Chapter 888: Night Moon Attack.

After really understanding Li Shicheng, Ye Xing asked Li Ming about some possible enemies of Li Shicheng, but Li Ming thought about it for a long time, and he didn't come up with any clues that would be useful for Ye Xing's investigation.

So they had no choice but to leave.

But just before Ye Xing and Hua Zhimeng dared to leave the Li Mansion a few steps, they suddenly heard a scream, which seemed so clear on the silent street.

The screams came from the Li Mansion, and it was most likely the screams of Li Ming, the housekeeper of the Li Mansion.

Things seem to have become a little incredible, Ye Xing and Hua Zhimeng couldn't take care of it, and hurriedly rushed into the Li Mansion, but when they rushed into the Li Mansion, they suddenly saw a figure quietly disappearing on the roof in the distance, and it was impossible to chase it again, and in the living room just now, Li Ming's body fell under an oil lamp, and the oil from the oil lamp emitted black smoke and had a pungent smell.

Seeing this situation, Hua Zhimeng couldn't help but ask, "What the hell is going on?" ”

What's going on? No one knows, and neither does Ye Xing, and now what Ye Xing needs to do is to examine the corpse and scrutinize.

The corpse did not seem to have anything to examine, the cause of death was very clear, there was a short sword in Li Ming's chest, the short sword was inserted into the chest, only the hilt of the sword was left outside, and the blood flowed out of the wound on the chest, staining the ground, and in such a dim living room, the blood seemed to be more red.

Li Ming's face was surprised, painful, and even unbelieving, but no matter what it was, he was dead, his eyes were wide, as if he was unwilling to die.

If a person dies in an accident, who would be willing?

"Who would kill such a butler?" Hua Zhimeng asked a little puzzled.

After Ye Xing examined the body, he got up and said: "Of course it was the murderer who killed Li Shicheng, Li Shicheng must have mastered something that was unfavorable to the murderer, so the murderer killed Li Shicheng to kill him, and the murderer was worried that the housekeeper of the Li Mansion would know about it, so he killed the housekeeper of the Li Mansion Li Ming." ”

After Ye Xing finished speaking, Hua Zhimeng was still puzzled: "Since this is the case, why didn't the murderer hurry up and kill Li Ming after killing Li Shicheng, and why did he wait until a few days had passed before he remembered to kill Li Ming?" ”

Regarding Hua Zhimeng's question, Ye Xing just smiled faintly and said, "Maybe the murderer only thought that Li Ming was a threat at this time, or maybe he saw us coming to Li Ming, so he thought about getting rid of Li Ming, or maybe the murderer didn't have a chance to kill Li Ming a few days ago." ”

The three possibilities that Ye Xing said were all possible, but none of them could be sure which one it was.

Another person died, and things seemed to have become bizarre, but Ye Xing suddenly became excited, because he felt that he was getting closer and closer to the truth.

The people of the government came at night to take the body away, and after the officials of the government took away Li Ming's body, Ye Xing and Hua Zhimeng did not leave, if Li Shicheng had something that was not good for the murderer, what would it be, and where would he hide it?

The two of them decided to search the Li Mansion up and down to see if they could find some clues.

The night was getting deeper, and the two of them searched for a long time, but except for finding some documents that Li Shicheng handled when he joined the army at the border pass, there were no other useful clues, but they found a secret passage under Li Shicheng's bed, and there were tens of thousands of taels of silver hidden in it, tens of thousands of taels of silver were not very many, but it was a lot for a person who joined the army.

There was nothing special about those documents, they were all matters in the barracks, and of course when he had sent to the countries outside the country, and what kind of questions he had negotiated with them.

Ye Xing sent someone to take away those documents and silver, and these are most likely clues.

When he left the Li Mansion again, Ye Xing suddenly felt that the masked man in black tonight was very familiar, as if it was the man in black who went to Ji Gang's mansion that night?

But Ye Xing didn't dare to believe it, after all, if a person wore a night suit, if it weren't for the height and fat being too obvious, all of them would look the same.

After returning to the Zhongshan Palace, Ye Xing carefully flipped through those documents, and through the records and dates on them, Ye Xing could almost know Li Shicheng's itinerary during this period of time.

As a member of the army, when the emperor drove his own expedition, he was accompanied, and later the Ming army was victorious, and the leader of the Mongol Tatars, Benyasuri, fled to the Waspur, and Benyasli wanted to ask the leader of the Wathorns, Mahamu, to help him and save his life.

But at this time, Zhu Di sent Li Shicheng to envoy the tile spur, and persuaded the tile spur leader Ma Hamu to kill Ben Ya Li, and the tile spur leader Ma Hamu dedicated Ben Ya Li's head to Zhu Di, which also made Zhu Di's Northern Expedition so successful.

In the matter of Ma Hamu, the leader of the tile spurs, cutting off the head of Benjamin, Li Shicheng who joined the army made a great contribution, so Li Shicheng returned to the team from the tile spurs, and after the victorious class returned to the dynasty, Zhu Di praised Li Shicheng to a great extent.

Ye Xing didn't feel anything about Li Shicheng's contribution to Zhu Di's Northern Expedition, and the emperor should reward him, but Ye Xing didn't understand, did this matter have anything to do with Li Shicheng's death?

If it doesn't matter, what did Li Shicheng kill for?

But if so, what is it?

Ye Xing had no clue about what Li Shicheng had mastered, but from these documents, Ye Xing found another thing, that is, why Li Shicheng betrayed the King of Han and took refuge with the crown prince Zhu Gaochi.

On the battlefield, Zhu Gaoxi, the king of Han, was very heroic, but Li Shicheng was a smart man, and after some observation, he found that although Zhu Di liked the heroic son of Zhu Gaoxi, the king of Han, he would not abolish the prince and set up the king of Han as the prince.

And the reason why Li Shicheng was able to discover this was because he often contacted Zhu Di, he was only in the military camp before, and rarely came into contact with Zhu Di, but during the Northern Expedition, although he still joined the army, he was able to directly face the emperor, a smart person, he could naturally get the news he wanted.

And what determines a person's fate is often just a choice, although the king of Han is heroic, but in the end it is still the prince Zhu Gaochi who controls the Ming Dynasty, so after Li Shicheng followed Zhu Di back to the capital, he changed to the prince Zhu Gaochi.

However, although Ye Xing knew the reason why Li Shicheng betrayed the Han King Zhu Gaoxi and switched to the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, he didn't know if this reason was the reason why Li Shicheng was killed, so I guess it shouldn't be!
