The atmosphere at the scene was a little heavy for a moment.
"Brother Li, go ahead. The burning of Leping Village has something to do with this, right?" Huo Yuanji looked at Li Fei.
Li Fei nodded slowly,
"My father was a failed scholar at the time. When he saw that the government was so greedy for disaster relief food funds, he went to the state capital to file a complaint. As a result..." Before Li Fei could finish his words, Huo Yuanji already understood.
It is impossible for the governor of Bozhou not to be afraid of Lehou, his uncle, so the result can be imagined.
"As a result, my father was thrown into prison for false accusations, and my mother was kidnapped by the traitor in the name of a relative of the criminal. My mother sent me to the uncle's house next door in advance and escaped." Li Fei's tone. He became more and more excited, and his eyes were slightly red.
"A few days later, the news of my mother's death came out. It was said that she hit a pillar in the traitor's house and died." Huo Yuanji and Lin Feifei sighed.
Tang Fengling was filled with indignation. As she clenched her fists tightly, a wave of internal energy spread out. Thief Saint didn't have any obvious changes in his expression.
But judging from the increasingly cold air around him, his heart was not at peace either. Huo Yuanji decided to report the matter truthfully to Jiulong Mansion.
"Then what?" He looked at Li Fei. Li Fei's eyes were slightly red.
"Later, the government began to distribute food grains, but because of my father, Lepingzhuang became the only village among the surrounding villages that did not receive relief grains. So overnight, my father and I became the bane of Lepingzhuang. ." Huo Yuanji raised his eyebrows,
"Distribute food? Since you are already greedy, how can you let go of the food distribution because it targets Leping Village?" Li Fei sneered,
"Because the food distributed is not relief food, but old and rotten grain mixed with bran that is piled up in the county granary, and each village does not distribute much." Huo Yuanji could no longer bear the pain in his heart. Angry.
"Old and rotten grain? Wouldn't that kill people? And bran, is that really something people can eat?" Li Fei looked at Huo Yuanji.
"It seems that Brother Huo was born in a wealthy family and has never been hungry." Huo Yuanji nodded lightly.
"Indeed." Li Fei smiled.
"Brother Huo, when a person is hungry, even bark and grass roots can be eaten to satisfy his hunger, let alone rotten grain and bran?"
"But Brother Huo, you are right. Those things will indeed kill people, but compared to starving to death, it is still better."
"So, even if it was just this kind of thing, people in the village still complained that my father was nosy, causing them to not receive food. I was bullied several times by the children in the village because of this. So later, the village chief The trustee sent me to Anping Village, and it is precisely because of this that I was able to escape."
"You mean, Leping Village was burned down because your father wanted to accuse Liu Kong of embezzling money for disaster relief?" Huo Yuanji felt something was wrong.
With Liu Kong's courage and government, it is unlikely that he would do such a crazy thing for this reason.
And with Qi Yunsheng's situation, it is unlikely that he would target a small village because of this kind of thing. So there must be something hidden in this.
Li Fei shook his head,
"I know what Brother Huo means, and I have my doubts. But that's all I know." Huo Yuanji nodded and stood up to leave.
Although the events of that year were not fully investigated this time, the gains were not small. At least he now knows that after killing Min Lin and Liu Kong, the murderer has no intention of stopping just yet because he still has a third target to kill.
Lehou Qi Yunsheng was the culprit who caused the tragedy in Leping Village back then! …………from discovery
Three days have passed since "Liu Kong"'s body was found. Gongsun still has no way to confirm the identity of the body.
Even if the ladies who invited Liu Kong were faced with the unrecognizable charred corpse, it would be difficult to tell that it was their husband Liu Kong.
Therefore, in this regard, it is temporarily at a deadlock. After chatting with Chen Yutian, Gongsun buried himself in the study and has not come out until now.
"What are you doing, sir?" Han Tong looked at the closed study door, curious. Lin Tao on the side shook his head,
"I don't know. I heard that Mr. has been inside for three days." Han Tong was a little worried.
"Three days? Is it okay?" Lin Tao shook his head,
"Dad said it's okay. Although the gentleman is a scribe, he still has inner strength and his cultivation level is not low. Even if he doesn't eat or drink for three days, nothing will happen. What's more, he still eats on time." Han Tong ordered. nod,
"That's it."
"Dad!" Lin Tao suddenly shouted, and saw Lin Dao and Wu Dongtian walking over. The internal energy in their bodies was not extinguished. It was obvious that they had just done something.
Lin Dao looked at his son, who had grown taller and stronger, and smiled.
"You two aren't going to school yet?" Wu Dongtian looked at the two little guys.
"The school is on holiday today." Lin Tao looked at the closed study door and replied casually. Wu Dongtian said oh.
Eucalyptus has not made much progress recently, and the few of them who stayed in the capital have basically nothing to do. Especially him, now he can basically only vent his excessive energy by fighting with others.
Lin Tao suddenly remembered something at this time.
"By the way, Dad, Marquis Chen just said that he has something to do with you." Wu Dongtian and Lin Dao looked at each other.
When they arrived at the meeting hall of Jiulong Mansion, they found that the few people currently staying in the capital, except Gongsun, were all there.
After the two of them sat down, Xue Tianhan opened his mouth,
"You are so anxious to come to us. Is it because the eucalyptus has made progress?" Chen Yutian nodded lightly.
"Brother Huo and the others have sent a letter. They found out something. You all should take a look at it first." After saying that, he gave the paper in his hand to Xue Tianhan.
Xue Tianhan frowned after reading it and passed it to the next person. When the secret message came back from Lin Dao, Chen Yutian asked everyone,
"Any ideas?" Bai Fan spoke first,
"According to what Brother Huo and the others have investigated, the murderer is the remnant of Leping Village back then." Chen Yutian nodded. He had already ordered people to go to the prison to confront the arrested bearers. I believe there will be results soon.
"One more thing, Yuanji's letter said that the other party's next target is Lehou Qi Yunsheng. What do you think?" Chen Yutian asked everyone.
Xue Tianhan, who had always been with Huo Yuanji, nodded at this time.
"I agree with Yuanji's statement. Besides, we only have this one clue now." Lin Dao and Wu Dongtian nodded.
Chen Yutian also nodded slightly,
"The problem is that Lehou has always lived in seclusion and is the uncle of today's emperor. We can't find him to investigate face to face."
"Leave this matter to me." A voice suddenly came from outside. He saw Sima Xuanxi walking in from outside the door and spoke slowly.
Chen Yutian nodded. Since Lehou is the emperor's uncle, he is also Xuan Xi's uncle. It is of course best for Xuan Xi, the niece, to sidetrack this matter.
"One more thing, Gongsun and I have discussed it before. We both think that among the murderers, there should be a master who masters the inner power of cold and cold fire. It should be this murderer who lit the fire and destroyed the meridians of the limbs of the deceased. Why." After hearing Chen Yutian's words, the expressions of several people present changed slightly.
"The inner power of fire with the cold attribute?" Wu Dongtian smiled bitterly and repeated these words,
"Brother Chen, are you really not joking anymore?" It's not that he doesn't believe Chen Yutian and Gongsun, the cold and fire, no matter how rich his imagination is, he doesn't dare to associate them together.
Xue Tianhan showed a thoughtful look. The inner power of fire with the cold attribute? He seemed to remember that Master had indeed mentioned it once.
But what it was, with his memory, he couldn't remember it for a while. Lin Dao on the other side could only helplessly shake his head.
He believed that there were all kinds of wonders in the world, but he had never heard of the cold fire. So I can only say that there is nothing I can do to help.
Chen Yutian looked at the reactions of everyone present and sighed secretly. It seems that no one has heard of it.
"Brother Chen, have you found this step yet?" Bai Fan suddenly spoke, and as soon as his voice came out, he instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.
Chen Yutian's eyes stayed on Bai Fan, and he nodded lightly.
"Brother Bai, what do you know?" Bai Fan sighed softly.
"To be honest with you, there is only one kind of cold fire in the world, and that is..." He paused and was about to speak, but saw Xue Tianhan's eyes suddenly flash, and Bai Fan spoke almost at the same time. ,
"The ancestor of the Bai family, the White Ghost King, created his own Senluo inner power!" Everyone present was stunned almost instantly!
However, at this moment, everyone suddenly saw Gongsun, who had been in the study for three days, excitedly walking in with two portraits in his hands.
As he walked, he shouted,
"Everyone, I have a way to know the identity of the burned corpse."
