Liling City, the official residence of the governor.

…………

Morning. Only then did he return to the official residence, and saw that Nong Bufeng was still being treated, and the door was closed, so Li Moyi did not inquire for the time being.

He met with Governor Li, briefly told him about his experience in the past few days, and then talked to Governor Li about business.

"My lord, the little nephew wants to interrogate that long-term follower immediately."

"Long follow? It's the long entourage next to Zhou Shushi, right? Governor Li thought about it, and finally remembered this person.

…………

"Exactly! In the past few days, not too many people know that the little nephew and Ge Lao went to the Heavenly Hell Gate to investigate the case, so how did they know that the book was not hungry? There is eyeliner only in the governor's mansion without hunger in the manual! ”

"But that long-term follower is locked up in prison, how can he pass it on?" Mansion Chief Li frowned, touched his beard and said suspiciously.

But soon his eyes lit up, and he suddenly looked at Li Moyi, seeing that Li Moyi's eyes were certain, his face was also a little difficult to look at.

…………

"You mean......... History of Zhou Shu? ”

Li Moyi didn't nod, he pondered for a moment, and then said, "That Chang Sui is the key person assigned to Nong Bufeng by the Zhou family. If Shu Bu Hunger is the murderer, he must be an insider, and besides, I suspect that he is the liaison between Shu Bu Hunger and the Zhou family!! ”

Mansion Chief Li's face turned a little pale, and after a long time, he sighed faintly and said, "No wonder........."

…………

Li Moyi's heart suddenly became uneasy, and he hurriedly asked, "Is something wrong?"

Governor Li nodded and said: "During these days, you and I followed Ning Ge to the Heavenly Prison Gate, and this official residence was handed over to Zhou Shushi, and I didn't know until I came back a few days ago that the chief follower had already taken poison in prison and committed suicide in fear of crime........."

…………

When Governor Li talked about the suicide of the chief in fear of crime, Li Moyi was also quite helpless.

At present, the whole context of the incident is becoming clearer and clearer, but the resistance of the people behind the scenes is also getting bigger and bigger, and they have begun to reach out to the prison of the governor's official residence.........

This is enough to show how powerful the power of the people behind the scenes is, and it is no wonder that Ning Xiao personally went out to investigate this matter.

Since he couldn't interrogate the long follower, Li Moyi could only change direction.

…………

Li Moyi didn't plan to investigate the corpse of the long follower, because people who are not hungry will become more cautious, although there is no perfect murder.

——— as long as it is a murder, it will leave traces, but looking for clues through the corpse of the long follower can no longer solve the problem in a short time.

Moreover, an old spy like Chang Sui might be coerced by his family to take poison himself, and the autopsy would become meaningless.

As soon as this clue was broken, it seemed to be back to the original situation, and he could only wait for Nong Bufeng to wake up.

…………

However, the old doctor consulted all day, and he didn't know what kind of poison was in Nongbufeng!!

After these days of running, the residual poison in Nong Bufeng's body is constantly eroding his body, and if he can't find the antidote, I'm afraid his life will be difficult to protect.

Thinking of this, Li Moyi was also depressed.

If you don't sell stupidity yourself, you will plan every trick, so that the book will not be hungry and show its original form, and it will not make Nong Bufeng fall into the danger of poisoning.........

However, this incident also reminded him all the time that he must be more cautious in everything and never allow half a little slack.

——— carelessness in a hurry is a matter of human life.........

…………

Li Mo is probably not a person who feels sorry for himself, since he has taken a wrong step, he has to think of ways to remedy it in time.

These old doctors are the top doctors in Liling City, if even they can't know what kind of poison it is, it can only mean that the poison in Nong Bufeng's body is too out-of-the-way, or that the poison in him is not necessarily poison.........

…………

In Liling City, who is a professional when it comes to poisons and herbs?

Zheng Shuren should be counted as one!!

But Zheng Shuzhi is already dead, even his family has been compensated, his heart is broken, and there is nothing to say about him to help, unless......... Unless Scrivener Zheng is allowed to live.........

…………

This is clearly contrary to the principles of murder.

——— exchange the life of Scribe Zheng for the life of Nongbufeng, Li Mo is unwilling and can't, let alone can't.

So who else is proficient in herbalism other than Zheng Shuzhi?

…………

Two words suddenly appeared in Li Moyi's mind.

——— cottage!!

…………

Since Li Moyi left the cottage, he seemed to have forgotten everything about the cottage, and only the ancestor next to Xiaobaiyan reminded Li Moyi from time to time that they still had such a past grudge.

Although the old man Shizun is only the owner of the mountain family, even Ning Xiao went to the cottage to see him in person, which shows that he is still famous in the southern mountains and forests.

The ability of the cottage to control the cicada is also second to none, not to mention the thief, who is famous in ten miles and eight towns, is the ancestor, and he has a lot of ability.

But after the ancestor, he complained very much about himself, even if Li Moyi really went to invite, he might not be able to invite him.

…………

That long-term follower is the old long-term follower of the Zhou family, it is said that he grew up watching the little white face ——— Zhou Shushi, but now he is committing suicide in prison.

How could ——— let Wanzu help Li Moyi?

…………

So far, Li Moyi can think of it.

——— can only ask the old man to be respected.

In case the thief doesn't want to come, he can also ask the old man to help find some other high-ranking people to come and help.

Thinking of this, Li Mo asked Tanzhong to run to the cottage.

…………

Now, with Li Yijian and Ning Boyi, the escort force is enough.

———According to Da Han, the progress on the side of Lifu Villa is also nearing the end, and there is an archer Li Mu supervising it, so there is nothing to worry about.

…………

After sending Tanzhong away, Li Moyi didn't sit and wait for his death.

Although the old doctors are helpless, they can still save the small life of the farmer.

Taking advantage of this time, Li Moyi had other things to investigate.

This is the second hand preparation he made.

——— in case Nong Bufeng, the key witness, eventually died, he had to come up with enough evidence.

Therefore, Li Moyi still needs to look for evidence, as long as there is evidence, Ning Xiao can take the opportunity to exert his strength.

Moreover, after these things, Li Moyi also began to have doubts.

…………

Shu Bu Hunger is a eunuch, which is said to be very consistent with the profile of the murderer behind him, but Shu Bu Hunger's actions are too decisive and vicious, which is different from the murderer behind him.

——— real murderer's state of mind is different from ordinary people, so there will be inner struggles and contradictions to a large extent between actions.

On the one hand, he was aware of what he was doing, and on the other hand, he couldn't help it.

…………

But the book is not hungry and resolute.

gave full play to the viciousness of the secret agent, and did not have half of this contradiction and hesitation.

Moreover, the book is not hungry and is very good at self-denial and forbearance.

Before he confronted Li Moyi head-on, he had always shown himself with a well-documented image, which showed that he had an extremely good ability to regulate his mood.

At this point, it is inconsistent with the murderer behind it.

…………

Combine these kinds of performances.

Li Moyi's conclusion that the book is not hungry is the real murderer was also shaken.

After all, so far, there is no tangible evidence, and Nong Bufeng has not had time to say who the real culprit is.

Therefore, Li Moyi also needs to investigate and collect evidence.

…………

Although Nong Bufeng's poison has not been completely lifted, his situation has stabilized, and with Li Yijian and others guarding him, Li Moyi is relieved to continue investigating the case.

But at this point in this case, are there any other clues?

The answer is yes.

…………

The night before Li Moyi left the farmhouse.

——— Nongbufeng's concubine gave Li Moyi a box, and Li Moyi's new clues are in this box!

Li Moyi once found a few boxes under Nong Bufeng's couch, which contained the victim's belongings, but unfortunately those boxes were snatched away by Shu Bufeng.

How do you know that there is no way out of doubt, and there is another village in the willows and flowers. After the box was snatched away, Nong Bufeng's concubine sent the box again.

…………

——— box also contained the victims' belongings, but they were not collected by Nong Bufeng.

It's that these concubines steal it from their sheep in Nongbufeng's room on weekdays.........

Don't look at Nong Bufeng as a general judge, and he has seven or eight wives and concubines, but he has no love for these wives and concubines, but likes to explore flowers, and the silver money general spends on the wild butterfly, but he is stingy with the concubines.

…………

Except for the Nong Li family, these concubines are all young, and they are vain, and after marrying Nong Tongju, they thought they would be able to eat and drink.

Who would have thought that Nong Bufeng would abandon them like clogs.

…………

Immediately, they began to secretly smooth out all the things in the nongbufeng house through their subordinates or by themselves.

At first, they didn't expect that Nong Bufeng would have so many women's things in the room, and they thought that Nong Bufeng bought them for women outside, and they were even more angry, and this behavior became more and more frequent.

…………

Until Li Mo appeared, something happened to Nong Bufeng.

They vaguely realized that Nong Bufeng's accident was very likely to be related to these things, so they collected all the things and secretly gave them to Li Moyi.

It's not that they care much about the lack of abundance, but they are afraid that these things will get into trouble for themselves because they don't know how to get them.

…………

In any case, this box of belongings gave Li Mo a new clue.

…………

After such a long time, the officials finally sorted out the missing people.

Those who meet the screening conditions have already asked Wang Shi to take people to investigate.

And the part of the book that is not hungry for the investigation, the list has been given to Li Moyi earlier, but it doesn't seem to be of much significance.

…………

Even if Shu Bu is not hungry and is not the real murderer, and it has nothing to do with the real murderer, then his information is not so credible.

Li Mo cleaned up his thoughts, put on gloves, and then opened the box.

…………

——— boxes contain all kinds of small items, from headdresses to rouge gouache to white sachets, as well as embroidered shoes, jade bracelets and earrings.

…………

Although there is some pearlescent meaning, Li Moyi's state of mind is a little heavy, because he knows that everything here represents a person's life.........

As soon as Li Mo entered the mode of thinking about the case, the whole person would become solemn and focused, and he looked at each item carefully, hoping to find clues that could confirm the identity of the owner from these items.

…………

——— small marks on jewelry, embroidery on objects, patterns on soles, etc.

But Li Moyi really doesn't know much about the customs and folklore of the world, let alone these small objects.

…………

After thinking about it, Li Mo called Da Han over.

Tell me about your difficulties.

Da Han is also a little embarrassed.

…………

Although Da Han is a girl in a big family, in the final analysis, he is still a subordinate, and his knowledge is very small.

If it weren't for Duo Niang being kind to her and often teaching her something, Da Han might also be like other Yahuan, who couldn't read a single big word.

…………

"That's right! We can invite Mrs. over, the eldest young master has never asked about business matters before, and the business of the business of the business name is handled by Mrs., she should know these things best!! ”

"Ma'am? Which lady? ”

As soon as Li Mo saw that Da Han was so excited, he subconsciously asked, and immediately woke up again.

The lady in the mouth of the big cold.

———— should be referring to Duo Niang.

…………

"That being the case, the great cold......... Let's go and ask Madame to come over........." Li Moyi said with a chuckle.

Da Han also gladly accepted the order.

…………

But Li Moyi felt that it was inappropriate, after all, he had a request for others.

Besides, Duo Niang also has a shadow on the governor's residence, so after thinking about it, it is better to go to the door by yourself.

"Let's go together."

Li Mo took the box with him, and under the leadership of Da Han, he left the governor's mansion and went to and from home.

…………

After noon, the light rain stopped.

The air is full of cool moisture, the old trees are full of flowers, and the rain-washed streets exude a quaint and mottled atmosphere.

…………

Under the flow of water.

There is an oil-paper umbrella on the bridge, and under the wide umbrella surface, the big cold girl is like the pole of the umbrella.

Li Moyi didn't hold an umbrella, and the drizzle came to his face, which made his whole person become excited.

Li Mo was already very familiar with Liling City, but he still needed Da Han to lead the way.

After walking for two moments, I finally arrived at the house.

…………

Laijia was originally also a major merchant in Liling City, doing a cloth and satin village and various miscellaneous department store business.

Lai Jinwei should have taken over the family's business, but he participated in the imperial examination, and his identity was not the same, and he would never be involved in such a scary thing as a businessman.

The old man originally wanted to hand over the business to the second son——— to Rongda. But when he came to Rongda, he also wanted to study, and he didn't worry too much about business, and his business gradually became much lighter.

…………

After "The Case of the Shipwreck of the Scholar" in broad daylight, the family suddenly became cold and sparse, and the business also plummeted.

…………

When Li Mo came to the house, the door was closed.

After knocking for a long time, an old man with missing front teeth came to open the door, and heard that it was the criminal scrivener of the governor's mansion, so he hurried back to the inner house to pass the door.

If it weren't for Li Moyi, Duo Niang would have died a long time ago.

Neither will he be rescued from the cellar.

It is even more unlikely that Rongda will reduce the sentence and redeem it.

It is not too much to say that Li Moyi is the life-saving father of the Lai family.

…………

Come in and take a seat in the hall. A servant had already served fragrant tea.

Li Mo looked at it one by one, and the people who served tea were all old cooks in their thirties and forties, and they were quiet and heavy in the huge mansion, and they were very sad.

…………

Da Han stood behind Li Moyi with his head down, looking a little restrained, quite a little unashamed.

After sitting for a while and taking two sips of tea, the old lady came to help the old man and walked out, and he was about to bow to Li Mo immediately.

…………

Li Mo must have taken a look.

——— old man had a towel wrapped around his head, a sick face, and he coughed violently twice from time to time.

The old lady was also full of sadness, and she was also full of anger for a while, and hurriedly asked the two old men to sit down and talk.

…………

"The arrival of the adults in the cold house really makes Peng Sheng shine, the old man is not thoughtful, and I hope the adults will forgive me........." The old man came to show again and again, and his posture was very low.

Li Mo couldn't help but think that at the beginning, in the Liling City Governor's Mansion, the old man was full of majesty and command, and then looked at the current downfall, and sighed lightly in his heart.

…………

"Don't be like this, old man, Li took the liberty to come, and he was also abrupt, but there are some things that need the help of the young grandmother, but it is not endless, but it is disturbing......... "Time is pressing, and Li Mo will get straight to the point.

I heard that Li Moyi was looking for Duo Niang's help, and the second elder of the family was also a little surprised.

…………

The old man sighed and didn't speak.

It was the old lady who took the lead in opening her mouth.

"It's a bad luck for you, huh......... It's also a misfortune for the family, my idiot doesn't know what madness he has now, he wakes up all day and gets drunk again, and he doesn't care about it, he made a mistake earlier, and he actually took Duo Niang off, but now he is back to his parents' house........."

…………

"Divorced Duo Niang?"

Li Mo was also slightly surprised when he heard this, but he was relieved after thinking about it.

——— if she can really put Duo Niang home, it will be a good thing for Duo Niang.

…………

In fact, remarriage is not uncommon in the world, and many people are not as repulsed as they imagined.

…………

After talking to the second elder of the house, Li Mo left the house with Da Han.

…………

turned to the Li family, and really found Duo Niang.

Li Mo is also Duo Niang's life-saving benefactor after all, and the Li family saw Li Mo coming, so they hurriedly welcomed him in.

…………

Although Duo Niang is still dressed as a woman, she lives alone in a small courtyard, and she does not step out of the door, so she has no intention of remarrying.

At this time, Duo Niang was a little thinner, her eyes were full of melancholy, and when she saw Li Mo visiting, there was more god in her eyes.

…………

Lest others gossip, the Li family and his wife should have stayed in the hall.

But I heard that Li Moyi came to investigate the case, and there was a big cold girl present, so they exchanged pleasantries with Li Moyi, and then found an excuse to withdraw.

…………

Li Moyi put the box on the table and said to Duo Niang, "Madame........."

As soon as these two words were spoken, Li Mo remembered that Duo Niang had already come to give him a break, and said with an embarrassed smile: "......... It was Li who was abrupt......... The eldest sister of the Li family, don't be surprised........."

Duo Niang heard the word Mrs., and her eyes were also dim, but when she heard Li Mo change her mouth to call him eldest sister, she suddenly smiled again.

…………

"What is the eldest sister, it's weird and ugly, if the adults don't dislike it, just call the concubine a concubine and say a lot of .........."

Duo Niang is proficient in calligraphy and painting, and she is also a woman who has read books and knows how to read, so it is indeed inappropriate to call her eldest sister.

"Yes, Li is here this time, in fact, there is something to ask Duo Niang for your help........."

…………

The conversation finally shifted to business.

"The concubine is just a stupid woman, but I don't know what I can help......... "After Duo Niang was driven back to her parents' house, she had nothing to do all day, she was depressed for a long time, and she was also very depressed, if she could help Li Moyi do something, it would be good, but Li Moyi was a criminal case scrivener, and she really didn't know what she could help.

Li Mo didn't bother at all, opened the box and then said to Duo Niang: "This is the evidence of a case, Li heard the big cold girl say, Duo Niang, you know a lot about women's objects, so I want to ask Duo Niang to help take a look."

"If you can determine the respective ownership of these objects through these objects and find some clues, it will help Li a lot........."

…………

When Duo Niang heard this, she was immediately interested, but she didn't dare to touch the box, so she just poked her head slightly and glanced at the things in the box.

Come to Jin for rarely go home, Duo Niang lives in an empty room, if you talk about women's red embroidery and weaving and other work, Duo Niang is indeed a good hand, the shoehorn and some women's jewelry and a variety of clothing and accessories style, she is also very knowledgeable.

The women of the world often work, handicrafts are basically a compulsory skill for women, and the things made by each woman are naturally very different, but they are not traceless.

…………

——— for example, the embroidery base described by Duo Niang is very popular in Liling City, but where the female is red, there are few who do not know Duo Niang, and many women like to borrow the foundation and style from Duo Niang.

In addition, Duo Niang often runs the family's cloth and satin business.

This back and forth, Duo Niang gradually became an expert in the things used by the women in the city.

…………

Seeing that Duo Niang was a little restrained, Li Mo took out a pair of gloves and asked Duo Niang to put them on, so that she could safely check the items in the box.

…………

After Duo Niang put on her gloves, she examined the objects from the box in the same way, and the melancholy in her eyes was swept away, replaced by a lean and focused.

"Most of these objects are ......... Most of them are things in the Colorful Pavilion, as far as the concubine knows, the master behind the Colorful Pavilion used to be the red card in the hidden building, and later Congliang married the young master of the Huang family in Liling City, the things of the Colorful Pavilion are still good, but they are generally only sold to ...... Only sold to Sister Yinlou........."

…………

Li Moyi also checked these things, and he didn't feel any difference at first, but after hearing what Duo Niang said, he took a closer look and found that it was really a little different.

…………

According to Duo Niang's explanation, the guys in this colorful pavilion are all women, and these women will take the style model and go to various buildings and the homes of the sisters in the hidden building to sell, and this business model is also very advanced.

Although Duo Niang saw the origin of these things, no matter how many things were, there was nothing she could do.

——— Qicai Pavilion is a small handicraft workshop, and it has not been sold through Duo Niang's cloth and satin village, so Duo Niang naturally has no way of knowing who these things are.

If you want to know, you can only go to the Colorful Pavilion to check the account book records.

…………

Some other things have also seen some clues, but there are too many things that Duo Niang has to buy and sell, and these objects don't have too many characteristics, and Duo Niang is not sure which owner it is.

Although Li Moyi was a little disappointed, he also understood that after all, Liling City was so big, and it was impossible for Duo Niang to remember every guest.

…………

Just as Li Mo was about to go to the Colorful Pavilion to try his luck, Duo Niang said with some hesitation.

"Your Excellency......... There's something I don't know if I should say or not........."

Li Mo waved his hand, smiled and said, "But it's okay to say it, Li came today, isn't it just asking for help from you."

Duo Niang smiled a little reluctantly, and then pointed to the box and said, "My lord, although the concubine can't confirm the objects inside, she knows the origin of this box.........

"This box?"

"Exactly. This box is made of pineapple wood, the style is ordinary, but the gilt corners, lined with gold cloth, is not something that ordinary people dare to use......... Even in the rich and noble family, some colors and patterns cannot be used, and gold wire cannot be used........."

Listening to Duo Niang say this, Li Moyi already knew most of it.........

…………

Yes, the hierarchy was very strict, red was respected, and gold was always the color of the emperor.

Li Moyi has always focused on the objects in the box, but it is difficult to verify these objects, and there is only one box, isn't it easier to find clues through the box.........

This is really a word to wake up the dreamer.

Moreover, Li Moyi also got a crucial clue from Duo Niang's words.........

…………

Although Duo Niang couldn't find any useful clues on those objects, she found this non-compliant box!!

…………

Although only gold silk cloth is used in the lining of the box, it is enough to show that the identity of the owner of the box is not simple.

Nong Bufeng was sentenced to the gate of heaven, and there were a lot of gold and silver utensils at home, but he did not dare to use gold silk cloth, because gold silk cloth was the material used by the emperor to make clothes.........

…………

Looking at the entire Liling City, and even the Heavenly Hell Gate, there is only one place where the golden silk cloth may appear.

———That's a family!!

Because the family has a daughter-in-law named Zhao Lele.

Her cousin is Zhao Guifei, who is the most expensive today!!

…………

After Zhao Guifei gained power, the Zhao family can be said to be a one-person chicken dog ascending to heaven, and Zhao Lele is often rewarded, and this box is very likely to be obtained from Zhao Guifei.........

…………

The clue that Duo Niang found was like blowing up a dam blocking the torrent, causing several lakes to merge together.

This allowed Li Moyi to connect all the clues together.

…………

Wang Longshang, Nong Bufeng, Shu Bu Hunger, Zheng Shu, and even He Tiancheng, this clue is like a magnet, connecting all the fragments.........

"Thank you, Duo Niang! You've been a great help!! Li Mo couldn't hold back the excitement and excitement in his heart, and subconsciously grabbed Duo Niang's hand.

…………

Li Mo suddenly noticed his abruptness, hurriedly retracted his hand, and smiled awkwardly at Duo Niang: "I'm sorry......... Something got carried away........."

Duo Niang only lowered her head.

Li Mo didn't dare to look at it more, so he hurriedly got up, took the box, and walked out of the hall.

"First......... I'm going to investigate the case first, and I'll thank you ......... later."

…………

Li Mo walked outside the hall as soon as he dropped a sentence, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, and he couldn't help muttering to himself.

And there was a sudden thump at the foot.

Because he suddenly found himself on the run, he left the big cold girl in the hall.........

…………

Thinking of this, Li Mo couldn't help but slow down, turned his head and saw that Duo Niang just raised her head, looking at each other.........

Li Mo inevitably took a second look, but found that she was also looking at herself.

…………

Just as he was looking, Da Han chased him out of the hall.

Li Moyi looked at Da Han, strolled forward and said, "Girl, be smart........."

Da Han covered his mouth and snickered, then took a few steps closer and said, "Hey...... By all means next time........."

As he spoke, Da Han touched his forehead and grinned,

When I looked back, Duo Niang was watching the two of them at the door.

…………

Li Moyi did not return to the official residence, but returned to Lifu Villa with Da Han.

——— because Wang Longshang needed to recuperate his old wife, Li Moyi let him live in the villa.

…………

When I saw Wang Longshang again, he was drinking tea with Li Mu in the yard, because of the heavy rain, there was no way to work on the construction site, and it was idle today.

Li Mu's appearance is good, and the recuperation during this period of time has obviously seen results.

And Wang Lung's old wife also got better, and the old man was also smiling.

…………

Li Mo was also very happy when he saw that the two of them were talking and laughing, and walked over to show Li Mu, and Wang Longshang next to him had already quickly got up.

Li Mo didn't hesitate, put the box on the table, and told everything about it, and then asked Wang Long.

"Old man, do you remember the scene at that time, who were the guests at the Nongbufeng banquet? In addition to the guard of the Zhou family, is there anyone else secretly protecting the guests? ”

Wang Longshang was the most suspicious, if it hadn't been for Li Moyi, maybe he would have been arrested as a murderer, where is there such a blessing, not only to treat his old wife, but also to let him live in this magnificent villa.

…………

After Wang Longshang thought about it, he said to Li Moyi: "The old man was just a guy at the time, and then when something happened, he called the old man as an emergency doctor, and every time he let the old man stay outside the banquet hall, I didn't dare to look at those girls, but if you want to talk about the guests, they go in and out, and the old man has some impressions.........

When Li Mo heard it one by one, his whole body suddenly perked, and he immediately urged: "Let's say!!"

…………

Wang Longshang didn't dare to be ambiguous, closed his eyes slightly, frowned, and seemed to be trying to recall the scene at that time, and it took a long time before he slowly spoke.

"The number of these guests is not much, there are only one or two when they are young, and there are many of them, just looking at the dress and appearance, and the old man only knows that they are all big families, as for which number one person it is, it is not clear, but ........."

"But there is one of them who is very interesting, she is there every time, and she leaves until dawn, sometimes Nong Bufeng leaves, she hasn't left yet, and she has driven me away a few times, so the old man remembers it .........more clearly."

"Oh? Is there anything special about that person, and if you see him again, can you recognize it? Li Moyi was also in a great mood.

…………

"Well......... The man was in his twenties, and although he had a sticky beard and didn't speak, he was sure that he was a guy dressed as a man!! ”

"Woman disguised as a man?!!!"

"Yes——— a woman dressing up as a man!! Although this person has big hands and feet, the smell on her body can't hide her old nose!! ”

Li Moyi was also a little crying and laughing, thinking that this Wang Long was also a capable person, and he was really out of his mind when he observed words and feelings.

…………

"Besides, although the guard beside her is also hiding his head and tail, but it is not a good thing, the smell of spices on his body is very strong, he should be a eunuch, my lord, you should know if you think about it, the woman's identity is too big, so the old man didn't dare to look at it more, but if he sees it again, he should be recognizable........."

Hearing this, Li Mo's heart was unsettled, and after going around for so long, he finally managed to see the moon.........

…………

was so optimistic about Wang Longshang at the beginning, this old man really did not disappoint himself.

Li Moyi's thoughts flowed quickly, connecting all the clues in one place.

The veins in my mind gradually became clearer.

——— seems to make sense of all the doubts, and the fog has been cleared for the most part!!

…………

"Old man, if this is the case, do you have the courage to follow Li?" Li Mo let out a long breath, and then said to Wang Long.

Wang Longshang restrained his smile, got up and showed it, and said with a solemn face: "Lord Li has great kindness to the old man and wife, if the adult does not dislike it, the old man will saddle the horse in the future, and it will all depend on the adult!!"

Li Mo's eyes lit up, he helped Wang Lung up, and said with great joy: "Okay!" Haha———"

…………

…………

Ninh House.

…………

After Li Mo came back from the villa, he took Wang Long up to Ning Xiao's mansion.

informed Ning Xiao of all the results of his investigation, and the latter was silent for a long time, and continued to ask Li Moyi for verification, asking a lot of questions, and then nodded.

"In that case, let's go to the family." Ning Xiao seemed to have made a lot of determination, and Li Moyi could also see his caution and solemnity.

…………

According to the box, plus Wang Lung's confession.

——— the woman dressed as a man should be Zhao Lele himself, and the guards around him are not hungry for books!

Looking at the entire Fengdu City, I am afraid that the only person who can let the secret agent of Shu Bu Hunger serve as a guard is this Zhao Guifei's precious cousin.........

…………

Li Mo once suspected that Shu Bu was the murderer behind it, but his various actions and mood reactions were a little different from the previous profile, which made Li Mo puzzled, and now he has brought out Zhao Lele, and things are much easier.

As long as Zhao Lele knows that this matter has been defeated, in order to save her reputation, she will inevitably abandon the car and protect the handsome, even if there is no testimony of Nong Bufeng, I believe that Zhao Lele will also abandon the book.........

…………

Ning Xiao is a resolute person, although he has already died, but since he has decided to get involved in this matter, there is no reason to hesitate.

Immediately let Ning Boyi and Lu Li escort them and came to the house.

…………

Li Yijian, Lai Buhu, and Aunt Fu need to protect Nong Bufeng, and besides, their appearance is too eye-catching, and Ning Xiao doesn't plan to bring them, and Li Moyi also brings Wang Long, who is dressed as a scribe.

…………

Hefu

…………

Ning Xiao is a world-famous figure, no matter how high the family is, they dare not give Ning Xiao face, the old lady with a family member, waiting under the archway early.

Now that He Tiancheng is in prison, although he has been dredged up the relationship, the case is also pressed in the official residence of the third division, and the verdict has not been made for a long time, just to leave time for the family.

And the second son Hezhongcheng has also died, and the long house is facing an embarrassing situation where no one can continue, and it is difficult for the old lady to be happy.

Although He Tiancheng is not there, as the housewife of the long house, no matter how noble Zhao Lele's status is, it is said that she should represent the long house to welcome her, but she did not appear.

…………

Li Moyi is also very curious about Zhao Lele, this woman's name has been appearing since the Shizi shipwreck case, but until now, Li Moyi has still not been able to see the true face of Lushan.

This time, Ning Xiao's honorable driver was moved out, and the old lady actually said that Zhao Lele was ill and was recuperating, so it was inconvenient to meet guests.

…………

Li Mo planned to come over to meet Zhao Lele, so that Wang Long could identify it, but Zhao Lele didn't know if he had noticed this, so he chose to avoid it!!

Ning Xiao is also a big man, and he can't name and say that he must meet someone's daughter-in-law, so he can only follow the old lady to the mansion first.

…………

The old lady took Ning Xiao, Li Moyi and others to take a tour of the Hefu all the way.

Introducing the origin of those things in the mansion, which military general left the plaque, which writer wrote the inscription on the wall, and which ancestor on the family tree got what imperial gifts, this way of browsing down, it is also extremely shocking.

…………

This mansion is like a large ancestral hall, and each building seems to have a deep historical origin, as if the entire mansion is an exhibition hall, so that guests can feel the glory of his family for hundreds of years.........

Although Ning Xiao is famous, his background was not high at first, and his family background was not as deep as that of the He family, but he once dominated the world, and his face did not change, and his words and smiles were mediocre.

…………

And Li Moyi didn't know much about the generals and historical history of the previous dynasties, and he didn't care about it.

Moreover, he had already suspected Zhao Lele's head, this was a big case, if it was dealt with, Ning Xiao might be able to take advantage of it to get back to power.

If it is self-defeating, not to say that it is him, even Ning Xiao will not be able to please him, and even, I am afraid that it will be difficult to save his life.........

…………

Thinking like this in his heart, Li Moyi became more and more dignified.

After the old lady welcomed Ning Xiao into the banquet hall.

Li Mo and Ning Boyi stayed outside.

…………

Mrs. He is a person who has seen the world, and she and Ning Xiao are naturally talking and laughing, and there are some local squires in Liling City to accompany her, and the atmosphere is also extremely warm.

As soon as Li Mo stood outside for a while, he excused himself to borrow a toilet under the pretext of stomach pain, and was planning to go to Hefu to take a look, and it was best to go to Zhao Lele to investigate.

——— didn't expect that the family would also be prepared for this and would not allow outsiders to move around.

…………

A steward saw that Li Mo was leaving, so he came over to ask, and when he heard that Li Mo wanted to go to the thatched house, he immediately frowned, but thinking that Li Moyi was also Ning Xiao's entourage, he just smiled and instructed a small servant to take Li Moyi to the backyard.

Old Tale 1: The Magic Cannon. Note 1

"Have you heard of this legend? Of course, it's a story from hundreds of years before we were born........."

——— first part of the Tale of the Underworld

Exotic North.

…………

Togo had already exchanged all the money he had for wine.

The sun was shining and it was a little hot.

For Togo, only wine is the medicine for everything.

He was a small soldier in the northern country, and when he returned to the team camp, he would have to make up an excuse for the whereabouts of the cannon, and he would definitely have to be scolded, and maybe two or three lashes on his back, but he could bear it.

———After all, injuries are commonplace.

Moreover, the wine has already been drunk, and it is not possible to say anything more, and it is appropriate to be punished.

That being said, I always felt so angry that it was so unfair why he was the only one who had to be punished.

…………

Tugo picked up the cup with a notched rim and muttered.

His tanned face was flushed with water, and his sweat-stained armor rested at the foot of his torn chair.

…………

Not long ago, in order to buy alcohol and drink, Togo also traded his old cannon with foreign merchants.

In fact, it was the merchant named Luo Sheng who delivered the silver to the door himself. The cunning man seems to be a loyal and honest man, but in reality?

——— are all villains who don't see what they seem.

Tu Wuxin said.

…………

At that time, Togo was walking to the well to wash off the red stained cannon.

Luo Sheng came out of the shadows, took out the bag of silver from his arms, and hoped that Tuwu would sell him the cannon.

Of course, it is impossible for Togo to agree.

A soldier who runs out of weapons will be reprimanded by the general, but he keeps raising the price.

Eventually, Togo finally agreed, and sold the old cannon to the guy.

…………

Then, in the crooked alleys with a layer of sand, other exotic merchants appeared.

Tugo thought that he was going to be beaten by them, but they knelt down in front of Tugo and bowed to him and thanked him.

Tuwu was confused.

…………

They said that it was because Tugo had used the cannon to finish off the prisoner, so that he could be freed sooner.

…………

However, Tugo didn't think much about it at the time.

Like the executioner's beheading, that's just his duty as a gunner.

Moreover, Tugo could not continue to put up with the nonsense of that cowardly prisoner.

…………

——— the prisoner looked at Tuwu at his feet, and kept telling Tuwu what God and truth were, and kept preaching incessantly, while the sun hung high on the hill of the execution ground, Tuwu just wanted to end the execution as soon as possible and be freed from it.

That's why Tuwu suddenly picked up the cannon and ended up with the prisoner.

But the poor foreign merchants misunderstood Tugo's motives and thanked him like fools.

…………

And the merchant, Luo Sheng, who didn't buy it because he cherished it.

——— the prisoner was a foreigner, and he had lobbied everywhere during his lifetime, and even when he was arrested by people from the local government residence on the street many times, he kept lobbying, and later joined the team, and he was captured alive at the beginning of the war.

…………

Luo Sheng was one of those who suffered greatly from his "lobbying".

So Luo Sheng was actually grateful to Tuwu and Tuwu's cannon, and he was happier than anyone else, because that cannon completely eradicated the hypocrite's breath.

…………

Togo drank the rest of the sake and looked around the deserted store. There are also some soldiers like themselves who are drinking during the day.

——— emptiness.

Why do you want to stay in such a hot and remote place?

Why go to this ugly and crazy place, and then be caught up in the vortex of betrayal and contempt?

Yes!! I really want to go home, to the rich and beautiful northland, where I have a wife and children.

Tugo hadn't seen them in years, five years? Or six years?

They came here to suppress the foreigners, but it was they who became captives.

…………

Tuwu asked the little two who had the right eyes to pour him another wine, and while waiting, he couldn't help but sigh.

———There's nothing we can't conquer.........

This is simply fake. Fake, fake, fake!!

The prisoner is proof of that.

——— because the thin, delusional man wouldn't give in until the end, didn't he?

Although it was only for a moment, Togo was almost ready to believe the words of the thin man——— he was the true Son of God, no, not so much believing as he expected that to be the truth.

…………

But the prisoner was no different from most hypocrites. If that guy was really a savior, why did he die so easily?

Beggar begging for mercy.

Exaggeration and delusion of arrogance.

Fake savior.

A madman who firmly believes that he is the son of God.

Be the first to endure suffering.

Stupid smile.

It's unbearable!!

…………

Tuwu has seen too many people like him, and the precious lives of those people were all buried under the cannon that was sold to Luo Sheng.

Those saviors are all the same.

He claims to be the Son of God and claims to be able to perform miracles, but in fact, no one can prove or show miracles before him.

…………

Tugo has never been able to understand why the prisoner was able to win the trust of some people in such a short period of time.

——— the crooked-nosed savior who died last month was even more majestic.

Normally, everyone would follow after the hero, but the prisoner was clearly an extreme contrast.

He was thinner than the average man, devoid of grace, lacking confidence in his words and deeds, so thin that he was almost bone-thin, his untidy hair and beard were covered with dust, his cowardly eyes were hidden in the depths of his sunken sockets, fleas or scrub worms seemed to lodge in his body, and there was a foul stench, even the loincloth he wrapped around his body.

When the man spoke to someone, he never looked at the other person directly, and his eyes floating in the air occasionally peeked at the other person's face. His words seemed to sink into his mouth, so whispered that he was hard to hear, and kept spitting out boring words or delusions from the depths of his throat.

——— our God!!

…………

The words of the condemned prisoner were all about loving others, showing mercy to neighbors, and repenting. and so until he died.

……… Maybe that's why it's closer to reality!!

——— the biggest characteristic of the prisoner is that he always looks into the distance blankly.

Indeed, he doesn't feel like the hypocritical prophets, and that's perhaps what makes him appealing.

But these doubts vanished with the man's death, and the miraculous faith that Tu Wu had ignited turned into dust of nothingness.

…………

After drinking his wine, Tugo looked out of the small square window at the reddish-brown stone wall of the house opposite.

The wind was blowing outside, and the yellow sand was flying.

It was as if he had seen the side face of the guy who had been a clumsy lobbyist appear in the sky.

…………

……… Most of the people who should have supported the prisoner began to accuse him of falsehood, mock him, and even throw stones or spit on him, and the prisoner walked to the hill of the execution ground in the midst of the anger of the crowd.

He wore the crown made of thorns, the dripping red stains, the pale face, and the iron cuffs on his feet, but he only obeyed silently——— because his body was too weak to carry it.

…………

Under the scorching sun, the prisoner was pushed to the table along with two other thieves.

The two thieves endured the pain and laughed at those who came to see their suffering.

But that cowardly prisoner just quietly talked to himself.

…………

Those who stand from a distance may not know that before the execution, the prisoner kept pleading with us to promise not to deceive people again......... But it was too late, and no one would come to save him, because everyone was looking forward to it, and Tuwu could only place infinite sympathy on him.

In fact, the weakened prisoner should last a day and a night.

…………

However, under the scorching sun, Tuwu picked up a cannon and blasted it out. He didn't even have the strength to scream, and red stains bubbled out of the wound.

The crowd was right, and only the fact that he died can prove his lies.

——— that guy wasn't a savior at all, and he wasn't the son of God.

Ridiculous, how could the savior die?

…………

Can the convict turn water into wine?

Is that really a miracle?

No kidding! He just happened to have no glass, so he poured the wine in the palm of his hand and let the patient drink it.

Can the invisible eye see?

That's just because he brushed the dirt off his upper and lower eyes and face with his sleeves.

Can people come back from the dead?

That's because he had people stand in the tomb in advance.

…………

However, after a few days, these little things turned into deceptive rumors such as "miracles in the world".

It was clear to Tugo that this was a conspiracy by the Followers of the Death Prisoner, who had hyped up these lies, and that their actions were a hypocritical informant at a glance.

This time, though, those stupid people should have woken up.

——— because the only people who came to retrieve the bodies of the prisoners who were killed on the artillery platform were his mother and wife.

…………

Tuwu's cannon——— that broken copper and iron——— Luo Sheng's cunning guy actually regarded it as a treasure, it's really stupid, it's just a cannon that costs no more than three taels of silver——— no, stupid is Tuwu, he should raise the price.

…………

Togo wrinkled his sun-red face and spat out saliva that smelled of alcohol.

It was only a little bit of water, because this was a foreign north, a wilderness. Here everything is dry, the air is dry, the ground is dry, the heart is dry, even the water and the tears are dry.

The saliva that had just been spit out was immediately evaporated by the hot ground.

…………

Never thought of a place like this again.

Togo wants to leave this barren land as soon as possible.

Let him return to his long-lost hometown.

——— people who are being tortured.
