"Look, my lord."

Liu Zhong handed a fish talisman to Li You, Li You took it and examined it carefully, and returned the fish talisman to Liu Zhong.

"Who found it?"

"A desert escaper is called Hanako."

"Where's the man?"

"Wait outside the door."

"Notify the post-mortem!" Li You glanced at the corpse on the pillar again, turned around and walked out.

On the wooden pillar, there was a corpse that had been gnawed and what was left, and the ground below the corpse was covered with blood. The corpse's bones were bare, and its expression was extremely distorted, obviously being eaten by something, little by little, and in the end, it may have died of excessive bleeding, or it was burrowed into the body by something and died of eating organs. However, there is no doubt that the deceased experienced great suffering before they died.

Li You came to the outside of the house, and a man in ragged clothes was waiting outside the door tremblingly.

Li You came to this person and patted this person on the shoulder first. "Don't be afraid, the official is just asking a few questions."

"My lord, I didn't kill anyone, I didn't kill anyone." The man immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li You begging for mercy.

"I know you didn't kill me." Li You hurriedly spoke comfortingly. "Just get up and talk." Li You couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

Refugee! The Tang Dynasty is now full of homeless people! Looking at the unclothed man in front of him with a yellow face and thin muscles, Li You once again affirmed Gaotao's assertion that Datang has really reached the end of the world.

"The officer asked you, how did you find the body?" Li You cleaned up his mood.

"The grass people were exiled here, and they wanted to find a place to live, so they looked around for some houses that no one lived in, and they found here..." Master, the grass people reported to the police as soon as they found out, really, you have to believe the grass people. ”

"Well, I believe it." Li You nodded and took out two taels of silver from his arms. "You can take these two taels of silver, and try to find a way to survive."

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! The man knelt down and buckled his head again, and Li You hurriedly helped him up. Go ahead, find a different place. ”

After this person left, Li You beckoned Liu Zhong to come over. "Liu Zhong, are you familiar with Liu Bao and Liu County?"

"Although he has the same surname, he is an outsider, and the younger one only came into contact with him after he became a county lieutenant, so he is not very familiar with him." Liu Zhong hurriedly explained.

"Outsiders? So he participated in scientific expeditions? Li You looked suspicious. Although the rank of the county lieutenant is not high, it is an important position with real power to undertake the work of taxation and military service, and how could a foreigner become a county lieutenant for no reason.

"Him?" Liu Zhong looked disdainful. "He originally couldn't read a few big characters, but after taking office, he was afraid that his subordinates would laugh at him, so he secretly invited a private school, and barely recognized a few words, how could he have participated in the scientific examination."

"Oh?" Li You listened to it and immediately realized that there must be something behind it. "Check! Liu Zhong! Be sure to find out the ins and outs of Liu Bao. ”

"Little obedience!" After Liu Zhong received the order, he hurried down.

Li You looked back at Liu Bao on the pillar, and his scalp was numb.

The murderer killed Liu Bao in such a tortured way, which shows that he has a very deep personal grudge with Liu Bao. This Liu Bao's official position is not in the right way, and he can promote an illiterate person to the county lieutenant, and the person behind this must have a great background.

In this remote Shengtang County, who has such energy?

"Is it?" Li You's eyes suddenly lit up.

………

"Hey, little Hanako, why are you here again?" A woman looked at the edamame in front of her, and although she looked dissatisfied, she still handed over the dry food in her hand.

"Hehe, your nest is delicious." The edamame milk voice is milky, and it completely restores the sound that a child should have.

"You are a seven or eight-year-old child, how can you come to beg for food by yourself." The woman's face was unbearable. "Your lordship?"

"It's all gone." At the mention of his family, Edamame immediately had tears in his eyes. Edamame's father drowned, and his mother was missing, so it wasn't a pretense at this time.

"I'm sorry, kid." The woman hurriedly apologized. "If you don't have anything to eat in the future, just come to my house. If it weren't for the disapproval of my man, I would have taken you as a godson. The woman shook her head.

"What are you doing!" At this moment, a man's shouting came from the courtyard.

"It's okay, it's okay." The woman had a look of fear on her face. "Child, you can also take these nests, I deliberately added more rice and noodles, and came to me after eating. Hurry up, hurry away. When the woman had said this, she hurried into the courtyard.

"Are you going to give Hanako food again?"

"No, no... Oops! ”

"Dare to scream!"

Syllable! Syllable!

"Woo... Boss, don't fight, I don't dare, don't dare. ”

Edamame held five nests in his hands, listening to the voices coming from the courtyard, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

What to do?

It's been five days in a row.

On the first day, Edamame had already confirmed that this man was Liu Dazhuang.

However, the first contact with edamame was not Liu Dazhuang, but Liu Dazhuang's insider. Edamame was supposed to hate this woman just as much, but after a few contacts, Edamame fell into a paradoxical situation, and the more he got into contact, the deeper he became.

This woman was a good woman, a good woman like her own mother. She will give alms to everyone who begs, and she will be beaten by Liu Dazhuang every time, but she will still give alms secretly every time. And every time I give alms, there is sincerity in my words and expressions, and even respect.

Such a person, edamame can't get his hands on it.

Because of the woman's feelings, Maodou couldn't do anything to Liu Dazhuang.

Maybe it's just an excuse. After all, this person is Liu Dazhuang, the person he once entrusted his life, and his belly....

Ay!

Edamame sighed, looked into the courtyard a few more times, and turned to leave.

………

Yangzhou, the residence of the Huainan Jiedu Embassy.

"Childe, Li You is such a person." Yang Ming stood respectfully in front of Ling Huxuan.

Ling Hu Jian had just gotten up at this time, and his face was full of fatigue. "You came all the way here just for such a county official the size of a mung bean?" Ling Hu Ji yawned.

At this time, an eleven or twelve-year-old boy ran out of Ling Huji's bedroom. The young man was disheveled, raised his eyes and saw Yang Ming, turned his head and ran back.

"What to run! Lord Yang is a retainer of this son, and he doesn't know more than you! Ling Fox scolded loudly. Fetch me water. "Yes, yes." The boy was submissive.

When Yang Ming heard this, a look of disgust appeared in his eyes, but he immediately covered it up. "Childe, there is still something to report to my subordinates."

"What's the matter?" Ling Fox frowned.

"Liu Dabao, dead."

"Oh?" Ling Fox immediately became alert. "Dead? How did he die? ”

"He died a terrible death." Yang Ming told Liu Dabao's death in detail.

"That's something to be more cautious about." Ling Hu Jian pondered for a while and looked at Yang Ming again. "Yang Ming, what do you mean when you said that Li You is absolutely an extraordinary person?"

"Childe, that's right." Yang Ming explained Li You's breakthrough of Zhao Wu's case, especially Wang Miao's abnormal situation, to Ling Hulu. "That's why my subordinates took personal leave and made a special trip to Yangzhou to report to you."

"Okay, it's worthy of being a retainer cultivated by this son!" Ling Hu Jian grabbed Yang Ming's hand and touched it back and forth twice, Yang Ming's brows frowned slightly, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, but because he kept his head down, Ling Hu Jian didn't notice.

"Since the other party is an extraordinary person, then Ben Gongzi also has to invite an extraordinary person." Ling Hu muttered to himself. "Yang Ming, you stay for a few more days, let's talk about the old days."

"Childe, Li You, in order to achieve his goal, he will do whatever it takes, and he is quite suspicious, his subordinates are afraid of long nights and dreams, so it is better to rush back as soon as possible." Yang Ming hurriedly declined.

"That's fine." Ling Hu Jian let go of Yang Ming's hand. "You're so old, hey."

"Thank you for your concern!" Yang Ming still lowered his head, and the look of disgust in his eyes was even heavier.

"Go down." After Ling Hu finished speaking, he waved his hand at Yang Ming.

"The subordinates retired."

After Ling Huzhu waited for Yang Ming to leave, he waved his hand at the young man just now, and the young man immediately ran over, and Yang Ming took the young man into his arms. "Immediately inform Master Muchen, and say that my son has something to ask for."

"yes, got it." The boy replied in a pinched voice.
