Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 74

...

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, early in the morning.

Zuixing Building, outside Li Shishi's bedroom.

Li Shishi's maid said softly: "My lady, Tianxiao, are you alright?"

The room was silent for a while, and then Li Shishi's lazy voice came out: "Get up, get ready to wash things, and then prepare the table and banquet."

The maid replied, "No."

Li Shishi said again: "What's going on outside, it quarreled with me all night."

The maid said: "Gao Yanei, the son of Gao Taiwei, was assassinated last night. Some people saw that the culprits who assassinated Gao Yanei fled to our street, and then disappeared, so since last night, officers and soldiers have been searching from house to house in our street. Those thieves."

Master Li asked: "How many days do we need to search? Have you been to our house?"

The maid said: "Who dares to search our house with my lady here... After searching for a few days, the servants don't know, but the servants heard from the aunt that we have sent thousands of officers and soldiers to the street. It seems that the gang of thieves will not be found. Wei will not let it go."

Li Shishi said: "This capital does not belong to him, Taiwei Gao, how can he be allowed to do such nonsense."

The maid asked tentatively: "How about I use my lady's name stab to find Captain Gao?"

Li Shishi "thought for a while" and said: "I don't need to be this villain, let's wait two days before making a fuss, um... do you know who the assassin is?"

The maid said: "One of them is a monk who once placed orders in Daxiangguo Temple, and his dharma name is Zhishen. There are also two female thieves. They are a pair of master and servant. Chen Liqing's father is Chen Xizhen, the prefect of Nanying here..."

"boom!"

"Snapped!"

"Um!"

Suddenly there were some strange noises in Li Shishi's room!

After hearing this, the maid asked concerned: "My lady, what's wrong with you?"

Li Shishi said: "Accidentally knocked over the clothes hanger and scraped down the flowerpot."

The maid asked: "Do you use slaves to clean up?"

Li Shishi lowered his voice and said: "The nobleman has not risen yet."

The servant girl understood, and said: "The servant girl will come to clean up later."

The room was quiet for a while, Li Shishi said again: "How come there are women who assassinated Gao Yanei?"

The maid said: "I'm afraid that Gao Yanei has committed the old disease of lust again."

Li Shishi asked: "Since you know who it is, why don't you go and arrest it, instead you search our streets endlessly?"

The maid said: "Why didn't you go? It's a pity that Chen Xizhen escaped. I heard that Chen Xizhen killed more than a dozen officers and soldiers."

Li Shishi said: "Knowing that no one can be caught, Gao Taiwei is really becoming more and more incompetent... Let them stay away from my Zuixing Tower."

The maid replied, "I'll tell you right now."

……

The maid goes away.

Chen Liqing broke away from Li Yan who was holding her and covering her mouth, and said with a blushing face: "If you dare to be unreasonable to me again, I will kill you!"

As if Li Yan didn't hear what Chen Liqing said, while looking Chen Liqing up and down, he said in his heart: "So it's pretty Li Kui, why are you so bloodthirsty?"

Seeing Li Yan ignoring her and still staring at her, Chen Liqing blushed even more, and said, "Look again, and I'll goug out your eyes!"

Li Yan smiled and said, "You can try."

When Chen Liqing heard the words, she actually raised her fists and attacked Li Yan!

If Chen Liqing had a weapon in hand, Li Yan might still be afraid of her.

Without weapons, even Wu Song, Lin Chong, and Lu Zhishen are no match for Li Yan, let alone a little Chen Liqing?
Moreover, Chen Liqing's greatest advantage, divine power, has no effect on Li Yan.

It can be said that Chen Liqing was beaten to death by Li Yanke!
Therefore, Chen Liqing was captured by Li Yan again before Shihe arrived!

Chen Liqing struggled desperately, but she couldn't get rid of Li Yan at all!

When Chen Liqing stopped struggling, Li Yancai said: "If you don't fight me anymore, I will let you go."

Chen Liqing turned her head to the side and said, "As you wish!"

Chen Liqing kicked the ball to Li Yan, but Li Yan was in a bit of a dilemma—don't let Chen Liqing go, Lu Zhishen and others are watching from the sidelines, it will affect his image, let Chen Liqing go, Chen Liqing will be endless again, it's too troublesome , if you are not careful, it will lead to troubles, which will alarm the officers and soldiers!
Eyeballs moved slightly, Li Yan said: "When I saw you just now, I didn't mean to be contemptuous of you, but I was really surprised that you and I are relatives."

While speaking, Li Yan released Chen Liqing.

Hearing Li Yan say that the two are relatives, Chen Liqing didn't fight Li Yan anymore, but said: "Don't talk nonsense, I and you are relatives, how could I not know!"

Li Yandao: "Let me ask you, do you have an uncle named Liu Mingguang?"

Chen Liqing wondered: "How do you know my uncle's name?"

Li Yandao: "Your uncle's family has a daughter named Huiniang and nicknamed Axiu, is that right?"

Chen Liqing was even more surprised, and said: "You even know my cousin's nickname!"

Li Yan said: "What's so strange, your cousin Axiu is my wife, and you are my eldest sister."

Chen Liqing said with a look of disbelief: "You married cousin Axiu?"——while saying this, Chen Liqing felt a little uncomfortable for no reason!
Li Yan smiled and said, "In seven or eight months, you will be my aunt."

Chen Liqing was somewhat resentful and curious, and said, "When did you get married, why didn't you tell my family?"

Of course Li Yan couldn't say "I married your cousin by force", but said: "I got married last year, but I don't know why I didn't tell your family."

Knowing that the two are relatives, Chen Liqing felt a little uncomfortable, and said, "Since we are relatives, I won't care about the past anymore. You will treat me from now on..."

After all, she is a big girl with yellow flowers who has not left the court, so no matter how nervous she is, it is difficult to say some things.

Li Shishi saw this, and smoothed things over by saying: "Master Li, sister of the Chen family, please shut up first, my maid will leave soon."

……

The maid took people to a good banquet and placed it in the outer room, then took her leave and left.

After the maid and others left the Zuixing Building, everyone moved the banquet into Li Shishi's bedroom to replace the remnant banquet from last night, and then began to eat breakfast.

Li Shishi took a look at the remnant seats that were randomly placed aside, and then wished Li Yan a blessing, saying: "If it's not the slaves, there are not a few people left, but I can't eat this much by myself. We can only go in and out, and we don't need one or two." Days, it will arouse suspicion, and... the officials will occasionally come to the slaves, so you guys had better make plans early."

Li Yan knew in his heart that what Li Shishi said was true!

Unlike one or two people who are easy to hide and cover up, there are seven of them, and among them are Lu Zhishen, Chen Liqing, and herself, three big eaters. Zhu Jing and Ruan Xiaoqi also have big appetites. If they can't leave as soon as possible , People will detect it only from eating.

Furthermore, if Song Huizong came over one day, who could stop him?Who dares to stop?

And there are thousands of officers and soldiers on the street.

Once their feet are exposed, they must be unable to escape.

Li Yan made a salute to Master Li and said, "I don't know if my lady has a way to send me away?"
