Looking at the young man who had already cried into tears, Yu Shaobai's expression was a little complicated, surprised? Doubt? Can't bear it? Or suddenly?

"Did you really just go back at that time? Didn't turn back? ”

"No, I was frightened and ran home, and I didn't tell my father until I found out that the lucky bag on my body was missing, and I saw Ah Fa and you on the bank of the river, and the lucky bag should have been picked up by you at that time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Yu Shaobai looked at the young man suspiciously, if it was really as he said, he didn't turn back, who was the masked man who burned the corpse?

When Guo Ziyou stepped out of bed, his expression became even more surprised, judging from the size of the young man, he was not the one who wanted to kill him that night, could it be that on the bank of the river at that time, in addition to him and Ziyou, there were others present? Could it be Guo Sanjiu?

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to see my father, the yamen wants to arrest me, arrest me, my mother was killed by me."

Yu Shaobai looked at the young man's back, sighed, and said, "You just go like this, do you think you can live without your father?" ”

The young man froze and muttered, "If I don't go, my father will die." ”

"Alas~ This matter is according to the rules, your mother will not escape death, and it is not difficult to save you, Da Ming Law mentions that all wives and concubines commit adultery with others, and the adulterer and adulteress are obtained in the adultererous house, and the person who kills them will not be counted, even if you are her son, as long as someone proves it for you, your mother's cheating is true, you and your father will be fine, it depends on how you choose between reputation and life."

"I choose my life."

Hearing this, Yu Shaobai nodded slightly, he thought that this Ziyou would care about reputation, and choosing his life was the most rational, but he still had to figure out one thing, whether the person who was going to kill him that night was Guo Sanjiu.

Yu Shaobai took out the lucky bag and said, "This lucky bag will be returned to you." ”

"Where did you pick this up, I searched for a long time on the riverbank and didn't find it."

Yu Shaobai was slightly stunned, Ziyou's words reminded him of something he ignored, why was this lucky bag found by him and Ah Fa on the riverbank, originally he only thought that Ziyou accidentally fell, but he said that he went to the river bank to find it, when he was looking for it, before he found the lucky bag, the river bank was unobstructed, he didn't find it, and the villagers didn't see it, but let himself and Ah Fa find it, which makes some sense, it is difficult to make sense that this lucky bag has long legs, and it will not be able to wander around.

He looked at the lucky bag in his hand, and suddenly shrugged his nose, his face showed a suspicious look, and there was a smell of sesame oil on this lucky bag.

Yu Shaobai came to Ziyou's side and sniffed it, but there was no smell of sesame oil, so he asked: "Ziyou, usually this lucky bag has always been on your body, haven't you let anyone else touch it?" ”

Ziyou saw Yu Shaobai's doubts, took the lucky bag and sniffed it, and said suspiciously: "This lucky bag has always been close to you, how can there be oil stains of sesame oil?" I can't even forget the last time I ate sesame oil. ”

Yu Shaobai looked at the lucky bag, and had a guess in his heart, could it be that this lucky bag fell into the hands of others not long ago, and this oil was also stained at that time.

"What is this?"

When Guo Ziyou took out those knots from the lucky bag, his face suddenly showed surprise, and Yu Shaobai asked, "What's wrong with this knot?" ”

"My mother...... Not dead yet! ”

Hearing this, Yu Shaobai's face changed slightly, "You said your mother didn't die?" What does that mean? ”

"Don't you remember that the knot told me?"

Yu Shaobai thought about it, and a picture appeared in his mind, Guo Ziyou had not read, it was Yu Shaobai who taught him to write, and he taught his predecessor a way to remember, that is, to tie the knot, and this knot was taught to him by his mother, and the ancient knot is different from the ancient knot account, this knot was taught to her by the monks of Pingdu Temple, and the monk asked Guo Ziyou to put all the unhappy things into the blessing bag, and the good or bad of today's life can be seen in the subtle difference of the knot.

"You don't have much or too little on this knot, and the date is right, what's wrong?"

Guo Ziyou pointed to the penultimate knot and said: "I was in a bad mood on the thirteenth day, the knot was entangled five times, but now it has become nine circles, you see I just saw this from the ninth to last note." ”

Yu Shaobai took the note, and saw a crooked Li character on it, which was crossed by something, and the mark left was not bad for Guo Mu, who didn't know a few big characters.

"What does the word Li represent? Surname? ”

Yu Shaobai's memory of Tushan Village was a little fragmentary, but Guo Zichu said on the side: "The surname is Li, sesame oil, these two are added together, I have already guessed." ”

"Oh? Who is it? ”

"Li Zhong in this village, a seller, also grinds sesame oil at home."

Seeing the young man rushing out of the room, Yu Shaobai hurriedly chased him out, grabbed him and said: "You are so reckless to go, you will only startle the snake, let's let the people from the government go together, I think they are on the bank of the Qingshui River." ”

Guo Ziyou hesitated, nodded, and followed Yu Shaobai towards the bank of the Qingshui River.

When he came to the bank of the Qingshui River, the crowd blocked Yu Shaobai's sight, and he couldn't see Wu Zichu's figure clearly, so he could only shout: "Wu Zichu~"

……

No one cared about it, and then shouted: "Brother Zichu~"

……

In the end, Yu Shaobai turned his head and muttered to Guo Ziyou, this kid was not happy, he had to shout: "Uncle! ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a figure squeezing out of the crowd in a swaying manner, followed by the official of the yamen.

"Brother-in-law, you finally recognize me as an uncle."

Seeing him laughing so proudly, Yu Shaobai had the urge to hit someone, he guessed right, he shouted so loudly, he didn't come out, he just wanted to let himself call out his eldest brother, but when Wu Lingrou walked out of the crowd, he finally understood...... It's a pit again, and this time it's my own jump.

"Sister, I'm right." Wu Zichu approached the little sister and muttered quietly.

Wu Lingrou raised her eyes and looked at Yu Shaobai, the two looked at each other, the shy cloud climbed up her cheeks, and hurriedly turned around, Wu Zichu was happy at the beginning, he was not blind, he naturally understood the little sister's thoughts, and his brother-in-law didn't run away.

"Brother-in-law, what are you calling your uncle?"

Yu Shaobai remembered that there was still something to do, and he forgot the embarrassment, turned his head and pointed to Guo Ziyou behind him: "His mother is the missing Aunt Guo, now we know where she is, but we still have to ask the people from the yamen to search." ”

Hearing this, Wu Zichu's face was overjoyed, and he asked his entourage to accompany his little sister back to Li's house, and Wang Zhutou called a group of yacha to follow Yu Shaobai to the house of the seller Li Zhong.

When he came to the door of Li Zhong's house, Yu Shaobai had already smelled the smell of sesame oil, but he was a little apprehensive in his heart, sesame oil and the word Li are not necessarily talking about the Li family, in his opinion, Li Jing's famous family is also surnamed Li, rich and oily, and sesame oil is somewhat involved, this suspicion is not only one, if you make a mistake......

"Click!"

Watching the "eldest brother" kick open the wooden door, the corners of Yu Shaobai's mouth twitched a little, if he made a mistake now, how could he stay in Tushan Village, it is estimated that his backbone will be pierced.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what are you doing here?" A short, thin young man of twenty-five or sixteen years of age ran out of the room, followed by a young woman.

"We suspect that you have something to do with Guo Zhao's disappearance, brothers, search for you!" Wang Zhutou waved his big hand, and the officials behind him rushed into the room, only to hear the sound of rummaging things.

"Official, I'm my duty, how can it have something to do with the disappearance of Sister-in-law Guo, I think you misunderstood, right?"

Yu Shaobai looked at Li Zhong with a panicked face, but his heart was full of doubts, this Li Zhong's figure is too distinctive, a short man, the masked man who was going to kill him that night was tall and burly, not this kind of figure, could it be really a mistake?

"Head catcher! Got it! ”

Suddenly, a loud shout was heard, and everyone's eyes turned to the backyard, and then ran towards the backyard.

I saw that the yacha were gathered around a dry well in the corner of the wall, and someone had already jumped off with a rope and fished out a corpse from it.

"Mother!" Guo Ziyou knelt beside the female corpse, unable to cry.

"Li Zhong! You are so bold that you actually murdered other people's lives and tied up Young Master Ben. Under Wu Zichu's order, the yamen grabbed Li Zhong and tied him up, and the woman on the side pulled her husband, crying and complaining about wrongdoing, and finally Li Zhong was taken away by the yamen, and then the village spread, Li Zhong ...... Killed.

"Brother-in-law, let's leave first, the case is solved anyway." Wu Zichu covered his nose and said with a disgusted expression.

Yu Shaobai didn't squeak, just looked at the female corpse on the ground, what the hell is going on, he obviously saw the masked man burning the corpse, how could this Aunt Guo still lie here intact, what surprised him even more was that the corpse did not have an obvious smell, indicating that it had not been a day before death, that is to say, she had not died before, looking at the blood stains on her body, and the whip marks on her face, she wanted to be beaten before she died, could it be that Li Zhong did it?

Soon the body was carried away, but the suspicion in Yu Shaobai's heart has not dissipated, why did Li Zhong kill Aunt Guo, except for the pathological homicidal maniac, anyone will have a motive before the idea of killing arises, what is Li Zhong's motive for killing?

"Ah Fa! Come here! Yu Shaobai, who was walking on the road, ignored the incessant poetry of the "eldest brother", and waved to the figure not far away.

"Shaobai! Have you heard? Li Zhong was arrested. As soon as Ah Fa opened his mouth, he talked about Li Zhong, and Yu Shaobai knew that the matter spread so quickly.

"Well, let me ask you, who is the gossip in our village?"

"Gossip?" Ah Fa and Wu Zichu said in unison.

"Uh...... It's who is the most well-informed, and who is the most gossip. ”

Hearing this, Ah Fa suddenly said: "If you want to say who is the most well-informed, that is, there is a beggar living in a ruined temple a mile west of the village, he never begs, he always comes to our village to steal things, but he knows a lot of things." ”
