Chapter 177
The dragon crossing the river visited the local snake and posted a post. If you received it with good intentions, no one would say anything.

If you avoid seeing them, then people in the Jianghu will not sympathize with their hosts when they knock on their door.

A bit domineering, but the gangsters are always more irritable than ordinary people.

Tagulli really wanted to find out the case, so she was in a hurry.

Li Yun didn't say much, and agreed with a smile.

About 10 minutes later, the door of Gao Tianyi's mansion opened, and a middle-aged man about 50 years old came out, saying that he was rude.

This man is Gao Tianyi. He has a square face, a generous face, and thick lips. Judging from his appearance, he is a kind person.

Tagulli immediately introduced herself, and then entered the mansion with Gao Tianyi.

The servants poured tea, and Taguli then talked about her doubts and asked Gao Tianyi why he threatened to kill Gao Tianming's family.

The tea is still hot, and a faint mist rises.

A look of sadness flashed in Gao Tianyi's eyes, and then he said slowly: "I did say those words, because this bastard not only took my property, but also humiliated me."

"At that time, I was only 20 years old, and I longed for the world, so I entrusted my wife, children and family property to Gao Tianming."

"I never thought that after a few years, when I returned home, my wife and children would be driven away by him."

"If my father-in-law hadn't been pitiful, I'm afraid my wife and children would have starved to death."

"I was angry at the time and came to ask for an explanation. He actually said that my father gave him all the family property, and he also colluded with corrupt officials to forge a document from my father."

"That's why I threatened at that time that Gao Tianming must be good-looking in this life."

Tagulli remained silent. The Gao Tianming she knew was a kind and righteous Jianghu hero.

But she didn't expect that this person was actually of such low character.

Li Yun then asked: "Do you know that Gao Tianming's family was killed?"

Gao Tianyi nodded, "Of course I know, because their whole family was killed, I brought people there to maintain order, but... the servants have already fled with the money, and we can't do anything."

Li Yun stared at Gao Tianyi, but didn't see any strangeness in Gao Tianyi's expression.

"What do you think of the killing of Gao Tianming's family?"

"How can you look at it, retribution."

He paused, and then said: "I swore to take revenge and kill him with my own hands, but I didn't expect him to die so early."

"Then do you know what enemies Gao Tianming has? The vendettas in the Jianghu should be related to interests, right?"

"He has many enemies. I don't know who they are."

At this time, Tagulli said: "Do you know any people from other places who come to Longzhou recently?"

"I don't know. I don't care much about the affairs of the Jianghu recently. It's boring. It's more interesting to take care of my grandson."

Gao Tianyi didn't seem to have any problems.

Li Yun and Tagulli then took their leave and left.

Taguli said suspiciously: "I feel that he is pretending, he can't be trusted."

"Why do you say that?"

"I follow the intuition of the rivers and lakes."

Li Yun smiled, and then said: "He may have concealed something, but I'm sure Gao Tianming did not kill him."

"Why do you say that?"

"He was very calm and did not escape in any way."

Tagulli curled her lips, she felt that Li Yun's words were too decisive and unbelievable at all.

Li Yun thought for a while, then took Taguli to the teahouse opposite Gao Tianyi's mansion, "Wait a minute, let's ask the servants in the mansion how they are?"

"it is good."

Not long after, a servant from Gao Tianyi's mansion went out. It was a middle-aged man in ordinary clothes, with two buckets on his shoulders.

Li Yun and Tagulli walked over, and Li Yun said directly: "We are from Chang'an to investigate the case. What is your name, where do you live, and who is in your family?"

The man was startled, turned around and was about to run back, but was stopped by Li Yun's guards.

"Master, I don't know, sir."

Li Yun smiled, and then asked a guard to take out a purse, "Don't worry, I will reward you for answering my questions honestly."

Tagulli looked at it and felt a familiar feeling. Didn't they travel the rivers and lakes just like this to inquire about news?
When the man saw the money bag, his eyes lit up, and then he said there was no problem.

Li Yun nodded and asked: "How is your master feeling in the past few days?"

"It's very bad. The old man's brother died. He said that the old man cried a few times. He loses his temper easily these days. Everyone in the house is afraid of him."

Li Yun nodded, and asked a few more questions, such as whether Gao Tianyi has gone out these days, whether Gao Tianyi's family has conflicts with Gao Tianming's family, etc.

After a while, Li Yun threw the money bag to the servants of the Gao Mansion, and he said with a smile, "What should I say now?"

In fact, Tagulli already believed Li Yun's words, that is, Gao Tianyi might not have harmed Gao Tianming.

"It can't be said that he didn't harm anyone, it can only be said that the suspicion has been reduced."

Li Yun nodded, "Go, let's eat."

Tagulli was still thinking about the case, "Since it's not God's will, what should we do now?"

"Have a meal first, then go back and discuss with the people in Dali Temple."

Li Yun didn't go to check the corpse this time, nor did he go to the scene to observe, nor did he ask the servants of Gao Tianming's mansion.

He handed over all these tasks to Guo Aiming.

Soon after, Li Yun and Tagulli returned to the house prepared by the prefect of Longzhou and met Guo Aiming.

Li Yun first explained what he found today, and then asked Guo Aiming what he found.

Guo Aiming was silent for a moment, and then said: "According to our investigation, all the victims of Gao Tianming should have been poisoned, and they were killed in a coma."

"All the servants in Gao's mansion did not respond, and these people were also poisoned."

"But none of them were killed, and all the servants are alive."

"There are 48 servants in Gaofu, and we found forty of them. According to these people, the situation in Gaofu has been normal in recent days, and there is no problem."

"In the past year, Gao Tianming has not had any conflicts with people from Jianghu."

Li Yun nodded, "Since everyone in the Gao Mansion was poisoned, were they poisoned in the well water?"

"No, we tried the well water, and there is no problem. It should be poisoned in the food in the kitchen."

Li Yun frowned slightly, "With the status of the Gao family, the cooks of the master's family and the place where they cook should be different from the servants."

"Your Highness is right, this is where we are puzzled."

Guo Aiming paused for a moment, and then said slowly: "We went to Gaofu to check, and found that the places where they fetch water are different, the ingredients in the kitchen, and the places where drinks are stored are different."

"It stands to reason that it should be difficult to poison together."

"We also asked the servants, Gao Tianming did not reward the servants with wine that day."

Taguli said at this time: "Maybe there are other ways."
