Suddenly there was a sound, as if the earth was shaking, and everyone's hearts couldn't help but jump.
The next moment, the ground exploded, and a man jumped out and stood there.
"This is a corpse explosion!"
"No, he's not dead!"
"He's alive!"
After everyone's initial shock, they turned into surprises. Li Mu was still alive and not dead yet.
Living is better than anything else.
"I'm still alive, but I'm very hungry... These tributes taste good and are used to commemorate me. Just give me a little to eat to cushion my stomach!" Li Mu looked at the tributes on the table and was very polite, taking them to eat.
Went down.
This is for him to eat anyway.
The dead can be eaten, so why can't he be eaten by a living person?
While eating the food, it didn't taste good, it was cold, not hot at all, and there was still dust on it, which was very unhygienic, but Li Mu didn't care about it and just grabbed it and gnawed it.
If you don't eat even one meal, you will feel hungry. Moreover, if you haven't eaten or drank a sip of water all day and night, your stomach will be dry.
This time he was hungry, this time he almost suffocated to death. Looking back, Li Mu's mood was ups and downs. He looked at Hua Wuying and Sun Mengxi again, and thought to himself: "It's a pity that I am alive. If I die, I don't know that they will marry
Whoever becomes whose woman will be at a huge loss just thinking about it!"
I traveled through my past life, and ended up losing my three girlfriends.
Now, I was almost suffocated to death in the secret room, and my two girlfriends were almost gone.
"Master, this is the milk you like!"
Sun Mengxi presented a leather bag with milk in it.
Li Mu took a sip and it tasted very good.
"Drink slowly, eat slowly!" Hua Wuying said, passing the handkerchief.
The two women took great care of me.
Li Gong looked on, ate a mouthful of dog food, and wanted to beat this guy to death. But he gritted his teeth and decided to let it go. I couldn't beat him.
"What happened?" Marquis Liaoyuan asked.
Li Mu said: "I almost died of starvation, almost died of thirst, almost died of suffocation, the way of death is quite wonderful! No matter where you go next time, you must bring food and dry food, otherwise you will not feel safe..."
At this moment, I was starving.
After all, he is a human being, made of flesh and blood. He will feel hungry if he does not eat one meal, and he has not eaten several meals.
"Next time, don't be so reckless!" Hua Wuying said.
"I know!" Li Mu said, but he was thinking in his heart that he was reckless because he was not strong enough and not fleshy enough.
Back at the government office, Li Mu talked about the case, and everyone looked a little complicated as they listened to the case.
Li Muchao: "Who is behind the Yongle Chamber of Commerce?"
"Cough cough cough!"
Suddenly, Li Gong coughed.
Hua Wuying fell silent.
Everyone became silent, and the silence was a bit suffocating.
Li Muchao: "Casinos and brothels are all huge profit industries. As the saying goes, huge profit industries are often very violent. Without a backstage, you are often not qualified to open..."
It's just like oil, coal mines, transportation, etc. in previous lives. Without the backstage, you can't even enter through the door.
"Cough cough cough!" Li Gong coughed.
Li Mu said: "Little Marquis, the so-called backstage can't be you!"
"It's not him in the background...it's me!" Marquis Liaoyuan said, looking a little embarrassed.
"Just yesterday, such a big thing happened at Yongle Gambling House. Another gunpowder explosion involved the military. I was also angry, so I investigated for a while and found... that gambling house was in my name.
"
Li Mu was stunned, there was still such a routine.
The so-called robber couldn't be Marquis Liaoyuan!
"Master Hou, you couldn't have done this, right?" Li Mu said with a smile.
"It's not me...it's one of my subordinates who did it...it has nothing to do with me..." Liaoyuan Hou said, but he could not continue talking.
Now, it is impossible to say that it has nothing to do with it.
"Where is the steward?" Li Mu asked.
"Already dead!" Marquis Liaoyuan said: "When I learned that Yongle Gambling House was in my name, when I found out about the manager, the manager was already dead!"
If mud falls into your pants, it’s either shit or shit!
Li Mu frowned and said nothing.
Li Gong said anxiously: "My father did not do this. Our family is not short of money..."
"Really? Let me see the body of the steward. As long as you do something, it will leave traces!" Li Mu said: "Many things depend on evidence..."
I'm just talking, I'm embarrassed to say it.
In many cases, evidence is not needed to solve crimes in this world. Does the emperor need evidence to kill someone? No, he only needs a reason for suspicion;
When a county magistrate arrests a criminal, does he need evidence? No. He only needs a reason for suspicion and a reasonable explanation. That is enough.
It makes sense.
Just like now, all the evidence shows that Marquis Liaoyuan is the real culprit behind the scenes, but it is wrong... After all, this Marquis has no shortage of money in his family, and he will not use such methods. It is too low-level.
Without saying anything else, Li Mu saw the steward in the backyard of the government office.
The steward's body was placed there. A sword stabbed him in the heart, killing him on the spot.
Li Mu asked: Mr. Hou, do you recognize him?"
"I don't recognize him... He is just a small steward with a very low sense of presence. I don't recognize him!" Liaoyuan Hou said.
As a marquis, there are many servants in the mansion. Some of the top people among the servants know each other, but some of the middle and lower class people do not recognize him at all.
Li Mu nodded.
It's like, after he became a general judge, most of the big shots and upper-level officials around Jinling knew each other, and a few outstanding people in the middle-level still remembered their names. As for the others, they may not even remember their names.
After carefully examining the body, it was found that twenty-four hours had passed and less than two days had passed since his death. In other words, the suspect was killed while he was trapped in the secret room.
Why was he killed at this time... to divert attention, to splash water... or maybe to escape the golden cicada's shell.
He was wiping the wound again and struck a fatal blow with his sword. As for the steward's cultivation level, it was only the seventh level acquired. His cultivation level was very low and his sense of presence was very low.
"Who recommended this steward!" Li Mu said.
"It's Steward Qin... Steward Qin has been with our family for generations, and there's no way he could betray you!" Marquis Liaoyuan said. Some slaves ask the family to give birth to a son, which means that Steward Qin is a slave, that is, his father, grandfather, etc. and the others above.
They are all servants of Marquis Liaoyuan. Their relationship is very strong and betrayal is impossible.
"I want to ask something?" Li Mu said.
"Okay!" Marquis Liaoyuan said.
A moment later, an old man who looked like a butler appeared and knelt on the ground on the spot: "Master Li, it's really not me. It's not me who wants to frame Mr. Hou... I didn't know that this person actually cheated!"
Li Mu sneered and said: "Master Hou is a busy man and has no time to take care of trivial matters. You have to handle these small things well, but now a big black pot is placed on Master Hou. Five million taels of official silver are lost, and many evidences are revealed."
It refers to the Marquis. How do you want the emperor to view the Marquis? How do all the civil and military officials in the court view the Marquis?"
As he spoke, his tone was aggressive.
The housekeeper said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Hou!"
As he said this, his eyes turned red and he hit the pillar on the side to apologize for his death.
