The expert I worked so hard to find turned out to be a fool. Li Shui felt very shameless.
Li Xin patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay. Brother Huai, you're not a shameless person anyway. Just laugh and let it go."
Li Shui's mood became even worse.
Chunyu Yue said with a smile, "Master Huai, are you still looking for that non-existent master?"
Li Shui gritted his teeth and said, "Look, as long as Lord Chunyu allows me, I will interrogate everyone in the house."
Chunyu Yue chuckled and said, "If I don't agree, you will find excuses to come to my house to cause trouble. That's all. If you want to cross-examine, then do it."
So everyone was gathered in the courtyard, and Li Shui asked them one by one.
From the beginning, he was going in the wrong direction. He and Li Xin are looking for a man, a young man, a young and smart man. They never thought that it would be a woman who could cause such harm to the room.
In the end, of course, nothing was found. In the end, Li Shui was exhausted and waved his hand to let people disperse.
Chunyu Yue asked proudly, "How?"
Li Shui said calmly, "An expert is an expert. The dragon can see its head but not its tail. It is quite hidden. But it doesn't matter. Sooner or later, the fox's tail will be exposed."
Later, Li Shui stood in the middle of the yard and said loudly, "Huai has no intention of harming Mr. Huai. I just hope to meet Mr. and have a long talk. We will confirm each other's knowledge and create great achievements together."
No one paid any attention to him.
Li Shui sighed and muttered, "This expert is quite capable, but he is too timid."
The Qin soldiers found nothing in Chunyu Yue's mansion and had already left. After all, the emperor only gave them ten days to search other places.
But Li Xin and Li Shui did not leave. They stayed in Chunyu Yue's mansion, eating and drinking.
An hour later, Li Shui stood up and said, "I'm going to make it easier." Then, he walked outside.
Chunyu Yue winked at a servant, who followed him from a distance. He was relieved when he saw Li Shui actually entering the toilet.
As for Zhu'er, she was also a little excited. This guy is finally alone.
The public toilet that Li Shui went to was relatively simple. It was just a space surrounded by four walls. It had no ceiling and was completely open to the air. Behind the toilet is connected to the pig house, in which lies a fat pig.
In fact, this toilet is specially used by servants. Not for guests. Chun Yuyue was also a bit shabby, so he deliberately didn't tell Li Shui and let him come here.
Li Shui didn't care at all. After all, in the Qin Dynasty, what could he not encounter?
Zhu'er observed nearby, and then climbed up a big tree using his hands and feet. She sat on the tree trunk, covering her figure with leaves, and then looked down at Li Shui with her ngnu.
Just at this time, a strong wind blew, the tree crown swayed, and the figure of Zhuer was revealed. She quickly grabbed the branch next to her to steady herself.
Then I heard Li Shui shouting, "Come here, someone is talking. Come here, someone is talking."
Zhu'er turned around and saw that Li Shui was clearly pointing in his direction.
Zhu'er had no choice but to quickly jump off the tree and run away.
After a while, Li Shui came out of the toilet and said to Chunyu Yue, "You have a maid in your house. Climb up the tree and ask me."
Chunyu Yue was a little unhappy, "Sir Huai, all the servants in my house are well-educated and understand the etiquette, justice and shame. If you take a random person, I'm afraid they are more observant of etiquette than you. How could they talk about you? What's more, what do you have to see?" "
Li Shui wanted to argue. But Chunyu Yue said, "Master Huai has insulted me many times today. I'm sorry that I can't accompany you anymore."
Afterwards, Chunyu Yue flicked his sleeves and left.
Li Shui asked Li Xin, "Is your sister-in-law angry? I, the one being teased, are not angry. Why is he angry?"
Li Xin said, "That's how he is. His face is more important than his life. Brother Huai, did someone really peek at you just now?"
Li Shui said, "Is that still false? It's just that the distance was too far and I couldn't see her face clearly."
Li Xin said, "Forget it, you won't lose a piece of meat even if you look at it. Let's go on to drink. Chun Yuyue's wine tastes a bit strange, but once you get used to it, it's not bad."
Li Shuiyou sat down with deep thoughts, thinking in his mind, how to find that expert like this?
Chunyu Yue did not show up again.
In a hidden hut, Chunyu Yue was looking at Zhu'er opposite, "Are you Touku Huai Guzi?"
Zhu'er asked a little unconvinced, "Why did you think it was me?"
Chunyu Yue said, "None of the maids in my house can climb trees. Only you, girl, have some incredible abilities."
Zhu'er sneered, and then said, "I won't hide it from you. I don't want to tuku him, but I want to catch him."
Zhu'er shook the ngnu in his hand. "I suspect that Huaiguzi is the one who wants to kill me. I saw the ngnu in his hand. No one else can make such an exquisite crossbow."
Chunyu Yue was startled and said, "Absolutely not. If we kill him, His Majesty will be furious and will definitely investigate to the end."
Zhu'er frowned, "But if I let him go, he will definitely invite help. By then, it is possible for those people to attack Chunyu Mansion."
Chunyu Yue pressed his hand down and said, "Please be patient. Why do you think he is the one who wants to kill you?"
Zhu'er said, "Just rely on the ngnu in his hand."
Chunyu Yue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This ngnu is not his own. But a few days ago, a group of assassins wanted to kill him. As a result, the assassins were wiped out, and he got a few good crossbows. These ngnu belong to the assassins."
Zhu'er was stunned for a moment, and then said in confusion, "It's weird, haven't those assassins been chasing me? Why did they suddenly go to kill Huaiguzi?"
Chunyu Yue said, "Huai Guzi is shameless, arrogant and domineering. There are too many people who want to kill him."
Zhu'er nodded, "That's it."
Then, she asked in confusion, "But he was shouting in the house just now, looking for some master, and even entered my study. Wasn't he looking for me?"
Chunyu Yue didn't want to tell Zhu'er that Li Shui was the genius who made convex lenses. He coughed and said, "This Huaiguzi, I heard that someone in my house can make fairy wine. I want to kidnap this person back and make fairy wine for profit."
Zhu'er said, "That's it. Now he already knows that I am in your house. Otherwise... I go out overnight and change places?"
Chunyu Yue said, "No, this person is extremely treacherous. At this time, I'm afraid he has secretly sent someone to keep an eye on me. If you go out at this time, he can determine who is the master in my house."
Zhu'er hummed, and suddenly his heart moved, and he said, "Perhaps, we can send an irrelevant old slave and let him sneak out. This will disturb Huaiguzi's sight."
Chunyu Yue's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "This is a great plan. Why not send Gou Sheng out? Huaiguzi must have become suspicious, thinking that Gou Sheng was pretending to be crazy. After he tried his best to steal Gou Sheng into his house, the result was that I found out that he is really crazy. When that happens, it will be wonderful, hehe..."
Zhu'er couldn't help but laugh.
On the other side, Li Xin and Li Shui had drunk enough wine and left Chunyu Yue's mansion arm in arm.
After leaving, Li Shui immediately asked Cang Fu to take several craftsmen to keep an eye on Chunyu Yue's mansion. You must find out who goes out and where they go every day.
Cang Fu agreed and led his men to keep an eye on Chunyu Yue's house.
Li Shui and Li Xin wanted to go home. Suddenly a servant ran over and said respectfully, "My lords, I have been looking for you for a long time. I am the housekeeper of Lord Zhao Teng's house. Your Lordship has asked me to invite you two to come and talk to me."
This place was not far from Zhao Teng's residence, so Li Shui nodded.
On the way, Li Shui asked the servant, "My lord, the emissary, is looking for me. What's the matter?"
The housekeeper sighed and said, "My lord, you have been very busy recently. According to your imagination, it should not be difficult to catch the assassin. Who knows that several days have passed, but there is no clue."
"The corpses of the assassins in Shangjun Courtyard are almost stinking, but they still cannot be identified."
"The ngnu used by the assassins is extremely exquisite, but after checking all the craftsmen nearby, they all said they had never seen it before."
"What's even more bizarre is that after Tian Quan heard the news a few days ago, he kept barking and rushed out to find someone. He seemed to have a clue. But in the past few days, he seemed to have lost his direction and was just circling around the Neishi Mansion. , unwilling to go out and search.”
Li Shui chuckled and said, "Actually, I already know who the mastermind is behind the scenes, but I'm just afraid that the emissary won't believe it."
While he was talking, Zhao Teng's mansion had arrived.
Zhao Teng heard that Li Shui was coming and rushed out to welcome him.
After a few people sat down, Zhao Teng explained his troubles, which was not much different from what the housekeeper said.
Zhao Teng smiled bitterly and said, "Now that my prestige has been established, who in Xianyang City doesn't know that Zhao Teng is so courageous and capable. Who doesn't feel jealous when my name is mentioned? But within the ten-day period , There is not much left. If the murderer cannot be found by then, I, Zhao Teng, will be completely defeated. Once His Majesty is disappointed, today's majesty will become a reminder in the future."
"Master Huai, Zhao Teng offended half of the people in Xianyang today, all because he wanted to find the murderer for Brother Huai. If Brother Huai has any idea, please give me some advice."
Li Shui smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao, actually, I have always wanted to make friends with you."
Zhao Teng's face turned green and he thought to himself, "Is this taking advantage of the situation?"
He coughed dryly and said vaguely, "It's not impossible to make friends. It's just that I'm so worried now that I really have no other thoughts. If I can catch the real culprit and deal with His Majesty, I can consider other things. consider."
Li Shui was overjoyed and said, "Okay, then I will catch the murderer for Brother Zhao. Then we will become best friends."
Zhao Teng laughed dryly and said nothing, thinking, "Have I promised you? No, I just said to think about it. You may make a mistake yourself, but don't blame me."
Li Shui stepped forward and said mysteriously, "Actually, Ma Lingshu had already recruited him before he was alive. The man behind him was Zhao Gao. As long as you start with Zhao Gao and investigate, it will not be difficult to find out the truth." fierce."
Zhao Teng was stunned for a moment, then slowly shook his head, "Zhao Gao is an important minister in the court. Without evidence, it will be difficult to handle. We still need to find the murderer that day first."
Li Shui frowned and asked, "You have searched Xianyang City and still haven't found the murderer that day?"
Zhao Teng shook his head, sighed and said, "It's really strange. Did this person escape to the palace?"
At this time, Shixin was carrying two buckets of water and passed by the hall with a nonchalant expression.
In the past few days, he was punished by the housekeeper to do hard labor. He worked so hard every day that he almost shed a layer of his skin.
Chopping wood, fetching water, cleaning... a series of tasks that gave the dying heart no time to breathe.
He wanted to bite his tongue and kill himself, but he felt that dying like this was worthless. It would be better to find an opportunity to sneak out, commit suicide in front of Zhao Teng's house, and become famous all over the world.
So he just dragged it day by day and stayed.
After a long time, Shixin discovered that the safest place in Xianyang City was Zhao Teng's mansion. Zhao Teng searched it here and there, but he would not search it here.
After seeing a glimmer of hope, I suddenly no longer wanted to die. So he worked harder.
His hard work and hard work impressed the housekeeper a little bit. Today the housekeeper asked him if he would like to stay and officially become a servant in the mansion.
I was a little hesitant, but finally nodded in agreement.
Zhao Teng was worried, and when he saw the dead heart passing by outside, he stopped him.
Shi Xin was a little nervous, thinking that Zhao Teng had discovered his identity. But after thinking about it, he felt it was impossible, so he pretended to be calm, put down the bucket, walked to the house and bowed.
Zhao Teng ordered, "Take the family dog and walk around the palace to see if it reacts. Be careful not to be too ostentatious and cause dissatisfaction in the palace."
Diexin breathed a sigh of relief and hurried out.
Li Shui smiled and said, "The emissary only sends one servant to do this?"
Zhao Teng smiled slightly and said, "The servants in my palace are all carefully selected, and they are all loyal and reliable. What's more, I don't want him to catch the assassin, I just want to see if Tian Quan reacts when he walks near the palace. If there is no response, everything will be abandoned. If there is a response, I will inform Your Majesty again and pay attention to the movements in the palace."
Just as he said this, there was a sudden noise outside.
Zhao Teng asked unhappily, "What are you doing outside?"
Immediately afterwards, the housekeeper ran in panting and said, "Master, the field dog has bitten someone. It bit a new servant and refused to let go. The villain is really at his wits' end."
