Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 398 Rivals in Love
No one knew exactly what happened that year, which made his investigation deadlocked for a while.

Hao Ren obviously knew some inside information, but he has been imprisoned for more than ten years, and he probably won't fully trust everyone. If he wants to know what happened back then, it may not be easy.

After thinking about it, Li Canghai felt that he couldn't bet all his hopes on Hao Ren.

In fact, apart from Hao Ren, he can still conduct investigations from other aspects, but this depends on whether Cui Huan can find the three law divisions who tried the case in time.

The reason why Li Canghai wanted to find them was not only that they were the main people who tried the case, but also that they all resigned after the case was over.

After the case, the three justices resigned almost simultaneously within the same year.

However, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials was killed on the way back to his hometown, and the minister of Dali Temple disappeared.

It stands to reason that they should be rewarded for uncovering the case of Qin Fu's collusion with the enemy and treason, and their future is bright, but they resigned at this time. This kind of unreasonable thing, in Li Canghai's view, is likely to be hidden. Hidden secrets.

"There are only three days left. I hope Master Cui will find the old Yushi doctor as soon as possible, and maybe he can get some truth from him." Li Canghai thought secretly while holding a piece of fat and juicy meat with his chopsticks.

Suddenly, his foot was stepped on suddenly.

Li Canghai raised his head in a daze, and found that Di Huai, who was sitting on his left, was winking at him.

"Brother, why are you facial paralyzed?" Li Canghai asked puzzled.

Di Huai immediately rolled his eyes, and quickly raised his chin at him, Li Canghai turned his head suddenly.

Di Qing and Li Yu were sitting on his right side. At this time, Li Yu was busy serving food for Di Qing, while Di Qing was staring at Li Yu fiercely.

Every time Li Yu puts a dish into Di Qing's bowl, Di Qing transfers the dish to Li Canghai.

"Miss Qing, this is delicious. These are bear's paws baked with honey. Eating them can beautify your face!" Li Yu directly brought a plate of bear's paws to Di Qing with a smile.

But Di Qing didn't like him very much. She snatched the bear's paw, put it in front of Li Canghai, and said softly: "Canghai, you've been too tired to solve the case recently, eat more good food to nourish your body."

Li Canghai looked at Li Yu, who had black lines on his face, and then at Di Qing, who was smiling. He touched his nose involuntarily.

"Damn, did Li Yu fall in love with Qing'er?" Li Canghai stared at Li Yu strangely, the more he thought about it, the more likely he felt.

Otherwise, why would Li Yu, a dignified descendant of the royal family, be so condescending to curry favor with Di Qing?
"Ahem, the prince's visit to the humble house this time really makes the humble house flourish. I will toast the prince." Seeing this, Di Ying hurriedly picked up the wine glass and said.

Seeing that Di Qing and Li Canghai were so close, Li Yu couldn't help but feel a little downcast, but he couldn't refuse a toast from the host, so he raised his glass and said, "You're welcome, my king has always admired Duke Di, and this time I can come to Di Home is also my king's good fortune. Besides, I want to learn the way of investigating cases from Mr. Di, so I may have to bother you for a few more days at Di's house, and I hope you will take care of me!"

Di Ying and Di Huai looked at each other, they felt a little surprised, they didn't know why Li Yu came here this time, they thought he was just here as a guest.

"Who did the prince learn how to detect cases?" Di Huai asked in surprise.

Li Yu sat up straight, held his wine glass, and respected Li Canghai: "Of course it's Li Canghai, Lord Li!"

Li Yu drank the wine in the glass and said excitedly: "You don't know, I have always been more interested in reasoning and judging cases. It is really my luck to meet Mr. Li this time. I have already paid homage to him. As a teacher, this must be a lot of trouble, ha... ha ha."

Di Huai and Di Ying showed astonishment, they exchanged eye contact, and immediately smiled.

It is unbelievable that the dignified King Su actually worshiped Li Canghai as his teacher!

However, this kind of inconceivability is an out-and-out good thing for the Di family.

Although Li Canghai is not yet married to Di Qing, the Di family has long recognized him as a son-in-law. Now that Li Canghai has become King Su's teacher, doesn't it mean that his Di family has also climbed up the big tree of King Su?

Although King Su doesn't have much influence, he is a descendant of the royal family after all!

Think about it, Uncle Di's family has become King Su's teacher, if it gets out, the reputation of Di's family will not increase?
The two looked at each other, and immediately made a decision to let Li Canghai and Di Qing get married as soon as possible!

No matter what, Li Canghai and the others definitely recognized him.

To the Di family, Li Canghai was far more precious than a prince.

Not only because Di Qing likes it, but more importantly, the current prestige of the Di family is all due to Li Canghai.

Only Li Canghai can revive Di Renjie's reputation.

"My lord, I didn't say I would take you as an apprentice! Didn't we agree before that I teach you to reason and solve cases, it's purely for the help of friends. You can call me Mr., but it's definitely not a teacher-student relationship. " Li Canghai said seriously.

Li Yu scratched his head, squinted his eyes, and said with a chuckle: "Sir, I forgot about my excitement. Sir, I offer you a toast!"

As he spoke, Li Yu raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Li Canghai had no choice but to accompany him for a drink.

Di Qing was a little displeased, she pointed at Li Yu's nose, and said, "So, doesn't it mean that he will live in our house for a long time?"

Li Yu laughed, nodded hurriedly, and said, "Miss Qing, I hope you will take care of me in the future, haha!"

"Go away! Damn it!" Seeing Li Yu approaching, Di Qing immediately wrinkled her nose and said displeasedly.

"Qing'er, don't be rude to the prince!" Di Huai said hastily.

"Brother~." Di Qing called coquettishly, and then said with wide-eyed almonds: "He is just a nuisance, he follows him all day long, and he can't be driven away!"

"You girl, alas, we really spoiled you." Di Huai shook his head in embarrassment, and hurriedly picked up his wine glass and said to Li Yu: "My lord, Qing'er is not sensible, my lord, don't want to be as knowledgeable as her. Your Majesty apologized."

"Hey~, this king said that Miss Qing has a straightforward temperament, and it's too late for this king to like her, so how can she blame her?" Li Yu laughed loudly.

Di Huai and Di Ying suddenly had a black line on their foreheads.

The two secretly looked at Li Canghai, and found that Li Canghai was silent, as if he hadn't heard anything at all, and they became anxious immediately.

This Li Yu has already made his words clear, but Li Canghai is indifferent, what on earth is he thinking?

Li Canghai didn't take it seriously in his heart, he really ignored what Li Yu said.

"Qing'er, he is a prince after all, so we should be more polite when we talk about it. Otherwise, if it reaches the ears of the Holy Majesty, the Holy Majesty will think that we have offended the royal family!" Li Canghai smiled slightly.

After saying these words, Di Qing immediately nodded and leaned on Li Canghai's shoulder affectionately.

The actions of the two of them made Li Yu almost vomit blood.

Li Canghai said it lightly, but these words clearly showed the relationship between the two.

Are you kidding me, Li Canghai is not a pedantic Taoist master, let alone a weak character, if someone wants to take his woman away, if he doesn't even fart, is he still a man?
Li Canghai didn't care if he was the prince or whoever he was, even if the emperor came in person, he would never want to take Di Qing away.

This is not only the man's responsibility, but also a promise to Di Qing!
However, Li Canghai still gave Li Yu enough face, he didn't say it directly, but used a more reserved way.

To be honest, he didn't want to get into trouble with Li Yu, after all, having one more friend was far more cost-effective than having one more enemy.

The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became weird.

Di Huai stroked his chin, looked at the three of them, and then thought of a way to resolve the embarrassment.

He groaned, rubbed his hands together and said: "It's rare that the prince doesn't dislike the humble house. Since the prince wants to stay in the humble house, the humble house is naturally welcome. Well, Qing'er, didn't you learn the sword dance technique from Aunt Gongsun? Why don't you Practice it for us to see, it will also help the wine."

Di Qing nodded, and proudly said: "Okay, then I will let you all see, Aunt Gongsun's sword dance skills!"

Saying that, Di Qing ordered the maid to get a long sword.

Holding the sword in hand, Di Qing's long sleeves fluttered, and the sword flew out of the dragon, dancing on the spot.

"In the past, there was a beautiful woman named Gongsun, who moved her sword in all directions with her sword dance. The viewers were as depressed as the mountains, and the sky and the earth were depressed for a long time." Li Canghai couldn't help sighing when he saw Di Qing performing the sword dance.

It is rumored that Aunt Gongsun is not only skilled in swordsmanship, but also in dancing.

Du Fu wrote "Swordsmanship" because he saw his disciples dancing swords, Zhang Xu watched his aunt dancing swords, and his cursive writing has improved since then, and he is very grateful.

Although Li Canghai has never seen Aunt Gongsun dance sword, but from Di Qing, it can be seen that Aunt Gongsun's swordsmanship is superb, and it is absolutely the best in the past and present.

"Good swordsmanship! Good dance skills! Good skills! Miss Qing is really talented, this is the most true sword dance technique I have ever seen from Aunt Gongsun! Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!" Li Yu seemed to have forgotten the previous relationship between the two parties. Embarrassed, I couldn't help but praise.

"My lord has actually seen Aunt Gongsun dancing sword?" Li Canghai asked in surprise.

"When I was young in the palace, I once saw Aunt Gongsun dancing a sword. At that time, Aunt Gongsun's dance was amazing, so I have never forgotten it. But since Aunt Gongsun retired, I have never seen such a sword dance. The skill of sword dance, I didn't expect Miss Qing to get the true biography of Aunt Gongsun! Wonderful!" Li Yu praised.

"I see." Li Canghai smiled.

The two raised their wine glasses and toasted each other, laughing at the same time.

While admiring the skill of sword dance, Li Yu leaned close to Li Canghai and said in a low voice, "Sir, you and Miss Qing are not married yet, right?"

Li Canghai nodded, and said unceremoniously: "No, what do you want? Let me tell you, don't make Qinger's idea, otherwise I will not spare you!"

"Look at what Mr. Qing said, didn't I not know about your relationship with Miss Qing before? This common saying is good, a gentle lady is a gentleman. Besides, Miss Qing is a fairy-like person, who wouldn't like it? However, now that I know that my husband and Miss Qing are in love, how dare I have any unreasonable thoughts about her? After all, in name, you are a teacher and I am a student. What about trespassing?" Li Yu chattered a lot and said with a smile.

Li Canghai looked at him strangely, but there was a sneer in his heart: This kind of arrogance seems to be the tradition of your Li family, right?Tang Gaozong Li Zhi fell in love with Li Shimin's concubine Wu Meiniang, and Li Longji fell in love with his son's concubine, Yang Yuhuan.This kind of thing can only be done by your Li family. Do you think I will believe your nonsense?

However, slander belongs to slander, but Li Canghai didn't intend to expose him.

Although people in the world know this kind of thing well, who dares to say it?

Unless it's a birthday guy who eats arsenic and thinks his life will be long!

"Then why are you asking this?" Li Canghai asked casually.

Li Yu squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Sir, please don't misunderstand me. I was wondering if Grandpa Huang should give you a marriage."

Li Canghai smiled indifferently, and said: "Your Majesty, please worry about it, but I have an agreement with Qing'er on this matter, and we will make plans after eradicating 'Nilin Xuanwu'."

"Well, since my husband has already made a decision, I can't say more." Li Yu smiled, then looked at Di Qing, who was in the middle of the sword dance, and praised: "Miss Qing is really good at it! This sword dance If the technique can join the battle, it will be wonderful!"

Li Canghai also nodded. Indeed, as he said, Di Qing's sword dance skills are not only highly entertaining, but also practical.If you can join the battle, it will definitely present another sensory experience.

It's just that few of them know martial arts, so who will be Di Qing's opponent?
The two brothers Ben Bo Erba and Ba Bo Erben teamed up, and they could barely make a few moves against Di Qing, but the image of the two is really not worth mentioning. If they were to fight against Di Qing, it would be a pity for Di Qing, who is so beautiful dancing.

At this time, standing behind Li Yu, Qi Yunhe who was not far away suddenly came over.

"My lord, my subordinates have also seen sword dancing skills before, why don't I let my subordinates go down and compete with Miss Di." Qi Yunhe bowed and said.

Li Yu was stunned for a moment, waved his sleeves, and shouted: "Stand back! Don't be ashamed of your three-legged cat's skills!"

The words of the two reached Di Qing's ears. Before Li Canghai could speak, Di Qing put away her long sword and said proudly: "This girl is also looking for someone to play tricks on. It's rare that someone is willing to challenge this girl. My girl I can't ask for more!"

Li Yu thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's okay, Mr. Qi has been bragging about how powerful your martial arts are, but this king has never seen it before. Now it's just time for Miss Qing to test it. This king agrees!"

Hearing this, Qi Yunhe bowed to Li Yu, then walked towards Di Qing.

Li Canghai knew Di Qing's strength, so he was not worried, but asked curiously: "Isn't he the prince's butler? Could it be that even the prince doesn't know his strength?"

Li Yu drank a glass of wine and said drunkenly: "You don't know, Yunhe is the son of the old housekeeper in my house. Last month, the old housekeeper died of illness, and he came to my house to replace the old housekeeper. According to the old housekeeper He has been practicing martial arts with masters since he was a child, and he just returned from a trip to Japan a month ago, so I don't know how strong he is."
