Liao Zhai Great Kind People

Chapter 180 The Dragon King of Sichuan and Chongqing
At the banquet, Li Dan kept a cold and serious face, but Zhang Xiu always kept a kind smile.

The others watched with trepidation, with extremely complicated hearts, for fear of encountering the plot of storytelling in which swordsmen barge in with swords and axes.

After a meal, Zhang Xiu was full of wine and food, wiped his mouth with a towel, packed ten roasted lamb legs, got up and said goodbye to Li Dan: "Third prince, thanks for the hospitality, it's getting late, don't go back to my house I'm going to be worried, so I'll take my leave first. Also, remember to take your medicine on time!"

Li Dan turned his face and sneered at the retainers beside him: "Send them on their way!"

Li Kei: "???"

Li Heng: "!!!"

Li Jiachen: "@#￥%￥#@..."

Your Highness, what you said... doesn't sound like you're trying to win over someone! !
Pulling out his face twice, Li Jiachen stood up helplessly, and translated: "The reception is not good, prepare well another day, and invite three more people to come to the banquet!"

Li Ji and Li Heng breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words, and the fifth prince Li Ji smiled politely: "You are welcome, third brother, you are welcome, next time... I hope there will be no next time."

Li Dan: "..."

Sure enough, brothers still don't like me...

When Li Dan was full of depression and fell into self-doubt, he was in the Luzhou Guild Hall.

Xia'er rubbed her stomach, and said with a gloomy expression: "Ao Xue, why hasn't my husband come back? Could it be that he met some vixen and was fascinated by them?"

Ao Xue lay listlessly on the table, her hungry chest pressed against her back, and said weakly: "Xia'er, you are just too pessimistic, you have to think about the bright side... Maybe Zhang Xiu was killed by the enemy. Killed it?"

Yan Feng: "@#￥%￥#@..."

It's better to be fascinated by the vixen!
When Yan Feng rolled his eyes, Xia'er and Ao Xue suddenly trembled at the same time, and their eyes lit up.

"Master!"

"Roast leg of lamb!"

The two came to the door in no particular order, and one of them opened a door.

Zhang Xiu, carrying ten roasted lamb legs, appeared in front of the door. Looking at the two figures, one big and one small, who came to greet him, she smiled and said, "I'm back!"

In the next moment, Ao Xue turned back into the real body of Bailong, curled up into a ball, swallowed a roast leg of lamb thrown by Zhang Xiu, and hiccupped with enjoyment on her face: "Bashi~ just add some chili~ "

Seeing this, Yan Feng couldn't help complaining, "Is this the Huaihe Dragon King, or the Sichuan and Chongqing Dragon King..."

Ao Xue turned back into a human body, hugged another roast leg of lamb and began to bite, humming, "I am the Dragon King of Greedy Mouth, named by Zhang Xiu!"

Yan Feng took off the wine gourd from his waist, took a sip of the wine, tore off a piece of roast lamb and ate it: "Have you found out who is behind the scenes?"

Zhang Xiu sighed helplessly, and said: "According to the clues I have found so far, the first prince and the second prince are more likely to be suspected, but we can't be sure. The assassination failed this time, so the real culprit should be honest for a while. "

Yan Feng swallowed the mutton in his mouth with a grunt, and said: "Then let's wait for a while, anyway, we are not in a hurry, as long as we don't disturb my grandson's high school champion."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up: "I suddenly remembered that the chief examiner of the imperial examination this time seems to be Liu Xing!"

Yan Feng paused for a moment, then stood up, grabbed the two legs of lamb and walked towards the door with an upright face: "Lord Liu is selfless and devoted himself to the welfare of the people. It can be said that he has done a lot of hard work. I will give him a supper. Lest his old man go hungry!"

Ao Xue stared at Yan Feng's back in dumbfounded, and murmured: "This Lao Shizi's imperial examination is too crazy, it's the first time I saw Yan Feng go through the back door..."

Zhang Xiu watched Yan Feng walk out of the gate, and said with emotion: "This is all for the children and grandchildren... By the way, I forgot to tell Yan Feng just now that Liu Xing is only the chief examiner of Wen Zhuangyuan, and the chief examiner of Wu Zhuangyuan has others." In order not to disappoint him, don't tell him about this."

Ao Xue: "@#￥%￥#@..."

Although I am not a human being, you are a real dog!

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Xing, who had a mouthful of cumin, came to the main hall of the imperial palace. After all the courtiers delivered the memorial, he appeared in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and said: "Your Majesty, two days ago, Wei I was assassinated, and now the culprit has been executed on the spot, I hope His Majesty will allow me to investigate!"

When the voice fell to the ground, there was an uproar in the hall.

Everyone never expected that Liu Xing, who was the elder of the three dynasties, would be assassinated. This thief must be too courageous!
The emperor frowned slightly and gave a dry cough. The next moment, the eunuch beside him shouted loudly: "Silence!"

The whole hall became completely silent, the emperor glanced at the three princes standing in front, and then said: "Master Liu, I have given you the right to act freely in this matter, if you can find out the real culprit, I will not tolerate it!"

Liu Xing smiled slightly, and said: "I obey the order!"

While Liu Xing was speaking, he was also observing the expressions of the princes.

The First Prince's face was solemn, as if he was serious about something.

The second prince frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

Three princes...

The third prince looks too scary!
It's even scarier than Yan Feng, the dean of school when he was in school! !

Liu Xing shivered and came back to his senses, shook his head, and walked out of the palace with the courtiers.

When he came outside the palace gate, he saw Zhang Xiu who was exchanging fishing experience with the guards. The corner of his mouth twitched, and he hurriedly stepped forward to pull him away, rolled his eyes and said, "Teacher, I have already obtained the right to investigate and handle this case." , I will give you a token later, and you can go to the princes for questioning."

Zhang Xiu nodded humbly, and said: "I heard that the salary of the guards in the palace has grown to 20 taels, why don't you get me a guard, and I'll find a replacement, and I'll give him every month... Give him a tael of silver!"

Liu Xing: "@#￥%￥#@..."

Sure enough, there are only wrong names and no wrong nicknames. What a rip-off!
At the same time, the eldest prince was walking on the avenue of the palace, seeing the sinister smile on the corners of the third prince Li Dan's mouth, he couldn't help beating his heart, and asked, "Third brother, you already know who assassinated Liu Xing Who is it?"

Hearing this, Li Dan couldn't help but sneer: "I don't know."

The eldest prince was slightly taken aback: "I don't know? Then why are you smiling?"

Li Dan took a deep breath, and said with a complicated smile, "I drank a dose of medicine last night, and the flesh on my face couldn't move..."

The First Prince: "@#￥%￥#@..."

Where did you find the quack doctor, third, you almost scared me to death!

If I hadn't asked you out of caution, I would have thought you had seen through my scheme! !
