Little Detective of the Tang Dynasty: What to do if you are beheaded at the beginning?

In the next cell, a thin man was grabbed by two jailers and dragged into a pool of boiling hot iron.

The jailers pressed his hands into the molten iron, and suddenly, a puff of green smoke rose, and the thin man screamed in pain.

When he was grabbed again, his hands were completely carbonized below the joints, which was horrible to look at.

Song Zhen was indifferent to it. He grabbed Liu Li's hair and smashed it against the wooden fence of the cell.

"See? This is the second dish of Dali Temple, braised chicken feet."

"Would you like to try it?"

Liu Li shook her head frantically: "Langguan, let me go. I will tell you everything you ask."

"Very good, I really appreciate your ability to know the times."

"The first question, when did you and the three of them start fooling around?"

Liu Li didn't even think about it and answered directly: "Three years ago, when I was delivering food to Xue Zhong, I ran into them by chance. They were coming down from the bow and saw me at a glance."

"At that time, I was very afraid of their naked eyes."

"I didn't expect that they would actually ambush in the grove on the shore, and then..."

"What to you?" Song Zhen didn't like the riddle man.

"That's it."

"Which one?"

"Strong."

Di Renjie frowned. That's not right. Since they were the ones who hurt her, why did Liu Li still stay with them?

"Why didn't you report it to the authorities?"

Liu Li smiled bitterly: "Report it to the authorities? Who cares?"

In ancient times, women would usually choose to remain silent when encountering such things.

If she didn't keep silent, her reputation would be ruined, and she would be despised by her husband and would not be able to marry again.

The main reason was that her status was not important enough. If she was the child of a wealthy family, the Luozhou government office might be more active than her family.

"How long did it last?"

"A long time."

Song Zhen looked at her meaningfully: "They made you feel comfortable, so you chose not to report them?"

"Yeah." Liu Li blushed and nodded.

One may not satisfy her, but three should be enough, right?

Di Renjie waved his hand angrily: "You are really shameless."

"Okay, okay, I don't want to know about the little things between you. I want to ask, how did your husband, Xue Zhong, die?"

"Ah? Is he dead?"

Liu Li shrank her head and muttered: "Hehe, he died, and we can only say that God has eyes."

"Congratulations, Xue Zhong is not dead."

"......"

"Do you want to know how Xue Zhong got addicted to gambling?"

"What do you mean?"

Song Zhen pointed to the cell next door and smiled slightly: "It was those three men who often took him to the underground gambling house and let him get addicted."

"?" Liu Li's eyes changed suddenly, no wonder.

She couldn't help but enter the reminiscence mode. Xue Zhong used to be honest and simple, frugal and thrifty, and the couple had a good relationship.

Seeing that life was getting better day by day, Xue Zhong suddenly fell in love with gambling and lost all his family assets.

Under no choice, in order to repay the debt, he had to sell his property.

Xue Zhong went from being the richest man in the village to the biggest loser in the village overnight. How could Liu Li, who was used to a rich life, accept this?

If she had complaints in her heart, she would not like the other person at all. Even if it was half a quarter of an hour, which was actually the normal level for a man, she would feel uncomfortable and picky.

Feelings are like a mirror. Once broken, it is difficult to repair.

Xue Zhong suffered from torture both in life and in psychology, but he could not get out of it.

He fell into the swamp of desire and could not extricate himself.

After Liu Li learned the truth, she fell into silence instantly.

Song Zhen knew the news because Qian Heqi, the owner of the gambling house, told him.

At that time, three people brought Xue Zhong here. Qian Heqi was very impressed because the appearance of these three people was so special.

"Okay, the second question." Seeing that Liu Li was still in a daze, Song Zhen pushed her.

"How did the fourth boatman from your village die?"

"I..." Liu Li's eyes dodged for a moment, as if she was unwilling to tell the truth.

Song Zhen raised the whip in his hand, which frightened her neck and she replied in a low voice.

"I, I saw them take the fourth boatman into the grove with my own eyes, and then there were bursts of screams from inside. As for what happened afterwards, I don't know."

"Why did they beat him?"

"Because, because, once when I came back from Longmen Grottoes, I was accidentally touched by the fourth boatman who was paddling, and then I had an argument with him. I thought he must be greedy for my beauty and wanted to take advantage of me, but he didn't see what he was like.Goods, are they a good match? "

When talking about this, Liu Li became more and more excited.

"After the quarrel, I wanted to end it like this, and I could bear it. But my mind was working fast. "

"Do I have to wait for something to happen before I can say anything? He scolded me so badly. And I feel that this wretched old man is not the first time to secretly observe me. "

Song Zhen asked curiously: "What did the fourth boatman scold you?"

"He scolded me for being sick!"

"You are indeed sick!"

"......"

"So, after you went back, you told your three lovers about this?"

"That's right. But Langguan, I just wanted to let them teach me a lesson. I really didn't let them kill anyone." Liu Li hurriedly defended herself.

Song Zhen waved his hand and said impatiently: "Okay, you don't have to explain."

"Serve the food. "

Really, seeing this kind of person is unlucky, is he paranoid?

Poor boatman Lao Si, what did he do wrong?

When rowing at the stern, he doesn't look ahead, but behind?

Besides, there are more than just Lao Si, the boatman crossing the river. According to Song Zhen's observation, there are at least more than 50 boats.

Because the construction of Longmen Grottoes has boosted the economy of Yihe Village, many villagers who are familiar with water have joined the boating army to support their families.

They are specially for picking up and dropping off the construction personnel of Longmen Grottoes.

Of course, the government has boats, but the boats are very large, and it is impossible for you or two people who suddenly turn back for something to do. Service, right?

Moreover, many relatives of the Ministry of Works staff would send sumptuous meals from time to time to help them replenish their bodies in order to show their sympathy for their relatives' hard work.

Song Zhen and Di Renjie, no matter how hard they thought, could not imagine that the boatman Lao Si died like this?

They had made many guesses before, either it was a vendetta, or an internal split, or the matter was exposed and the body was destroyed.

Is the truth like this?

In the boatman Lao Si's family, there are six relatives who are always looking forward to his return home.

Eighty-year-old mother, first wife, three sons, and a daughter.

But they can no longer wait for the words of their relatives, "I'm back."

Not far away, Liu Li's heartbreaking screams came, which lasted for a long time.

However, it still could not calm Di Renjie and Song Zhen's mood at the moment.
