Volume 1: Born to be a Hero Chapter 138: Confusing
From Taishoufu to Li Ai's house, there is still a short distance.
He Yi sat alone on the carriage, and remembered Zhong Ci's words before, "Eunuch Li is not a human, but a demon", and immediately fell into deep thought.
The so-called demons are cultivated by certain animals that have opened their spiritual intelligence.
But its number is scarce, rare in the world, and it is full of vigilance against humans, so the demon race generally does not appear in places where humans live.
In secular legends, there are occasional amorous fox girls of the demon clan who transform into humans, meet and fall in love with humans, and the poignant beauty of their stories makes people sigh.
However, most of them are made up, and they have been passed down orally for generations, and they have long lost the authenticity of the original story, and no one knows what it is, so whether the demons are good or evil cannot be conclusive.
"Lord, this is the residence of his subordinates, and his brother is recuperating in the room, you can see it at a glance. ”
Li Ai invited He Yi, Gongliangju and other generals to enter the house, and pushed open the door of a side room, and there was indeed a person lying on the bed in the room, showing a bulge. It's just that the body and head are all buried under the quilt, and I can't tell whether the person on the bed is Eunuch Li.
"My brother is sick and can't salute, so please don't blame the lord......"
Hearing that Li Jian colluded with outsiders and wanted to murder He Yi, although Li Ai didn't want to believe it, he still kept muttering in his heart.
Because He Yi had no reason to deceive him, even if he wanted to get rid of him, he didn't have to find such a clumsy excuse, so for a moment, he really believed it.
At this moment, seeing someone on the bed, Li Ai's hanging heart finally landed, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He walked over and lifted the corner of the quilt, but he was suddenly stunned.
His eyes were frightened, and then his whole body began to tremble violently.
Because, the one lying under the bedding was not his younger brother Li Jian at all, but ......
The corpse of a bewitching woman.
"How is this possible...... How is this possible......" Li Ai said with a horrified look in his eyes.
"Li Ai, what the hell are you doing!" Pei Dong in the back saw that Li Ai's expression was wrong, so he stepped up with an arrow step, directly lifted the layer of futon and threw it aside.
Then, everyone froze.
I saw that the woman on the bed, although her head was intact, began to show an extremely tragic appearance from the neck down, making it difficult for people to look directly.
Her clothes were torn into strips, her front chest and lower abdomen were covered with bloody scratches and tooth marks, and as for the lower half of her body, it was already a blur of flesh and blood, and it was festering......
Obviously, before she died, she was also subjected to inhuman rape and abuse.
As for Eunuch Li, who was supposed to be lying on the bed, there was no one to be seen.
"Li Ai! What else do you have to say! Harm people's lives and harbor murderers, and their crimes should be beheaded!"
In the rear, some people couldn't bear it, and some people looked at each other coldly, but Jia Shao, who had always been He Yi's personal guard, didn't care so much, he directly pulled out the sword on his waist and pointed it directly at Li Ai's neck.
Just wait for He Yi to give an order, and Li Ai's head will be taken off immediately!
"Lord, it's not me! I'm ...... I'm really wronged!" Li Ai wanted to explain something, but at this moment, he couldn't come up with any reason other than the word wronged.
After all, Supervisor Li is indeed not in himself
In his own home, and the corpse on the bed, it was obvious that he had been defiled before his death.
People are stolen and seized.
If Li Jian really hasn't done anything, even he doesn't believe it.
Li Ai took a deep look at the corpse of the woman on the bed, and then pounced, kneeling heavily in front of He Yi, with a sad look on his face.
He Yi took in the expression on his face, and also had doubts about the identity of the female corpse, so he asked Gongliangju in a low voice, "Yunyi, do you know the identity of the female corpse?"
Gongliangju nodded, and said in He Yi's ear: "Young General, this woman is Li Ai's concubine, he just took Huyang to live a while ago, it is said that Li Ai loves the concubine very much, no matter how busy he is with official business, every night, he will definitely return home and reunite with this woman." ”
After hearing this, He Yi couldn't help frowning, and after thinking about it for a while, he had already made up his mind in his heart.
It seems that he is wrong to blame Li Ai.
Not only does this incident have nothing to do with Li Ai, but he is also one of the victims of this incident.
"Let's get up first. He Yi sighed: "Thinking of your hard work in the past few days, I will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold and a coffin...... Let's bury this woman's corpse. ”
Li Ai trembled, raised his head in disbelief, burst into tears for a while, and bowed deeply to He Yi: "Thank you for your love! Ai is brave, please give me another three days, and I will catch Li Jian with my own hands to prove my innocence!"
The concubine died tragically, or was defiled to death by his younger brother, and Li Ai was also very sad in his heart.
He couldn't wait to arrest Eunuch Li now and kill him with his own hands to avenge the great revenge.
He Yi was silent and did not agree.
He understood that although he chose to believe in Li Ai, from now on, there would definitely be prejudice against Li Ai among his colleagues in the city, that is to say, for a long time in the future, Li Ai would inevitably be guarded against, excluded and even isolated by his colleagues.
Therefore, Li Ai must personally arrest Li Jian and then commit a righteous act of killing his relatives in order to completely clear the suspicion.
But there are some things that cannot be done by one person......
He Yi walked to the bed side of the room and gently picked up a strand of soft and dense hair from the female corpse's pillow.
That's really not a human hair.
"Demon, it's really a wave of unsettled, wave after wave......" He Yi whispered to himself.
At this time, a herald hurriedly walked over and whispered a few words into the ear of Gongliangju at the door.
Seeing that Gongliangju's face changed, he immediately said in a deep voice: "Young General, Li Ai's housekeeper asked to see him, saying that he found Li Jian in the underground wine cellar. ”
...... ......
Li Ai's housekeeper, surnamed Yu and named Shikun, is also an old man who has followed Li Ai for nearly ten years.
He followed Li Ai when he was in Yangcheng, and later the White Dragon Village was in turmoil, and Li Ai was forced to flee, which Yu The housekeeper did not abandon and followed Li Ai, which can be said to be a rare loyal person.
A quarter of an hour ago, when the housekeeper Yu saw Li Ai coming back with He Yi and others, he thought that he was going to hold a banquet to entertain him, and remembered He Yi's identity as a Taishou, so he didn't dare to slack off at will, so he went directly to the cellar where the wine was stored, and wanted to take out all the good wine that Li Ai had treasured for many years.
But as soon as he entered the wine cellar, he saw Supervisor Li, who was tied up by Wuhua and fainted next to a wine jar, and was startled, and hurriedly ran out to report the news.
"It's right in front, and it's a place where wine is stored on weekdays, and basically no one will come over, too
I don't know who threw the second master here......"
Under the leadership of the housekeeper, He Yi and others walked into the cellar one after another.
When He Yi saw Eunuch Li's intact face, he was stunned for a moment, and then frowned.
He obviously blinded one of Li Jian's eyes with a sword, and even the entire eyeball was picked out, even if the immortal came into the world, it would be impossible for him to grow eyeballs again in such a short period of time, right?
"Wake him up for me!" commanded Ho Yi.
Wow!
A basin of cold water poured down on his head and poured it on the face of the Li Eunuch, and he suddenly shivered violently and opened his eyes blankly.
His mouth was blocked by a mass of rags, and after seeing Li Ai and He Yi and others, his eyes suddenly widened, and his mouth made a fragmented sound, desperately breaking free from the ropes on his body, with tears in his eyes, and he was almost about to cry.
"Eunuch Li, you damn brute! Lao Tzu broke his leg for your future, is this how you repay me?" Li Ai's eyes were torn, his eyes were bloodshot, and his mind was full of the situation of his concubine being raped to death, and he snatched a spear from the soldier next to him, and wanted to give Supervisor Li a heart-to-heart penetration.
He would never have imagined that his younger brother, who had always been taken care of by him, would do such a rebellious thing!
"Presumptuous! The lord is here, how can you do it? Why, do you want to kill people and kill people?" Pei Dongyi grabbed the body of the gun and looked at Li Ai coldly.
"Alright, shut up!"
He Yi glared at them, then stepped forward, took off the rags from Eunuch Li's mouth, and asked, "Eunuch Li, do you recognize me?"
Immediately, he reached out and pressed the skin around Li Jian's eye, the touch was real, smooth and flat, and it didn't look like it had been conjured up by a blinding method.
This is very strange.
Aren't these two Li Jian the same person?
Or was someone knocking this Eunuch unconscious, hiding him in the cellar, and then disguised himself as Eunuch Lee?
Is it for yourself?
He Yi's mind changed sharply, and then he denied this idea.
He was in a coma and was sent back to Huyang City by Zhong Ci, and it was estimated that the matter of finding the medical hall was also Zhong Ci's temporary idea, it was a completely random event, but it happened to be touched by himself.
But if it's not for yourself, then for what purpose?
Is the person who disguised himself as Eunuch Li just to use Eunuch Li's identity and power to defile women?
This is also outrageous.
Also, since he was using the appearance of Li Jian to disguise himself, why did he kill Li Ai's concubine? Isn't this self-exalted?
There are too many doubts in this......
"I recognize, I recognize, you are the lord. Li Jian said tremblingly.
"If you know it, then tell me everything you know about what happened to you. He Yi said quietly, his voice was cold, without any emotion.
"I said, I said it all......"
“......”
