Zhu San's death dragged him into an invisible but ubiquitous tight net, which once enveloped him breathlessly, making him frightened and hopeless, but after a long time he realized the benefits of this net, which gave him security, dependence, confidence and infinite strength, he wanted to refuse and welcome, but he knew that it was inappropriate but still fell into it step by step.

He completed another metamorphosis in his life in self-contradiction.

Ni Ren stayed up all night in the prison to be tortured, saying everything that should be said and what should not be said, and at dawn, taking advantage of the slack of guards, he bit off his tongue and died of blood loss. Immediately, Gao Mu launched a large-scale manhunt in Yunzhou City according to his confession, and everyone who had anything to do with Ni Ren and Zhu San could not escape their fate, or was arrested in prison, or disappeared mysteriously.

The residents of Yunzhou also slowly learned what happened in the small pine forest in the suburbs in a panic, in Yunzhou Li Shigu is the sky, someone stabbed the sky, should be guilty of this, as for the troubles they encountered, it is nothing at all. With the hearts of the people in hand, Gao Mu completely let go of his hands and feet, and the scale of the search and arrest became larger and wider, and finally it reached the point where everyone inside and outside was in danger.

Gao Mu is taking the opportunity to eliminate dissidents, he and Li Shigu are wearing the same pants, and many of the dissidents he clears are also jealous of Li Shigu, Li Mao deduced that Gao Mu can set off this storm at least with Li Shigu's tacit approval, he has been deeply trapped in it, how easy is it to get out at this moment? The turbidity current has been formed, those who go along with it prosper and those who rebel perish, and if they do not kill others, they may be killed by others. Once you are on the edge of the core, doom is coming.

Zhu San is dead, there is no proof of death, several of his disciples have become fragrant and sweet in the eyes of people with a heart, Wanda Mountain was the first to jump out to testify that Zhu San is related to the assassination case, citing Zhu San's various strange behaviors before the case, he pointed the finger at the two brothers who disobeyed him, the two were tortured and then bitten indiscriminately, more people were involved, or died or climbed, and this snowball rolled bigger and bigger. In order to stop this meat grinder from continuing to devour human lives, Li Mao used severe torture during the interrogation of the suspects, and six people were killed in a row.

The meat grinder stopped working, and Li Mao was also ordered to think about it behind closed doors for improper behavior, but Gao Mu didn't want to give him a chance to hide from Qingjing, and Li Mao was released for a day after closing the door to make meritorious contributions.

Zhu San is just a cook, although he has won the trust of Li Shigu, but it is also difficult to assassinate, Li Shigu's trust in anyone is limited, Gao Mu judged that there must be an inner ghost in the Jiefu to make peace with him, and he asked Li Mao to find out this inner ghost. This is simply a task that cannot be accomplished, unless the conscience is reversed.

Li Mao was sad all night, early in the morning, Qingmo was startled when he found that he was full of white hair, and quickly sharpened his knife and fetched water to shave his green skin and bald head, Li Mao saw that Qingmo's lips were blistering, and quipped: "The coming day is long, take it easy." Qingmo smiled bitterly: "How can you still have that mind, killing people during the day and having nightmares at night, when will this hard day be the end?" "Mo Qi God Channel: "The deadline given by the high judge is only one day, what should I do?" Li Mao exhaled and said, "Please God bless you and see if anyone takes the initiative to jump out today." ”

Qingmo said: "It's a matter of life, who is willing to jump out and find death by himself." ”

Li Mao pointed to his freshly shaved head and said, "Those who hold the handle of the knife are still sad and white-headed, and those who are waiting to be killed can be so easy." No one will go anywhere else this morning, let him jump out on his own. ”

Zhu Xiang sent breakfast, but no one had an appetite, Zhu Xiang's eyes were black, and Qingmo had nightmares in the past few days, always waking her up in the middle of the night. After a hard morning, the wind and waves inside and outside the festival mansion were calm, and the staff and scribes trembled in and out, like a walking corpse.

Seeing noon, Qingmo couldn't bear it anymore, he broke into Li Mao's room, and said: "Instead of dying by yourself, it's better to catch a substitute ghost casually, under torture, who can not recruit?" Li Mao was practicing calligraphy, writing 500 static words in the morning, but his heart was still cooking in the strong oil.

Shi Kong suddenly broke in and shouted excitedly, "Yan Kun has run away." ”

"Ran away?! Good run! ”

"Good 1"

"Exactly."

Yan Kun, who would have thought that Yan Kun, who is chubby, lustful, good at flattery, greedy for money and lustful, but is said to be timid as a mouse and stupid as a pig, would have the guts to collude with assassins to murder the festival marshal. Strictly speaking, he was involved in a bribery case, and Li Shigu has always turned a blind eye to this kind of bribery, most of the people who take bribes do not have much ambition, and they have this handle in hand, they can punish him at any time, and they are naturally not afraid that he will not obey, if they make too much trouble or are shy in their pockets, they can also kill one or two to boost the morale of the army and enrich the treasury by the way.

But in the current harsh environment, being exposed as corrupt is a dead end. Yan Kun understood this truth, so he was fabricating charges and preparing to take the opportunity to deal with Xue Yingying and others, thinking of going to Xue Yingying, the thorn in his eye, there would be no opponent in the future, Yan Kun was so excited that he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, he had never been serious about doing things, but this time he became serious, he summoned people to fabricate charges, scrutinized left and right, and must do an iron case to come out, so that Xue Yingying will not recover.

The tragedy happened, Yan Kun's seriousness delayed too much time, Xue Yingying took the lead and reported Yan Kun's corruption to Gao Mu, there is no evidence, only hearsay, Gao Mu said on the report: Although it is inevitable to catch the wind and catch shadows, but it may not be groundless, check it. Yan Su heard the report and fled in a hurry.

Yan Su has always been regarded as a puppet of the Qingzhou Wang family, who managed the salt works in Ziqing, collected a generous salt tax, and also had a well-trained and well-equipped tax protection team, which had been operating in Qingzhou for 40 years and was deeply rooted. At that time, Li Zheng had moved the capital of Ziqing from Qingzhou to Yunzhou, which is said to be because he was afraid that the power of the Wang family was too great.

Yan Kun ran out of the city for eight miles and was caught up by Li Mao, knowing that he could not escape death, he pulled out a knife and committed suicide, cut a knife on his neck, his hands were soft and hard, he was unsuccessful, he was dragged off the horse by Qingmo and pressed to the ground, and stuffed two handfuls of soil into his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide, and tied up a strong knot for a while. Yan Kun's escape angered Li Shigu, and he handed over the person to Xue Yingying for interrogation, who worked hard for a day and a night, and finally let the soft-faced Yan Kun confide the truth.

The truth is shocking: Yan Su was instructed by someone to join forces with the assassins, preparing to assassinate Li Shigu and appoint another person as the commander, as for who is behind the scenes, the matter is confidential, only a few people know about it, and it is not disclosed to the public.

The truth must be true, and in order to conceal the truth, the people behind the scenes took a huge risk and sent assassins to kill Yan in a heavily guarded military prison.

Although Yan Su died, the sin was unforgivable, and the family was exterminated, one after another.

It was Li Mao who was ordered to copy Yan Yan's house.

No one doubts that this is a beautiful difference, and it is true, Yan Yan's family wealth is piled up, only pepper has collected 3,300 stones, copper coins are piled up in the whole five rooms, day after day, the hemp rope that wears the money is broken, and the copper money is scattered all over the ground, in order to count the number, eighty soldiers were temporarily requisitioned from the inner military camp, and it took a whole day and a night to count the number, because the workload is too large, many people's hands are worn out.
