Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 135 Face to face
The servant didn't die because of a broken tongue and excessive blood loss. Although he had many injuries, those were all beaten by Zuo Hongji with a wooden stick, and none of them were fatal. So what caused the death of the deceased?
"My lord, you are truly a god! If it were someone else, this kind of case would definitely be treated as committing suicide in fear of guilt, biting your tongue. I never imagined that there is such a hidden secret in it!" Chang Feng returned to the cell , Heartfelt praise.

"Stop flattering, I have something to tell you." Li Canghai clapped his hands and said.

Chang Feng immediately bowed and said respectfully: "Whatever orders do you have, I will do my best."

"The news was released that the servant committed suicide in fear of crime. To prevent the hot weather from causing plague, the body had been burned." Li Canghai pointed at the body and whispered into Chang Feng's ear.

Chang Feng was a little puzzled, he wondered, "My lord, what do you mean?"

Li Canghai frowned slightly, and said solemnly: "The servant was obviously murdered by someone, I believe it won't be long before someone will come to destroy the corpse."

Chang Feng's eyes lit up, "Your Excellency, do you want to use the strategy of 'crossing the sky' to lure out the murderer behind?"

"Hide the corpse well, and then you rush to Luoyang in the starry night to find a young foreman named Xiaowu, and ask him to come to this county to help." Li Canghai nodded unpredictablely, and then said.

"Don't worry, my lord, I'll do it now."

Although Chang Feng is a bit cunning, but when he does things, he is swift and resolute.

He hid the body in Yizhuang, got another dead dog, set up a pile of firewood and set it on fire, and asked the jailer to let the wind out as Li Canghai said.

After that, he hurried to Luoyang.

When Li Canghai returned to Zuo Zhai, the eastern sky was already pale.

"Hey, brother Li woke up so early!" A person bumped into him full of arms.

Li Canghai looked up and found that it was Zuo Hongji, "Brother Zuo, where are you going?"

Zuo Hongji yawned, shook his head and said, "Brother Wang just sent a message that the county magistrate may have returned to Zhengyang, let me discuss it."

"How did you know the county magistrate came back?" Li Canghai yelled inwardly. Could it be that his whereabouts have been exposed?
"Brother Wang has a former brother who was the team leader guarding the city gate. He said that the county magistrate returned to Zhengyang last night. Not only that, he was severely injured." Zuo Hongji was a little puzzled at this point. Said: "It's also strange, I have never heard of this county magistrate knowing martial arts, how could he be seriously injured?"

Hearing this, Li Canghai cursed inwardly, damn it, he should have locked up that bastard if he had known earlier.

"Brother Li, why don't we go and see together, if the county magistrate really returns to Zhengyang, wouldn't it cut off our source of income?" Zuo Hongji said.

"If the county magistrate really returns to Zhengyang, we need to discuss countermeasures." Li Canghai rolled his eyes a few times, and followed Zuo Hongji out quietly.

There was a carriage waiting at the door, and the two got into the carriage, walked for nearly a stick of incense, and came to a tea house.

It was still early at this time, Wang Buquan sat on a chair in the teahouse with a gloomy face, and behind him stood several big men in black clothes.

Standing next to him was a bandaged man who was complaining to Wang Buquan angrily.

"Brother Wang, I heard that the county magistrate has returned to Zhengyang, is this true?" Zuo Hongji asked loudly before he stepped in.

Wang Buquan looked up at him, and saw Li Canghai following him, he got up and said, "Brother Li, are you here too?"

Li Canghai nodded, without dodging or avoiding, he strode over directly, then lifted his hem, and sat down unceremoniously.

Along the way, he has already thought of countermeasures.

The county magistrate Wang Buquan knew was Kang Xu, and even if the door official said Potian, it would be difficult for him to believe it without evidence.

The man who was complaining to Wang Buquan jumped up when he saw Li Canghai. He pointed at Li Canghai's nose and shouted, "Brother, he shot me with an arrow!"

Wang Buquan was stunned for a moment, "What did you say?"

"Brother, he is the county magistrate! Not only did he order to open the gates of the city and let those untouchables enter the city, but he also wounded me with an arrow." The man stared at Li Canghai viciously, and said angrily.

Li Canghai's expression was calm, he took a sip of tea from the teacup, and said indifferently: "That's right, the injury on his hand was caused by me."

Wang Buquan was a little stunned, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Li, what's going on?"

Li Canghai stared at the man, and suddenly sneered: "I first arrived in Zhengyang City, but I was stopped by this man outside the city. Not only that, he also shot cold arrows to kill me. I only crippled one of his hands. I have shown mercy to him."

"In front of my elder brother, you dare to be so arrogant, I will destroy you today!" The man revealed a fierceness between his brows, and as he spoke, he stretched out his fist and punched Li Canghai.

Li Canghai sat motionless on the chair, stretched out two fingers as fast as lightning, and easily pinched the man's pulse.

At the same time, he kicked out with his right foot and accurately kicked the man's knee. The man fell to his knees with a plop, screaming in pain.

This 'Liuyun Finger' is a self-defense technique taught to him by Di Qing. After practicing to a great degree, two fingers can easily pierce through bricks and stones.

Naturally, Li Canghai didn't have that kind of skill, he only learned a little superficially, but it was enough to deal with local hooligans.

Wang Buquan's eyes shone brightly. He never expected that Li Canghai would know martial arts.

On the contrary, Zuo Hongji stretched out his thumb and praised: "Brother Li's move is like flowing clouds and flowing water, butterflies piercing flowers, really chic!"

Although he doesn't know martial arts, he can tell that Li Canghai's move is extremely beautiful.

Li Canghai stared at the man, and said calmly, "Since you don't want this arm, I don't mind getting rid of it for you."

As he said that, he exerted force with his right hand, only to hear a click, and the man let out a scream.

Li Canghai's eyes were slightly cold, he has always been merciless towards evil officials.

"Lieutenant Wang, you are such a good subordinate!" Li Canghai snorted angrily.

Wang Buquan had a gloomy face, he stood up, kicked the man, and said coldly: "You bastard, open your dog eyes and see clearly, brother Li is my distinguished guest, how could he be the county magistrate?"

The man drooped his wrist, tearing from the pain, he whimpered, "Brother, I didn't lie to you, he is really the county magistrate!"

"Did you fucking eyes grow on your butt? Do you think I don't know what the county magistrate looks like? Do you really think I'm so easy to fool?" Wang Buquan was a little annoyed, and raised his foot to face the man Kicked up.
