At the moment when she slowed down, Li Mao only felt like a stranded fish finally entering the water, and he was able to breathe heavily in an instant.

"What is Lord Gu talking about, how can a villain have a crossbow machine?"

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly became fierce, and his wrist moved to reveal a small sleeve arrow, and with a movement of his fingers, three silver needles smeared with poison broke through the air and shot in the direction of Gu Shiwei.

Gu Shiwei raised his eyebrows, raised his sword lightly, and only heard three sounds, and the three poisonous needles were blocked and flew out, neatly piercing into the door frame.

At this moment, Li Mao's figure flashed out of the door, and he jumped up on the beam.

Seeing this, Gu Shiwei immediately chased out.

At night, the roof is very empty, and a layer of dark green moss grows on top of the gray tiles, which is very soft to step on. The finches under the eaves felt the vibration overhead, and chirped uneasily.

"Aren't you running away?"

Gu Shiwei held the long sword in his hand, looked at Li Mao's back in front of him and asked.

If you look at it from this place, you can see the spire of the Gounji pagoda.

Li Mao slowly turned his head and looked at Gu Shiwei, his expression was extraordinarily calm, and he didn't have the feeling of resignation when he was in the Li Mansion.

"If it weren't for Master Gu deliberately letting me out, I would have been splashed with blood on the spot in the Buddha Hall. I'm curious, how did you find me? ”

Li Mao thought back to his entire murder plan, but he really couldn't think of any loopholes.

He found Chen Chao, a very suitable backbiter, and before he was arrested, it stands to reason that no one would think of him.

Gu Shiwei put the long sword back into its sheath and walked in the direction of Li Mao, "I said before, if the murderer is Chen Chao, this person's style of acting is inevitably a little contradictory, and there are many things that don't make sense. ”

"In that case, it's better to jump out and see, if the murderer is not Chen Chao, who else has the opportunity to install a crossbow machine in the lantern and kill Li Zhenxian?"

"Our investigation is so smooth, so who guided us to put all our attention on Chen Chao?"

Gu Shiwei said, raising his chin at Li Mao, "Oh, who else is you?" ”

They learned about Chen Chao from Li Mao's mouth, and it was Li Mao who said that Chen Chao took the initiative to ask him to overhaul the lantern, making them think that Chen Chao had planned all this on his own initiative. It was Li Mao who said that Ping An suddenly came to look for him, making them think that Chen Chao had enough time to commit the crime.

The people who are obviously likely to become murderers, in addition to Chen Chao, there is also Li Mao.

Gu Shiwei didn't pause, and continued, "And one thing is very strange, you are the chief housekeeper of Li Zhenxian's mansion, according to Old Madam Li's confession, you also saved Li Zhenxian's life......"

"Obviously he should be the most confidant, but you don't know anything about the gold hidden in his house. To Li Zhenxian, you are not as trustworthy as a craftsman. This is unusual. ”

"Therefore, you should not be the son of the Li Mansion, but the entu newspaper who entered the Li family as a housekeeper."

"You must have never been a slave before, and few servants will constantly praise their lord for being a good man. In these years, no one has been shooting like this, and there is a bit of yin and yang. ”

After Gu Shiwei finished speaking in one breath, he looked at Li Mao, "I have answered all your questions, and now it is your turn to speak." ”

Li Mao listened carefully, but laughed.

He walked closer to Gu Shiwei and looked at the Wuyun Temple in the distance.

"You are really powerful, as powerful as your father Gu Younian. I used to go to Gu's house, when you were practicing swords in the courtyard, and it was the first time I saw an eight-year-old child's sword with a murderous aura. ”

"Obviously, that sword is not sharpened, it is just a piece of broken copper and iron, and you pointed your sword at the pear blossom tree, and all the petals on the tree fell...... fell to the ground. ”

Li Mao did not directly answer Gu Shiwei's words, but talked about the old things.

"At that time, my family was wronged, and my father was a man with a hard personality and no room for sand in his eyes. He can't tolerate a waste crossbow flowing out of his hands in his life, how can he send useless ordnance to the soldiers who are fighting for their lives at the border pass? ”

"Craftsmen like us, in the eyes of those nobles, are just useful tools, what is the difference between them and the cow and horse dustpan?"

They were so stingy that they were reluctant to bend down and listen to the cries of the inferior. My father's fingers were pinched off one by one, and one day the Blue Sky Lord was alive and saved him, and he would never be able to build a crossbow machine again. ”

"This is simply sucking out the three souls and six souls of a craftsman...... Destroy their way of life. ”

Li Mao said, lowered his eyes and took a deep breath.

"The moment I saw you, I hated myself so much. hated his mediocre talent and inability to seek justice for his father and brother; hated himself for being young and rebellious, and often complained about the lowliness of craftsmen and spoke wildly to his parents. ”

"By the time I woke up, I didn't have a chance."

Gu Shiwei was a little surprised, she searched carefully in her memory, and finally had a vague impression.

The weapon case is Li Mao's catastrophe, so why not hers?

Li Mao said, thinking about Gu Shiwei's future, and was silent for a moment.

"Back then, not only our Qianji Chen family, but your grandfather's family was also involved, and you all know what happened later. Although I later washed away my grievances, I still hate it...... No one said sorry to my father......"

"Even we have to sing the praises of the court and wash away our grievances, what a clear and good person......"

Li Mao said, clenching his fists.

"I investigated for many years before I found out about Li Zhenxian's head, he is a corrupt official, when our crossbow machine was handed over to him, it was all good, but later it was ......"

"This person who killed a thousand knives not only didn't defend my father and them, but pushed all the blame on them at the first time."

Gu Shiwei listened expressionlessly, her thoughts drifting far, far away.

For her, the city of Bianjing really has too many stories, each of which is full of blood and tears, and it is so heavy that it makes people breathless.

"So you went to assassinate Li Zhenxian, and after you failed, you suddenly became his savior, sold yourself into the Li Mansion, changed your name to Li Mao, and wanted to find evidence of Li Zhenxian's crime."

"Although Li Zhenxian thanked you for saving your life on the surface, he was more wary of you. You couldn't find any evidence, so you went to Master Zhilin of Wuyun Temple to reminisce about the past like you did today......"

Li Mao's eyes widened suddenly when he heard this, and he looked at the girl beside him in disbelief.

He had been planning for many years, racking his brains almost and practicing the tricks he didn't want to learn before, so he got to where he is today.

But how little?

They've only had a face-to-face shot.
