Yin of Luoyang Mansion hurriedly ordered the officials to come forward to help and tied the owner into zongzi.

"Your Excellency is truly a man of God! It is really admirable that such a strange case can be solved by an adult in such a short time! Luoyang Mansion Yin saluted Li Canghai with a smile on his face, and after thinking about it, he continued: "My lord, but there is still something unknown about Xiaguan, what is his motive for killing?" ”

Li Canghai was silent for a moment and said, "If my guess is correct, this matter should be related to the arrears of wages. ”

At this time, the owner knew that there was no way to escape, and he suddenly laughed: "Ha, haha! He deserves it! For those few dollars of silver, he even threatened me, saying that I would not pay him, so he went to tell my tigress that I had raised a Qinglou girl outside! Yesterday, he was drunk and even said that he was going to burn down my gambling house, and Lao Tzu had the idea of killing him in a fit of anger! ”

Li Canghai stared at him deeply, walked up to him, and suddenly raised a foot and kicked on the owner's knee.

The owner of the shop was caught off guard, only to feel a sudden pain in his knees, and suddenly fell to his knees with a pop.

Li Canghai said coldly: "His child is sick and needs medical treatment, so he has no choice but to ask you for wages, and you actually want his life for a few dollars of silver?" In your eyes, life is not worth a few dollars? ”

Li Yu shook his head, sighed, and said to Luoyang Mansion Yin: "The truth of this case has been revealed, how should it be judged, don't you need to say more about this king?" ”

Luoyang Mansion Yin hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said, "Don't worry, the lower officials know how to judge." He cleared his throat and pronounced the verdict: "The evidence of the murder of the owner of the gambling house is conclusive, and he is temporarily imprisoned." The queen of autumn asks for a cut! He was also sentenced to compensate Han's 500 miles of silver to comfort the pain of his bereavement! ”

The owner of the shop heard this. Suddenly, his face was like ashes, and he was paralyzed on the ground like a puddle of mud.

"Master Xie. Lord Xie, Lord Xie is the master of the people's women...... Master Xie found out the murderer for the people's wife...... The woman kowtowed to the old man! Han was full of tears, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Canghai and Li Yu.

The two of them helped her up at the same time, Li Canghai sighed, and said, "Hurry up, take these silver taels, and after burying Han Da, let's live a good life!" ”

The owner of the workshop was escorted back to the prison by Yin of Luoyang Mansion, and Han Da's body was also helped by the officials. It was transported back home with Han.

The gambling house instantly became empty, and only the residual smell of blood in the air reminded several people that there had been a murder here not long ago.

Li Canghai and Li Yu leaned on the threshold, looking at the dripping rain outside, both of them were a little heavy.

After a long while, Li Yu sighed, slammed his fist on the threshold, and said indignantly: "Hard work." But they don't get paid, and they end up dying because of it! Is there still a royal law in this world? Is there still justice? It just doesn't make sense! ”

Li Canghai glanced at him deeply, and said lightly: "Lord Wang, what you see is just the tip of the iceberg. It's just a coincidence. That's when you come across these. Something like this happens every day, and there are many things that the prince doesn't know. ”

Li Yu was stunned. He said suspiciously: "How could such a thing happen in the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

The corners of Li Canghai's mouth turned up slightly, and he smiled meaningfully: "The prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty? Today's Datang. Is it still the same heyday as before? ”

Li Yu frowned, he shook his head and said, "This king grew up in the imperial city since he was a child. He has never left Chang'an, since he was a child, all he heard was praise for merit and virtue, and praise for the prosperity of Qingping. If it weren't for the fact that he had followed the Holy Driver on his eastward tour, the king would never have imagined that there would be so many sinister things in the world. ”

Speaking of this, Li Yu suddenly bowed solemnly to Li Canghai, and said seriously: "Lord Li, I can't hide it, this king has always thought that the legends about you are all exaggerated legends. Until today, when the king saw the godlike way of solving the case, he believed that Lord Li was not in vain, please accept the worship of Xiao Wang! ”

Li Canghai was suddenly startled, he hurriedly stopped Li Yu's bow, shook his head and said: "Lord Wang, you are really tormenting the lower officials like this, and the lower officials will never dare to accept it!" ”

What are you kidding, the grandiose descendants of the royal family, bow down to him as a court official, if this reaches the ears of the emperor, then it will be okay?

"Lord Li, do you remember that this king said before that he would follow the adults to solve the case together? Now Master Li thinks this king has this potential? Li Yu said seriously.

Li Canghai scratched his head, to be honest, in his opinion, Li Yu was not suitable for judging the case.

It can be seen from his previous style that he has empty blood, but he is inevitably a little neurotic, and his brain is surprisingly big, and he makes a speechless move out of his coldness.

However, Li Yu is so sincere, he is not easy to refuse.

After thinking about it, Li Canghai smiled and said, "Thanks to the prince's refusal, how can the lower officials refuse?" ”

Li Yu was immediately overjoyed, he rubbed his hands, and said excitedly: "Since this is the case, then the king will follow Master Li!" ”

Li Canghai was stunned, and he said suspiciously: "Follow me?" ”

Li Yu nodded and said: "Of course, from today onwards, this king will follow you Master Li to learn the art of solving cases, and you are my Li Yu's teacher!" As a student, of course, you have to follow the teacher's side! ”

After saying this, Li Yu suddenly said to him: "The teacher is above, please accept the students' worship!" ”

Li Canghai suddenly felt that the trigeminal nerve hurt, he stopped Li Yu, and said helplessly: "Lord Wang, don't bow down to me at every turn, I really can't afford it!" Also, the lower officials are shallow in their studies, how can they be worthy of the prince's teacher? The prince doesn't want to make jokes anymore. ”

"This king is very serious! If Master Li doesn't accept me as a student, I'll ...... Get down on your knees! Li Yu tilted his head and thought about it, and said suddenly.

Li Canghai almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, he looked at Li Yu, if Li Yu really knelt down for him, it would not be as simple as apprenticeship, if it reached the ears of the emperor, he might be convicted of committing a crime.

"Since this is the case, then the lower officials are presumptuous." After Li Canghai carefully weighed it, he nodded helplessly.

Li Yu was overjoyed, and he clenched his fists with both hands. was about to salute again, but was directly stopped by Li Canghai.

Li Canghai said: "However. I have a word first, if the prince will bow to me again. That's it. ”

"As long as Mr. is willing to teach the student the way to investigate the case, all the conditions proposed by the gentleman, the student will agree!" Li Yu instantly positioned himself as a student and said very respectfully.

Li Canghai rubbed his eyebrows with a little headache, and then said: "There is one more point, the prince should no longer call his subordinate official Mr. ”

"How can this be? Since you taught me the way to investigate cases, you are naturally a teacher, if you don't call me a gentleman, it seems that I don't know how to be polite! Li Yu said.

"This ...... All right. Since the prince is so insistent, it is better for the lower officials to be respectful and obey his orders. Li Canghai sighed lightly, Li Yu was so insistent, which surprised him a little.

"Where shall we go now, sir?" Li Yu asked excitedly.

Li Canghai was uncomfortable with this title, he shook his head and said, "Now, go home." ”

"Home?" Li Yu blinked and immediately understood. He casually commanded, "Go back!" This king wants to follow Mr. to Di's house, and he doesn't need your guards. ”

The corners of Qi Yunhe's eyes twitched fiercely, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lord Wang, it is our duty to protect you. How can I leave? ”

Li Yu glared at him and said unhappily: "This king is just going to the Di family with Mr., what danger can there be?" This king wants to learn the way of detective from Mr. Don't bother! ”

Qi Yunhe bowed and stood in place, and said seriously: "Lord Wang." No matter what you decide, your subordinates will always be there to protect you. This is a task given by the father to his subordinates. ”

"This king is not going to roam the rivers and lakes, he doesn't need your guards, with you here, this king can't even encounter danger, how can he encounter a murder?" Li Yu shook the folding fan vigorously and said unhappily.

"Lord Wang, please forgive your subordinates for disobedience. Wherever the prince goes, his subordinates will go, and his subordinates will never let the prince leave the sight of his subordinates. Qi Yunhe said solemnly.

"You're ......!" Li Yu couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and pointed at Qi Yunhe and was about to scold.

Seeing this, Li Canghai stepped forward to make a round and said, "Steward Qi is also thinking about the prince, why should the prince be angry?" In my opinion, it's better to let Steward Qi accompany the guards. The body of the prince's daughter, if there is any mistake in the Di family, I can't afford it! ”

Li Yu calmed down, thought about it, and felt that what Li Canghai said was not unreasonable.

So he nodded and said, "That's it, since Mr. has said it, then you will go with this king." But the rest are not allowed to follow! ”

Qi Yunhe said yes again and again, and cast a grateful look at Li Canghai.

Li Canghai smiled at him and nodded slightly.

He was thinking about much more than that, the 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu' had no movement now, and it was hard to guarantee that they were not hiding in the dark and planning something, at least they could be sure that they were already the number one target that the 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu' wanted to eradicate.

At this time, Li Yu had to follow himself to learn the way of detectives, which undoubtedly put Li Yu in danger.

Qi Yunhe's martial arts are strong, and he is accompanied by him, so that at least Li Yu's personal safety can be guaranteed.

The rain continued to fall heavier and heavier, and there was no sign of stopping.

Qi Yunhe ordered someone to get a carriage, and then carried the two of them to Di's house in the heavy rain.

When the three of them came to Di's house, they were all drenched in soup.

Di Huai hurriedly ordered people to prepare three sets of clothes for the three of them to change into.

Li Canghai changed into a set of white clothes, with a green jade belt around his waist, and he was holding an elegant gentleman.

In the main hall, Di Huai was talking to a guard, who handed him a bamboo tube and left.

Li Canghai recognized the clothes worn by the guard as Qianniuwei.

"Big brother, what's the matter with Qianniuwei coming here?" Li Canghai walked over and asked casually.

Di Huai patted the bamboo tube in his hand and said, "Naturally, I'm here to send this." ”

"What is this?" Li Canghai said.

"Here's what you want me to look up." Di Huai narrowed his eyes and stuffed the bamboo tube to Li Canghai and said.

Li Canghai was taken aback, hurriedly took the bamboo tube, opened it, and immediately poured out the contents of it.

There are several pieces of rice paper with words written in the bamboo tube, which is wrapped in oiled paper, and the bamboo tube is tightly plugged, so that it has not been infiltrated by rainwater.

"This is the news that the military department Shangshu ordered Qianniuwei to send from Chang'an, day and night, one day earlier than expected." Di Huai sat down in his chair and said.

Li Canghai nodded, he carefully looked at the information recorded on the paper, and nodded secretly in his heart.

This paper records a total of five Qin Fu's henchmen, three of the five were implicated and taken to the heavenly prison, two of them were tortured to death due to perennial imprisonment, and the other was still imprisoned in the heavenly prison.

And this prison is precisely the Luoyang prison.

When the remaining two confessed to their guilt, they suddenly evaporated from the world, and they have not been heard from since.

"Canghai, what have you found?" Di Huai asked.

Li Canghai put away the paper and said in a deep voice: "Qin Fu's five henchmen, who died and escaped, are now only one named Hao Ren who is imprisoned in Luoyang Prison. ”

"And what are you going to do?" Di Huai frowned and asked.

"I need to take a trip to Luoyang Prison." Li Canghai thought about it for a while, and then made a decision.

"Do you want me to come with you?" Di Huai asked.

"I won't bother my brother about this, I'll just go by myself. The eldest brother is here to greet King Su. After Li Canghai finished speaking, he beckoned the two brothers, Ben Bo Er Ba and Ba Bo Er Ben, and went with him.

Luoyang Prison, Li Canghai has been back and forth here dozens of times during this time, but he has never seen a prisoner named Hao Ren.

Even the officials guarding the cell searched for a long time before they found Hao Ren's name.

"My lord, the Hao Ren you are looking for is in the deepest corner of the prison. But this man is a madman, so beware! Leading the way was an old jailer, who cautioned.

"He's a madman? What's going on? Li Canghai put his hands behind his back and asked as he walked.

"This ...... Little Lao Er doesn't know. This person has been imprisoned for more than ten years, and I heard that from the beginning of his imprisonment, he has been crazy, at first the court thought he was pretending to be stupid, but after several temptations, it was found that he was really crazy, and he has been imprisoned in a cell ever since. In the past ten years, no one else has seen him except for Xiao Lao'er bringing him food. The old jailer replied tremblingly.

"No one else has really come to see him in the past ten years?" Li Canghai frowned and asked.

"Nope." The old jailer shook his head and said with certainty: "Since the imperial court sent someone to test whether he is really crazy or fake, no one has come. ”

Li Canghai nodded slightly, then stopped talking and followed the old jailer to the deepest part of the prison.

Soon, several people, led by the old jailer, came to the deepest level.

When you step on this floor, you will smell a strange smell that makes you almost want to vomit.

It was a strange smell mixed with musty, feces and urine, comparable to poisonous gas.

The old jailer seemed to have long been accustomed to this smell, but he didn't care, and said falsely: "My lord, Hao Ren is locked up in the innermost cell. (To be continued.) )
