Inside the inn.
Li Chengqian sat on the chair, rubbing his forehead, with a puzzled expression on his face.
King Yan.
How could it be him.
Li Chengqian couldn't figure it out, and even couldn't believe it.
In his mind, Li You has always done his duty.
He doesn't do anything illegal, let alone bully others, and he smiles at everyone.
But such a person actually did such things behind his back.
Is it because of lack of money?
But he lives in the capital, and the imperial court controls his food and drink expenses.
How could we possibly be so short of money that we need to take desperate risks?
For a moment.
Li Chengqian's thoughts were confused and he couldn't figure it out.
"What are you thinking about?"
Just when Li Chengqian was wandering in Taixu, a voice suddenly sounded from beside him.
Li Chengqian was startled and stood up instinctively.
Only then did he see that Yuan Yuan had arrived beside him at some point.
Li Chengqian took a long breath: "How come you don't make any sound when you walk..."
Yuan Yuan lowered his head and glanced at his feet.
People who have practiced Qing Gong are basically like this. They walk quietly and make no sound at all.
However, Li Chengqian didn't notice her, and it had nothing to do with Yuan Yuan walking lightly.
It's just that he didn't notice it.
But Yuan Yuan didn't bother to argue with him, and just said: "You are the same."
Speaking of which, Li Chengqian's Qinggong is not bad, after all, he is blessed with Tieguai Li's skill package.
Li Chengqian sighed softly: "What's wrong? Are you hungry?"
"No."
"I've been staying upstairs for a long time and wanted to come down and get some fresh air."
Yuan Yuan glanced at the letters spread out on the desk. When his eyes fell on one of them, his eyes obviously changed slightly.
She reached out and picked up the letter, and after scanning it up and down, a faint smile suddenly appeared on her face.
"It turns out that you went to Qinzhou with all the trouble just to investigate this person."
Li Chengqian was a little confused and looked at Yuan Yuan suspiciously.
"I have read this letter."
Yuan Yuan threw the letter on the table.
"you saw it?"
Li Chengqian was a little surprised: "Where?"
"It should be the Duke Yun's Mansion."
Yuan Yuan said with an indifferent expression: "When that damn fat man died, this letter was on the table."
When the fat man dies?
Who is the damn fat man?
Li Chengqian's heart suddenly moved when he heard this.
Duke Yun's Mansion, damn fat man...
Li Chengqian stood up involuntarily, looked straight at Yuan Yuan and asked, "When did it happen?"
"Three years ago, five years ago, I can't remember clearly."
"Anyway, I saw the letter at that time."
“The content above made me find it interesting, so I’ve remembered it until now.”
"I just didn't expect that this letter would appear here now."
Yuan Yuan curled up his lips and said, "And if you are investigating him, it means that the fat man died unjustly."
As soon as this statement came out.
A case about five years ago appeared in Li Chengqian's mind.
The Duke of Yun's mansion encountered an assassin, and the old servant Humerus in the mansion was assassinated and killed.
At that time, Changsun Wuji was personally responsible for this case.
However, in the end, due to insufficient evidence and the inability to trace the murderer, the case was dropped.
Li Chengqian only listened to Changsun Chong complain a few words, but didn't take it to heart at the time.
Unexpectedly, this was Yuan Yuan’s masterpiece...
Li Chengqian pondered for a moment and said, "Who hired you to kill someone?"
Yuan Yuan snorted softly: "You can kill if you want. Do you still need someone to hire someone?"
This is not true.
Li Chengqian understood Yuan Yuan.
He knew that although Yuan Yuan acted with some recklessness.
But this girl doesn't kill people randomly.
Li Chengqian squinted his eyes and suddenly thought of something.
So, Li Chengqian asked tentatively: "Could it be related to your mother?"
Yuan Yuan's expression tightened, and she turned to glare at Li Chengqian, scolding in a cold voice: "No! And please stop asking about my affairs!"
Her reaction further confirmed Li Chengqian's guess.
As far as he knows.
The cause of Yuan Yuan's mother's death was that she was accidentally beaten to death by a servant in Duke Yun's mansion for stealing steamed buns.
But is it really that simple?
Zhang Liang's servants were a bit arrogant and domineering.
But how could the Duke's Mansion, which is a great cause for everyone, kill people just because of a steamed bun?
For a moment.
Li Chengqian felt like he had caught something.
"What I'm investigating now."
"It is very likely related to the truth about your mother's death that year."
Li Chengqian sat down slowly: "Maybe, I can help your mother get justice and make the person who hurt your mother pay the due price."
"No."
"He is dead."
Yuan Yuan curled her lips and said, "I made him die miserably."
"But have you ever thought that you killed the wrong person?"
"He is not the mastermind behind the scenes, he is also doing things for others."
Li Chengqian looked straight at Yuan Yuan and said, "And you just killed him, but let the mastermind behind the scenes go free. This revenge is meaningless."
Yuan Yuan's beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed.
She looked at Li Chengqian and said, "What? You mean, my mother was killed by Zhang Liang?"
"Even if it's not."
"It's also someone related to him."
Li Chengqian crossed the letter paper in front of him with his finger: "Based on the clues I have now, I can be 100% sure."
"Zhang Liang must have planned something with someone, or some people, a long time ago."
"It's very possible that your mother heard some things she shouldn't have heard at that time, so she was silenced."
Yuan Yuan suddenly clenched his fists, and then slowly released them.
She laughed at herself and said, "Is there any point in saying this now?"
"My mother is dead."
"She's never coming back."
"She won't open her mouth to tell you the truth."
Yuan Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "So, everything is too late."
"It's not too late."
"At least we're still alive."
Li Chengqian stood up and held Yuan Yuan's shoulders and said, "I just need you to tell me the news you found out at that time."
"Who killed your mother, what was he doing in the Duke's Mansion, and where did he go before he died."
Yuan Yuan is a killer.
Li Chengqian didn't believe that she would not investigate the information before taking action.
Yuan Yuan paused and said, "I only remember that he went to the residence of Yushi Zhongcheng at that time."
"Censor Zhongcheng, Yin Hongzhi?"
Li Chengqian frowned.
Just now, Zhao Dongsheng also said that all this was planned by Yin Hongzhi.
But why would he do this?
Although the Yin family is weak and has a small population.
But it was very prosperous in Yin Hongzhi's generation.
Especially after the Three Hopes and Five Surnames were eradicated by Li Chengqian.
The Wuwei Yin family has become even more famous. Even if you look around the capital, they are all well-known wealthy families.
The head of the family, Yin Hongzhi, is very popular, and his sister Yin is even more favored by Li Shimin.
Over the years, Yin Hongzhi worked diligently and surrounded Li Shimin, and Li Shimin also trusted him very much.
It can be said.
His influence in the court was second only to Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng.
And these things in front of me.
Once the incident comes to light, it will be a capital crime.
The honor and favor gained by the Yin family will be wiped out in an instant.
Yin Hongzhi is a smart man, he will not know this.
But why did he do this even though he knew this?
"No, no, none of it is right..."
"He doesn't need to take risks for money, and he's not short of money."
Speaking of this, Li Chengqian suddenly paused.
"No, he wants more than just money..."
Li Chengqian looked up at Yuan Yuan and said in a daze: "He wants the lives of all the Li family members..."
