its feeling became even stronger, so it ran out from the villa that day, but unfortunately encountered many things on the way, and because of being playful for a while, it ran away. delayed.
Xiao Yunzhi obviously didn't believe it, "Is there really no one?"
The little soul-devouring beast nodded, and looked at her with big teary eyes, "Meow——"
Xiao Yuanzhi has long been immune to the little soul-devouring beast, no matter how cute or miserable it is, it has no effect on her.
Fortunately, Xiao Yuanzhi just wanted to tease it, she rubbed the little soul-devouring beast's head, but she got ashes in her hands, "What's the matter with you, you made your fur so dirty, didn't you take a bath?"
"Meow-"
The little soul-devouring beast protested, they are the most clean among the soul-devouring beast family, they have to lick their hair several times a day, Xiao Yunzhi can say that it is playful, but it must not insult its character as a soul-devouring beast.
Xiao Yuanzhi smiled and said, "I want to bring you a mirror so that you can see how messy the back of your head is."
"Meow-"
"Really or not? Treasure hunting? What can you find?" Yunzhi Xiao patted the ashes on his hands, and continued to joke: "Is it a bone with meat, or a fish?"
"Meow!!!"
The little soul-devouring beast let out a roar. It found many treasures in the world. As far as it knows, those white things can be exchanged for a lot of food.
Ye Shan was taken aback by this person's pampering. He could probably guess what it was talking about after listening to Xiao Yuanzhi's words, but the boss was able to communicate with a...can't tell what kind of animal it is, which is too amazing Bar!
The little Soul-devouring Beast was about to reveal the treasure it found, but a person walked in and said, "Boss, someone really went to the prison to look for Li Xi just now."
Xiao Yuanzhi sat up straight, "Who is it?"
"This... At that time, those two people smoked cigarettes. Fortunately, I started to block my nose with something. I remember that one of the men was full of luxury, and he was still very handsome. The other man followed Behind him, with a sword in his hand, it should be his subordinate, I also heard..."
Ye Shan said: "What have you heard?"
He tried hard to remember, and said again: "It seems... It seems that the man called him master."
With a touch of nobility, you still call him master, could it be...
Xiao Yunzhi already had a guess in his heart, but he couldn't confirm it yet, "Have you seen their appearance clearly?"
He nodded, "I can see them clearly, but I don't know them."
This is easy, Xiao Yuanzhi ordered someone to go to the study to get a pen and paper, and asked him to draw the faces of those two people.
After waiting for a while, Xiao Yunzhi picked up his painting, took a deep breath while resting his forehead, and made a mistake. She did not expect that she met a soul painter, and the paintings she drew with her feet were more recognizable than this one, just two stick figures , and has long hair, who can recognize it?
Especially when the other party still confidently said that they look like this.
Xiao Yuanzhi suppressed the urge to beat this guy up, and smiled again, "Okay, thank you for your painting, I will definitely recognize it."
"Boss, you are polite, this is all as it should be."
If you can't draw, then you must be right to recognize people, Xiao Yuanzhi whispered a few words to Ye Shan, and then Ye Shan took the soul painter out.
When he came back, the soul painter had changed into the clothes of the guards just like Ye Shan.
In Xiao Yunzhi's mind, Lou Xuan's grandson was not a good person at first glance, and Lou Xuan's actions further confirmed her thoughts, so when she began to doubt Lou Xuan, she basically condemned him in her heart.
Lou Xuan was playing chess with Li Shiwei in the courtyard, but he saw Xiao Yunzhi walking towards him, followed by two people, one of them he had seen before, that is the bandit leader Ye Shan.
Lou Xuan held a sunspot in his hand, and his eyes fell on the chessboard again, "Why is the imperial sister so interested in coming to Brother Yu today?"
After guard Li saluted Xiao Yuanzhi, he stood aside.
"Brother Huang, do you mean that you are not welcome?"
Lou Xuan put Heizi down, and said with a smile: "How dare you, brother Yu, I really want to see the imperial sister. The imperial sister has been working on the case for the past few days. If she is exhausted, she will go back to the capital and be seen by her father. Brother Yu will be blamed."
Xiao Yunzhi sat down opposite Lou Xuan, "I also feel tired, but there are some things that I still can't do to others. A little carelessness will capsize the boat. Isn't Li Xi the best example."
Lou Xuan had to think about this ambiguous words, whether it was talking about him, or Xiao Yuanzhi discovered something, "The imperial sister is dedicated to the common people, she is really a model of civil and military officials."
"Brother Huang praised me too much. I was just doing what I should do, seeking a job in his position. I can't just do nothing with my salary."
Lou Xuan understood the meaning of the words, and said with a smile: "Is the imperial sister complaining that Brother Yu doesn't care about anything?"
"Brother Huang, I didn't say that."
"Then what does the imperial sister want Brother Yu to do?"
"Since Brother Huang wants to help me, I can't waste Brother Huang's thought, how about Brother Huang beheaded for me?" Xiao Yunzhi squinted and smiled, with an innocent look on his face, without any bad intentions, "Brother Huang, you also You know, I'm afraid of seeing bloody scenes."
Lou Xuan was a little confused by Xiao Yunzhi, although he had doubts, he still said: "Since it was entrusted by the imperial sister, brother Yu must naturally agree."
Xiao Yuanzhi seemed to have solved a big problem, and his tone became much more cheerful, "Then thank you, Brother Huang!"
Xiao Yuanzhi got up and prepared to leave, but after thinking about it, he said to him: "By the way, Brother Huang, how do you think I handled Li Xi's case?"
"In terms of law and emotion, the imperial sister handled it very fairly. Li Xi did something out of conscience and lied to His Majesty. He deserved this fate."
Xiao Yunzhi nodded, and glanced at Lou Xuan again, seeing that there was nothing unusual about it, "It's just that the official bank he embezzled was still nothing, and he refused to say that this damned bastard is about to die, and he still wants to smash the official bank In hand."
Xiao Yuanzhi became more and more annoyed as he talked, Lou Xuan couldn't guess what she wanted to do at first, but now he understood, he just thought Xiao Yuanzhi was really stupid, did he think he would be fooled?
He just watched Xiao Yunzhi continue to act, anyway, he couldn't perform well.
Xiao Yuanzhi sighed again, "It's a pity, I didn't ask the arrester earlier, otherwise why would I have a headache about this matter."
"Brother Yu believes in the emperor's younger sister. The emperor's younger sister is smart and smart. She can pry Li Xi's mouth open just by thinking about it carefully. Besides, she has a son-in-law by her side. Presumably, she can also give advice to the emperor's younger sister."
Xiaohong's anxious voice suddenly came, "Your Highness, Your Highness, something is wrong with Your Highness! Your Highness!"
Xiaohong finally found Xiao Yuanzhi and ran towards her again.
Seeing that he was out of breath from running, Xiao Yuanzhi asked in puzzlement, "Why are you in such a panic, what's the matter?"
Xiao Hong panted heavily, "Your Highness, no...it's not good, my son-in-law... she's gone."
Xiao Yunzhi's heart was lifted instantly, and he said nervously: "What?"
Xiaohong repeated again, "My son-in-law is gone."
"Where have you been?"
"I don't know, she just left with a bundle, and I can't even stop her."
Xiao Yuanzhi frowned tightly, with anxious expression on his face, "I must have gone too far this morning, said some harsh words, and hurt her, so she left."
Lou Xuan looked like he was watching a play, with Xiao Yuanzhi's arrogant temperament, it's no wonder the son-in-law didn't run away.
Xiao Hong timidly said: "Then, is Your Highness going to chase after him? Or let the son-in-law go, the son-in-law is not familiar with the place here, in case he gets lost, or..."
Lou Xuan only thought it was ridiculous, she was not a son-in-law, and she was not a woman, yet she made them so nervous. Seeing her as a royal sister, she was arrogant and arrogant, but the son-in-law held her tightly.
Xiao Yunzhi hesitated, "But the matter of the official bank..."
"Your Highness, you should make a decision quickly. If it's too late, I'm afraid the son-in-law will go far away, and it will be difficult to chase after then."
Xiaohong's urging made Xiao Yunzhi's face very ugly, she hesitated again and again, and finally said: "Brother Huang, I will leave the execution to you. If you are free, you can help me investigate the matter of the official bank. I will go after the son-in-law first, and try to come back sooner."
Lou Xuan pretended to be very understanding, "Brother Yu understands, let's go."
Xiao Yuanzhi cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Brother Huang."
After Xiao Yuanzhi and others left, Li Shiwei said: "Master, there is no fraud in this, right?"
Lou Xuan brushed Qingsi beside his ear, "So what if it's a fraud? Li Xi still fell into our hands, not to mention he is going to die soon, there is no need for me to get rid of him."
Lou Xuan picked up a sunspot and landed it on an empty space. The situation on the chessboard was evenly matched, but he managed to win with one move. Guard Li cupped his hands and said, "Master's chess skills are superb, and this subordinate lost again."
"Just in case, you send someone to find out if the son-in-law has really left, and then send someone to follow Feiluan."
"Yes, master, this subordinate will do it now."
After returning to the house, Xiao Yuanzhi asked the soul painter, "Did you see clearly? Are those two people?"
The soul painter nodded sharply, "That's them!"
Ye Shan said: "Since the fifth prince and his guards want Li Xi to embezzle the official money, boss, what are you going to do?"
"Isn't this already done?"
Ye Shan suddenly realized that it was all Xiao Yuanzhi's tricks at that time.
Xiao Yunzhi took the tea from Xiaohong, "With the witness alone, there is no way to take Lou Xuan, and it can only prove that Lou Xuan went to Li Xi, nothing else can be proved, even if I take him down now , he can still argue that he cared about the case and wanted to share His Majesty's worries, so I sent Li Xi to his hands."
Ye Shandao: "In this way, Lou Xuan will try his best to make Li Xi open his mouth. Once he knows where the official money is hidden, he will secretly send someone to look for it, and we only need to keep an eye on him and Li Shiwei. When they find official bankers, they can be arrested in one fell swoop, even if they have ten mouths, they will not be able to deny it."
Xiao Yuanzhi took a sip of tea, "Smart."
"Then Xiaohong told you that sister-in-law left in anger, did she really leave in anger?"
Ye Shan was a little worried. He told the truth at the beginning, but he didn't see that his sister-in-law was angry.
"How is it possible? She went to visit Li's residence at night, and then went to Huaibei."
Ye Shan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "I see."
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yuanzhi saw that something was wrong, "Xiao Shan, you don't have something to hide from me, do you?"
Ye Shan hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, no, how dare I hide it from you, Boss."
"It's fine if you don't dare."
