With a heavy heart, Li Huai returned to the Hou Mansion, but when he got off the car, there was a sound of joy over there.

Li Huai's mood suddenly broke down and he looked up in shock.

The first thing you see is the wide open gate of the Hou Mansion, as well as many of his relatives - his mother Liu, his wife Wei Ruxi, and so on.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Li Huai walked over quickly.

Mrs. Liu took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "I heard that you showed off your prowess on the hunting ground and made the name of the Marquis House famous. You were also praised by officials. Even many nobles were convinced, and I am very happy for my mother."

Li Huai was stunned. He didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. He turned around and saw the youngest Li Shen in the crowd. He couldn't help but understand something in his heart. He followed him and said to Mrs. Liu: "Mother also knows that I

The reason why I was able to make meritorious service in the hunting ground was because there was a turmoil. This matter involves a wide range of things and it is hard to make it public..."

Mrs. Liu understood it as soon as she heard it, so she nodded and said, "I know it, so I'll let you go." She gave the order, and Li Qu and others immediately got busy.

Li Huai looked at Li Shen again and asked, "There are so many things going on today that I didn't even take the time to visit my third uncle. What's going on over there? Has his condition improved?"

Suddenly, he thought that the reason why Li Shen arrived in the west of the city was actually because of his third uncle Li Yu's sleep talk while he was in a coma. Could this be related? Is there any connection?

Those silent figures flashed through his mind, and Li Huai couldn't help but worry about his third uncle.

Li Shen said quickly: "Third uncle is getting better and has woken up. I just went to see him. He ate several bowls of rice porridge and said he wanted to come over to see you. I persuaded him so he didn't come over.

.”

"woke up?"

This result surprised Li Huai, but he was relieved immediately.

"That's a good thing," he nodded and asked again, "By the way, where is the address that Third Uncle mentioned before? You never made it clear."

"The third uncle didn't say it clearly. He just said that at the end of the neighborhood in the west of the city, near the houses under the city wall, there is an old locust tree in the middle, and the house next to the tree..."

"What did you say?" Li Huai suddenly became alert, "Old locust tree?"

"Yes, what the third uncle is talking about is the house next to an old locust tree in the innermost of the poor houses in the west of the city. In order to find that house, I walked around for a long time before attracting so many people."

Li Shen became confused, "What's wrong?"

Li Shen doesn't know what's going on in the west of the city, otherwise he wouldn't be so peaceful.

Li Huai didn't intend to tell him, so he shook his head and said, "Nothing." But he became more and more confused, because there was an old locust tree next to the yard where those people with distorted faces were.

He took a deep breath and asked again: "By the way, you said there was a middle-aged man who talked to you there before. If you meet again, can you recognize him?"

Li Shen said without hesitation: "I have a profound memory, I will definitely be able to identify it."

"That's good, I may need you to identify recently..." Li Huai did not finish what he said. After all, identifying corpses and other things would frighten children if he said it now.

After finishing this matter and arranging time to visit Li Yu early tomorrow morning, Li Huai walked into the mansion.

However, my thoughts are still entangled with the word "old locust tree", but after thinking about it, I just feel complicated and have a headache.

"Forget it, my specialty is not in solving cases, and the books I write are not of the criminal investigation type. Why waste my brain cells? The key is to rely on keen observation and excellent eloquence! You must have a good rest and recharge your batteries.

yes."

"Relying on eloquence? Complaining? 1 point."

Li Huai ignored the system narration, and the beautiful lady opposite came over and chattered a lot. The first words were because of Li Huai's outstanding performance in the hunting ground, which made her admire her more and more. The second words were a bit interesting.

It was the commotion in other rooms and the fact that she had punished a maid in another courtyard today. Finally, the old lady Liu stepped forward to act as peacemaker.

"...The female envoys in this mansion are too unruly. The mansion was too chaotic before. Do you think we should establish some rules?" Finally, Wei Ruxi asked in a low voice, her eyes full of expectation.

Li Huai couldn't help but sneer secretly when he saw it.

I knew this was a scene, it was a house fight, so it seemed like a female porn drama was going on in the backyard that I wasn't paying attention to.

Thinking that he has rich experience, Li Huai said that he would not fall into this trap. After all, he is just a background in the backyard drama, so he can just do his job with peace of mind.

"You should discuss this matter with your mother. I won't be able to interfere." Then Li Huai silently added in his heart that his husband's situation is different now and he has embarked on... uh, the avenue of criminal investigation? Is there any mistake?

After thinking about this, Li Huaidun felt frustrated and felt that he had not fulfilled the characteristics of his position and title.

"I have to live a good life these days." He decided to enjoy life first, and as for making up classes, he could take it easy for now.

Wei Ruxi was dissatisfied, but seeing Li Huai's appearance, he didn't dare to insist, so he could only nod in agreement.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chang suddenly came over to report that the yellow flag was coming.

This news immediately shattered Li Huaigang's decision.

When I learned from Huang Qi that the emperor really wanted to let him enter the palace, and he was very anxious, it would be tomorrow morning.

"This... is not easy to fool." Shaking his head, Li Huai stopped Huang Qi and stopped talking.

"Does the Marquis have anything to say that we should present to His Majesty?" Huang Qi asked with a smile.

Li Huai finally shook his head and swallowed his intention to ask whether the palace was short of manpower.

Huang Qi didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "The Marquis has made great achievements today, but there are still some things in the city, and His Majesty also has to discuss it with all the gentlemen, so he will postpone it to tomorrow."

"That's it." Li Huaigong held up his hand and said, "I'm here to serve Huang." With a wave of his hand, Li Wu went over and handed over the broken silver he had prepared.

Huang Qi took it over with a smile and said: "Master Marquis, you have to pay attention to the matter on the west side of the city. Your Majesty is very concerned about this now."

"Thank you, Mr. Huang, for reminding me." Li Huai nodded, thinking that the money was really not wasted, and these eunuchs are worthy of admiration, they are very dedicated and honest.

I don't know why, but he feels close to these people who have physical defects but more complete personalities.

However, as soon as the yellow flag went away, the sense of urgency set in.

"With so many deaths in the west of the city, it must be a big event, but the ones who are still alive are not dead. I was just ordered by the emperor to investigate the case. Apart from this matter, there is no one who wants to mess with me, right? This is too generous.

Yes, Eunuch Huang kindly reminded me to make preparations in advance, but the problem..."

He took a deep breath, feeling that the plot was a bit too tight.

Now that this big event is over, shouldn't it be time to give it a rest? Why don't you even have time to eat?

With deep reluctance and vague rejection, Li Huai still gave the order, saying that he wanted to take a nap, but instead of returning to the dormitory, he turned to the study.

After walking in and asking Li Wu to guard outside, Li Huai hesitated for a moment, then found the pieces of paper stained with blood and looked at the intermittent words on them. He thought for a while and shook his head.

"I have no clue, maybe it's just a coincidence."

After putting the things away again, Li Huai lay on the couch in his clothes, hesitated for a moment, and finally said silently in his heart: "Double-open Liver Emperor, bloom!"

Suddenly, in his consciousness, a branch appeared. There was a flower bud on the tip of the branch, slowly opening. And on the other side of the flower, there was another branch with a flower blooming on it.

.

Li Huai looked dull and said silently again: "Two flowers bloomed, one branch on each side. If you want to know what happened next, please listen to the explanation next time!"
