Chapter 427 You Think Too Much
As a result of going through the clues all day long, she followed the clues and finally suspected Mrs. Bi.

"I always feel that he is very mysterious, although there seems to be no problem at all.

"I heard that he is 67 years old, so he is about the same age as Wen Chan. I want to see if I recognize him."

"Do you suspect that he is the murderer behind the scenes?" Xiao Huai quickly caught the key point of her words and walked up to her.

Shen Xi didn't speak, but silence meant yes.

So far she has not seen Mrs. Bi's real face, and her understanding of him is only superficial.

In the past, she had an impression of anyone who was famous in Daqin, or someone who could make enemies with Prince Cheng's mansion.

Mrs. Bi, Bi Shangyun, this name is completely unfamiliar to her.

But the name can be changed, and his age and the status he has achieved now are in line with the characteristics of the murderer behind it in the past.

So she had to meet to see if her guess was right.

Xiao Huai didn't ask any more questions, walked to the desk and sat down, picked up the paperweight on the table and dialed twice, said: "It's easy to meet him, but it's hard to make him not suspicious.

"He hasn't shown up in recent years, and even when he leaves the house, he keeps a low profile.

"You and I are not married yet, if I take you to see him suddenly, since it's not suitable for etiquette, if he is really the murderer you think, he will definitely be suspicious."

Shen Xi sat down, held the pot and poured two cups of candied date tea.

She knew that there must be difficulty, but it was because of the difficulty that she came to him.

"Is there really no other way?"

Shen Xi looked up.

He thought for a while and said: "It's just that I want to meet, it's not okay to be explicit, you can also come secretly.

"However, the defense of Taifu's mansion is also very strict. Even if I take you there, arrangements must be made."

"How strict is it?" Shen Xi said, "Compared to the palace?"

Qi Jiu used to be the shadow guard of the palace, as long as it is not stricter than the palace, and they don't plan to make any big moves, they should not be in doubt.

"Of course it's not as good as in the palace. But since you have doubts, I can't take you there just to meet him, and I have to find other flaws anyway.

"So don't be careless."

Xiao Huai rubbed his forehead at this point, and the words at the end were a little vague.

Shen Xi nodded.Seeing that he was rubbing his forehead, he said again: "You drank wine, do you want to make hangover soup? I'll go and order the chef."

Xiao Huai shook his head, and patted the open space beside him: "It's good to be with you for a while. I'll take you back later."

Shen Xi obediently cuddled up to him, and half-lyed down to rest with him.

Both of them seem to have something on their minds.

He clasped his fingers on his belly, closed his eyes, but frowned slightly habitually.

After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes again: "Don't think too much.

"The Taifu is a scholar. I have never seen him show his martial arts. Li Ding saved him several times in the past. First of all, this is not in line with your guess.

"Furthermore, he is by Li Ding's side who arrived only after Daqin's war broke out.

"At that time, there were rebellious parties all over Jiangxi and Guangxi, and after the imperial court suppressed them, he only went to Li Ying to conspire with Li Ying when the court situation was relatively stable.

"If he was the murderer, where was he in those intervening years?

"The most important thing is that Li Ding raised his army more than 20 years ago. At that time, the dynasty was still alive, and many Qin officials even met him face to face.

"But no one has ever said that he knows him, let alone his relationship with Prince Cheng's Mansion or the clan of the Qin Dynasty.

"Are you saying you're thinking too much?"

Even though Shen Xi had thought about it over and over again, it was still like a bucket of cold water had been poured on him at this moment.

The person who was able to do so many things in the past and erase all traces of murder for Wen Chan would definitely not be an ordinary person.

And he must have a lot of background.How could such a person not know anyone in the capital?

Could it be that she is really going to the doctor in a hurry?

Seeing her listless, Xiao Huai regretted speaking too bluntly, reached out to stroke her temples and said, "Don't worry about so many things for now.

"Isn't it enough for you to be busy with the affairs of the mansion and a school dormitory? Just leave this matter to me."

She sighed and said nothing more.

In fact, Xiao Huai didn't drink much, and he didn't want to hurt her confidence.

But if Mrs. Bi was really someone important in the previous court, then Shen Xi knew it, and Xu Jing must also know it.

He Lanzhun had met Mrs. Bi more than once or twice, if he had, he would have recognized him long ago, why would he need to wait until she went to see him?

In his heart, he didn't want her to be in danger, and he had decided earlier that this matter would be handled by him and He Lanzhun, so after much deliberation, he really didn't intend to take her to take risks.

The first quarter moon hangs low in the sky, reflecting the shimmering light of the river.

After He Lanzhun bid farewell to Xiao Huai and the others, he was not in a hurry to return to the palace.

Instead, he walked his horse along the bank of the Tongzi River in a leisurely manner.

On the third lap, the waiter caught up and handed him a rolled note: "I just received it."

He reined in his horse, looked down at the imprint on the scroll, and quickly unfolded it with his hands. After reading it, he frowned, then fell silent for a while, and then said, "Is there any other news?"

"No more." The waiter said respectfully.

He remained silent for a while, then said, "Go to Dongyang Street."

After the sound of horseshoes went away, a figure turned from behind the big willow tree on the river bank, looked at their direction twice, and then walked quickly in the opposite direction...

When Shen Xi returned to Minxiangyuan, Wang'er came in after him.

"After the girl went out just now, the person that the girl let the little one stare at really went out!

"The little one followed for a while. He went to the Sanqing Temple on Beimen Street, but the little one couldn't enter the temple, so I didn't see what he was doing."

"How long have you been there? When did you come back?" She stopped in the courtyard and asked.

"I went out for an hour. When I went there, it was not until the time of Xu, and when I returned, it was just at the end of Xu."

Shen Xili thought for a while, then said: "Understood." Then asked: "Is there anyone else who came to follow?"

Xiao Huai did not come to Shen's house for the next few days.

At first she thought he was really busy, but he still had time to pick out snacks for her when he passed by the dim sum shop.

There are still people who are free to ask the embroiderer to come to Shen's house to measure her and make clothes for the new season.

She deeply felt that if he was so busy that he didn't even have the time to come and say a few words, then he wouldn't remember these things.

It seems that he guessed that he would pester him to take her to see the Tai Tuo.

Today, I went to Mei's house for an appointment.

Shen Xi and Shen Yan were sitting in the same carriage, and in the midst of many things on his mind, Shen Xi remembered the engagement, and suddenly asked Shen Yan: "Where did you and Huo Jiu go that day?"

Shen Yan's face turned red when she mentioned this, and she murmured for a long time before saying: "I went to his mansion. I will come back after saying a few words."

"Oh? What did you say?" She laughed.

Shen Yan blushed even more, but she still told her the exact words.

Shen Xi also smiled after hearing this.

After a while, she calmed down again and said, "That's fine too."
