"Oh, Kou just moved out of my father's house to threaten you, what can he do to me?"
Kou Yangtian asked with a sneer.
Based on the Queen's status as a popular figure, marrying a daughter of the Liu family to him was considered a high achievement.
Even though the Minister of Justice was just a scoundrel in the market before.
This is particularly unusual in the Northern Sui Dynasty where family tradition was valued.
Shen Li asked sarcastically: "Is it possible that the son of the Minister of Justice openly broke the law, and the laws of the Northern Sui Dynasty have to be exempted?"
Heartbreaking words!
Taigong Liu squinted to see what Kou Yangtian would answer.
Ma Si took a step forward: "Shen Shixiu! You are looking for death!!"
"Ha, I'm scared to death. Mr. Kou wants to kill people and silence them?"
"There is no such thing as killing and silencing. In my Liu family, there is no such thing as killing and silencing. Only by killing all seventy-three members of the Liu family can it be considered killing and silencing."
Taigong Liu said tepidly.
"Brother Ma, calm down. Shen Shixiu is tricking us into taking action. Once we take action, it will be confirmed that we are the ones who killed someone!"
Kou Yangtian took a deep breath, trying to calm down the anger that was about to overflow.
Ma Si was so angry that he was trembling all over. Since he had been in the world, he had never experienced such an unreasonable disaster that made people want to crush him to pieces.
It's really annoying!
Liu Yan was obviously not killed by them, but they alerted Zhizhou and came to ask, why was Shen Shixiu still chasing them and biting him like a mad dog?
Ma Si was puzzled.
Kou Yangtian suddenly smiled.
Taigong Liu's granddaughter has just died, and no one in the house dares to show a smile.
But he just laughed in front of Taigong Liu.
The smile became stronger and stronger, more and more unrestrained.
I laughed so hard that I cried tears of laughter.
"I understand, I understand. Shen Shixiu, you are not here for Liu Yanzhi's death, your target is me!"
"Someone in Julu City wants to deal with my father through me! Is that true? My father has indeed offended many aristocratic families, but trying to implicate my father with this matter is simply wishful thinking! You will not succeed."
After laughing, Kou Yangtian shouted loudly.
Liu Taigong and others looked at Shen Li.
"Master Shen, Master Kou is telling the truth?"
Shen Li sneered: "Mr. Liu, let me tell you the truth. I am from Southern Wu. My family background has been reported to the government. You can send someone to the government to inquire."
Taigong Liu turned to the housekeeper and said, "You go."
"Yes, old man."
The young man continued to ask Kou Yangtian: "The Minister of Punishment is nicknamed the Iron-faced Man. No matter how iron-faced he is, it is still for people from the Northern Sui Dynasty. What do you want to do to me, a southerner?"
"Simple, someone has promised you a temptation that you can't refuse. You are from the south, so you have no scruples about this matter!"
Kou Yangtian used a backhand move to divert the disaster to the east.
Shen Li sighed: "You are planning to refuse to admit it."
"Ha, what do you mean by refusing to admit it? I didn't do it, so why should I admit it?"
Ma Si followed and said: "Tai Gong Liu, I am the conscience of heaven and earth! Although I, Ma Si, am not a good person in the world, I never kill women, children, old and young! Miss Liu, it was really not me who killed her, and it was also not the young master who killed her!"
Kou Yangtian said directly: "I am indeed dissatisfied with this marriage. I am dissatisfied, and I have never thought of killing people. If I say something false, there will be five thunders from heaven, and there will be no intact body."
Taigong Liu stood there and thought for a long time, and finally said to Shen Li: "Mr. Shen, let's end today's matter. Go and look elsewhere to see if there are any clues."
Failed?
Shen Li nodded: "Okay."
Then, he turned around and left.
It seems that what I said just now really corresponds to the four words of frame-up and framing.
However, there was no failure, there was success.
He planted a seed of doubt in the hearts of the Liu family about Kou Yangtian.
The real murderer will not be found for a day.
He became more and more suspicious that Kou Yangtian did it.
Just walked a few steps.
"correct."
Shen Li didn't look back, "I heard that there is a young Taoist priest beside Mr. Kou. Where is that person?"
Kou Yangtian immediately shouted: "How did you know there was a young Taoist priest beside me?!"
Hear this.
Taigong Liu and other Liu family members stopped in their tracks.
They turned around and stared at him.
Kou Yangtian secretly thought something bad and hurriedly explained: "He traveled around the world to experience the world of mortals. It happened that he hit it off with me and came to Julu City with him. Perhaps, he is hanging out in the city now... I don't know what he is doing specifically."
Shen Li laughed heartily.
Just a return shot.
With such a straight hook, Kou Yangtian actually bit it.
The Liu family was already suspicious, but now it's better. With an understatement, the suspicion deepened.
Taigong Liu whispered: "Let's go."
Immediately, the group of people left the courtyard again.
Shen Li deliberately walked at the end of the crowd, "Master Kou, take care of yourself."
"Shen Shixiu, I think you should take care of yourself." Ma Si scolded, "Be careful if you do too many bad things, you will be punished."
"Is it possible that the Iron Masked Man is not afraid of retribution?"
Another few words that were ordinary made Ma Si speechless.
Kou Yangtian was so angry that his face turned as red as a monkey's butt.
Came to Liu Taigong's side.
"Xiao Langjun, what do you think?"
"If I go back to the old lady, I think I'm about 70% sure."
"Is it 70%?"
"It's an extremely simple thing. If there really is a real murderer, why are there no clues so far?"
"There are still clues. The real murderer is a woman."
"Have you ever heard, old lady, that there is a bone-shrinking method in the world? By using this method, a man can disguise himself as a woman..."
That’s it for now, no need to say more.
Taigong Liu frowned and sighed.
"I understand. Is the old lady afraid of the iron-faced man?"
The old man waved back and whispered: "After all, he is your majesty's most popular man. Although my son... has some achievements, he is far behind the man with the iron face. He once mentioned in a letter that today's great The prime ministers in the Sui Dynasty's political hall are all old, and if someone quits, the Iron Man can come in!"
The implication is, how dare the Liu family offend a future prime minister to death?
What it means to be the ruler of a country will be clear when you look at the battle at Kaixi City in Nanwu.
Although there were elements of the Eight Heavenly Dragons, it was through this incident that Zhao Ruyu pulled Sun Yuanji and others down, and he himself took over.
Become a prime minister and decide whether someone lives or dies with just one word.
What's more, you can also participate in major events related to the direction of the world.
The world has been in conflict for three hundred years, and the situation is about to change. Who doesn't want to be famous in the north, south, east, and west, and have a name that goes down in history?
"You mean you already suspected him?"
"Xiao Langjun, you are a very smart person. There are some things you don't need to say." Liu Taigong said distressedly.
Shen Li immediately patted his chest and said, "I just want to ask the old lady, do you want to avenge your granddaughter?"
"Why don't you want to?! The pain of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person is going to torture me crazy."
"Junior has a plan."
"tell me the story."
"Since Miss Liu's death is unclear, Mr. Kou can also die in an unknown manner."
Taigong Liu shook his head and said: "It can't be done. The Ma Si next to him is a martial artist at the peak of the Vajra Realm. This level is enough to dominate the world, let alone the small Liu family like me?"
"Then let Ma Si die inexplicably first."
Shen Li was categorical.
"Ah? Is there anything Xiaolangjun can do?"
When Taigong Liu heard that there was something going on, he braced himself and asked.
He is old and has his feet in the coffin immediately, but his beloved granddaughter is dead. Why doesn't he want to kill his enemy?
"The simplest strategy in the world is to go straight in." Shen Li said softly, "I will kill Ma Si."
"Xiao Langjun, I will say it again, he..."
"So what about peak Vajra-level warriors? Juniors can still kill them! All they need is the old lady poisoning their meals."
"Poison...poison...how sure are you?"
"If they're poisoned, ten points."
Taigong Liu's eyes suddenly lit up: "I can't die in the Liu Mansion."
"The old lady will tell you where to go."
"Flavor House, the chef there, I have a life-saving grace for him."
"Okay, it's at the Flavor Building."
Taigong Liu asked strangely: "Why is the young man willing to sacrifice his life to help?"
Shen Li said naturally: "Everyone in the world wants something, and the younger generation is no exception. I heard that the Liu family is extremely wealthy... Of course, the old lady doesn't have to worry about the iron-faced man pursuing you. He can pretend to be a killer sent by the powerful officials." .”
"After the matter is completed, I will give you three hundred taels of gold! And have someone send you out of Julu City!"
The young man said: "One tael of gold is equivalent to ten taels of silver. Three thousand taels of silver. This deal is quite cost-effective. I am from Nanwu. With the silver, I can speed up the journey before the news reaches Luo Jing." Return to Nanwu."
"Xiao Langjun's horses must be good horses. There are two BMWs from the Western Regions in the city. According to my opinion, it will take less than three days to cross the border and return to Nanwu."
"Tomorrow at noon, how about I invite Mr. Kou to the Fengxianglou for dinner?"
"Can."
"This junior doesn't like soup."
"I understand."
The poison is in the soup.
It’s better to explain these things clearly in advance to avoid getting poisoned yourself.
"I almost forgot that masters at the peak of the Vajra Realm are physically strong and need stronger poisons."
"Don't worry, young man. I have some strong medicine in my house."
"That's good, please ask the old lady to prepare the 'transportation' for this junior."
Shen Li was just going to go to other courtyards to show off when Liu Taigong suddenly said: "Is Shen Shixiu your real name?"
"The junior's surname is indeed Shen, and his name is indeed Shixiu."
"Have you ever heard of Kou Xiaowan?"
"No, who is this woman?"
"Oh, I'm too worried. The young man can move around the house as he pleases."
"As commanded."
Does the old man know the story of Kou Xiaowan and Shen Shixiu?
Shen Li thought about it, this story is quite vulgar, and the storytellers in Kaixicheng are almost tired of telling it. It is only Sister Song's appearance that makes her look like a woman, so it is widely circulated in the north and south of the country.
When the housekeeper saw him leaving, he trotted to Taigong Liu.
"Master, why do I always feel like something is wrong?"
Taigong Liu walked forward tremblingly: "Maybe what Kou Yangtian said is true, and Shen Shixiu was really sent by Kou Huai's enemies."
"Ah? Doesn't it mean that the death of the young lady has nothing to do with Mr. Kou?"
"Who said it doesn't matter?!"
"Master Zhizhou said that!"
"Zhizhou! Zhizhou! You guys know nothing. Let me ask you, who is more powerful, Zhizhou or Zaizhi?"
"The chief minister is great."
"Since the prime minister is so powerful, does Zhizhou dare to offend a confirmed prime minister?"
"..."
Taigong Liu sneered: "Shen Shixiu...this son's name must not be true."
"How did the master find out?"
"Have you never heard of the story between Shen Shixiu and Kou Xiaowan?"
"I, I, really haven't heard of it."
Taigong Liu probably talked about the two of them.
"During the chaos in Zuichun Tower, Kou Xiaowan's whereabouts are unknown. Some people say that he was kept at home by the minister of Kaixi City. Some people say that he died in the chaos. Some people say that Kou Xiaowan hid his name elsewhere."
After Shen Li walked around Liu's house, he returned to the inn.
"Aunt Lian, listen to me."
After drinking a large bowl of herbal tea, the young man slowly revealed his inner plan.
