Without delay, Si Moli directly sent someone to the county government to inquire about the fire in the brothel.

The county master did not expect that King Li would come and received it with fear and fear: "Prince, according to my investigation, the brothel caught fire. It seemed that a guest accidentally knocked over the fire candle while drunk. The brothel wanted to put out the fire, but the strong wine burned.

Not only did they not extinguish them, but they were all buried in the sea of ​​fire and did not escape."

Si Moli did not directly refute his words, but first found the identity of the scholar, but there was no such person in the household registration.

The guards asked about the direction of the village. The official took out a map and pointed at them. There were no marks on the map in a small village like this.

At night, the county master said flatteringly: "The prince is running all the way, so let's stay in the county government today. The room has been prepared for the prince. Please don't dislike him."

Si Moli nodded. They were rushing around day and night. They needed a good rest tonight and went to that village to investigate tomorrow.

The servant took Si Moli to the door of the room. Si Moli walked in. After a while, a woman's scream came from the room.

When the guard heard the sound, he rushed to Si Moli's room and saw a woman in a pink gauze dress on his bed. Her shoulders were stabbed and blood stained the bed.

The guard took a breath of air, probably knowing what was going on in his heart. It was probably the woman arranged by the county magistrate for the prince. He bowed and asked, "Prince, what should this girl do?"

Si Moli's expression was cold and directly ordered: "Show up for no reason, be dealt with by the assassin, and take it down for interrogation."

"Yes, Prince." The guard waved and someone immediately took the woman down.

The woman couldn't help crying: "I'm not an assassin, I'm called by the county magistrate, prince..."

Si Moli frowned, and the guards on one side immediately understood and stuffed a piece of cloth into the woman's mouth. The noisy sound disappeared.

The county magistrate came late and looked panicked: "Prince, this..."

"The room is dirty, let me arrange another one."

"Yes, yes, prince, let's make arrangements..." The county magistrate wiped his sweat and did not dare to beg for mercy for the woman. It seemed that everyone said that King Li was not close to the woman, but it was actually true.

He secretly spat in his heart, "Pretty aloof, who knows what it looks like in private?"

Early the next morning, the county magistrate wanted Si Moli to leave after eating, but he took people away early in the morning.

The group came to the outside of the city in the direction pointed by the official before, but the more we walked, the more desolate we could see the shadow of the village. The guard muttered in his heart, the prince had already asked the people of the county town, and the village was obviously in the opposite direction, why did he still want it.

Come here.

Suddenly, there was a sound of Sasha in the surrounding woods, and the guards immediately became alert with their swords.

"Prince, someone."

Si Moli nodded: "Stay alive."

After a while, many men in black suddenly jumped out of the forest, and they were not bad at all. They took out their swords and fought with the people brought by Si Moli. Because the number of men in black was almost twice theirs,

Time is hard to decide the outcome, and it has a slight advantage.

Si Moli flew to join in and turned the situation around in a moment, and the man in black died and injured.

The guards groped on them, but did not find anything useful, so they took the survivors first.

"Prince, is this someone sent by the county magistrate? They led us here to kill us?"

Si Moli looked at the makeup of the man in black carefully and shook his head: "He doesn't have this strength yet. Judging from his skills, he may not be able to do anything with the people in the palace."

After almost the cleaning up here, he ordered to go to the real direction of the village.

The guard then realized that the prince probably had expected that the official accountant was not just a wrong way, after all, it was too easy to see through, so he came here deliberately to arrest people.

He quickly followed the steps of his prince and admired him even more in his heart.

When we arrived at the village, the whole village was silent. The dilapidated thatched huts had been blown down by the wind and rain. Many of the walls were covered with plants, moss grew on the bricks and tiles, and no one could see.

It seemed that someone had deliberately cleaned it up, there was almost no property in the room, it was empty, and the fertile fields had long been abandoned and covered with weeds.

It has been more than two years since the incident, and the entire village is covered with a layer of ashes. The originally lively village is now dead, as if it is shrouded in mist, with a strange atmosphere.

There seemed to be a fishy smell mixed in the air.

Before the valley, the surroundings were deserted. I sent people to leave the village and walked a long way before I finally saw someone. After asking, someone said that there was a plague in the village, so I moved the village away.

No one dares to go there.

The guard sighed: "Prince, it seems that I'm afraid I can only find out the truth of that year when I catch the bandits."

Si Moli frowned slightly, and his eyes fell on a collapsed earthen house. Because there was a heavy rain a few days ago, the rain washed away the soil. Under the gaps of the walls and wood covered the ground, it was exposed to rot.

red cotton cloth.

He sighed in his heart.

In fact, when he was investigating the Third Prince before, he began to pay attention to the bandit suppression.

Although this village is small, I heard that the elderly live very long and have many children. If there were no such thing as back then, smoke should be lit here at this moment. The men at home work in the fields, the peasant women fetch water and wash clothes, and the elderly burn firewood while burning

Looking at the children outside playing, the yellow dog at the door also barked happily.

The brothel was burned, but many people inside had been rescued by him and taken care of.

But the people in this village can never be found again.

Si Moli brought people back to the county government office and directly arrested the county magistrate's family.

"Prince, what are you doing! You can't catch people at will!"

Si Moli cut off his arm with a sword. The county magistrate screamed and fell to the ground. The guards on the side stepped forward to bandage his wounds.

"It's okay if I kill you directly." Si Moli said coldly.

Someone escorted the madam in the brothel and the man in black in the woods. The county magistrate widened his eyes and couldn't believe that these people would appear in front of him. He closed his eyes and fainted.

At this moment, in the mansion of the Third Prince of Kyoto, a woman hid behind the table with a smirk, and her face turned out to be somewhat similar to Shen Sisi.

The third prince covered his eyes with a piece of silk cloth, and reached out to test: "Little Guai, come out quickly, where are you hiding~"

The woman covered her mouth, bent her eyes with a smile, and hid under the table with her waist.
Chapter completed!
