Chapter 59 Uncle Controls Li Beimu

Tang respectfully kowtowed and stood up, "Back to the Emperor, the previous chief was dismissed due to dereliction of duty. The new chief has not yet been found, so the autopsy has not yet been carried out."

Hearing this, Nan Xi became interested: "It's me! Mr. Tang, look for me!"

[Don’t miss such a good opportunity to earn merit points. 】

Tang Qingqing also had this intention, but he didn't dare to make the decision himself.

He looked up at Li Qingmo.

Nan Xi also said, "Master, let me go."

She pinched Li Qingmo's sleeve and shook it slightly. This unruly movement shocked Li Beimu and Tang Qingqing, but Xia Rui and Lan Jue had long been accustomed to it.

"Master, this case happened in the capital. It is a slap in your face. I will definitely cooperate with the Emperor and Master Tang to catch the murderer as soon as possible so that the people can live in peace."

She smiled darkly at Li Qing, and even she herself was not aware of this habitual act of coquettishness.

Li Qingmo slowly put down the teacup in his hand, looked at her, and after a long moment said, "Go back home at the same time."

This is his only request.

Nan Xi responded quickly: "Thank you, Master!"

It was too late today, and the case was not solved immediately. Li Qingmo insisted that Nan Xi go back to rest first, and Li Beimu also went to the Regent's Palace by the way.

Until the next day, after breakfast, Li Qingmo took Xia Rui to Gongyuan and left Lan Jue with Nan Xi.

What it says in name is: "Protect the Emperor well."

But Lan Jue knew that I wanted to take good care of Miss Nan.

As for the emperor?

I have replaced him with a new batch of secret guards overnight. This time, no one dares to lose the emperor. After all, it will cause his head to fall.

After Li Qingmo left, Li Beimu let out a deep breath, and his tense shoulders suddenly drooped, as if they were suddenly relaxed.

"Goodbye, Master."

"See you in the evening, Master."

Nan Xi kept waving at Li Qingmo's back.

Li Beimu was a little curious: "Have you become your disciple to my uncle?"

Nan Xi shook his head: "I haven't formally bowed yet. Master said that we should choose a good and auspicious day before bowing."

Li Beimu was also out of the palace for the first time. He didn't know much about these things, so he nodded, "What did the emperor teach you?"

"Easy work."

"My qinggong was also taught by the emperor's uncle!" Li Beimu seemed to have suddenly found a close friend, "No wonder I feel that your qinggong seems familiar to me."

The two talked for a while, and the familiarity from yesterday returned, and Nan Xi became bolder.

It turns out that the emperor is not so scary.

"Your Majesty, why are you so afraid of Master?" Nan Xi couldn't help but ask.

Li Beimu corrected her with a serious expression: "I am not afraid of the emperor's uncle, but out of respect. My father left early, and it was the emperor's uncle who supported me to the throne against all the opinions. He has been protecting me all these years. Without him, there would be no me.”

Nan Xi did not doubt Li Beimu's words, after all, he was an uncle in the original work.

"Girl, everything you asked for is ready." Lan Jue was holding a two-palm-sized wooden box in his hand. Inside were the tools Nan Xi asked him to prepare for the autopsy.

"Your Majesty, Lord Tang is here, waiting outside." Lan Jue said again.

Li Beimu was wearing new clothes at the moment, with a straight back, a tall jade tree, and clear eyes. He looked like an emperor and never talked nonsense.

"Ah."

He only responded before getting up and walking outside.

Nan Xi followed behind, looking at him from the corner of his eye from time to time.

This little emperor is quite powerful, and he is worthy of being trained by his master.

"I am here to see you, Your Majesty." Tang knelt down and bowed respectfully.Li Beimu put one hand behind his back, and Nan Xi found that his profile looked quite similar to Li Qingmo's.

"Pingsheng." Li Beimu said, "I don't have to be so polite when I'm out, dear. I don't want to reveal my identity."

Tang Jingjing stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Wei Chen understands."

After leaving the Regent's Palace, Tang Jingxin changed his name to "Master". He also changed his outfit and took off his official clothes, so that he would not be so conspicuous when walking on the street.

They first came to the entrance of the alley where the body was found.

"This is right here. A man ran from here to the south." Li Beimu pointed to them, then lowered his head and looked at the ground.

The rain last night was too heavy and the blood was washed away. There are very few clues available here.

Nan Xi walked into the alley and checked carefully, but found nothing.

"Let's go take a look at the body first," Nan Xi said.

The body was placed in the prison.

When several people arrived, they happened to encounter a woman yelling at the cell door.

"Just let me see my wife. Please, I made him his favorite glutinous rice chicken, let him eat it and then go on the road."

"Go away! Are you the one who wants to see the condemned prisoner? If he starts playing tricks again, I'll arrest you too!" The guard guarding the door pushed the woman to the ground.

The food box in her hand fell apart, and the glutinous rice chicken rolled with a layer of dirt. She picked it up carefully while crying.

Li Beimu bent down to help, "Auntie, are you okay?"

The next moment, the woman who fell to the ground had sharp eyes, pulled out a dagger from the food box and stabbed Li Beimu.

"Your Majesty, be careful!" Lan Jue rushed over in one stride.

Nan Xi also immediately pulled Li Beimu back.

Qinggong was still useful at the critical moment, and the two of them dodged the dagger together.

Tang Jingjing quickly called for people to surround the woman.

The woman couldn't beat Lan Jue, and after being kicked to the ground, she bit the poison hidden under her tongue without hesitation and committed suicide.

Lan Jue frowned and bent down to check, then shook his head, "Dead."

The lips were bruised and the blood spilled from the corners of the mouth was black.

"It's poisoning," Nan Xi said.

Tang Jingjing quickly asked people to carry the body away, while Lan Jue summoned a shadow guard, "Go and report to me."

"Yes." The shadow guard flashed past and quickly disappeared.

Nan Xi looked at Li Beimu and asked, "Are you okay?"

Li Beimu shook his head, "Thank you for saving me just now."

If Nan Xi hadn't caught him in time, he would have been injured even if he reacted quickly.

Nan Xi looked at the 10 extra merit points on the system panel and smiled brightly: "Then let's go in for the autopsy first."

The cell was dark and cool, and Tang Qingzong ordered some oil lamps to be lit.

The woman's body was placed in the middle, covered with a white cloth.

When Nan Xi came closer, he could still smell the smell of blood mixed with the smell of rain.

Lan Jue opened the wooden box, Nan Xi took out the gloves from inside, put them on, and began to inspect.

"There were many external injuries on the body of the deceased, which may have been caused by abuse before death. There were signs of being tied up on his wrists and ankles. His fingernails were pulled out. There were many serious injuries on his lower body, which must have been caused by sharp objects."

Nan Xi turned the body over and saw the scars all over his back. Although they were all skin injuries, they were red and swollen and looked very scary.

Li Beimu faced a dead body for the first time and couldn't help but frown: "What hatred and grudge caused this person to do this? When the murderer is caught, I will cut him into pieces."
