Chapter 31 Persuade the Priests to Do It
After the eldest lady left the room, Li Mi took out the thirty-six dragon coffins and asked Wu Yong.
"Commander Wu, tell me, where did this thing come from?"
When Wu Yong saw this object, his face suddenly looked a little embarrassed: "This... This..."
Seeing him hesitating, Li Mi also frowned, and persuaded him: "I think you should also know that someone wants this thing, and if you keep it, you are afraid that you will get into trouble, besides, this thing is not yours in the first place, and the evidence of personal guilt is a big crime, if the county master knows, you will have no future." ”
After Li Mi finished saying this, Wu Yong also sighed heavily, and still said with some embarrassment: "It's a shame to say this..."
"It's... This thing is not what it is..."
Wu Yong said this, so he took the dragon coffin from Li Mi's hand, turned it in several directions, and finally selected one side, and then pressed it lightly, and a piece was concave in the middle, and he turned the direction and pressed the other piece.
So repeatedly, his movements were not fast, but there were too many steps, Li Mi was dazzled, and he was a little dizzy when he looked at it.
As Wu Yong continued to fiddle, the cube-shaped thirty-six dragon coffins finally turned into a multi-prismatic shape with the thickness of three fingers!
What made Li Mi feel incredible was that the cube was transformed into a long multi-prism column, twisted and pushed many times in the process, and more than 30 parts did not touch the ambergris bottle that Xie Yingluo said!
The wisdom and craftsmanship of the ancients are truly astonishing, and they were able to make such an elaborate mechanism container!
Wu Yong handed the things back and said to Li Mi: "Usually I don't touch the corpse, but that day I was also a fan of money, thinking that the Zhang family fell into the water accidentally, seeing Zhang's beauty, and the dress was quite rich, he said that he should have property on his body, so before the old man came, he dispersed the entourage and searched it himself..."
"But after a simple search, I found that the Zhang family had no money at all, and there were some ornaments on his head, but those officials had already seen it, and I couldn't hide it privately..."
"It's also a ghost, I didn't find the property, I was unwilling, so I touched it closely, thinking that there would be some private things, but I didn't expect to touch this..."
When Li Mi heard this, he was also a little confused, let's talk about it, where did the Zhang family hide this thing, so that it was so difficult to find?
Li Mi couldn't help but cast his eyes at Wu Yong to ask, Wu Yong's old face was flushed, but he didn't dare to say anything, Li Mi had already vaguely guessed.
"Have you ever heard of the Nine Tricks Jade Plug?" As soon as Wu Yong said this, Li Mi became even more determined, and finally knew where the Zhang family hid this thing!
From the fact that she hid so deeply in the Lu family, you can know how cautious the Zhang family is, maybe this dragon coffin that transmits information, she has been hiding close to her, but there was a danger that day, for fear of being searched, so she hid in the most secret place.
Li Mi couldn't help but admire, although the Zhang family is a hidden chivalrous woman, but in the end it is a good family, in order to preserve the information, even the last reserve of the woman's family has been sacrificed, this spirit is really admirable, but also indignant.
If the government is effective in suppressing bandits, and the Japanese invaders dare not invade, how can there be a civil anti-Japanese force like the Zhang family, and the Zhang family will be able to be the lady of the Lu family in peace, why hide your head and show your tail and work hard with the Japanese invaders!
Wu Yong didn't know that the Zhang family was a heroine against the Japanese Invaders, maybe he had already regarded the Zhang family as some kind of unserious woman in his heart, and he took this thing, but he was afraid that his heart was extremely dark at that time, and his motives were extremely impure!
When Li Mi was in the office, he saw the official documents handled by Wu Yong, and he had a different opinion of him at that time, maybe this torture room official is only limited in talent, and his true nature is not bad.
But now, all the changes in Wu Yong have completely disappeared, a person is not capable enough, if he can be conscientious in his post, it is not a corpse vegetarian meal, but his heart is dark, and he is rotten from his nature, and it is difficult to save.
As the official of the torture room, he couldn't even show enough respect for the victim's corpse, and when he did such a thing to desecrate the deceased, Wu Yong had completely entered Li Mi's blacklist!
Wu Yong also knew that the stakes were important, and he knew that his job was difficult to protect, so he immediately rolled off the bed and knelt in front of Li Mi to beg.
"Brother Li, you and I don't know each other, this job is passed down from my ancestors, a big family is counting on me to support my family, please raise your noble hand, don't talk to the county master!"
Li Mi couldn't help sneering in his heart, what a breadwinner, look at the Wu family's courtyard, it is so generous, I don't know how many people's fat and people's ointment have been looted, not to mention that this is just another courtyard, his family still has the main house and other properties, and they have already married a wife and four concubines, and they still have the face to cry and beg for mercy!
Wu Yong saw that Li Mi was unmoved, hurriedly got up, walked to the cabinet, and took out a black cloth bag, just a pull, and those gold, silver and jewelry poured out!
"Brother Li, I know that you want to be a tolerance, and I also know that you have no fixed place to live, and your money is tight, as long as you keep it secret for me, these are all yours! If you don't dislike it, I can also help you fulfill your wish and let you come to the torture room, please don't report me! ”
"This thing is not an important object, it's just Zhang's obscene equipment, and I don't have any other thoughts, but I feel the novelty, so I secretly took it back..."
Seeing Wu Yong's ugly demeanor, Li Mi couldn't help but feel cold, he really regarded the Zhang family as that kind of immodest woman, which is a great insult to an anti-Japanese heroine who hides her identity!
He didn't open his mouth, and when it came to this, it strengthened Li Mi's determination to track down the murderer of the Zhang family!
He is not Yuan Keli, he will not stick to the rules, he fantasizes about letting the government uphold justice, these widows burn, kill and rob, rape and plunder, do all kinds of evil, the old and weak, women and children have never let go, they are completely inhumane, they can't even be called people, why do they still talk to them about human rights and the legal system!
Although Xie Yingluo was arrogant and sloppy, looked down on Li Mi, and regarded Li Mi as a nasty ghost, Li Mi had already decided that he must find out the Japanese assassin and avenge the Zhang family!
This female generation, full of national chivalry, is a respectable person, even if she can't die vigorously, she must not let people tarnish her reputation, the hero dies, and someone needs to remember!
Li Mi looked at the treasures in a place, as if he had stepped on dog shit all over the ground, and he had an indescribable disgust for this place.
"Commander Wu, if I were you, I would take the initiative to admit my mistake to Lord Zhixian, I hope you will do it yourself in the future."
After Li Mi finished speaking, he left the room, leaving only Wu Yong, who was as gray as his face, sitting on the ground with a dull gaze.
Although Xie Yingluo denied that she was a female ghost, Li Mi didn't believe in the statement of a female ghost, and she wanted to leave, and she wouldn't leave Lu Chongning here, so she came to the fourth lady's room and wanted to call Lu Chongning.
However, Lu Xiucai has already strengthened his determination, and there is quite a posture that he can't see his wife's ghost, so he will live forever, and Li Mi is not reluctant.
Although the thirty-six dragon coffins have a great stake, involving the information that the Zhang family wants to send out before his death, which provokes the scramble of the Japanese robbers, but in order to hide, in the end, there are some sacrifices, and Li Mi does not want to confess to Lu Chongning, he also hopes that Lu Chongning can remember the most beautiful side of his wife, not these things that endure humiliation.
After coming out of the Wu family's courtyard, the night was already dark, and Li Mi only felt that the night breeze was sultry and extremely cool, but his heart was very heavy.
When the tolerance can be done in the old business, but don't look at the tolerance as a blessing, in fact, the social status is very low, and there is no authority, Li Mi wants to pursue more resources in order to do something big!
After making up his mind, he didn't stay any longer, and it happened that Xing Zhutou and the others returned in vain, so he said to Xing Zhutou, picked up the lantern, and walked out.
The county government will not open the door at night, it is impossible for him to go back to the official house, and he has no intention of going back to the official house, so after thinking about it, he came to the Yuan Mansion.
What kind of master, what kind of servant, Yuan Keli is strict with himself, and the door of the house is not a dog who looks down on people, patiently asks clearly, and sees clearly through the door that it is Li Mi, so he opened the small door and welcomed Li Mi in.
At this time, it was late at night, Li Mi thought that Yuan Keli had fallen asleep, but he didn't expect Yuan Keli to have the habit of reading at night, and he hadn't slept yet, so he couldn't help but admire Yuan Keli again.
Menzi led Li Mi to Yuan Keli's study, and the latter was also a little surprised, after all, he already knew something about Li Mi, and knew that Li Mi was not a random person, let alone those flattering clinging people, who visited late at night, but I was afraid that there was a new development in the case.
Li Mi entered the study, saw that the desk was full of files, and then looked at Yuan Keli, whose sideburns had been opened, and Yuan Keli, who was a little pale, Li Mi couldn't help but feel respectable and sighable in his heart.
This good official who cares about the people, even if he leaves office, he still can't leave his old profession, how similar is it to Li Mi, who wants to become a detective.
However, the officialdom is dark, and a good official like Yuan Keli has not been reused, but has been deposed, and the golden period of his youth and strength has been wasted.
Although he is no longer in the officialdom, Yuan Keli's connections and resources are still there, if he can get his help, or even form a detective combination with him, isn't it a way to display his ambitions?
Thinking so, Li Mi already had the intention to win over Yuan Keli, and believed that Yuan Keli would not refuse such an offer.
But in the end, this matter still has to be put aside first, Li Mi said a few words, and then told the officials that the house encountered the double-pupiled female widow, Wu Yong hit the ghost, and Xie Yingluo came to search again, all of them were carefully explained, and then he took out the thirty-six dragon coffin.
Li Mi did not hide the origin of the thirty-six dragon coffins, although Yuan Keli was a serious jinshi, and he had the view that women were also feudal men, and he still showed respect for Zhang's righteous deeds.
"You're saying it's most likely a secret letter in there?" Yuan Keli was an extremely perceptive person, as if he had seen the huge secret hidden behind the dragon coffin.
Li Mi replied truthfully: "Whether it is the Zhang family, or the Japanese Kou Xizuo, they are all looking for this thing, it should be right to think about it, if you want to know the secret, you can only think of opening this mechanism..."
As soon as Li Mi said this, he looked at Yuan Keli's side, Yuan Keli also understood, nodded Li Mi with his finger, and then said with a smile: "I know that you are not here to find me, don't wait, let's go, when we arrive at Xiangfu, it is estimated that it will be dawn." ”
When Li Mi heard this, he also smiled, seeing that Yuan Keli was so positive, the matter of the detective combination should be very promising!
