The psychic Xi ​​Lan

Chapter 191 Finding Peace

Li Huaishi didn't want to see her suffer so much, and felt that Mother Long must have a reason for what she did, so he spoke to comfort her.

Xi Lan actually felt much better when she heard his voice, at least, she was not alone when she was sad.

After a moment of silence, she replied, "Maybe, but I don't want to know anymore!"

Taking a deep breath, she didn't want to keep forgetting more important things because of the person who had been away for 18 years, so she tried her best to calm down and said, "We saved Ping An!"

"Okay! This king will accompany you!" He let go of her, no amount of words could compare to this company.

Xi Lan managed to hold up a smile and asked, "Aren't you going to the palace?"

"There must be many people in the palace right now who don't want to see this king's face!" He gently took her by the hand and led her out of the Jifu, and the two of them boarded a carriage and rushed to the Xicheng Market.

Sitting next to him, Li Huai looked down at the cotton handkerchief, and he was also puzzled, such as what is the relationship between Longmu and Ji's family, and why such an expert as Longmu is willing to stay in Ji's mansion?
Could it be that he really had an affair with Ji Chang, and was there any unexplainable emotional matter?

Because he was concerned about Xi Lan's mood, he didn't ask, but said: "I don't want to bother with Xian, so I might as well stay by your side and accompany you to find peace."

Xi Lan's face was slightly moved when she heard this, she knew that Li Huai would be willing to give up the chance to impeach Nalan's family?But he hid all the unwillingness in his heart.

She reached out and gently held the other's wrist, and said softly, "Li Huai, thank you."

"Fool, between you and me, why bother to say thank you?" Li Huai tapped her forehead lightly with his index finger, and seeing that she looked better, he gently embraced her and let out a long breath.

"Actually, what Ji Changgan said is correct. Even if there is that criminal evidence, it may not be able to do anything to Nalan. She has not recovered from her head injury at the moment, and her father feels a lot of guilt towards her. Now this king will go to the court again. She is one, she may be forcing her to die, after all, the father is a person who values ​​love..."

So the result at this moment is the best result.

He remembered that when they came, he also asked Xi Lan in the carriage if the hexagrams did not strike, and she replied no.

"Young Master Long's divination technique is indeed the Gua Wuxu Gua!" After he finished admiring, the carriage was already approaching the Xicheng Market! "But on such a handkerchief, there is no other description other than the location. Where will the peace be?"

Especially the Xicheng Bazaar is the busiest market in the capital, and it is usually crowded with people of all kinds during the day.

She replied lightly: "I can see it!"

If Xue Ping'an's soul is attached to something, she can see that it is not difficult.

After hearing this, Li Huai nodded and replied, "Suddenly I feel that this king is useless in front of you!"

She was amused by his words, and temporarily forgot everything that happened in Jifu.

She looked sideways at the other side's beautiful side face and said, "You are not useless, if there is no eternity, there will be no pure land in the world."

"Unfortunately, my king's name is Li Huai!"

She froze for a moment, then reached out and gently stroked his cheek.

"No matter what your name is, you were born because of him." Just like her, it exists because of Bodhi.

The carriage stopped soon, and Yan Ting shouted respectfully from outside: "My lord, the princess is here!"

They went down one after another, and the streets of Xicheng District were full of people coming and going, and the traffic was busy.

The cries of hawkers, the laughter of children, and the sound of bargaining in the market.

Xi Lan stood in the crowd for a long time, trying to find a direction for herself. Li Huai came forward, gently took her hand and said, "The market is here!"

The two went in that direction, first passing through a shop selling cloth, Xi Lan had been here the day before, but that day was afternoon, the market had already dispersed, and there were not so many people looking for goods, so it was completely inappropriate to come in now. is dazzled.

"This area is called Buyitong. There are 120 merchants in the register. Among them, 38 merchants specialize in Sujin, 36 merchants in Yunjin, and the rest of the merchants sell all kinds of miscellaneous goods. For gadgets, there are a total of [-] registered merchants... The last one is Minshengtong, which is used for people to trade food, grain, grass and livestock. There are only [-] registered merchants there, and the rest are all from farmers outside the capital..."

Xi Lan was a little pleasantly surprised that he remembered these details of the market in such detail. She said: "The registered merchants have to pay an extra tax every month. It is not easy for those farmers outside the city to enter the city to sell. The current emperor is really a wise man." Jun, you don’t need to be registered in Minsheng Tongli to enter and trade!”

Li Huai smiled slightly upon hearing this, but said nothing.

Xi Lan looked at him curiously: "Could it be related to you?"

He nodded undeniably, and replied: "This king believes that those with greater ability should bear greater responsibilities, and for these disadvantaged farmers, it is not easy to maintain their livelihood. It's difficult..." He was a little ashamed when he said this, "But since the founding of the Wen Kingdom, the taxes and fees of all states and counties have been like this, so the weak tax reduction policy only exists in the Xicheng Market, and the rest of the Wen Kingdom is the same as the working people. Pay heavy taxes!"

Xi Lan heard his regret, so she stopped, patted her shoulder lightly, and encouraged: "I believe that the next emperor of Wen Kingdom must be a wise king, and he will definitely realize this policy of benefiting the people!"

Li Huai had no choice but to smile wryly, "It's not easy! The resources of a country are controlled by the upper-level nobles and bureaucrats. If you want to collect higher taxes from them to help the hard-working people, that is to steal their skin!"

Although the Wen Kingdom belonged to the Li family, if he offended these aristocratic bureaucrats, he would inevitably be opposed by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Moreover, his proposal had been handed down to the emperor for several years, so why did the emperor not want to implement this policy? Isn't it because of these reasons that after so many years, he only dared to try it in the Xicheng market.

Xi Lan still said confidently: "Despite this, I still believe that this hope will be realized in Wenguo one day."

Li Huai's fate in this life is already the fate of Tianlong, if there is no change, he must be the king of tomorrow.

When they were talking, they had already walked through the entire commoner and came to Baiwutong. Because there were so many small objects here, Xi Lan stopped chatting and focused all her attention on these things around her.

She pays special attention to the antique utensils on some stalls, because these old objects have a certain aura and are easier to store.

It took them a stick of incense to finish walking all the things together, and the time on the cloth was almost here, but they hadn't found any clues yet, Xi Lan was a little anxious.

"There is no..." She frowned tightly. In her feeling, Xue Ping'an's soul was most likely to be in the Baiwutong, but it was not.

Li Huai had the same idea as her. Hearing what she said, he subconsciously asked: "Otherwise, let's go around again, maybe we missed it!"

She shook her head and replied, "Indeed not!"

Afraid of missing the hour, she immediately took out the copper coins in her sleeve, and prepared to do a divination to see if she could find the object sent by Xue Ping'an's soul.

She held the copper coin and made a hexagram on the ground.

But the hexagram was not opened, instead a copper coin fell into a merchant's cabinet.

She originally wanted to bend down to pick it up, but she heard the crisp sound of something falling to the ground next to her.

She looked for the sound subconsciously, and saw a white chess piece falling from nowhere, bouncing on the ground, and rolling forward.

She also didn't care about the copper coin just now, and hurriedly chased after the chess piece.

And that chess piece is also very miraculous, as if it had eyes and legs, it didn't hit any obstacles, and it rolled for a long time without stopping.

Xi Lan concentrated on chasing the chess piece, and finally stopped on a step.

"Xi Lan!" Li Huai chased up from behind and saw her pick up the chess piece from the ladder.

"Xuyuan... this is Xuyuan's chess piece..." She suddenly said with a look of surprise, and began to look around, looking for the figure of that brat.

Li Huai was not as happy as she was, he approached and said softly: "Xi Lan, this is just an ordinary chess piece!"

Xi Lan was taken aback, she refused to believe that this was just an ordinary chess piece.

"Didn't you see it just now? It has been rolling from that side to this side!" She said while pointing it out to Li Huai, hoping that he would trust her own judgment.

Li Huai also knew that she really hoped to find Zixu Yuan, that's why she did this.

He reminded: "I have seen Zixu Yuan's chess piece before, it is different from this one, I believe you know it better than me!"

Xi Lan took the chess piece over and held it tightly in her palm.

"Maybe you're right. If he's really here, how can he avoid me?"

That brat will definitely chase after her and call her a brat!

"Xi Lan, I have never given up looking for the whereabouts of Zi Xuyuan. As long as he is still alive, I will definitely find it..."

"Li Huai..." Xi Lan turned her back to him, and suddenly called his name with a different voice.

"Regardless of whether the chess piece belongs to Zi Xuyuan or not, one thing is certain, it was found!"

it found it?

Li Huai didn't understand what she meant for a while, so she hurried down and stood on her ladder to look down. Minshengtong was just below. On the right side of the same spot, there is a place for selling livestock. A group of people are surrounding an old cattle. Unlike the livestock sold in the previous market, the limbs of the old cattle are actually chained.

With just one glance, Xi Lan could see that the old scalper was not simple, she almost galloped down to the old scalper.

The people watching the excitement around the cow were curiously discussing something, when they saw a luxuriously dressed woman like her rushing over, all eyes fell on her.

Regardless of those messy and strange gazes, she walked directly in front of the old scalper, stretched out her hand to caress the cow's face, the cow's big and bright eyes shed tears when it saw her.

"Ping An! Ping An! I finally found you!" When she was excited, tears welled up in her eyes. She always thought that Xue Ping'an's soul was enshrined in an inanimate vessel, but she was completely wrong!

The person who captured Xue Ping'an's soul wanted to torture her, torture Ping An, and entrust him to the animals.Seeing the bruises on the cow and the fact that it was bound with iron chains, she was so angry that her hands trembled.

"Hey, who are you? Who told you to touch Grandpa's cow?" Suddenly, a tired man walked out from behind the crowd, with various tattoos on his bare arms.

Xi Lan couldn't find anyone to vent her anger, so she immediately asked him, "You tied the chains to him?"
