The Young Emperor and the Fearless

He Li tore up the creed and asked, "Young Master He, do you have faith birds at home?"

He Junzhi said: "Yes, Mr. Li is interested?"

Heli nodded.

He Junzhi said: "Xinniao is kept in the east courtyard, I will take you there."

He Mansion raised twelve letter birds, which were used by them to contact outsiders.

The letter birds are all white and about the size of a crow. They are usually idle, and they come in and out of the cage freely.However, the birds only recognize the person who raised them, and when other people approached, they flew away vigilantly.

He Li and the others passed by, but only had time to see the passing shadow of the letter bird.

He Junzhi said: "The letter bird that sent you the letter this morning robbed other letter birds of food and even lost dozens of feathers. It is really arrogant."

He Li said: "The bird has already flown away?"

He Junzhi said: "I took the letter, fed it, and flew away."

The letter birds were flying in circles over the He Mansion, back and forth, and there were people beside the aviary, but they were still unwilling to fly back.

He Li leaned against the wall behind the aviary, raised his head, watched the letter birds fly around, and said, "You go about your business, I'll stay here for a while."

He Junzhi happened to have something else to do, so he withdrew.

**

Meng Qing hadn't returned yet, and Juxie wasn't there, so Su Yu stayed with him all night and went to take a nap.

He Li watched the birds fly and fly, and suddenly felt sleepy again.

Not long after I closed my eyes, I vaguely heard someone complaining to the sky outside the front hall, the voice was desolate, with tears and blood.

He Li suddenly regained consciousness, went out of the aviary, grabbed someone, and asked, "What's the matter with that sound?"

The servant said respectfully: "There are people in the front hall beating drums and shouting for grievances."

This is the magistrate's capital, and the office and residence are connected together.The front hall is the yamen, and the back hall is their residence.There is a wall separating the front and back halls, but two doors are opened.

From the back hall to the front hall, you have to pass through these two doors.

Heli Xunsheng went there, and He Zhongzheng just sent the yamen servants to bring in the drummers who complained of grievances.

Above the court hall, the four characters of "Mingjing Gaotang" are dignified and magnificent, and the yamen servants on both sides of the hall stand solemnly and solemnly.In the middle of the courtroom is a young woman with a baby in her arms, kneeling on the courtroom and weeping bitterly.

Seeing He Li approaching, He Zhongzheng got up quickly, ready to give up his position.

He Li waved his hand to let him continue.

So, He Zhongzheng patted the gavel and said, "Who is in the hall?"

The young woman said: "Mr. Zhou, come here to sue the bastard next door. He couldn't give birth to a son, so he poisoned my one-month-old child...My lord, I beg you to be the master of the housewife!"

The child in the hands of the young woman died?

He Zhongzheng asked the yamen servant to expose the child's face, and sure enough, the baby's face was sallow, and the mouth was black, which was a sign of poisoning.

He Zhongzheng said, "What kind of poison is in this baby?"

The young woman said: "I don't know what the poison is, so I gave my child to that bitch to hug, and when I hugged it back by myself, the child was already dead."

He Zhongzheng said, "Did you feed the baby?"

The young woman said: "No."

He Zhongzheng said: "That person has been in contact with the child, so it should be poisoned?"

The young woman shook her head and said, "When I handed the child to that bastard, the child was wrapped in cloth, only his face was exposed. When she hugged the child, she didn't even touch the child's face. The child was inexplicably poisoned."

The young woman spoke in a mysterious way, she didn't see clearly how the other party did it, so she said it was done by someone else.He Zhongzheng wondered if there was something he had overlooked.

However, Heli is convinced that in fact, someone can do it.He can be poisoned if you can't see how the other party is poisoning.

He Zhongzheng said to the yamen servant, "Go and ask you to do it."

After the yamen servant hurried down, he asked again: "Mr. Zhou, is the suspect next door your neighbor?"

The young woman said: "Yes. She is about the same age as me. After my child died, that bitch ran away and was not at home. I don't know where she went."

He Zhongzheng said: "Who is the suspect's name, how many people are in the family, and how does he look like?"

"That bitch's name is Song Chun'er. There are four members of the family. They look like human beings, neither beautiful nor ugly. I took it too lightly. I never thought that bitch would dare to kill my child!"

After the young woman answered one by one, she told how the baby died, and then she covered her eyes and cried loudly again.

Throughout the courtroom, only the crying of the young woman was heard, and He Zhongzheng's questioning of her was also covered by the young woman's voice.

He Li, who was standing just behind the court servant, was a little dizzy from the noise, and his eyes fell on the dead baby.

The baby's death was horrific, the face seemed to be a little swollen, and the closed eyes were also bulging. If you look at it a few more times, it seems that the bluish-white skin is still rising and falling, which makes people creepy.

Suddenly, Heli saw something strange and let out a 'huh'.

**

What was weird was not the dead baby, but the young woman.

One end of her palm was covered by a long dress, the fingertips had slightly longer nails, and there was a dark gray between the fingers.She hugged the baby's hand very hard, and if it wasn't for the layer of cloth in between, otherwise, the nails would have dug into the baby's flesh.

He Li noticed that there was a small bug crawling on the right side of the young woman's face facing him, but when he looked again, there was nothing there.

He Li wiped his eyes, thinking he had misread.

At this moment, the young woman turned her head and met He Li's eyes.

In an instant, He Li trembled all over, as if stung by a scorpion, his limbs and bones began to go weak.

The young woman's voice suddenly became very cold, and she asked, "What are you looking at?"

He Li walked out from behind the yamen servant, and said, "Just now, there seemed to be a bug on your body."

The young woman didn't respond at first, but after a while, she suddenly groaned, fell down and said, "My lord, help me find the bug, it's so scary."

He Li slowly approached, and his intuition told him not to go, but he felt that this was just an ordinary woman, and he didn't need to worry too much.However, just as he was about to walk there, he suddenly staggered and fell on the young woman.

Suddenly, a strange soft fragrance came from the tip of the nose.

"Mr. Li!" He Zhongzheng was the first to come over. He helped Heli up and asked, "How is it? Did you hurt from the fall?"

He Li didn't feel any pain, but his head became more and more dizzy.He took a step back slowly, lowered his head inadvertently, and was frightened again when he saw the miserable face of the baby.

He Li's face turned pale, and he said, "Master He, continue the interrogation, I'll go first."
