"I'm still going to retrieve my sword. Maybe I don't know what I'm going to kill now, but one day I will. Without a sword, I can't kill anyone. Ye Li looked at the roof, and the sunlight peeked in from the missing small piece of tile, and a cloud of smoke and dust flew away.

"Do you have to use a sword to kill?"

"But I can only use a sword. ”

"Your broken sword can only be used to chop wood. The shepherd still had a playful look on his face.

"There are many ways to kill. You can use a knife, but you can also use a gun. There are even some people who can kill thousands of people without using anything, maybe just saying a word, writing a few words. Speaking of this, there was a rare trace of solemnity in the shepherd's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant, "Take last night, did you see a person with a sword? But those dozen or so corpses are now lying in the county office's room." Therefore, you don't have to use a sword to kill someone. ”

Ye Li was silent for a moment, "But I still only use a sword." ”

In fact, even if he had a sword in his hand, would he really be able to kill those people? Ye Li felt a little headache and didn't want to think about it.

"No murder weapons were found in the fire. That is, there is no sword for you there. Therefore, even if you search the entire Dangyang City now, you will not be able to find your sword. ”

............

Even if he didn't have a sword in his hand, Lord Yan wanted to kill people at the moment.

The arson case of the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve was initially ascertained, and the murderer had locked up the foreign boy. However, no matter how the servants searched, they only turned Dangyang City upside down, but there was no trace of the young man, as if he had disappeared from the air.

The surging public sentiment in Dangyang City did not subside with the disappearance of the murderer, but became more and more intense. In previous years, no matter how rampant these thieves were, they were only active in the area of Mashan outside the city, but now they openly came to the county to commit murder, which is to challenge the people of Yanghe County...... No, it was challenging the majesty of the side-sama.

Banditry is so rampant, and the magistrate who is responsible for defending the territory will naturally be unable to escape the involvement. Those thieves can't find it and don't dare to look for it, but your huge county government is here, can you still run away?

I heard that several young squires in the city are already preparing letters, and the fame of those predecessors is bad in the hands of these people, how can you make Lord Yan not anxious.

Now the top priority is to find the young man and find the culprit, so that there is some room for relaxation.

"I've searched inside and outside the city three times, and in such a small place, where are the Tibetans? Besides, that foreign boy is so eye-catching. The criminal master of the county government spit out a puff of dry smoke and said slowly. This old master has gone through three governors of the county, and he is used to seeing the wind and rain, so he is quite in a state of mind that is not shocked.

The only explanation was that the boy was already out of town. It's just that the gate of the city was closed early in the thirtieth year of Chinese New Year's Eve, and it was strictly forbidden to enter and leave after the fire, how did he get out of the city?"

............

"I'm going to the county office. ”

"You want to turn yourself in?"

"You know very well that I didn't set that fire. So, I'm going to set that fact straight. Also, I want to see with my own eyes those who were burned to death by fire. ”

"Just go like this? Don't you feel anything unusual about your body? Can you guarantee that you will be able to come out of it as well as you do now?"

Ye Li frowned, he seemed to mean the shepherd, but he couldn't be sure if the shepherd was asking that. If so, he didn't understand, how could this little beggar know that he had been poisoned.

After running the True Qi a few times, the feeling of stagnation still existed, and it felt like some kind of slimy object was blocking the hole that had been broken in the sea of qi. Ye Li tried a few times, but he couldn't break through the blocked place. In other words, his current cultivation has almost been abolished, and he is just an ordinary martial artist.

It seems that he has indeed fallen into some kind of powerful poison. When he was on the island, Master also told him about some tricks in the rivers and lakes, including the use of poison. But this kind of poison in myself is obviously not within the scope of the several powerful poisons that Master said.

Luckily, this poison only seems to be acting on his qi sea, and no effect on his body has been found so far.

Since he was poisoned, it seems that the fire last night was directed at him.

When he thought of the old couple of Wu Fuzi and the innocent people next door, because he had suffered an unjustified disaster, he became even more uneasy.

So, he had to go and see those people. Perhaps, he wanted to make sure with his own eyes whether the woman who gave him the stove had turned into a cold corpse.

As for whether he could see it, he had no doubts. Even if he is poisoned now, a small county government can't stop him from doing anything.

"Looks like you've made up your mind? It's a piece of hardwood that doesn't fit in oil and salt. You don't know how much effort it took me to evade the arrest of those errand soldiers, but it's good that you have to send it to the door yourself. Shepherd looked at Ye Li who was walking out, talking in his mouth, and his feet were not idle, so he followed, "Okay, I'll be a good person to the end and accompany you on this journey." lest thou be put into prison, and thou shalt not be told thy words. Speaking of reporting, I don't know where you live and who are you?"

Ye Li's footsteps paused, "I won't be put in prison, so I don't need you to report the news." Moreover, I have no one at home. ”

............

Cheng Dayan, the head catcher of the third class in Dangyang County, was very depressed at the moment.

The arson case on Chinese New Year's Eve, in which more than 10 people were burned to death on the spot, was originally a serious case. I have been on an errand in the county for more than 20 years, from a small catcher to a third-class chief catcher, and I have never encountered such a thing. What's even more hateful is that the suspect has been locked, but he can't be found.

Several of his subordinates have already been chased by the magistrate, and they have been beaten firmly. If this case hadn't landed on him, maybe he would have suffered from flesh and skin. However, listening to Lord Yan's tone, it was obvious that he had serious doubts about his own ability, and if he couldn't find the murderer, he was afraid that his future would be difficult to guarantee.

At such a depressed time, these two boys actually went to the county government to see the county magistrate, isn't this adding to the chaos?

No, why does this boy look so familiar?

Cheng Da looked at the black-clothed young man in front of him, glanced at the portrait posted at the entrance of the county ya, and suddenly opened his mouth wide. After a few moments, he reacted violently, "Come on, take down this arson murderer and me." ”

There was a chaotic sound, and in a moment, a group of poor people like wolves and tigers, holding chains and iron rulers, came up.

Naturally, people can't get it, so they have to do what they say, and take them to see the county magistrate. When he saw his subordinates approaching the young man, but the chain iron ruler suddenly fell to the ground, holding their wrists one by one and exhaling pain, Cheng Dayan understood this truth.

But I finally found someone, and as for whether I brought it or not, it doesn't make much difference.

............

"I didn't set the fire. Also, I'm going to see the corpses. ”

Looking at the two teenagers brought by Cheng Dayan respectfully, Yan Shilin was a little dazed. After hearing Ye Li's words, his confusion turned into anger.

After being an official for so many years, I have never seen a suspect go to court so swaggeringly, and so justifiably exonerate himself. He looked at Cheng Dayan who was standing aside, his eyes were sharp and could kill. The head catcher of the third shift lowered his head lower, but tilted his gaze outward. The group of messengers running outside the door still looked like wolves, but the chains that were usually held on their chests were dragged to the ground, making a clanging sound, like the kind of movement often made by prisoners with shackles in prison.

Cheng Dayan secretly glanced at Lord Yan again, hoping that after seeing this scene, he would be able to understand the truth he had just understood. Whatever the boy said, he did as he said.

............

The corpse was charred black, and it was difficult to make out the face. Fortunately, Yan Shilin is quite experienced in handling the case, and he separated the people in the fire on both sides and placed them. A man and a woman are naturally Wu Xiucai's two children, and the dozen or so bodies over there are Lao Chentou's family. But Wu Yuchu was not found, and the two masters and servants were found.

Ye Li vaguely remembered that before he lost consciousness, he saw the four members of the Wu family fall down together, and it seemed that they were also poisoned at the same time. But now only the old couple have been burned to death, so where did the master and servant go? Could it be that the murderer's purpose was not himself, but the woman in the beaded hat?

But in any case, not seeing the corpse with your own eyes is not bad news.

"I've seen it with my own eyes, so it's time to believe what I say. Shepherd's expression suddenly became solemn, "No matter what you are thinking now, in short, this matter is by no means as simple as you imagined. ”

"What did you say before?"

"Huh?" the shepherd smiled bitterly, he was not a man of many words, but today, it seems that he has spoken a lot with this wood. Now he asks for no reason, how can he touch his head?

"Did you say that Wu Fuzi was not a teacher at all, but the second shopkeeper of a giant family in Jiangnan, who hid incognito in Dangyang City after ignoring hundreds of thousands of dollars?

"It seems that you are really interested in the little girl of the Wu family. The shepherd's eyes lit up, "We're going to Jiangnan?"

Ye Li glanced at the shepherd, very puzzled, and said, "It's me who wants to go to Jiangnan." ”

"Do you know what the name of that giant building in Jiangnan is? And where is its main cabinet? You know, as a beggar, I will be able to find out a lot more than you are a piece of wood. So, it's us going to Gangnam. The shepherd looked in the direction of the south, and it seemed that the end of the line of sight was the endless wind curtain and green curtain, and the endless smoke willow painting bridge, "Speaking of Jiangnan, I haven't tasted the authentic wild orchid before the rain for a long time." Now should be the right time to rush over. ”

Ye Li didn't know what was called Yelan before the rain, otherwise he would have been very strange, how could a little beggar talk about such a valuable tea leaf, but he came so easily.
