Chapter 108 Headless Female Corpse
Li Dongyang put away the banknotes and laughed, his face was full of complacency, the gamblers onlookers also laughed loudly, and some people poked their heads to look at Xie Shouzhi's small body.

At this moment, a cold light shot towards Li Dongyang's neck.

The assassination came so unexpectedly, Li Dongyang didn't expect that there would be people who would dare to assassinate him in broad daylight, he was the son of Duke Zhen!
Jia Lin has been vigilant all around. Just when Li Dongyang was triumphant, Jia Lin couldn't help but relax his mind. Seeing the cold light stabbing at Shizi, his face turned pale with fright, and he drew his waist knife and slashed at the rushing figure.

Li Dongyang leaned back and at the same time stretched out his hand to drag the stone backward. The chair behind him rubbed against the ground making a piercing sound, and the sudden sword was dodged by Li Dongyang.

It was too late to stand up from the chair, Li Dongyang had already started to attack, Shi Shi took a few steps back in a daze, and then he realized that if the prince hadn't dragged him, he might have been injured.

This was the second time that Shizi saved him, Shitou's eye sockets turned red, and he cursed bitterly: "If you dare to harm Shizi, you will break your left arm and right arm."

The sound of the stone fell, and the soft sword in Li Dongyang's hand entangled the killer's long sword. Jia Lin's attack fell after that, and slashed on the killer's left arm without hesitation.

Blood gushed out from his left arm, and the killer screamed in pain. At the same time, he got rid of Li Dongyang's big knife and faced Jia Lin.

With a scream, the killer lost both arms, and his ordinary face was full of shock. Obviously, he didn't expect Li Dongyang's kung fu to be so high, nor did he expect a guard to be so strong.

Jia Lin used to be the personal guard of Duke Zhen. After Li Dongyang recognized his ancestor and returned to the clan, he was transferred to Li Dongyang's side. Of course, his skills are not weak, and he has been fighting on the battlefield all year round. He has learned how to kill.

Seeing that there was no way out, the killer simply bit the poison in his mouth and died on the spot. When Li Dongyang went up to check, his throat was covered with blood. If he wanted to rescue him, he might drag him back before the death gate, but Li Dongyang didn't want to save him.

It's too much effort, and it also takes too much medicine, Li Dongyang doesn't want to waste it on a small soldier.

After checking, he couldn't find any clues, but Jia Lin had sharp eyes, tore off the killer's shirt and said, "Your Majesty, he was murdered by blood."

"Blood killing?" Li Dongyang frowned and remembered what kind of organization this was. He didn't expect someone to hire a killer. Who could it be?Xie Shi?

Li Dongyang rubbed his chin and couldn't figure it out, no matter who it was, he had to be careful in the future, he got up and said, "Report to the official."

"Yes." Jia Lin replied and asked his followers to report to the officials.

Mo Zhu clenched his fists with cold sweat streaming down his face, looked at Li Dongyang and asked, "Master, are we going back home?"

"Well, let's go back to the house." Li Dongyang said with a smile: "You take Xie Shouzhi's clothes away, that's money, and you can exchange some money at the pawnshop."

"Yes." Mo Zhu answered honestly, looking at Xie Shouzhi who was being protected behind him, his face twitched, who exactly dug a hole for whom?Gambling is usually done by asking someone to do it, but it's just a bravado, so it's all right now.

Mo Zhu sighed inwardly, feeling that Xie Shouzhi's favor for him was in vain, if he insisted on asking for it, he might be silenced, alas, bad luck.

No matter what Mo Zhu was lamenting, Li Dongyang walked away with Shitou and others. Shitou was a little excited today and kept clenching his fists.

Li Dongyang looked at Shitou and said: "Shitou, I will marry you a wife in the future, buy a yard, and set up hundreds of acres of fertile land. Your small family will be formed. Are you looking forward to it?"

"Hey, it's all up to the elder son." Shitou smiled a little silly, patted his head and asked, "Can these IOUs be recovered?"

"It's hard to say, it would be great if there was a special debt collection agency." Li Dongyang sighed. He didn't know how much money the Yasukuni Mansion had, let alone whether the Yasukuni Association would pay for Xie Shouzhi. Let's go home and discuss it.

In any case, Li Dongyang felt that there was little hope of getting the money back. After all, Duke Jing just lost a large sum of money, but he should be able to vomit blood after receiving the news.

Jia Lin followed Li Dongyang and looked at Shizi frequently. He didn't know what method Shizi was playing, but he didn't know when he moved.

Experts outside the world are different!Jia Lin could only comfort himself in this way.Even Li Dongyang couldn't have imagined that today's gambling game was rumored to be miraculous, and they all blamed the masters of the world.

Not only Jia Lin and his followers were curious, but even the emperor became curious when the news spread to the palace, and the queen mother even suspected that Li Dongyang had special magical skills, and wished to slice Li Dongyang into slices.

"Those who came out with me today will all be rewarded with 100 taels, and Jia Lin's meritorious deeds will be rewarded with [-] taels." Li Dongyang walked on the street very generously, and everyone thanked him one after another.

Shi Shi followed him with a smirk, he knew that his tipping must be the highest, the prince just said that he would give him a yard and a woman, hehe, good thing.

When the passers-by on the street heard Li Dongyang's reward, their envious eyes turned red, and they wished that they were also a member of the guards, even if they were followers.

It's different when you look at a wealthy family. It's a pride to make a move.

They chatted happily, but Xie Shouzhi's life was dark. Of course, this did not affect Li Dongyang. Li Dongyang was stopped by a little beggar on the street when he was full of pride.

The little beggar held up a broken bowl and said, "My lord, there are rumors that a female corpse was found in the moat, and it may be the person you are looking for."

Yeah?Li Dongyang looked at the little beggar and thought of the old beggar. The old beggar made a deal with himself and wanted to avenge his son. He went to look for Xiao Hong, didn't he?
Li Dongyang threw a piece of broken silver to the little beggar, got on his horse and ran towards the moat. Jia Lin and others quickly followed. They didn't know what happened, but it was very important to think about it.

The moat was surrounded by onlookers, and there were officials to maintain law and order. A police officer was conducting a preliminary autopsy.

Mo Zhu pulled out the flow of people, and respectfully invited Li Dongyang to enter. Li Dongyang was not polite, and walked quickly towards the female corpse, and frowned as he got closer. The clothing on the female corpse was indeed the same as what Xiao Hong wore that day.

But this female corpse does not have a head, why is that?

When Xiao Dashan saw Li Dongyang approaching, he hurried forward and said, "My lord, please stay, and the idlers at the scene of the case are not allowed to approach."

Li Dongyang pointed to his nose, and asked with a smile: "You say I'm an idler?"

Xiao Dashan nodded, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, please forgive me. I'm currently handling the case. Sorry for any inconvenience."

Li Dongyang looked up at the female corpse, and said lightly: "Looking at the color of the corpse, it should have been dead for three days."
