C45 Something Happened

A hundred thousand households lit up the door to see Hong Zhuang.

The sound of the music was even darker in the night. The street was filled with the smell of dust.

The first day of the lantern festival was much more lively than the next two days. After midnight, they could still see Hong Zhuang in the city. When they heard the music, their enthusiasm did not fade away at all. However, the conspiracy behind this liveliness also came.

The couple in the small courtyard hung on the beam with untidy clothes. A person took advantage of the darkness of the night to push open the door and very skillfully extinguished the lanterns. He held the lantern and left with a sly smile. No one knew who this person was. And what was his purpose? No one knew that he had been here before.

The next day, Lyi Xuanzhi arrived as scheduled. Early in the morning, he was studying the lanterns. No matter how hard he blew, the lanterns did not extinguish. Even when it was bright until morning, there were no signs of them extinguishing. He simply threw them on the ground. When the maidservants saw this, they hurriedly packed up. A maidservant who knew what was good for her said, "Your Highness, do you want to throw away such a beautiful lantern?" This was the maidservant who knew Mu Haiyang and had followed her brother for many years. Another maidservant said, "Sister Hong, isn't this Quan Shou's lantern? It's very rare to buy it. "

The few of them began to discuss in low voices. Lyi Xuanzhi naturally heard their words and asked, "What's so special about this lantern?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, it is said that once this lantern is lit, it will not be extinguished for three days. It will not extinguish even if it rains. Now, many nobles and nobles are fighting to buy his lantern before the lantern festival. Although he only sold ninety-nine lanterns, it was said that he only sold fated people. I don't know if it's trustworthy or not " Sister Hong told him everything she knew and added: "Your Royal Highness, just one cup is enough to make others envious."

Is this the limited edition lantern sales? It was indeed more beautiful, exquisite, and bright than other lanterns.

"Where is the Boss Quan you are talking about?" He wanted to know if he lived in that alley.

This made things difficult for Sister Hong and the others. "This servant also does not know. I only know that he will sell lanterns at the gathering before the lanterns. As for the rest..." They all shook their heads.

"Go down! Call Old Man Fang over and ask him to sober up the fifth prince." After instructing, he began to study what was so strange about the lanterns. Why was it that the lanterns could be lit up for three days and still not be extinguished by the rain?

It was late in the morning when Jiazhi woke up. He had a splitting headache and his mouth was dry. How much wine did he drink? He patted his head and felt that his nerves were all tangled together. He clicked in pain and Doctor Fang quickly let him drink the medicine.

"Uncle Faang, how long have I slept?" Jiazhi was very kind to everyone except Lyi Xuanzhi.

Uncle Faang was an old and mischievous kid. He knew that he was teasing Lyi Xuanzhi when he purposely took the Anshensan yesterday, but he was very attentive to Jiazhi. "You have slept for twelve hours. You don't have to go to Yuanxiang Building today."

"What about Haiyang?" He just casually asked.

"She won't leave. Don't worry!" His heart was relieved, and his head still hurt, so he helped him lie down again. He closed the door and went to answer Lyi Xuanzhi's order to avoid provoking him again.

He glanced at Uncle Faang's figure and said, "Old man, come and see what's going on?"

Uncle Faang was a Jianghu doctor who had received the favor of the former king. His medical skills were superb. Even more so. He knew some of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, and could be considered a genius. The Royal Highness, who Zeng Yingno had passed away, would definitely protect the two princes while they were still alive. That was why he had stayed in King Lyi's mansion all this time, and had also become free and unfettered. He would do whatever he wanted to do, research what he wanted, and he would still have to pay for it. What reason was there to leave? Although Lyi Xuanzhi had been rude to him all day long, he understood in his heart: He had long regarded him as one of his own people. Uncle Faang had his own courtyard in Lyi mansion, and he had planted some strange herbs there. He also invented some strange things. No one in Lyi mansion cared about him. He was used to not disturbing him when he had nothing to do.

He picked up the lantern and looked at it carefully. He really could not tell what it was for a while, but he did not dare to forcefully open it to see what it was.

A soldier in a military uniform ran in and said urgently, "Your Royal Highness, something happened. A man and a woman were hanged in the eastern alley."

The eastern alley? Didn't he find anything wrong with the place he went last night? He handed the lantern to Uncle Faang and followed the soldiers out.

When they arrived at this place, there were already many onlookers gathered. There were also two people who were crying and cursing at each other, blocking the alley. Only then did they realize that this alley was only one wall away from the alley from last night, and the lanterns from last night were nowhere to be seen. They had already changed into normal lanterns.

"Who died?" He asked.

One of them answered: "Minister Lin's eldest son and Scholar Gu's daughter. Both of their clothes hung on the beams of the house, looking at the situation at the scene, it seems like they committed suicide "

He quickly walked into the room where the accident had occurred. The corpse had already been laid on the ground, and his clothes had also been tidied up. It was not that embarrassing. Lyi Xuanzhi went forward to check the corpse. Indeed, he did not find any wounds other than hanging it.

"It's normal that he did not return at night during the lantern festival. How did he find out? "

" Reporting to Your Highness, it was Scholar Gu who found out that his daughter had escaped from her room and searched everywhere. Only then did he find out that someone saw her and Minister Lin's son enter this place and found out that it was like this. "

It seemed that Scholar Gu was unwilling to see his daughter interact with the Lin Family, so he locked her in his room and continued to ask, "How is the relationship between the Gu Family and the Lin Family?"

"The two families often quarreled with each other because one of the officials in the court strictly required the Lin Family to pay tribute. There were several times when the Lin family's assets were returned, resulting in them being unable to hand in the goods and being punished. However, Young Master Lin and Gu Qianyun have secretly developed feelings for each other, and they have agreed to leave together in the next few days. " That person reported everything according to the information he had.

"Do you know why Schoolmaster Gu is doing this?" Why is he only capturing the Lin family and not letting them go?

"This subordinate does not know." Who could know the cause and effect of this? The simple thing was nothing more than a struggle for benefits, and a deeper part was the hatred between countries and families.

"Let Chou record it down, then hand the corpse over to his relatives, and maintain the current situation at the scene." After giving instructions, he carefully inspected it with questions in his mind.

Lyi Xuanzhi still did not believe that the two of them had committed suicide, but the signs were clear. Because he had not found a reason for the two of them to commit suicide, he did not believe it.

Mu Haiyang, who was rushing to the Yuanxiang Building, saw that there were three layers surrounding them. If she went in, she would go wherever it was lively. She also liked to go wherever it was lively like a dead person. While the surrounding people were talking at the same time, she roughly understood what had happened. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. She squeezed into the crowd and saw the familiar courtyard. Wasn't this the courtyard where he had peeked at the couple the other day? No way? What a coincidence! He then asked the people around him who were watching the show. "A dead man, the eldest young master of the Lin family, the daughter of the Gu family. Isn't this still causing a ruckus? " One of them even pointed at the family members of the two families who were crying and making noise.

Mu Haiyang begged the military officer who was guarding the border, "Sir, let me go in and take a look."

"No! Those who are not involved, withdraw!" She refused with dignity.

After pleading a few more times, he still refused to let her in.

Hmph ~ If you don't let me in, then you have your own way of entering. She wasn't a busybody, but if she ran into her, she would definitely intervene. She walked to the back of the alley and saw that there was no one there, so she jumped onto the roof. She was discovered by Lyi Xuanzhi the moment she landed. He picked up a stone with one hand and flicked it towards where Mu Haiyang landed. The force was just enough to shoot down the hard tile. Mu Haiyang stepped into the air and directly broke through the house and landed. The moment she fell, she imagined that there should not be a man. A princess hug and then firmly catch her and spin a few rounds? Thinking of this, she closed her eyes and waited for someone to catch her. In fact, she fell in front of Lyi Xuanzhi and ate sh * t. She had completely destroyed the scene.
