Or it was because the contact time between Liulang and Dugu Yueyue was too short.
He was not used to it yet, nor was he ready to adapt to Dugu Yueyue's existence.
This also resulted in him still focusing on Liu Xin in many matters, without taking Dugu Yueyue's thoughts into consideration.
Dugu Yueyue looked at the two senior brothers' flirtations and felt a little funny for a moment. Even though it was their Dugu Villa's matter, she couldn't help but want to take care of it.
But after all, there are really few people in Luoshen Villa who are truly worthy of her attention.
"Liu Lang, Senior Brother Liu, don't let this matter affect our schedule. Let Chief Li know the situation. If we can help, we will help. If we can't help, that's all we can do."
Liu Xin smiled after hearing this and gave Liu Lang another look:
"Look at how considerate your Yueyue is."
Rokuro: (?˙▽˙?)
Taiyuan City, the residence of the Duke of Shu,
Liu Xin, the second son of the Duke of Shu, sat cross-legged. In front of him, an old man in sackcloth also crossed his legs.
"Senior Sikong, what does the City Lord need from me?"
"Second Young Master, the city lord has ordered the Second Young Master to move to the South China Sea."
Liu Xin was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything and nodded in agreement.
The old man in sackcloth received the reply and stood up to leave.
"Senior Sikong, please wait a moment. City Lord, there is nothing else you can bring to me?"
The old man in sackcloth was silent for a long time, then silently took out a booklet from his arms and placed it on his futon.
"The city lord has ordered that if the second young master doesn't mention it, I will take this thing back."
"Thank you, Senior Sikong, thank you City Lord!"
Liu Xin bowed respectfully.
The old man in sackcloth nodded and left.
Not long after the old man in sackcloth left, a tall, bearded man who only wore a short jacket in winter walked out from behind a pillar in the room.
His origin is not small, Kang Zisheng, the master of the Demonic Dragon Bone Cave.
Dragon Bone Cave is a demonic force within the Sichuan governor's territory. It is not weak in strength, but it has always kept a low profile.
This cave master Kang Zisheng is also a high-level Dacheng realm cultivation level.
"The King of Killing, Sikong Ziwei!"
Kang Zisheng's eyes were filled with salivation.
"What happened to the cave master?" Liu Xin asked.
Kang Zisheng was the protector assigned to him by the Duke of Shu himself, and he had been protecting him secretly.
When Liu Xin was arrested before, Kang Zisheng was by his side, but he accepted Liu Xin's instructions and did not take action, but protected him all the way.
It was not until later that Liu Xin was released.
"Sikong Ziwei's extensive training has reached the state of perfection of muscles, bones and flesh. His bones and blood are the best introduction to improving my bones! It's a pity that I can't take action against him!"
"Don't worry, Cave Master, there will be a chance!"
"Hehe, let me borrow the good words from the second young master!"
"Get ready, let's go to Nanhai!"
.
As sunset approached that day, Manager Li returned to the inn.
At this time, Liu Xin, Liu Lang, Dugu Yueyue and Fan Sisi were discussing the follow-up arrangements.
"Mr. Li, you're welcome. What do the officials say?"
Dugu Yueyue personally handed Director Li a cup of tea, and Director Li was extremely grateful.
"Miss, the local government magistrate and state magistrate met with the villain in person and told some details about the case.
An autopsy has so far found no evidence of homicide or poisoning in the body.
The burning of the building boats was also very strange. Some charcoal ingredients were found, but only a small amount. In winter, these building boats would store some charcoal for use.
On the contrary, the person drinking with this envoy was Yi Xiaoxing, the second son of Anlu Marquis Yi Yingjia, the commander of Wuchang City.
The Second Young Master Yi left the building boat last night and went all the way to Wuchang. "
"Go straight to Wuchang." Liu Xin frowned. He didn't know much information now, so it seemed he had to go and check it out himself.
"Director Li, can you arrange for us to conduct an autopsy?"
Liu Xin directly expressed his needs.
"Okay, okay, I've already said hello to the governor of this place. However, the morgue is a dirty place. With your status as a young lady, it's best not to go there."
Just as Dugu Yueyue was about to speak, Liulang had already taken the lead.
"Senior brother and I can just go."
Dugu Yueyue looked at Liulang, and Liulang also looked at him, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Liu Xin and Liu Lang took advantage of the fact that it was still dark, and led by Chief Li to the government morgue.
After a brief inspection, it turned out to be six charred corpses.
There are four female corpses inside, they should be maids and servants on the boat.
The other two male corpses were both strong and strong, but it was impossible to tell which one was the envoy from Luoshen Villa, while the other one should be the envoy's escort.
After leaving the morgue, the sky was getting dark. Manager Li and Liu Xin walked along the Yangtze River. There were lights on boats on the river again, completely unaffected by what had happened on the river.
"Mr. Li, do you know the identity of this emissary from Luoshen Villa?"
Walking on the road, Liu Xin asked casually.
Director Li immediately responded: "This envoy is from Mo Pavilion, and his surname is Liao. I don't know about the other villains. I only received the envoy Liao on the day he came, and he has been letting him since then. I will be accompanied by my subordinates. The villain is busy with his affairs, and the envoy Liao bluntly said that he does not need the companion of the villain, so he is not very familiar with the messenger Liao."
"Oh, that's right."
Liu Xin responded and stopped talking.
In just a few words, Manager Li completely eliminated his involvement in this matter.
I didn't even receive him. How or why he died, I don't know anything.
Liu Xin turned his head and looked towards the Yangtze River, with a playful smile on his lips.
"By the way, Chief Li. Are you familiar with Yi Xiaoxing, the son of the commander of Wuchang City? Mr. Yi's second son, Chief Li?"
Manager Li thought for a moment and said, "I know a little about the Second Young Master Yi. Although this Second Young Master Yi is the son of Marquis Anlu, he is not the most beloved one. Besides, he is not the eldest son, so there is no hope for the future." To pass on the title, it was natural to eat, drink and have fun, and became a second-generation ancestor.
But Marquis Anlu still thought of the Second Young Master Yi and gave him a lot of business, including the lumber business with our Luoshen Villa. Relying on these businesses, I can be considered as having no worries about food and clothing in this life. "
"Then does Second Young Master Yi often stay here?" Liu Xin continued to ask.
"Although the city here is small, it is because of the small space and cheap warehouses. In addition, it only takes two or three days to get to Wuchang by going down the river. Not only our Luoshen Villa, but also many other merchants have set up their bases here. .
Second Young Master Yi basically stays here. "
As they walked, Manager Li told almost everything he knew, and Rokuro felt that Manager Li was very cooperative.
But when he reached a narrow alley by the river somewhere, Liu Xin suddenly stopped. Manager Li also stopped and turned to look at Liu Xin with some confusion.
Although Liu Lang also had doubts in his heart, at this moment, he felt the faint murderous intention emanating from Liu Xin. He immediately started to make arrangements without any communication with Liu Xin.
"Mr. Li, is there anything else you know about this building and boat case that you are not reporting and hiding from us?"
Liu Xin looked at Chief Li with burning eyes. Chief Li's palms in his sleeves trembled slightly, but his face did not change, but showed doubts.
"Mr. Liu, what are you talking about? I've already told the young lady and Mr. Liu everything I know. Is there anything else I've missed?"
Liu Xin nodded, seemingly satisfied with the other party's answer, but continued to ask:
"I can't talk about omissions. It's just that I still have some doubts. I hope Director Li can help me clear up my doubts."
There was doubt in Mr. Li's eyes, but he said, "Master Liu, please tell me."
"After the incident happened to Envoy Liao, Chief Li came to find us immediately, so did he send a message back to Luoshen Villa? I think there should be a way to send urgent messages to Luoshen Villa here."
A trace of panic flashed in Manager Li's eyes, but he quickly replied: "Well, I have already sent people to rush back to Luoshen Villa."
"Huh? Hurry up? So how did Luoshen Villa notify the envoys to rush back?
The business of Luoshen Villa is spread all over the world. Do you need to use fast horses to recall? Isn't there a faster way? "
"Well, this place is just a small town, and communication relies on fast horses..."
"But I remember that Chief Li said before that this place is in a strategic location. It is where all the major merchants are stationed. It is an important place. Although the city is small, its importance is not small."
"..." Principal Li was speechless when asked, unable to refute for a while.
At this moment, Liu Xin finally saw:
"The reason why the building boat burned so fast and the corpses were burned to coke must be because the fire on the building boat was fierce and the temperature was extremely high. But on the Yangtze River, the building boat was made of solid wood, how could it burn so quickly? into ashes.
If you want to talk about burning wood, among Luoshen Villa, Mo Ge should be the best at it. "
"Well, ah, I don't know what Mr. Liu is talking about." The panic on Master Li's face could not be concealed at this time, and even Liulang could directly tell that something was wrong.
Silently, Liu Lang quietly appeared in the direction where Chief Li could evacuate.
"Master Li said before that the envoy from Luoshen Villa must be from Mo Pavilion. And you, Master Li, must also be from Mo Pavilion!"
This sentence shocked Master Li and Liu Lang at the same time, but the former could no longer hide the look of horror on his face.
"It seems I was right, Mr. Li, is the deceased on the boat really the envoy Liao?"
Liu Xin took two steps forward and rushed towards Director Li with a strong momentum.
Manager Li subconsciously used the mechanism hidden in his cuffs, and saw a short crossbow arrow shot from Manager Li's shoulder, heading straight for Liu Xin's door.
Unfortunately, as soon as the crossbow arrow on Master Li's shoulder was shot, it suddenly bent in the air and finally returned to Master Li's body.
"Well!"
Manager Li screamed in pain and subconsciously tried to cover the shoulder hit by the crossbow with his right hand, but he was shocked to find that he was out of control.
Not just the arms, but the body, the legs, and the neck.
[Crowing of cocks and thieves of dogs] The technique of trapping!
Liu Lang's fingers kept moving, and the shadowless threads had completely tied up Principal Li.
"Mr. Li, let's have a good chat now, and stop hiding it."
Liu Xin continued to walk forward, looking down at Director Li and said.
Manager Li's face was covered with cold sweat, and a deep dent appeared on his Adam's apple, which became deeper and deeper as time went by.
"I...I said!"
As soon as Mr. Li finished speaking, the thread in his throat suddenly loosened, and he immediately started coughing dryly.
Liu Xin waited for a moment leisurely, and then Manager Li regained his composure, and then said with panic in his eyes:
"Mr. Liu, you can actually see..."
"Stop talking nonsense, I don't want to waste too much time here!"
Manager Li immediately showed a look of helplessness, his eyes struggled for a moment, and then he said:
"At midnight last night, before the boat caught fire, Messenger Liao found me..."
"Before the fire broke out, the person who died on the ship was not Messenger Liao?" Liu Lang said in surprise.
Manager Li nodded bitterly and continued:
"I don't know the specific situation. I only know that Messenger Liao came to me in the early morning and said that he accidentally killed the second son of Anlu Marquis, Mr. Yi.
Then he set fire to the boat. He asked me to help him find a way, so I came up with a trick and asked him to pretend to be the second son of Yi and leave here. Then he set fire to the ship and burned it to ashes. Death has no evidence. "
"Did you burn the boat?" Liu Xin asked, looking at Director Li.
Manager Li nodded.
"What did you use to burn the boat?" Liu Xin asked.
"It's a kind of charcoal fire brought by Messenger Liao. It's not charcoal, but it's more powerful than charcoal, and it can't be extinguished even after it burns!"
Liu Xin looked at Chief Li, and judging from the latter's expression, it didn't look like he was lying.
"Is there any charcoal fire left?"
"The matter was urgent, and I didn't know if the charcoal fire was as useful as Messenger Liao said, so I just used it all. I didn't expect that the firepower would be so strong.
That night, I didn't see how big the fire was on the building boat. As a result, early this morning, the boat had been burned to ashes.
Those corpses were thrown directly into the charcoal fire, so they became like charcoal. "
Liu Xin frowned, wrote down everything Chief Li said, and then continued to ask:
"What is the identity of Messenger Liao? You are also from Mo Pavilion. You should know the identity of Messenger Liao."
Manager Li's eyes were panicked for a moment, and then he said: "Envoy Liao's real name is Liao Xintian, and he is the nephew of the master of Mo Pavilion."
Xu Tingyang’s nephew!
There was a flash of light in Liu Xin's eyes. Xu Tingyang died in the hands of Dugu Sheng. The position of the leader of Mo Pavilion was vacant. There was probably an internal fight.
Unless ordered by Dugu Shidao.
However, even if he is appointed by Dugu Shidao, the master of Mo Pavilion will definitely do something to show his loyalty.
Coupled with the usual tactics used by superiors to eliminate dissidents, Liao Xintian, the nephew of the former master of Mo Pavilion, probably will not get good results.
So what happened on the boat was not just an accident, but something that had been planned for a long time.
Liu Xin discovered that Chief Li was unusual because his identity was clearly written on the attribute panel of the other party. He was a disciple of Mo Pavilion and an overseas chief.
Manager Li did not know that Liu Xin could know his identity, so he did not conceal Liao Xintian's identity.
This was also the beginning of Liu Xin's doubts.
Then he reviewed the whole thing again, and more and more doubts appeared in Liu Xin's mind.
The most important thing is why the building caught fire. If it was really Young Master Yi, with the latter's ability, it would not be difficult to hide something here.
In any case, he is also the son of a commander. There must be experts around him and the corresponding manpower to handle this kind of thing.
He will not set fire to the ship and destroy the corpses.
And if it is aimed at Luoshen Villa, the possibility is even smaller.
If you want to target Luoshen Villa, you must at least touch someone with status like Dugu Yueyue.
What's the use of touching a little person.
He is just a foreign envoy, and he has hundreds of tokens in Luoshen Villa.
Such a status is certainly high for ordinary Jianghu people or a small town like this.
But to use such people to target Luoshen Villa would be a bit of a joke.
Liao Xintian’s status is far from qualified!
After much deliberation, Liu Xin felt that it was unreasonable, and it seemed more reasonable only if the identities were reversed.
Liao Xintian and Mr. Yi had an argument for some unknown reason, killed someone by mistake, and then concealed it with the help of Chief Li.
Although there are some doubts in it, all you need to do is blow up Chief Li.
Things went as smoothly as Liu Xin expected. There was only one explosion and Manager Li explained everything.
Of course, the most important thing is that Liu Xin penetrated the other party's identity.
Chief Li has been working as a dispatched chief for ten years. Many disciples of Luoshen Villa who worked with him did not know his original identity. Liu Xin was able to tell the truth with one sentence, making him think that Liu Xin had understood everything he had done. .
Liu Lang admired Liu Xin even more at this time.
"Senior brother, it's a pity that you don't want to be a royal guard!"
"Okay, stop complimenting me, take Chief Li back first and let Yueyue interrogate him."
"Yue...Yueyue? Dugu!" When Director Li heard Liu Xin's words, a look of shock suddenly appeared in his eyes.
He has received these young people for so long, and he also thought that they would be the direct descendants of several major forces of the younger generation in Luoshen Villa.
Because things are really busy, Luoshen Villa has changed its owner, and many things need to be clarified, so I have not been able to pay attention to the true identities of these young people.
I really didn't expect that it was Dugu Yueyue.
The granddaughter of Dugu Shidao!
For the current Luoshen Villa, the two young people with the most noble status are Dugu Xuanqing and Dugu Yueyue.
Manager Li now feels very regretful.
If he had known it was Dugu Yueyue, why would he have helped Liao Xintian.
So what about the nephew of the master of the Mo Pavilion? The master of the Mo Pavilion died in the battle. Even if he didn't die, how could Liao Xintian's identity be as good as Dugu Yueyue's case?
Now I couldn't hold him in my lap, I got into trouble, and most importantly, I was caught in the act.
Mr. Li is beyond love.
After taking him back to the inn and explaining the whole story clearly, Dugu Yueyue simply went to find the deputy chief here, explained the situation, and asked him to take Mr. Li back to Luoshen Villa to return to his life.
As for Liao Xintian, let Luoshen Villa handle it on its own.
For Dugu Yueyue, it is enough to understand that external forces are not dealing with Luoshen Villa.
She didn't care about these small internal cases.
The deputy director was overjoyed, and the excitement on his face could not be concealed.
This time, ten years of hard work will be saved!
Moreover, he still accepted Dugu Yueyue's order to do things, which is amazing. Maybe the rest of his life will be changed because of this.
The deputy director was in high spirits on happy occasions, and since he was working for Dugu Yueyue, he arranged the boat early the next morning.
Liu Xin and others boarded the ship directly and set off southward at noon.
At noon, a huge official ship on the Yangtze River was sailing slowly in the river, and the gongs and drums on it were noisy.
Rokuro pulled Liu Xin out of the cabin with excitement on his face, which disturbed Liu Xin's interest in practicing.
Although there is [Star Transformation], even if Liu Xin only absorbs the power of the stars at night, it is enough to offset a day's hard training of a warrior of the same level, but he feels that people still have to work hard and forge ahead.
As a result, I finally got into the state and was disturbed.
"Senior Brother Liu, it seems to be a lion awakening competition, a specialty of the South China Sea!"
Dugu Yueyue and Fan Sisi were already on the deck at this time. The four of them watched the official ship slowly approaching in the distance. Two lions of different colors on it were fighting with a big cabbage hanging high in the middle.
This name is: Caiqing.
