Li Cai noticed that the two looked at him differently, and asked in puzzlement: "Is there something wrong with my words? If that child is really a person with status, those children in Anding Village who call themselves the master of the pavilion, Don’t they all become characters? The identification must be well-founded. The person I’m talking about first has a jade pendant, second has clothes, and third has followers to cover him. What does this child have?”

"There are straw sandals." Cui Tao muttered in a low voice.

"Straw sandals?" Li Cai chuckled, "I thought I was stupid enough before, but I didn't expect you to be even more stupid than me. If my master is still alive, I can't help but beat you until your head is blown!"

Cui Tao asked: "Are you sure the person your master wants to beat is me?"

"Otherwise, is it possible to hit me? I have improved a lot now, and I have lived up to Master's teachings. She is under the Nine Springs—" she can definitely rest her eyes!

"You will be so angry that you can't even hold the coffin boards! You are 'filial', and you don't want your master to live in the ground, forcing your master to come back to life."

Before he could finish the second half of the sentence, Cui Tao cut it off first.

"You—" Li Cai pointed at Choutong angrily, but Wang Zhao slapped him on the arm.

"It's really embarrassing." Wang Zhao secretly glanced at Cui Tao and scolded Li Caidao, "I don't know why you are so lucky, so stupid, you can learn from such a smart person. You must be such a kind person, I can tolerate a disciple like you."

Li Cai was rubbing his arm that was sore from Wang Zhao's beating, and was about to complain when he saw Han Qi's cold eyes sweeping over him, and he was startled with fright.

Wang Zhao hurriedly put his arms around Li Cai's shoulders, "Brother, I have helped you a lot, remember to treat me to dinner later."

If he hadn't ridiculed Li Cai first, Han Tuiguan would definitely have spoken.When Han Tuiguan said about him, those words must be much more ruthless than his, and every sentence must be straight to the lungs, making people feel more heartbroken the more they think about it.For someone as stubborn as Li Cai, it's easy to get overwhelmed, and I'm afraid he won't be able to slow down for ten days and a half months.

Li Cai still didn't understand what Wang Zhao meant, so Wang Zhao reminded him seriously that he had better look at the straw sandals that the boy was wearing.

Li Cai carefully observed the straw sandals worn by the boy as he said, and found that they fit well, but they were half-worn and not brand new, which meant that he had worn them for a long time.There is a lot of mud on the white feet, the children in the village are like this, running around in the fields...

Li Cai suddenly realized that something was wrong, looked at the child's feet again, and immediately ordered the straw sandal boy to take off the straw sandals.The boy was originally huddled in a corner of the prison car, but he was startled when he heard Li Cai's scolding, his eyes trembled.

Li Cai didn't give him much chance, so he personally pulled him out and removed the boy's straw sandals.Even with a pair of dirty feet covered in mud, the fair skin of the feet can still be clearly discerned.Li Cai ordered someone to wash the mud off the boy's feet with water. From the toes to the heels, the skin of the boy's feet was even, fair and tender, without any black spots.

If it was really a pair of feet wearing straw sandals running around in the fields, within three days, there would definitely be shoe prints on the feet, but this boy's feet were not at all. Obviously, the shoes he usually wears will not show it. instep and toes.

It's a disguise.

Li Cai looked at the straw-sandal boy again, he was still shivering, his eyes were lowered, and he didn't look at anyone.At such a young age, he can stand still!

Li Cai turned his eyes and saw that Choutong, Wang Zhao and others were looking at him, and his face suddenly became hot, showing embarrassment.How proud he was before, how embarrassing he is now.The most embarrassing thing was that when he was being stupid, he specifically mentioned the dead teacher.

He was really sorry for Master, he was so angry that she wanted to slap the coffin and resurrect her!

Li Cai felt ashamed, drooped his head, and just wanted to find a hole to drill at the moment.

"Say, who are you?" Li Yuan questioned the straw sandal boy's identity.

Straw-shoe boy: "I told you earlier, I am the owner of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion."

During this period, Cui Tao deliberately observed the reactions of the red-clothed girl, the brocade-clothed boy, and the lacrimal mole boy in the prison car. When the officials inspected the straw-sandal boy’s feet and questioned his identity, their gazes were inevitably cast on the straw-sandal boy. , Even if he tried his best to hide it, it was hard to hide his anxiety on his face.

"True loyalty has many advantages, and no matter how hard you ask, they will never confess who their master is. But true loyalty also has its disadvantages. When they realize that their master is in danger, they can't help but show concern and anxiety. .”

Whether it is a white-haired old man, a girl in red, or a boy with a tear mole, although they have different appearances and temperaments, they all have one thing in common.When they ran out from the east hillside and saw the straw sandal boy with Cui Tao, they couldn't help being surprised.Some people were obviously sluggish or stunned for a while, and some people were not so obvious, but they didn't hide their good emotions perfectly.

Next, they showed their 'talents', deliberately revealed that they had 'important identities' in their own way, and even swung their knives and rushed directly to Cui Tao, the purpose was to attract Cui Tao to hunt them down, so that the straw sandals The boy was able to escape.

Cui Tao saw through these tricks from the very beginning, so she wasn't fooled.But she has to watch the whole scene to make a more accurate judgment.

Only important members of the Tianji Pavilion can enter the cave on the east hillside.If you want to escape with a disguised identity, of course it's best to pretend to be a small guy, and try to keep a distance from the important personnel so that you won't be easily targeted.Even if he is captured, he will not be valued too much because of the minions, and it is easy to get away.The Straw Sandal Boys should be pretending to be those children in Anding Village for this purpose.

"They are very smart. They know that we don't know the age of the pavilion master, so the 'blind eyes' emerging from the east hillside are full of men and women, which is enough to distract people. They can judge the person they identify according to their own ideas." Han Qi I also tend to think that the straw sandal boy is more likely to be the master or the young master.

"Then this dragon-shaped jade pendant is deliberately acting for us to see?" Li Yuan's attention was attracted by the dragon-shaped jade pendant, thinking that such a precious jade pendant engraved with a dragon, the owner would definitely be reluctant to carry it with him.

"It's human nature, that's true, but what is Tianji Pavilion famous for? Tricky, cautious. It's not their style to wear it directly on the body to show your true identity." Wang Zhao rubbed his chin and speculated.

The straw sandal boy was still sitting barefoot on the ground, with his head bowed and motionless.Whenever you ask a question, just answer "I am the owner of the Tianji Pavilion".

As for the girl in red and the others, no matter what they were asked, they would turn their heads and refuse to respond in silence.I thought it was because I was afraid of making too many mistakes, and I didn't want to show too many flaws.

Although everyone is more inclined to think that the straw sandal boy is an important person, he is likely to be the owner or the young owner of the Tianji Pavilion, but there is no substantive evidence to prove this point, so the suspicion is suspicion after all, and suspicion is suspicion after all, not suspicion. is the conviction of accuracy.

Wang Zhao and others have rich experience in interrogation, and they can see that these people are tough, even if they are taken back to Kaifeng Mansion for interrogation, they may not be able to come out with any useful results.

Accumulated over a hundred years, how can the method of disciplining the dead passed down from the emperor be discovered overnight?

Just catch them all and destroy them all?Can't get more useful leads?Wang Zhao was not reconciled, but it took them a lot of effort to track down here, and took over the Tianji Pavilion, but the result seemed to be cut in half suddenly.

"We've seen your ancestor's grave." Han Qi suddenly said to the straw sandal boy.

The straw sandal boy still lowered his eyes and bowed his head, his expression unchanged.At such a young age, it is already a genius to have such a reaction in the face of such a threatening situation.

"The altar table in front of the coffin is half an inch shorter than the ordinary table, just to make it easier for you to worship and burn incense." Han Qi said again.

The straw sandal boy still didn't look up.

"It can be seen that you respect your ancestors very much." Han Qi always maintained the same dialogue attitude as an adult, and went to talk to the straw sandal boy.

The straw sandal boy rolled his eyes at this moment, and only then did he react slightly.

"In this situation, what's the use of holding back? The Tianji Pavilion no longer exists. If you are willing to confess frankly, we don't have to disturb the peace of your ancestors. If you don't, since we can't find anything useful elsewhere If there is no evidence, then we can only open the coffin and investigate again.”

After Han Qi finished speaking, seeing that the straw sandal boy's reaction was not too great, he ordered his subordinates to dig up all the graves in the cave, carry the coffin to the ground for inspection, and then burn the bones on the spot.

Just now I heard Han Tuiguan and He Qi talking to the straw sandal boy, and I almost didn't realize it for a while.Han Tuiguan was so ruthless as soon as he made a move. He was the only way to deal with the enemy. Han Tuiguan was digging the graves of his ancestors when dealing with the enemy, and burned them to death!

The straw sandal boy suddenly raised his head and glared at Han Qi viciously.

"If you dare, move out the sarcophagus!" the straw-shoe boy shouted provocatively and angrily.

"But the sarcophagus that you often go to worship? Why are you willing? Do you think we can't move, and we are doomed to die?" Han Qi chuckled, "Then you underestimated us. Within three days, this sarcophagus will definitely die." It will be carried up, and the coffin can be opened as usual. If you refuse to accept, we can take a gamble. If you lose, you can confess everything you know, how about it?"

"What if I win?" the straw sandal boy asked immediately.

"I'll let you go." Han Qi said.

The straw sandal boy snorted, "Stop bluffing me, let me go, and you will catch me back as soon as you turn around."

"I bind myself and let you take me away. It's not too late to release me when you feel safe." Han Qi said, "It's up to you whether you believe it or not. I, Han Zhigui, have never broken my promise."

"Okay! Even if you broke your promise, you have no face in front of so many people. If you want to have no face, I will answer! None of you can move the sarcophagus on the left and right!" said the straw sandal boy very confidently.

"The body of the last person who talked so much is already rotten into mud." Li Cai reminded the straw sandal boy not to be too crazy.

"Those who dare to touch the sarcophagus are not far from the mud." The boy in straw sandals imitated Wang Zhao's expression and tone of speech, so vivid that Wang Zhao was very angry.

Instead, he acted like a normal person and asked Wang Zhao, "Can you return the shoes to me?"

Wang Zhao signaled to his subordinates, and the yamen servants were upset and threw the sandals back to the boy.

"How should I call you, are you the pavilion master or the young master, do you want us to always call you the straw sandal boy?" Cui Tao asked.

The straw sandal boy glanced at Cui Tao, "You are so ugly, then you can call me 'not ugly'."

"Speak up, you don't have a name? Tell me quickly!" Li Cai scolded.

The straw sandal boy was not offended, "I really don't have a name, you can call me whatever you want. It's also good if you call me the master of the pavilion, as it happens that I have confiscated the subordinates of the Kaifeng mansion."

"So you admit it, you are the owner of the Tianji Pavilion?"

"You people are so stupid, I have been admitting it all the time, but you still ask me repeatedly, are you all deaf!" The straw sandal boy imitated Li Cai's tone of scolding him just now, and in turn scolded the yamen servants.

When the yamen servants saw this, they were so angry that they wanted to teach him a lesson.

The straw-shoe boy was not afraid, his eyes were bright, "Then just kill me, and you don't regret it."

Cui Tao and Han Qi looked at the straw sandal boy at the same time after hearing the words.

"Why do you regret it? Regret that you didn't beat you earlier? If we weren't all serious government servants and followed the rules, you would have died several times."

"That's right." The straw-sandal boy agreed with a laugh, which in turn aroused even more displeasure from Li Cai and the yamen servants, who simply blocked his mouth and took him down.

Wang Zhao exclaimed to Han Qi: "This articulate mind doesn't look like a six-, seven-, or eight-year-old child. Could it be a dwarf? It just looks young, but it's actually very old?"

"Although strange children are not common, they have existed since ancient times." Han Qi said, "This child's strangeness is not in his mind, but in his temperament. The rapid change is unexpected, and I can't help but think of another person."
