Shen Wansha and He Lianyu do tracking tasks; Lu Li connected with the government, analyzed and inspected the latest corpses, and actively discussed the work with Yu Zhi, and communicated the latest news with Wei Zhutou; Zhao Shu was concerned about the safety of several people, and at the same time patiently waited for the person who intended to destroy the sky.

All of the analysis of the case was done in private, and no one knew about it except for the people involved. The murderer in this case has been doing the crime several times and has never been caught, and he is a little cunning if he is exposed, and it will be more difficult to solve the case if he is exposed to the wind and grass.

All of them were carried out in a tense and orderly manner.

But at this juncture, there were suddenly rumors in the market.

I don't know where to start, as if overnight, rumors spread and almost everyone was talking about the decapitation.

"Did you hear that, did you hear that? There's a murderous demon on our realm! ”

"This man eats human flesh and drinks human blood, and he likes to cut off people's heads and cook soup the most!"

"My brother-in-law's uncle's neighbor's uncle's youngest son has a friend who catches fast, and I heard that the autopsy room is full of headless corpses, and he cheated the corpses several times at night!"

"The world is uneven, take care of your family, don't go out alone, especially at night!"

……

At first, it was a rumor like this. Rumors passed through the market, and the people's mouths flowed, becoming more and more exaggerated, and people began to dare not go out at night, and they also walked together during the day, which was quite a bit of a rumor.

Lu Li's eyebrows furrowed, he was very worried, with such a big formation, as long as the murderer was still in Jingzhao Mansion, it was impossible not to hear it......

Zhao Shu rubbed Lu Li's brows with his fingertips, "Wei Zhutou will not relax, and I will also help to look around." "So, don't be so upset.

"What if he runs away?" With itchy eyebrows, Lu Li pulled down Zhao Shu's hand, held it a little harder, and motioned to the person opposite to be obedient.

Obviously, it is a hand that likes to play with a scalpel, but it is smooth and soft to the touch, like fine silk, but not as cold as silk...... Lu Li's hands are always so warm and delicate that he is reluctant to let go.

Zhao Shu wrapped his soft and slender hand with his backhand, and the corners of his eyes flew, "Just chase it." ”

The smile on the corner of his lips was obvious, and the bottom of his eyes was careless, but his deep voice was mixed with the slightest wisp of killing intent, or the confidence that he was determined to achieve.

He can catch anyone he wants.

Lu Li's heart was warm, and he was stunned for a moment before he lowered his eyes and smiled. I don't know where this person's confidence comes from, but this kind of domineering declaration is really inspiring, and he is immediately relieved.

Skynet is magnificent, as long as you don't give up and follow the clues all the time, you will definitely find the murderer.

Wei Zhutou was really furious when he heard the rumors, and followed the clues of the people all the way down, and really found out that a subordinate of the government was stuffed in. He despises this kind of person the most, the business of catching fast is different from others, there is a certain danger, if you come in to play, you really take it out to investigate the case, maybe you don't know how to die. For the sake of work efficiency and at the same time to protect these people, he never took them on errands, but he didn't expect these people to have opinions and make him stumble!

Wei Zhutou threw himself into the fiery campaign to clean up his subordinates......

After learning about this, Fu Yin issued instructions: the tolerance personnel took the lead, actively eliminated the rumors, guided the people's thoughts, and stifled the possibility of civil unrest.

The rumors slowly dissipated.

Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was okay, who would have thought that a new wave of rumors had started again!

The nature of this rumor is completely different from the last time, if the last time the people were warned with fear, this time it is a cheerful welcome!

"Don't be afraid, the decapitated messenger only kills bad people, never innocent people!"

"I heard that there is not a single civilian who was beheaded, they are all officials!"

"Yes, they are all evil officials who are corrupt and pervert the law, and loot the people's fat and ointment!"

"The beheaded-off messenger has done what everyone wants to do, but dare not do, he is simply a hero!"

……

Since ancient times, the act of righteousness and courage will be advocated, in the ancient society, the heroes of 'robbing the rich and helping the people' often appear, such a style of talk together, a spread of ten or ten to a hundred, the more it is spread to the truth, the more it is spread more and more exaggerated, no one among the people knows what the murderer's surname is, no one has understood what the murderer's character is, what he has done, and has not verified whether the news is true, so he will publicize it independently.

They gave the murderer a nice name, the Beheading Messenger, and they supported him, saying that he was the embodiment of justice, and hoped that he would continue to do the right thing for heaven and benefit the world.

There were stubborn teenagers who had begun to play all sorts of dangerous games, and they went out in groups at night, wandering around the remote places, hoping to meet the beheading messenger and encourage him in person; Some even shouted slogans offering to support a beheading messenger, and if the messenger agreed, he could make a mark on the stone outside the wall of his house at night.

……

"It's a dangerous situation." Lu Li put down the teacup, the corners of his eyes drooped slightly, and there was a deep worry between his eyebrows.

For the teenagers, they have a fun game; For the people, they have an additional guardian of justice; But for the government, Great Xia is one more threat.

Indeed, in history, it is not uncommon for heroes to 'rob the rich and help the people', but under what circumstances did they appear? It is when society is corrupt and the superior is incompetent, it is preached, and it becomes people's faith and salvation.

And all kinds of civil violence, uprisings, and even the beginning of the change of dynasty, the Thai half came from this. When the people under the control of the imperial power do not believe in the royal family, but believe in a certain person who appears in the sky to 'act bravely', the imperial power is no longer stable.

The people can carry the boat or overturn the boat, and the energy of the people is so powerful to gather and gather bit by bit.

Is the current Great Xia court corrupt? Is the superior incompetent?

Not. Since Emperor Taijia ascended the throne, he has worked hard and has thousands of ambitions, but he is not in a hurry, step by step, and comes steadily. Lu Li can fully see from the books and newspapers of the past years that Daxia is now actively developing, political, economic, and legal...... are all changing for the better. And militarily, there is King Ping's ghost animal that makes foreigners frightened, and the Great Xia border pass will not be uneasy.

If this continues, as long as Emperor Taijia does not convuls, King Ping does not rebel, and the IQ of the successor emperor does not fall, the Great Xia Dynasty will definitely reach an unprecedented peak.

However, in the early stage of development, it is very dangerous for a chivalrous person to appear similar to 'robbing the rich and helping the poor'.

Lu Li understands, and it is impossible for Zhao Shu not to see it.

It's just that Lu Li can understand this, and Zhao Zhu was a little surprised. A person's status and education determine the height he stands, the angle from which he looks, and the direction of his thinking.

This little guy, what kind of smart Cheng dù is?

"No problem." Zhao Zhu didn't worry about this matter, no matter how bad the trouble was, it was just a small Jingzhao Mansion, not to mention that he was just a murderer who didn't blink, even if someone deliberately created a topic, he could find out and kill people.

If he is here, he will let a qiē disappear in the bud.

Lu Li was still a little worried, "...... I hope there will be good news for the government. ”

It's a pity that the delivery from the head of the guard is not good news.

The inquisitive boys did not encounter the beheaded, and the one who shouted the slogan found a notch in the stone outside the wall.

Light white, sharp, deep sharps notch.

"The decapitated ......" The messenger who came over to deliver the message trembled a little, as if he was very afraid, "The beheaded messenger has made a statement!" "The decapitated messenger only kills officials, he is a public official, will he be unlucky and killed one day!

Zhao Zhu's slender eyes narrowed, and the murderous aura lingered in his eyes, he was really angry.

After reading the letter written by Wei Zhutou, Lu Li's eyes lit up, turned around, and finally smiled. He smiled warmly, and his voice comforted the messenger softly, "What are you afraid of?" It's just that some people take advantage of the opportunity to use the means. It is likely that the person who scratched the stone outside the wall of this person is not the murderer, but just a bystander who wants to fish in troubled waters and take advantage. If you believe this, tomorrow there will be a prophecy on the stone, saying who will die next, what shall you do? ”

"Is that really the case?" The messenger's eyes widened.

Lu Li smiled, "As an official of the government, you have to help Shangguan protect the people of this house, the more chaotic it is, the more you can't mess up, if you are in chaos, how can the people be good?" The people are simple and easy to be used, we know that the murderer is a murderer who does not blink an eye, but the people still think he is a good person. ”

Lu Li's words of reminder were meaningful, and although his voice was slow, it was enough to arouse the messenger's thoughts.

What the murderer wants to do is not necessarily, what the people are doing is clear! There is such a-stirring stick in Jingzhao Mansion, and it is obviously a lot of trouble if you don't catch it, so instead of worrying about your own life now, it is better to act immediately!

As long as the murderer is at large, all tolerances are more threatened than the people, but as long as you catch him, you will be solved!

Seeing that the messenger's eyes were becoming clearer and clearer, Lu Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when the messenger gave up his hand to leave, he reminded him, "These words can be relayed to the head of the guard." ”

"Yes. Thank you, Mr. Lou! ”

After the messenger left, Lu Li's smile was put away, and his expression was not as relaxed as Fang Cai, because-"The one who is marked on the stone may be someone else, or it may indeed be the murderer." ”

Zhao Shu frowned, and waved his hand to signal the window sill secret guard to monitor that house.

He thought about it and stood up, ready to go outside to take a look, but Lu Li took his hand.

"Huh?" Although he likes to be with Lu Li, he is down to business now.

Lu Li didn't know what he was thinking, but he just thought, "It's not much use for you to go out now." If we can know where the wind is blowing, wouldn't we be able to infer how heavy the rain will be? ”

"You mean......" Zhao Zhujian's eyebrows raised slightly, and a fine light flashed in his eyes.

"I said, there is something wrong with these rumors, and someone should be pushing them." Lu Li pulled Zhao Shu to sit down, "We can analyze the purpose from the behavior, and then infer the result from the purpose. ”

In fact, he can think about it himself, but if someone discusses it, it will come to a faster result. Zhao Shu is very smart, and he has always had a tacit understanding with him, and they will be able to get twice the result with half the effort when they think together.

"Know what it is, know why it is."

"You can hit it in one shot."

The two looked at each other, and their eyes flowed, which was the joy of the heart and the joy of the heart.

"Let's get started."

"Come!"

Zhao Zhu personally took the pot and poured the tea, but Lu Li thought that the table above the couch was in the way, pushed it away, and sat cross-legged with Zhao Zhu, his eyes flashing, "In just a few days, rumors appeared, depressed, and rose again in a different way, stirring the hearts of the entire Jingzhao Mansion, and the atmosphere was tense, I thought this must have been deliberate, what do you think?" ”

Zhao agreed, but he disagreed with Lu Li's previous suspicion of the 'ideological control of the people's uprising', "The pattern is too small, and it is impossible for the country to be harmed, and if someone wants to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne, they will not design it like this." "The success rate is too low.

"Then it's only for the murderer in this case."

Zhao Shu nodded.

Lu Li said, "The murder has lasted for a long time, and it is normal for the news to leak, but who would deliberately promote such rumors, what is the meaning?" What kind of benefits can be obtained? ”

Zhao Shu groaned, "Want to take advantage of the situation? Want someone else to die? Want to set up a false accusation? ”

As in the case of the genius, if a wise person thinks about it, builds up a momentum, shouts slogans to beckon the murderer to come out, and if the murderer can appear, the two of them can negotiate a deal, and the murderer may be able to kill for this person; Or no one answers, the person who shouts the slogan can design it himself, such as writing a name and saying that he will die next, so that one day this person dies, everyone will think that it was the murderer, and they will not suspect the smart person.

"Indeed, the murderer in this case is extremely heinous, cruel and tyrannical, and extremely good at killing, summoning such a villain is likely to seek the lives of others......" Lu Li's fingers lightly twisted the placket of his clothes, and his thoughts sank in his clear eyes, "So, who does the person behind the scenes want to kill?" ”

"First expose the news of the murderer in Jingzhao Mansion, so that the people are frightened and the murderer is worried......"

"Then reverse its image, let the people care, and even defend his ......"

"It's encouragement!" Lu Li's fingers tightened suddenly, "The people behind the scenes are encouraging the murderer!" He hoped that the murderer would be a little more bold! ”

Zhao also agrees. He watched Lu Li's slender fingers wrap around his knees, his eyes were a little deep, but he didn't forget to continue the topic, "The murderer is in Jingzhao Mansion...... Who knows? ”

"Officials everywhere, public officials, and people like you and me who accidentally bumped into us. This case is brutal, the government hides it in order to startle the snake, and the people who meet it unexpectedly don't dare to speak out because they are frightened in their hearts......" Lu Li's eyes were empty, thinking that he might know, and the people who cared about the case, his thoughts turned around, and he thought of another place, "The murderer in this case chose a special target, how can the people behind the scenes be sure that the murderer will definitely help him kill someone?" ”

The two of them suddenly looked at each other at the same time, and thought of a possibility, "Silver embezzlement case!" ”

The murderers killed all officials, and they were all related to the silver embezzlement case, which lasted nearly two years, and countless people were killed, they can know that the people standing behind the silver embezzlement case must be more clear! And the murderers are very good at hiding, they only learned because the murder was exposed, and the trouble was big, as stakeholders, the people who embezzled the silver case may know earlier than them!

As long as these people know who is dead, they will know where the murderer is!

"But shouldn't they want to catch the murderer more than we do?" Lu Li's identity leaned forward slightly, closer to Zhao Shu, and the brilliance in his eyes flowed, "They should help us hide the clues, secretly send the news over, and let us arrest him." Instead of helping us arrest people, they encourage the murderers, who do they want to kill......"

Zhao Zhu's eyes were sharp, and he said a name in his mouth, "Yu Tianyi." ”

Lu Li reacted and shouted, "They want to kill Yu Tianyi!" ”

But Yu Tianyi was not the main culprit in the Zhenyue case and sent to Beijing...... Looking at Zhao Zhu's expression, Lu Li stroked his forehead, "Okay, Yu Tianyi is still in Jingzhao Mansion." ”

Zhao Shu touched Lu Li's forehead and pulled his hand down, "The silver corruption case is a serious matter, and the government can't be ignorant, and it will detain Yu Tianyi here, probably to attract people into the urn." ”

Lu Li understood. According to the imperial order, how can he not do things? Previously, he and Zhao Shu handed over all the evidence of the silver embezzlement case, and it was strange that the inspector did not act, but it was just ...... How did Zhao Shu know?

Zhao Zhu seemed to have a hard time speaking, "I have some friends in the rivers and lakes, ......" It seems that the identities of these people are inconvenient to disclose.

"You don't need to say it," Lu Li stretched out his hand to stop it with a very clear look, "I know the result." So these people want to lure the murderer to kill Yu Tianyi, and Yu Tianyi is not innocent anyway. ”

"I'm afraid I still want to kill two birds with one stone," Zhao Shu said with frost, "not only solve Yu Tianyi, but also take the opportunity to kill this murderer against them." ”

Lu Li gasped, "What a good calculation!" ”

In fact, the cell where he was imprisoned in Tianyi was not in the government prison, and Zhao Zhu found another suitable place to lay out, with loose guards on the outside and tight on the inside, waiting for someone to come. Hearing this, Zhao Zhu patted Lu Li's back, "They won't succeed." ”

The words are not heavy, but they are full of anger, just like a noble and arrogant nobleman who suddenly becomes a bloodthirsty and violent killing god, who can decide the life and death of others with his words.

It was evening, and the night swallowed up the last rays of the sunset, and it was all dark.

In the middle of summer in June, Lu Li felt a chill and couldn't help but shiver.

Zhao Shu thought he was scared, so he simply grabbed it with his big hand, hugged the person into his arms, and gently kissed his forehead, "Don't be afraid." ”

"I ...... No. Lu Li didn't want to say that he was frightened by Zhao Zhu's rarely violent expression, so he closed his eyes and adjusted his feelings.

It is rare to see the fragile appearance of the person in his arms, Zhao Shu couldn't help but hug Lu Li tighter, this feeling of being relied on and needed is a little strange, but the taste is extremely good......

Just as he was thinking about taking a step further, someone suddenly came running outside the door, Lu Li got up violently and pushed Zhao Shu away.

Zhao Zhu: ......

The person who came was also a messenger sent by Wei Zhutou to deliver the letter, saying that there was a new rumor in the market: Yu Tianyi, who killed the daughter of the county lord and shamed the entire Jingzhao Mansion, was still in Jingzhao Mansion!

What a story!

Lu Li's eyes flickered, and these people were too happy to play.

Zhao Shu got up suddenly and looked at Lu Li, "I'm going to go out." ”

Lu Li understood that Zhao Shu wanted to help guard Yu Tianyi. Although Zhao Zhu has always been very strong, and he is a little domineering, he is upright and enthusiastic, and he appreciates it very much.

So he nodded decisively, "Brother Zhao, let's go, but you need to pay attention to your own safety." ”

Zhao Shu rubbed his hair, took a deep breath, turned around and left, without looking back.

The messenger looked at this scene and didn't understand a little, these two feelings ...... That's nice.

Lu Li stood in front of the window, and only when Zhao Zhu's back disappeared did he say to the messenger in a slow voice: "Sue sù Wei to catch the head, one qiē is no hindrance, please send a few more groups to catch and patrol the streets, and be careful not to get too excited about the people to get hurt." ”

The messenger nodded, repeated the words, and after asking Lu Li if he had no other words, he also left.

The night is as dark as a curtain, the stars are shining, and the crescent moon is like a hook.

The breeze gradually picked up, bringing a hint of moisture in the air, and dark clouds gradually obscured the moonlight.

It's going to rain again.

Lu Li touched his arm and closed the window.

……

Zhao Zhu wore the moonlight and stars on his shoulders, and galloped all the way with the dark guard, jumping towards the dungeon where he was imprisoned in Tianyi.

When choosing the address, Zhao Shu thought of a qiē possibility, all the deployments were interlocking, and the guarantor could come in, but don't think about going out again. He was very confident in this arrangement he had made with his own hands, but tonight for some reason, he was in a somewhat impetuous mood, and he had to come over to see it with his own eyes to rest assured.

This is a private house, with a flat roof and tile walls, which looks ordinary, but there is a hole in the inside. In order to find the people behind the silver embezzlement case, Zhao Shu deliberately put this place on the record in the government office, and put a few officials from Jingzhao Mansion outside to pretend to be confused.

These people didn't know Zhao Zhu, but they could see the token in Zhao Zhu's hand and immediately let him go. Entering the door, it was Zhao Zhu's own secret guard, Yuan Lian was on duty today, and he brought the secret guards to salute.

Zhao Shu waved his hand to let the secret guard get out of the way, and walked all the way to the depths, going through the four gates, until the last gate where he was imprisoned in Tianyi.

"Lord Wang?" Seeing Zhao Shu stop, Yuan Lian was a little puzzled.

"Yu Tianyi ......"

"It's inside." Yuan Lian immediately understood that Zhao Zhu wanted to see the prisoner, and reached out to push the door open.

In a closed room nine feet long and nine feet deep, one sat on the floor with his back to the door, his hair unkempt and his clothes dirty, and he was covered by heavy chains from his neck to his hands and legs, and five chains were extended, which were tied high to the four corners of the roof and the walls.

The man heard the door knock and turned his head slowly. His face was dirty, his beard was unkempt, he was blind, and he held a thin slice of meat in his hand.

Zhao Shu recognized it at a glance, this is Yu Tianyi, that's right.

The murderer was stirring up the wind and rain outside, and Lu Li's worried body trembled, there was still meat to eat in this product?

Zhao Shu was angry and shook his big hand-

Yu Tianyi was thrown against the wall by the violent palm wind, and the heavy iron chains smashed into his chest with inertia, he spat out blood, slowly slid down from the wall, and directly softened into a puddle.

"Who gave him meat!" Zhao Zhu was furious.

Yuan Lian was a little stunned, didn't you say that he couldn't die now, let him eat and drink......

"Just have a breath, don't get used to it!"

Yuan Lian glanced at Yu Tianyi, who had passed out and didn't know how long it would take to get up, and shook his head. Because of the previous confession, they used a lot of torture for Yu Tianyi, don't look at him still being able to sit, his thighs are already all too bad, and there is no good meat on his body, if it weren't for the use of good medicine and food, this person may have died long ago.

It's still called habitual...... The prince is about to be angry, begging the princess to save him!

Zhao Zhu checked all the places, and after confirming that there would be no problems, he called Yuan Lian over to advise him.

Waiting left and right to see no one coming, his thoughts began to diverge.

The people behind the silver embezzlement case must know where Yu Tianyi is, and they are sure that the murderer is still in Jingzhao Mansion, so they will act like this. The bait is so heavy, if he is the murderer, he has already come, why hasn't he moved for so long?

Could it be ...... What else does this mean?

Do you want to lure yourself away? What does Inkai do?

…… Lu Li!

This name appeared in his mind, Zhao Shu jumped up violently, didn't say a word, and flew directly in the direction of the inn!

If something happens to Lu Li......

He doesn't want to have this if!

Frightened and rushed back all the way, Zhao Shu immediately pushed open the door of Lu Li's room.

Lu Li is not here!

Not even the secret guards who stayed by Lu Li's side!

Zhao Zhu's heart immediately cooled.
