The big dog in the yard spun around restlessly, the chains being pulled tightly, and it stared at the uninvited guest.

Li Mi looked at Liu Sanxi with very pleading eyes, Liu Sanxi hesitated for a moment, nodded lightly, moved his body quietly to cover the man's sight, and said, "What are you busy with at night, I'm asleep." ”

Li Mi quietly bowed down and touched Liu Sanxi's house, and entered the house while no one was paying attention.

The interrogating man said impatiently: "Don't be verbose, what about the three outsiders in your family, are they in the room?" ”

Liu Sanxi nodded: "Yes." ”

The man said, "I'll go in and have a look." ”

Liu Sanxi stopped him: "Hey, they're all asleep, isn't it good to enter the house?" ”

With a slap, the man slapped Liu Sanxi in the face and scolded: "Dead old man, what the hell are you talking about, get out!" ”

The big dog in the yard barked wildly, but no one would pay attention to it.

The man pushed Liu Sanxi away and went straight into the house.

In the next second, a thunderclap sounded, and Li Mi's door was kicked open.

In the room, Li Mi, Cao Shaocheng and Shen Luo rubbed their eyes, got up as if they had just woken up, and asked, "How many ...... What's the matter? ”

Seeing this, the man scratched his head in embarrassment, then clenched his fists and said that he was disturbed, and hurriedly closed the door and left.

In the room, the three guys who had just met looked at each other and burst out laughing.

"Tell me, which of you two poked out the basket and alarmed the dogs in the village?" Cao Shaocheng asked.

Li Mi raised his hand honestly, "I." ”

Cao Shaocheng asked, "What is the situation, the village is so aggressive in searching for people?" ”

"I found something unusual in the mountains behind Quliu Village." "I suspect that the village chief and some of the villagers are doing something shady and that the villagers' affluent life must have something to do with it." ”

Shen Luo asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I only found a few wooden crates, which were supposed to be for the sale of some kind of goods, and they were very profitable. In addition, behind the village chief, there is also an owner, who has a power to be reckoned with, and it seems that he can influence the government and cover up the affairs of Quliu Village. ”

Shen Luo nodded, "If that's the case, the owner should be the official of Wushan County or Yizhou Mansion, or even the entire Jiangdu Dao, and the Six Doors will investigate." If Cui Chu disappeared here, he would have nothing to do with them, after all, a human life was nothing to this gang of bandits. ”

Cao Shaocheng said: "Then they are in big trouble, Cui Shangshu must not personally lead the troops into the mountains to suppress the bandits, and turn Quliu Village to the bottom." ”

Li Mi shrugged her shoulders, "This is not something we can worry about. Shen Zhutou, did you find it at the old Taoist's house? ”

"No one came back all night, and I didn't find any villagers behaving strangely around, it seems that your speculation is not very successful, and the other party has given up the secret of the old Taoist priest."

Saying that, she cheered Li Mi and said: "Then it can only depend on you, if you can read the words left by the old Taoist, we may be able to solve the clues of the case." How's that, got a clue? ”

Li Mi frowned, "I won't be able to think of it for a while, let's take a step and look at it, maybe one day inspiration will appear, and I will find that this is a very simple puzzle." ”

Shen Luo tugged at the corners of his mouth, and was actually pleased with the wall of this smart man of the Great Zhao Dynasty in front of him.

Maybe it's because he, the famous arrester of the six doors, has never made any achievements in the Cui Chu case, and he has been solved by a small catcher in Wushan County from beginning to end, so he has found a little balance.

Li Mi looked at Cao Shaocheng, "What did you find over there tonight?" ”

Cao Shaocheng was a little embarrassed, he scratched his head, and said cautiously: "I had a fight with a dog tonight." ”

Li Mi and Shen Luo's faces stiffened.

Cao Shaocheng hurriedly explained: "It was I who met a masked stranger in the Feng family, and I chased him and fought with him for a few rounds, but the stranger was like a loach and couldn't catch it." When I chased me out of Feng's house, I was inexplicably attacked by more than a dozen wild dogs, all of whom were fat and strong, like little donkeys, and pestered me for a long time. ”

"Did you run into a weirdo? I bumped into him in the Feng family ancestral hall, but after a few quick glances, the guy disappeared out of thin air. Li Mi said.

"His martial arts are good, at least on par with me, and the body method he uses is a kind of kung fu that has long been lost in the rivers and lakes, originating from southern Xinjiang. He appeared in front of you, but he didn't hurt you, and he didn't know what his purpose was. ”

Li Mi was also puzzled by this question, he didn't know whether the masked monster was good or bad, he quietly appeared on the chair of the ancestral hall, and it was easy to get rid of his uninvited guests outside the village.

But the masked freak didn't, so he wasn't in the same league as the village chief and the others?

Li Mi couldn't figure it out, and he didn't plan to think about it.

At this time, Liu Sanxi knocked on the door and came in, he put the tea on the table, then sat in the corner, took out a cigarette gun and stuffed tea inside.

The room was quiet for a long time, Li Mi broke the peace first, and he sincerely thanked: "Thank you for breaking the siege just now, otherwise we will be in big trouble." ”

Liu Sanxi wiped the iron pot of the cigarette gun and said casually: "I'm not helping you, I'm helping myself, who let me stay with you." If something really happens, I can't eat and walk around, and more is better than less. ”

Then, he knocked the soot on the ground, "The village chief of Quliu Village, Wang Dachun, is not a good master. Although I don't know why you went to Quliu Village, and what secrets you discovered about Wang Dachun, you'd better be careful, otherwise you won't even know how you'll die at that time. ”

Li Mi rubbed his face lightly and said with a smile: "Listening to your tone, it seems that you know a little bit of Wang Dachun's secret, what ulterior secrets is he hiding?" ”

Liu Sanxi didn't speak, he stroked the cigarette pouch silently, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh, "The people in Quliu Village are not stupid, we can more or less guess that Wang Dachun must be doing something hurtful, so there is so much silver to feed everyone every month." ”

"Feed everyone?"

Liu Sanxi nodded, "About ten years ago, with the decline of the Feng family, Quliu Village also ushered in a drought that had not been encountered in a century, and the crops in the field died one after another, and there were dry and cracked soil clods everywhere, and there were no living things at all. ”

"Those days were so bitter, the people in the village starved to death, and those who couldn't die of hunger went out to cut the bark of trees and cut vegetable roots in the fields, and now looking back, I am still afraid. Not being able to eat is much more painful than being haunted. ”

It was also at that time that Wang Dachun, the village head, didn't know what nobles he had met, and suddenly made a windfall. One day, the villagers were gathered and said that in the future, the village would feed everyone, and everyone would no longer be busy planting and gnawing tree bark. There is only one condition, that is, the people in the village are not allowed to move out of the village casually, they must always live in the village, and they should not get involved in Wang Dachun's business, just eat, drink and enjoy themselves. ”

The people in the village then guessed that Wang Dachun had done something shady and unseemly. Although their conscience can't get by, everyone is afraid of poverty, and they dare not give up this hard-won rich life, so they simply turn a blind eye together. More than ten years have passed, and nothing has ever happened to Quliu Village, and Wang Dachun has always kept his promise, sending vegetables, meat, and money to the people in the village every month, and giving whatever he wants. ”

After listening to Liu Sanxi's speech, Li Mi said: "After so many years, you never know what Wang Dachun is doing? ”

Liu Sanxi shook his head, "He never lets strangers get involved in his business, and the people he selects are also selected from the village, and the young people who are only obedient to him are selected, so that these young village descendants can work for him." ”

Li Mi thought for a moment in his heart, took all the clues together, and asked, "Is Wang Dachun closely related to the Feng family?" Twenty years ago, when the tragedy of the closure of the family and the destruction of the family happened, he was in his early thirties, what was he doing at that time? ”

Liu Sanxi recalled for a moment and replied: "Wang Dachun was not born and raised in Quliu Village, at that time he was just a wandering Langzhong from other places, because of family changes, his wife and children all died unexpectedly, leaving him alone. ”

"Wang Dachun used to be Langzhong?" Li Mi captured this key information and said very vigilantly, "Does anyone in the village know his identity before he came to Quliu Village?" ”

Liu Sanxi shook his head, "Everyone doesn't know this, as soon as people come, they seem to be like thieves." However, everyone has heard that Wang Dachunzu has been a royal doctor with superb medical skills, and later because of a mistake in the palace, he sat together, and the whole family was distributed. Wang Dachun's wife also had an accident at that time, died in childbirth, and his child was drowned in a water tank as soon as he was born. ”

"In this way, Wang Dachun is also a hard-working person." Li Mi hummed.

Later, he heard that Wang Dachun was rehabilitated by the imperial court Zhaoxue, but he was disheartened, so he came to the small village of Wushan County alone to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. He inherited the medical skills of his ancestors, although it is not a wonderful rejuvenation, but some minor illnesses can be cured. ”

Liu Sanxi said: "Wang Dachun is the only Langzhong in Quliu Village, with excellent medical skills, and often goes to the mountains to collect medicine for the people in the village, so he has a high prestige in the village, which is why everyone later elected him as the village head." ”

Li Mi nodded, thought for a while, and felt more and more that this Wang Dachun was not simple, and he still had some doubts that had not been answered.

"In the village, large and small incurable diseases, fetal delivery drugs, and burial of dead people, is Wang Dachun the only one who is responsible for it?"

Liu Sanxi nodded.

Li Mi focused on reasoning about Wang Dachun as the first culprit in a series of suspected cases in Quliu Village, but after reasoning in his mind, he found that although this person was very suspicious, some places were still not enough to support the reason for Wang Dachun's crime.

For example, when something happened to the 57 members of the Feng family, according to Liu Sanxi's description, Wang Dachun was still a down-and-out Langzhong at that time, and he didn't know the Feng family, could he inexplicably poison and kill the 57 members of the Feng family?

Although Wang Dachun's family has suffered a catastrophe, he may have a distorted psychology of revenge against society, and Lang Zhong, who is the most proficient in medicine in the village, also has enough opportunities to poison him, everything makes sense.

But what is the motivation?
