Under the light, Li Xiu picked up the crystal ball from time to time and looked at it for a moment, then lowered his head to continue drawing sketches. He probably still remembers the principle of the monocular telescope.

I was unhappy with the reward of the wallet this time, so why didn’t I give myself a pair of telescopes directly, but I only gave me a half-finished product, and I had to design it myself.

At this time, familiar footsteps came from the yard, and it was Pei Min who was back.

Li Xiu hurriedly hid the drawings and pretended to admire the nameless dagger.

"Has the young master rested?"

"Come in!"

Pei Min, wearing a black warrior uniform, walked in and placed three letters on Li Xiu's desk.

"It's a pity that only three were found!"

"Three letters are enough."

Pei Min hesitated and asked, "Do you want to ask Miss Zi to find a few imitation masters?"

Li Xiu smiled slightly, "We have ready-made people, and we don't need to find anyone outside, so we can find Lao Zhong."

………………

At night, when the warrior leader Ma Bing quickly walked into the inner hall and knelt down on one knee to report, "See the prince!"

Li Chengye stood in the lobby with his hands behind his back and asked coldly: "Is that woman in Taohuafang making progress?"

Ma Bing shook his head, "I searched all over the world three times, but found no abnormalities. I bribed her maid two days ago. The maid said that Luo Ying rarely came and did not value this woman. I suppose that the thing should not be her?"

"I heard that this woman is so pretty. Have you gotten it with her?"

"I dare not. It is normal for me to approach her for investigation."

Li Chengye looked at him coldly for a while and asked again: "What else is there?"

"I heard another important news today. Luo Ying secretly bought a house in Gong County last year. The purpose is unknown. It is likely that the thing was hidden in Gong County."

"Let's go to Gongxian to check now!"

"Black ye to set off immediately!"

Ma Bing left, and Li Chengye said to the man in gray behind him: "That woman in Taohuafang, you can try her carefully and kill her."

The man in gray bowed and left.

Li Chengye paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, really worried about what Luo Ying said before his death that he had evidence of his rebellion, but after finding it for so long, he found nothing even after digging three feet into the Luo Mansion.

Li Chengye has no handle on rebellion now, and the emperor has no choice but to deal with him, but he is afraid that the evidence Luo Ying said will be exposed.

At this time, the staff member Wang Feng said: "The prince usually has to show up once he doesn't show up for a long time, which will make people interested in paying attention to the prince."

"You can arrange it!"

"Tomorrow night, I will arrange a night banquet for scholars, so that the prince's substitute will appear, making the prince look very leisurely and at ease.

"Whatever!"

Li Chengye has no idea at all. He has been thinking about one thing these days. Where is the evidence Luo Ying said?

………….

Late at night, Li Sheng and Li Ji were reporting the progress of the investigation to Emperor Li Longji.

Although they said some annoying words in front of Gao Lishi, it does not mean that they have given up on investigation, especially Li Sheng, which is related to his career, and he needs to work harder.

It’s just that they don’t want to investigate with Li Xiu.

"I discovered another Luo Family Manor yesterday, with about 3,000 marquis. They were trained in leather armor and had weapons in their hands. There were many weapons and armor in this manor, which could arm about 5,000 people."

Li Ji also said: "This is indeed a breakthrough. We found a weapon. Using it as a breakthrough point, we will soon find another weapon storage place."

Li Longji was still quite disappointed with this harvest. The number of soldiers and armor was too small. Thousands of soldiers were useless to rebel. At that time, Li Chengye helped the Emperor to stock up on 100,000 weapons in Xingdaofang.

On the one hand, the small number is one aspect, and more importantly, even if 100,000 weapons are found, the Luo family rebelled and has nothing to do with King Xue.

How could Li Longji, who was determined to defeat King Xue, not disappointed?

"Last time Pei Envoy said that Luo Ying had evidence of King Xue's rebellion. Is there any clue to this evidence?"

"Report to Your Majesty, everyone is looking for this evidence. Luo Qing turned the Luo Mansion into the sky but couldn't find it. King Xue himself was looking for it. They had previously suspected that a family in Taohuafang, and Bei Zhi also took people to go over it, but found nothing."

Li Sheng added: "There is a saying now that Luo Ying has no such thing as retaining evidence!"

Li Longji's disappointment and dissatisfaction could no longer be concealed. Before he tried his best to find it, he had already said the depressed words first. Is this leaving a way out for himself?

Li Longji restrained his anger and said, "Don't say such words now, King Xue has not given up. We need to work harder to find it."

After pausing for a while, Li Longji said again: "It is no longer of great significance to find weapons, and finding them is also a rebellion by the Luo family. Now you must concentrate on finding the evidence left by Luo Ying. This is the top priority!"

"I obey the order!"

The two bowed and left.

Although it was late at night, Li Longji was not sleepy at all. He was really upset and paced back and forth in the room with his hands on his back. His real purpose in coming to Luoyang was to get rid of King Xue and take control of Dongdu. But now it seems that it is not that easy to get rid of King Xue Li Chengye, and the key is that there is no evidence!

………………

The next morning, as soon as Li Xiu got up, Zi Linfeng rushed over.

"Your Highness, there was a case last night, and you might be interested!"

Seeing that her eyes were red and she probably hadn't slept all night, Li Xiu asked Xiaomei to pour her a cup of tea.

Zi Linfeng sat down and rested for a while and said, "Last night, a case occurred in Taohuafang. A young woman hanged herself and committed suicide. On the surface, it seemed to be suicide, but there were signs of turning around in her dormitory, and the deceased had no intention of committing suicide. Judging from all the signs, I concluded that he was killing him."

"But what does this have to do with me?"

"Don't worry! That's it. After visiting the maid, I realized that this woman was actually another resident wife raised by Luo Ying. She was deeply loved by Luo Ying. Recently, she has gotten into contact with King Xue's subordinates. Her mansion has been searched several times, and it seems that she has hidden some secret."

Zhong Kui next to him blurted out, "Evidence of King Xue's rebellion!"

"What?" Zi Linfeng was stunned.

"Miss Zi should know! What Luo Ying said before his death was that he had evidence of King Xue's rebellion. Her mansion was searched, and it was probably just looking for this thing."

Li Xiu's idea was consistent with Zhong Kui, and he also thought of evidence of King Xue's rebellion.

He glanced at Pei Min, and Pei Min nodded, "I also think it's worth checking!"

………….

The woman who died of suicide was surnamed Lin and lived in Taohuafang. Her family is a two-acre house.

At present, all the maids and mothers have been dismissed for the time being. The house has been sealed by the county government and sealed with them. Some yamen runners are standing guard at the door.

They entered the house through the back door, and the bodies of the suicide were no longer in the mansion, which seemed deserted.

The crowd first came to the room where the deceased hanged himself. Pei Min climbed onto the beam of the room and looked at it, and said, "It was indeed a killing of him. After strangulation, he would cause the illusion of suicide."

"How to see it?"

"It's very simple. If she commits suicide, she will struggle before she dies. The white silk moves, and the dust on the beams will form a messy trace."

Zi Linfeng also jumped onto the beam and looked at the traces carefully. There were only two clear marks on the dust on the beam.

"Pei Jiu is right. The deceased did not struggle after hanging himself, which is in line with the illusion of hanging himself again after he has died."

Li Xiu clapped his palms, "Two captains, we are not here to solve the case, but to find something."

Everyone acted separately and began to search the backyard and the middle hall carefully...

The result is still nothing...

Li Xiu paced back and forth in the deceased's room. He found that the house was quite new and it took only three or four years to build it. Will the evidence be hidden in the wall or roof when building the house?

"A Zi!" Li Xiu leaned out his head and shouted out the window.

"What's wrong with Your Highness?"

"I want to know a situation, whose house belongs to this woman before she moves in?"

"Your Highness means that things were hidden before this woman, so she doesn't know?"

Li Xiu nodded, "I was thinking just now that so many people have searched for this house, which means that it is most likely to hide evidence, but no one can find it. This must include interrogating this woman.

I think they may have overlooked a problem, the evidence existed before the woman moved in, so this woman didn’t know.”

Zi Linfeng really admires Li Xiu's mind, which is better than others.

"Your Highness's guess is very likely that this woman has only lived here for a year. I'll check it out. Who lived here before her?"

......

When she returned to Qinghuafang, Xiaomei came up and said, "King Xue sent someone to send an invitation!"

Li Xiu opened the invitation and King Xue held a literati banquet at King Xue's mansion tonight, and specially invited him to attend.

"Young Master is going?"

"Don't go!"

Li Xiu threw the invitation aside, and the literati banquet had nothing to do with him.

Finding evidence of King Xue’s rebellion is the top priority. In a few days, the princess’s wedding will be held. Li Xiu had an intuition that the princess’ wedding will be a turning point.
To be continued...
