"Master, Wu Evil, dead!" Liu Zhong knelt on the ground, his face frightened.

"How did you die, tell the truth to the official!" At this time, Li You became more and more calm. Wu Xie is dead, and the most important clue is broken, but this does not mean that this case cannot be solved. Thinking of the situation when he was investigating the ghost cannibalism case, Li You found that he had significantly improved both mentally and in ability. Especially when interrogating Wu Xi, Wu Xi's slight expression change could not escape his eyes.

After going through this heavy ordeal, did you get some kind of breakthrough?

"Yes, it was poisoned." Liu Zhong trembled, lowered his head, and did not dare to look at Li You. "Tell me, what was the situation?" At this time, Li You didn't have the heart to reprimand Liu Zhong, he was concerned about the case.

"Hey, sir, the brothers are really not lazy." Liu Zhong sighed. "After you left, we followed your instructions, still tied Wu Xie to the tiger chair and took turns guarding him." After Liu Zhong finished speaking, he looked up at Li You, his face full of confusion and grievances. "It seems like it's the middle of the night, I'm in a daze, and suddenly I smell a strong fragrance, and then, then..."

"And then unconscious?" When Li You heard this, he immediately understood the means of this inner ghost. This inner ghost must have taken advantage of everyone's drowsiness, throwing the incense into the copper furnace, and fascinated Wu Xie and several other officials, he either held his breath or covered his mouth and nose with a wet cloth. After that, he poured the prepared poison into Wu Xi's mouth, took a deep breath, and fainted with the others.

What a clever trick. However, do you think that if Wu Xie is dead, I won't be able to solve this case? Although Wu Xie died, his death confirmed many of Li You's speculations.

First of all, Li You affirmed that Wu Xie was an accomplice of the inner ghost. If he wasn't an accomplice, there was no need for him to kill Wu Xie in the torture room and in front of other officials.

Secondly, since Wu Evil and the inner ghost are accomplices, everything Wu Evil has done is equivalent to what this inner ghost has done. Five years ago, Wu Xie suddenly became rich, indicating that at this time, his cooperation with the inner ghost began. Moreover, the purpose of the cooperation between the two is to make money. In other words, the purpose of the inner ghost trying to kill his mother is for money!

In the end, everything in the house in the south of the city is connected with the inner ghost. If the case of ghost eating people was committed by Wu Xi, since the two began to cooperate five years ago, then the inner ghost must also be involved in that case. Killing the old man, and painstakingly arranging the illusion of a ghost eating people, is it just to occupy such a mansion? Li You couldn't help but think of all the things in the house. No, definitely not just for this!

Just as Li You closed his eyes and pondered, Tian Xiao walked in from outside the door. "Master, although there has been another murder, the time has come, and we should go." "Oh, I see." Li You was still immersed in thinking, and just coped with Tian Xiao's reply. "Master, it will take at least an hour to get from here to the cemetery in the south of the city..."

"Uncle Tian, what did you say?" Li You raised his head suddenly and looked at Tian Xiao with an excited expression. Tian Xiao was stunned by Li You's expression, and didn't know how to answer for a while, Li You hurriedly added. "Seongnam Cemetery?" "Well, the old slave has inquired, the cemetery in the south of the city is a treasure of feng shui, and the old man has been for a long time..."

"I see!" Li You suddenly brightened up and looked at Tian Xiao ecstatically. "Uncle Tian, thank you! Thank you! "Well, bury your mother here, and then bring your father's grave... Yes? Master, thank me..."Tian Xiao was still in his own logic, and it took him a long time to react, and then he looked at Li You with a confused expression. "Uncle Tian, thank you!" Li You hugged his fist and saluted Tian Xiao again, but Tian Xiao still didn't know why.

"Uncle Tian, let's go." "Oh, good." Tian Xiao turned around and walked out, and Li You turned to Liu Zhong. "Liu Zhong, you go back first, and then deal with it after the official buries his mother." "Yes!"

The county order funeral attracted a large number of people.

Li You was dressed in sackcloth, and cried all the way under the support of Tian Xiao and Wang Miao, and the people along the way saw it and praised the filial piety of the county lord.

After Li You buried his mother, he went straight to the lobby that night. The ten officials of that day naturally knew Li You's purpose, and stood obediently in the lobby one by one, waiting for Li You's punishment. Li You was naturally not polite, and personally supervised the officials, and each of them replayed the top ten boards.

After that, Li You locked himself in the study and asked Wang Miao to buy several large jars of wine, looking like he was giving up on himself. Li Tian was killed, Liu Niang was killed, Wu Xi was killed, and the case of three lives seemed to be no longer important to the county lord at this time.

"Sir, what's wrong?" Liu Zhong met Wang Miao, who was holding the wine jar, with a puzzled face. "What's wrong? I don't know! Wang Miao glared at Liu Zhong impatiently. The officials also seemed to be influenced by Li You, and they were all listless, and they no longer had the heart to handle the case.

………

The moon is dark and the wind is high, in the middle of the night, in the wilderness.

It should have been impossible for anyone to be there, but suddenly there was a sound of stabbing and crushing leaves. Faintly, there seemed to be three figures, hurrying through the woods and rushing forward.

Not far ahead, there are many tombstones, phosphorus fires, withered grass swaying, and under the blowing of the wind, there seem to be countless figures, floating in the air, wandering around.

The three men seemed completely unimpressed and continued to walk briskly. Could it be that the destination of these three people is this cemetery?

Sure enough. The three men walked into the graveyard and groped their way through it, as if looking for something.

"In what direction?" "It should be right in front, follow me." "I'm going to make a fortune again, I saw it with my own eyes that day, it's not so generous!"

The two of them, led by a small man, walked briskly towards the depths of the graveyard. A moment later, they came to a grave. The tomb looks like a new grave with soft soil and fresh willow branches.

When the three of them came to the grave, they immediately began to dig up.

At this moment, torches suddenly lit up around them, and more than a dozen people, either with lancets or lassoes, rushed up and pressed the three people to the ground. "Oops!" "Oops!" These dozen or so people all seemed to be resentful, and they were quite heavy on the three of them, and the three of them kept wailing in pain.

"Be lighter, don't hurt us, Zhao Ye!" At this time, Li You held a torch in his hand, walked in front of everyone, and proudly looked at the three people who were pressed to the ground.

………

Shengtang County County Ya.

Although it was late at night, the lobby was still brightly lit. The county commander Li You sat in front of the bookcase, looking at the three people kneeling in the hall with an excited face.

Pretending to be decadent during the day, and at night with a servant, he ambushed near the cemetery, waited for six days in a row, and finally caught the culprit. The resentment of the officials is understandable, and Li You's excitement at this time is also reasonable.

Bang! "Zhao Wu, you are such a big dog!" Li You shook the wood with an angry face. At this time, Zhao Wu's hands were tied behind his back, his head was lowered, his body trembled slightly, and after hearing Li You's scolding, he slowly raised his head and showed a smile. "Hehe, my lord is clever, I admire it. It's just that I don't know why adults suspect me? ”

"Liu Niang was killed, and the official had already expected the inner ghost, but I never knew who this inner ghost was." Li You said this, looking at the officials present. "In addition, this class of officials all have their own selfish intentions and their own little abacus, and it is even more difficult to find out about this inner ghost." Hearing this, Liu Zhong, Sun Lei and other officials all lowered their heads.

"Do you know what you're doing wrong?" Li You turned to Zhao Wu again. Zhao Wu frowned, thought carefully for a long time, and finally, shook his head at Li You. "I don't know!"

"You shouldn't have killed Wu Xi!" Li You said in one word.

"Why? If Wu Evil betrays me, won't I just be able to tie my hands and arrest me?" Zhao Wu was still unconvinced.

"Although Wu Xie is burdened with two lives, you have forgotten one thing!" Li You showed a mocking expression, which made Zhao Wu furious. "Forgot something!"

Li You was somewhat surprised by Zhao Wu's attitude, but he didn't care at this time. "Wu evil killing, this official does not have any evidence! There is no murder weapon, no eyewitnesses, and with Wu Xi's character, even if he exhausts the punishment, he will not confess. ”

Li You's words made Zhao Wu speechless. "That is, you deliberately...""Not bad!" Li You once again showed a mocking look. "This official is deliberately creating an opportunity for the inner ghost, to see if he is in the end, whether he will kill Wu Xie or not!"

"You! You! Zhao Wu's face began to distort, and his teeth were clucking, but Li You still didn't care. Above this hall, what can you endure me? So, Li You continued. "Killing Wu Evil shows that the inner ghost and Wu evil are a gang, and everything Wu evil has done, this inner ghost must also have a share. Thus, your motive for seeking wealth is exposed. ”

"As for how to lock you..."At this time, all the officials in the hall were confused, and Li You was also in high spirits, and deliberately paused for a while. In the case of ghost cannibalism, this official has always believed that you killed the old man not only to occupy the mansion, there must be a hidden secret behind it. After inspecting the site, the officer found that a large number of clay pots were piled up in the courtyard, and the inside of the pottery in the house was also covered with mud. Li You said this, and looked at Zhao Wu again. At that time, the magistrate concluded that these objects were funerary goods. Then it immediately became clear that you had killed the old man because he was guarding you, and you could not act calmly. At the same time, the official also began to think, who is in this group of officials who is related to the tomb? ”

Hearing this, all the officials in the hall showed expressions of sudden realization, and a few even looked at Zhao Wu through gritted teeth, eager to eat him. Usually, as long as someone dies in the county, Zhao Wu will be enthusiastic to help, and often even do not receive a penny. I thought he was warm-hearted, but I didn't expect that he had other plans. And a few angry officials must have also asked Zhao Wu for help, and this tomb naturally could not escape the fate of being stolen.

"The adults are clever, and the villains admire!" At this time, Zhao Wu became calm, which made Li You puzzled. Could it be that this Zhao Wu, what else is there to do? "However, in the end, let me be sure that you are the mastermind behind the murder of my mother, and the place where my mother is finally buried." Li You continued to explain while paying attention to Zhao Wu's changes. "However, I have always had a clue."

"Oh? Is there anything that adults don't understand? Zhao Wu grinned. You've always been cautious, and if you're just waiting for someone to die before robbing a tomb, you're probably never exposed. When Li You said this, he found that Zhao Wu's face began to darken, and he suddenly felt bad in his heart, so he reached out and held the ring ruler in his arms. This time, you went against the norm and took the initiative to plot to murder my mother, was it just for the sake of a rich funeral gift?"

"Well, hehe..."Zhao Wu showed a weird smile. No comment! After Zhao Wu finished speaking, he actually stood up from the ground. At this time, Zhao Wu's face was as black as ink, and he was staring at Li You with an evil expression. Li You hurriedly bit his finger and smeared the blood on the ring ruler, which immediately emitted a dazzling white light.

"Your Excellency, you are so resourceful!" Zhao Wu's voice had been out of shape, it sounded sharp and resentful, not at all like a human voice, Li You looked at Zhao Wu in panic, and didn't know what to do for a while.

Zhao Wusenran looked at Li You and slowly opened his mouth. It's just that Zhao Wu's mouth has opened to a degree that has exceeded the limit that a person should have, and Li You watched Zhao Wu's cheeks being torn, revealing his white teeth and bloody tongue. Immediately after, Zhao Wu took a deep breath and sprayed a large amount of black gas into the air. After a while, a swarthy figure appeared in the sky above Zhao Wu, and Zhao Wu fell to the ground and died violently.

"My lord, if I can have a resourcefulness like yours, then why don't I have to worry about getting ahead in front of the queen." After the black shadow finished speaking, it suddenly shrank into a ball, and then rushed towards Li You. Li You was shocked by what had just happened, and the officials in the hall were even more dumbfounded, and no one knew what to do.

Suddenly, the ring ruler in Li You's hand broke free from Li You's hand and flew quickly towards the oncoming black shadow.

Bang!

Yes!

There was a piercing wail in the air, and when Li You came back to his senses, the ring ruler was floating in the air, and the light was even brighter than before. Li You subconsciously stretched out his hand and wanted to take back the ring ruler, but the ring ruler flew back into Li You's hand as if it had spirituality.

Li You looked at the ring ruler in his hand and felt that this ring ruler seemed to have become longer.

Could it be that this ring ruler can still grow?
