Demoness, Where Are You Fleeing To?

Li Xuan and Jiang Hanyun worked together in Lanyue Tower for more than half an hour before they boarded the carriage back to the Six Daosi Suzaku Hall.

Jiang Hanyun was obviously in a bad mood. She held her chin with one hand and looked out the window blankly. Li Xuan was thinking about things. One was the major case that happened on the river. He had already asked Jiang Hanyun about it. But his boss doesn't know the details yet; the second is Situ Zhong, who doesn't understand why this person would target him.

Just when Li Xuan was deep in thought, Jiang Hanyun suddenly reached out and flicked his forehead: "What are you thinking?! I'm talking to you, don't you hear me?"

"Ah?" Li Xuan raised his head and found Jiang Hanyun opposite him looking at him curiously.

He immediately pushed away all the distracting thoughts and thoughts, and sat upright with a fist in his arms: "My subordinate was thinking about the case, so I was distracted. I wonder what I have to ask about, sir?"

"I asked you what you thought about the case against sister Wei Shi?"

Jiang Hanyun's eyes, which were full of autumn water, were now full of cold and evil aura: "I had someone transfer the files just now. Wei Shi didn't lie. Three girls under fourteen years old were raped by a group of young men. Those who were tortured to death are indeed a bunch of beasts!"

Li Xuan thought for a moment, and then told the truth: "This case has been concluded. If the captain wants to overturn the case, he will offend many people. If you pity Wei Shi, just don't let her fall into the hands of others." This is enough to show your benevolence. But if the captain must overturn the verdict, then I am willing to do my best!"

After all, Li Xuan is a newcomer to society who has only graduated two years ago, and he is still full of enthusiasm, so the last four words of "meager strength" he said are extra sonorous and powerful.

Hearing this, Jiang Hanyun looked at him in surprise: "Oh, I really didn't realize that you have a strong sense of justice. I was just asking for your opinion, but it's good for you to think so directly. Overturn her verdict."

But then she became serious: "I remember the duty schedule. Yesterday you were supposed to be on the night shift with Ma Chenggong, right? Li Xuan, you are very brave. You actually dared to skip work and come over to spend the night in a brothel."

Li Xuan's scalp suddenly became numb and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He had thought that Jiang Hanyun hadn't thought of this before.

When the two returned to Zhuque Hall, Situ Zhong had also escorted all the criminals over.

But what happened next was embarrassing. The entire Zhuque Hall was empty, and Jiang Hanyun couldn't find enough manpower to go to the hall to try the case.

The two of them could only make a filing and record of the case first, and then send Wei Shi and the others to the prison in the backyard of Zhuque Hall to adjourn the case.

While Li Xuan was immersed in writing the case file, a young man about the same age as Li Xuan hurried in from the front yard.

"Li Dalu?" Li Xuan looked over in astonishment.

That was the original body's personal attendant, and also the most satisfying and closest servant of the predecessor. Not only is he of reliable origin, well-informed and knowledgeable, but he also possesses good military skills.

But at this moment, this man's face was pale and he was sweating profusely.

"Young Master, something happened at home. The flying talisman in the capital sent a message, reprimanding the uncle for neglecting his duties, and removed the uncle from his position as naval admiral. The uncle and the prince were ordered to stay at home to await investigation."

Li Xuan's eyes suddenly turned sharp and he looked at the young man in disbelief. He had a premonition that something might happen at home, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.

He felt a chill in his heart. When he first traveled through time, he was glad that he had become a second-generation official. But did it turn out that the shelf life was so short?

"How did you get to the point of being dismissed? Did you tell me what the reason was?"

Li Dalu shook his head, looking confused.

Li Xuan knew that he would not be able to find out anything from Li Dalu, so he stood up suddenly and walked out the door as fast as flying.

※※※※

The Suzaku Hall of Liudaosi was a long way from Chengyi's Mansion, but Li Xuan, who was galloping on horseback, arrived at the door of Chengyi's Mansion in less than seven minutes.

When the scenery at the gate of the uncle's residence came into Li Xuan's eyes, his mood suddenly sank.

Sincerely, although the title of the Li family is only an uncle, he is one of the most prominent dignitaries in the dynasty. The position of Admiral of the Jiang Navy is almost hereditary in their family, and there is little continuity. Although this position is not high, it is full of benefits. Just the contribution of the merchant ships, grain ships and salt ships on the river every year can make the sincere Bo Li family's mouth water.

Therefore, even at night, the courtyard of Chengyi's Mansion is still full of cars and horses, and canopies are gathered. But today the place is a little deserted. There are only three or five carriages parked at the door, and they all belong to the uncle's own family.

It was obviously a hot day at this time, but it gave people a sense of desolation.

"Where is the old man?" Li Xuan dismounted and walked straight to the door. It wasn't until he almost reached the atrium that the housekeeper of the Chengcheng family came over to greet him.

"Young Master, both the uncle and the prince are in the study. The uncle has asked you to come over as soon as possible after you come back."

Li Xuan felt a sense of uneasiness at this moment, just because he traveled to the present, and his father and brother were busy with official duties outside. So today is actually their first meeting.

Li Xuan was worried that he would be exposed, and he also thought that his parents would be very sad if they knew that their son had died and been replaced, and he himself would probably be treated as a monster.

In addition, Li Xuan is still a little repelled and afraid, because he didn't know how to get along with his relatives before.

This is related to Li Xuan's life experience before time travel. He is a child of a divorced family. Due to congenital heart disease, his parents divorced when Li Xuan was seven years old, and they reorganized their families, got married and had children.

Li Xuan couldn't accept it at first, and soon found that he had become his parents' unnecessary child, and neither family could tolerate him. He began to become dissolute and rebellious, and since then he has distanced himself from the lives of his relatives.

Even his grandparents, who raised him, were not close to him. The relationship between the two parties is more like that of a landlord and a tenant, and they can hardly speak a few words throughout the year.

Over the years, Li Xuan has become accustomed to being alone, but after traveling to this world, he suddenly has a few more close relatives. However, these people were all very close to Li Xuan, which gave him a huge headache.

And when Li Xuan stepped into Uncle Cheng Yi's study under the guidance of the housekeeper, he knew that his worries about his identity being exposed were not unfounded. At this time, his father, the contemporary Chengyi Bo Li Chengji, and his eldest brother Chengyi Bo Crown Prince Li Yan and Li Yuanhui all looked at him sideways at the same time. The two of them looked at him with surprise and scrutiny.
