Every time you cross, you are in a prison cell in Dali Temple

"Spring! Spring/medicine?!"

Li Luo stared wide-eyed, jumped up in fright, covered his mouth with his hands, and said, "My lord, you...!"

With a smile on the corner of Xie Changying's lips, he said lightly, "It's not what you said, hurting each other."

Li Luo: "..."

Li Luo's face turned red with anger, Xie Changying's flirting was definitely on purpose!It is definitely because of the matter just now that I hold a grudge, so I deliberately teased myself.

"My lord, you..." Li Luo said, "You are so narrow-minded, you are disrespectful!"

It turned out that Li Luo was not the only one who was narrow-minded, Xie Changying was also unrelenting.

Xie Changying said: "To each other."

Li Luo didn't have time to continue bickering with him, so he rushed to the corner, grabbed an empty basin used to wash his face, and was about to vomit.

Taking aphrodisiacs by mistake sounds too scary.

Xie Changying glanced at him in disgust, and said, "Don't worry, you only took one sip, this amount of aphrodisiac can't kill anyone."

Now Li Luo really wanted to rush over and pour down the rest of the bowl of sweet soup for Xie Changying pinching his nose.

It's a pity that Li Luo couldn't defeat Xie Changying no matter what.

Xie Changying said again: "If your concentration is good, you won't feel anything. If your concentration is not good, you will feel hot all over for a while."

"Hehe!" Li Luo glared at him and said, "If my concentration is not good, I will use the prince as the antidote."

Xie Changying laughed again, but it was very mocking, and said: "You can subdue this king, let's talk about it."

Li Luo was so angry that he wanted to scratch the door, and said: "My lord, why don't you go back at this late hour? Go back and rest!"

Li Luo is going to see off guests.

Xie Changying was as steady as Mount Tai, poured himself a cup of tea in a leisurely manner, and said, "It's still early, this king still has something to tell you."

Li Luo: "..."

Li Luo could see that Xie Changying did this on purpose, staying here on purpose, wanting to see her ugly face after the aphrodisiac attack.

What about the innocent, honest and cute little girl?

Li Luo was stunned for a while. Could it be that Xie Changying who was close to vermilion was red and black was close to ink, and was led to ruin by himself?Why are you so dark-hearted all of a sudden.

Xie Changying said: "You don't want to know what this king ordered Li Wuzheng to do just now."

"I don't want to think about it now." Li Luoli replied, now he just wanted Xie Changying to leave the room quickly.

Xie Changying didn't seem to hear his answer, and said, "I'm a little concerned about the case of tattooing that Mr. Huang said, so I asked Li Wuzheng to inquire about the specific situation."

In fact, Li Luo was also quite interested in this case, which sounded a little bit weird.But now, Li Luo didn't want to listen carefully at all.

Xie Changying continued: "Li Wuzheng hasn't come back yet, why don't I just wait in your room and tell us when he comes back."

"My lord..." Li Luo said sincerely, "Why don't you go back to your room first, and wait for Master Li to come..."

"No." Xie Changying said, "I'm tired, I don't want to waste my energy walking around."

Li Luo: "..." When you're tired, go back and rest.

Li Luo was very sure that Xie Changying was here to find fault, and he could only use an even more extreme way to treat such an extreme person.

Li Luo simply didn't say anything else, while pulling open the neckline, unbuttoning the belt, bowing left and right, neither hand was idle.

Xie Changying, who was still calm just now, was finally overwhelmed, stood up abruptly, and said, "What are you doing?"

"What else can you do if you have been hit by the aphrodisiac/medicine?" Li Luo was confident and confident, now is the time to be more shameless than anyone else, Li Luo promises that his own face is definitely much thicker than Xie Changying's.

Li Luo said: "I'm hot, I don't feel well, of course I have to take off my clothes!"

"Don't take it off." Xie Changying threatened, "Just bear with it, you just took a sip."

"No, no, no." Li Luo said, "I don't have as good concentration as the prince, I can't bear it, not only do I need to take off my clothes, I also have to..."

Speaking of this, Li Luo laughed "hehehe" three times, the laughter was indescribably wretched.

Xie Changying was in a hurry, but now she regretted it, and said, "How dare you!"

Li Luo said: "Didn't the lord say that I can't subdue you? Then you are so good at martial arts, you can come and subdue me. Or if you tap my acupoints, I can't move, so I won't do anything."

Xie Changying's face changed color, he was indeed superb in martial arts, and he could subdue Li Luo in minutes.But Xie Changying could not estimate Li Luo's level of rogue.

Now that Li Luo's hair is disheveled and his clothes are disheveled, how can Xie Changying get close to him?

Xie Changying didn't dare to touch Li Luo at all, nor did he dare to act rashly.

"Ahhhh!"

"Killed!"

"Dead!"

Just when the two were at a stalemate, piercing screams came from outside the house, full of penetrating power.

Li Luo was startled, and quickly covered his ears with his hands, and said, "What's going on? I'll go and have a look!"

Li Luo is extremely curious, and subconsciously wants to run outside the house.Xie Changying's eyes were quick, and he grabbed Li Luo's arm and said, "What are you going to do?"

After just a moment, Xie Changying quickly shook off Li Luo's arm, and said, "Your clothes are disheveled, it's embarrassing to go out."

Xie Changying didn't expect that Li Luo's body temperature would rise a lot just by taking a sip of the sweet soup with spring/medicine.The touch just now was so warm.

It was only then that Li Luo remembered that he was still "unkempt", and hurriedly tidied up his clothes and hair, and said, "Okay, I'll go take a look now."

Xie Changying: "..."

Xie Changying didn't understand why Li Luo liked to join in the fun so much.

But it's good to let Li Luo go out to blow some air at this moment, it can relieve the heat, on the contrary, it can relieve the embarrassment, so that the two of them will not "injure each other" in the room.

The screams resounded throughout the mansion, and in the middle of the night, almost everyone in the mansion was woken up, and came out one after another to find out what happened.

Li Luo walked out of the room, feeling much better after the night wind blowing, and sighed.

They had just walked out of the courtyard when they saw a figure running staggeringly and happened to run in front of them, it should be the one who yelled just now.

He was a member of the Huang family. He was quite strong, but he didn't seem very courageous, and he looked panic-stricken.

He ran over and saw Li Luo and Xie Changying, as if seeing a savior, he fell to the ground with a "plop" in anxiety, rolling and crawling.

"Help help!"

"Killed!"

"Dead...dead!"

Li Luo walked over and said, "What's going on? Talk slowly."

"Deadly...dead! I saw it with my own eyes!" The servant stared wide-eyed, and said, "That over there!"

The servant looked back and pointed to the depths of the night.It's dark today, and the sky is gloomy. I can't see anything in the distance at all. It's dark and quiet.

The servant's face was filled with horror, as if some wild beast was waiting for an opportunity to come out in the night.

"what happened?"

"what happened?"

"Isn't this Ah Hu?"

"Why are you so scared? How timid you are."

Many people rushed to hear the sound, surrounded the servant named Ah Hu, three floors inside and three floors outside.

A well-dressed middle-aged man ran over, he should be the housekeeper of the Huang family, and said, "Ah Hu, what are you doing! Yelling in the middle of the night, disturbing the distinguished guests!"

The housekeeper scolded Ah Hu, and hurriedly apologized to Xie Changying and Li Luo, saying: "Don't be angry, honored guest, Ah Hu didn't mean to offend, maybe he earned it by talking nonsense. He is like this, he looks strong, but he is courageous." Small."

"Steward... Butler!" Ah Hu got up from the ground, his eyes fixed, and said: "Killed! I saw murdered! I didn't talk nonsense, it's true!"

Li Luo had already forgotten that he had just taken a sip of the aphrodisiac/medicine, and was attracted by Ah Hu, and said, "Tell me, what's going on."

The honored guest spoke suddenly, and the housekeeper didn't care about talking too much. Everyone looked at Ah Hu, wanting to know what was going on.

It's already late now, everyone has gone to bed and rest, and there are very few who haven't rested.And the servant named Ah Hu is on patrol from the Huang family, and he is on duty today, so he won't rest.

Ah Hu patrolled the mansion as usual, and everything was in order.Because there were distinguished guests in the mansion, Ah Hu didn't dare to neglect, and he was extraordinarily sober today.

He said: "Just... just now I walked to the back of the small courtyard where the distinguished guests stayed, and I saw..."

There was a lot of darkness behind the courtyard, and Ah Hu didn't see clearly, but vaguely saw two figures, overlapping each other, not knowing what they were doing.

Ah Hu didn't think about it at all at the time, he just thought it was a servant and maid who secretly met in the middle of the night, picking up places where no one was around and kissing me.

Ah Hu walked over, wanting to tell them to leave quickly, after all the distinguished guests were at the house, if something happened in the middle of the night, it would be terrible if the master blamed him.

"But I'll go over and have a look!" Ah Hu said this, his eyes widened and he said in a trembling voice: "Kill...killed!"

There are indeed two people, but they are not kissing me.

Ah Hu watched as a person pressed another person to the corner of the wall, grabbed that person's neck, and shackled him tightly, and that person was about to die!

"I was terrified at the time!" Ah Hu said, "Before I had time to react, the assailant actually took out a dagger from his sleeve!"

"The dagger... the dagger pierced right away, so... a lot of blood... a lot of blood..."

As Ah Hu spoke, he covered his face with his hands, trembling all over, and said, "I'm dead, I can't move... and suddenly I can't move..."

This change was too fast, and Ah Hu was a timid person, screaming and running away quickly.

"And then?" Li Luo narrowed his eyes and said, "Have you seen the murderer and the victim? Are they just behind the courtyard? Take us to see it right away!"

"Okay, okay!" Ah Hu nodded and said, "It's... right behind, no...not far away."

Ah Hu staggered to his feet, and before he could take everyone to the scene of the murder, another person came.

It was Mrs. Huang who helped Mr. Huang to come over, and it was long overdue.

Master Huang seemed to have drunk a little wine, a little drunk, and a little unconscious, and said, "What happened?"

Mrs. Huang also said: "What's the noise in the middle of the night, disturbing the distinguished guests!"

Don't look at Mrs. Huang's cuteness, but Ah Hu is really afraid of her. When she opened her mouth, Ah Hu was so frightened that he fell to the ground, trembling and unable to get up at all.

Mrs. Huang looked puzzled and said, "What's the matter? What are you pretending to do?"

"Husband... people..." Ahu couldn't even say a complete sentence.

Xie Changying had always acted vigorously, waved his hand, and told the guards to step forward to set Ah Hu up, and take them to the scene of the crime first.

With Ah Hu leading the way, a group of people were mighty, holding lanterns in their hands, turning the night into day, and walked to the back of the small courtyard together.

That place is really remote, if it wasn't for patrolling, no one would pay attention, no wonder Ah Hu would mistakenly think it was a private meeting with an adulterer.

"Just..." Ah Hu pointed to the corner behind the tree in front of him, already stuttering and unable to speak.

Li Luo was the first to stride over, and he didn't look scared at all.

Xie Changying frowned and walked over.

As soon as they turned a corner, the candlelight illuminated the corner very clearly...

Nothing.

Li Luo blinked and said, "Nothing."

Xie Changying frowned and said, "What's going on?"

There is no murderer.

No one is dead.

Not even a drop of blood.

The people who came up behind could also see clearly, and suddenly they made a noise: "What's going on?"

"Nothing."

"Didn't it say someone was killed?"

"Yeah, nothing."

Mr. Huang was very drunk and couldn't speak well, so Mrs. Huang replaced him and said, "Ah Hu, what are you doing? Did you drink too much?"

"No, no, I don't!" Ah Hu became excited, and said, "You believe me, I really don't!"

"I saw it, I saw it! Really!"

"Someone was killed! I can see clearly, I see..."

When he said this, he stuttered suddenly and stared at Mrs. Huang dully.

Mrs. Huang was obviously horrified by his look, and said: "What did you see, you are crazy."

Ah Hu said, "It's... Ma'am... Killed, killed someone."

"What did you say?!" Madam Huang screamed.

As soon as Ah Hu said this, everyone around became noisy and stared at Mrs. Huang in disbelief.

Mrs. Huang was so angry that her face turned red, and said: "It's ridiculous! Ah Hu, I treat you well! Why do you frame me like this? Say I killed someone? It's ridiculous. Who did I kill? Why did I kill someone? ah?"

"Kill... kill..."

Ah Hu became even more frightened, and said: "Kill the eldest... the eldest lady... I saw the eldest lady was stabbed seven times by the wife, blood was everywhere, and then she remained motionless..."

"God!"

"Madam?"

"The eldest lady is back?"

The uproarious voice sounded again, and this time even the drunk Master Huang opened his eyes wide and said, "This is impossible!"

Li Luo looked very interested. Although he didn't know who the eldest lady was, the expressions on everyone's faces were really exciting. Li Luo concluded that the case of the disappearance of the deceased must be very interesting and hidden.

Mrs. Huang saw that she was not the one who suffered, and said: "It's ridiculous! It's even more ridiculous! I killed the eldest lady? The eldest lady has been missing for so many years, how did I kill the eldest lady? You said it. Mrs. Where is Madam? You should call her out and let us see!"

"I, I, I..." Ah Hu was speechless.

Mrs. Huang said aggressively: "Let's talk again! I have alibi! I can't be the murderer. I was drinking with the master just now, and I haven't left the room since dark, and I haven't taken a step. How can I kill someone?" .”

"Yes." Master Huang nodded drunkenly, and said: "Madam has never left the room, never left the room, so it cannot be the murderer. Besides... Besides, that woman has been missing for many years, whether she is dead or alive... Maybe it has been a long time ago died!"

"Things become more and more interesting the more you listen to them." Li Luo whispered to himself.

He said that's all, but turned around and left, leaving the crowd, apparently going back to his room and walking towards the courtyard where he was staying.

Xie Changying felt that she was getting more and more confused about Li Luo, so she squinted her eyes when she saw his back, and immediately followed him.

When they entered the courtyard, Xie Changying folded his arms and said, "You said it was interesting, why did you leave?"

Li Luo smiled and said, "If you stay here, you won't get any more interesting information, so don't waste your time."

Xie Changying didn't understand what he meant, and said, "Then what did you find?"

Li Luo was thoughtful: "First of all, there are eyewitnesses who said that Mrs. Huang killed a person named Da Furen. But when we went to the scene of the crime, there was no dead person, no murder weapon, and not a single drop of blood."

Xie Changying nodded.

Li Luo added: "Secondly, Mrs. Huang must have lied."

Xie Changying nodded again and smiled disdainfully.

Xie Changying could also see this, after dark, Mrs. Huang clearly sent Li Luo sweet soup with aphrodisiacs, but she said that she would drink with Master Huang all the time, and never left for a moment.

Li Luo said: "It seems that Mrs. Huang got old master Huang drunk and made him a false witness."

Xie Changying frowned: "In that case, I'm afraid Madam Huang hid the body after she killed someone."

Li Luo shook his head and said: "The time is too short. We heard Ah Hu's cry and rushed over. The time in between was very short. Let alone Mrs. Huang, it is very difficult to dispose of the corpse at the scene. Even if there are accomplices, It is also very difficult, unless you bring five or six accomplices."

"Then..." Xie Changying couldn't figure it out.

"Don't worry." Li Luo smiled: "I said first and second, but I haven't said the third point yet."

Xie Changying watched him quietly.

Seeing that he didn't urge him, Li Luo had no choice but to say to himself: "Third, the servant Ah Hu also lied."

Xie Changying was startled, and said, "He lied too? How could he know that?"

Li Luo said: "The strange thing is that Ah Hu is 'organized'."

Ah Hu suddenly witnessed the killing process. He is usually timid, and panic is inevitable. Just now, Ah Hu looked terrified.

"But don't you think it's a bit strange?" Li Luo said: "Ah Hu was frightened, he stuttered, but the story process he narrated is very complete, and the order is clear, and there are many details."

Xie Changying was obviously not as meticulous as Li Luo, and he didn't find anything wrong with Ahu.However, Ah Hu's narration was indeed very complete, without being incomprehensible, or even repeated, so that everyone could understand what happened.

Li Luo added: "Ahu said that the murderer first strangled the victim's neck, and then stabbed the victim with a murder weapon. Here are the details. He said at the time that the murderer stabbed the victim with a dagger. Why is it a dagger? Woolen cloth?"

The black light is blind, and the distance is not close. Why is Ah Hu sure that the murderer is holding a dagger? What if it is an awl or other short-bladed weapon?

Li Luo said: "Also, Ah Hu said that the murderer stabbed the victim seven times. Not seven or eight times, or several times, but seven times. This is very subtle, and the memory is very good."

After being told by Li Luo, Xie Changying also felt that there was something wrong with Ah Hu.

Logically speaking, Ah Hu was overly frightened at the time and should have been very scared, but he still had the mood to count how many times the murderer had stabbed the victim, and he was very sure of the number.

"Also..." Li Luo stroked his chin.

"Anything else?" Xie Changying said.

Li Luo nodded and said, "I don't know if you noticed, but I think Ah Hu's expression at that time was a little bit similar to Mrs. Huang's except for fear."

Xie Changying couldn't understand Li Luo's words again, how could Ah Hu and Mrs. Huang be similar.

Li Luo said: "Besides being afraid, Ah Hu also has some anger, anger, anger."

"Why is that?" Li Luo "tsk", it seemed that he couldn't figure it out either.

"But it doesn't matter." Li Luo returned to smiling, waved his hand and said, "The focus should be on the 'big lady'. Everyone was shocked and frightened when they heard the word 'big lady'. "

Mrs. Huang and Ah Hu both lied, Li Luo felt that it was pointless to continue interrogating them, and they might not tell the truth again.And the key to this matter is the "big lady".

Li Luo said: "If you want to know what's going on, just find a few gossiping servant girls in the house and ask them secretly. It should be more convenient."

To be honest, although Xie Changying was indeed a little interested in this matter, his interest was not as high as Li Luo's.In the morning of tomorrow, Xie Changying will start to supervise the rebuilding issue, and he doesn't have much time to investigate any unsolved cases.

In particular, the victim of this unsolved case has disappeared.If Ah Hu really lied, there would be no victims at all, wouldn't it be a waste of time.

Xie Changying wanted him not to meddle in his own business, but he swallowed the words for no reason.Anyway, Li Luo has nothing else to do here at the bridge, if he wants to investigate a small case, there is nothing wrong with it.

Furthermore...

Xie Changying also wanted to know what other tricks Li Luo had hidden.

Xie Changying said: "You can go and investigate, but it's late at night, if you want to inquire about something, you have to wait until tomorrow."

"I know." Li Luo said: "Going to talk to the maids at night, it sounds too wretched."

"My lord?"

While speaking, Li Wuzheng hurriedly ran into the courtyard.At first glance, when he saw Xie Changying and Li Luo standing together in the middle of the night, he felt that there must be something wrong, and immediately made up some unharmonious content in his brain.

For example, the beautiful and scheming little eunuch seduced the innocent prince in the middle of the night...

Li Wuzheng looked again, why was Li Luo's face flushed red?

Li Wuzheng said: "What are you doing?"

Before Xie Changying could speak, Li Luo had already answered, "Have a drink! Watch the moon!"

"drink?"

"See? The moon?"

Li Wuzheng raised his head, the dark clouds were thick, where did the moon come from?And what is the drink?

When mentioning the bowl of sweet soup with ingredients, Xie Changying's expression was a little unnatural, and he changed the topic and said, "How's the inquiry going? Come in and tell me."

Li Wuzheng nodded, and followed Xie Changying into the room.He wanted to turn around and close the door, but unexpectedly Li Luo also walked in.

"What are you doing here?" Li Wuzheng said, "I want to report the secret to the prince."

Li Luo smiled and said: "Master Li, you don't know. After you left, something... happened to the prince and I. The prince said that he would also let me hear this secret."

Xie Changying: "..."

Xie Changying had no expression on his face, he had already talked to Li Luo about the tattooing just now, so he didn't drive him away, saying: "Close the door and talk."

Li Wuzheng had no choice but to let Li Luo in, closed the door, and then reported back: "I went to check, and what Mr. Huang said is true. There are indeed several evil cases in Yuqiao. It has something to do with tattooing."

Tattooing is ink punishment, also known as ink punishment, which is one of the five punishments in ancient times and is very common.Some people who made mistakes and were sentenced to punishment will have tattoos on their bodies.

Arms, neck, forehead, eyes, etc. are all likely to be tattooed.Because of different punishments and different mistakes, the tattooed characters and shapes will be different.

In fact, it is not uncommon for some celebrities and high officials in ancient times to have tattoos on their bodies.

Speaking of tattoos, some soldiers also have tattoos on their faces or bodies. To represent their identity, sometimes it is also a kind of honor.

Xie Changying had seen a lot of tattoos, so he didn't feel unfamiliar.However, the red tattoo seen on Li Luo's back that day...

It should be a word, but it also looks like a pattern. Xie Changying has never seen it before, and it doesn't look like it was stabbed by torture.But the red tattoos can be seen deep into the bone, if it wasn't for being tortured, how could it be stabbed so hard.

The main problem is that Li Luo doesn't seem to know that he has a tattoo on his body.

Thinking about it this way, Xie Changying felt that Li Luo was full of mysteries.

Li Wuzheng was still saying: "Several people with tattoos have died. They all died for no reason. And there is one thing in common. After killing them, the murderer cut off the tattooed skin."

Li Wuzheng asked about it specifically, and four people had already died, not too long apart.

The skin behind the ears of the first person was cut off. At that time, the person died in the mountains and was found after a few days. The body was not complete and was severely eaten by insects and ants, so everyone did not pay much attention to his ears. The missing skin was thought to be eaten by animals.

Soon after, another person died for no reason, also on the mountain, and the skin on his arm was cut off.

The skin on the side of the neck of the third deceased was cut off.

The skin above the eyes of a fourth person was cut away.

The skin that was cut off was all tattooed.

Li Luo was a little puzzled, and said, "It's strange, why are there so many tattooed people here at Yuqiao?"

Upon hearing this, Li Wuzheng said, "Is there anything else you don't know?"

Xie Changying said succinctly, "Because Yuqiao is busy rebuilding."

Because the bridge was hit by a disaster, this place is very important. Even His Majesty attaches great importance to the bridge, and it must be restored in a short time, especially the mines on the mountain.

So His Majesty specially dispatched some people to Yuqiao to help rebuild and reopen the mine.

Since ancient times, mining has been a very dangerous thing, and it is not uncommon for mines to collapse and be buried alive.So these people sent to be coolies are people who have been tortured and made mistakes, and most of them have tattoos on their bodies.

Li Luo suddenly realized, and said: "So that's the case, no wonder..." Suddenly there are so many tattooed people here at Yu Qiao.

Four people were dead, all skinned.But who the murderer is, no one knows, not even suspicious people.

Those people were sent to do hard labor. They were not familiar with the places they lived in, and they had no connections.

"The situation is like this." Li Wuzheng said: "I heard that the county magistrate is asking people to investigate, but there has been no progress."

Xie Changying nodded.

Li Wuzheng yawned, and said: "That's how things are, it's too late, the prince should rest earlier."

Xie Changying said: "Alright, you guys go back first."

Li Wuzheng stood up, it seemed that he was tired from running, he was the first one to go out, and went back to sleep next door.

Li Luo also stood up, and just as he walked to the door, he heard Xie Changying say "wait".

Li Luo turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xie Changying said, "Yuqiao is not peaceful, so be careful."

Li Luo was also a little sleepy at first, but after hearing Xie Changying's words, he immediately regained his energy and said, "My lord, are you worried about me?"

Xie Changying remained expressionless and did not speak.

Li Luo said: "Don't worry, my lord, I'm very smart, I can handle anything I encounter."

"For example..." Xie Changying laughed, "Just now Madam Huang visited late at night, something like that." Li Luo: "..."

Li Luo choked on him and said, "That was an accident."

Li Luo ran away after finishing speaking, it was rare to see him running away in despair.

It was already very late, Li Luo fell asleep in a daze, and it felt like he hadn't slept for a while, when he heard another call from outside the house.

"what happened again?"

Li Luo hugged the quilt and sat up, rubbing his eyes that couldn't be opened at all.

He vaguely heard "Dead..."

"Really dead..."

"Madam..."

Li Luo climbed out of bed with his eyes closed, put on his clothes, and pushed open the door just in time to see Xie Changying coming out.

Sure enough, beauty is not only for eating, but also refreshing.

When Xie Changying came out, she saw Li Luo's eyes were fixed, as if possessed by an evil spirit.

He glanced at Li Luo suspiciously.

Li Luo was also looking at him, smiling, the corners of his mouth almost reaching his ears.

The outside world didn't know what happened, Xie Changying originally thought that according to Li Luo's curiosity, the first sentence would ask him what happened.

result……

Li Luo smiled sweetly, and bowed to Xie Changying with his hands in his hands: "It's been hard work going down to earth!"

Xie Changying: "..." I had no idea what was going on in Li Luo's mind.

Xie Changying simply ignored him, went around and walked out of the courtyard.

There was chaos outside, and I vaguely heard "The eldest lady is really dead!"

"It's terrible, did Madam kill Da Madam?"

"Ah Hu didn't lie!"

Li Luo followed, blinked his eyes in surprise, walked over and asked, "Did you find the lady's body?"

The gossiping little maids were startled, nodded timidly, and said, "Return to your lord, it is... the body of the eldest lady has been found."

"Where did you find it?" Li Luo asked.

The little maid said: "It's outside, I heard it's on the mountain!"

"On the mountain?" Li Luo murmured.

According to Ah Hu's account, Mrs. Huang was the murderer who killed the eldest lady. The eldest lady died behind the courtyard, but the body was found on the mountain. Could it be that the body was moved to the mountain?

"I'm coming!"

While they were talking, several strong men walked over carrying something together, and happened to pass by them.

The thing was wrapped in a white cloth, although the inside could not be seen, but it is not difficult to guess that it should be the body of the eldest lady.

I heard that the lady's body was found on the mountain. A mine was being opened on the mountain, and a small piece of it collapsed. There were no casualties, but a body was found when the county magistrate happened to be there.

This corpse is undoubtedly the eldest lady.So he was sent over in a hurry, asking the people from the Huang family to take a look.

Li Luo felt curious and immediately leaned over to see what happened.

Xie Changying frowned, and followed a few steps.

Over there, Mr. Huang and Mrs. Huang hurried over, both of them were terrified, and said, "How could this happen?"

Master Huang's face was pale, with hot sweat rolling on his forehead, and he said, "Didn't she run away with a wild man a few years ago? Why did she suddenly appear on the mountain? And... still dead!"

"This... isn't this sincerely embarrassing me!"

"Too unlucky!"

Master Huang was very unhappy, and muttered in his mouth.

Mrs. Huang's expression was not much better, and she said: "Let me see who is pretending to be a ghost. First, he framed me for murder, and now he has really brought back a person who has been missing for many years!"

As she spoke, she walked over with strides, and suddenly lifted the white cloth wrapped around the corpse.

"Ho——!!!"

Mrs. Huang gasped, not as brave as she was just now. She took a look at the corpse and backed away in fright. Her left foot tripped over her right foot, and she fell directly to the ground, not lightly.

"Madam! Madam!" Master Huang also ran over, glanced at the corpse, and almost rolled his eyes in fright.

Li Luo was the calmest one. The people around him all exploded and stepped back several steps, none of them dared to step forward.

"It's really the eldest lady!"

"Isn't the eldest lady missing? Why did she die?"

"Madam... why does Madam look like this?"

I saw that the corpse was undoubtedly a woman, wearing elegant clothes and jewelry on her head, but the gold and silver hairpins were already mottled and looked very old.

Li Luo squinted his eyes to look at the corpse, not only the gold hairpin and the silver hairpin were very old, but this corpse was also very old, it didn't look like it was killed just yesterday at all.

Li Luo knelt down and said: "This eldest lady, I'm afraid she has been dead for ten years."

"What did you say?" Xie Changying couldn't stop asking.

Yesterday Ah Hu personally witnessed Madam Huang killing the eldest lady, but today Li Luo said that the body of the eldest lady had been dead for at least ten years.

"No...impossible." Mr. Huang said tremblingly, "After ten years of death, wouldn't he be a bone already? How could he be so intact?"

The eldest lady's body was right in front of them, if it was said that she died yesterday, it didn't look like it.If it is said that he has been dead for ten years, it doesn't look like it.

Da Furen's skin was shriveled and her whole body was stiff, but her face was well preserved, it didn't rot, let alone ossification.

Not only Master Huang and Mrs. Huang, but also some servant girls and even the housekeeper recognized the eldest lady, it was definitely the eldest lady.

Li Luo said: "You guys have a listen."

As soon as he said it, Xie Changying was almost disgusted by him, smelling the corpse?

Li Luo took a deep breath and said, "It smells like spices, and there are peppercorns in it, which can be preserved."

Someone embalmed the eldest lady's body, obviously trying to preserve her body specially.

"So..." Mrs. Huang seemed to have regained her strength, and said, "So, Da Furen died ten years ago?"

Li Luo nodded, and said: "I don't know the exact time, I need to find a teacher to check."

"Anyway! Anyway!" Mrs. Huang said: "Anyway, it wasn't yesterday! Then I didn't kill the person!"

Ah Hu was right next to him, and hurriedly said: "I didn't lie! I really didn't lie! I really saw Madam strangling Da Madam's neck, and then stabbing Da Madam many... many knives..."

"You liar!" Mrs. Huang yelled angrily: "Why are you slandering me! I know! It must be the last time you touched my room and tried to force me, but I refused, so you bear your grudge!"

"No, no!" Ah Hu shook his head again and again: "There is no such thing, you are spitting blood!"

Li Luo's ears were almost deaf, amidst the shouts and abuse, he calmly continued to study the corpse.

Xie Changying was a little disgusted, but seeing Li Luo's expression, she knelt down and asked, "What else did you find?"

Li Luo must have discovered something, he smiled with great interest.

Li Luo used a branch to pry open the sleeves of the lady's corpse, and said, "Look here."

Xie Changying frowned.

The lady's body was carried back, her clothes were inevitably a little messy, the sleeves were rolled up a little, Li Luo discovered something surprising.

Xie Changying said: "The skin on the arm..."

"A piece was cut off." Li Luo continued.

A piece of skin was cut off on Da Furen's arm, as if...

The same as those who died suddenly in Yuqiao recently.

"Tattoo..."

Xie Changying and Li Luo thought of a place to go. In the past, Xie Changying would never have thought of tattooing, but now he had to.

Could it be that there was a tattoo on Da Furen's arm, which was cut off by the murderer?

Yu Qiao's four murders were all
