Inside the palace.

There are rows of tiger chairs, and all of them are being tortured without exception.

"Ahhhhh......h

"Twenty!"

"Thirty-five!"

A heavy and thick board hits the buttocks, breaking through the limits of the human body with every hit, let alone dozens of hits.

Seeing that several of the tortured guards had been beaten to the point that they couldn't even cry out in pain.

The blurred piece of flesh and blood on their buttocks made Su Yuqing shudder even more.

"Stop! Stop! ”

She shouted, but no one paid any attention to her.

The guards ignored her orders, and the boards in their hands continued to beat.

Su Yuqing rushed forward and snatched the board from one of them.

Unexpectedly, the guard was so frightened that he immediately knelt down, "Please don't embarrass your subordinates, princess." ”

"Hurry up!"

Not only did these guards not listen to her, but they were also very afraid of Li Chengluo.

She was in a dilemma, so she had to drop the board in her hand and go to Li Chengluo to intercede.

Su Yuqing was about to go in when she heard Li Chengluo and Zhuang Lai talking.

"How many people died?"

"Hundreds of people, this is still the number reported by the brothers, if you search carefully, I am afraid that the number is far greater than now."

She rushed forward without hesitation, shouting, "Tell them to stop!" ”

Li Chengluo heard that it was Su Yuqing's voice, so he said to Zhuang Lai: "Go and get thirty military sticks yourself." ”

"Yes."

Zhuang Lai was about to retreat when he was stopped by Su Yuqing, "Don't go." ”

"I lied to him, just punish me, what's their business?"

Li Chengluo raised his eyes, only to see her hands hanging on Zhuang Lai's arms, and her mood was even worse, "Forty boards." ”

Zhuang Lai: "...... "I really thank you.

"Yes."

Zhuang Lai immediately shook off Su Yuqing's hand, as if he had gotten rid of some kind of bad luck, and if he didn't escape, there would be more than forty boards.

Zhuang Lai twisted his face and ran faster than anyone else.

"Hey! You're back! ”

Li Chengluo put down his pen and got up and walked towards her, "If they let you out, you will be punished, no matter what the reason." ”

Su Yuqing glanced at it and saw another one stunned outside.

She was so anxious that she shook Li Chengluo's arm, "You tell them to stop!" If you continue to fight like this, you will die. You also know that I have been studying magic for a few days, and they are all mortals, how can they stop me? ”

"That's what happens if you don't listen."

She froze.

Seeing that there were guards outside who were constantly beaten until she fainted, she didn't feel good in her heart, but she couldn't do anything about it, she could only watch, just watch.

Li Chengluo has always said that she can't watch them be killed.

They were beaten by her for no reason, and they were already badly injured and beaten.

In case she dies because of this incident, even if she succeeds in the catastrophe, she will not be able to forgive herself for the rest of her life.

She compromised.

"I was wrong, I will be obedient in the future, you let them go, please."

Li Chengluo glanced at her and shouted outside, "Stop!" ”

The guards stopped.

Everyone here respects and fears him, what kind of background can make all the guards obey.

The difference in height between the two is huge.

Li Chengluo half-bent down and pinched her face with a smile, "That's right." ”

Li Chengluo can be called a master of changing faces.

Just now, it was like eating people, but now it has the meaning of spoiling.

Su Yuqing was unhappy and moved her face away, "So you already knew that something had happened to the Murmur Pavilion, so you deliberately trapped me and didn't let me go out, right?" ”

Li Heng set fire to everyone in the Murmur Pavilion, which was already jaw-dropping.

Just now she heard the conversation between Li Chengluo and Zhuang Lai, and she knew that there was a lot of danger outside.

A lot of things aren't as simple as they seem.

She could more or less guess Li Chengluo's intentions.

Li Chengluo sent people to look at her, just to let her not wade into this troubled water.

Li Chengluo smiled, looking through her, "Do you think that your careful thoughts can hide from this king, Xiaoyu Half-Immortal." ”

Su Yuqing dodged in disgust.

It's just like a camera.

I know everything, but I pretend I don't know anything.

Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is his usual routine.

Since Li Chengluo's relationship network is so powerful, it is better to let Li Chengluo help than for her to silently look for Lan Lan alone.

It's always good to find Lan Lan early.

"Since you know everything, you must also know that I must find Lan Lan, if you want me to be obedient, you can help me find Lan Lan back, so that I can be obedient, right?"

Her big eyes have already written her little abacus on her face.

Li Chengluo deliberately pretended to be embarrassed, "Robbing people under the prince, I'm afraid it will be ......"

Su Yuqing saw her hesitate, for fear that he would not agree, so she hurriedly came up with an idea.

"Aren't you investigating how many people died in Qiaodu City? I'll help you check, and you don't need to send a single soldier. ”

Li Chengluo was overjoyed in his heart, and he was still calm on the surface, "I came to help this king sort out the information that night." ”

"Okay."

Su Yuqing agreed.

Nowadays, you can't do it without a helper.

She doesn't think she's stupid, but if it weren't for Li Chengluo's reminder, she would have fallen into Li Heng's trap a long time ago.

Now she and Li Chengluo are people in the same boat, and some things really need to help each other.

——

In the evening, Li Chengluo was in the study early to deal with state affairs.

Although Zhuang Lai was punished, he didn't dare to slack off.

He endured the sharp pain in his butt and sorted out all the information related to this incident.

It has even sorted out information on missing persons that may be relevant to this case.

Stacks and stacks of materials were placed neatly and orderly on the bookshelf next to Li Chengluo, which was convenient for the prince to take.

Li Chengluo lowered his head and wrote hard, and said without raising his head, "Put the information here for this king." ”

"Yes."

Zhuang Lai moved the information to Li Chengluo's desk little by little.

The prince doesn't like to put too many things on his desk, so the previous materials are placed on the bookshelf on the other side.

What's going on today, no matter how big the case was, I didn't see the prince so concerned about it before?

A stack of materials instantly filled the desk, giving only a small place for the prince.

The prince didn't say a word.

He can't care so much, so he quickly retreats after putting down the information, he really needs time to cultivate his ass.

Wait for Zhuang Lai to leave.

Li Chengluo moved the mat under his butt to the empty seat next to him.

After thinking about it again, Su Yuqing is thin, and it should be more comfortable to have more mats.

So he gave all the cushions under his buttocks to Su Yuqing.

He patted the mat well.

That should be soft enough.

was patting, Su Yuqing suddenly came in.

Li Chengluo quickly bounced up, pretending that he was just picking up something, and asked calmly, "Why did you come so late?" Don't want to save your friends anymore? ”

"The braised pork made by Xiaojun today is so delicious, I can't help but eat a few more bowls of rice."

Su Yuqing saw that there was a vacant seat next to Li Chengluo, so she sat on the cushion prepared by Li Chengluo as a matter of course.

Li Chengluo's heart was sweet, and he smiled secretly.

Su Yuqing picked up the information and began to look at it, but was taken away by Li Chengluo, "Sharpen the ink first." ”

She pouted, "Do you want me to do this kind of thing?" What about those maids of yours? ”

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and doing this little thing is a good eye, how can this king believe that you can find a clue?"

"Okay, okay, I'll just do it." Su Yuqing picked up the ink inkstone and began to grind it.

To be honest, Li Chengluo is really good.

In the past, when I was in the Taoist temple, I did everything by myself, and I didn't dislike big things.

Now that someone is waiting, you don't have to do it yourself, but you have developed the bad habit of being lazy.

That's really not good.

A desk is not big, and a large pile of materials occupies more than half of it.

She could only come to Li Chengluo's side to polish the ink.

The moment his arm touched, Li Chengluo didn't care, and still lowered his head and worked hard.

But she felt uncomfortable and slowly adjusted her body.

After a while, she relaxed and touched Li Chengluo's arm again, and although there was a piece of clothing, she could still detect the hard muscles in his arm.

Who knows, Li Chengluo suddenly raised his eyes to look at her, and then glanced at his arm, "Qingqing takes advantage of this king?" ”

"There is no !!"

Li Chengluo smiled slightly, took the brush and dipped it lightly in ink.

Su Yuqing was stunned.

What do you mean? This is to decide that you are taking advantage of him, right?

She can't put on the hat of a hooligan, "It's not that your table is so small that ants have to roll down when they climb up, how can a prince use such a small table, it's just too embarrassing!" ”

Li Chengluo didn't pick up her stubble at all.

"Qingqing doesn't have to be shy, husband and wife are one, and it's normal for you to have any thoughts about this king."

Fuck you normal!

What's that?

"I'll clean the table now, lest you say I have any ideas."

Su Yuqing got up and saw an empty bookshelf beside her, and she should be able to put the materials on the bookshelf first.

She shifted her place one by one.

There was a lot of information on it, and it didn't take long for me to get tired.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that Zhuang Lai is too inflexible, with this pile of information on the table, how can people still work?

No wonder he has a good martial arts body, and he can make great achievements, but he is a small guard by Li Chengluo's side.

She looked at the documents as she sorted them out.

Jodu has been missing a lot lately, all of them men, and all of them have their own occupations, tall and short, fat and thin.

There is no other clue other than the fact that they are all male.

Until several male corpses appeared on the banks of the river.

After comparison, it was determined that these dead men were the men who disappeared some time ago.

That's what connects these two things.

Suspiciously, the cause of death was not confirmed, but the calluses on the hands of the deceased were enough to indicate that they should have been soldiers when they died.

Su Yuqing asked the officials of the prefecture to help before, and learned that the number of mysterious deaths was more than 80,000.

If you want to find the person behind it, you must first find the rest of the corpses.

But the corpses were all over Qiaodu, and Su Yuqing couldn't find them all.

Su Yuqing moved the materials back and forth, and when she cleared all the tables, she was so tired that she was lying on the table.

"Trouble the prince to change to a bigger table in the future, I'm going to be tired to death."

Li Chengluo laughed and deliberately looked her up and down, "Bigger table...... Are you trying to do something? ”
