Liuyun took people to the mountain overnight to cut down the bamboo, this time Xue Ping deliberately guarded and did not dare to sleep, for fear of being inexplicably robbed by the villagers again.

Before dawn, Mu Li had already gotten up, and she was always worried that someone would come to steal the bamboo again. Mu Li came out with a cloak and took a look before he was relieved, "Forget it, let's sleep a little longer, anyway, Xue Ping is guarding it." ”

Mu Li slept directly until noon.

"Oh my God, what time is it, why hasn't anyone called me?" Mu Li opened his eyes and looked at the green kite and was no longer in the room, so he quickly got dressed and went to the counter, and put a gold ingot in front of the shopkeeper. "Say it."

"Oh, you're so kind today. They went to the entrance of the village early in the morning. The shopkeeper carefully weighed the gold given by Mu Li, took a bite and quickly put it away.

Mu Li snorted and went to the entrance of the village.

"It's all good."

The sun was so dazzling that Mu Li couldn't open it a little, so he had to hide under a tree. Chu Lingyi followed the drawings given by Mu Li and carried out them in batches. Now we need to open all the bamboos so that the water can flow easily.

It's kind of interesting and knows what to do. Mu Li covered his forehead with his hand and walked to Chu Lingyi's side. "Yes, you can actually understand what I mean, yes, yes."

The villagers were all standing far away, not knowing what Chu Lingyi was doing, and even the woman who wanted to come to Huan Wash was scared and didn't dare to approach.

Mu Li was like a supervisor, watching them busy, as for the villagers who pointed at them, Mu Li directly ignored them, and waited to listen to their praise after they were done.

"You see, I heard that I went up the mountain in the middle of the night last night to cut bamboo, and now I am fooling around again, saying that I came to investigate the case, and I don't know if it's true or not."

"What do you say, you two?" Mu Li hasn't settled the account for the bamboo that was stolen last night, since he said these words in front of Mu Li at this time, can Mu Li not be angry.

The villager who spoke quickly slipped away.

Mu Li let Liuyun do it first, and pulled Chu Lingyi to the side, saying that he wanted to go around the village to see what they had stolen from last night's bamboo.

Mu Li and Chu Lingyi found the stolen bamboo in a corner, but what should have been broken and what should not have been broken had already been broken, and it was obviously deliberately damaged. "You say, we are kind enough to help them solve their problems, and if they don't help, it doesn't matter, so why do we have to deal with us?"

Seeing those bamboos that had been damaged, the fire in Mu Li's heart almost didn't rush out. I had never seen such a bad villager, and Mu Li began to wonder if he was right to do this.

A rambling voice came from the side of the bamboo, Mu Li wanted to go and see what was going on, but Chu Lingyi stopped him. "Don't move, you stand here, this king will go and see."

Chu Lingyi took a closer look and saw where a beggar was sleeping, covered with tattered things, but he didn't notice it. "Yo, what are you doing, why are you going to sleep here?" The beggar thought that Chu Lingyi was going to rob him of his territory, so he picked up a piece of bamboo and threw it at Chu Lingyi.

Mu Li stood aside and laughed, a prince who was both civil and military was actually beaten by a beggar, which really made Mu Li laugh for several days.

"Say, were you there when these things arrived last night?" Chu Lingyi faced the beggar in an interrogative tone, and the beggar looked at Chu Lingyi with disdain and pretended to be.

According to Chu Lingyi's question, this beggar would not say it easily. Mu Li pulled Chu Lingyi back and hinted that he should not talk too much.

"This little brother, are you hungry, I have some silver here, you can take it first." Mu Li took out the broken silver on his body, and to deal with this kind of person, Mu Li has a way, which is nothing more than silver and food.

The beggar snatched the silver from Mu Li's hand and held it tightly in his arms. There are so many pieces of silver, for a beggar, it takes a long time to beg before he can have it.

"If you want to know anything, just ask, this is my territory, usually no one comes, and I didn't sleep well last night when it crackled and noisy." Beggars often mingled here, and this place was his only place to stay, and he couldn't be more familiar with it.

Mu Li turned back to Chu Lingyi and smiled, "Then did you see their faces last night?" ”

The beggar picked up a straw on the ground and put it in his mouth, "No, they all cover their faces, and they can't understand what they are saying, so they shouldn't be locals." ”

Not a local? According to what Xue Ping said last night, the villagers came to steal the bamboo, could it be that they deliberately dressed up as villagers, but they were actually other people?

Mu Li continued to ask, "Can you hear their accents?" ”

The beggar cooed with hunger, and he shook his head carelessly, "Thank you, good Samaritan, I have to go buy a big meat bun to eat." The beggar got up and went away.

This is strange, it was not the villagers who did it, who else could do it.

"I know, I know, it's a water monster." A child passed by the alley when he was playing, and said this to Mu Li, but immediately let his mother take it away. "I'm sorry, kid, don't mind."

No, there must be something going on here. Mu Li felt that it was impossible for this little child to say this for no reason, and judging from the expression of the child's mother, there must be some local rumors to come here.

Mu Li chased after him quickly, but the child was gone.

Mu Li guessed that something must have happened in the village before she came, otherwise why everyone was not very happy to mention the disappearance of the river. Asking them to help is always pushing, for all sorts of reasons.

"Does the princess suspect that someone is deliberately confusing the villagers?" Chu Lingyi also felt that what Fang Cai's child said was very suspicious, and the words of a child would not deceive people after all. "Well, why don't we ask the other villagers?"

"No, just go to the inn and ask the shopkeeper."

Mu Li felt that since the villagers were deliberately concealing it, they couldn't ask if they wanted to, so it was better to ask the strange innkeeper, at least he would tell the truth in the face of the silver.

Because Mu Li gave the shopkeeper a piece of gold, he smiled a little when he saw Mu Li, how could he treat the gold owner with a straight face as usual.

"Why did you come back, did you leave something?"

Mu Li leaned against the counter, took out her only two ingots of gold from the money bag, and dangled them in front of the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper's hands were about to pick it up, but Mu Li immediately withdrew it.

"When you answer my question, the gold will be yours." In the face of such a fine person as the shopkeeper, she naturally had to get the answer before she could give the gold.

"Ask, and you're guaranteed to be satisfied." The shopkeeper's eyes were about to fall, but when he heard Mu Li's question, his face immediately changed. "You better take back this gold, stay where it's cool, and don't get in the way of my business."

Looking at the shopkeeper's appearance, Mu Li was even more sure that what the kid said was true.
