Chapter 921 Six Door World 12
Liu Heng served hot tea to Liu Gong and Feng Xing, and sat aside to listen to the two discuss the case.
The two of them went out on business this time to handle a missing case.
There was a village three hundred miles away from the capital where all the people were missing. It took a long time before they were discovered by people visiting relatives in that village.
Local officials could not investigate where the villagers had gone, so they could only report it to Dali Temple and ask for assistance.
When Feng Xing heard about this case, he remembered what happened in Mrs. Xu San's village. He took it very seriously and followed Liu Gong to investigate.
Both men were very capable, allowing them to find clues.
The two followed the clues and found the villagers.
It turned out that there was an iron mine in the mountain where the village was located, and the villagers were tied up to mine in the mountain.
The people who guard the villagers are very armed and even have military equipment.
It was not because of Liu Gong and Feng Xing's superior martial arts that they were not killed, but they captured those who were guarding the iron mines.
But those people all bit the poison sacs in their mouths and committed suicide by taking the poison.
The clues were cut off and we couldn't find out who was behind those people.
The two could only return with the villagers.
However, this matter must be submitted to the emperor.
Some people privately develop iron mines and military weapons...
This problem is too big.
The emperor attached great importance to this matter and asked Feng Xing and Liu Gong to find the person behind the scenes.
This is not something that can be done in a short time. The two of them are looking for clues while investigating other cases.
In a blink of an eye, the end of the year is here.
Liu Heng bought a lot of New Year's goods, and on New Year's Eve, he even cooked a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner himself.
The two brothers had a reunion dinner together and watched the New Year together.
In the second half of the journey, Feng Xing ran over.
Holding a jar of wine.
Liu Gong and Feng Xing were both drunk, and Liu Zheng had to move them into the room.
Fengxing often came to Liu's house to discuss cases with Liu Gong, and sometimes stayed at Liu's house when it got late.
Liu Heng packed up a room for Feng Xing to use as his room.
Perhaps because bad guys also have to celebrate the New Year, the number of cases dropped a lot from December to March. Liu Gong was not so busy anymore and had time to participate in some official entertainment.
Both brothers received an invitation.
It's a post from Prince Gong's residence.
Prince Gong is the emperor's cousin and a free prince. Although he has a noble status, he has no real power in the court.
Prince Gong liked to make friends, and often held literary meetings to discuss poetry and Taoism with literati; he also occasionally invited some martial artists to go out hunting together.
Prince Gong had a garden on the outskirts of the city, which was very beautifully decorated.
Every year in March, Prince Gong would hold a flower viewing party in the garden, inviting all the dignitaries and family members in the capital to participate.
Even minor officials like Liu Gong and Liu Heng would receive invitations.
The flower viewing party has become the best place for the upper class in the capital to socialize, and it is also the best place for young girls and young men to have a blind date.
Liu Ting asked Liu Gong with a smile: "Brother, are you going? You can find me a sister-in-law by the way."
Liu Gong glanced at him sideways and said, "Go."
Liu Hao blinked and asked, "Is there a problem with Prince Gong?"
Liu Gong: "Not sure yet."
Liu Heng understood that there was indeed something wrong with Prince Gong.
That's right, a true prince Xiaoyao would find reasons to make friends with so many civil servants and military generals?
Fengxing came to see the two brothers, and he also received an invitation from Prince Gong. Fengxing: "Our brothers and sisters receive invitations every year, and each year one person will be the representative to attend the flower viewing party. This year it is my turn."
The three people came to the garden together, and the servants very graciously let them into the garden.
Liu Heng separated from Liu Gong and Feng Xing when he entered the garden.
He knew that these two people did not really come to have fun at the flower viewing party.
But he really came to play.
Prince Gong's garden is very large and beautiful, and has the style of Suzhou gardens.
The garden is full of various flowers. It is March in spring, and many flowers are in bloom, colorful and extremely beautiful.
There were many people in the garden, almost all the upper class people in the capital came.
Liu Heng saw Zhang Yu and stepped forward to say hello to him.
Zhang Yu actually didn't like this kind of social activity, but his wife wanted to come, so he came.
Zhang Yu didn't know many people, so he pulled Liu Hao and kept talking.
Liu Hao also stayed with Zhang Yu in a good-tempered manner until the flower viewing party was over.
Liu Heng, Liu Gong and Feng Xing met up and returned to the small courtyard together.
Liu Hiiragi: "Did you find anything?"
Liu Gong: "That colleague of yours, Zhang Yu..."
Liu Heng: "You didn't meet Zhang Yu's wife, did you?"
Liu Gong nodded: "It's the man we met in the martial arts competition to recruit a bride. Didn't you already know about it?"
Liu Heng hummed and said what he heard about Zhang Yu's wife and his father-in-law when he went to Zhang's house before.
Liu Gong: "Feng Xing and I met her today. She sneaked into Prince Gong's room and was looking for something, but we caught her. She will come home later."
Liu Heng: "So, she became Zhang Yu's wife to get close to Prince Gong?"
"Not exactly, I really like my husband."
It was a female voice that answered.
After the voice fell, the two people climbed over the wall and entered the Liu family's courtyard.
Liu Heng looked up and saw that it was indeed Zhang Yu's wife and father-in-law.
The two introduced themselves as Li Yunxia and Li Fugui.
But Li Fugui is not Li Yunxia's biological father, but a subordinate of Li Yunxia's biological father.
Li Yunxia's biological father was the prefect of a certain place. He seemed to have discovered some secret about Prince Gong. Prince Gong tried to win over Li's father, but Li's father refused, so Prince Gong killed him and silenced him.
The killers sent by Prince Gong not only killed Li's father, but also the entire Li family.
Li Fugui was a member of the Jianghu family whom Li's father once rescued. He worked in the Li family. Thanks to his desperate efforts, he rescued Li Yunxia's younger brother and escaped with his child.
Li Yunxia has been fond of practicing martial arts since she was a child. When she was a child, she had an adventure and became a teacher of an expert in the martial arts world.
When the killer came, Li Yunxia was not at the Li family. Otherwise, if she had dealt with the killer, Li's father and mother would not have been killed by the killer.
When Li Yunxia heard something happened at home, she rushed back and met Li Fugui.
Li Fugui didn't know who sent the killer, but he heard his father mention Prince Gong and suspected that the killer was sent by Prince Gong.
Li Yunxia and Li Fugui pretended to be father and daughter and went to Beijing to investigate Prince Gong.
The two fostered the child with relatives.
The child was devastated by the death of his parents and accidentally fell into the water. Thanks to Zhang Yu who was passing by, he went into the water and rescued the child.
Zhang Yu left after saving the person. Li Yunxia learned Zhang Yu's identity from other people and wanted to repay Zhang Yu.
Later, Li Yunxia met Zhang Yu and was attracted by his talents and liked Zhang Yu's kindness and honesty, so she fell in love with him.
When she married Zhang Yu, she did have the idea of using Zhang Yu's official status to get close to Prince Gong, but it was also because she really liked Zhang Yu.
