Chapter 35: I like that boy
After a deep discussion, although Du Mingcheng still had many secrets and major events that he had never told him frankly, based on his past behavior, Long Xingtu was willing to give him another trust. The two finally shook hands and made peace and continued to fight side by side.
However, what Long Xingtu didn't know was that after she left, Du Mingcheng pressed the study and Erye Li walked out of a secret door.
Du Mingcheng took a step forward, knelt on one knee, and his words and deeds were no longer casually before, and he saluted humbly: "Shao Marquis!"
Mr. Li’s handsome face is also rare and serious: “Mr. Du doesn’t have to be too polite!”
Du Mingcheng stood up and asked Erye Li to sit in the reception room, and asked straight in, "Shaohou, what do you think?"
"It turns out that he is a master of art and courage, and a hero is a young man!" Master Li showed admiration in his eyes, "After the test from last night to today, the performance of the Dragon Star Map is remarkable, the character and martial arts are good, and you know the most about wisdom."
Du Mingcheng said: "The Longxing Map is resourceful and meticulous in observing people and things. When the Shaohou was in Wuyang County, he would definitely see it with his own eyes."
"Haha, aren't you afraid that he will notice you are plotting against him? He worked hard all night to find someone for you, but you were setting up a plan and killing two birds with one stone!" Mr. Li's thin lips were stoked, and he was quite gloating, "I guess, based on the young man's hot temper, he would really take his life with the way of the world!"
Upon hearing this, Du Mingcheng's face suddenly looked ugly, "Don't the young marquis give him a helping hand?"
"You didn't see it. I'm a clay Buddha who crossed the river and couldn't protect myself." Mr. Li immediately collapsed his handsome face and pinched the back of his neck. "I was beaten hard by him in the morning, but it still hurts now."
Du Mingcheng frowned and said hurriedly: "Shaohou, after all, the star map is young and his temperament needs to be tempered. Don't..."
"No, I like that young man very much." Master Li shook the folding fan in his hand, his posture was leisurely, his eyebrows and eyes were smiling, "That Zhong Wushan is a strange man, and the disciple he taught was even more slim and a rare stream in this chaotic world!"
After hearing this, Du Mingcheng asked worriedly: "I wonder what kind of young marquis like? Xingtu is serious and he doesn't like to joke about his appearance. If the young marquis always teased him like this, something might happen."
"What can happen? Between the two men..." Master Li picked up the tail of his eyes, and some intriguing smiles appeared in Taohua's eyes, "Haha, I'm really not a manly person!"
Du Mingcheng twitched, "I mean, if the Star Map is angry and leaves, who will take on the important tasks assigned by Marquis An Guo in twenty days? Or, if he asks Zhongli to take action, the young marquis may not be the opponent!"
When talking about the serious matter, Li Erye looked solemn, "My father Fei Ge sent a letter. When the Empress Dowager died, he adopted his father's advice and issued an imperial edict to summon the fourth prince back to Beijing. However, the prince and Yan Jing's party would definitely send a killer to assassinate the fourth prince along the way. The emperor neither sent troops to respond nor allowed the Qingyuguan guards to escort it. This was obviously dangerous. It was up to the fourth prince's own luck!"
Speaking of this, he stood up and clasped his fists at Du Mingcheng, "For the sake of the present, only Lord Du can rely on the iron coupon of the alchemy book to arrange for the masters to escort the fourth prince a thousand miles from Wuyang County to the capital!"
Du Mingcheng hurriedly replied, "Please rest assured, I will fulfill my mission! But how to arrange it from Qingyuguan to Wuyang County? The journey is also very dangerous!"
"I have ordered Shi Feng and Shiqiao to rush to Qingyuguan. Before the eunuch of the court issued an eunuch, I must discuss a plan that can be coordinated with my brother Li Yanbai. We must ensure that the fourth prince can safely arrive in the capital without violating the imperial edict."
"The Young Marquis was considerate."
"At that time, the Dragon Star Map is bright and I am dark. We have planned a route. I will set out in advance to investigate. Not only will the Fourth Prince be unscathed, but you, the stingy little master, cannot be missing your arms and legs."
Mr. Li sat back on the chair, lifted the corner of his robe and raised his legs, and smiled over his lips for no reason.
Du Mingcheng felt something was wrong, but he couldn't say it was specific, so he could only laugh twice to express his agreement.
"By the way, Lord Du, before I go out, my father told me to ask you something. Are you familiar with Zhong Wushan?" Mr. Li suddenly remembered it and said seriously again.
Du Mingcheng shook his head, "We have never seen it. Two years ago, Long Xingtu came to Wuyang County alone. In a street murder case, he discovered the murderer on the spot and captured him. I rewarded him with silver, and he proposed the condition to be my master of criminal justice. Not long after, the Zhong brothers and sisters came to the door, and I realized that the three of them were from the Zhong family. I wonder what the Marquis meant?"
"It's still about the case of the Xia family." Li Erye sighed, and a little sadness surged in his eyes. "My father always believed that Xin'er was not dead. Although the beheaded body that day looked like Xin'er, even said that there was no flaw, Xin'er was bitten by a wild dog when she was young, leaving a scar the size of a fingernail, and the body was intact."
Du Mingcheng was shocked, "Is it related to Zhong Wushan?"
"Zhong Wushan is well-versed in the world and is proficient in various mysterious techniques, so my father wanted to ask Zhong Wushan for some inquiries."
"It's a pity that Zhong Wushan travels around and has no fixed place, so even Zhongli can find his father."
Speaking of this, Du Mingcheng suddenly stood up, "But Young Marquis, I have a clue here, which may be related to what you are looking for."
Du Mingcheng took Li Erye to the Southern Superintendent together.
Li Fuhai was suddenly arraigned.
When the constable escorted him to a sealed stone prison, all the constables were deported, only the county magistrate Du Mingcheng and a strange rich young man were present.
Li Fuhai was full of doubts, but he still saluted according to the rules, "The sinners have met the Lord!"
Du Mingcheng looked gentle and said, "I asked you carefully, you must explain it to me. You should not hide it in just a few words, do you know?"
Li Fuhai's forehead hit the ground, "Yes, sir!"
Du Mingcheng's voice was extremely low, "Tell me, where did you dig gold twelve years ago? Do you still remember the specific location?"
"Sir, the Criminal People dug it in Yanming Mountain, Daijiazhuang, but the Criminal People can't remember which tomb it was. Because the climate was very bad that night, the sky was very dark, and the charge was the first tomb robbery. I was afraid and didn't know how to check in advance. I just made a temporary decision and just caught a tomb to dig it out. I didn't dig deep. After digging for a while, I dug out two ingots of gold. The Criminal People didn't dare to be greedy for fear of being discovered, so I hurriedly ran home." Li Fuhai replied.
