Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 114
The corners of Li Canghai's mouth turned up slightly, he glanced at the study, and then backed out.

In a restaurant outside the government office in Luoyang, Di Qing was sitting by the window, propping her chin with one hand, and playing with a porcelain cup with her right hand.

Seeing Li Canghai coming from the stairs, Di Qing hurriedly stood up and shouted: "Canghai, here!"

Seeing Di Qing's happy expression, Li Canghai knew that the matter he had told her was done, so he hurried over.

"Qing'er, how are things going?" Li Canghai asked after pouring a cup of tea.

Di Qing stroked her bangs, frowned, and said, "I've already found out what you asked me to investigate. Mr. Liang has only been to the 'Fenze Garden' in the west city recently besides the government office. Canghai, why did you investigate Liang?" grown ups?"

Li Canghai didn't answer her, but asked instead: "What do you think about Mr. Liang being an official?"

Di Qing tilted her head and thought for a while, then said: "Master Liang was born as a Jinshi. Although he is a little timid and often hesitates, he has not been corrupted or bribed. Generally speaking, he is still a good official. The most important thing is Yes, he is willing to let me enter the Yamen as a policeman, so he is a good man."

Li Canghai couldn't help laughing, Di Qing was straightforward, everything she said was based on Jianghu morality, Liang Xiu let her enter the yamen, fulfilled her wish, she would naturally regard him as a good person.

"Sometimes, what you see with your own eyes may not be true." Li Canghai said quietly, rubbing his chin.

"Canghai, don't you think Mr. Liang is a bad guy?" Di Qingyu stretched out her neck, moved close to Li Canghai, and asked with blinking eyes.

Li Canghai didn't want to dwell on this topic, so he drank a glass of water and asked, "Where is 'Fen Ze Yuan'?"

"Oh, that's where Mr. Liang Xinna's concubine lives." Di Qing curled her lips, as if she was quite displeased with Li Canghai's questioning of Liang Xiu's words.

"Qing'er, can you do me another favor?" Li Canghai said after thinking about it with a smile.

"You don't even trust Mr. Liang, why should you trust me?" Di Qing pouted and said displeasedly.

Li Canghai reached out and patted her small head, and said, "You girl, if you can't even trust you, who else can I trust in this world? The question now is, do you believe me or not?"

Di Qing suddenly became happy in her heart, and she snorted, "That depends on whether you are worthy of my trust."

Having said that, Di Qing still put her ears close to her.

Li Canghai pondered for a while, then leaned into her ear and whispered softly.

After listening, Di Qing wrinkled her delicate nose, curled her lips and said, "Isn't this deceiving Master Liang?"

"This is not deception, it's all about finding out the truth." Li Canghai patted her on the head affectionately, and said seriously, "Qing'er, the success or failure of this matter rests entirely on you."

Di Qing tilted her head and thought for a while, then said angrily, "This is just this one time, don't make another example!"

Li Canghai narrowed his eyes and laughed, nodded hastily and said, "Of course, this time is not an example, and there will definitely be no next time."

At noon, the back hall of the Luoyang government office.

Li Canghai and Liang Xiu, each wrapped in bandages, were sitting in the hall playing chess.

Liang Xiu was only injured on one arm, while Li Canghai was covered in injuries all over his body, wrapped like a mummy, and only one face was uninjured.

"Canghai, why hasn't Miss Di come back yet?" Liang Xiu frowned while holding a black chess piece.

Li Canghai stared at the chessboard intently, and said, "Don't worry, my lord, with Qing'er here, the brocade box will be fine."

Liang Xiu put down the chess pieces at will, and he sighed: "There have been too many things happening recently, and I'm a bit of a ghost."

Li Canghai smiled, and when he was about to speak, he saw a yamen servant rush in quickly and shouted, "It's not good, my lord, Di Chutou is injured!"

"Catcher Di? Which Catcher Di?" Liang Xiu was stunned for a while, before he could react for a while, he asked suspiciously.

The yamen servant was stunned for a few seconds before replying, "My lord, it's Di Qing!"

It was only then that Liang Xiu remembered that he had indeed named her a head catcher, but he had only given her a name all the time, but basically he had never called her.

"Qing'er? Where is Qing'er? What's going on?" Li Canghai jumped up when he heard that Di Qing was injured, and immediately limped towards the front hall.

After walking a few steps, Di Qing walked to the back hall with the support of several people.

Di Qing's face was as pale as a sheet of paper, without a trace of blood, and blood was constantly overflowing from her mouth, as if she had suffered a serious injury.

"Qing'er! Qing'er, what's wrong with you? Who hurt you like this? Who is it?" Seeing this, Li Canghai's eyes instantly turned red, and he hurriedly stepped forward to hold Di Qing, and shouted angrily.

Di Qing opened her eyes weakly, looked at Li Canghai, and said with difficulty: "Canghai... I, I didn't protect the brocade box, and the brocade box... was, was snatched away...."

"What? The brocade box was taken away?" Liang Xiu was taken aback, he hurriedly asked: "Miss Di, what happened, how did you get hurt like this?" Li Canghai burst into tears, It is said that men don't flick their tears lightly, only because they haven't reached the sad place.But what Li Canghai cried was touching.

"Qing'er, you'll be fine, you must hold on! Hold on!" Li Canghai cried like a man in tears, he hugged Di Qing, weeping bitterly.

Liang Xiu hastily stepped forward and squatted down. He grabbed Di Qing's wrist and found that Di Qing's pulse was beating slowly, almost out of pulse. He was shocked and said, "Hurry up and call the doctor! Hurry up!"

"No...no need." Di Qing was trembling, with heartbreaking pain on her face, and said with difficulty: "My lord...quick, go and grab the brocade box, it's in their...hands .”

While speaking, Di Qing's arm suddenly dropped down, Liang Xiu felt Di Qing's pulse fell silent instantly, he checked his breath, and was shocked to find that Di Qing had lost her breath! "Qing'er? Qing'er!"

Li Canghai yelled twice, but because he was heartbroken, he vomited blood, his eyes went dark and he passed out.

"My lord, what should I do?" A group of yamen servants were moved by the friendship between the two, and they all covered their faces and wept, feeling that the heaven was too cruel, and such a golden boy and jade girl were torn apart abruptly.

"You stay and take care of Cang Hai, and the rest immediately seal the city gates, strictly investigate any passers-by, and definitely arrest the murderer!" Liang Xiu ordered with a gloomy face and fury.

After several yamen servants received their orders, they immediately led a search across the city. At this time, the doctor just arrived, and Liang Xiu hurriedly asked him to see if Di Qing was still alive.The doctor touched Di Qing's wrist, shook his head and sighed: "My lord, this girl has... passed away."

A complex look suddenly appeared on Liang Xiu's face, including sadness, regret, and some remorse.
