The stabbing of an official to death is a very serious incident, and it can be compared with the crime of rebellion.

The crowd of people outside the city was still in turmoil, and there was a thick and uncontrollable atmosphere of panic in the crowd, and the atmosphere of panic was constantly spreading, deepening, from one point to several points, and finally gradually becoming a face, and as the panic spread, the crowd gradually swarmed towards the fence at the edge of the tent area like a torrent crashing on the shore.

The officers of Jinyang County and the guards brought by Li Zhi lined up in front of the flow of people, like a line of defense against floods, desperately making a last effort, trying to resist the crowd and break through the fence and flee in all directions.

Li Su's face became more and more gloomy, and he pursed his lips and didn't say a word for a long time.

Li Zhi was so panicked that he had no idea, and looked at Li Su as if asking for help, and the guards around him saw that he didn't react, and they didn't care about being presumptuous, and forcibly took Li Zhi's arms and went to the city gate in the opposite direction.

"Fifth Uncle Fang!" Li Su said suddenly.

"In!" Fang Lao Wu clenched his fists.

"Pass my order, the messengers and the janissaries all let go of the fence, let the people leave, and do not forcibly stop them, let alone scold and scold!" Li Su said coldly.

Fang Lao Wu was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood, and hurried away with his orders.

Fu Shanyan, the commander who was closely guarding Li Zhi, also showed appreciation.

Those with a little insight understand that Li Su's order at this moment is correct. Just now, someone secretly lit a fire, the strict national law is in front of them, and the people are a group of refugees with no sense of security, this incident, the panic and commotion of the crowd is normal, and they are afraid of being investigated by the government, so no matter who did this thing, most people subconsciously chose to escape, at this time, if the servants forcibly block or scold, it is equivalent to adding a fire to the powder keg that is about to explode, and the people will not explode, this explosion, the incident can be out of control.

It is better to block than to sparse, Dayu's concept of water control is not only to control water, but also to govern the people.

Turning his head to look at Fu Shanyan, Li Su said, "You protect Your Highness, I'll go outside the city to have a look." ”

Fu Shanyan just hugged his fists, but when he saw Li Zhi struggling desperately, he blushed and said: "I am the son of the emperor, and my father ordered me to go to Jinyang to appease and help the people, how can I avoid it at this moment?" Brother Zizheng, I'll go with you! ”

Shaking his arms hard, Li Zhi turned his head and glared at Fu Shanyan and said angrily: "You dogs, want to trap me for being disloyal, unfilial, and unrighteous? ”

Li Su hesitated, glanced at Li Zhi deeply, and said with a smile: "In this way, Your Highness will follow, General Fu, just protect Your Highness." ”

Seeing that Fu Shanyan still refused to let go, Li Su accentuated his tone and said: "General Fu, the situation in Jinyang is critical, Your Majesty sent me here not to enjoy the mountains and rivers, since I have embarked on this road, I should be prepared and responsible to go to the difficulty!" The same should be true of the prince. ”

Li Zhi hurriedly nodded: "What Brother Zizheng said is exactly what I want, Fu Shanyan, if you don't let go of your dog, you will go back to Chang'an to enjoy happiness!" This king doesn't need your protection! ”

Fu Shanyan's face changed, hesitated for a moment, glared at Li Su viciously, and finally reluctantly let go of Li Zhi.

Li Su and Li Zhi looked at each other and smiled, then walked side by side and walked firmly towards the outside of the city gate.

Beside the two, dozens of guards drew their swords and surrounded them tightly, watching the commotion outside the city as if they were facing a great enemy as if they were on the verge of a great enemy.

Li Su's expression was calm, as if he was strolling leisurely, turned his head to look at Li Zhi, and said lightly: "Those refugees may soon become chaotic people, or even anti-people, and we will walk out of the city is like a sheep into the mouth of a tiger, Your Highness, are you afraid?" ”

Li Zhi looked nervous, swallowed his saliva, tried to straighten his chest, and said, "Brother Zizheng is not afraid, and I am not afraid!" ”

Li Su sneered and said, "Who said I'm not afraid?" I'm actually scared to death, I can't wait to turn around and run at this moment, the farther I run, the better, even if I flee back to Chang'an and be punished by His Majesty, it's better than being beaten to death by a group of chaotic people, Your Highness, the more I go, the more weak my heart becomes, what about you? ”

Li Zhi was stunned, this is not the right way to open it! It stands to reason that you shouldn't be fearless and righteous with a face that is awe-inspiring and sacrosanct to boil yourself a pot of fragrant chicken soup for the soul? For example, "Although there are tens of millions of people, I will go" and the like, watching the chaos and stirring up their own blood, and then stupidly going out of the city to die, leaving the world with a touch of the lonely and tragic back of the great shore under the sunset......

But ......, Li Su actually said such a thing at such a critical juncture......

You don't play cards according to the rules, what about the routine? Yes? What do I need?

Li Zhi suddenly deflated as if he had been punctured by a punctured tire, and at this moment, he didn't need Li Su to say any more, he already had an urge to turn around and run.

Glancing at Li Zhi, whose face was getting more and more ugly, the expression on Li Su's face became more and more happy, like a fox who had picked up a hundred chickens for nothing, and his eyes flashed with a mischievous light.

Even he felt strange, at this moment, why did he smile so happily as if he was crazy, he should find a doctor to take a look after returning to Chang'an, perhaps, it is not bad to talk to Daoist Sun Simiao about how to make alchemy into an immortal, the symptoms of everyone's madness are relatively similar......

…………

Facts have proved that the outside of the city is not the tiger's den in Longtan, Fu Shanyan and other dozens of guards closely escorted Li Zhi and the others to the edge of the fence in the tent area, and the people were in a panic and fled in a mess, and no one noticed the existence of Li Zhi and his party.

Li Su stood outside the fence, frowning and looking at the panicked people fleeing not far away, the mother-in-law screamed, the children cried, and there was a chaotic scene. On the huge flat ground, the crowd panicked and rushed to the wolves, but in the middle there was an open space that no one dared to approach, and in the open space, three people who looked like officials of Jinyang County fell in a pool of blood, and the blood soaked a large area of yellow land, accompanied by the panicked footsteps around, it looked so sad.

Li Su pursed his lips, raised his hand and pointed to the distance and said, "Come on, remove all the fences, let the people decide to stay, and the government will never leave it difficult." ”

The guards and servants took the order, stepped forward to remove the fence, and then stayed away, watching the people leave with a look of indifference.

The strange thing is that the people who had fled in panic saw that after the government officials moved the fence, they stopped one after another, looking at the expressionless officers in disbelief, and the scene of chaos suddenly fell silent.

Li Su said loudly at the right time: "Fellow villagers, I am Your Majesty's Qinfeng Jingyang County Marquis, I was ordered to inspect Jinyang, and today there was a sudden incident outside the city, but this Hou will never leave difficulties, let alone involve your fathers and elders, to tell the truth, the Jinyang official was assassinated, and the investigation must be investigated, and this matter must not be tolerated!" But Ben Hou can swear never to wronged the innocent, people who have nothing to do with this case, Ben Hou will never teach him to be caught in Mo Bai's injustice, there is a wrong, there is a debtor, heaven and earth, grievances are clear, now, if you still want to leave, Ben Hou will never leave difficult, you can leave with confidence, if someone is willing to stay, as in the past, you can eat two full meals a day, Ben Hou is even more welcome, the government's good shed still distributes food every day, let's do business as usual! Ladies and gentlemen, let you choose whether to go or stay. ”

Some hesitated to leave, and they were afraid that the servants would suddenly turn their faces and take people, some hesitated to stay, and they were worried that what the government said would not count, and for a while, the crowd fell into a stalemate, and no one dared to act rashly for a long time.

Li Su looked up at the sky, it was already morning, and the sun was shining, so the corners of his mouth hooked, turned around and waved his hand to the man in the distance, and shouted: "Today is an hour early, and the meal will start immediately!" ”

The men hurriedly stirred the rice porridge in the big iron pot, and soon a tempting aroma of porridge filled the flat ground, and many people squirmed in their throats, and their eyes greedily stared at the dozen or so iron pots with white mist.

Then, at last, an old woman could not help herself, and quietly took a step forward, and with the first there was immediately a second, and a third, and soon, almost all the people walked involuntarily towards the iron pot as if their souls had been controlled.

There were still a dozen people standing at the edge of the tent area, and these people stood still, looking hesitant, and finally chose to leave.

Li Su watched these people leave with a calm expression, Fang Lao Wu quickly glanced at Li Su, and Li Su shook his head imperceptibly.

He understood what Fang Lao Wu meant, but he felt that this move was meaningless, according to common sense, after the incident, the real murderer should have chosen to leave with those people as soon as possible, and there was no reason to stay to see the excitement, after all, the risk of exposure was very high, and the murderer had no reason to stay and challenge his survival limit.

Even if the murderer is really one of the dozen or so people who left, he won't gain much if he takes it, or that sentence, the people who do it themselves are often marginal cannon fodder characters, and the people behind the scenes will not be stupid enough to let him know what the inside story will leave trouble for himself.

Two or three thousand people ran away, but fortunately, the nearly seven thousand people left behind have been appeased by Li Su's words, and at this moment everyone is holding bowls and queuing up in an orderly manner to receive porridge, and their mood is relatively stable.

Li Su breathed a sigh of relief, there is no hurry to investigate the murderer, what should come out will come out eventually, sooner or later, the most important thing is to stabilize people's hearts and not make a bigger mess, this is enough.

Seeing Li Su put all this in order, Li Zhi's eyes lit up with admiration, and he kept admiring "wow" and "wow" beside him.

Li Su stroked his dog's head with a smile as usual, and said: "If you praise me, I will leave it until I return to Chang'an, it doesn't hurt to add oil and vinegar, the more gorgeous the rhetoric, the better, now, what does Your Highness think we should do next?" ”

Li Zhi thought for a while and said: "Carry the bodies of the three messengers back to the county government for autopsy, send someone to investigate and secretly visit, carefully inquire about the cause, and investigate the murderer!" ”

Li Su smiled and praised: "Your Highness has grown, it's good." ”

Li Zhixi said: "In this way, I am ...... No, am I right? ”

Li Su looked at Fang Lao Wu and said in a deep voice: "Send a few people back to the county government and take down Wei Congli!" It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, it's time to take something out of his mouth today! ”

Fang Lao Wu hurriedly left with his fists clenched.

Li Zhi said puzzledly: "Brother Zizheng, didn't you just say that the murderer was investigated?" What do you do with Wei Congli? ”

Li Su smiled: "That's what you said, I didn't say that I wanted to investigate the murderer......"

"But aren't you praising me for my growth?"

Li Su rolled his eyes and ignored him.

Child, it's good to coax, it's really not sincere, praise a few words with a conscience, but you can't coax it all the time, it's still the same sentence, after all, Li Su is not his father, and he has no obligation to take care of the emotions of the little kid at all times......

*******************************************************************

Compared with tracking down the murderers of the three errand soldiers, arraignment is more important than the arraignment of Wei Congli.

The murderer is just cannon fodder, and whether he is caught or not has no impact on the current chaos in Jinyang, but what Wei Congli knows may bring a ray of light to the breakthrough.

"Original" and "end", Li Su has always judged very clearly, and the things that are left to the end are probably only done by a little kid like Li Zhi. Originally, Li Su planned to send someone to investigate and secretly visit, and then interrogate Wei Congli after checking the general context of the large-scale disappearance of the people of Jinyang for no reason, so as to facilitate the two sides to corroborate and solve the mystery, but today's assassination of the errand outside the city was obviously instigated by someone behind the scenes, and he wanted to make a big mess first, so Li Su had to change his strategy and interrogate Wei Congli first.

This is a helpless approach, because the experience of chasing dogs and blood suspense dramas in his previous life told Li Su that if a person knows too many secrets, he will always not live long, and the more he knows, the faster he will die, and if he is a little bloody, maybe he will still have a breath before he dies, trembling and shaking suo intermittently, saying half a sentence "The murderer is ......" and then swallowing decisively, or writing two plausible and bald-haired strokes with a trembling bloody hand, and he will also be decisive halfway through writing, so he has to leave a suspense to make people want to divide his body into 10,000 pieces in minutes......

Li Su didn't want to be the protagonist of this kind of bloody drama for some reason, so he had to take out what he wanted before Wei Congli was killed.

Although Wei Congli is the "original", the Praetorian Guards of Li Zhi and Li Su are crowded, and before the two of them entered the county office, someone below had already inquired about the reason for the assassination of the officer.

The reason is very simple, the servants patrol the tent area, two people who look like people get up early and laugh and pee in the residential area, the messenger finds that the decisive stop, and sharply orders the two to go to the toilet area to solve, the two do not listen, and soon the two sides have a dispute, and then the two at the same time took out a short knife, stabbed the three unsuspecting officers to death, the onlookers saw that they had killed someone, and they killed the officer, so they were frightened, and the two murderers took advantage of the situation and shouted, "We killed the official, and you can't run away from the government, Killing an official is equivalent to a major crime of rebellion, so when will you not run away at this time? ”。 After saying that, the surrounding people were instantly confused, and the two murderers hid themselves in the crowd and left together while the people fled, and disappeared.

After Li Su listened to the report, he frowned and was silent.

Li Zhi blinked and said, "This is just an ordinary homicide case caused by a dispute, it seems to be ...... It's not that complicated, right? ”

Li Su glanced at him obliquely, and said, "Create a terrifying atmosphere and incite the people to make trouble, not to mention it, will ordinary people carry short knives with them and shoot ruthlessly and decisively?" ”

Li Zhi touched his nose, laughed a few times, and had nothing to say.

…………

The two of them walked into the county office, Fang Lao Wu was the first to greet him, Li Su looked at him with fear, seeing that Fang Lao Wu's expression was normal, Li Su finally relieved himself.

Fortunately, it's not so bloody, it seems that Wei Congli has not been killed, and there is no chance to create suspense for everyone.

In fact, Wei Congli lived a very nourishing life, these days Li Su was forced to stay in the county government bag to eat and live, saying that it was a guest but in fact he was under house arrest, Wei Congli seemed to be a little more mellow and fat than before, in Jinyang County, in this year of disaster, Wei Congli's change is really a little detached from the masses, and he is going farther and farther away in the wrong weight.

Li Su couldn't help but sigh when he saw Wei Congli's appearance, and secretly hated the ...... who fed him for nothing Keeper? Say it's a package of food and shelter, you can't be too sincere, a full meal and a hungry meal, it's almost meaningful, why waste food.

At this moment, Wei Congli's expression was very frightened, just now Fang Lao Wu and others broke into the door, and the words "the comer is not good" were clearly written on their faces, and everyone put him out of the room, making him squat in the courtyard honestly, Wei Congli immediately understood that the good days of being fat in vain were gone forever.

Seeing Li Su walking in front of him with a smile on his face, Wei Congli didn't say a word, and fell to his knees, his expression becoming more and more panicked.

"Hou Ye spares his life, the villain really doesn't know what crime he has committed, please Hou Ye Mingxian."

Li Su squatted down with a smile, looked directly at him with his eyes, and said, "Outside the guard, how about we make a game?" ”

Wei Congli was stunned: "What...... What game? ”

"A new game, called 'Truth or Dare', is to ask each other a question, the other party can choose to tell the truth, or you can choose to take a big risk, 'Dare' means that if you can't answer the question, then you have to do an unbelievably difficult thing, such as stripping naked, slapping Sun County, etc., otherwise choose to answer the question truthfully, well, it's very exciting and fun."

Wei Congli was so frightened that his face was like earth, shaking like chaff, but Li Zhi, an irrelevant little kid on the side, suddenly had a light in his eyes, and said with great interest: "This game is so interesting, Brother Zizheng, can I also participate?" ”

Li Su turned his head and glared at him fiercely, Li Zhi's head shrank, and his mouth was curled and he didn't squeak.

Looking back, Li Su regained his smile like a spring breeze, and said with a smile: "This is the county government, I am an official, you are the people, I am the master, you are a guest, whether it is an official or a lord, you should have a little demeanor, so, the guard asks questions first, whether it is truth or adventure, if I do it, I will ask questions instead, outside the guard, you ask first." ”

The game is very fresh, people in this era are obviously unheard of, Li Zhi's face is eager to try, but Wei Congli's face is getting whiter and whiter, at this moment, he probably understands what Li Su means, the same as the form of house arrest, this is simply another gentle means of interrogation.

Ai Ai was for a long time, and Wei Congli never spoke.

Li Su didn't show any impatience, and kept a personable smile, waiting for Wei Congli to speak, but the cold light in his eyes became more and more vigorous.

Finally, Wei Congli couldn't stand Li Susenran's gaze and the smile of the Living Hell King, and broke the silence with a trembling.

"So, villain...... The villain is rude, ask Hou Ye a question first......" Wei Congli raised his head and asked pitifully: "Dare to ask Hou Ye...... Did you eat in the morning? ”

Li Su smiled: "I haven't eaten, I'm still hungry, okay, it's time for me to ask, please ask the guard ......."

After a pause, Li Su's tone unconsciously became cold: "May I ask the guard,...... 200,000 people in Jinyang have left their hometowns, and they ...... Where did it go? ”
