They say it's sick

Chapter 67

When he said this, Chen Jin kept looking at Yun Zhi, the worry in his eyes was hard to hide.

All the way from Youzhou to the capital and then from the capital to Pingzhou, all kinds of treks and bumps, in order to find out the cause of Yunji's death.Although it's not that he didn't doubt Li Xuan before, it's different after confirming it.

Especially now that Li Xuan is dead, even if it is confirmed that he is the murderer, there will be no chance of revenge by himself, even Chen Jin will feel resentful.

Yun Zhi was much calmer than Chen Jin expected, and even managed to pat the hand of Li Yan, who was also full of worry, and became the calmest person in the yard.

He filled the teacup for Li Yan, and then raised his eyes to look at Chen Jin: "What does Li Liang know?"

"That Li Liang was quite trusted by Li Xuan before, so he did a lot of things for him, one of which was to arrange for the dead men of the Zheng family for him. It is said that about six or seven years ago, Li Xuan suddenly sent He went to pick up a group of people outside the city, and when he received them, he didn't bring them back to the city. Instead, he settled in an unused bandit lair in the mountains, and sent money and food there on time every month."

Chen Jin carefully scanned Yunzhi's expression, and continued after seeing that there was no difference, "I reckoned that the time should be before the first prince's "rebellion". There was also suspicion about the case of the third prince. The Zheng family probably wanted to save a way out because they were afraid that the past would be revealed, so they sent the most powerful group of dead men under their command to Liaobei.

After all, at that time Zheng Lian still had great trust in Li Xuan, the "virtuous son-in-law". Later, the first prince fell, and the Zheng family had no time to take care of this group of dead men anymore, so it was easier for Li Xuan. "

"Hmm..." Yun Zhi responded, and took a sip of tea, "Has Li Xuan used this group of people a lot?"

"Not much..." Chen Jin replied, "Probably because he didn't want too many people to know about it, so in recent years, Li Xuan has asked Li Liang to take care of that group of people, feeding them with good food and drink.

The demands that are not excessive are also met as much as possible. Occasionally, Li Xuan made arrangements in person. Over the past six or seven years, there have been no more than three or five times in total. The most recent one was a certain day at the end of last year. In the mountains, Li Liang didn't know what they were talking about at the time.

It wasn't until later that Shizi was killed by bandits, and his traces were traced all the way to the mountain, that he realized that Li Xuan had ordered that group of people to pretend to be bandits to assassinate Shizi. "

Yun Zhi lowered her eyelids, covering the emotions in her eyes, her eyes fell on the teacup in her hand, and she seemed to be looking elsewhere through the teacup.

He didn't speak, and the courtyard fell into a brief silence. It wasn't until Chen Jin turned his gaze to Li Yan, trying to get him to say something, that Yun Zhi put down the teacup in his hand, and said, "Empty talk and white teeth!" , what proof does he have?"

"There are not many people who know about this kind of thing. According to Li Xuan's habit, he has already cleaned it up before doing it..."

Chen Jin said, "If we don't talk about proofs, Li Liang said that he has the bills for withdrawing silver taels from the government and the army in the past few years. They are obviously withdrawn on a monthly basis, but the reasons are different each time. Because Li Xuan The cashier didn’t even ask any more questions, do you want to get it?”

"Forget it, it's useless if you get it..." Yunzhi said after thinking, "There must be a reason for Li Xuan's sudden decision to attack my elder brother. Later, Xuanzhi and I will go to Li's mansion again to see if we can find anything else. Clues."

Chen Jin nodded, and couldn't help asking: "What about me?"

"Even in the capital, there are not many people who know that my eldest brother is going back to Youzhou. However, there are always some twists and turns affecting the itinerary due to the bumpy and tiring journey, but Li Xuan was able to accurately grasp the time when he entered Pingzhou..." Yun Zhizhi took a deep breath, "The people who were previously arranged to check the track of the elder brother along the way will continue, and we will arrange additional people to check all the people who accompanied the elder brother."

Chen Jin replied, "Including those guards?"

Yun Zhi nodded: "Yes..."

Chen Jin opened his eyes slightly: "You mean..."

"I told you, I don't believe any of the people in the capital..." Yun Zhi closed her eyes slightly, "I'll check it out."

Chen Jin glanced at him, then at Li Yan who had been silent all the time, and replied, "Okay..."

Then he immediately got up and walked out.

Only Yun Zhi and Li Yan were left in the yard. Yun Zhi raised her eyes to watch Chen Jin leave, and closed her eyes slightly.Then he felt a hand on his forehead and gently rubbed it.

Yun Zhi took advantage of the situation and leaned towards the man, letting out a very soft sigh.

"Tired?" Li Yan adjusted his sitting posture so that Yun Zhi could lean more comfortably, without stopping the movement of his hands, "Shall I take you back to the inn to rest?"

"No need..." Yun Zhi still closed her eyes, her voice was extremely low, with undisguised exhaustion, "I have to go to Li's house again later, especially to Li Xuan's study, and then find the past to follow him Ask the boy to see if he can find anything."

"Actually..." Li Yan hesitated for a moment, and then said, "You also know that although Li Xuan is arrogant, he is very cautious and cruel, but anyone who knows should have been silenced by him long ago. As for other things , it is even more impossible to stay until now.”

"Yes, I know, I have to go and have a look..." Yun Zhi replied, "I have come all the way to Pingzhou, and it seems that I have found a lot of things, but in fact it only confirmed the previous guess. Still don't know anything."

Li Yan thought for a while and then said: "Do you also think that the murderer behind the scenes who ordered Li Liang to poison Li Xuan to death is the real murderer who drove Li Xuan to assassinate your elder brother that day?"

"Yes..." Yunzhi nodded, "The timing of Li Xuan's death was too coincidental, I can't think of any other reason except that the real murderer behind the scenes wanted to silence him before we found Li Xuan.

This person can make Li Xuan willingly be driven by him, and he can kill Li Xuan at this stall just right. He should be a great existence in the capital. "

Li Yan paused, and opened his mouth: "Youhuai..."

"There's no need to speculate without evidence, and there's no need to affect your current mood because of speculation..." Yun Zhi opened her eyes and looked at Li Yan without blinking, "So Xuanzhi, don't need to say anything."

After a moment of silence, Li Yan continued to rub Yunzhi's forehead: "Okay..."

"No need to press it, I'm fine..." Yun Zhi smiled, pulled his hand down, intertwined fingers and held it tightly, "Will you accompany me to Li's Mansion?"

Li Yan nodded: "Okay..."

Li's mansion was as lively as the day before, but it formed a strong contrast with the deserted streets of Pingzhou.

In addition to the visitors who came to express their condolences the day before, many people from nearby towns who got the news also came one after another. The Li family was busier than the day before. Li Liang, who has a strong sense of presence on weekdays, did not show up for half a day. No one cared about where Yun Zhi and Li Yan went after entering the mansion.

So all the way to Li Xuan's study without any hindrance.

Li's residence has been busy with funerals for the past few days, and Li Xuan has not been buried yet, so he has no time to tidy up his old houses.

Therefore, the study room still maintains the appearance of Li Xuan's life, but it is indeed useless.

As Li Yan said, Li Xuan is a cautious person. Whether it is the existence of the dead men or the people in the capital who can drive him, they are all secrets that cannot be revealed to outsiders, and it is even more impossible to leave any traces after the incident. .

So the two of them rummaged through the entire study room, except for some almost untouched art of war, and some military official documents that hadn't been dealt with in time, but they also found the previous plan to suppress the bandits.

But most of this kind of thing is done by the person in charge of the matter, and it is similar to the final report sent to the capital, without any mistakes.

"It's really as expected..." Li Yan closed the door of the study with his hand back, and he and Yunzhi walked out while saying, "Now go find the boy who followed him before? Do you want... Li Xuan was in love at that time It was Mrs. Ru, although Li Xuan would not tell the person next to him about this kind of thing, but during that time he went to Mrs. Ru's room almost every day, maybe he would behave differently from the past, How about asking?"

"Alright..." Yun Zhi only spoke halfway, then suddenly stopped, raised her eyes to look at the corridor not far away, and then gestured to Li Yan beside her.

Li Yan looked over and saw Li Shao who was dressed in plain clothes. He subconsciously frowned, and then instantly relieved, tilting his head: "What's the matter?"

Li Shao took two steps forward and stood in front of the fence.

He glanced at Li Yan first, and then followed the path behind him before he hesitated and said, "Where did you go, brother?"

Li Yan glanced at the haggard face that had been guarding the spirit all night, and asked, "There is only one place in this direction, don't you know where I went?"

Li Shao didn't expect the other party to answer like this, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer, but Li Yan spoke again: "There are still a few days before the burial, you are still young, your body has not grown up, and you can't stand it." It's been a long day, since there is nothing to do now, let's go back to the room early to rest."

This was probably the gentlest thing that the nominal brothers said to Li Yan when they met several times. Even the eye sockets were turning red.

Li Yan couldn't help but frowned again, and pulled Yun Zhi with one hand: "We still have something to do, so let's go first."

After walking a few steps, the young man behind him who didn't know what to say finally spoke, "Brother!"

Li Yan stopped and looked back at him: "What else is there?"

Li Shao's throat choked, and he finally opened his mouth: "What I told you in the mourning hall yesterday... Do you want to go back to Pingzhou and live with the family?"

"You..." Li Yan looked at him complicatedly for a while, then suddenly stepped forward and patted the young man on the shoulder, "From now on, the Li family will depend entirely on you, just take good care of your mother."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Li Shao's reaction, he turned around and walked out together with Yun Zhi who was waiting a few steps away.
