Chapter 266 Investigation
Li Xuan had never heard of this name, and there seemed to be no such person in the world.
Lu Yanbing observed his expression and said, "What is the identity of a senior brother? If you want to see him, you will send someone to send him an invitation to see his senior brother at the Qizhou Guild Hall. Could it be that he dares to give up his senior brother?"
Li Xuandu asked back, "What if they really don't sell my face? Can I still kill myself to the door?"
"Then let's go to the door and just wipe him out and give him a face!" Lu Yanbing said for granted.
Li Xuan shook his head, feeling that he was playing the piano with a cow. However, Li Xuan thought again, Lu Yanbing was in the Qingwei Sect and had been in the imperial capital for many years, but he had never been a naughty person. His words were not like what she should have said, but it seemed like he was deliberately pretending to be stupid.
Li Xuan smiled and said, "If I ask you to visit this beggar king, will he meet you?"
Lu Yanbing was stunned and hesitated: "It should be?"
Li Xuandu was amused: "Why, the disciple of the Great Sword Immortal, Mr. Qingping's junior sister, can't even meet him? Does this beggar king look down on the Great Sword Immortal? Or does he look down on me, Mr. Qingping?"
Lu Yanbing immediately changed his words and said, "Of course we can see you."
"Slippin." Li Xuandu smiled and cursed, but did not care too much about Lu Yanbing. Instead, he looked at Shen Shuangmei, "Miss Shen, how much do you think this matter has to do with the Beggars' Sect? Is it the Beggars' Sect who took it on his own? Or is it an outsider who worshipped the Beggars' Sect over the hill?"
Shen Shuangmei pondered: "I prefer the second possibility. After all, rabbits do not eat grass beside their nests. The Beggars' Sect has been rooted in the imperial capital for many years and has always been very sensible in their work. It is impossible to involve an official lady. It is more like an outsider who doesn't know the importance of it."
Li Xuan nodded, but his mind was not on this case, and his thoughts were distant.
If one day the imperial capital is taken, the so-called Beggars' Sect is an abscess on the imperial capital and must be removed as soon as possible. If you want to remove this abscess, a large number of grassroots officials must fill the gap in this regard. I wonder if Liaodong has such ability.
Shen Shuangmei looked at Li Xuandu, and felt a little nervous. This is also human nature. She is not a deaf person. Naturally, she has heard a lot of stories about Mr. Qingping. Not to mention those stories in the world, but only the incident of Mr. Qingping killing Ding Ce, the governor of Qingluan Guard, not long ago, which shocked her greatly. It would be fine to kill someone. The key is that this matter did not cause huge waves in the imperial capital, and no one even talked about this matter. This is very terrifying. The former only shows that Mr. Qingping has a high level of cultivation, while the latter demonstrates Mr. Qingping's current overwhelming power.
How could such a veritable big shot pay attention to such a trivial matter?
However, beyond Shen Shuangmei's surprise, Li Xuan was not arrogant after becoming famous, but was still very peaceful, and was not impatient with such things.
Li Xuandu's idea is very simple. People say that wealth is not easy to change his wife but not to friends. You cannot disagree with your old friend just because you are rich and prosperous. Now that the old friend Shen Shuangmei is in trouble, it is reasonable to reach out to help him. But he is very busy now, just because Qin Su and Ning Yi have no news yet, so he has a moment of leisure. However, there will be a result on both sides soon, so he cannot follow Shen Shuangmei to investigate the case.
However, there is a idle person beside Li Xuandu, his junior sister Lu Yanbing. What does it mean to be as close as a brother and sister? That is, Li Xuandu is very tolerant of Lu Yanbing in daily life. Not only will he not care about Lu Yanbing's small mistakes, but he can also tolerate many of Lu Yanbing's shortcomings. But at the critical moment, he will not be polite and ruthless in his support. This is not an outsider.
To put it bluntly, the two grew up together, know each other well, and there is no need to pretend. So when Li Xuan turned his eyes to Lu Yanbing, Lu Yanbing had already had some clarity and said, "Senior brother is busy with everything he can't get rid of. I am willing to share my worries for my senior brother."
Li Xuan ignored Lu Yanbing's sarcasm and said, "It's great. You have been the right governor of Qingluan Guard. You are familiar with the imperial capital and have some experience in handling cases. If you help Miss Chen investigate this case, if you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me and I will ask Mrs. Lan to help you."
Lu Yanbing felt a little calm. She was not afraid of dealing with others. Her biggest problem was that she lacked her cultivation and lacked confidence in fighting with others. However, she had seen Mrs. Lan's cultivation in the Dazhen Mansion, which was no less than her second senior brother. She was just as close to Bai Xiushang. With Mrs. Lan's escort, she had nothing to be afraid of. Besides, even if Mrs. Lan is not good, she still has her own senior brother.
Chen Shuangmei smiled bitterly in her heart. The Qingluan Guard General Office also handled the case, but it was not such a case, but the kind of imperial case of siege and extermination of family and tribes. They asked them to torture prisoners, ask for confessions, search for houses, and even spy on information and secret assassination. However, it is not much different from those who asked them to handle such cases.
It was just that Li Xuandu's kindness was not easy to refuse Chen Shuangmei, so she could only thank him.
After chatting for a while, Li Xuan stood up and said goodbye. He had no interest in continuing to stroll and planned to return to the Qizhou Guild Hall. However, Lu Yanbing stayed. From now on, she was Chen Shuangmei's helper. Li Xuan had specially explained with a voice transmission that she was not allowed to bully Chen Shuangmei by relying on her cultivation level. The investigation of cases should be based on Chen Shuangmei.
Chen Shuangmei had heard of Lu Yanbing, but she had never dealt with him. Lu Yanbing only knew that Chen Shuangmei had never taken it seriously, so this was the first time the two of them had dealt with him.
The two of them first exchanged polite greetings, and then they had nothing to say. Lu Yanbing was impatient and thought to himself that he was the master of Tiangang Hall, and he kept the huge Lanling Mansion and investigated the case here. He only felt that the boss was boring, but his senior brother had to obey the order, so he just wanted to finish the investigation quickly, so he took the initiative to ask about the case.
Chen Shuangmei was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Lu Yanbing was so enthusiastic, which was a bit inconsistent with the rumors. However, she didn't think much about it and immediately told her what she had already verified.
Li Xuan asked just now, and Chen Shuangmei just said it roughly and omitted a lot of details. Now, when talking about it in detail, there is more Chen Shuangmei's own speculation. Chen Shuangmei said just now that she thought it was an outsider who committed the crime, not all of it was speculation, but found some evidence. Someone once saw this young lady and a young man buying perfume and mirrors in the market, which was the long street that Li Xuandu and the others had just been to.
Lu Yanbing is still reliable in doing things. After listening, he said, "The key to the moment is the Beggars' Sect, and they must know the origin of these people."
Chen Shuang smiled bitterly and said, "After that being said, since these people have worshipped the mountain, the people in the Beggars' Sect will definitely protect them. It is related to the credibility of the Beggars' Sect. They will not make exceptions easily unless..."
Lu Yanbing said: "Unless the senior brother comes forward in person, every move of the senior brother is now attracting much attention, especially the Queen Mother and the Confucian Sect. At this time, it is difficult for the senior brother to meet Feng Yuanshi for this matter."
Chen Shuang's eyebrows were stunned. Unexpectedly, Lu Yanbing saw so thoroughly. So just now, her behavior in front of Li Xuandu was deliberately pretending to be stupid. She realized it later, why did Li Xuan say that "slip"?
Lu Yanbing showed his shrewd and capable side at this time and said, "It's okay, the huge imperial capital is not just a beggar's sect covering the sky with one hand. Qingluan Guard has hidden stakes buried in the Beggar's sect. I can call some people from Qingluan Guard to help us thoroughly investigate this matter."
Chen Shuangmei was slightly surprised. When Li Xuandu asked about it just now, Lu Yanbing was vague. Now it seems that Lu Yanbing is not just a simple thing to know, and even has some interaction with the Beggars' Sect. Otherwise, the Beggars' Sect would not give Lu Yanbing a gift for three or two years.
It has to be said that this is the benefit of power. Although Lu Yanbing left the Qingluan Guard Governor's Office, there were many of her old subordinates in the Qingluan Guard Governor's Office. Now she is following Li Xuandu, with a high spirit and backing to the Qingweizong mountain. These old subordinates naturally refused to break off their relationship with their old boss, especially after Ding Ce died, they all came to please him, so Lu Yanbing's words were still effective. If she wanted to call Qingluan Guard to oppose the empress dowager, it would be unrealistic, but just investigating a case that had nothing to do with the court would be fine.
Qingluan Guards had their own contact means. Lu Yanbing took out a stack of mother talismans from the Xumi treasures she carried with her. Each one corresponds to a different person. After Lu Yanbing picked out a burning one, he left the restaurant with Chen Shuangmei, crossed three streets, and came to an inconspicuous small, deserted teahouse. About half an hour later, a middle-aged man in ordinary clothes came to the teahouse, bowed to Lu Yanbing, and whispered: "Please give me the order."
Lu Yanbing said: "Use the relationship between the Beggars' Sect and help me check the relevant..."
Speaking of this, she paused slightly, looked at Chen Shuangmei, and asked, "After saying so much, I don't know the name of the official lady."
Chen Shuangmei hurriedly said, "The surname is Yao, and the name is Yao Xianglian."
Lu Yanbing nodded slightly: "Check out the news about Yao Xianglian."
The man responded and turned around and left in a hurry.
Chen Shuangmei knew the rules and did not ask about the man's identity, but just waited here with Lu Yanbing.
Sometimes, when handling cases, you need patience. Chen Shuangmei has very good patience. Lu Yanbing has poor patience. After waiting for an hour, he became a little impatient. Lu Yanbing got up and went to a book stall not far away to buy a storybook and read it casually. But the story was extremely depressing and unhappy, making people more and more irritable as they read it. When he looked at the author again, it happened that it was Qin Su's pseudonym. Lu Yanbing naturally could not say bad things about his good sister and future sister-in-law behind his back. He could only swallow the greeting words that had already reached his mouth, and became more and more irritable.
When it was almost dusk, the middle-aged man finally left and returned, looking at Chen Shuangmei. After hesitating, Chen Shuangmei was about to get up. Lu Yanbing waved his hand and said, "This Miss Chen is my friend, but it's okay."
The middle-aged man nodded and said softly: "Sir, something happened to the Beggars' Sect. The secret sect was discovered by others and the gift was given. The Beggars' Sect greeted him and said that the king would say hello to him, please do not wade into the muddy waters."
Lu Yanbing, who was already very irritable, laughed furiously: "What a king. His master and brother have never been called alone. He is a beggar leader and he is a king."
The middle-aged man dared not speak.
Chen Shuangmei was a little worried.
The Beggars' Sect is indeed unsatisfied. The Qingluan Guard's stake had probably been identified, but the Beggars' Sect kept attracting it and did not issue it. It was not until this time that the Qingluan Guard's stake had broken out, which was somewhat of a warning. No wonder Lu Yanbing was angry.
However, Lu Yanbing is not a good person. She was not very concerned about this case, but now she really wanted to take advantage of this matter to leave the Beggars' Sect and said coldly: "I will send my visit to you in person."
