Chapter 22 Living descendants and grandchildren!

bait!

Used as bait again!

It is not only a bait to catch Chen Jiang, but also a bait to catch the people behind the three swordsmen.

Chen Jiang, Mo Shili didn't worry about, he basically saw him every day, lying there peacefully, motionless.

But the three swordsmen who suddenly appeared that night were different.

Mo Shili was not sure at all what the opponent's strategy was.

The unknown is always vigilant and scary.

In addition, Wu Laoqi must have arrangements, and someone will definitely follow him.

This feeling of being tied up made Mo Shili even more uncomfortable.

Standing there, Mo Shili frowned and thought.

Soon, his brows widened.

Even the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

Since I'm conducting a secret investigation, it's reasonable for me to disguise myself in disguise, right?

It's my first time doing a disguise, so I'm a bit unwieldy, so it makes sense to get more raw materials, right?

It's my first time to go on a mission, so it's reasonable to find an acquaintance to give me some pointers, right?

It just so happens that that person still feels guilty and owes me a favor. It is reasonable and reasonable to tell me more about the situation, right?

Of course, Mo Shili didn't know who was behind the three swordsmen, but as long as he secretly investigated the 'Li Zhi murder case' fast enough and stayed outside for a short enough time, his danger could be reduced infinitely.

And if you want to complete it faster, you naturally need to understand the history of the case.

Then who else is more suitable than Yang Yu?

Of course, Mo Shili didn't know where Yang Yu was.

But someone knows.

Immediately, Mo Shili turned around and returned to the old city of Chang'an, heading straight to the old city government office.

Zhao Zhongxin was on duty at the Yamen Gate.

The other party swayed his arms and entered the mutton soup restaurant. After the boss hurriedly brought a bowl of mutton soup and two sesame seed cakes, and added a belly pork belly, he sat down with satisfaction.

While he was eating, the other party's darting eyes caught sight of Mo Shili.

Immediately, the yamen servant wiped his mouth and trotted over.

"Hey, Brother Mo, I haven't seen you for a while."

"It's all because of Ye Liuxiang!"

"Don't worry, I'll keep your uncle's case in mind and I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."

Just like when they first met, the other party was still as respectful to Mo Shili, just like the other party was bossing around the breakfast stall owner.

Mo Shili knew the virtue of this kind of person.

Success is difficult, but bad deeds are rare.

So, without any further nonsense, Mo Shili showed off his military soldier card.

Wanting the other person to do no harm.

Then you have to let the other party understand that the price of bad things is something the other party cannot afford.

"Master Mo!"

Zhao Zhongxin immediately bowed down and prostrated.

Mo Shili didn't stop him, but he made a mistake in his steps, stepped aside, and softly explained his purpose.

"Master Mo, please go back and listen."

"It will be done for you before sunset."

Zhao Zhongxin patted his chest in assurance.

In fact, just after three quarters noon, Yang Yu appeared in the courtyard of Mao'er Lane.

Yang Yu's face was still expressionless and he didn't want to let strangers in.

"Yang..."

"Give."

Just as Mo Shili was about to say hello, Yang Yu handed Mo Shili a note.

The ink on it has not yet dried, but it clearly says——

Li Zhi was seriously ill and suddenly recovered, but his grandson died peacefully. It was rumored that he had a "living descendant and a long life".

"A living descendant?"

Mo Shili squinted his eyes.

Although this is the first time I heard about the longevity of living children, I can make a rough guess based on the literal meaning.

However, at this moment, Mo Shili was more concerned about Yang Yu.

He asked Zhao Zhongxin to find Yang Yu.

But he didn't tell Zhao Zhongxin what happened.

It's just a simple matter of finding someone.

But Yang Yu, like a prophet, knew this.

What does it mean?

This shows that his previous guess that Wu Laoqi would let people follow him was correct.

Moreover, this person is Yang Yu.

Otherwise, Yang Yu would not have known so clearly.

As for hearing the news from Wu Laoqi?

It's even more impossible.

Although Wu Laoqi usually smiles, he has a tight mouth and will never reveal such a thing.

While Mo Shili was thinking, Yang Yu handed over another note.

The handwriting on it is the same as before, and it is obviously Yang Yu's notes.

I saw it said——

Near Chang'an County, I don't know when a living descendant, Sun Shouyi, said that when an old man is over sixty, he must be carried to the mountain and placed in a specific cave dwelling the size of one person. After three days of food, the entrance of the cave is closed.

, let it fend for itself.

Otherwise, it will inevitably take away the "Yangshou" of future generations.

Therefore, "sacrifice to the dead in the kiln" has become a local custom.

Li Zhi was seriously ill and could not be cured, but when he turned sixty, he miraculously recovered, but his grandson died suddenly.

Rumor has it that Li Zhi is survived by his descendants.

This note records more and is more detailed than the previous note.

After Mo Shili remembered the contents of the two notes in his heart, he raised his head with a smile and looked at Yang Yu with a cold face.

He was more and more convinced that Yang Yu, who seemed to be difficult to get along with, was actually a very easy-to-get-together person - Wu Laoqi sent people to follow him, and the important thing was to protect and monitor him by the way.

Will he be asked to tell him the details?

Most likely not.

Therefore, Yang Yu prepared this himself.

"Still feeling guilty about what happened that night?"

The smile on Mo Shili's lips grew wider.

Obviously, Yang Yu is exactly the legendary cold-faced and warm-hearted person.

And he likes to deal with these kind of people.

After all, if you don't talk nonsense, you can get things done.

Who wouldn’t like it if given to someone?

"Brother Yang, do you know the art of disguise?"

Mo Shili asked.

"Won't."

Yang Yu continues to cherish words like gold.

But Mo Shili keenly noticed that a trace of guilt flashed in Yang Yu's eyes.

Are you starting to feel guilty again because you didn't help me?

What a nice guy!

Mo Shili felt more and more happy in his heart, but there was anxiety and uneasiness on his face.

"Neither can you?"

"This is going to be difficult to handle. The boss asked me to investigate this case secretly. If I can't disguise myself, then all I can do is disguise myself!"

"Brother Yang, can you buy some clothes for me?"

"good."

Yang Yu nodded in agreement, turned around and left.

He had no intention of asking Mo Shili for money.

Obviously, Yang Yu knew very well——

He, Mo Shili, is a temporary worker.

Without salary.

“What a nice guy!”

Mo Shili admired from the bottom of his heart.

Afterwards, he leaned on the bed and quietly waited for Yang Yu to return while making preparations.

"It would be much more convenient if the traveler is a good person like Yang Yu."

"Unfortunately, there are not enough skill points to improve any skill at all."

Mo Shili sighed inwardly and began to hide the two small bags containing lime powder on his body.

I asked Lao Li for the lime powder.

Lao Li, who works for others, often interacts with bricklayers and masonry workers, so he has no shortage of these things.

But for him, it can be a life-saving thing.

You know, if you put lime on your face, it’s hard to stop the gods.

If you add muskets and armor, it means fate favors you. Gods will kill gods if they block them, and Buddhas will kill Buddhas if they block them.

Although he doesn't have a musket or armor.

But he has an arm crossbow and can also use [Iron Shirt].

It’s considered a low-end version anyway, right?

“Hope you have good luck!”

"Don't let anything happen!"

Mo Shili thought silently.

When Yang Yu came back, this kind man with a cold face and a warm heart not only bought some clothes, but also bought dry food and water for Mo Shili.

Dry food is pancakes and braised pork.

Water is in a skin.

"Yang..."

"Fair wind."

Just when Mo Shili was about to thank him, Yang Yu said the two words firmly, turned around and left.

When he left, he also took the note he wrote with him.

Mo Shili looked at Yang Yu's back and wanted to say, 'Don't separate, I know you have to follow me secretly, let's rent a carriage and go together!'

Unfortunately, Yang Yu jumped up and lost sight of the person in the blink of an eye.

"Undesirable formalism!"

Mo Shili muttered in a low voice.

Afterwards, he changed his clothes, picked up his baggage, locked the courtyard door, and went straight to Chang'an County.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, Wannian County was removed and two counties, Chang'an and Daxing, were placed under the new capital, Daxing City.

It’s twenty miles from Daxing City to the old city of Chang’an.

It is forty miles to Chang'an County.

We also passed the old city of Chang'an in the middle.

Mo Shili set out in the afternoon and kept walking.

With the [Iron Cloth Shirt] to base the body, coupled with the lightening skills of [Gecko Wall Walking Skill].

It was only slightly dark when Mo Shili arrived in Chang'an County.

Chang'an County is part of Xindu Daxing, so there is no curfew.

Although it is far less lively than Zhuque Road in Daxing, there are still several restaurants open with hooked railings and bright lights.

Mo Shili twitched his nose and immediately found a restaurant with the most delicious food.

But just as he was about to enter a restaurant to inquire about information and eat some food, he heard a voice coming from the other side of the street——

"Oh no!"

"Li Zhi's daughter-in-law is dead!"
