Chu Zhinan's face darkened. "Lord Wang! There is really no need for this duke to get involved in the investigation of the Jingzhao prefect. This duke gave you advice on the matter of the Pingning Marquis' Mansion entirely for my younger sister."
Wang Mingkui looked ashamed, bowed again, and said humbly: "Please calm down, Duke. It is really strange that the son of the Li family died.
The Li family was a family of scholars with few children. Mr. Li died at home in May of the previous year. There were no signs of struggle in the room, which ruled out the possibility of homicide.
Master Li will be getting married in a few months, marrying the daughter of a fifth-rank official.
Mr. Li was a juren, and was about to take part in the imperial examination. He had a great chance of winning the first prize and becoming the top scorer. It was impossible for such a person to commit suicide, but he died.
He died at home, just like he fell asleep any other day."
Chu Zhinan frowned: "Isn't that a sudden attack? What is Lord Wang worried about?"
"This is what I am most confused about. Before he died, Master Li bit his finger and wrote a large word 'injustice' in his blood. It was written on his white nightgown, which was shocking to see.
Mr. Li does not believe that his son was killed suddenly. They firmly believe that his son was murdered, but they have not been able to find any clues. As the prefect of Jingzhao, I also want to know how Mr. Li died. I hope the Duke can enlighten me. "
Chu Zhinan did not answer, but remained silent. He was waiting for his daughter's thoughts.
Naituanzi was completely focused on the goose crawling on the ground and didn't pay any attention to what Wang Mingkui said.
After picking her up and sitting in the room, Chu Zhinan deliberately asked, "Why did Master Li write a big word 'injustice' on his body? Wasn't his death a sudden stroke?"
[No! That Master Li was killed by his cousin using Gu, which is what Nanyun Country is best at.]
Chu Zhinan frowned slightly and pretended to be enlightened: "Could it be that he was bewitched?"
"insanity?"
Wang Mingkui was shocked. The emperor's virtuous concubine knew how to use Gu, so how come someone in the Li family also knew how to use it? Gu was not found in Dongsheng, but only in Nanyun. Why did the Li family know how to use it?
Or was it that Mr. Li was bewitched by someone when he was socializing with others? Who wanted to harm him?
[Aha! Daddy is so smart, he immediately figured out the key to the matter. That's right, the cousin of the Li family is a frequent visitor to Baihualou, and he wants to inherit the Li family, so the Honglian nanny at Baihualou gave him an immortal Gu.]
Chu Zhinan: “…”
So that's how it is. There is such a magical Gu in the world. Baihualou should not be underestimated. It is necessary to take this opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop.
[The poisonous insect will attack after staying in the body for a month. When it dies, it is like meeting an immortal while sleeping. There is nothing unusual. Li Xu, the cousin of the Li family, has been successfully adopted by Mr. Li and replaced Mr. Li. He works in Jingzhao Prefecture.]
Wang Mingkui thought for a long time, and bowed to Chu Zhinan again: "Duke! Master Li is a modest gentleman, rarely making enemies with others, and there are almost no people in the capital who are not on good terms with him."
Chu Zhinan looked at the Jingzhao prefect who was doing his best and sighed slightly: "Lord Wang! Is there a person named Li Xu around you?"
"Li Xu?" Wang Mingkui thought about it carefully, and finally remembered, "Yes, yes, there is a person named Li Xu. The Duke means..."
"Mr. Li is dead. Whoever benefits the most will be suspected."
"But...where did the blood come from?" Wang Mingkui asked in surprise.
"I heard that there is a Honglian Nanny in Baihua Tower. If Lord Wang can catch her, he can interrogate her to find out the truth."
"Thank you, Duke." Wang Mingkui clasped his fists and bowed to Chu Zhinan again. "The Li family is my cousin's family. Young Master Li died suddenly. My mother urged me many times, and I had no choice but to come and bother you. If the case can be solved, I will thank you very much."
Chu Zhinan waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me. Lord Wang, please come less often in the future. You should not come to visit me unless it is absolutely necessary."
"Yes, yes, the Duke is very busy, and I am sorry for being rude."
He said a lot of nice things for free and left with many thanks.
The little milk ball Chu Xiaoxiao slipped off Chu Zhinan, ran quickly to the big white goose, grabbed its neck and walked away.
She pinched Mr. Goose so hard that his eyes rolled back and he almost died.
Chu Zhinan looked at his simple and rude daughter, feeling both angry and amused. He ordered someone to find a rope, tie it around the goose's neck, and let her lead it.
Milk ball was so happy that he picked up the rope in his hand, threw it over his shoulder, and pulled it like a plow.
The big white goose clucked "quack quack" and followed behind Milk Ball, which made all the servants in the Fu Mansion happy.
Their little girl is so funny.
There is a chubby white kid in front and a quacking white goose behind. It looks interesting no matter how you look at it.
Liu Ming followed behind the man and the goose and couldn't stop laughing.
Chu Xiaoxiao didn't care at all. She was quite happy leading the goose. When she saw others laughing, she laughed too.
He chuckled, feeling very proud, as if he had done something great.
When the goose reached the lake, it saw its own "three palaces and six courtyards" and struggled to get over. However, a chubby little hand grabbed its neck and it dared not move for a moment.
The chubby little hands were so powerful that the big white goose was almost suffocated by it.
[From now on, you are my goose, Chu Xiaoxiao. You cannot stay with those geese. This fairy will purify you and turn you into a mount. ]
As he said this, he took out a handful of green grass from his Qiankun bag while Liu Ming was not paying attention and handed it to the big white goose.
The green grass was full of life, and it stunned the big white goose for a moment. There was nothing in its little eyes, except for the few pieces of grass in its chubby hands.
It smells so good, what kind of grass is this? I can't help smelling it, it must be very delicious when I eat it.
The other geese also smelled it and were about to rush over, but Chu Xiaoxiao glared at them, stomped her little feet hard, raised her chubby little hand, stretched out a little finger, and pointed at them one by one.
Every time he pointed at one, he would let out a loud "snort", and a strong sense of hostility would burst out, scaring the geese so much that they all crawled on the ground, trembling.
The geese were all confused, not understanding where such a strong pressure came from on a fat little kid.
For the sake of their own safety, they should not mess with this fat baby.
He threw the grass in his hand to the big white goose and gave a difficult command: "Qi, Qi, Qi."
The big white goose could no longer wait, so it opened its mouth, quacked, ate, and shook its head, looking comfortable and relaxed.
What kind of delicacy is this? It's so delicious. After eating it, all the fatigue in my body is gone, fat baby! From now on, I will hang out with you.
After eating the grass, the big white goose flapped its wings and sang loudly, perfectly interpreting what it means to "sing with its neck bent to the sky."
Liu Ming looked back at the crazy white goose and felt that it was not far from falling into the iron pot.
Why are you so excited? Are you afraid that the young lady won't remember to stew it?
The two goose legs are quite plump, which is what the young lady likes.
This is the end of showing off.
