Chapter 56: Floating Corpses at the Bottom of the Lake

Shangguan Yuanxuan's face was pale, he glared at Dongfang Ai fiercely, blaming this stinky girl for exposing him in public, which made him so embarrassed.

"This son is the son of the prime minister, how can you be slandered! I think you're here to find fault! Come! Get them out! ”

Shangguan Yuanxuan gave an order, and several big men pushed Li Shenlong and the three of them and drove them out of the Jinbao Gambling House.

"Oops...... How unreasonable are you! Dongfang Ai turned around and wanted to seek justice for Li Shenlong, how did he know "Touch!" With a bang, the door of Jinbao Gambling House was closed, and she was directly closed.

"Forget it."

Li Shenlong kicked his legs at will, and now his legs are not as painful as just now, and he can walk freely.

He glanced back at the treasure gambling house, the gentleman took revenge, ten years is not too late. Li Shenlong has always had clear grievances, and Shangguan Yuanxuan secretly hurt people, so this account will not be settled like this.

Dongfang Ai kicked his foot hard: "I can't imagine that the son of Prime Minister Shangguan is so unreasonable!" ”

The corners of Li Shenlong's mouth rose slightly, and he poked Dongfang Ai with his elbow: "Yo, I didn't expect you to feel sorry for me?" ”

Dongfang Ai glanced at Li Shenlong, and said angrily: "Last time, I misunderstood that you were a thief, it was my fault, but just now I saw with my own eyes that Shangguan Yuanxuan's shoes had a needle hidden, and I just explained the facts!" ”

"Tut-tut." Li Shenlong felt happy in his heart, he touched his chin, and thought narcissistically, this county lord wouldn't be fancy to himself, right?

Dongfang Ai saw that he looked weird, as if he was daydreaming, she stretched out her hand and shook it in front of him: "Hey, are you okay?" ”

Li Shenlong came back to his senses, patted his handsome face, what are you dreaming about in the middle of the day?

"Hey, Lord County, if you really apologize to me, why don't you invite me to dinner?"

Dongfang Ai agreed without hesitation: "Okay, no problem!" ”

Dongfang Ai thought that Li Shenlong would take them to a famous and expensive restaurant like Zuixianlou, but he didn't expect Li Shenlong to take them to buy some meat and seasonings at the bazaar, and then came to the shore of Tailing Lake.

Li Shenlong burned a pile of firewood on the ground and sat by the fire roasting chicken and fish.

Brush the chicken and fish with a layer of greasy sesame oil, and the barbecue "bazibazi" makes a sound, and a drop of hot oil slowly slides down the plump texture of the meat, and the aroma is fragrant.

Dongfang Ai and Lime stared at the barbecue that Li Shenlong was turning, and the two of them were even more greedy, and they couldn't wait to taste what it was like to take a bite of the barbecue made by Li Shenlong.

After a while, Li Shenlong ripped off the two chicken legs from the roast chicken and handed them to Dongfang Ai and Lime respectively.

This chicken leg is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the two of them can't care about the heat, they open their mouths and bite it, wow! Delicious!

"Li Shenlong, I didn't expect your chicken to be so delicious!" Dongfang Ai couldn't help but sigh that she had never eaten such a delicious roast chicken in Xuanwumen for so many years.

Li Shenlong smiled proudly: "I, Li Shenlong, have these skills to survive in the wild since I was a child, of course, I am different from the county lord like you who stretches out his hand to eat and open his mouth." ”

This Li Shenlong can't stand the praise, and he gets carried away when he praises.

Dongfang Ai licked his fingers reluctantly after eating the chicken legs: "Hey, Li Shenlong, why don't you go to Xuanwumen to be a cook, and I'll give you your salary." ”

Hearing this, Li Shenlong's heart instantly burst into joy, could it be that the county lord was really interested in himself? If you can be the son-in-law of the county lord and be a county master, wouldn't you have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life? Thinking of this, Li Shenlong only felt that he was about to reach the peak of his life!

He approached Dongfang Ai with a wink, and asked with a smile, "Hey, Lord County, do you have a crush on me?" ”

Dongfang Ai's fair little face flushed slightly, and a small hand covered his approaching face: "You think beautifully!" ”

Li Shenlong still shouted unrelentingly: "Oh, don't be shy!" ”

The lime squatting aside and eating chicken only felt incredible, in the past, Dongfang Yu would often introduce some official eunuchs to the county lord, but the county lord was disdainful of those official sons, and he didn't expect that the county lord would like Li Shenlong's type.

Dongfang Ai pouted and stood up: "I'll go wash my hands!" ”

Li Shenlong squinted and looked at Dongfang Ai's back, and his heart blossomed, this little county lord must be shy!

Dongfang Ai walked to the side of Tailing Lake, squatted down and washed his hands with the lake water. Washing and washing, suddenly a bunch of bubbles appeared on the surface of the lake next to it, and at night, Dongfang Ai was startled, as if something had floated up.

Dongfang Ai took a closer look, and a miserable white face floated in the lake.

"Ahh

Dongfang Ai was so frightened that he covered his face with his little hands, not daring to look into the lake again.

Li Shenlong and Lime heard Dongfang Ai's call and immediately ran to the lake.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Li Shenlong asked anxiously.

Dongfang Ai closed his eyes and pointed to the lake in front of him tremblingly: "Yes...... There are corpses ......"

Li Shenlong protected Dongfang Ai behind him, and when he fixed his eyes, a male corpse floated up from the bottom of the lake.

Lime and Dongfang Ai hugged each other, this was the first time they had seen a corpse, and the two little girls were trembling with fright.

Li Shenlong squatted by the lake and watched, the skin of the floating corpse was wrinkled, it should have been soaked for several days.

Half an hour later, Li Shenlong took Dugu Shaobai to Tailing Lake.

"Here, here!" Li Shenlong pointed to the corpse floating on the surface of the lake, and some onlookers gathered around him.

Dugu Shaobai fished up the body and placed it on the grass on the shore.

The clothes on the man's chest were slightly rotten, and the skin on his body was blistered and folded, but fortunately the body was not decomposed, and he could see his face clearly.

There seems to be a word engraved on the chest of the corpse, Dugu Shaobai raised his hand and opened the clothes on the chest of the corpse, and found that the chest of the corpse was engraved with a tattoo of the word "ghost".

Li Shenlong looked at the word "ghost" on the chest of the corpse, and couldn't help but think of Tie Sheng, on Tie Sheng's chest, there was also an identical tattoo, he couldn't help but wonder, what did Tie Sheng experience before?

Dugu Shaobai waved his hand and let the guards behind him bring the corpse back to the Protector Villa.

……

Protector Lodge, morgue

In the morgue, there were seven corpses, which were coated with corpse preservation, so the bodies were intact and not decomposed.

On their chests, they are all engraved with the exact same tattoo of the word "ghost".

Shangguan Yutang looked at the shoes worn under the feet of these corpses, and the soles of six of them had mud and weeds, and at a glance, he knew that he had walked on the mountain road before his death.

And the seventh corpse that was brought back by Dugu Shaobai just now, the shoes had been soaked in water with the corpse for two days, and the soil on the soles of the shoes had been soaked off.

But in the lines at the bottom of the shoe, there are a few crystal clear pebbles, perhaps squeezed too tightly by the lines of the sole, so the pebbles have not been soaked off even if they have been soaked in water for a few days.

Shangguan Yutang used tweezers to clip out a few small pebbles from the sole of the shoe and put them in the tray on the side.
