Chapter 16: Burying the Body

Li Po was not alarmed.

The camp is actually a closed world, outsiders don't want to come in, and people inside don't want to go out.

There are no uneven heroes here, and there will be no idle people who are busy watching the lively idlers.

So, he quickly took a look at the half-collapsed grass hut, and then walked over and dragged the tall and thin corpse over and stacked it on top of the cripple.

Pick up the cripple's arm and wrap it around the lanky man's neck.

Simple infighting, and as for the murder scene that ended up together, it was almost arranged.

Of course, this can't stand the scrutiny of a veteran in solving cases, but who will mobilize the crowd for the life and death of two displaced people?

After hastily arranging it, Li Po bent down to pick up the lame's short knife and took it out to take a look.

A very peculiar kind of knife.

It is very short, from the handle to the tip of the knife, it is estimated to be about three feet, which is a little shorter than the standard blade of the Sui army.

The workmanship and roughness, but much better than the short blade brought back from the grassland, which shows that the casting process of the Great Sui is really not comparable to that of the grassland tribes.

This is normal, no matter what period the Central Plains Empire is in, in terms of craftsmanship, it has an overwhelming advantage over the north.

This is a privately cast short knife, because Li Po has seen and used several old soldiers' weapons in the stockade, and their knives are engraved with the name of the caster and the fire seal of the government.

And this kind of privately cast knife is definitely not as good as the Sui army's standard blade in terms of workmanship.

But the two exiles carried sharp blades on their bodies, which can only show that the private weapons of the Great Sui have been flooded to a certain extent.

Li Po didn't think about it so much, he just played with the short knife.

The short knife stretched forward from the handle, making the middle part of the short blade appear wide, and when it reached the blade, it suddenly narrowed again, and the oblique edge was like a sword.

As a result, this short knife also has two functions: slashing and stabbing.

Put the knife into the sheath and insert it into your waist.

He looked in the straw hut for a while, and since the two thieves were doing that kind of business, they naturally wouldn't run out of money.

Although the black hole was empty, Li Po quickly found the private collection of the two guys.

Under the bunk of two people, the soil is very soft......

Li Po didn't stay any longer, digging a hole at this time would definitely not be possible, so he could only wait for the matter to pass, and then quietly come to hunt for treasures.

Li Po slipped back to his grass house unhurriedly and waited for the dawn.

Li Chun hadn't slept yet, and saw Li Po coming back wrapped in a cold wind.

didn't wait for Li Po to come in, he immediately jumped up and rushed over, hugging Li Po's waist.

"Big brother, you're back......"

Li Po rubbed his head, "What do you say, go in and sleep." ”

After a night without saying anything, Li Po got up in the morning, and waited until he drank the unique gruel of Mayi City, and there was no movement, and he couldn't help complaining, how could the bureaucratic atmosphere in Mayi City be so heavy, and two people died, and there was no movement at this time.

This is a big deviation from his imagination.

In fact, it wasn't until late afternoon that Luo San entered the camp camp.

This kid is also hard, and the work of digging pits and burying people seems to have been given to him.

There were no officials who came to investigate the scene, only Luo San took a turn around the half-fallen broken grass hut and defined the murder.

The two guys beat each other to death in the middle of the night.

However, what made Li Po angry was that as a friend, Luo San asked Li Po to go with him to dig a pit and bury people.

That's not all, Luo San also proudly dug out two jars of copper coins from the broken grass house, and with this windfall, Luo San said that he would invite Li Po to drink for two days.

Let Li Po hate not be able to knock this kid's head.

However, this is also the first time that Li Po has walked out of the gate of Mayi City since he entered Mayi City.

Moreover, this time he also saw several other soldiers guarding the city gates.

There is no need to describe the crooked melons and cracked dates one by one, this is a team of five people, one person is missing, two are looking at the city, they stay in the arrow tower at the head of the city, and two are watching the city gate under the city.

With the addition of a goatee, there are five people in total.

The goatee's surname is Wei, and Wu Chang's surname is Wei Chi.

The name of this Wu Commander was like thunder to Li Po's ears.

Wei Chigong, the word Jingde, should be a descendant of Xianbei, of course, it may also be a Han with the surname Xianbei, who knows?

Wei Chi Jingde, who will be ranked as a prince in the future, is now just a bitter city gate pawn, and he is called by Luo Shixin's black guys, and he has no temper at all.

Li Po didn't make a fuss, Ma Yi Juncheng is still Li Jing now, and Wei Chigong is a god horse?

Once the storm comes, these people will take advantage of the situation, but now, they are just some flies and dogs.

Li Po didn't have the heart to climb the dragon and join the meeting, the cold wind of winter had almost annihilated all his enthusiasm, and he was only looking forward to the early arrival of spring.

In the end, there were two dead people, Captain Wei Chi called a few of his poor subordinates to one place, and told him to go around, and if the person died, it would be over, not to mention that the dead were still a homeless person, don't go out and say anything.

As for Li Po, Captain Wei Chi automatically ignored it.

Don't look at people who are just a captain, but in the eyes of others, you are probably not as good as a dog.

But Li Po still heard some strange things from the solemn advice of Captain Wei Chi.

Later, I asked Luo San, and I learned that since the county prince took office, Ma Yi has a rule of death, that is, death from illness, starvation, freezing to death in the city, and so on.

Anyway, let's talk about it, all kinds of ways to die can be done, but there can be no murder.

Once someone dies by a sword soldier, it must be investigated to the end.

So in the past few years, those who dare to use knives to hurt people in the city are almost extinct, and no matter how vicious the swordsmen are, they only dare to draw knives to scare a few words, and those who dare to kill people on the street and disregard people's lives are not one.

The two who died this time actually belong to the category of murder.

But it's still the old saying, there are policies and countermeasures, not to mention that there are still two displaced people who died, so there is no need to report it.

And he was not caught by the inspector under the master, and it was over if he buried the person, as long as his own people didn't go out and say anything, there would be no trouble.

Li Po was very happy to hear it, although he was the one who killed him, he didn't want the place where he would live in the future to be a messy world.

The place where the man was buried was in a forest north of the city.

This is the mass grave in Mayi City, where the homeless people are buried, the people who have no family to rely on are also buried here, and even some poor families will not have a proper burial place when they die.

So this place is gloomy, uninhabited, as if there is a dead air shrouded in it, which makes people very uncomfortable.

Li Po and Luo San only dug a shallow pit and hastily buried the two corpses.

Killing people and burying corpses, this can be regarded as destroying corpses, right?

Li Po couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, looked at Luo San again, and said in his heart, it seems that such friends will really be indispensable in the future.
