Chapter 725 The Queen Dies

Moeller and Su Wang were young and held high positions. They were rare young talents. But now they became followers, following Li Changxiao and listening to him discuss his views over and over again. Su Wang had been defeated by Li Changxiao and was dissatisfied with him. But after several interactions, he was very impressed by him. He took out a small notebook and recorded everything Li Changxiao said and did.

That gesture was not intentional, but came from the heart. At this moment, the small notebook was already densely filled with memories. Li Changxiao's jokes and witty remarks were recorded together. There were even annotations.

This style made Li Changxiao feel uncomfortable. Su Wang admired in his heart: "This is a god." He also explained the situation in detail.

This high-ranking official was named Zhang Wufu. This name was not auspicious. The original meaning was that he had no blessings and many difficulties, but he could live a long life. Who knew that he would be rich but short-lived. When he reached middle age, he was above tens of millions of people, but he died suddenly in the middle of his life.

After explaining the general situation, Li Changxiao asked the two how they planned to investigate next. Su Wang said, "If you don't help, since it is confirmed that it is a homicide, we will naturally start with interrogating officials in the same dynasty and political party enemies one by one."

Moler nodded.

As Shaoqing of Datian Temple, the two usually deal with major cases involving the foundation of the country, and their methods are fierce and terrifying. There is nothing wrong with the two investigating the case in this way, but it is a little inappropriate.

Li Changxiao told the two that they don't need to make such a big fanfare to solve the case. The purpose of killing in this world is nothing more than money, wealth, and hatred. Whether it is the monks living in the mountains or the farmers planting seedlings in the mud, they are all nothing more than these three points.

Therefore, we can start with these three points. Compared with the political party enemies, wives and concubines, it is obviously more useful to ask the maids and servants who are familiar with the mansion. After hearing this, Moler and Su Wang nodded repeatedly and felt that it made sense. Li Changxiao took two people and randomly asked a maid.

It was such a coincidence that the question was asked to the right person. The maid looked terrified and told everything she knew, which really provided very useful clues.

It turned out that a few months ago, the mansion bought a slave. He had a scar on his face and was ugly. Because he was clumsy and disobedient, he was beaten with dozens of boards by the official. Since then, he has been much more honest.

But privately, a maid saw that the slave had a resentful look in his eyes, as if he was still dissatisfied. One day, the maid went out to relieve herself and saw the slave again. At that time, he was standing in front of the lake, muttering to himself: "You are a human, I am also a human, if you make me angry, at most we will die!"

The maid saw that the slave was too fierce and dared not provoke him, so she pretended not to meet him. Until today, the people from Datian Temple found her. As a maid of the official family, she knew how fierce Datian Temple was. So he told everything he knew, not daring to keep anything back.

Li Changxiao nodded secretly, with some speculations in his mind. When Moler and Su Wang heard this, they felt that this servant was holding a grudge and must be the killer. So they looked for the servant. However, they couldn't find him. They asked the government, and the government said that there were strict boundaries for entering and leaving the mansion, and the servant with a scar on his face had never left the mansion.

Moler and Su Wang speculated: "The servant is probably not an ordinary person, and he sneaked out secretly. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find him again." Li Changxiao walked to a well, bent down, and looked at a longevity flower swaying gently by the well.

Li Changxiao pointed to the well mouth and said: "The servant committed suicide by jumping into the well, you can salvage it."

Moler and Su Wang were stunned, and immediately sent people to salvage it. Sure enough, they saw a corpse upside down in the well. The body was a little swollen, but the face was still vaguely visible.

At this point, the case was solved again. The two Shaoqings of Datian Temple were all sighing. As a high-ranking official of a country, he was already above tens of millions of people, so noble, but just because he punished a slave, he caused his dissatisfaction and finally sacrificed his life for revenge.

Although one life was exchanged for another, in the eyes of Moler and Su Wang, it was not worth it for the high-ranking official. Although they are all human beings, some are worthless, while others are born precious.

Li Changxiao's eyes were thoughtful, and his expression gradually became solemn. Like the case of Song Zhuo, the case itself was not complicated at all. One case was suicide, and the other was murder. But behind this case, there is a lot of mystery. Only Moler and Su Wang are mortals, and it is useless to talk to them.

After leaving the mansion, he rushed to the next crime scene. The scene showed that the deceased died by hanging, and there was a bright red longevity flower in his previous life.

Su Wang had learned a lot and wanted to show his skills. He tried to focus on the details and decipher the case step by step. Li Changxiao was beside him. If there was anything unreasonable or unreasonable, he would give some advice.

Soon, another "Longevity Flower" case in another village was solved. Two cases were solved in one day, and they were well-organized and impeccable. The two Shaoqing were really happy. They returned to Datian Temple overnight, wrote documents, and reported to the higher authorities.

Li Changxiao had nothing to do, so he returned to Wang Qilang Inn, woven a swing with a few vines, and sat on it by himself, swinging from dusk to late at night. A bright moon hung high in the sky, swaying white and cold. He looked at the night view, admired the moonlight, drank a little wine, and put a bag of peanut crisps in his pocket. From time to time, he picked up a few and put them in his mouth.

It was a leisurely scene. But it was suddenly disturbed by a knock on the door. Li Changxiao yawned. It was already late and he was about to go to sleep. This person came at a really bad time.

He grabbed the cane and swung down lazily. He saw the person knocking on the door. He was tall and wearing a black robe. He knocked very urgently, as if he had something urgent to do.

He looked again and found that this person was Su Wang.

Su Wang saw Li Changxiao appear and said, "Sir... I... he..." His face was full of fear. He wanted to say something several times, but he couldn't say it.

Finally, he knelt on the ground with a plop, shaking all over.

Li Changxiao said calmly, "I'll go with you." Su Wang was hesitating how to speak, whether to speak, when he saw Li Changxiao agreed by himself. He felt strange and admired him, so he covered his hood and walked towards the palace.

The two of them went through twists and turns.

They went straight to the depths of the palace. Ximi Country has always been ruled by women, and the deepest part of the palace is where the queen lives.

However, when they reached the queen's bedroom.

Suddenly, they saw a gorgeously dressed woman, hanging in the air by a rope, with her feet off the ground, her face pale, and obviously no longer breathing.
