Datang: Invincible in the world, the widow of King Zhao of the West

Chapter 201 Zhou Huai, Kill Your Soul!

Shandong territory.

Xiaohai Village.

"My lord, this is Xiaohai Village." Zhou Huai obviously did all his homework, and said as he walked, "My lord, the villagers of Xiaohai Village have been fishing for pearls for generations. Of course, they The pearls picked are only of ordinary quality, and the best quality hardly ever comes out."

Li Xun also knew that if many high-quality pearls could be picked, Xiaohai Village would not be just a little richer than ordinary villages.

"However, my lord, there was a rumor in Xiaohai Village that Xiaohai Village was not like this at the time. There were also high-ranking officials in Xiaohai Village back then. Unfortunately, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, they died in the chaos of war. Since then , Xiaohai Village is going into decline."

Zhou Huai said: "Even after the downfall of Xiaohai Village, it still relies on the ancestral pearl-picking skills. There is not much change in life. It is much better than ordinary villages."

soon.

A few people came to a big river.

"My lord, it's here."

"This big river is where the villagers of Xiaohai Village fish for pearls, and it is also the main river for their survival."

Zhou Huai said, pointing to a mountain not far away, and said: "The place where Fengyin disappeared is just the upper reaches of this big river, and it is only about thirty miles away from Xiaohai Village."

Li Xun looked around and said, "This Xiaohai Village is almost a mountain village. If Feng Yin walks from here, Zhou Huai, do you think this flat road is easier to walk, or is this mountain road feasible?"

Zhou Huai said: "My lord, if it were mine, then I must choose the mountain road!"

"Look, my lord, if there are some people hiding on this mountain, they can't be seen clearly at all. Moreover, the people in this Xiaohai village are all engaged in pearl fishing, and they rarely go hunting on the mountain. The secrecy of the mountain is definitely possible. .”

Li Xun smiled.

Said: "In that case, it's worth a million dollars. In the mountains without any traces of people, if we go there, we will definitely find some traces. I don't believe it. In the mountains without any traces, they transported Millions of silver, leaving no trace."

Zhou Huai said: "That's right, my subordinates and the prince have the same idea, so before we came, my subordinates had mobilized people from Dali Temple to investigate. After a while, people from Dali Temple should come back. When the time comes, we'll know."

Li Xun looked at the mountain with a faint smile on his face.

Said: "Since they can do things on Longsnake Mountain, I don't think they will be so careless. If they walk on the mountain, their footprints will not be concealed at all."

"Let's not talk about people from Dali Temple, even if it's a casual arrest, you can find out."

Zhou Huai frowned slightly, and asked, "But, my lord, they dare not take the big road, and the mountain road is impassable. How did they take away the money?"

"Zhou Huai, you said that the upstream of this big river is where Feng Yin disappeared?"

Li Xun asked suddenly.

Zhou Huai nodded and said, "That's right!"

"Could it be!!"

Zhou Huai's eyes lit up, he looked at the big river in front of him, and said, "My lord, the river is flowing fast, but that's only when the spring begins!"

"Most of the rivers are frozen over now!"

Li Xun said, "Zhou Huai, have you ever thought about whether the villagers in Xiaohai Village will dig ice after the river freezes?"

Zhou Huai nodded.

Said: "The subordinates have already asked Miss Zhou Zhuzhu, they do dig ice in winter, there are a lot of fish in it, they dig ice to catch fish in winter as winter food."

"Well, Zhou Huai, go break the ice on the river."

Without any hesitation, Zhou Huai took the knife and slammed it towards the river.

Click!

Click!

As Zhou Huai smashed a hole in the ice, the river below was still flowing.

"My lord, the river below this big river seems to be still flowing."

Li Xun took a look and said, "Although the ice layer is thick, it is far from freezing the entire river, and Zhou Zhuzhu also said that this river is very deep."

"Think about it, in such a deep river, if you hide something, especially now that the river is frozen, you probably won't be able to find it at all, right?"

Zhou Huai heard Li Xun's words,

He thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, what do you mean is that the money was hidden at the bottom of the river? And the villagers of Xiaohai Village found the money at the bottom of the river precisely because of digging ice for fishing, so, Those are the people who exterminated Xiaohai Village?"

Li Xun said: "It is reasonable to say so, but there is another point that we haven't seen the side of the Bandit until now."

"That is to say, do these bandits exist? We don't know yet."

Zhou Huai: "???"

"My lord, if the bandits didn't exist, how did the villagers of Xiaohai Village die?"

Li Xun smiled, but did not speak.

But Zhou Huai gasped, and said in disbelief: "My lord, what do you mean, maybe there are no bandits at all, and those villagers in Xiaohai Village are just an excuse for bandits?"

Li Xun said: "Of course, right now we're just guessing, and there's no evidence."

"What if our people find footprints on the mountain? This guess is unreliable."

Zhou Huai shook his head and said, "No, my lord, even if it's on the mountain, our conjecture can continue. What if the villagers of Xiaohai Village found it on the mountain?"

Two hours passed.

Dozens of people with some torn clothes came before Li Xun and Zhou Huai.

"My lord."

Li Xun asked: "How?"

"My lord, the brothers started to search the mountain according to the place where the money was robbed. In the mountain, there are indeed no footprints."

Li Xun nodded.

Said: "A salary of one million, that's not light!"

"If they take the mountain road, it is impossible not to leave a trace."

Zhou Huai's eyes became sharper: "My lord, that is to say, they were the only ones who went underwater, and the villagers of Xiaohai Village found their money, which led to the extermination of the villagers of Xiaohai Village."

Li Xun nodded and said, "Now I only have this conjecture."

Whoosh~~~~~~!

suddenly. ,
A feathered arrow pierced through the air, aiming right at Li Xun's neck.

"Humph."

Li Xun chuckled, and he stretched out his hand to grab the feather arrow that was about to pierce his neck.

"Zhou Huai, I have to live."

As soon as Li Xun's words fell, Zhou Huai was like a tiger descending the mountain.

He rushed out towards the place where the arrow was shot.

"Mission failed, withdraw!"

Three masked men in black hid behind the boulder. Although their speed was fast, Zhou Huai's was even faster.

A sword light flashed.

Before one of the men in black could react, his head rolled to the ground.

"If you want to be like him, run away!"

Zhou Huai smiled and looked at the remaining two men in black, the knife in his hand was still dripping blood
