Chapter 32 Poetry Club Assassination

The poetry meeting is still going on. After listening to Li You's poems, everyone felt a lot of emotion in their hearts, but they did not forget their purpose.

Li Tai also became very interested and wrote a poem.

Everyone basically stood up in turn and read their poems to everyone.

Those who write well will naturally be praised, while those who write badly will not receive any criticism in this environment. At most, they will get some yin and yang from those who are unhappy with them.

Most of them were kind comments from Shangguan Yi and a few senior scholars.

Li You didn't participate in the conversation anymore.

Now he is sitting here eating silently, looking up from time to time.

If there is good poetry, listen to it; if not, just lower your head and drink.

The wine prepared by Shangguan Zisu is indeed delicious and fits his taste.

"Not bad, not bad! The poems written by Li Xian are worthy of being a masterpiece!"

"Especially this sentence that compares glutinous rice balls to the bright moon reflected in the bowl before mourning and longing, it is really unforgettable!"

"Yeah yeah!"

Hearing the praise from everyone, the young man named Li Xian couldn't help but show a delicate look on his face.

He smiled and sat in his seat with his back straight.

While everyone was talking and laughing, Li You's drinking movement suddenly stopped and his eyes became sharp.

He swung the cup in his hand towards the poet named Li Xian.

The cup came behind him very quickly, deflecting a crossbow arrow that was about to hit him and hitting the table.

Immediately after the crossbow arrows were fired, Li You moved his ear frame slightly and kicked the table in front of him, causing the table to fly high. Then Li You held it horizontally with one hand and blocked it in front of Li Tai and Shangguan Yi.

Blocked these crossbow arrows.

It was during this gap that Li You didn't have time to care about the man named Li Xian.

A crossbow arrow penetrated straight from the bottom of the back of his head, piercing his entire throat.

He lay directly on the ground with his eyes wide open.

Everyone present did not expect such a situation, and everyone was a scholar. Almost all of them were heartbroken and looked at this scene with their eyes wide open.

His face was full of fear and fear.

Fortunately, Shangguan Yi was slightly frightened, but did not react too much. He just took a deep breath and looked around with a serious face.

Li Tai was frightened. He shrank back, almost tripping to the ground, and stared at the table in front of him.

Li You observed his surroundings carefully to prevent something like this from happening again.

After a while, Li You slowly put the table down and sighed.

Everything happened too fast, and Li You could only protect a few people.

He ignored the literati who were too frightened to move and walked silently to the body lying on the table with blood all over the floor.

The cause and manner of death all happened in front of him, so none of it mattered anymore.

Logically speaking, they sit side by side.

Shangguan Yi and Li Tai were sitting in the upper seats in the middle aisle.

If there was only one person, it would be impossible for the murderer to shoot a crossbow arrow and then quickly shoot it in front of Li Tai and the others.

That means there should be at least two people, maybe even more.

After all, there were five crossbow arrows just shot on the table.

Li Tai came back to his senses, his eyes full of anger.

He gritted his teeth tightly and looked at the table that had fallen to the ground. Then he turned to look at Shangguan Yi and said fiercely:

"Sir Shangguan! I need an explanation."

Shangguan Yi knew that this matter happened in his house, so naturally he was the first one to take responsibility for the current situation.

He stood up slowly, saluted Li Tai and said:

"His Royal Highness King Wei! I really don't know about this, but if there is a problem with security, it is really my problem. Your Highness, please forgive me!"

Li Taihei's face, the raised flesh on his face was trembling.

Li You stood up and walked to Li Tai.

"Fourth brother! I think Lord Shangguan should have nothing to do with this matter, and the main purpose of this matter should not be against you."

"Oh?" Li Tai's face changed slightly when he heard this. He seemed to realize that his state was a little too emotional, and his face recovered a little. After all, it was Li You who saved him just now. At this time, his expression

Of course, face must be given.

"What fifth brother said, but what discoveries have been made?"

"Fourth brother, what do you think?" Li You replied:

"The first crossbow arrow that hit the scene was headed straight for the scholar."

Li You's words drew everyone's attention to the corpse spread out on the table.

"And the shooting position was straight into the back of the head. It was obvious that there was no intention to keep him alive."

"I used a wine glass to save him later, and then someone shot a few more crossbow arrows towards you."

"There are five crossbow arrows, but judging from its shooting trajectory, it does not shoot directly towards you, Fourth Brother, and they are widely distributed. Even Lord Shangguan is within the shooting range."

"That is to say, these arrows are most likely not intended to take your lives, but to allow me to save you."

"Only in this way can I be able to ignore the scholar named Li Xian, who has become what he is now."

Li Tai listened to Li You's words, although there were some words he didn't understand, but he focused his eyes on the table that had just blocked his arrow.

He found that the statement was indeed consistent with Li You's.

The five arrows were indeed spread out over a wide area. If they really wanted to kill himself or Shangguan Yi, they should have at least fired them in succession.

The locations cannot be distributed like this.

Thinking of this, his heart felt slightly calmer, and some of the imaginary enemies in his mind just now were dispersed.

Although his eyes were serious and his expression was cold at the moment, his face was not as dark as at the beginning, as if he was about to kill someone.

"Then according to what the fifth brother said, the murderer's original purpose was to kill Li Xian!"

"But why is this? He is just a young Jinshi, a young man of the Li family in Longxi..."

At this point, Li Tai suddenly seemed to react and was stunned for a moment.

His eyes suddenly became deep.

He seemed to sense some different meaning from it.

Li You didn't know what his fourth brother was thinking. Anyway, he was too lazy to engage in politics.

Everyone present was still sitting where they were and did not leave.

Li You turned around and told a servant outside to go to Dali Temple to report the crime.

About half an hour later, Li Zhi, wearing the official uniform of Dali Temple, came to Shangguan's home with a group of young men.

The entire poetry venue was surrounded.

Li You was a little helpless about this approach. Although it was routine, it was really unnecessary.

As long as the murderer was not a fool, it would have been so long and he would have run outside long ago.
