The lowest martial arts realm is the ninth grade, and after the exchange of blood, it is the ninth rank martial cultivation.

Li Yigang successfully quenched his skin, and there is still a very key link from the exchange of blood, that is, to enhance his qi and make his body full of qi and blood.

And if you want to train your qi and blood thickly, you can't do without taking tonic food, medicinal diet, and boiling your strength.

It's a water mill, and it's also a money-consuming process.

"There are many hunters in the outer cities, and if you want to increase your strength, you must eat more meat. In addition, it is also necessary to push stones and grind every day to boil up the body. ”

Wang He pointed to a man who was eating breakfast in the courtyard and said, "The poor eat the poor, and the rich eat the rich." The meat is cheap, the wild meat is expensive, if the poor only eat the soil, then don't practice martial arts, it's better to go home and farm as soon as possible..."

At this time, just after the end of the day, it was the time to eat, and some of the men in the courtyard went out to eat their stomachs, and some asked their families or servants to deliver food.

Li Yi looked around and found that in addition to meat, there were also various eggs, insects, and blood food similar to blood tofu.

Li Yi subconsciously popped up a word in his mind: form complements form.

After asking Wang He about the prices of various foods, Li Yi was a little silent.

A slightly cheaper venison costs more than 100 yuan a pound, and even if he only takes one pound a day, it is estimated that he will have to pay three taels of silver in a month.

If you eat it openly, I am afraid it will be doubled.

"Don't keep quiet, let me ask you, can you continue to practice?"

Faced with Wang He's inquiry, Li Yi spit out a word heavily:

"Practice!"

He just went to the door of Lord Yin to ask for food, and he also had to exchange blood!

In this world, immortal fate is not easy to find, what else can he cultivate if he doesn't practice martial arts?

"Then practice, the stones in this courtyard grind the stones, you pick a small one to warm up first." Wang He's eyelids lifted slightly, and he glanced at Li Yi's body bones.

"Master, the disciple still has to be an errand boy, and he can't stay here to practice all the time."

Hearing this, Wang He almost couldn't help but burst into foul language.

"If you don't practice, you change the blood of a fart!"

Seeing that Wang He was angry, Li Yi hurriedly explained: "It's not that the disciples don't practice, it's that there is no way to stay in the hall to practice. ”

"The disciple can tie a sandbag to his body, take two pieces of lead and iron, and patrol a few more streets every day when he is on an errand, and the effect will not be much worse than that in the hall."

Wang He's face palely palely when he heard this.

There were already sandbags of lead and iron in Chiyun Hall, Wang He looked at Li Yi, who took off his robe and began to tie sandbags, and reminded: "Don't tie it too hard, training is a water mill, and you can't rush it." ”

After tying up the sandbag and putting the errand clothes back on, Li Yi picked up two more pieces of lead and iron of moderate size and tried to check them.

This is the only way he can think of to achieve both work and practice.

With much heavier steps than usual, Li Yi left Chiyun Hall.

Before leaving, Wang He also gave him two packets of medicinal food needed for practice, and the silver was temporarily recorded in the account.

He promised Wang He that he would make up the money the next time he came to Chiyun Hall.

"Twenty taels of silver...... Li Yi's mood at this time seemed to be tied to a sandbag.

It's only been a few days, and I'm owing money again.

Out of Chiyun Hall, Li Yi patrolled the streets all the way, but found no troublemakers.

I miss the first day of Qiu Laosan.

...

After returning to Tongyue Restaurant and putting the medicinal food under the bed, Li Yi poured half a pot of tea before returning to the street to inspect it.

It is said to be a patrol, but in fact it is also a practice.

After walking two streets, Li Yi, whose forehead was covered with fine sweat, suddenly brightened up.

Not far away, two women were arguing.

There seems to be a tendency to fight.

Li Yi looked at the two of them directly, and the hand holding the Yanling knife tightened involuntarily, and his heart was about to move.

The two women became more and more arguing, and when they were about to push, a kind person advised: "Don't quarrel anymore, catch and watch over there!" ”

The two of them looked sideways when they heard the sound, and when they saw Li Yi in the distance, they instantly died down.

"Eventful!" Seeing that the two really stopped arguing, Li Yi couldn't help but glared at the persuader.

This glance is somewhat personal grudges.

Walking quickly, Li Yi said in a deep voice: "Why are you two arguing? ”

The woman selling vegetables waved her hand again and again: "No dispute, no dispute!" ”

Li Yi frowned and looked sideways at the other vendor.

The woman who sold the hairpin jewelry also kept her face peeled and refused to admit what had just happened.

"Ben Cha clearly saw the two of you scolding on the street, is it difficult or Ben Cha is wrong?"

Li Yi is much taller than the two women, and he is condescending at this time, but he is majestic and terrifying, and his momentum is compelling!

The two women were pressured to honestly explain what had happened.

Things are not complicated, the two women were just idle at first and had nothing to say a few words, and then they began to set up ancestral halls with each other, which evolved from personal quarrels to the point where their ancestors went into battle shirtless.

After preaching to the two women, Li Yi left satisfied.

[Occupation: Catching Fast]

[Progress: 54/100]

A fulfilling day begins with a street patrol.

......

Near noon, Li Yi came to the outside of a house in the west of the city.

Seeing the courtyard door open, Li Yi opened his mouth and asked, "Are you Meng Yuanzhou?" ”

Meng Yuanzhou was a little stunned for a moment when he saw that the other party was wearing a poor suit and a trapping knife at his waist.

"It's Meng Yuanzhou down there, I don't know what the poor master is doing?"

Li Yi walked into the small courtyard, looked around, and then said: "Two months ago, the young lady of the Wu family outside the city got married, you are a guest at the wedding banquet, yes or no?" ”

Meng Yuanzhou was silent for a moment and nodded.

"I heard that Liu Pingzhi, the new son-in-law of the Wu family, and you are close friends?"

Meng Yuanzhou looked at Li Yi and couldn't help asking, "Isn't this case already closed, why does the poor master still ask me this?" ”

"Case closed? Who told you the case was closed? ”

Li Yi sat on the stool, his brows slightly soothed.

I walked for a long time with sandbags, and I was really tired.

"Meng Yuanzhou, you are a friend of Liu Pingzhi, I don't think you want him to die in vain, right?"

A breeze blew through, blowing the tips of Meng Yuanzhou's hair.

He looked sideways at Li Yi, and finally spoke: "I don't know much, so I may not be able to help the poor master." ”

"You're not helping me, you're helping Liu Pingzhi." Li Yi corrected Meng Yuanzhou's words and said, "Don't have too much pressure, just tell me what you know." ”

In the quiet courtyard, Meng Yuanzhou began to recall what happened on the night of the wedding banquet.

After listening to Meng Yuanzhou's account of the incident, Li Yi suddenly asked: "You mean that you haven't seen Liu Pingzhi's specific appearance at all, but you just saw him jumping into the river in a wedding robe?" ”

Meng Yuanzhou nodded, his expression a little sad.

"It was already late that day, and he ran wildly from the Wu family's house to the river with his hair scattered, and I couldn't catch up, but I couldn't see his appearance clearly."

Li Yi continued to ask: "Who usually runs faster between you and Liu Pingzhi?" ”

How do I say that...... Meng Yuanzhou shook his head and said: "When he was young, he didn't run as fast as me, and I didn't pay attention to it when I was older." ”

"Okay, let me ask you again, what is the relationship between Liu Pingzhi and Miss Wu Family, do you have any thoughts of not wanting to get involved?"

Hearing this, Meng Yuanzhou's face was a little unpleasant.

"Brother Liu naturally admires Miss Wu very much, but it's a pity that the falling flowers are intentional and the flowing water is ruthless. That Miss Wu ......"

Meng Yuanzhou was silent.

"Keep talking!"

Meng Yuanzhou hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Miss Wu has a lot of dealings with the fourth son of the Fan family, I have persuaded Brother Liu to turn back more than once, but he always finds reasons to excuse Miss Wu Family, but now it's good, only the adulterous husband and lewd woman are left singing day and night, so happy!" ”

Li Yi groaned for a moment and asked the last question:

"Do you think Liu Pingzhi died by suicide, or did he die at the hands of others?"

Meng Yuanzhou hesitated for a moment and said, "If I hadn't seen Brother Liu jump into the river with my own eyes, I would never believe that he would kill himself!" ”

In Meng Yuanzhou's eyes, Liu Pingzhi, who is strict with his own green, can even laugh at the tryst between the son of the Fan family and the Miss Wu family day and night, how could he choose to commit suicide in the cave room that night because of other things?

It was the son of the Fan family who had sex in front of Liu Pingzhi in the cave room, and he didn't believe that Liu Pingzhi would collapse because of this.

His friend's personality is more or less different from ordinary people.

After asking about the personality traits of Liu Pingzhi and Miss Wu, Li Yi got up and planned to leave.

When he arrived at the door, Meng Yuanzhou couldn't help but ask, "Poor master, ...... this case?"

Li Yi didn't say much, but said: "If this case is solved, I will come and tell you." ”

Hearing this, Meng Yuanzhou arched his hand and said, "I will wait for the good news of the poor master in the future." ”

......

The inner hall of the yamen, the study.

After listening to Li Yi talk about the many doubts about the new son-in-law of the Wu family throwing himself into the river, Su Wenshan groaned and sighed: "This case is a little difficult to handle, if it is an ordinary person, it is okay to use torture to interrogate with these doubts, but the Fan family is ......."

Su Wenshan looked at Li Yi and said, "If you fight a snake, you have to kill it, and this case is the same, are you sure?" ”

Li Yi was silent.

Su Wenshan was not in a hurry, and quietly waited for Li Yi to reply.

After a while, Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My lord, there is a plan for his humble position, maybe he can solve this case without punishment." ”

In the corner of the study, the refreshing incense burns shorter and shorter, and the smoke curls above the incense burner.

“...... When the time comes, the adults can interrogate the son of the Fan family at the Yamen, and the lowly officials will go outside the city to search for incriminating evidence, so that the truth will surely surface. ”

After listening to Li Yi's strategy, Su Wenshan couldn't help but ask, "Have you ever been a catcher in the past?" ”

Li Yi blinked and said, "I haven't been a servant, but I usually like to study these things." Speaking of which, yesterday I also went to the torture room to borrow "Wei Lu" and "Notes on Prison Cases" ......"

Su Wenshan nodded and didn't ask any more.

"It's a good plan, but it needs to be done by someone who is born in person."

After pondering for a moment, Su Wenshan said: "After the son of the Fan family comes over, I will ask Xie Tieyin and Liao Xingshu to accompany you to the Wu family." ”

......

Yamen Court.

Not long after, Fan Heng, the fourth son of the Fan family, was taken to the court by the officials.

Li Yi, Xie Chan and Liao Yongzheng stood on one side, quietly watching Su Wenshan repeat his old skills.

The soap class water and fire stick took the lead, and the shocking wood followed.

Then, there was Su Wenshan's majesty like a judge breaking out of prison.

Below, although the fourth son of the Fan family was shocked, he did not fall into Su Wenshan's trap, but began to question Su Wenshan's ability to handle cases.

"It's not your turn to correct how this official decides the case!"

With a scolding, Su Wenshan continued to interrogate: "You said that you and Miss Wu met recently. Okay, the official asked you, the jade pendant on your waist was given by Miss Wu? ”

The young man in brocade glanced at the jade pendant on his waist and said, "The jade pendant is the peace jade that I wore when I was born, and it has nothing to do with Miss Wu. ”

"So, this jade pendant is something you often wear?"

The son of the Fan family did not deny it.

Su Wenshan suddenly had a bottom in his heart, and even said: "This jade pendant is related to the case, and this official borrowed half a day to help solve the case, do you have any objections?" ”

After that, regardless of whether the other party agreed or not, Su Wenshan directly asked the official to take away the jade pendant.

On the side case, Li Yi, who had already changed into his regular clothes, nodded at Su Wenshan, and then went out of the yamen with Xie Chan and Liao Yongzheng.

At the entrance of the yamen, a carriage had been waiting for a long time.

"Xun'an, I don't know how to act, when I get to the Wu family, it's all up to you."

In the creaking carriage, Li Yimo held the jade pendant in his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, Liao Xingshu only needs to be a witness at that time, and I will do the rest." ”

At the chariot, the official who drove the car wore a short riding coat, like a guard of a large family.

Out of the city, the carriage traveled all the way, and it didn't take long to come to the outside of a deep mansion.

Two miles away from the house, there is a large river whose water potential is not turbulent.

Jumping out of the carriage, Li Yi rubbed his face, and immediately turned into an anxious and urgent messenger.

Walking quickly to the gate, Li Yi kept banging on the gate of the Wu family as if urging his life.

At the same time, he shouted: "One hundred thousand urgent! Open the door! ”

A family member opened the door, but before he could ask, he was grabbed by Li Yi by the collar, "Hurry up and inform your young lady, just say that Fan Heng, the son of the Fan family, has something important to tell him, it is a matter of life and death, let her come out and meet me quickly!" ”

In the inner house, Miss Wu is picking up her makeup in front of the mirror.

Beside her, stood her biological mother, Mrs. Wu Family.

The maid combed the young lady's hair, and the mother and daughter talked and laughed, as if they were talking about happy things.

At this time, a family member hurriedly came to report.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu immediately urged: "Don't clean up, go and have a look!" ”

......

Not long after, outside the gate of Wu's house.

Miss Wu took her skirt and hurriedly came to Li Yi.

"Where is Fan Gongzi?"

Li Yi didn't respond, and asked directly: "Are you Miss Wu Family?" ”

"Exactly."

Li Yi said anxiously: "Sister-in-law, Brother Fan lost his words after drinking yesterday and said that he killed Liu Pingzhi, and the yamen will soon send someone to arrest him, and there are people arranged by Brother Fan in Changning County to pick him up, you can get into the carriage with me!" ”

As he spoke, Li Yi took out a jade pendant.

"This is a token given by Brother Fan, please don't delay your sister-in-law!"

Miss Wu's face changed color instantly when she heard this, and she exclaimed, "Where is Gongzi Fan?" ”

"Sister-in-law don't worry, Brother Fan is hiding in Ying'an Mansion, sister-in-law only needs to take refuge for a while, and when the autumn inspection passes, Brother Fan will naturally be able to calm down the matter."

Hearing this, Miss Wu no longer hesitated, turned around and rushed into the house.

"You wait first, I'll inform my mother!"

In the same place, Li Yi's face still maintained an anxious look, but his heart had already cooled down.
