"You said your eldest brother sent someone to kill Dongmen Qian. Do you have any evidence?" Xia Jin asked.
"No……"
"How can I trust you without evidence?" Xia Jin looked at him, "Unless you can provide clues to help me catch the murderer, how will I know if you are innocent?"
The young man hesitated for a while and nodded, "Okay, but you can't tell me that I have been to the capital!"
"As long as you help me find evidence, everything will be easy to talk about!" Xia Jin said.
The young man pointed in one direction, "There is a group of ore thieves stationed near the Xuerong Mountain mineral vein outside the city. The leader is named Zhang Heng. He is the leader of the group of ore thieves and a subordinate of Li Feng. He was dispatched by Li Feng.
The people he went to the capital to kill will naturally come to light when they find him!"
The next day, Xia Jin left the city lord's mansion on the pretext that she wanted to take the young man out to teach him knowledge. The young man led the way and learned a lot of things from him along the way.
The boy's name is Li Qiang. He is the ninth son of the city lord's palace and the youngest one. His mother was a concubine. She died in childbirth after giving birth to him. His wet nurse also died mysteriously. He has been living alone since he can remember, until now.
, are also the same person.
When he said this, Li Qiang was very calm and did not show any sadness.
Thinking about it, he only learned this from other people's mouths. He had no memory, so how could he feel so many emotions?
"Can you let me see your hands?" Xia Jin asked.
Li Qiang hid his hands in his sleeves and said on guard: "No!"
Seeing his persistence, Xia Jin did not force it. He led the way to the mine veins on the eastern outskirts of the city. Looking down from a high place, one could vaguely see a camp.
"That's it!" Li Qiang pointed in that direction.
"Let's go down and take a look together," Xia Jin said.
Li Qiang nodded and jumped down from the height first. Xia Jin raised his eyebrows. This kid is not bad at qinggong, and he is a good prospect!
Xia Jin followed closely and soon arrived at the outskirts of the camp.
Li Qiang pointed at the tall and thin man who was scolding someone, "He is Zhang Heng, a close confidant of Li Feng. Many of Li Feng's shady things were done by him."
"Now that we're sure it's him, let's go!"
Xia Jin walked towards the camp, but as soon as she reached the door, she was blocked.
"what do you!"
"Catch your people!"
Xia Jin rushed forward, the flame in his hand quickly burned into a fireball, and he threw it inside. With a bang, the door was blown open.
The people who had just gathered around were burned and running around.
Xia Jin turned back and glanced at Li Qiang, who was stunned, "What are you still doing, come here quickly!"
Li Qiang reacted and hurriedly followed.
Entering the camp, Xia Jin found Zhang Heng and strode over.
Zhang Heng did not know Xia Jin, but he knew Li Qiang.
Seeing Li Qiang coming, he sneered, "Isn't this Young Master Xing Jiu from the City Lord's Mansion? You hired someone to come here! I advise you to get rid of him quickly, or I'll tell the young master that you will look good on him!"
"I didn't hire him!" Li Qiang explained.
"Who are you? Aren't you seeking revenge for the last time I beat you? Do you think you can scare me by playing with gunpowder and pretending to be a ghost?"
Li Qiang made a gesture, "Come together!"
A dozen strong men surrounded them at the same time, and one of them swung a hammer and smashed it down on Xia Jin and the others.
Just when Xia Jin was about to take action, there was a whooshing sound, and an arrow flew towards him, piercing the strong man's throat!
Xia Jin was confused and looked in the direction of the arrow, and saw Lin Ziyi riding on horseback!
