Chapter 372 Investigating the Xie Family

[Recite the URL silently three times. Do you remember it? If you don’t remember, I’ll ask again in the next chapter. It’s best to share it on Facebook for me]

Li Beifeng didn't say anything more and looked at the sky outside the courtyard.

"It's getting late. Look at the weather. It might snow heavily later. I'll send someone to escort you out of the city first!"

Qiuyue was still stunned in place, seemingly still thinking about the meaning of Li Beifeng's words just now.

After a long time, she stared at Li Beifeng's back without speaking.

But there was a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

Outside the inner courtyard, Lin Ning had been waiting at the door for a long time.

Seeing Li Beifeng and Qiu Yue, who was wrapped up tightly, Lin Ning cupped his hands and said, "Dharma protector!"

Li Beifeng nodded slightly and glanced back at Qiuyue: "He will escort you out of the capital while it's dark. With my token along the way, your trip will be smooth... When you get outside the capital, someone will arrange for you to stay temporarily. , as for what’s next…”

"That's all I can help you with!"

Under the black robe, Qiu Yue seemed to want to say something, but Li Beifeng waved her hand to stop her.

"Remember what I just said, don't be impulsive...your impulsiveness will harm many people!"

After saying that, Li Beifeng turned around and returned to the courtyard.

Qiuyue still stood there, listening to Li Beifeng's words just now, her eyes complicated, and she was silent for a long time, until Lin Ning on the side interrupted her thoughts.

"Miss Qiu, let's... go?"

Qiuyue finally came back to her senses and nodded slightly.

Soon, several figures left the outer courtyard and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Li Beifeng turned back and returned to Su Shan's room.

Entered the room and closed the door.

"she left?"

Su Shan's soft inquiry came from the room.

"Um."

Li Beifeng nodded and looked at Su Shan who was sitting by the stove.

The room was slightly dim. She was sitting by the fire, holding a book in her hand and flipping through it... It could be seen that she was a little absent-minded.

Li Beifeng walked aside and lit the oil lamp on the candlestick.

The light illuminated the room and her slightly heavy face.

"Where did she go?"

Su Shan slowly raised her head and looked at Li Beifeng.

"have no idea!"

Li Beifeng came to sit opposite her and shook his head: "Didn't she tell you?"

"She said she was going to do something, something very dangerous..."

A trace of worry flashed in Su Shan's eyes: "I'm worried that she will do something impulsive."

"Your worries are not wrong!"

Li Beifeng sighed: "She is indeed a little confused."

From Qiuyue's eyes just now, Li Beifeng had already seen something was wrong.

Her eyes were determined, as if she was saying her final farewell.

...This made Li Beifeng guess some bad results.

Su Shan looked up at Li Beifeng, her expression becoming more and more worried, and she hesitated to speak.

In the end, I still couldn't say it.

But Li Beifeng understood her worries, but he just shook his head gently.

"She chose her own path. I can help her once, but I can't save her too many times... She has a heart problem!"

Li Beifeng pointed to his chest: "Her problem here must be solved by herself. Neither you nor I can help..."

Su Shan was silent.

Why doesn't she know this?

When Qiuyue came to see her today, she already had an ominous premonition.

Qiuyue seemed to have come to say goodbye to her and explain the funeral arrangements...

This made Su Shan panic.

Although I have guessed something, but...

Qiuyue is her maid after all!

As close as sisters!

She couldn't just watch and remain indifferent.

"I hope she's smarter!"

Li Beifeng shook his head and sighed slightly.

He probably guessed what Qiuyue wanted to do... Her biological sister died, which meant that her last relative in this world also died!

The knot in her heart has not been untied, even though the people in Jiaofangsi who killed her sister have died under her sword.

But the real culprit behind all this is still at large.

"Okay, don't think so much, she's not stupid, she knows what she knows..."

Li Beifeng shook his head and looked at her again: "By the way, did you drink today's medicine?"

Su Shan gradually came back to her senses and hummed softly.

"Come, let me check your body for you!"

"..."

After a moment, Li Beifeng withdrew his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

"You are recovering well. Your physical condition is basically under control now. However, you will still need to take care of yourself on time for a long time to come. Remember not to torment yourself at will anymore, understand?"

The efficacy of Ganoderma lucidum was indeed beyond Li Beifeng's expectation.

Su Shan's body recovered much faster than expected.

Even without checking, it was visible to the naked eye that Su Shan's face turned rosy. This was a healthy rosy color, which meant that her body had gradually returned to normal.

However, due to years of losses, she still needs to spend a long time to recuperate and maintain her health.

But if she insists on taking care of herself, it is not impossible for her to completely return to normal.

"Um……"

This time, Su Shan did not refute.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m used to it, or because I’m not in a good mood due to today’s events.

Seeing her dejected look, Li Beifeng subconsciously reached out and pinched her face: "Okay, stop being so dejected, it's not like we won't see you again... I don't think she is an impulsive person. You master and servant can’t see each other now, and it’s not like we won’t see each other forever. You can leave the capital when the time comes, or go back to Ping’an County, so you can get together again, right?”

Su Shan looked stunned and stood there blankly.

Not only because of Li Beifeng's actions, but also because... Li Beifeng's words reminded her.

It seems...this is indeed a good choice?

Soon, Su Shan's eyes showed a bit of light.

Yes, although Qiuyue cannot stay in the capital, she can definitely leave the capital!

For Su Shan, there aren't many memorable things in this capital, except...

A dim look flashed in her eyes, but she soon recovered.

Returning to Ping'an County was indeed a very good choice for her.

"how about you?"

Su Shan looked up at Li Beifeng and asked subconsciously.

"I?"

Li Beifeng knew what she wanted to ask and shook his head: "I can't go back yet, and..."

He paused: "I'm going to Beizhou soon..."

Li Beifeng was going to Beizhou. Su Shan knew about it, but he didn't know the specific time.

She asked: "When?"

"Probably just these two days!"

Li Beifeng counted the time.

"So fast?"

Su Shan was shocked. She didn't expect Li Beifeng to leave so soon?

"Yes, the New Year is coming soon, it's better to go sooner rather than later... Go early, maybe you can come back early!"

Li Beifeng chuckled.

"oh……"

Su Shan suddenly lowered his head, a dim look appeared in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"So, Qing Ning, I'm afraid I need to ask you for a favor..."

Li Beifeng said softly: "While I'm away, I hope you can help me take care of her."

"I will!"

Su Shan nodded. She and Qing Ning were as close as sisters, and she would take good care of Qing Ning even without Li Beifeng's advice.

"Then, do you want to tell Qing Ning this time?"

Li Beifeng hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "I will convince her!"

"oh!"

As Su Shan responded, the room fell into silence again.

Li Beifeng looked at her and she looked at the stove, but no one spoke again.

The room fell into a strange atmosphere.

Li Beifeng looked at Su Shan in front of him, and suddenly remembered what Qing Ning had mentioned to him, and was stunned for a long time.

But in the end, he still didn't speak.

"It's getting late, so I'll go back first, and you can rest early!"

"Um."

Li Beifeng stood up and left the room.

When the door closed, Su Shan was the only one left in the room.

She was still looking at the stove in front of her, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a little irritable.

An indescribable emotion, inexplicably irritable.

In my heart, for some reason, a trace of... annoyance gradually emerged.

Complex, tangled...

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, a faint sigh came from the room.

After that, there was no more sound.

After leaving Su Shan's room, Li Beifeng originally planned to go back to the room directly.

But after hesitating for a while, he still came to the door of Qing Ning's room.

That happened last night. This girl got up early this morning and sneaked back to her room. When Li Beifeng went to look for her during the day, Yun'er said that she was still sleeping... She was indeed tired last night, so Li Beifeng didn't bother her.

It's getting dark now, should you get up?

So, Li Beifeng came to the door of the room and knocked on the door.

Soon, the door to the room opened, and Yun'er's little head poked out.

When she saw it was Li Beifeng, Yun'er's face turned red and she was a little shy.

"Uncle...why are you here?"

...Since learning that the young lady and Mr. Li had already cooked rice last night, Yun'er even changed her title...

Of course, this is just a private name.

After all, the lady said that Miss Su must not know about this matter.

Otherwise, the lady will take off her clothes and spank her...

Li Beifeng was not surprised by Yun'er's change of name. After all, as Qing Ning's personal maid, what happened last night must not be hidden from her.

"Let me check on Qing Ning... is she awake?"

Yun'er blinked: "Miss is awake..."

"Not awake!"

Before Yun'er could finish speaking, an angry voice came from the room.

"I fell asleep...Yun'er, close the door, it's cold!"

The voice in the room was full of resentment.

When Li Beifeng heard this, he said, "Hey, does this girl still have resentment?"

"Let me see!"

With that said, Li Beifeng opened the door and was about to come in.

"Uncle, Miss, she..."

Yun'er looked a little embarrassed, the young lady wouldn't let her uncle in!

"If you don't open the door, I'll spank you later!"

Li Beifeng threatened.

"ah……"

Yun'er seemed to be frightened as if on a conditioned reflex, and quickly backed away, reaching out to cover her back subconsciously.

When he reacted, he realized that he had been cheated!

However, at this time, Li Beifeng had already opened the door and walked in.

Only Yun'er was left with a red face and an angry look... No wonder the young lady is angry, the uncle knows how to bully others!

There was only one oil lamp lit in the room, making it slightly dim.

In the room, a figure could be vaguely seen on the bed.

When Li Beifeng came to the bed, he found that the quilt on the bed was bulging and wrapped tightly... not even his head was exposed.

Hiding?

No one?

"Woke up!"

Li Beifeng spoke.

"I can't afford it!"

Shen Qingning's angry tone came from under the quilt.

"Really sorry?"

"I can't afford it!"

Still determined.

"Then can I come in?"

Li Beifeng walked to the bed and reached out to try to pull away the quilt. It turned out that the quilt was wrapped tightly and there was no way to start.

"What are you doing!"

Li Beifeng was a little helpless.

"Nothing... I don't want to see you, so hurry up and leave!"

Shen Qingning said angrily.

"Then I'm really going to leave?"

"you go!"

"Fine!"

Shen Qingning, who was under the quilt, soon heard someone standing next to her, and the sound of footsteps getting farther and farther. Finally, as the door opened and closed, there was no more sound.

Shen Qingning suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, lifted the quilt, and breathed heavily.

She almost suffocated herself to death!

That guy finally left... Shen Qingning didn't know why. Ever since what happened last night, and until she calmed down now, she hadn't thought about how to face Li Beifeng...

As soon as she saw him, Shen Qingning felt a little panicked and didn't know what to do.

Therefore, she could only use this method to temporarily make the guy angry away.

"Yun'er..."

After taking a few deep breaths, Shen Qingning was about to get up and call Yun'er over when she suddenly noticed a figure beside the bed.

Li Beifeng was standing at the head of the bed, looking at him with a condescending smile.

Looks playful!

"you you you……"

Shen Qingning had a look of panic, shame and anger on her face at that time: "Why are you still here?"

"I'm not leaving yet?"

Li Beifeng waved his hand.

Shen Qingning was extremely nervous!

Especially when she noticed the smile on Li Beifeng's face, her face turned red and she avoided looking at Li Beifeng's eyes, subconsciously trying to bury herself again.

However, this time, Li Beifeng was faster and blocked her movement.

Unable to hide under the quilt, Shen Qingning simply buried her head in the quilt and said angrily: "What are you doing here... Get out of here quickly, or I will fall out if you don't..."

From the shameful and angry look on the girl's face, Li Beifeng finally knew what was going on.

It turns out that this girl... is so thin-skinned!

I didn’t expect that!

She usually looks quite bold, but she didn't expect that what was supposed to happen now has happened, and she is actually too shy to see anyone.

However, seeing her like this, Li Beifeng did not provoke her any more.

"Okay, okay, then you have a good rest, I'll go back first!"

After making sure that the girl was fine, Li Beifeng stopped disturbing her, stood up and left the room.

The room fell silent again.

Shen Qingning's little head revealed one eye from the quilt, secretly looking at the room.

After confirming that the guy was really gone, she breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Then, thinking of what she had just done... Shen Qingning was about to cry because of her stupidity!

Then, he just gritted his teeth and said angrily: "This bastard bullied me again. He knows how to bully me... I will beat you to death..."

Seeing the young lady venting her dissatisfaction on the bed, Yun'er cautiously walked closer.

After the young lady calmed down, she asked curiously: "Miss...why didn't you want to see my uncle just now?"

"I just don't want to see you!"

Shen Qingning snorted heavily: "I haven't forgiven him yet!"

"forgive?"

Yun'er's head became even more confused.

Did my uncle do anything to feel sorry for the young lady?

Why do you still need to forgive?

Facing Yun'er's puzzled eyes, Shen Qingning's face turned slightly red, and she snorted proudly: "That's not true, last night... that guy forced me to bully me with his strength..."

"If you forgive her so easily, wouldn't it mean that this young lady is very casual and is at his mercy?"

"If you let him be manipulated so easily now, what will happen later?"

Shen Qingning was very careful and calculated, she made up her mind and gritted her teeth and said: "It's impossible for me to forgive him so quickly... If he can't coax me this time, I'll never be done with him!"

Yun'er nodded in understanding.

But I feel a little strange... Will the young lady really be angry with my uncle?

Judging from past experience, every time the young lady angrily said that she would break off the relationship with her uncle and never have any contact with her from now on, but she usually wouldn't last more than three days...

Judging from the current level of development of the young lady and uncle, it would be hard to tell in three days.

"Yun'er, are you doubting my words?" Shen Qingning glanced sideways at her.

"No no!"

Yuner shook her head and waved her hands repeatedly.

"real?"

"real!"

Yun'er promised with all her heart: "Miss, I absolutely believe in you."

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Miss, Yun'er never lies to miss!"

"Seriously, can I ask you a question?"

Shen Qingning squinted her eyes and looked at her maid meaningfully.

"Miss, feel free to ask!"

Yun'er patted her chest and said, "Miss, I will definitely not lie to you."

"Then, let me ask you..."

Shen Qingning stared at Yun'er's smooth face without blinking: "彴..."

"Do you like him?"

"..."

Beijing.

Qin Tiansi, Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.

Li Beifeng came to the top floor where the information was collected.

Since I agreed to the princess, I naturally had to help her investigate this case.

The Xie family is considered a big family in Beizhou, and Qintian Division will naturally have information about the Xie family's files.

Not long after, Li Beifeng flipped through a series of information about the Xie family in Beizhou among a row of bookshelves.

The information recorded here is not much different from what the Crown Princess said before.

The Xie family is indeed the largest family in Sunset City, Beizhou. Xie Yongrui, the head of the Xie family, is a famous figure in Beizhou.

But... just over a month ago, Xie Yongrui died suddenly at home.

The head of the Xie family died, and he died quietly at home, which naturally caused quite a stir in Sunset City.

There are many speculations from the outside world, including vendetta, assassination, and all kinds of speculations.

Of course, more people still associate Xie Yongrui's death with the dozens of officials who died suddenly in Beizhou a month ago...

Almost a month ago, dozens of officials in Beizhou died unexpectedly, and Xie Yongrui's death was almost the same as the death of these dozens of officials.

The only difference is that Xie Yongrui died much earlier.

Therefore, countless people in Beizhou have speculated that the murderer behind Xie Yongrui's death may be the old Northern Qi party.

After all, Xie Yongrui defected to the Jokhang court and became Jokhang's lackey. Especially Xie Yongrui's daughter married the Jokhang prince... This undoubtedly means that the Xie family is completely bound to Jokhang.

Therefore, it is natural for the old party of Northern Qi to liquidate the traitors and kill Xie Yongrui at the same time...

Even the intelligence in Qintiansi and all the inference clues point to this point.

There is reason and evidence, and all the evidence points to the old Northern Qi Party.

Xie Yongrui's death was probably the same as that of those Northern Qi officials.

only……

Li Beifeng looked at the file in front of him and frowned slightly.

But he felt something was not right.

Xie Yongrui's death, first of all, did not match up in time.

It has been almost half a month since Li Beifeng arrived in the capital, and it was almost a month ago when the Beizhou officials were killed.

And Xie Yongrui's death happened almost two months ago...

There was a whole month difference.

Although the ways of death are similar,...

Those who died in Beizhou were all officials from various counties in Beizhou, except for Xie Yongrui, who did not hold any official position.

If the old Northern Qi party liquidates traitors... there are countless families like the Xie family in Beizhou, and there are also many people like Xie Yongrui who have defected to Dazhao.

Why was he the only one who died?

Could it be because his daughter married Prince Da Zhao?

It's not impossible...

However, Li Beifeng felt that things might not be that simple.

especially……

When he saw in the Xie family's genealogy, Xie Yongrui had a younger brother...

Xie Yongan!

Xie Yongrui's biological brother and Xie Waner's biological uncle!

The current head of the Xie family...

When Li Beifeng's eyes fell on Xie Yongan's life story.

Li Beifeng raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

...This is a bit interesting!
