"A bunch of trash!!"

A delicate ceramic teacup fell to the ground suddenly, and it shattered with a "bang".

Ling Mo was furious and furious.

In front of him, more than a dozen house slaves trembled and knelt on the ground, kowtowing incessantly to apologize.

"A bunch of rice buckets! I can't even catch a wounded woman, what do I want you for?"

He was furious, pointed at the house slaves with a trembling hand, and scolded sharply.

"Childe, this ...... We can't be blamed for this, if it weren't for that little white face insisting on protecting that woman, we would have caught it a long time ago, and Steward Du wouldn't have been detained......"

One of them retorted.

When Ling Mo heard this, he became even more angry in his heart, looking at the house slave, and said with a smile.

"Are you talking back to my son?"

Looking at his appearance, the house slave suddenly became a little cowardly.

Hurriedly waved his hand and kowtowed.

"No, don't dare. “

"Hmph...... Don't dare?"

Ling Mo smiled coldly, picked up a rattan from the side, and directly pumped it on the house slave's body.

"I see that you dare!dare to talk back to Young Master Ben?

As he spoke, the rattan in his hand immediately lifted up and fell heavily on the face of the house slave.

Syllable!

A red mark suddenly appeared on the man's face, revealing an unbearable look of pain.

"Bang Bang ......"

The rattan fell on the slave's body again and again, and he kept rolling on the ground in pain.

But Ling Mo didn't mean to stop at all.

"Dare to talk back to the young master? I'll let you talk back, let you talk back?"

He yelled and cursed as he kept whipping the house slave.

Screams echoed through the room.

On the side, the other house slaves all showed frightened expressions when they saw this.

Apparently, they were already scared.

At this moment, a man dressed as a guard suddenly walked in outside the door.

"Young master, there are people outside who ask to see you, and they are still taking Du San with them. ”

Hearing this, the movement in Ling Mo's hand stopped.

"Hmph, this time it's cheaper for you, next time if you dare to talk back to Young Master Ben, I'll let you go and be with those fierce beasts. ”

Ling Mo threw down the rattan in his hand, gently wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and then asked the guard.

"What kind of person is here?"

"I don't know, he didn't report his identity, but he said that he is very familiar with the young master, as long as the young master sees him, you must know him. ”

"Oh, Young Master Ben is here to see who dares to detain Young Master Ben!"

Hearing this, Ling Mo's expression sank.

He then left the room and walked in the direction of the hall.

As soon as he reached the hall, he saw a man.

A man with a sharp-beaked monkey gills tied up by a rope.

It was Du San, the housekeeper he had just mentioned.

And when Ling Mo's gaze followed Du San's gaze to the figure beside him, he was suddenly stunned!

In his wide eyes, a faint look of horror emerged.

I saw that next to Du San, there was a handsome young man.

His facial features are like carefully carved jade.

Sharp and handsome sword eyebrows, dark and deep eyes, straight and slightly upturned nose bridge......

The long black hair was neatly tied behind his head, and he was dressed in white, coupled with a jade fracture fan held in his right hand, which made his whole person exude a gentle and elegant atmosphere.

Like a humble and courteous gentleman.

Tatsu Yutian!

At the first glance of this young man, Ling Mo recognized this Lord Qincha who had wanted to kill him.

He walked into the hall, a stiff smile on his face, and arched his hand slightly.

"No...... I don't know that the Lord Qincha is coming, and the villain is far away, and he hopes to forgive his sins. ”

Chen Yutian gently put down the teacup in his hand and smiled.

"Ling Gongzi is too polite. This official came this time, but there are some private matters, and I need to find you to deal with it. ”

"I wonder if Lord Qincha has any personal matters to find the villain?"

Ling Mo's expression moved, and he glanced at Du San.

Such an action naturally can't hide from Chen Yutian's eyes.

"It seems that Childe really knows this person. ”

Chen Yutian smiled, and then pointed to Du San, who was tied up by five flowers beside him.

At this time, Du San was looking at Ling Mo with a look full of expectations.

Ling Mo looked at Du San with a slightly displeased expression.

But he couldn't do anything about it.

Denied, this is not possible.

Not to mention whether you can deceive Chen Yutian in front of you.

Let's just say that Du San looks at his eyes now, if he really denies it, I'm afraid that Du San's loyalty to him will be lost immediately.

This person has done a lot of shady things for him on weekdays, and once those things are exposed, he will not be able to cut off his head for a few lives.

So, you must not let him down in himself.

In this way, there is only one way to admit it.

"This person's name is Du San, and he is a steward in the villain's mansion. ”

Hearing Ling Mo's answer, the smile on Chen Yutian's face became even brighter.

"It turns out that he is really the steward of the prince's mansion, and the official thought he was lying. ”

Ling Mo smiled even more awkwardly.

"No, he is indeed a steward in the villain's house. It's just that I don't know what happened to him and fell into the hands of adults?"

Chen Yutian shook the folding fan lightly and nodded slightly.

"I see. However, he did not commit any major mistakes, but only made disrespectful remarks to his own officials. ”

When he said this, the wind was light, but when it fell in Ling Mo's ears, it was like a shocking thunderbolt, and in his heart, it suddenly set off a stormy wave.

A touch of horror immediately engulfed his heart.

"What? He had committed such a felony?"

"I don't know what you are...... What are the penalties?"

Hearing this, Chen Yutian grinned slightly.

But for some reason, seeing this smile like a sunny board, Ling Mo felt a cold air rushing through his head.

Chills!

"Childe also knows that those who don't know are not guilty. Although this person was disrespectful to the official, at that time, the official also revealed his identity. ”

"Therefore, this official will not pursue this matter......"

It's just that he still has to be held accountable for robbing the people's women on the street. ”

"According to my Daxuan law, those who rob people's women on the street should be fined a thousand gold and twenty zhang. So ......"

Without waiting for Chen Yutian to finish speaking, Ling Mo hurriedly got up, summoned two guards, untied Na Du San and pressed it to the ground, and hit the twenty boards solidly.

He also ordered someone to take out 1,000 taels of gold from the treasury and give it to Chen Yutian as a fine.

However, Chen Yutian did not accept this fine.

"This fine, son, you should pay it to the yamen in person. “

"Of course, I hope you don't play any tricks, otherwise you'll ......"

The last word fell, and Chen Yutian Shi Shiran left Ling Mo's private mansion.

Ling Mo and Du San looked at each other in the hall.

What are you doing here?

Don't...... Is it really just for me to give Du San the punishment he deserves?

Ling Mo was confused.

He couldn't have imagined that Chen Yutian came to the private mansion this time just for such a simple reason.

But is that really the case?

The answer, of course, is no.

In fact, Chen Yutian came to Ling Mo's private mansion this time, and punishing Du San was only secondary, the most important thing was that he came to investigate the source of the incense powder found on Liu Dahai and the mysterious woman.

And long before Ling Mo came to the hall, he had actually made a discovery in the hall.

He found a sachet.

The sachet he had picked up under his seat.

Although I don't know if someone deliberately put it here, or accidentally threw it here, Chen Yutian found that the incense powder in this sachet was exactly the same as the one found on Liu Dahai's corpse and the woman who was mysteriously hunted down!

It can be determined that it should be the same kind of incense powder!

And he also asked the maid who served him tea, and he was sure that this kind of incense powder came from a private house.

Moreover, the maid also told him that this kind of incense powder was bought by Ling Yuntian from the Western Regions, and only this place has it in the entire Youzhou.

Moreover, this sachet is also common in mansions.

Almost as long as there are maids who are favored by Ling Mo, there will be one.

This also symbolizes their unique status in the house.

Walking on the road of the guild hall, Chen Yutian recalled what the tea maid in the private mansion had just said, and smiled slightly.

"It seems that there are a lot of secrets in this private house......"

......

Outside the city of Youzhou

In the middle of a deserted mountain road......

A woodcutter who chops wood for a living, carrying a bundle of firewood on his back, walks through this narrow mountain road that is empty and uninhabited.

He has to walk this road several times a day, and he already knows the road conditions.

But today, obviously, there is something different from the past.

Although the mountain road was as empty as ever, he always felt that something was wrong.

Soon, he discovered the problem.

Because not far ahead, an overturned carriage actually appeared.

This surprised the woodcutter a little.

You know, on weekdays, except for yourself, but even half of the people here don't pass by, how can there be an overturned carriage today?

With curiosity in his heart, he cautiously approached the broken carriage.

Suddenly, he heard a strange voice.

The sound was like human breath. But the strange thing is that there is no half a figure here except for himself.

What the hell did you go?

Thinking of this, the woodcutter couldn't help but be afraid.

He turned to leave, but as he turned, the voice was louder.

There are also a few words faintly interspersed in it.

"Save ...... Save...... Destiny ......"

Hearing this, the woodcutter was stunned.

Sounds like it's not a ghost, it looks like someone is calling for help?

And the sound seemed to come from behind the carriage......

Don't......

The woodcutter was bold enough to come to the broken carriage, and the voice was even more real.

"Save ...... Destiny ......"

The woodcutter struggled to push the carriage away, but when the carriage was pushed away, the scene presented to him made him suddenly change color!

I saw that in the ditch where the carriage overturned, there were many corpses!

There are adults, there are children, there are women......

They were all covered in blood, and their bodies were covered with knife wounds, which was shocking!

And among the countless dead bodies, a man with a bloody face was using his last breath to desperately ask for help.

"Save ...... Destiny ......"

......

Pavilion Station

Huo Yuanji's room.

Huo Yuanji frowned slightly, sat at the wooden table, as if groaning,

On the opposite side, a beautiful girl was staring at him with a smile on her face.

On the table between them, there was a plate of freshly made five-spiced tofu.

"What are you thinking? You can't even care about food?"

Lin Feifei's eyes suddenly swelled with curiosity.

"Are you still thinking about those people moving away suddenly?"

Hearing this, Huo Yuanji sighed slightly.

"That's fine, but I'm thinking, how can I get a tight-lipped person to speak? Why don't you help me think about it? ”

"Oh, what do you mean?"

Lin Feifei's eyes showed a hint of interest, and he straightened up slightly.

Huo Yuanji sandwiched a chopstick tofu, put it in his mouth, and said.

"So, that is, if you catch a very important prisoner, and he has some very heavy clues, and you want him to spit them all out, but the person's mouth is very tight, what will you do?"

"Isn't this simple, just torture to extract confessions. ”

Lin Feifei said nonchalantly.

"Of course it won't work. Not to mention whether Brother Chen can do such a thing, let's just say that the prisoner, he is a person who is not even afraid of death. How could it be possible to succumb to those tortures? ”

Huo Yuanji shook his head and denied Lin Feifei's proposal.

At the same time, he put another chopstick tofu into his mouth, and his eyes showed a slight groan.

"So, that prisoner is not afraid of torture at all?"

"So to speak. ”

Huo Yuanji nodded slightly.

Lin Feifei fell into deep thought.

"Uh...... If that's the case, then we can only see if that person has any weaknesses, as long as we grasp his weaknesses, I am naturally not afraid that he will not give in......"

Listening to her words, Huo Yuanji suddenly stared at her with an extremely strange look.

Lin Feifei, who was watching it, felt a little strange in his heart.

"How...... Isn't that a good way to do that?"

She hesitated for a while, then said with a little hesitation.

"No, it's not...... It's just that I'm thinking, am I a person who has been caught by you for weakness?"

Huo Yuanji shook his head and said with a smile.

The girl also smiled faintly and stuck out her little tongue.

"Guess what?"

"I'm supposed to be ...... Still, I'd rather you take advantage of a weakness like mine......"

"Oh, why?"

"Because of that, I can see you every day. ”

Huo Yuanji smiled faintly, but it made the girl's pretty face suddenly red.

"However, what kind of weakness will she have that she can exploit?"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Feifei was taken aback.

"What? Flower Butterfly? Did you catch the murderer?"

"Yes, it was Brother Chen who caught her, but she refused to speak, which made us all very distressed......"

Huo Yuanji smiled bitterly.

At this moment, the door of the room suddenly opened, and Wu Dongtian hurriedly walked in from outside.

"Brother Huo, it's not good! The state government has just received a report that the corpse was found in a ravine fifty miles outside the city......

"What?"

Huo Yuanji and Lin Feifei were taken aback at the same time!
