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

When Cao Zhishui killed Ah Hu, he was caught by several policemen on the spot, which is already well-documented, and he will never be allowed to deny anything.

When Li Wuzheng heard this, he fidgeted and said, "It can't be him, I'll go and see."

"Let's go together." Li Luo said.

It was still raining outside, and the sky became dark. They had just left the yamen not long ago, and now they were going back to the yamen.

Cao Zhishui's murder was caught on the spot, and Ah Hu's body and Cao Zhishui had been sent back to the Yamen.At the moment Cao Zhishui is being imprisoned, and Wu Zuo is doing an autopsy on Ah Hu's body.

All the members of the Huang family also rushed to the yamen. Mrs. Huang almost passed out when she saw Ah Hu's body at first glance.

Mr. Huang supported him by the side, and said, "Ma'am, don't be afraid. This Ah Hu is really, suddenly said that Madam killed someone, but somehow, he was killed by someone else! This... this is really... ..."

The yamen was crowded with people, but Cao Zhishui's father-in-law, Magistrate Cao, was the only one missing.

Li Luo looked around and said, "Why didn't Magistrate Cao come?"

The yamen servant next to him said: "My lord, you don't know something. The county magistrate heard that Cao Zhishui killed someone, and was so angry that he passed out on the spot."

The catcher next to him also said: "The county magistrate has always placed high hopes on Cao Zhishui, and now something like this has happened... We adults have been busy these days, and we have almost no time to close our eyes and rest every day. We are already exhausted and exhausted. After being hit like this, he passed out immediately, and was carried to the back room, where the doctors are still seeing the doctor, so he probably hasn’t woken up yet.”

Li Wuzheng was even more worried about Cao Zhishui, and said, "Li Luo, how is the corpse? How does it look? Should we go and see Cao Zhishui first? No matter what I think, I don't think he is a murderer! "

"My lord, you don't know," the yamen servant next to him said again, "Cao Zhishui's father is a murderer, maybe he..."

"Yes, his father is a murderer. How can he be better? He doesn't speak on weekdays, and it's frightening to watch."

It seems that Cao Zhishui's popularity is indeed very poor, and the servants in twos and threes next to him started talking about it.

"Just now we saw Cao Zhishui murder with our own eyes!" A yamen servant said, "I absolutely did not lie, otherwise, the sky would be struck by lightning!"

Li Luo glanced at the little yamen servant, probably not lying, and said: "What happened at that time, can you tell me about it?"

The little yamen servant nodded.

The sun was about to go down at that time, the sky was not very transparent, and it was about to rain, so it was dark, much darker than usual at this time.

Some yamen servants were about to go up the mountain to help. They were walking together on the road, and they happened to pass near Huang's house.

"Then I heard a movement, I can't tell what it was." The yamen servant scratched his head, as if he didn't know how to describe it.

It was a sound similar to something being dumped, and because it was a troubled time, all the yamen servants ran over to check.

"When we passed by, we happened to see Cao Zhishui committing a crime. It was frightening to death!"

They saw blood, a familiar member of the Huang family fell into a pool of blood, and Cao Zhishui squatted beside the dead Ah Hu, holding a knife in his hand, his face was expressionless, and his eyes were still fixed.

Li Luo nodded and said, "I see."

The more Li Wuzheng listened, the more anxious he became, and said: "Let's ask Cao Zhishui first, I think there must be some misunderstanding."

Although Li Wuzheng had been with Cao Zhishui not long ago, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand why he wanted to kill people, besides, Cao Zhishui and Ah Hu had no grievances or enmities.

Xie Changying raised her hand and said, "Don't worry."

Li Luo nodded and said, "Let's wait for Wu Zuo to finish the body examination first."

The operator doesn't seem to have a lot of experience, and the autopsy is relatively slow. In fact, nothing very useful was found in the end.

Ah Hu died, and not long after.It can be said that when the servants rushed over, Ah Hu's body was still warm, and he took his last breath.

Ah Hu was stabbed to the vitals with a single knife, and his movements were crisp and quick. It could be seen that it was done by someone with some martial arts foundation.On Ahu's arm, a piece of skin was cut off, which is very consistent with the previous four tattooing cases.

Li Luo saw it just now. Ahu's cut off skin was very smooth and his technique was sophisticated. It was exactly the same as the previous four cases. It should be done by the same person.

But in this way, there is a tricky problem.Li Luo said that the perpetrator should be a person who lived on the mountain before, but Cao Zhishui was not on the mountain at all...

And there is one more problem...

Li Luo stared at Ah Hu's body and frowned.

Mrs. Huang next to her calmed down and said, "It's so strange, there is no tattoo on Ah Hu's arm. Why did the murderer kill Ah Hu?"

When she said this, many members of the Huang family nodded and agreed, saying: "Yes, yes, I eat and live with Ah Hu, and I have never seen any tattoos on Ah Hu's arms. There are no scars either."

"That's right, Ah Hu's arm is clean, and the skin that was cut off is also clean. Why did the murderer choose Ah Hu, and why did he cut off his piece of skin?"

This is also what Li Luo was curious about. Ahu's cut off skin was on his arm, but Li Luo had noticed it before, and there was nothing on that arm.

The weather is hot now, and Ah Hu is not a good servant, so sometimes he will show his arms and roll up his sleeves. Many people can prove whether he has tattoos on his arms.

Today, Ah Hu just went out to buy some things, he left Huang's house unexpectedly, and after walking a few steps, he died like this, which is really surprising and even more unbelievable.

Li Luo whispered: "If it's tattooed on the arm, it means..."

Xie Changying next to him said, "Steal."

"I remember!"

Master Huang suddenly slapped his leg and said, "I remembered! Ah Hu did not have tattoos on his arms, but he was almost tattooed before!"

Everyone was confused, Master Huang continued: "Ah Hu has been in our Huang family since he was very young. He was a bit naughty when he was young, and he always did things that made people angry."

According to Mr. Huang, Ah Hu had the habit of stealing when he was a child, and he was very rebellious, so he didn't look timid.Once, Ah Hu stole a piece of jewelry from the eldest lady. The eldest lady was very angry and said that she would send Ah Hu to the government and ask someone to tattoo on his arm.

Master Huang said: "I said at the time that Ah Hu is still young, so there is no need to turn him over to the government. After all, our Huang family also wants to save face, so we just need to be locked up in the woodshed and starve for two days."

The eldest lady reluctantly agreed, and this matter passed away, and it was all many, many years ago, no one remembered it for a long time, and Ah Hu was not tattooed, and even fewer people knew about it.

Everyone suddenly realized after hearing this, and said: "No wonder Cao Zhishui wanted to cut off the skin on Ah Hu's arm. Although Ah Hu has not been tattooed, he has stolen things. In this way, it is reasonable."

Everyone chattered, Li Luo finally turned around and said: "Let's go and see Cao Zhishui."

Li Wuzheng wanted to see Cao Zhishui a long time ago, so he immediately asked them to take them to the prison.

When they arrived at the prison, they saw County Magistrate Cao with a pale face.

Magistrate Cao's complexion was really bad, he looked ten years old suddenly, and was walking out of the cell, he almost didn't see Xie Changying and others walking towards him.

County magistrate Cao realized later, cupped his hands and said, "My lord..."

"You don't need to be too polite." Xie Changying said, "Master Cao just visited Cao Zhishui?"

Magistrate Cao nodded, his face was serious, he seemed hesitant to speak, but he didn't say the last word.

Li Luo said: "Then let's go see Cao Zhishui too."

County magistrate Cao didn't follow in. Cao Zhishui was locked in the innermost cell, sitting alone on the ground with his head down, very quiet, as usual, not saying a word.

Cao Zhishui's saber has been confiscated, and he is still wearing an official uniform, which has blood stains on it, and his hands are also stained with blood.

When Li Luo and the others walked in, the guards all retreated and told them to talk.

Li Wuzheng couldn't hold back his temper anymore, walked over and said, "Cao Zhishui, what's going on? Tell us quickly, Li Luo is very smart, he will definitely clear up your grievances."

Li Luo didn't expect Li Wuzheng to praise himself for being smart, but this is not the time to tease Li Wuzheng.

Cao Zhishui didn't even look up, as if he didn't hear Li Wuzheng's words, like a stone statue with no expression at all.

It seemed that nothing could move him.

actually not……

At least Li Luo thinks so.

Li Luo smiled slightly, he had thousands of ways to move Cao Zhishui, and all of them were just a matter of one sentence.

Li Luo opened his mouth and said, "Cao Zhishui, you have a lot of blood on your hands."

That's right, Cao Zhisailor has a lot of blood on his hands, it should be Ah Hu's blood.

The stone statue-like Cao Zhishui suddenly moved, he frowned, and instead of looking at Li Luo, he raised his hand and rubbed his palm against his body vigorously.

Cao Zhishui wanted to wipe off the blood on his hands, but the blood was sticky and somewhat dried up. After Cao Zhishui rubbed for a long time, the palms and backs of his hands became red and swollen, and even the skin bleeds from the rubbing, but Ah Hu's blood still couldn't be wiped off completely. .

"Cao Zhishui?" Li Wuzheng called out to him, and felt that Cao Zhishui was a little dazed, and that expression was a little scary.

Li Wuzheng stepped forward and grabbed Cao Zhishui's hand, saying, "Don't wipe it, it's bleeding."

"roll!"

Cao Zhishui yelled suddenly, his martial arts were really good, he could move freely even wearing shackles, and pushed Li Wuzheng out.

Li Wuzheng was unprepared and hit the wall, only feeling the pain of the butterfly bone being hit.

Cao Zhishui sneered and said, "Go away, I don't need other people's sympathy."

Li Wuzheng was Xie Changying's childhood friend. Although Xie Changying sometimes disliked Li Wuzheng's slovenliness and dishonesty, Xie Changying was really unhappy that Cao Zhishui treated Li Wuzheng like this now.

Just as Xie Changying was about to step forward, Li Luo stopped him.

Li Luo smiled and said: "My lord, I'll do it. Cao Zhishui can't yell at him, and he can't be nice to him. He can't be soft and hard."

Xie Changying looked at him, feeling a little confused, he couldn't do both, so what could be done?

Li Luo smiled and said: "For a person like Cao Zhishui, he has to use an awl to gouge out his heart so hard that he will feel pain."

When Cao Zhishui heard his words, he smiled disdainfully.

Li Luo said: "What are you laughing at? Do you think that you can't feel the pain because you have been riddled with holes in the wind and waves? Actually it's not..."

Li Luo walked two steps forward with his hands behind his back, and said, "I just said that you have blood on your hands, and you showed a disgusted expression. Disgust is a sign of advanced animals, and you still have a sense of disgust. It means that you are still an advanced animal, not a cold-blooded animal at all, so you will still be happy, joyful, disappointed, sad, and...crying."

Cao Zhishui stopped talking again, and sat back again, with his hands on his knees, sitting very upright.

Li Luo squatted in front of Cao Zhishui and said, "How is it? Am I right?"

Cao Zhishui originally didn't intend to say a word to Li Luo, but Li Luo inexplicably made him angry.

Li Luo was very arrogant, as if he could read everyone's mind, which made Cao Zhishui feel that he was naked.His filthy past, no matter how well he concealed it, would be discovered thoroughly by Li Luo.

Cao Zhishui hated Li Luo inexplicably.

Cao Zhishui raised his head, looked at Li Luo who was close at hand, and said, "Do you think you're smart? Let me tell you, it's not. What do you know?"

He paused when he said this, and said, "I killed that person."

Li Wuzheng opened his eyes wide in disbelief, fixed his eyes on Cao Zhishui, and said, "Don't speak out of anger for a while, how can you talk nonsense like this!"

"What do you know about me?" Cao Zhishui turned his head to look at Li Wuzheng, and said, "Because I'm good-looking, so you think I'm a good person? It's so ridiculous, because I'm good-looking, so you want to get close to me, Because I'm good-looking, so you hate me?"

Cao Zhishui was indeed good-looking. Many girls in the town would blush and beat their hearts when they saw him for the first time, and then ran into him by chance at the gate of the county government office.

As for the officials and policemen in the county government office, they were very jealous of him because of his good looks, and often pushed him away on weekdays.

Cao Zhishui said: "My father is a murderer! I saw him kill with my own eyes. Maybe I learned it at that time. It's not surprising."

They had all heard about Cao Zhishui. Cao Zhishui's father was a murderer. Cao Zhishui was there at the time. His father's eyes turned red and he turned around and grabbed Cao Zhishui's neck, intending to strangle him to death.

At that time, Cao County Magistrate arrived in time and rescued Cao Zhishui.

Later, Cao Zhishui's father was executed, and Cao Zhishui became an orphan who no one wanted, and was pointed out by his neighbors, thinking that he would also be a murderer when he grew up.

When Cao County Magistrate heard about this incident, he felt sorry for Cao Zhishui who was helpless at such a young age, so he took Cao Zhishui home.At that time, the county magistrate Cao had not come to Yuqiao to take office, and his daughter had not died yet.County magistrate Cao thought that her daughter is bored by herself, and there is nothing wrong with having an extra child in the family, and they can also relieve boredom together.

Later, Cao Zhishui followed Cao County Magistrate and grew up day by day, but Cao Zhishui's character became more and more gloomy.

Cao Zhishui laughed as he spoke: "Me? What kind of person am I, do you know? I hate my father! I hate him! He ruined my life! I also hate all the prisoners! Did they think Live your own family?"

"Because of them, the family will be pointed at, ridiculed, and excluded..."

"I hate...very much."

"That's who I am! That's me! Why do you believe me! You don't understand! How ridiculous! How ridiculous!"

Li Luo shook his head and said, "I never said I believed in you, I'm afraid you misunderstood."

Cao Zhishui was taken aback for a moment, not quite understanding what Li Luo meant.

Li Luo said: "What I believe in is the truth."

Cao Zhishui was still in a daze, but Li Luo had already stood up, then leaned down slightly, sat on the ground directly, and gave the decadent Cao Zhishui a hug.

Cao Zhishui's whole body froze instantly, wanting to subconsciously push Li Luo away.

At the same time, Xie Changying was also stiff. Xie Changying never thought that Li Luo would suddenly hug Cao Zhishui.

Xie Changying didn't know what she was thinking, anyway, his stomach was overwhelming, hot and sour, and then he shot like lightning, before Cao Zhishui could react at all, he grabbed Li Luo by the back collar, and gave him to him. Pulled over.

"what--"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"My lord, be merciful!"

Li Luo clutched his neck and said, "My lord, this is murder."

"go!"

Xie Changying let go of Li Luo's collar, grabbed his wrist instead, and led him out of the cell unceremoniously.

Along the way, Xie Changying was sulking all the way, and couldn't help it anymore, she said, "What are you going to hug Cao Zhishui all of a sudden? You don't know martial arts, so what if he suddenly gets into trouble?"

Li Wuzheng said beside him: "Yes, Cao Zhishui is very good at martial arts, and I can't even beat him." He rubbed his still sore back while talking.

Li Luo said: "It's nothing, I just feel that Cao Zhishui is a little pitiful. He touched his leg just now, he must want someone to hug him, so I gave him a warm hug."

Xie Changying was even angrier when he heard that, Cao Zhishui wanted a hug, so Li Luo gave him a hug?When did Li Luo become so considerate?

He is obviously narrow-minded, likes to bully others, and has a temperament that will never suffer.

The more Xie Changying thought about it, the darker his face became. Could it be that Cao Zhishui is too good-looking?

Indeed, Li Luo likes good-looking people, while Cao Zhishui is so good-looking that even Li Wuzheng falls in love with him at first sight.

However, this king is definitely not bad!

These words came to Xie Changying's mind, and then Xie Changying suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"What am I thinking..."

Xie Changying rubbed his forehead, talking to himself.

Li Luo looked back curiously, and said, "What did the prince think of?"

Xie Changying remained expressionless and said, "I didn't think of anything."

Li Luo was suspicious, but judging by Xie Changying's reaction, he would not reveal it to him.

Li Wuzheng still had a troubled look on his face, and said, "I still think that the murderer was not Cao Zhishui, so why didn't he justify himself?"

Li Luo said: "Master Li, your sixth sense is correct. But having said that, things like sixth sense are usually more effective for women. Master Li, you..."

He said hehehe a few times, and it seemed that he was teasing Li Wuzheng.

Li Wuzheng said: "Hey, there are men and women? It doesn't matter at all, okay?"

"Of course it's divided." Li Luo said firmly: "This is based on science, okay? It's because you don't understand."

Xie Changying saw that Li Luo and Li Wuzheng were about to argue about such a sesame and mung bean matter, so she interrupted in time: "Let's talk about the case."

"I was almost taken away by Lord Li, so tell us about the case." Li Luo said, "Although Ah Hu's death is very suspicious, many people have seen with their own eyes that the murderer was Cao Zhishui. However, in the first four times, Cao Zhishui did not commit the crime at all. Time, he is not on the mountain, he is always in the yamen."

Li Wuzheng nodded and said, "Yes, that's right, that's what I think."

"And there is another problem." Li Luo said.

Xie Changying asked, "What is it?"

Li Luo said: "Cao Zhishui and Ahu are actually about the same age. Ahu stole things from the eldest lady when he was young, and Cao Zhishui was still young at that time. Cao Zhishui only followed the county magistrate after his father was executed. That At that time, County Magistrate Cao had not come to Yuqiao to take up his post, so Cao Zhishui could not have known Ahu at that time, nor did he know that Ahu had stolen and had not been tattooed."

Li Luo seemed to be saying a tongue twister, but Xie Changying understood.

Xie Changying said: "Indeed, Ah Hu's theft happened many years ago. No one in Huang's family knew about it. Cao Zhishui was not in the bridge at that time. How did he hear about it?"

Li Luo said again: "Although several yamen servants kept saying that they saw Cao Zhishui murder with their own eyes, but they didn't actually witness the murder process, they just saw Cao Zhishui with the dead Ah Hu. What if the real murderer killed Ah Tiger, and Cao Zhishui happened to pass by, so he became this scapegoat."

Li Wuzheng felt that his head was getting bigger, and said: "It's too complicated, so I want a result. You all think that Cao Zhishui is not the murderer! Then why is he? Why didn't he talk! Even if he doesn't know the real murderer Whoever it is, then he has to defend himself."

"That's a good question." Li Luo smiled and nodded.

Li Wuzheng was surprised and said, "You know why."

"Isn't it obvious?" Li Luo said, "Because Cao Zhishui is very concerned about the real murderer. He doesn't want others to find out who the real murderer is. He is protecting the real murderer, so he doesn't say a word."

"What?" Li Wuzheng was dumbfounded, and said, "He is protecting the real murderer, and the real murderer..."

Xie Changying said flatly, "Magistrate Cao."

Li Luo nodded, and said to Xie Changying with a smile: "My lord and I really understand each other, I think so too."

"Impossible." Li Wuzheng shook his head. County Magistrate Cao should indeed be the person Cao Zhishui cared about the most, but County Magistrate Cao was the murderer, and Li Wuzheng couldn't believe it.

"Let me tell you a story."

With his hands behind his back, Li Luo looked like an old god, and said, "I inquired about the story of County Magistrate Cao."

Cao county magistrate was also an official before he came to Yuqiao, and he was also loved by others. He was a good and honest official.The reason why magistrate Cao left that place and went to Yuqiao to take up his post was actually to leave the place of sadness.

Because there, his most beloved daughter died.

County magistrate Cao has been blaming himself very much for not protecting his daughter well, otherwise he wouldn't have...

The matter can be traced back many, many years ago. The county magistrate Cao rescued a group of refugees, resettled them, and helped them build houses. The refugees were very grateful to the county magistrate Cao.

Among these refugees was a young man who was young, willing to endure hardships, and looked quite decent.County magistrate Cao felt that he was a malleable talent. Although there were some small flaws in his body before, the prodigal son could still be forgiven for not changing his money.

So County Magistrate Cao asked the young man if he would like to work in the yamen, so that he could earn more money and live a better life.

The young man was very happy and thankful enough to enter the yamen as a yamen servant. He worked much harder than others every day and was willing to do any dirty work.

The young man worked in the yamen, came and went, inexplicably became acquainted with Cao County Magistrate's daughter, and then gradually developed a heart of love.

Coincidentally, the daughter of County Magistrate Cao also likes such a hardworking and simple man, and will not dislike his lack of status.

In fact, this is not a bad thing, after all, County Magistrate Cao didn't even think about finding a wealthy husband for his daughter, as long as his daughter is happy.

but then……

A rich businessman came to the county and decided to settle in this place, and the young master of the rich businessman knew the young man.

The young man came from a foreign country and knew the rich businessman before.It turned out that the young man was originally a servant of the rich businessman's house, but because the rich businessman was too mean and tricky, the young man really couldn't do it anymore, so he simply stole some things from the rich businessman's house and prepared to run away.

The first time he failed, the young man was caught by a wealthy businessman, he was beaten severely, and then tattooed on his arm. The tattoo was deep enough to show the bone, which meant that his hands and feet were not clean.

After that the lad recuperated for a few months, and then he ran away for the second time...

This time he succeeded. He left the rich merchant's house and hid far away. Then he met the magistrate Cao, a great benevolent man, got a job in the yamen, and gained a sweetheart.

Everything was beautiful at first, but the rich businessman appeared again. The rich businessman found the young man and wanted to make public what the young man had done before, and tell everyone that he was a thief. It would be too ridiculous for a thief to be a government servant.

The rich businessman threatened the young man and asked him to return the stolen things. The young man refused to pay the money and did not want others to know his past. He was very scared.

At this time, the wealthy businessman proposed another remedy for him.

The rich businessman fell in love with the daughter of the county magistrate Cao, and thought that Miss Cao was really beautiful, so he wanted to marry Miss Cao as his wife.It's a pity that Miss Cao looked down on him, didn't like him, and rejected him directly.

The rich businessman was very angry and thought of a good way, which was to ask the young man to ask Miss Cao out, and then to cook a raw rice, so that even if Miss Cao didn't agree, she had to agree.

Li Wuzheng couldn't believe it, and after listening to Li Luo's story, he said, "Then... that man won't agree?"

The young man obviously likes Miss Cao, Li Wuzheng couldn't believe that he would agree to such a thing.

But the fact is cruel, Li Luo nodded.

For his own sake, the young man actually agreed and asked Ms. Cao out on a false date...

Xie Changying frowned and didn't speak.

Li Luo said: "The rich businessman wanted to insult Ms. Cao forcibly, but Ms. Cao resisted to the death and finally jumped off the cliff."

Miss Cao is dead...

He jumped directly from the cliff. After Cao County Magistrate heard about this, he frantically went to look for it under the cliff, but all he found were broken and incomplete corpses.

Jumping off such a high cliff, it is inevitable that the body will be decapitated, and the body will not be complete.When the magistrate Cao found his daughter, it was already a few days later. There were many wild animals in the mountains, and Miss Cao's body was bitten in a mess.

Li Wuzheng couldn't stand listening any longer, so he took two steps on the spot.

Not long after Miss Cao's death, the wealthy businessman was questioned, and the young man also died inexplicably. No one else could tell how he died.

Later, Cao county magistrate left the sad place and came to Yuqiao to take up his post.

Li Luo said: "After so many years, the county magistrate Cao probably hasn't given up yet."

I'm afraid I won't be able to let go of this kind of past for the rest of my life...

Xie Changying said flatly: "So...he hates everyone with tattoos on their bodies."

Li Luo nodded.

Although the rich businessman was hateful, the young man was equally hateful.The county magistrate Cao should have been blaming himself all the time, why did he save him, why did he keep him, why did he make him a government servant, why did he let him know his daughter...

why!

That person is a criminal!He obviously has a criminal record!

It was because I was soft-hearted for a moment...

Temporary soft-heartedness hurt her daughter.

Magistrate Cao thinks about this all the time, how many days and years he has thought about.

Li Luo said: "This was originally a thorn in his heart, but who would have thought it would be such a coincidence."

Yuqiao suddenly suffered an earthquake, and the situation was very bad, so His Majesty dispatched some coolies to help rebuild it. Almost all of these coolies were prisoners with tattoos on their bodies...

Magistrate Cao seems to have returned to the time when the nightmare started many years ago...

Li Wuzheng didn't know what to say, and said, "God's will tricks people."

Xie Changying said calmly, "So, what should we do now?"

Li Luo said: "There is nothing we can do. Cao Zhishui should have known who the murderer was, but he would not expose it. He would rather take the blame for the county magistrate Cao. So many people can prove that Cao Zhishui is a murderer, and we have no conclusive evidence It means that Cao Zhishui is not, so we can only..."

"What can I do?" Li Wuzheng asked anxiously.

Li Luo just said one word: "Wait."

"What are you waiting for?" Li Wuzheng said.

Xie Changying nodded instead, and said, "During this period, I will have people follow County Magistrate Cao secretly to prevent him from committing murder again."

"Thank you, my lord." Li Luo said, "Then let's go back to Huang's house now, there are still things that need to be resolved."

Xie Changying asked, "What is it?"

Li Luo said: "It must be a quiet night, someone should be waiting for me."

Late at night, the Huang family.

The little prince Xie Tang couldn't sleep, he heard that many things happened in Yu Qiao, and he didn't have the slightest clue about the matter at hand.

Xie Tang simply turned over and got out of bed, went out without putting on any clothes, ran to the next door, knocked on the door symbolically, pushed the door open and walked in.

Grand Tutor Han Jingting hadn't rested yet, he was sitting at the table, he didn't know what he was writing, and he didn't look up.

"Master?" Xie Tang ran over to sit beside him and said, "You haven't slept yet."

Han Jingting nodded, and said: "Why doesn't Tang'er rest, it's already late at night, if she doesn't rest, I'm afraid she won't grow taller."

Xie Tang: "..."

Xie Tang was not convinced, and said: "I am quite tall, besides... I am not tall, it is because Master always pats the top of my head! I heard that being patted on the top of the head makes it easy to not grow taller."

Han Jingting smiled and said, "So it's Master's fault."

"That's not true." Xie Tang muttered.

After Xie Tang finished speaking, he approached Han Jingting mysteriously and said, "Master, I heard that there have been many murders here recently!"

Han Jingting said: "I heard that's the case. But Tang'er should take care of the task at hand first. Otherwise, His Majesty may be displeased."

"I know." Xie Tang nodded, and said, "There is also the eldest lady of the Huang family. The body was found after ten years of death. The body is quite complete."

Han Jingting finally put down the brush in his hand.

Xie Tang said: "I've seen the corpse, it's really complete and well stored. And I found a strange place!"

"What?" Han Jingting asked.

Xie Tang whispered: "This eldest lady looks pretty good, she must have been a great beauty in her lifetime. Most importantly, the eldest lady looks a bit like Li Luo."

"Li Luo?" Han Jingting squinted his eyes, then smiled and said, "The little eunuch next to King Yingchuan? You seem to have a good relationship with him."

Han Jingting said again: "As a teacher, I don't think they look alike."

The eldest lady looks dignified and gentle, with a standard oval face, she looks very wealthy.Although Li Luo is also very good-looking, but his face is different, it is a standard oval face, and he is quite cunning when he smiles.

Xie Tang said insightfully: "They all have big eye sockets in their eyes, they look alike."

When Xie Tang said this, he suddenly pulled Han Jingting's arm and said, "By the way, Master also has big eye sockets, which are very beautiful."

Xie Tang touched his eyes again, and said, "I don't have any, they are fleshy."

Han Jingting held his hand instead, and said, "Look at your hands are cold, you ran here without clothes on, and if you are sick, I will take care of you for my teacher."

"It's very hot." Xie Tang complained.

Han Jingting simply picked him up, put him on the bed, and said: "It's covered, let's sleep here today, it's still raining outside, so I don't even need an umbrella when I come here."

"Master is sleeping too." Xie Tang said.

Han Jingting nodded, but did not lie down, saying: "Sleep when you are done with work."

It was late and there was still a light rain falling outside, Xie Tang could not stop feeling drowsy when he heard the sound of the rain, so he fell asleep.

And at this time, there were still people walking outside, holding an oil-paper umbrella in their hands, wandering non-stop...

Li Luo and the others returned to Huang's house and walked directly to the small courtyard where they stayed.

Along the way, Li Wuzheng was curious and said, "Who is waiting for you? How do you know?"

Li Luo deliberately kept it secret, but didn't tell Li Wuzheng.

They walked into the courtyard as they spoke, and saw someone standing in the courtyard holding an oil-paper umbrella.

"Mrs. Huang?!"

Li Wuzheng was taken aback, could it be Mrs. Huang who was waiting for Li Luo?In the middle of the night...

Xie Changying frowned when she saw Mrs. Huang.

Li Luo was not at all surprised to see Mrs. Huang. When Mrs. Huang was hesitating, Li Luo had already walked a few steps forward and walked in front of Mrs. Huang.

Li Luo spoke first, and said, "You have been waiting for me for so long, and it's still raining, why don't we go inside and have a cup of tea before talking."

Mrs. Huang's face was a bit complicated, she was silent for a while, and then nodded.

Li Wuzheng didn't understand what the situation was, and stood there dumbfounded.

Xie Changying heard that they were going to enter the house to talk, so she immediately followed. "Hey! My lord!"

Li Luo blocked the door of the room and said: "My lord, go back to your room and wait. I will talk to Mrs. Huang alone, and I will go to my lord later, okay?"

"No." Xie Changying said decisively.

In fact, Li Luo was just being polite, not asking for Xie Changying's consent, who would have thought that Xie Changying would really object.

Li Luo said: "..." It's shameless.

Li Luo pulled Xie Changying to the corner, began to whisper to her ear, and said, "My lord, if you follow in together, Mrs. Huang won't say anything, I have to talk to her alone!"

"Oh—" Xie Changying sneered, and said, "If I don't follow, you might be eaten by her."

"No." Li Luo said confidently, "Absolutely not."

"Why not?" Xie Changying looked Li Luo up and down, and said, "You are not as strong as Mrs. Huang looks at you."

"I..." Li Luo stared angrily, I suspected the prince's personal attack.

Li Luo said: "That's okay, my lord, you're just worrying like crazy. Think about it, I'm an eunuch!"

Xie Changying: "..." Inexplicably, every time Li Luo mentioned that he was a eunuch, he would sound very proud.

Li Luo said firmly, "Think about it, even if Mrs. Huang wants to do something, I can't do anything if I take off my pants."

Xie Changying's face was very dark, and she said in a calm voice, "You still want to take off your pants?"

"I didn't mean that!" Li Luo said.

The two muttered for a long time, but Mrs. Huang didn't urge them, she just waited quietly with a preoccupied look.

Li Wuzheng has one head and two big heads, and feels that Mrs. Huang is different today, very different, as if she is a different person.

In the end, Li Luo won the battle with his eloquence, and walked up to Mrs. Huang,
