In the silence, everyone kept the silence they should have.
The leader of the soldiers swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stared into Lide's eyes, as if he still had some doubts about the Yunyang lord who just broke in. But at this moment, Xiao Hei took a step forward, stood beside Li De, and said to the man:
"You, report your name!"
The other party immediately stood still, raised his chest and raised his head, and said loudly:
"The former old general's bodyguard, centurion Qing Huai!"
Xiao Hei continued:
"Okay! Brother Qinghuai, today you have entangled 6,000 people to gather outside Yunmeng City for the sake of justice. Lord Lord let me and Li De handle this matter for the sake of justice! But people made mistakes If you do something wrong, you will be punished. You gathered a crowd to make trouble, I think you are the first offender, and you plan to deal with only the culprit, and release all the rest, what do you think?"
Qing Huai clenched his teeth tightly, pouted his neck and said:
"If you want to kill or cut, let the Lord Shizi deal with it!"
Xiao Hei reached out and pulled out the knife stuck in the ground, this time without the scabbard. From the patterns and coldness of the blade, it can be seen that this sword is extraordinary. The light blue blade is surrounded by black lines, like a giant dragon with its teeth and claws imprisoned in it. Holding a knife in one hand, Xiao Hei sat and watched to chop off Qing Huai's head, but stopped at the last moment, the blade was only an inch away from Qing Huai's neck.
Qing Huai's clothes were soaked in cold sweat.
Xiao Hei calmly withdrew the knife. After looking at it for a while, he stretched out his hand to grab the knife casually. The blade cut his skin immediately, and blood flowed everywhere. Qing Huai turned pale with shock, but Xiao Hei's expression remained as calm as water:
"On the battlefield back then, if the old general hadn't turned the tide on his own, Nan Chu might not be able to become the second in the world today. The injuries you suffered on the battlefield back then were dozens or hundreds of times that of mine. Every one of you Personally, you should not die easily. You are the heroes of Nanchu, just like the old general Jiang Yuesheng! My son of Nanchu, Xiang Hei, swore with blood today that I will give you justice. If you can’t fulfill your promise in a month, I hold my head up to see you!"
Qing Huai looked at Xiao Hei's bleeding hand, closed his eyes, knelt down slowly, and said respectfully:
"Since this is the case, the brothers are naturally convinced."
After finishing speaking, he took a deep look at Lide, turned his head and said loudly:
"It's gone, it's gone! One month later, take the old general home—"
Six thousand veterans all dispersed. Lide shrugged his shoulders, threw the silk book in his hand to Xiao Hei, and said:
"Bandage the wound."
Xiao Hei inserted the knife back into the scabbard, took the silk scroll with his hands that were not stained with blood, put it in his arms, then shook off the blood on his hands, not bothering to do more treatment, and replied:
"Don't worry about it, it will heal soon. But... I didn't expect to involve you again this time."
Lied patted the dust off his body and said:
"Let me ask you something, Xiao Hei. Your father wants me to be the team leader of the investigation team. Did you really not know about this beforehand?"
Xiao Hei shook his head:
"I really don't know. The thing I regret the most now is that I didn't write you a letter when the bloody coat case first broke out, asking you to come back later. But no one thought that it would be so troublesome, and the more I checked, the more I felt something was wrong. My father did it inexplicably, logically speaking, it is impossible to assign this matter to your head, it is too dangerous."
Lide raised his eyebrows and said:
"Danger?"
Xiao Hei sighed, put the knife and scabbard back on his waist, and said to the following nobles:
"Uncles, today's banquet is probably going to be disbanded. You have all seen the specifics. Afterwards, the Blood Dress Case will be fully taken over by our Shizifu. I hope you will cooperate."
The nobles cupped their hands and said in unison:
"We must cooperate, we must cooperate!"
Xiao Hei smiled slightly, then turned to Li De and Xiao Bai, and said:
"Let's go, the three of us will talk alone."
Lid nodded.
Without the surrounding nobles, the night in Nanchu became clean and beautiful again in an instant. The wind at night wrinkled the thousands of miles of river water, Xiao Hei picked a root of miscanthus from the ground and held it in his mouth, and asked Li De:
"Lead, let me ask you a question. Are you saying that the bloody clothes case is really as difficult to investigate as the outside world says?"
Lied replied:
"Since it is a case, the plaintiff, defendant, witnesses, physical evidence, motive, time, and method of committing the crime are indispensable. After clarifying these, the truth will naturally be found out. This is different from the time in the capital. Look at it from top to bottom, and return to the case itself.”
Xiao Hei sighed and said:
"Yeah, Xiaobai and I also think so. However, nearly seven investigation teams were sent out one after another, and all of them died for various reasons. Some died on the way, and some died in the In the process of investigating the case, some died on the way back. My confidantes have already lost three. Unless I go there in person, it will be difficult to thoroughly investigate with the current resistance."
Lied asked:
"No, your Anbu organization in Nanchu is just for nothing? Is there no way to find out about this kind of thing?"
Xiao Hei looked at Li De, smiled wryly and replied:
"The Anbu organization, like the army, is scattered in the hands of various nobles. There is almost no place in the Eternal Heaven Kingdom, including your Yunyang, that we can't find out. But the only thing that matters at home, let your family look it up. It's always some kind of unclear mess."
Lid scratched his head:
"I understand. Cooperating with your father means that I am an outsider?"
Xiao Hei spat out the miscanthus in his mouth, turned around and said to Lide:
"When I sent you the invitation letter, there was no such thing as a bloody clothes case. I really didn't think about taking advantage of you. Now that my father has made an order, I can't refuse him on the surface, but the choice is yours." .If you are willing to stay and investigate the case, I believe in your ability and give you the power. After the matter is completed, I can promise you three if you don't ask too much. If you don't want to, Xiaobai and I will cover in private You leave Nanchu and return to Yunyang. We can talk about [Potian] later."
Lide didn't give a direct answer, but looked into Xiao Hei's eyes, and asked with a half-smile:
"I, Li De, dare to investigate this case, but do you, Nanchu, dare to admit what I found out?"
Xiao Hei and Lide looked at each other, and after a while, he nodded:
"My father won't lie to people in this kind of place. As long as you can find out the truth of the case, the lord's mansion will deal with it fairly according to the result; even if there is something wrong with my father, our Shizi mansion will dare to take this Take over the matter. Please investigate the case, I already owe you a favor, and I will definitely not let you down again."
Lide raised his head and looked at the moon in the sky. After a while, he picked up a stone from the ground, hit it seven times, and said lightly:
"Then check it out. I also want to see how many surprises you Nanchu have, I don't know."
