"Didn't Chunjiao wait for Your Highness just now? No, she's our number one here! The old bustard said with a puzzled expression.

"Hmph, the old bustard dares to deceive this king, this king asks you, why is it not the beautiful woman that this king wants, but a woman who has no human affairs?"

The old bustard was surprised, and secretly thought: "No, this spring girl has been welcoming guests for many years, how can she still be an untrained woman?" That's not right! ”

"Your Highness, what you said is true?" The old bustard asked in a trembling voice.

Li Jie's face turned blue, and he said angrily: "Presumptuous! Will this king joke with you? ”

"Your Highness's forgiveness!" Then the old bustard said boldly: "Your Highness, then dare to ask why this Chunjiao didn't come with Your Highness?" ”

Li Jie was bored in his heart at this time, and he couldn't help but say angrily when he heard the old bustard's words: "That stinky bitch is still in this palace." ”

"That's... It's better like this, Your Highness, when Chunjiao comes back, we will ask you face to face, what do you think? Your Highness? The old bustard said with a smile on his face.

"Humph! If you don't give this king an explanation for this matter, this king will let your Spring Festival Courtyard be wiped out! Li Jie waved his sleeves and said angrily.

At this moment, a young man dressed in a brocade robe and carrying a long knife suddenly ran in from outside the Spring Festival Courtyard, slightly closer to Li Jie's ear, muttering something.

When Li Jie heard this, his face changed greatly!

Then he said lightly to the old bustard: "Chunjiao is dead!" ”

"Dead?" The old bustard listened, and felt a shock in her heart, Chunjiao is the top brand in her Spring Festival Courtyard, how much silver can she earn for her on this day, and she died like this?

"Chunjiao, you died so miserably..."The old bustard pretended to be sad and cried.

Li Jie watched the old bustard perform coldly, although a human life is understandable to Li Jie, and there are many people who have been killed over the years, but when he thought that the woman who was happy with him just now died, he was still angry in his heart, and the people of this king could only die in the hands of this king.

"Sun Qiu, lead the way!" Li Jie said angrily, then looked at the old bustard and said, "You go too!" ”

"Huh?" The old bustard covered her heart, a little reluctant, although she felt sorry for her head card dead, but she didn't want to see a dead person, a little scared.

People who have done too many things have always been a little taboo about these things.

"Didn't you hear me?" Li Jie said unhappily.

How dare the old bustard disobey Li Jie's meaning, and said with a smile, "I heard clearly, I heard clearly..."

......

Soon, several people arrived at the Yamen of Haihang City.

As soon as Li Jie and his entourage drove to the gate of the Yamen, Gao Liang, the city guard of Haihang City, came out to greet him with a flattering face.

"Your Majesty welcomes His Royal Highness King Qi!" Gao Liang said respectfully beside the carriage.

But Li Jie ignored Gao Liang's small actions, jumped out of the carriage lightly, and then said lightly: "Have you found out who did it?" ”

"Huh?" Gao Liang was caught off guard by the sudden question, and then said with a stupid face: "Your Highness, the lower officials are still investigating, investigating." ”

"Hmph, take this king to see the corpse of the dead!" Li Jie glanced at Gao Liang and said lightly.

"Yes!"

Gao Liang led the group through the front hall of the yamen, and came directly to the backyard from the side, only to see two stools simply supporting a wooden board, and a blood-stained straw mat was casually covered on it, as if the tragic condition of the corpse under it could be seen through the straw mat.

As soon as the group came in, the old bustard couldn't help but cry out when he saw such a situation, "Ah! ”

"Noise!" Li Jie said unhappily, "Palm!" ”

As soon as the words fell, before the old bustard could react, a soldier behind him slapped him, and saw a red handprint suddenly appear on his face.

The old bustard covered the marks on his face with his hands, held back the pain, and did not dare to cry out again, for fear of causing disaster again.

Li Jie only frowned slightly when he saw the layout of the corpses in the backyard, and then said to Gao Liang: "Uncover the straw mat!" ”

"Huh?" Gao Liang was a little caught off guard, but he didn't expect Li Jie to let him do this, so he ordered the master next to him to say, "Lift the straw mat!" After saying that, I secretly rejoiced, fortunately, I also have someone to summon.

Now it was the master's turn to be depressed and timid, so he begged for mercy and set his eyes on Li Jie, but he didn't care about him at all.

For Li Jie, whoever opens it is the same, and he doesn't need to open it anyway.

This may be the advantage of those in power, but to complicate a simple matter.

It's like in a restaurant, the manager instructs the lobby manager to serve a dish, but the lobby manager instructs the foreman to serve the food, and the foreman naturally instructs the waiter to serve the food.

So it's just complicating the process, but the result is the same.

The master reluctantly stepped forward to lift the blood-stained straw mat, holding his breath the whole time, holding back his nausea, as if this was a difficult thing for him to ascend to.

The moment the straw mat was lifted, Gao Liang and the old bustard closed their eyes one after another, trembling with fear.

Li Jie frowned slightly, but he was not afraid, and slowly stepped forward to check the corpse.

As soon as he saw the face of the corpse, Li Jie was sure that this person was the woman who was still happy with him just now, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"What are the results of the autopsy?" Li Jie asked the older man beside him with a fluttering beard.

"Back to His Royal Highness, after the official examination of this female corpse, it was found that there were only two wounds on her body, one on her neck, and one on her chest, which should have been committed by the murderer from the neck, but it was found that she was not completely dead, so she made up another knife in the chest, her method was cruel, it was outrageous!"

Li Jie pondered for a moment and asked, "Gao Liang, what is your opinion on this case?" ”

Gao Liang said unhurriedly and conclusively: "Back to Your Highness, the lower officials thought that this should be just a simple robbery and murder case, because the money bag and valuables on the deceased were lost, so the lower officials thought that a notice should be posted in the city to arrest the murderer!" ”

Li Jie couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "Lord Gao, you posted a notice and dared to ask who you were arresting?" The murderer has not been found! ”

"Uhhh This..."Gao Liang was a little embarrassed, because these tricks were used to solving cases on weekdays, so he habitually said it. So he smiled again and again: "Your Highness has taught you a great lesson, and the lower official ordered someone to investigate the case thoroughly." With that, he made a gesture to the two servants beside him, and the two of them immediately left in a hurry.

"Old bustard, you better take a look at the last look at your Spring Festival Courtyard!" Li Zhi glanced at the old bustard, who was trembling with fright.

"No, no! Your Highness, don't look at it, Chunjiao will always live in my heart..."The old bustard laughed miserably.

"Hmph, do you know who this king hates the most? It is the unkind and unrighteous! Usually this king peels the skin and drinks the blood of such people. This Chunjiao has also made a lot of money for your Spring Festival, right? Don't you even see her for the last time? Li Jie said lightly.

"How can it, you have to see, you have to see." Just frightened by Li Jie, the old bustard immediately trembled and stepped forward with difficulty, and looked at the corpse lying on the wooden board.

"Ahh The old bustard cried out, covered his mouth and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness... This..."
