As soon as the sky was bright, Li Rong and Li Yuanfang were still unsatisfied, and they couldn't wait to extend the time so that the two could discuss martial arts to their heart's content.

Li Rong's erudition in martial arts, which was different from the martial arts concept of the world, left a deep impression on Li Yuanfang.

Li Yuanfang's outstanding martial arts talent, imaginative martial arts skills, and resolute and confident martial arts beliefs also deeply impressed Li Rong.

"Have you two stayed up all night and spent a long time together?" Di Renjie got up and looked at the two of them and said, "Go wash up, we have to go to the county to inquire about the case today." ”

Di Renjie always got up very early, and when he came out of the room, he was about to go to wash, and he saw the two of them with excited expressions on their faces.

Li Rong and Li Yuanfang greeted Di Renjie respectfully, and Li Yuanfang took them to the well to wash up.

The cool well water sprinkled his face, and Li Rong felt his spirit shaken, and a new day was about to start again.

"It's not too late to leave after breakfast." Li Yuanfang said as he called the maid to prepare breakfast.

Breakfast is simple, with steaming dumplings, sparkling cakes, and a plate of fresh and delicious pickles, both simple and refreshing.

After breakfast, Di Chun quickly went to prepare the carriage and parked it outside the courtyard. Li Rong and Li Yuanfang took the reins from the little maid, led the fed horse, and came to the outside of the courtyard.

Di Chun waved his long whip, snapped on the ground, and drove the carriage towards the direction of Henan County Ya, with Li Rong and Li Yuanfang following closely on both sides.

Di Chun has always had a good memory, as long as the road he has walked is clearly remembered in his heart, the old horse came to Yizhuang in Henan County.

The old man guarding Yizhuang saw Di Renjie and his party yesterday, and knew that it was a bigger official than the county honor, so he led the way respectfully and neatly, leading everyone to the side hall where the corpses were stored.

At this time, the early spring had passed, the temperature had risen, and the speed of corpse decay had become much faster, and there were several corpses that had not yet been buried in the side hall, and the heavy stench of corpses was all over the room, exuding an unpleasant odor.

"My lord, these are these two corpses." The old man Yizhuang stood between the two thin coffins and said.

Because the case of these dead bodies is not closed, the families of the deceased cannot take them away for burial, and it is impossible for the government to use expensive coffins for them.

"Got it, you go down first!" Di Renjie waved his hand and said.

Di Chun was watching the carriage and horses outside, and only Li Rong and Li Yuanfang followed.

Li Yuanfang uncovered the linen covering the corpse and looked at the corpse.

Iron blue skin, round eyes, painful expression, everything was frozen at the moment of her death.

"According to Song Qizuo from Henan County, the deceased died about five days ago, and was raped and tortured before his death." Di Renjie said in a deep voice, his expression serious.

Di Renjie has experienced many major cases and seen more tragic scenes than this, but every time he sees an innocent person die, he always feels uneasy and indescribable compassion in his heart.

"The murderer is a master. Judging from the scars, the distance between the Dao scars is equal, and it is obvious that his sword skills or swordsmanship are quite skillful. Because the wound has been scarred, I can't see the murderer's true temperament, but at least he is a master of three grades or more. Li Yuanfang did not shy away from the smell of corpses, and turned over the corpse with his hand and said.

"Well, there are others?" Di Renjie then asked.

Li Yuanfang is an authority in this regard, not only inheriting his family knowledge, but also because he is a master of martial arts, his understanding of corpses and wounds is unparalleled. If it was a fresh wound, he could recognize the opponent's weapon, the level of skill, and even the quality of the true qi.

Li Yuanfang didn't speak, turning to the side to look at another corpse. The corpse was so decomposed that it was barely humanoid.

"The murderer is skillful, no more than thirty years old, uses a short sword or a short knife, likes slender women, and can only see these things for the time being." Li Yuanfang said to Di Renjie after looking at the corpse.

"How can you tell if the murderer is using a dagger or a dagger?" Li Rong was a little skeptical.

"Look at the wound." Li Yuanfang replied, "You look at the part of the wound, from the chest down to the abdomen, the wound is short, neatly arranged in a zigzag shape, and the turn is free, which not only shows that the murderer's swordsmanship or knife skills are skillful, but also seems to be done by a short soldier." ”

"A wound like this should be possible with our skills." Li Rong said.

What the wounds on the corpse showed, a six-rank master like Li Rong could do it.

"If we do it deliberately, we can do it, but it's not natural. You can imagine the position of the murderer and the victim, when the murderer should be raping the victim, and it is possible that the cutting on the victim is for pleasure. Li Yuanfang said coldly.

"Psychopathic killer!" Li Rong immediately understood what was going on.

"Sort of!" Li Yuanfang said.

"Calculate the time, the two officials of the Luozhou Mansion should summon the maid of the deceased to the hall, and we will go to interrogate to see what new discoveries are made?" Di Renjie said.

The degree of perversion of the murderer did not surprise him, and this kind of person must be arrested as soon as possible.

Outside Yizhuang, the county lieutenant Qiu Zhonghe was waiting there early, ready to listen to Di Renjie's orders at any time.

"You're early!" Di Renjie came out of it and saw Qiu Zhonghe and said.

"Back to Lord Di, the villain also obeyed the orders of Lord County, and he also wanted to follow Lord Di to solve the case as soon as possible." Qiu Zhonghe said respectfully.

"Have the maidservants of the two deceased been summoned to the hall?" Di Renjie asked.

"Back to Lord Di, the superiors of Luozhou Mansion are watching over it, waiting for Lord Di's interrogation at any time." Qiu Zhonghe said.

"Okay, let's go to the county office." Di Renjie said.

Qiu Zhonghe led the way in front of the head, and Di Chun drove the carriage over, helped Di Renjie to get into the car, and drove towards the county government.

The group rushed to Henan County. On the way, Li Yuanfang and Qiu Zhonghe were acquaintances, and they had a good relationship, and they chatted quite lively.

"Master Di, a total of four maidservants, all of them are in the back hall." Qiu Zhongzhi said respectfully.

At this time, Cui Xuantong, the county commander, also greeted him and saluted Di Renjie.

"Does Master Di want to interrogate these handmaidens in the lobby?" Cui Xuantong asked.

"No, take it to the back hall, how about Master Cui and I try it together?" Di Renjie said.

"Obey Master Di's orders," Cui Xuan said with joy in his heart.

Di Renjie shared the opportunity of interrogation with himself, and he had the intention of giving himself a share of the credit for solving the case, how could he miss it.

Arriving at the back hall, two officials of the Luozhou Prefecture were looking at four young women with frightened faces and depressed expressions.

"Master Di," the two officials saw Di Renjie coming, and hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Good work," Di Renjie said.

"There, there," said the officials humbly, standing at the door, guarding the back hall.

Luozhou is the capital of the imperial court, and the officials who can serve as errands in Luozhou Mansion are all elites, and the rules of various officialdoms are clear, and they obediently guard the door, waiting for Di Renjie to try the case.

"Take Miss Yan's maidservant down first," Di Renjie instructed the servant.

Two servants ran over and walked out of the hall with one of the maidservants.

"Are you Miss Wu's maidservant?" Di Renjie asked.

Di Renjie and Cui Xuantong sat down according to the level of their official positions, while Li Rong and Li Yuanfang stood on both sides. They belong to Di Renjie's guards, and they will not be on an equal footing with Di Renjie, especially Li Yuanfang is not considered a member of the government at present.

"The maid Chun Tao is Miss Wu's maid," said a maid dressed in green clothes, with a delicate face and a slightly middle-aged appearance, whispering with a hint of fear in her voice.

"The maidservant Xia He is also Miss Wu Wu's maid," the other woman said with some panic.

"Don't be afraid, Master Ben is just asking you some questions that happen every day," Di Renjie said.

"Yes, sir." The two maidservants knelt on the ground and said.

"Stand up first," Di Renjie said.

"Yes, sir." The two maidservants slowly stood up, their faces a little pale. The young lady they served died tragically, and they were dissatisfied with Master Wu, and if it weren't for the officials who came to interrogate, they would definitely be sold.

"When did you young lady go missing?" Di Renjie asked.

"Half a month ago, on the night of the fifth day of the month," said the maidservant named Chun Tao, "I went to bed that night after serving Miss, and when I was about to wake her up the next morning, I found that Miss was gone. ”

"Did you hear anything that night?" Di Renjie then asked.

"I didn't hear anything, my lord." Chun Tao replied.

"Did you notice anything unusual in the house the next morning?" Di Renjie asked.

"I found that the window was wide open, and Miss Wu was gone." Chun Tao said.

"This maid named Chun Tao is not small, calm and calm, and speaks in some order, which seems to be a talent that can be created." Li Yuanfang said secretly in his heart when he saw that he met Chun Tao.

In the past few years since leaving Liumen, Li Yuanfang has stayed in Luoyang according to Di Renjie's wishes, on the one hand, for his own cultivation and hiding in the city, and on the other hand, to collect intelligence and make some preparations for the future. These things are things that cannot be put on the table, but every organization, including the imperial court, must do it.

In the past few years in Luoyang, Li Yuanfang has subdued some underground forces and established a strict network of relationships. This includes the use of these seemingly low-status maids, servants, etc., to gather intelligence.
