half evil

Chapter 22 Longevity!

bait!
Another bait!

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

Chen Jiang, Mo Shili is not worried, basically seeing him every day, lying there peacefully, motionless.

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

Mo Shili couldn't figure out what the other party's route was.

The unknown is always vigilant and frightening.

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

This feeling of restraint made Mo Shili even more uncomfortable.

Standing where he was, Mo Shili frowned while thinking.

Soon, his brows relaxed.

Even the corners of the mouth are slightly upturned.

Since it's a secret investigation, it's reasonable for me to disguise myself, right?
It's my first time to disguise myself, and I'm a little novice, so it's reasonable to get more raw materials, right?
It's reasonable for me to ask an acquaintance to give me some advice when I'm on a mission for the first time, right?

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

Mo Shili naturally didn't know who was behind the three swordsmen, but as long as he secretly investigated the 'Li Zhi's killing of Sun' case fast enough and stayed outside for a short enough time, his danger would be infinitely reduced.

And if you want to complete it faster, you must understand the circumstances of the case.

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 Chang'an, heading straight for the old city yamen.

Zhao Zhongxin was on duty at the gate of the yamen.

The other party swung his arms into the mutton soup restaurant, and sat down satisfied after the boss hurriedly brought a bowl of mutton soup and two sesame cakes, and added a belly bun.

While eating, the other party's eyes that had been looking around caught sight of Mo Shili.

Immediately, the servant wiped his mouth and trotted over.

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

"It's all because of the night's fragrance!"

"Don't worry, I will take care of your uncle's case, and I will notify you as soon as there is news."

Same as when we first met, the other party was still so respectful to Mo Shili, just like the other party was bossy to the owner of the breakfast stall.

Mo Shili is well aware of this kind of person's virtue.

It is difficult to make things happen, but bad things are a must.

So, without further ado, Mo Shili showed off the soldier's waist badge.

I want the other party to be good.

Then let the other party understand that the price of bad things is that the other party cannot afford it.

"Master Mo!"

Zhao Zhongxin immediately bowed down.

Mo Shili didn't stop him, he just made a wrong step, stepped aside, and then explained his purpose in a soft voice.

"Master Mo, go back and listen."

"Before sunset, it will be done for you."

Zhao Zhongxin patted his chest to assure.

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

Yang Yu was still expressionless, as if strangers should not enter.

"Yang..."

"Give."

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

The ink on it is still wet, and it clearly says——

Li Zhi was seriously ill and healed up suddenly, but his grandson died well. It is rumored that he is a "living son and grandson".

"Live descendants and grandchildren?"

Mo Shili narrowed his eyes.

Although it's the first time I've heard of Living Son's Shou, but based on the literal meaning, I can guess the general idea.

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 was going on.

It's just a simple search.

But Yang Yu, like a prophet, knew this.

What does it mean?
It means that he guessed that Wu Laoqi would make people follow him, and he was right.

Moreover, this person is Yang Yu.

Otherwise, Yang Yu could not have known so clearly.

As for hearing the news from Wu Lao Qi's mouth?

It is even more impossible.

Don't look at Wu Laoqi who is usually smiling, but his mouth is tight, and he will never confide such a thing.

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

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

I saw that it said——

In the vicinity of Chang'an County, I don't know when, a living descendant Shouyi said that when the old man is over sixty, he will carry it to the mountain and put it in a specific cave dwelling the size of a person. After three days of food, the cave entrance will be closed. , let it fend for itself.

If not, it will inevitably take away the "yangshou" of future generations.

Therefore, 'sacrificing the dead kiln' has become a local custom.

Li Zhi was originally seriously ill and could not be cured, but when he passed the age of 60, he recovered miraculously, but his grandson suddenly died suddenly.

It is rumored that Li Zhi is living the life of his descendants.

This note records more and more details than the previous note.

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

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

Will that person tell him the details?

High probability is not.

So, this was prepared by Yang Yu himself.

"Still guilty about what happened that night?"

Mo Shili's smile grew wider.

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

And he likes to deal with such people.

After all, no nonsense, you can do things.

For whom can anyone not like it?
"Brother Yang, do you know how to disguise yourself?"

Mo Shili asked.

"will not."

Yang Yu continued 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 for not helping me?

What a nice guy!

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

"You won't either?"

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

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

"it is good."

Yang Yu nodded in agreement, turned around and left.

He didn't mean to ask Mo Shili for money at all.

Obviously, Yang Yu knew very well——

He, Mo Shili, is a temporary worker.

No salary.

"What a nice guy!"

Mo Shili admired from the bottom of his heart.

After that, he leaned on the bed and waited quietly for Yang Yu's return, while making preparations.

"If the companion is a good person like Yang Yu, it will be much more convenient."

"Unfortunately, there are not enough skill points, and there is no way to improve any skill."

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

The lime powder was obtained from Lao Li.

Lao Li, who works for others, often deals with bricklayers and masons, so there is no shortage of such things.

But to him, it could be a life-saving thing.

You know, the face is covered with lime, and the gods are unstoppable.

If you add muskets and precious armor, it means that fate favors, gods block and kill gods, and Buddhas block and kill Buddhas.

Although he didn't have muskets or armor.

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

How can it be considered a low-profile version?
"Hope you have luck!"

"Don't be surprised!"

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.

The dry food is pancakes and braised pork.

The water is contained in a skin pouch.

"Yang..."

"Fair wind."

Just as Mo Shili wanted to thank him, Yang Yu put down two words forcefully, turned around and left.

When he left, he also took the note he had written 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, so let's rent a carriage and go together!" '

It's a pity that Yang Yu jumped up and down, and he couldn't see anyone in the blink of an eye.

"Unacceptable formalism!"

Mo Shili muttered in a low voice.

Afterwards, he changed his clothes, carried his burden on his back, locked the gate of the courtyard, and went straight to Chang'an County.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, Wannian County was withdrawn, and two counties, Chang'an and Daxing, belonged to Daxing City, the new capital.

From Daxing City to the old city of Chang'an, twenty miles away.

And it is forty miles to Chang'an County.

In the middle, we passed the old city of Chang'an.

Mo Shili set off in the afternoon, walking non-stop.

With [Iron Cloth Shirt] to base the body, coupled with [Gecko Swimming Wall Kung Fu] light-weight skills.

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

Chang'an County belongs to the new capital of Daxing, so there is no such thing as a curfew.

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

Mo Shili fluttered his nose, and immediately found a restaurant with the most delicious taste.

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

"Oh no!"

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