From the bottom of the cliff, on the way back to Hexi Mansion, Gong Jiu pounded and poked all the way.

...Talking about poking, poking, poking, really beautifies Gong Jiu's actions.

Sometimes he would take out the silver needles from Mo Qi's sleeves, play with them a few times, and lightly poke the acupuncture points on Mo Qi's body; or when climbing a cliff, Consciously or unintentionally blocking Mo Qi's next step, trying to make him unable to find a place to rely on, it's better to fall down and die.

For Mo Qi, although these are all harmless little pranks (?), they are also a real headache.

This kind of petty poking and poking continued until they returned to Hexi Mansion, and it didn't stop.

Gongsun Ce, Bao Zheng and the others, after hearing Zhan Zhao's joyful shout, also rushed out from the magistrate's office, and greeted Mo Qi and Gong Jiu who had not returned for many days at the door: "You are finally back— ——What is this son doing?"

Gongsun Ce stared at Gong Jiu in surprise.

Gong Jiu calmly withdrew the silver needle that was going to be pierced into Mo Qi's head, and stuffed it into Mo Qi's arms indiscriminately, as if nothing happened.

Mo Qi also felt helpless against him, and felt that both of them ate the soil fruit, but he was the only one who saw Gong Jiu... Cough, he looked a little embarrassed, it seemed that it was really unfair.

He thought about it but couldn't figure it out, so he could only put the silver needle back into his sleeve in a good-tempered manner.As long as I am the kind of beautiful and fierce snow fox raised in Huaxue Pond, if I get scratched by its hairy claws every now and then, I can just treat it as the fox master's coquettishness.

Mo Qi was in a good state of mind, and he didn't feel anything about it, but his silent appearance, reflected in the eyes of other people, inevitably gave him a bit of humiliation.

Zhan Zhao suddenly felt the same worry as Hu Tiehua: This is because the Taoist priest has a too good temper.Otherwise, who can stand the tossing and tossing of Prince Taiping?

Mo Qi, who was still ignorant of everyone's misunderstanding, was at a loss when he saw Zhan Zhao's encouraging and sympathetic gaze: ...?

He thought cautiously in his heart: I always feel that since the trip to Yumen Pass, people have looked at me a little strangely... Is there something wrong with me?

Mo Qi was confused.

Bao Zheng was the first to break the inexplicable atmosphere of gossip in the air, and said solemnly: "Where have you been? Do you know that we have been looking for you for three full days!"

Zhan Zhao also pulled his mind back from his brain, nodded in agreement and said, "Yes! If you didn't believe in the strength of you and Shizi, you wouldn't be killed so easily. Mr. Gongsun almost included you as the dead in this case. The roster is up." Zhan Zhao looked Mo Qi's tattered Taoist robe up and down, and couldn't help being surprised, "Could it be——you really met a great master?"

Mo Qi shook his head, and took out the map he found on Li Hu's door panel from his arms: "Gong Jiu and I followed the map left by Li Hu and found the remaining deceased in this case. They have all been arrested. Li Hu restrained the body and buried it on the spot."

Gongsun Ce's expression became serious: "Go in quickly, change your clothes, and tell us in detail."

·

·

"...This soil fruit is so miraculous?" Zhan Zhao couldn't help but be amazed after hearing what Gong Jiu had said about the past few days, "I've never heard of it before."

Gongsun Ce carefully thought about what Gong Jiu said about Tuguo, "I always feel that this sounds familiar? I should have read it in the local chronicles of Hexi..." He raised his hand annoyed Patted his head, "I can't remember it all at once, I'll check it later."

"Please trouble Mr. Gongsun." Bao Zheng nodded and said, "It's really a great fortune for the Taoist priest and the son to turn the danger into a blessing. More importantly, the news you brought this time has finally made the case clear." The fog has a faint vein."

"Those men in black should be the murderers who killed those 'inhumans' who died. Those 'inhumans' are not real aliens, but were forcibly fed by the men in black to test the medicine. He died of poisoning, and he just turned into the appearance we saw." Bao Zheng said thoughtfully, "It's no wonder that after the yamen's notice was posted, few people came to claim it. We still think it's the family members of the deceased who care about face. , just now cruelly refused to recognize the corpse."

Zhan Zhao nodded: "Yes! The notice posted by the yamen said that the corpses belonged to other people. The dead were just ordinary people. When the family saw the notice, they would naturally not think that the dead would be their own family members. Who Can you imagine that after they disappear, they will encounter such unexpected disasters and suddenly become strangers?"

Bao Zheng said to Mr. Mei: "Quickly ask someone to change the announcement and make it clear that anyone whose family members are missing will come to the government office."

Master Mei gave orders immediately.

Mo Qi: "Those who died due to the experimental medicine are not only those who are lying in the morgue now, but also those who are buried in the dense forest. The changes after taking the soil fruit are very obvious on men, but not on women. There will be no suspicion."

Gong Jiu narrowed her eyes: "...you mean, those Le Niangs who had a drink with us earlier?"

After being reminded like this, everyone also remembered what they said to the drunk Le Niang in the banquet restaurant the day they first came to Hexi.

Come to think of it, what Le Niang said, the sisters who were redeemed and then discarded after pregnancy, and finally froze to death alive, probably didn't actually freeze to death during pregnancy, but were fed soil and fruits to death.

"Those men in black didn't dare to act so recklessly and obviously at the beginning. They should have pretended to be wealthy businessmen and went to the brothel to buy low-class women to test the medicine. This is the safest, after all, they were bought back After returning home, they will naturally be raised in the back house, and it is normal to not show up for a long time. Even if they have actually died for several months due to drug testing, no one will doubt it." Mo Qi said in a low voice.

Gong Jiu held on to the folding fan in his hand, and tapped on his palm: "It seems that it is Li Hu who told those Le Niangs that their sisters did not live in the back house, but abandoned their corpses in the dense forest after 'pregnant'."

Zhan Zhao couldn't help sighing: "Doing good deeds invites evil, the law of heaven is not fair."

"If that's the case, then these men in black should have only one purpose, which is to find the correct method of brewing soil and fruit as soon as possible, so they arrest different people to test the medicine, and kill Li Hu to silence them. But for Tao Zhifu... I Guess what Taoist Mo said is correct. The person who killed Tao Zhifu and the man in black must not be companions." Gongsun Ce said with certainty.

"Why are you so sure?" Gong Jiufeng turned his eyes, and his eyes fell on Gongsun Ce.

Gongsun Ce stood up and led everyone to the back hall.It had been transformed into a small morgue by him, and the corpse of Tao Zhifu was placed inside.

The door curtain was lifted, and a stench rushed towards him.

Gong Jiu got his wish and saw the flash of forbearance and restraint on Mo Qi's face, and his mood suddenly brightened: "Mr. Gongsun, please speak quickly, otherwise the Taoist priest will probably spit it out here."

Gongsun Ce was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but glanced at Mo Qi's face, quickly quickened his pace, walked to the corpse, and uncovered the white cloth.

"During the time you have been away, I have already experienced Tao Zhifu's corpse." Gongsun Ce pointed with his fingers, and explained carefully and quickly, "In addition to fatal injuries, there are actually other traces, but in the swollen corpse In some cases, it's not very obvious."

Gongsun Ce pointed to Tao Zhifu's lower body: "I found some sperm spots on his lower body. Although it was dealt with afterward, there are still some remnants. It should be that he had sex with the same sex before his death. .”

Zhan Zhao stood at the end of the crowd, scratching his ears uncomfortably, his young and immature face couldn't help but flush, his eyes flicked around, not knowing where to look.

Zhan Shaoxia followed Bao Zheng to investigate the case not long after he came out of the rivers and lakes. Basically, when he went out, it was either a small case or a major case.He hadn't even held the girl's hand yet!When listening to Gongsun Ce talk about these things familiarly, the inexperienced Shaoxia Zhan inevitably felt a little uncomfortable.

Like Zhan Zhao, Master Mei stood at the outermost edge of the crowd. When he saw the white cloth being lifted, he frowned indiscernibly. He turned his face to the side, just in time to see Zhan Zhao scratching his ears frivolously. smiled lightly.

Zhan Zhao has sharp ears and eyesight, and Master Mei was standing beside him again, he naturally heard the chuckle clearly, and the roots of his ears immediately turned red with embarrassment.

Not only Zhan Zhao, but Mo Qi is also not at ease.But as far as his face is as stable as Mount Tai, no one except Gong Jiu who has been staring at him can see his jade-white ear tips hidden under the temples, and a touch of pink has quietly popped up.

Mo Qi's voice was still steady and powerful, and no one could tell that the owner of the voice was blushing: "Didn't you force it?"

Gongsun Ce shook his head: "There is no wound, so it shouldn't be forced. But it may be, after all, there are some medicines that can temporarily lose the ability to resist..."

Gong Jiu looked back and asked Junshi Mei who was standing at the farthest end with a somewhat indifferent face: "Master Mei, Tao Zhifu has such hobbies, do you know?" ——Looking at your expression, I think I know it.”

Master Mei drooped his eyelids, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow on his delicate face.

Gong Nine Folding Fan leisurely tapped on the palm of his hand: "It seems that Master Mei still has a story to tell."

·

The magistrate's office, Master Mei's study.

"You—are you a stranger too?" Gongsun Ce looked at Master Mei who had taken off his shirt in surprise.

On his thin and pale chest, cloth strips were wrapped in layers, trying to straighten the raised curve.

Gongsun Ce's expression showed some disapproval: "Long-term chest tightness will cause chest tightness and qi deficiency, which is not good for your health."

Master Mei put his belt back on very calmly: "I've been like this since I was a child, I'm used to it."

"I used a belt to hide the difference between me and ordinary men. I went to school and practiced..." Master Mei recalled, "Although I can't stand out and take the imperial examination, I can still do some decent jobs in my former residence. Yes. But one day... Tao Zhifu—oh, he was just a small county magistrate at that time—he accidentally discovered my secret, and he used it to blackmail me into doing such inappropriate things with him. "

Zhan Zhao sat on the chair and rubbed his butt nervously.

Master Mei said coldly: "Of course I don't agree. He threatened to make my anomaly known to the public, telling me to shamelessly go out again, and suffer from discrimination and indifference from others everywhere. Although I was young and weak, I couldn't beat him." , but luckily enough brains."

"I asked him, does he always want to be a county magistrate in this poor and remote place? If he still has the ambition of a man and wants to climb up, then I can help him. I can do it His master, but he must respect me and must not humiliate me with such indecent things."

Bao Zheng frowned upon hearing this.

Because in his memory, Tao Zhifu has always been a good official, and his achievements have made him look sideways, and he even praised him in front of the little emperor, but he did not expect that he was such a person behind his back.

Bao Zheng suddenly thought of a question: "In the past few years, Tao Zhifu has been promoted all the way, and the achievements he has made—"

Master Mei smiled calmly: "Of course I did it."

Zhan Zhao sat on the chair, frowning fiercely in annoyance.

Gongsun Ce's reaction was rather peaceful. He pondered for a while: "Looking at the condition of the corpse, Tao Zhifu should be the one below. Did he ever—"

"He will never be the one below." Master Mei said bluntly, "Although he really doesn't try to get me to do this kind of thing anymore, but when he goes to the Nanfeng Pavilion, he always picks the one below. waiter."

"When he was doing this kind of thing, he liked to use... special things, very rough, and even pulled me by the side several times, forcing me to watch."

Touch, Tao Zhifu naturally won't touch Master Mei.But Tao Zhifu is very familiar with this kind of side-ball that is full of humiliation and obscenity.

Zhan Zhao said angrily, "What a dirty villain!"

"In that case, Tao Zhifu should indeed be drugged." Gongsun Ce frowned, "The murderer was so brutal, and even desecrated the dead body in such an insulting way, could it be that he was actually an eye for an eye, an eye for an eye? revenge?"

Master Mei was stunned for a moment: "...I thought that Tao Zhifu's death and Yiren's death were caused by the same group of people. I haven't thought about this possibility... Now it seems that Mr. Gongsun's guess is very likely."

Gongsun Ce hesitated for a moment: "Then... according to what Master Mei said, there will be enmity with Tao Zhifu..."

Master Mei curled the corners of his lips coldly: "Mr. Gongsun just wanted to ask, could it be some young men who have been tortured by him did it?"

Gongsun Ce said embarrassingly: "It's not the same, maybe there are other people who were appointed by Tao Zhifu..."

A trace of disgust and tiredness appeared on Master Mei's face: "Who would be willing to suffer this kind of torture if there is a way to resist him? If these people had a way to kill him, they would have done so long ago. "

They have no choice at all.

The atmosphere in the study condensed down.

Bao Zheng was about to open his mouth, making a bad face, and asked Master Mei to name those people who were humiliated by Tao Zhifu, but Mo Qi spoke before him: "Then when you saw Tao Zhifu for the last time, did he ever I said, where are you going? What are you going to do?"

Master Mei was willing to answer this question: "He said he was going to the barracks. Vice General Shi said that he and General Mu had prepared a good meal..."

Master Mei's face instantly became ugly.

delicacies.

Zhan Zhao looked at Master Mei's expression worriedly: "What's wrong?"

Master Mei's eyes were as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cave: "...When I came to Hexi to have fun, Tao Zhifu always went with Deputy General Shi and General Mu." He curled up his lips, "'The high mountains and flowing waters coincide with bosom friends', the tastes of these three people are very similar."

So what does this "delicacy" mean?

Mo Qi and Gong Jiu exchanged glances.

They invariably thought of the little soldier who stumbled out of Deputy General Shi's tent when they first went to the barracks, and the pretty-looking messenger, Flower General, who was in the wooden general's tent.

Bao Zheng was stunned and furious, and slapped his palm on the desk.

"What a deputy general Shi, what a good general Mu, what a great Song's 'Big Boy'!"

·

·

When Deputy General Shi was held down by the soldiers pouring into the tent, there was a soldier whose clothes he had torn naked lying under him.

The Hexi Army under Bao Xiang's order, their lazy eyes were as sharp as sharp wolf teeth, and they shaved the naked, naked body with hatred, revealing a disgusting and ferocious Deputy General Shi.

The lieutenant who rushed in at the head kicked Vice General Shi away immediately, raised his hand and wrapped his soldiers in quilts, and showed an expression of undisguised hatred towards Vice General Shi who was pinned down on the ground .

Deputy General Shi was so frightened that he had already wilted. He instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he was still struggling: "What are you doing?! It's against you! Let me go!"

The school lieutenant with a thick back and waist glared at him angrily. He came up and sat down on Vice General Shi's stomach, clenched his fists with his big hands, his veins bulged, and slammed him on the face unceremoniously, cursing as he slammed: " Lao Tzu? You are my fucking grandson! Bah, grandpa, I don’t want a bastard grandson like you! How dare you rape me! You are fucking finished! Wait to die!”

When the captain was hurriedly pushed away by Zhan Zhao, he kicked his legs angrily, like a mad wolf: "Damn it, you dare to do it again. Grandpa, I can't beat you to death! Dare to touch my soldiers!"

The captain turned around and scolded Xiao Bing again: "You just let him bully?! Are you a fucking man, won't you tell me?!"

After he finished cursing, he looked at his soldier's speechless appearance, and then at his small body, and couldn't help but slap himself hard.

He hates it!

How could he blame his soldiers?If Bao Xiang doesn't come, so what if Xiaobing told him?He is only a school captain, does he dare to rush to the deputy general's tent to save people?

He dare not think.He didn't dare to think how many other soldiers had suffered such humiliation when he didn't know it.

The man from Hexi should be galloping on the battlefield, covered with blood, and sweeping away the heads of thousands of troops with one shot!how come--

how come--

The lieutenant's eyes were filled with hatred, it was useless to hate himself, it was useless to hate the little soldier, and to hate that Deputy General Shi was despicable and dirty. In the end, it could only turn into a line of hot tears, which silently flowed into his stubble.

Zhan Zhao felt uncomfortable watching, and his throat became sore: "At this time, Mr. Bao will definitely find justice for everyone!"

Deputy General Shi was imprisoned.

General Mu was also imprisoned next door to him.

However, General Hua didn't do what Master Mei and the others thought. When General Mu was taken away, he even instinctively rushed forward to stop the Hexi Army who came to arrest General Mu.

When Mo Qi and Gong Jiu escorted General Mu back to the governor's mansion all the way, General Hua kept begging to follow, and repeatedly said that he was General Mu's messenger, and he stayed by General Mu's side almost from morning to night. He can testify that General Mu has never humiliated any Hexi Army.

"Kemei... Some people say that General Mu often goes to the small museum together with Tao Zhifu and Deputy General Shi?" Gongsun Ce asked doubtfully.

Hua Jiang really followed all the way to the magistrate's office, saying that he was an important witness, and he must prove General Mu's innocence to Mr. Bao face to face.

Hua Jiang's snow-white face was instantly flushed, and he whispered: "Well, I don't know, but as long as General Mu is in the barracks, I will always be by his side. I really have never seen him force... Force any soldier, I can testify."

The flower general said again: "I know that Vice General Shi has a habit of that, but General Mu has been intentionally stopping me from meeting with Vice General Shi alone!"

Bao Zheng hesitated for a moment: "If that's true..."

Although this is not very humane, but if General Mu is only in the small pavilion...he is really not good at punishing General Mu's crimes.

Bao Zheng said: "We will collect the evidence ourselves. If it is true, we will put General Mu back. You don't have to worry, this matter will be clear tonight."

Hua Jiang's face beamed with joy: "Then thank you, Bao Xiang!"

Zhan Zhao looked up at the side and was conflicted for a long time, but he still couldn't help leaning over and asked the general in a low voice, "General Mu, did he touch you, cough, did he touch you?"

Hua Jiang's face suddenly turned red: "That, that was... I touched it before."

But looking at Hua Jiang like this, I'm afraid this is also a mutual affection, and Bao Zheng can't interfere with this matter.

Bao Zheng waved his hands tiredly: "Go back to the camp quickly! You have finished asking all the necessary questions, and if you stay outside the barracks for no reason, you will be punished when you go back!"

Gongsun Ce saw through what Hua General was most concerned about, and said softly, "If what you said is true, then General Mu will be able to return to the barracks tonight."

Hua Jiang immediately smiled and left happily.

Bao Zheng couldn't help but let out another long sigh.

Mo Qi glanced at Bao Zheng: "Lord Bao?"

Bao Zheng said sadly: "Young man, soldier. Daoist, who do you think hates Tao Zhifu the most, so that he commits such a murderous case?"

These were really the two kinds of people he least wanted to suspect.

"They are all poor people." Gongsun Ce sighed, "Rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry. This Tao Zhifu, alas."

The one who died deserved it.

In the magistrate's study, the atmosphere was heavy, and everyone's faces were frowning.

"Dong dong."

Suddenly, the door of the study was knocked twice.

A familiar voice that gave people headaches came in.

"I see your patrolman running up—but he's not going fast enough."

Yelu Ruyu was wearing a dark green shirt, which made his facial features gloomy and handsome, and the mole between his eyebrows was bright red.It's just that lingering feeling of gloom washed away any good feelings that could be aroused by this handsome face.

Just as Bao Zheng sat down, he stood up again in shock: "His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince? Why are you here?!"

Yelu Ruyu acted as if he hadn't heard Bao Zheng's words, his eyes fell straight on Mo Qi: "You Song people are really interesting, I have only been here for a few days, and I have seen many corpses of you Song people gone."

"I'm afraid you saw quite a few corpses of the Liao army." Gong Jiudun felt that his territory was coveted, and immediately stabbed him in a cold tone.

Yelu Ruyu turned a deaf ear and still looked at Mo Qi: "I see——if the patrolman runs over, I'm afraid those children would have died long ago. I'm kind by nature, and I can't bear to see such a cruel scene...so I'll take his place. Come here and give you a message."

Mo Qi's jaw tightened: "What news."

Yelu Ruyu raised his hand—everyone found out that he also got a folding fan on his hand—and pointed to the southeast: “Over there, a mob arrested several foreign children and said they were going to skin them alive , offering sacrifices to the gods!"
