Everyone was silent.

Suddenly, there was a sound, as if the earth was shaking, and everyone's hearts couldn't help but burst out.

The next moment, the ground exploded, and a man jumped out and stood there.

"It's a corpse!"

"No, not dead!"

"He's alive!"

After the initial shock, everyone turned into a surprise, Li Mu was still alive and not dead.

It's better to be alive than anything else.

"I'm alive, but I'm hungry...... These tributes taste good, they are used to pay tribute to me, just give me a little to eat, pad my stomach!" Li Mu looked at the tribute on the table, very polite, and directly took it and ate it.

Anyway, it's for him to eat.

The dead can eat it, but he is a big living person, why can't he eat it?

Eating food, it tasted bad, it was still cold, it was not hot at all, there was dust on it, it was very unhygienic, but Li Mu didn't care about these and grabbed it directly.

I was hungry and panicked if I didn't eat a meal, and I didn't eat for a day and a night, and I didn't drink a sip of water, and my stomach was already dry.

This time I was hungry, this time I almost suffocated to death, in retrospect, Li Mu's mood fluctuated, and he looked at Hua Wuying and Sun Mengxi again, and said secretly in his heart: "It's a pity that I'm alive, if I die, I don't know who they will marry and whose woman they will become, it's a loss when I think about it!"

I traveled through my previous life, and as a result, my three girlfriends were gone.

Now, almost suffocated to death in the secret room, and the two girlfriends are almost gone.

"Master, this is your favorite milk!"

Sun Mengxi sent a leather bag with milk in it.

Li Mu took a sip and it tasted very good.

"Drink slowly, eat slowly!" Hua Wuying said, handing over the handkerchief.

The two women were well taken care of.

Li Gong watched from the side, ate a mouthful of dog food, and wanted to kill this guy. But grit your teeth, forget it, I can't beat him.

"What's going on?" asked Liaoyuan Hou.

Li Mu said: "I almost starved to death, almost died of thirst, almost suffocated to death, and the way of death is a bit wonderful! No matter where you go in the next meeting, you must bring food and dry food, otherwise you will have no sense ......of security."

This time, I was starved.

He is a human being after all, a flesh and blood body after all, and he is hungry and panicked if he doesn't eat a meal, and he hasn't eaten several meals.

"Next time, don't be so reckless!" Hua Wuying said.

"Got it!" Li Mu said, but he was thinking in his heart that he was reckless because his strength was not strong enough and he was not strong enough.

Back at the mansion, Li Mu talked about the case, and everyone listened to the case, with a somewhat complicated expression.

Li Mudao: "Yongle Chamber of Commerce, who is behind the scenes?"

"Ahem, ahem!"

Suddenly, Li Gong coughed.

Hua Wuying was silent.

The crowd fell silent, a little suffocated.

Li Mudao: "Casinos and green buildings are all profiteering industries, and the so-called profiteering industries are often very violent. Without a backstage, you are often not qualified to open a ......"

It's like oil, coal mines, transportation, etc. in the previous life, without the backstage, you can't even enter the door.

"Ahem, ahem!" Li Gong coughed.

Li Mu said: "Little Hou Ye, the so-called backstage won't be you!"

"It's not him backstage...... It's me!" Liaoyuan Hou said, looking a little embarrassed,

"Just yesterday, there was such a big thing in Yongle Casino, it was a gunpowder explosion, involving the military, and I was also angry, so I investigated for a while, and it turned out that ...... That gambling house is in my name. ”

Li Mu was stunned, there is still this kind of routine.

The so-called robbers won't be the Marquis of the Plains!

"Master Hou, this can't be what you did!" Li Mu smiled.

"Not me...... It was one of the stewards below me who did it...... It has nothing to do with me......" Liaoyuan Hou said, just talking and talking, unable to continue.

By now, it's impossible to say it's irrelevant.

"Where's that steward?" asked Li Mu.

"It's already dead!" Liaoyuan Hou said: "The moment I learned that Yongle Casino was under my name, when I found out that the steward, the steward was already dead!"

Mud falls in the pants, it's not and it's!

Li Mu frowned and said nothing.

Li Gong said eagerly: "This is not what my father did, our family is not short of this money......"

"Really, let me go and see the corpse of the steward, as long as I do something, I will leave traces!" Li Mu said: "Many things depend on evidence......

It's just talking, I'm embarrassed to say it.

This world solves crimes, there are many moments when there is no need for evidence, does the emperor need evidence to kill people, no, only a reason for suspicion;

Do county officials need evidence to arrest prisoners, no. Only a reason for suspicion is required, and only a reasonable explanation is sufficient.

Make sense.

It's like now, all the evidence shows that Liaoyuan Hou is the real culprit behind the scenes, but it is not reasonable...... After all, this Hou Ye is not short of money in his family, and he will not use such means, it is too low-level.

didn't say anything, in the backyard of the mansion, Li Mu saw this steward.

The steward, whose body was laid there, was stabbed in the heart by a sword, killing him instantly.

Li Mu asked: Master Hou, do you recognize him!"

"Unrecognizable...... He's just a small steward, and his sense of presence is very low, I don't recognize him!" said Liaoyuan Hou.

As a marquis, there are many slaves in the mansion, and several top-level characters among the slaves know each other, but some middle-level and low-level people don't recognize them at all.

Li Mu nodded.

It seems that after he became a general judge, most of the bigwigs and some upper-level officials in the vicinity of Jinling knew him, and a few outstanding people in the middle still remembered their names, while others might not even remember their names.

Examining the body closely, twenty-four hours had passed since the time of death, less than two days, that is, at the moment when he was trapped in the secret room, the suspect was killed.

Why was he killed at this time...... It's to divert attention, it's to splash water...... It could also be the shelling of the golden cicada.

It is another inspection of the wound, a sword is fatal, as for the cultivation of this steward, it is only the seventh layer of the day after tomorrow, the cultivation is very low, and the sense of existence is very low.

"Who recommended this steward!" Li Mu said.

"It's Steward Qin...... Steward Qin has followed our family for generations, and it is impossible to betray!" said Liaoyuan Hou. Some slaves called the family to give birth to children, that is to say, Steward Qin was a slave, that is, his father, grandfather, etc., as well as the seniors above, were all slaves of the Marquis of Liaoyuan, such a relationship was very iron, and it was impossible to betray at all.

"I'm going to ask one or two?" Li Mu said.

"Good!" said Liaoyuan Hou.

After a while, an old man who looked like a housekeeper appeared and knelt on the ground on the spot: "Master Li, it's really not me, it's not me who wants to frame Master Hou...... I didn't know this person was eating inside and out!"

Li Mu sneered: "Master Hou is a busy man, and he doesn't have time to pay attention to idle things. You have to deal with these little things, but now a big black cauldron is buckled on Hou Ye, five million taels of silver have been lost, and a lot of evidence points to Hou Ye. What do you let the emperor think of Hou Ye, and how do the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty think of Hou Ye!"

Speaking, the tone is aggressive.

The housekeeper said, "I'm sorry for Master Hou!"

As he spoke, his eyes turned red and he slammed into the pillar on the side, apologizing with death.
