In the north of Shengtang County, Peishui River Pingsheng Wharf.

There are three trestle bridges in this wharf, although it is not big, but it is the hub of water transportation in Shengtang County, and there are more than a dozen passenger ships and merchant ships coming and going every day.

Next to the pier's northernmost pier, a passenger ship is docked. The passenger ship building is only two floors, but the carved beams and paintings are beautifully decorated.

At the bow of this passenger ship, two figures stood facing the water, one dressed in white and the other dressed in yellow.

"How long are you going to mess around?" The man in white asked.

"I'm not messing around." The man in yellow replied.

"Do you know that this Shengtang County is no longer what it used to be, and its importance is far beyond what you think." The man in white continued to reprimand.

"So what?" The man in yellow was unmoved.

"Hey, I don't think you'll give up until you reach the south wall." The man in white sighed. "Do you know the identity of the person you encountered today?"

"I don't know, it doesn't look like a mortal." Seeing that the other party no longer reprimanded him, the man in yellow softened his tone.

"That man's name is Wang Miao, and he is a person possessed by a beast." The man in white explained. When the man in yellow heard this, he immediately showed a look of surprise. "The Beast? Could it be that those ancient sages also..."

"It should be just Gaotao, after all, this Tang Dynasty has a deep relationship with him." After the man in white finished speaking, he looked at the man in yellow. "So, today's danger, you should understand."

"Hmm." The man in yellow nodded. "If it weren't for you today, I'm afraid..."

"If only you knew!" At this point, the man in white raised his voice again. "The queen has sent an edict ordering you to return to Chang'an as soon as possible."

"Don't!" The man in yellow immediately refused. "I've worked so hard, and now I see that I'm going to get what I want, no matter what..."

"Get what you want?" Before the man in yellow could finish speaking, the man in white interrupted. "Have you ever wondered what would happen if it was revealed?"

"No, it won't." The man in yellow said categorically. "Now those who know the inside story are dead."

"All dead? Perhaps. The man in white showed a sly smile, which aroused the suspicion of the man in yellow. Anyone else? ”

"Not really." The man in white continued to smile and look at the man in yellow. "It's just that people are not as good as heaven, and there are always some people who appear when they shouldn't."

"Oh?" The man in yellow fell into deep thought.

"Besides, don't underestimate Li You, he is definitely not as simple as you think." The man in white added.

"Li You?" The man in yellow looked disdainful. "He has been in Shengtang County for more than two years, and he has not seen any difference from other officials, so you don't need to be pretentious."

"I hope so." The man in white looked into the distance. "If you don't want to go back, then I'll have to go back. If the queen loses her temper, it is not something you and I can bear. ”

"I know." The man in yellow whispered. "Thank you."

"For a period of time in the future, you can only rely on yourself, and everything must be careful!"

"Hmm." The man in yellow nodded.

………

Shengtang County County Hall.

The officials stood on both sides, all standing solemnly, and no one even dared to pant loudly.

In the center of the lobby, Wang Miao and Ouyang Jian stood side by side. Wang Miao lowered his head with a look of shame, and although Ouyang Jian looked calm, he obviously had an annoyed look on his face.

Wang Miao had a corpse on his right, a man tied to his left, and a woman huddled up. The corpse's neck was covered with blood, the curled up woman's eyes were glazed, and the hand was bloody, although the bound man showed a nonchalant expression, he would peek at the curled up woman every few seconds, his eyes were full of concern.

Ouyang Jian also had a corpse beside him. The corpse's legs were covered with aquatic plants, its body was swollen, its skin was pale, and its face was hideous.

Li You stood behind the bookcase, looked at everything in his eyes, and without the two of them replying, he already understood everything that had happened, and couldn't help but show an expression of crying and laughing.

Not bad! You don't have to bother arresting yourself, Zhao Wu's tomb robbery gang is gathered today.

Zhao Wu's encounter for more than a month and the bizarre death method of being enclosed in a water tank have already made Li You sure that the murderer's motive is revenge. However, Li You was still not sure why the murderer took revenge on Zhao Wu, after all, Zhao Wu still had the identity of a servant. Because the salary of the official is very low, if there is a shortage of knaka, he will naturally deliberately make things difficult, tease, and even oppress the people, and it is easy to grudge with others.

However, after Zhao Wu's death, Feng Guang also became the target of the murderer, which made Li You rule out the possibility of retaliation due to the identity of the servant, so there was only one reason left - tomb robbery!

Zhao Wu's death was like being enclosed in a coffin, coupled with Feng Guang's disappearance, Li You was sure that it must be Zhao Wu's gang who robbed the tomb, and the family of the stolen person hated what Zhao Wu and his gang had done, so they would try their best to retaliate.

The case has progressed here, and the importance of Zhao Liang has been highlighted. Because Zhao Wu and his gang have robbed someone's tomb, they themselves know best, and with the clues provided by edamame, it is not difficult to find the murderer among the tomb robbers.

Now that Feng Liang is dead, the most direct method to circle the scope of the murderer cannot be implemented. Although Wu Evil was caught, Li You was still uncertain whether Wu Evil participated in tomb robbery and what role he played in this gang. For now, the only way to do this is to pry open Wu Xi's mouth first, and then decide how to move next.

However, how can this Wu evil be so easy to explain.

Li You looked at Liu Niang, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and immediately took it to heart. "Miao'er, how did Feng Liang die?" Li You looked at Wang Miao first.

"Hey, it's all my fault for being careless!" Wang Miao sighed and told everything that had happened.

Ouyang Jian listened, his brows furrowed, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Wang Miao. "A cat and a fox? Seriously? Wang Miao was already ashamed, but now that he was questioned by Ouyang Jian like this, he became angry and looked at Ouyang Jian angrily. Do you suspect that I am lying? ”

Ouyang Jian didn't pay attention to Wang Miao, but lowered his head and fell into deep thought. A moment later, Ouyang Jian clasped his fists and saluted Li You. "Important! Leave! After Ouyang Jian finished speaking, he flashed out of the lobby in an instant. Wang Miao's purpose of deliberately finding fault was not realized, and the fire was nested in his heart, and he screamed angrily.

Li You couldn't help but shake his head when he saw Wang Miao's reaction. Since this Wang Miao was possessed by the hedgehog beast, his temper has become more and more irritable, not at all like the original cowardly and docile little scholar. "Miao'er, the matter has come to this, you don't need to be upset, although Feng Liang is dead now, you have caught Wu Xie, and you are not without merit."

"Really?" Wang Miao's face was happy, and the angry appearance just now was gone. After all, he is still a child, and his emotions just now should be that of a pig beast, not Wang Miao's nature.

"Hmm." After Li You finished speaking, he looked at Wu Xi. "Wu Xi, are you guilty?"

"Humph!" Wu Wei squinted at the sky with a disdainful expression.

"I don't know, this official has no time to interrogate you for the time being." After Li You finished speaking, he looked at Liu Niang with a cold face. "Liu Niang, you are guilty!"

"Ahh Liu Niang, who was still in a trance, immediately showed a panicked look after hearing Li You's scolding. "Master, the people's daughters are wronged, the people's daughters are wronged." Liu Niang hurriedly buckled her head to Li You.

"Wronged? Hum! Li You looked annoyed. You killed Feng Liang, and now that the human and material evidence is there, you still dare to shout injustice to this official? Liu Zhong! ”

"In!" Liu Zhong heard Li You's call and hurriedly came to the center of the lobby.

"Take her down to me and serve her well!" Li You said as he winked at Liu Zhong. After Liu Zhong heard Li You's order, he was stunned at first, because he didn't understand what it meant to serve well, but after seeing Li You's eyes, he finally understood what Li You meant.

"Yes!" After Liu Zhong finished speaking, he turned to Liu Xiao and Liu Yi. "You two, drag this woman down for me, and I'll personally punish you!" After Liu Zhong finished speaking, he turned his head and walked towards the torture room.

"Yes!" When Liu Xiao and Liu Yi heard this, they immediately walked to Liu Niang's side and dragged Liu Niang to the torture room.

"Don't! No! Liu Niang looked at Wu Xie in horror. Evil, save me! Save me! ”

Wu Evil saw that Liu Niang was dragged away by the two, and immediately turned around and pounced, but because his hands and feet were tied, Wu Evil could only rub his face against the floor, squirm his body, and desperately approach Liu Niang. "Don't touch her, you have the ability to rush at me! Come at me! Wu yelled hysterically. You dog officials, if you dare to touch her finger, I will kill you! Kill you! ”

However, Wu Xi's struggle was only in vain, and he could only watch Liu Niang being dragged into the torture room.

"Ahh Yes! A moment later, Liu Niang's painful wail came from the torture room. Wu Xie's originally ugly face had been distorted to the extreme, and I saw him trying to raise his head and stare at Li You through gritted teeth. "You dog officer! Dog officer! I'll kill you! Kill you! ”

"Bold!" Li You slapped the shocking wood violently. "Drag him down to the official, and the official will interrogate him personally!"

………

Li You sat behind the bookcase and looked at Wu Xie who was tied to the tiger chair with a calm face. Wu Xi's eyes widened, his lips were chapped, and he was staring at Li You with fierce eyes.

"Wu Xie, now that Liu Niang has killed someone, there is human and material evidence, even if you want to die for her, the law does not allow it." When Li You said this, he looked at Wu Wei meaningfully. "Unless, you can assist the official and find out the culprit behind it!"

Wu Wei heard the first half of Li You's sentence, and wanted to continue to scold, but after listening to the second half of the sentence, he immediately showed a look of surprise.

"Liu Niang and Feng Liang have no grievances, but in front of you and Wang Miao, they stabbed Feng Liang to death with their own hands, don't you think it's strange?" Li You continued to guide Wu Xi.

"What do you mean?" Wu Xie was finally attracted by Li You's words.

"If the official's expectation is good, Liu Niang must have been controlled by demons."

"Demons? Ha ha. Wu Evil looked sarcastic.

"Have you forgotten Wang Miao?" Li You looked at Wu Evil, which made Wu Evil's smile freeze instantly. "Wang Miao? Could it be the monster? Wu Xie's mind immediately appeared with bare fangs, long claws on his hands and feet, and a figure flying up to the roof in the blink of an eye.

"Not bad!" Li You nodded. "This official might as well tell me bluntly, Zhao Wu and Feng Guang have already died in the hands of this demon!" Li You said this, staring at Wu's evil face tightly. Wu Xie heard this, with a complicated expression on his face, not only was he a little surprised, but he also had a trace of pain, but he immediately covered it up.

"What does this have to do with me!"

"Do you think the official doesn't know about your tomb robbery?" Li You suddenly raised his voice, which surprised Wu Wei.

"Now that your tomb robbery has been revealed, and this demon has been instructed by others to murder you one by one, do you continue to be obsessed?"

"I..." Wu Xie was stunned by Li You's words, and he didn't know how to refute it for a long time.

"Besides, now that Liu Niang is guilty of death, only by finding out the truth can she be innocent, you are a negative man, don't you want to save her?"

Draw from the bottom of the kettle! Li You grasped Wu Xi's most fatal weakness.

"My lord, I..." Wu Evil's eyes showed a trace of weakness. This made Li You's hanging heart finally let go.

"Say it. Now, only this official can help you save her! ”

"My lord, I say!" Wu Xie lowered his head.
