That night, Shuangbao was very drunk. Looking back on the lost youth one night, looking forward to the great distance, I fell into the century-old shop, the Yellow Sheep Shop.

The shopkeeper was also real, knowing the origin of these two, he didn't care, he put a blanket on each of them, closed the door and went home. When he woke up early in the morning, Li Hongyi had a splitting headache, found the water tank and poured some water, poured a few sips of it, poured a spoonful on his head and face, wiped his hands indiscriminately, pulled his hair and tied it behind his head and tied it in a knot. The spirit was better, and by the way, he kicked the corner of the table, waking up the confused Li Zhengqi, and the two of them found some food downstairs that had already been prepared, and when they saw that the door was closed, they returned to the second floor, jumped out of the window, and came to the street.

After walking for a short time, the government was in sight.

"Well, from today onwards, you will open the hall on your own, and I will retire after success. I'll be waiting for you at the Bureau of Forbidden Affairs in the future. Li Hongyi looked at the little catcher with a look of encouragement.

Li Zhengqi was quite reluctant and a little uncomfortable, but he was such a fierce and vicious black man, and he couldn't do the same as a child, so he said with a hippie smile:

"Hey, maybe one day our master will return to the field and give up his seat for me, I still don't know. Hey. When the time comes, big brother, you have to call me Master Futai, hehehehehe. ”

"Okay, okay, Master Li, you slow down and dream, hurry up and call those boys out, and I'll take them away." Li Hongyi couldn't stand this kid's oily skin, and rolled his eyes.

Li Zheng went with a smile, and after a while, he led four people out, and Huang Shangwen took the lead.

Huang Shangwen was proud of the spring breeze, and he came early in the morning. After pulling the old horse and catching two younger brothers, as for the others, they can't be separated, or look down on him, he doesn't care, for the first time in his life, he turned over to be a big brother, and he was already happy to go crazy, and now when he saw the god of capture in person, he came up and worshipped: "The eldest brother is on top, please accept the next worship." ”

"What kind of melon and egg, what big brother and uncle?" Li Zhengqi felt that his face was about to be lost, and he kicked it.

"You are the eldest brother, the eldest brother's eldest brother is the uncle!" Huang Shangwentian was shameless and eloquent.

Li Hongyi was overjoyed: "Hahaha, the kid is a little particular, he has to get it, don't talk nonsense, come with us." ”

Saying goodbye to catching heads, he turned around and went, and Li Zhengqi watched from afar until the end.

The eldest brother who sheltered from the wind and rain finally left the group, but he didn't know what the future was and what the future was. He had a kinship, said cherished, and turned back.

"My lord, where are we going?" On the other hand, Huang Shangwen rode on a horse, galloping with the god catcher, feeling boundless joy.

"You have all read the case file, at this time, the seventeen corpses in the South Park of the Li Family have been put for a long time, and the mortuary bureau has passed the word, saying that tomorrow is the star Beidou, and the god of fortune is in the middle, which is suitable for breaking ground and entering the house to be buried. He urged us to go over and go through a formality. "The god catcher pointed to the east of the city, and the mortuary bureau was on the edge of the carriage and horse market, and everyone in the city knew it.

I see! Several people responded when they heard this. So he buried himself in the road. I will have lunch and come to the East Funeral Bureau in the east of the city, the façade is quite large, after all, the dead people in the whole city are transported here, and the house is very small, there are only two small buildings on the ground, four bungalows, and the carriage and horse market are separated by a wall.

Several people stationed in the horse entered, crossed the façade, and there were people coming and going in the small buildings on both sides, some wearing official uniforms and shouting and shouting, some wearing armor and guns to patrol back and forth, and some wearing linen and filial piety. are all interpreting different lives there.

Li Hongyi immediately led everyone to the four small bungalows in front of him, and found one at random, Huang Shangwen found that it was a tunnel that was obliquely downward, he followed behind the god of fishing, and followed into the hole, the tunnel was very long, straight into the ground, Fang walked a few steps, the temperature dropped suddenly, oil lamps were hung on both sides to guide the way, light and shadow pupils, at first glance I felt that I had come to another world, and the boundary between life and death was clearly distinguishable.

After walking for a long time, there is some light in front, step out to see, the creation is magical, it is an underground karst cave, the space does not know how much, the top of the head is cracked everywhere, through the sky light, although it is not very bright, it is enough to illuminate, and the oil lamp in the cave saves a lot.

A large piece of ground was leveled in the middle, and there was a row of two-story buildings built there, and there were many people around, all doing their own thing. A sergeant stopped at the intersection, asked a few people for their identities, read the paperwork, and let him go. Li Hongyi took the lead and walked up to the second floor, knocking on a door at the end, which slowly opened, and it could be seen that the door was thickly wrapped with insulated cotton material, which looked extremely bulky. A man leaned out from behind the door, an old man, smiling very flatteringly, it was the goatee Li Dianjin.

A few people went in and closed the door, and suddenly felt a lot hot, Li Dianjin walked to a cabinet in small steps, clicked his fingers, and quickly took out a copy, flipped through it, and said, "Oh, this one, signed and drawn, and will be sent away tomorrow." ”

Li Hongyi took the paperwork, walked to the side to examine it carefully, and checked his name and surname. Huang Shangwen was bored and curious and asked Li Dianjin: "The dead people in the whole city are coming here, but I haven't seen a single corpse all the way just now, why is this?"

"Naturally you can't see it, here is a big hole, called the usher hole, there are countless small caves behind, the number of proven is more than 240 at present, with A, B, C, D as the number to distinguish, collectively referred to as sent to the hole. The dead are stored in all the little caves, and they are cold and stinky in them. Goatee pointed to the east, arranging the papers on the table and sorting them into the bookcase.

"That's rare, but it's also troublesome, send it so far, and you have to carry it out when you turn around. Huang Shangwenfa was a curious person, and asked casually.

Li Dianjin said with a smile: "It's not so stupid, in the early years, I dug a tunnel in the east of the cave, and when I went out, it was outside the east gate, and the dead were transported out, and I had to choose another trip, and it was a mass grave to the northeast, and the most heinous ones were thrown into the pit, and the good ones were transported to the north, there were a group of tombs over there, and there were special stonemasons living there, and it was okay to carve an inscription or something." But at that price, tsk, ordinary people can't afford to carve. Not to mention the inscription, over the years, there have been people scattered on the side of the tombs, if you don't have money, you can only go north and find a place where no one cares about it and bury it. ”

"Then again, who will pay for these seventeen buried money?" Huang Shangwen opened his eyes, there is still anyone who makes this kind of money?

"These seventeen are all thrown into mass graves, what else are they buried?" Li Dianjin didn't care.

Over there, Li Hongyi suddenly had an occupational disease attack when he heard this, and interjected:

"Throwing mass graves? Why? Isn't there a special amount of money allocated every year to take care of this? What's the matter?

Li Dianjin waved his hand: "That's not it, who dares to be greedy for dead people's money? It's these seventeen, all of them are full of evil, and they are registered in the yamen in various places." ”

"What? There's such a thing! Then why didn't you report it earlier?" Li Hongyi brushed his hairs and stood on end. He is a god catcher, and he sees things from a different perspective than ordinary people, and suddenly finds something wrong.

"If you report it, of course you have to report it, look carefully, it was said in the case record that these people have a bad background. I also thought about this one, and I touched it down, and found that these people are everywhere in the world, some are greedy for ink and silver money and kill their beloved, some are full of blood and blood, and there are also battlefield deserters who burn and loot, and even the thief was caught in the sea, in short, they are all capital crimes, but they are not connected with each other. I have also inquired, many wealthy families have these styles, buy some death row prisoners as servants, first, to accumulate some yin virtue, second, these people's lives are cheap, death is not a pity, work very hard, anyway, each family has a private army guard, can't turn the sky. It's not uncommon for everyone to be like this. Li Dianjin was still sorting out the case file, and replied nonchalantly.

"Bad background, bad background, paperwork, and background records of these people, all brought to me. Li Hongyi's anger suddenly came up.

Li Dianjin was startled, hurriedly took a notebook, flipped through it, confirmed that it was correct, and handed it to the catcher: "It's all inside, it's all inside." ”

The god catcher looked through the lights carefully, everyone was afraid to make a sound, and after a long time, the god of catching looked up with bad eyes:

"Why didn't you report these details on the same day?"

He pointed to a few entries in the booklet, where it was clearly written: the thief's limbs were bound and there were strangulation marks, but there were many marks on his body, which were left by years of being trapped in shackles. The tongue was missing, and the body was disemboweled, and there was no residue in the abdomen.

"The trick of the day is that the murderer broke into the scene and killed seventeen people, as for how the thief was arrested before or what, it has nothing to do with the case, my lord?" Li Dianjin felt aggrieved, this is not his job?

Li Hongyi took a deep breath and said, "That's it, I'll take this booklet." I can't say I can go back and ask you again. ”

"What about the seventeen corpses?" Li Dianjin cried with a sad face, feeling that something was going to happen.

"It's useless, just throw it away. "The god catcher is very impatient.

After saying that, he looked unhappy, turned his head and pushed the door out, and the four boys behind him hurriedly followed. Leaving Li Dianjin to cry without tears trembling: "I haven't signed yet, my lord." ”

Everyone left the cave and returned to the world, only to feel a burst of birds and flowers, and the years were quiet. Li Hongyi thought about it, threw the booklet to Huang Shangwen, and instructed: "You take the three of them to find a way to inquire about what kind of life these people live in the Li family." By the way, go to the tooth shop to check the names of these people, go back and sort it out, report it to me, and see if there are any mistakes or omissions. Well, I'll give you three days, and I'll go to the Forbidden Bureau to look for me in three days, is that clear?"

Several people clearly understood. They scattered and went.

Li Hongyi found a restaurant and sat down to ponder: Zhou Bufan went to frame Li Xiuping that day, did these 17 people have an unintentional encounter on the way, or have they been planning for a long time? If it is said that it is an unintentional coincidence, then all the things on this thief seem a little abrupt. If it has been planned for a long time, and all kinds of things at the scene show that this is indeed a sudden, how did these seventeen people arrange in advance?

He put himself in his shoes and thought: If I were Zhou Bufan, who received the secret order of the Qinghuang Emperor, killed the crown prince, and went all the way to the South Garden, I could have avoided such a show and went straight to the North Courtyard, and I could also frame Li Xiuping, so why bother? Or did he want to make a big deal out of it? Attract more attention? No, what could be more earth-shattering than the death of the prince! It was completely redundant. Either there is a grudge? By the way? Well, in the past, if you wanted to enter the Li family to kill these sixteen servants, the Li family would inevitably launch a counter-investigation, and if you didn't say it well, it would rot the crotch of your pants. So he took this opportunity to suppress small things with big things, and killed these sixteen servants by the way, along with one thief. Well, to make sense, what kind of grudge is it, it's worth such a calculation, and you have to kill these sixteen?

The godcatcher's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in his heart: There must be something in here!

He looked around his waist, where a red sign hung there.

"My grand plan for wealth is just this mere piece of the Divine Capture Order?" he was full of disdain, and remembered Fuyunzi's criticism.

"Okay, I'll make a move when it's time to make a move, hum, for the sake of my Li Hongyi's grand ambition, you hidden snakes, insects, rats and ants. . . ”

He picked up the bowl and took a sip

"Don't even think about running away!"
