A Duo was the most excited, she 'rubbed' her eyes, feeling incredible, then Keiko couldn't help admiring: "So you are a living fairy!"

"I... where am I?" The woman asked.

A Duo hurriedly answered: "You've woken up! Tell me, tell me what you told me. In front of you is the Imperial Envoy, who can uphold justice for you."

The woman looked at Li Quan blankly, as if she was remembering something, and murmured: "This... this is Lord Qingtian who you said could avenge the whole village?"

A Duo nodded again and again: "Yeah!"

"This official is the 'servant' of the household department. I came here to observe the people's situation by the emperor's order. If you have any grievances, please refuse to tell me."

"My... my lord. I... I..." The woman's expression became agitated, but her body was too weak, and her voice was still very weak, "I am a villager from Zhaoxia Village, Huaihai County. A few days ago, Zhaoxia Village was attacked by bandits, and all the villagers were killed. I was caught on board the boat with other wives. At first, I thought it was the work of Japanese pirates, because they used Japanese knives. I was imprisoned in The cabin was 'blindfolded', and he didn't know where he was going to be sent.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard some people on the boat discussing that they wanted to make a deal, but the negotiated person never arrived.I heard a sentence clearly, 'Dongyang dog is not punctual'.Only then did I realize that I was wrong, those were not Japanese at all.In the middle of the night, there was a sudden storm on the seamounts, and all the ships were destroyed and people died.I hugged a piece of driftwood in the chaos, and kept floating, and kept floating. I don't know how long it took, and I don't know when I floated to the shore.Thanks to this girl who found out, otherwise I would have died. "

After finishing speaking, the woman's breathing became faster, which obviously consumed her a lot.

But this is not enough.

Li Quan asked: "Why do you say they are officers and soldiers?"

This question made the woman silent, and it took a long time before she said with some uncertainty: "When I was on the boat, a woman who was arrested with me cursed the thief in a low voice in our Qiang dialect. I didn't expect The other party could understand it, and threw the woman into the sea directly. It can be seen from this that the perpetrator is a local. We locals in Huaihai County are not capable of massacring a village so quickly, and no one will do it. Therefore, I suspect officers and soldiers."

It was also in front of Li Quan that the word "doubt" was used. When the woman said it to A Duo, she said "sure" and "certainly".

Li Quan frowned into a line, if what the woman said was true, then the murderer was self-evident.

But, can Hu not know?Was Hu unable to give the order or did the officers and soldiers do it themselves?And what is the 'deal' with the Orientals?

Recalling the situation that day, Li Quan suddenly noticed a suspicious point.

At that time, Li Quan urgently ordered to fire, but Hu couldn't not execute it immediately, but he hesitated, and said that it did not seem to be a pirate ship.

Li Quan always thought that he was careless and didn't listen to Hu Cang's opinion.

But now that I think about it, why can't Hu be suspicious?That day's vision was very blurry. Li Quan's eyesight and perception were superhuman, and even if he couldn't see the situation of the fleet clearly, Hu couldn't be even more unclear.

Furthermore, even if he could see the appearance of the ship, how could Hu Ke not know if it was a pirate ship?With experience, it is obviously unreliable. The first thing a pirate ship goes ashore to commit crimes is to disguise himself. Pretending to be a merchant ship is perfect. If Hu can't see the appearance of the ship, he should be more suspicious based on experience.With his methods, he would definitely not let him go even if he made a mistake.

However, Hu couldn't hesitate at that time!

The only possibility is that he knew something in advance, and the situation in front of him was different from what he thought, but he was not sure.

Could it be that Hu Can't really be the mastermind behind it?

Li Quan was still skeptical, but Run'er suddenly said: "What else are you thinking about? Hurry up and go back to the inn to pack up and go back to the capital. As long as this eldest sister is alive, she will be able to take down Hu with this! We can get away with it! "

Chapter 590: Change of Situation

Run'er was too lazy to take care of other things, but she wanted to get out of this damn place, and she was quite concerned about this matter. Seeing her excitement, Li Quan was a little impatient, and said in a deep voice:

"How can you be vague about such a big event?"

Run'er pouted angrily: "I said, do you really think of yourself as the master of Qingtian? You have to 'discover' everything? Don't even think about it. No matter how much you find out, it's the emperor who can't do anything to Hu. You are just a vanguard who came to find a mobile phone opportunity for the emperor. With this eldest sister's evidence, it is enough to tear Hu Bubu into pieces! Let's just return to life. As for how far we want to find out, that is the emperor's business."

Li Quan retorted: "This 'woman' also said that it is possible, how can she make such a judgment? Besides, why should a thief catch a thief if Hu can't?"

Run'er sat down resentfully: "I have lived for so long, and I don't have as many brains as I have used these two days! I will analyze it for you again. You are an imperial envoy, so of course he wants to be in front of you." Be good. You don't even think about it, why did it happen when you arrived in Huaicheng? And it's such a big case. If you see the situation when he kills the enemy, and you say it in front of the emperor when you return, he will naturally There are great benefits. You are looking at the murderous look on his forehead, is he a person who takes human life seriously? In my opinion, he sacrificed the lives of more than a thousand people for his own career."

It's not that Li Quan has never thought about these possibilities, but he is not as sure as Run'er.

At this time, Huizi suddenly whispered in Li Quan's ear: "Master, Huizi also thinks there is something wrong. Did you see the 'medicine' pill?"

As he spoke, Huizi handed the bottle containing the pill to Li Quan: "This is Qingshen pill, a very common pill. But it is indeed a product of Dongyang."

Li Quan frowned: "Isn't the 'medicine' invented by me in the Central Plains?"

"The elixir was indeed introduced from the Central Plains, but it was widely circulated in the Eastern Kingdom. Most of the elixir in the Central Plains pursue magical effects, such as bringing the dead back to life, becoming immortals, etc. Combined with the knowledge of "medicine" to make it an item for curing diseases and nourishing Qi. Pills are extremely difficult to refine, even this ordinary Qingshen Dan is very valuable, and you have seen the effect. In my era, a Pills are hard to come by. But this Hu can't actually use pills as gifts, let's not talk about why he is willing to do so, just the way it comes from is a bit strange. Just now I heard from this woman that listening to When it comes to 'trading', maybe it's exchanging Central Plains 'women' with Dongyang people for elixir."

Even Keiko said so!

All kinds of signs pointed to Hu Bubu, and Li Quan was a little shaken. .

Think about it, too. There are some things that don’t need to be made too clear. There is only one purpose, which is to let the bad guys get the punishment they deserve.Now that I return to Beijing and report the truth to the emperor, I think I will not lightly forgive Hu Bu.That being the case, why bother to investigate further?

"Okay! Let's go back and pack up now, and return to Beijing immediately!"

Li Quan finally made a decision!

The surviving woman is the key, and she is still extremely weak at this time, so Keiko should stay and pay attention to the injury at all times.So A Duo and Hui Zi stayed in the cave to take care of the woman, and Li Quan took Li Xihe and Run'er back to Huai City to pack up.

It takes half a day to go back and forth, and it is estimated that it will be past dusk when we set off.

In the cave, Keiko watched the woman's injuries intently, and A Duo was still thinking about whether to go to the capital with Li Quan.

Suddenly, several figures blocked the light of the cave.

A Duo's expression changed drastically, and the figure of the person who closed the hole was obviously not Li Quan and the others!

……

……

The three of Li Quan packed up their luggage, got into the carriage, and when they arrived at the cave, it was already dark.

It is a wonderful picture to watch the sea at night on a sunny day. The sea is like a curtain connected to the sky, showing various deep colors under the moonlight.

However, the cave was stained with a touch of bright red.

Li Quan looked at the witness's body lying there and didn't know how to describe his mood at this time, but Keiko and A Duo were nowhere to be seen!

"How...how did this happen?!" Run'er was stunned for a long time in disbelief, but when she recovered, she realized the seriousness of the matter, and shrank into Li Quan's arms in fear.

This is the instinct of a woman without any thought.

Li Xihe seemed to have seen a lot of dead people during this time, she seemed very calm, buried her face in Li Quan's chest and remained motionless.

Li Quan's heart was as hard as ice, and his whole body was gloomy.

Looking around, there was no sign of a fight.And the witness had his head cut off with a knife, the technique was very similar to Hu Can't.

Looking at the footprints on the ground, it is definitely not a person.

Sporadic clues cannot form a complete picture, let alone infer anything.However, it is certain that Hu can't already know what Li Quan knows.

The capture of Keiko and A Duo by him is the best proof.

"Runer." Li Quan suddenly said in a deep voice.
