Li You ordered everyone to tie up the man, and ordered Liu Zhong and Wang Miao to stay by his side to ensure the man's safety. After that, he led Zhao Wu, Sun Lei and others to start searching the house.

There are only three main rooms in the house. In the corner of the yard, there was a large pile of tattered clay pots. Li You stood in front of these crockpots and carefully rummaged through them for a while, but he really didn't find any valuable clues. So, he walked into the house.

There were tables, chairs and benches in the room, and several pieces of porcelain were stacked under the tables. Li You took it out and checked it, and found that although they were all things from the official kiln, they were all small objects, which were not worth a few dollars, and somehow, the interior was all dirty. Maybe Yao Buwei gave it to the old man who watched the house before, and used it as a daily play. Li You secretly speculated.

After that, Li You checked the two bedrooms again, and found nothing of value except for a few sharp knives. So, Li You walked out of the room and came to the man. "What's your name?"

"Humph!" The man turned his face away and ignored Li You's questioning. "When you get to the prison, you can't stop talking." Li You knew from looking at the man's face that this was definitely a hard bone, and this was not the place to ask questions. So, Li You instructed Liu Zhong and Wang Miao to take a few servants to escort the man back to the prison, and repeatedly instructed him to be optimistic. The two of them were commanded to go.

Li You led the others out of the house, closed the door, locked it, and sealed it. After that, he went straight to the mother-in-law's house.

After all, this princess is the godmother of this man. There are some things that are much easier to ask the princess than to ask this hard bone.

………

Shengtang County Torture Room.

Wang Po was stunned by what she saw.

In the blazing copper furnace, four or five red-hot soldering irons were inserted, and on the table beside him were large sticks, leather whips, clamping sticks, bamboo sticks, and other torture instruments, and shackles and wooden flails hung on the surrounding walls. The two servants, one with a leather whip and the other with a sharp knife, were looking at her with a wicked smile. Li You sat behind the bookcase, his face full of anger.

"Spare me, spare me, woo..." Wang Po immediately knelt on the ground, crying and crawling towards Li You. Li You signaled to the two officials, and the two officials rushed forward, dragged the princess to the tiger chair, and tied her up after three strokes and two strokes. "Oh, my lord spares his life, spares his life, woo woo woo woo ..."Wang Po cried and wailed as she struggled.

Bang! Li You made a shocking sound, and glared angrily at Wang Po. "Bold woman, you are guilty!"

"Master, I'm guilty, guilty, woo... Spare me, spare me. Wang Po was already frightened, and looked at Li You with a frightened face.

"Then recruit it truthfully! If there is half a lie, this official will let you taste the taste of this soldering iron first. Li You said as he glanced at the officials. The official immediately understood, stretched out his hand and took out the soldering iron in the copper furnace and held it up in front of the princess. The soldering iron, which was burned red, shone dazzlingly in front of the princess, and roasted the princess's cheeks painfully. "Oh, master, I'll move, I'll move, woo..."

"Then let's talk about it." Li You didn't ask any questions, just squinted his eyes and looked at Wang Po coldly. Wang Po trembled all over, and hurriedly confessed.

The man who lived in the house was named Wu Evil, and he was originally a gangster on the street. In the winter of five years ago, Wu Xie was beaten and thrown on the street, and he was about to freeze to death. After Wu was injured, he recognized Wang Po as his godmother. After that, I don't know what the reason is, this Wu evil suddenly had a lot of money, and he sent silver to Wang Po every once in a while, and Wang Po asked him where the money came from, but he was hesitant and refused to tell the truth.

Five days ago, when Wang Po was busy at home, Wu Wei suddenly broke in in a panic, and when they met, she told Wang Po that if the county order asked who was familiar with Liu Niang, she could talk nonsense with him, but she must not confess herself, and tell Wang Po where she was hiding, and let her send him food once every half a month.

"Master, what the women say is the truth, it's the truth." After Wang Po finished speaking, she looked at Li You pitifully, with a pleading look in her eyes. After listening to it, Li You felt that what Wang Po said was basically the same as what he predicted. Moreover, in this process, Wang Po also suffered a lot, and did herself a great favor, so she couldn't bear to punish again. After all, this is an old man in his fifties.

"Okay, I'll believe you again." Hearing this, Wang Po couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but Li You suddenly raised her voice. "However, if the official finds out that you are still concealing, and you will be punished for several crimes, the official will definitely ask for your head!" As soon as these words came out, Wang Po was stunned at first, and then cried again. "I've said it all, sir, I've really said it all, woo... Don't kill me, don't kill me. ”

Li You motioned for the officials to escort Wang Po back to the prison, while he sat at the table, repeatedly deliberating about the next interrogation.

This interrogation is the most critical one!

………

Li You sat at the table and looked at Wu Xie, who was tied to the tiger chair and covered in blood. Before interrogating Wang Po, Li You instructed Liu Zhong to make this hard bone suffer some hardships first.

Around Wu Xi, in addition to the two officials holding torture instruments, there were also Li Zhong, Zhao Wu, Sun Lei, Liu Xiao, Liu Yi, etc., a total of ten officials.

These are the ten people that Li You finally screened out after careful thinking, which means that in Li You's opinion, the inner ghost is very likely to be among these ten people.

"Wu Xie, you don't have to carry it anymore, he has already been found out by the official." After Li You said this, he immediately stared at Wu Xie's face, trying to capture his every expression.

After hearing this, Wu Xie still lowered his face, and he didn't react much at all, but the eyebrows in his right eye were slightly raised, and Li You couldn't help but show a smile. Disdainful? Haha, it seems that this inner ghost is indeed among these ten people. It's only a slight narrowing, but it's better than nothing at all.

"What? Still won't say? It's a tough nut. Li You understands that unless this inner ghost is dug out, it is impossible for Wu Xi, who has a glimmer of life, to explain.

So how can you find out this inner ghost?

Just when Li You frowned, thinking about how to arrange another game, suddenly, a servant hurriedly ran in.

"Sir, outside, outside..." Li You furrowed his eyebrows and looked at the official with an annoyed expression. "This official is interrogating the criminal, you dare to interrupt at this time, do you know what crime to be guilty of!"

"Master, there is really no way for my subordinates." The official looked helpless. "There is an old man outside, who says that he is the cousin of the old lady, and he wants to sue you, sue you..." What is the lawsuit against the Officer? "Sue the lord for the crime of unfilial piety!" "What!" When Li You heard this, he immediately stood up and walked quickly towards the lobby.

Unfilial piety is the greatest crime of the ten evils, Tian Xiao, as his mother's mother's family, if he really wants to file a complaint, if the crime is true, Li You, the official, don't think about doing it again.

………

"Uncle Tian!" Li You came to the lobby, looked at Tian Xiao with an angry face, and hurriedly saluted the old man.

"County master, you are really a dutiful son." Tian Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, and his words were thorny. "Uncle Tian, why did you say that." Li You still didn't understand what Tian Xiao meant. In order to solve the case of his mother's murder, he exhausted all the organs, and often couldn't sleep at night, and now Tian Xiao wants to sue him for unfilial piety. This made Li You not only unclear, but also full of grievances.

"I ask you, what day is it?" Tian Xiao did not answer Li You's question, but questioned Li You again. What day is it? Li You thought about it, but still didn't understand what Tian Xiao meant. "Little nephew doesn't know." Li You had no choice but to lower his posture and ask Tian Xiao for advice.

"Hey, you unfilial son." Tian Xiao sighed. "If it weren't for the old sister, the old man would definitely be as high as the assassin and remiss your official position!" "Uncle Tian, don't be angry, the little nephew is stupid, please give me advice." Li You hurriedly bowed his head again and saluted.

"Li You, Li You, your mother died because of you, after you came back, you only kept a vigil for her for one day, and then you didn't return home every day, you said you, can you be regarded as a filial son?" Tian Xiao said a few words, and Li You was speechless. Ay! Because he knew that this was an illusion, in his heart, Li You never really took his mother's death to heart, so he devoted himself to solving the case. Now, Tian Xiao's words made Li Youwan wake up and realize that he had ignored the feelings of others.

Truly! In the past five days, I have been living in the county office, and I have not gone back to put a stick of incense on my mother, let alone the matter of keeping a spirit. If Tian Xiao sued the government (the Tang Dynasty administrative division was divided into the fourth level of the prefecture and county), he did not guard the soul of his deceased mother, and the evidence of the crime of unfilial piety was conclusive, and he would definitely be dismissed from the government and punished.

"Uncle Tian, the little nephew suspects that his mother was killed, so he is bent on solving this case..." Chun Tao told me. Ay! Tian Xiao sighed, and his eyes turned red. But, tomorrow is your mother's first seventh, it's time to be buried, no matter how much you want to solve the case, you can't help but let me, an old sister, be buried in peace. ”

I see! Li You finally understood Tian Xiao's intentions. Before I knew it, it was my mother's first seven. Ay! I can only bury my mother and then interrogate this Wu evil.

Although I was unwilling, I had no choice. So, Li You first appeased Tian Xiao to go home and wait, and he immediately returned to the torture room and explained to Liu Zhong, Zhao Wu, Sun Lei and others that they must guard Wu Xie day and night, and there must be no mistakes. After that, Li You took Wang Miao and hurried to the mansion.

After returning home, Li You apologized to Tian Xiao again, and with Tian Xiao's help, he began to prepare for tomorrow's funeral. Although Li You's mind was all on Wu Xie, because he was forced by reason, he had to do his best and be obedient to Tian Xiao.

Early the next morning, just as Li You was about to invite his mother's body into the coffin, Liu Zhong ran in in a panic. After Li You saw Liu Zhong, he suddenly felt bad.

"Liu Zhong, what's going on!" Li You's face was full of anger, and he glared at Liu Zhong viciously, Liu Zhong was so frightened that he was stunned in place, but he had to kneel on the ground and answer hard.

"My lord, Wu hates him, he is dead!"
