Chapter 772: Li Fu's Night Fright

The night is dark, it is already midnight.

The nightlife in Taiyuan City has ended, and most of the people in the entire Taiyuan City have already fallen asleep. At an extraordinary moment, there are still occasionally small teams of officers and soldiers patrolling by the streets of Taiyuan City.

The house of Li Wangsun, the commander of the garrison army, was not quite spacious in Taiyuan Mansion. In fact, the houses of most wealthy gentry were much more grand than those of Li Wangsun.

The courtyard wall of King Li's Sun's mansion was not high. At this time, in a corner outside the courtyard wall, Chu Huan and Sun Zikong were wearing black clothes, like ghosts in the night, with their bodies pressed against the wall.

Chu Huan stood quietly under the wall, silent. Sun Zikong looked around for a long time before lowering his voice: "Master, no one follows us. Let's come over and be cautious. No one would have thought we would come here."

Chu Huan didn't speak. He listened carefully. There was also a silence in Li's mansion. Chu Huan did not take any action immediately, but just whispered to himself: "I shouldn't guess wrong..."

"Master, what are we here to do in the middle of the night?" Sun Zikong looked confused, "If you want to see Commander Li, you don't have to sneak in this way. You can find Prince Li in just one word?"

Chu Huan shook his head, pondered slightly, and then said softly: "Put out the fish's eyes, and the fish's eyes lost their eyes. It was because there was no beads... After eating the fish's eyes, it suddenly spit it out, like something in his throat, it was like a thorn in his throat...!" He didn't know whether it was saying to Sun Zikong or talking to himself, "He should mean that I had no beads, but he had something to say in his heart, but he couldn't say it."

Sun Zikong blinked and said admiringly: "Master, you can think of so much if you eat a fish eye. My admiration for you is like...!" Before he finished speaking, Chu Huan had already whispered: "Let's go in now, but we must be careful. We don't know whether it is a friend or an enemy, and we cannot be sure yet."

When Sun Zikong saw Chu Huan's expression was solemn, he couldn't help but nod.

The courtyard wall was not high, Chu Huan was agile, and grandson had somersaults. It was no problem to pass the yard. It was over and fell into the yard. There was silence in the yard and no one could be seen.

"Follow me and don't act rashly." Chu Huan lowered his voice and leaned forward with his hands and feet against the wall.

In the Li Mansion, it was pitch black. After walking around for a while, I suddenly saw a little fire in the distance. Chu Huan turned around and signaled to Sun Zikong not to make any noise. Following the light, he slowly touched it.

As I approached, I realized that it was a firelight coming from a window. The window was open and the lights inside were not very bright, but it was quite conspicuous in the dark night.

Chu Huan flashed under a big tree and looked inside through the window. He saw that it seemed to be a study room. He saw a person lying on the table, as if he was sleeping at the desk. The distance was too far, and he couldn't see the specific situation clearly for a while. He didn't know if the person was Prince Li. Chu Huan pondered slightly and was about to get closer to him, at this moment, Sun Zikong pulled the corner of Chu Huan's clothes. Chu Huan turned his head and saw Sun Zikong pointing to a distance. Chu Huan saw a light slowly coming from a distance.

Seeing this, Chu Huan hid behind the tree and refused to show his body.

Soon, I saw a girl with a maid who was holding a lantern in her hand, slowly coming over. She walked straight to the room with lights and knocked on the door, "Master, I'm Cui'er, I'm here to pack up!"

Sun Zikong's eyes showed a strange look and he whispered: "Master, this midnight update, this girl came here to clean up her things. Should she clean up the bed?"

Chu Huan glared at him, and Sun Zikong did not dare to speak in awkward manner.

Cui'er screamed twice, and there was no movement in the room. Chu Huan looked at her head slightly and saw clearly that there was no movement when she saw the man sleeping at the desk, as if she was sleeping in a deep sleep.

Seeing that no one agreed, Cui'er walked to the window with a lantern, looked inside, then returned to the door, reached out and pushed it. He heard a "creaking" sound, and the door was not tied. Cui'er was stunned for a moment, but still entered the room.

Chu Huan carefully watched the movement in the window. Soon, he saw Cui'er appearing in the window. When Cui'er placed the lantern on the table, then walked to the bank of the book, but couldn't hear what was said. He only saw Cui'er standing next to the man for a moment. When Cui'er turned around and ran away, he seemed to have seen a ghost. Chu Huan's heart sank. Knowing that something was wrong, he saw Cui'er already running out of the door and shouted: "No, no...!" He didn't stop and ran eastward.

Sun Zikong and Chu Huan were both extremely surprised. Sun Zikong was surprised, but he heard Chu Huan whisper: "Go up the tree!" Without saying a word, he climbed up the tree like a spirit ape.

Sun Zikong didn't know what Chu Huan sold in the gourd, but he still climbed up the tree.

This big tree is obviously very old, with towering ancient trees. Although there are no lush leaves in winter, there are many branches. In the middle of the night, I hide on the trees, but it is quite hidden.

Chu Huan did not climb too high. When he could see the scene in the window, he stopped and his body was hidden between the branches. At this time, he saw that the person sleeping at the desk in the room was still motionless.

Not long after, I heard footsteps, and then the lights were on, and I saw more than a dozen lanterns appearing in the east, and a large group of people were quickly coming here.

First, there was a woman, followed by the guards of the hospital guards and several girls. The woman was very fast. When she arrived in front of the door, she was the first to enter the house. After Chu Huan saw her entering the inner room, she also went to the side of the case. She soon heard her screaming: "Hurry, go and ask the doctor, hurry..." and shouted: "Come and two people to help..."

Several servants rushed in, and Chu Huan frowned. Soon, they saw several servants carefully carrying the person who was sleeping at the desk. The room was noisy for a while, and there were a few people standing by the window, blocking Chu Huan's view, but the situation inside was invisible for a moment.

Sun Zikong couldn't help but leaned close to Chu Huan's ear and lowered his voice: "Master, it seems something happened to him!"

Chu Huan nodded slightly, with a serious expression.

The bustle was busy below, and Chu Huan and Sun Zikong were all in the trees. After a while, they saw a servant dragging and dragging an old gray-bearded man over. The old man was panting and out of breath, and waved his hands repeatedly, "Wait a minute, let me take a breath..."

The dick of the family said angrily: "If the master is delayed, don't breathe..." He shouted to the house: "The doctor is here..."

A few people immediately came out of the house and brought the doctor in with all their might. Soon, they saw that everyone in the house came out, the windows and doors were closed, and only the woman and the doctor were still there.

The servants and maids gathered in front of the door at this time, and a few people came to the tree. They all seemed very nervous and talked a lot. One person heard him say, "What's wrong with the master? He has always been in good health, why did this happen suddenly?"

Someone said next to him: "You didn't see it, the master was poisoned."

"Poisoned?"

"The master's nostrils were bleeding, and the blood was not red." said a servant: "Only poisoning can be like that."

"How could it be poisoned?" someone next to him questioned: "Who made the poison?"

"By the way, Cui'er, come here." An older old man waved. This man seemed to be in charge of the Li Mansion. Cui'er, who was the first to discover the matter, hurried over. The old man had already asked, "When you came here just now, did you see anyone else here?"

Cui'er's face was pale and shook her head in fear, "No. When I came, the master's door was not closed tightly. I called a few times, but the master did not agree. I saw the master from the window that he seemed to be asleep and did not dare to disturb him, so she went over to try to push the door, and the door opened." The girl was still scared. When she spoke, she was trembling, "I went into the room and saw that the master had not woken up yet, so she went over to clean up the master's bowls and chopsticks for the midnight snack, but when she saw that the bowl of red date porridge had only eaten half a bowl, so she wanted to ask the master if he wanted to eat it..."

Everyone didn't speak, and listened to Cui'er's statement, just because everyone didn't speak, even though Chu Huan was on the tree, he could hear it clearly.

"But the master was asleep, and I didn't dare to wake him up. I just wanted to wait outside for a while, but... but when I was about to leave, I smelled a strange smell!"

"What does it taste?" the old man said in a deep voice.

"Blood." Cui'er said tremblingly: "It's the fishy smell of blood... I looked at it and found... I realized that there was blood on the master's table...!"

Everyone looked at each other everywhere.

"When I saw the master not moving, I was afraid that something would happen to him, so I reached out and pushed him. When the master didn't wake up, I leaned closer to look, and then I saw... I saw the master's nose bleeding, and... and the color of the blood was very strange...!" Cui'er didn't dare to say anything, her face was pale, covering her mouth.

The old man pondered for a moment and finally said, "Who is the kitchen guard tonight?"

"It's Liu Laoliu." Cui'er said.

"Where is Liu Laoliu?" The old man glanced around, and everyone was looking for Liu Laoliu in the crowd. Soon someone said, "Liu Laoliu is not here, he has not come."

The old man immediately shouted loudly: "Go and find Liu Laoliu, hurry up..." The two strong servants immediately ran away.

At this moment, with a "creaking", the door opened, but saw the doctor standing inside the door. Everyone looked over. The doctor raised his hand and wiped his sweat on his forehead, shouting: "Go quickly, Dr. Han from Baicaotang in the south of the city, and Dr. Liu from Wujia Alley, hurry up and find them both, don't be slow..."
