Chapter 182 There is a case in the case

In this way, after Li Ye put on his makeup, he wore a patched ragged suit, and imitated the costume of the previous deceased man, and came to Wanxiangfang to beg for food.

Li Jiuzhou and Old Man Zhang led a few subordinates and stared at them in secret.

These men are Li Jiuzhou's own guards and Lingwu's yamen runners, so he dare not use them.

Li Jiuzhou's martial arts skills are not as good as Old Man Zhang, so he specifically instructed him that if he encounters a crisis, Old Man Zhang should protect Li Ye no matter what.

After a while, Li Ye was invited in by the boss's wife.

Li Jiuzhou winked at Old Man Zhang. Old Man Zhang understood, and his figure flashed, and he followed him quietly.

Not two people came out for a long time.

"They never came out again after they went in. There would be no accident, right?" A guard asked Li Jiuzhou in panic.

Li Jiuzhou frowned slightly, and was also very worried about the safety of the two inside, but he still smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I believe that they will adapt to the situation inside."

I waited until the sky was dim and Wanxiangfang was closed, but there was still no movement.

Several guards couldn't help but said to Li Jiuzhou: "Jingdu, should you break in and take a look?"

"No." Li Jiuzhou looked confident, "Wait for a while."

At night, a group of people were still staring at the room.

Suddenly, the door creaked open and a figure quietly walked out.

It's Li Ye.

"But what are you finding?" Li Jiuzhou couldn't wait to ask.

Li Ye shook his head, "I guess they have recognized me a long time ago, so they just took me to have a meal."

"Aren't you worried about them being poisoned?" Li Jiuzhou asked her with a smile.

Li Ye gave him a blank look: "Didn't you say you would arrange for someone to protect me secretly? Are you perfunctory?"

Li Jiuzhou scratched his head and felt embarrassed to be questioned like this by a beautiful woman.

He also knew that the beggar Li Ye pretended to be would definitely be recognized and asked her to go there was just an eye-catching way. By the way, he also reminded the boss lady to confuse her vision.

After a while, Old Man Zhang came back.

"I found out their den." Old Man Zhang said excitedly, "just in the backyard."

"Oh..." Li Ye understood and pointed at Li Jiuzhou and said, "So you used me as bait."

Li Jiuzhou laughed, "Sorry, I'm scared."

"I wasn't frightened." Li Ye touched his stomach, "It's not in vain to have a meal."

Li Jiuzhou and Old Man Zhang looked at each other and laughed.

As soon as the next day, a group of men and women came to cause trouble outside Wanxiangfang Gate.

Seeing that the time had come, Li Jiuzhou brought people to appear.

These were Li Jiuzhou's plans. He pretended to ask the whole story. Everyone said that the rouge powder I bought in Wanxiangfang had been bought before. After going home, they had red rashes on their faces. They also said that the rouge would cause scorching pain on their faces.

These people were found by Li Jiuzhou and came to cause trouble on purpose.

"How is it possible? My Wanxiangfang products have never had quality problems." The boss lady came forward to defend herself.

"Look at them, they have rashes on their faces, and they say your product is fine?" Li Jiuzhou asked her, "Are you harming people with poisons in the rouge powder?"

"It's unfair." The boss's wife shouted, "How dare I harm people."

"The public is in a state of anger now. If you don't find out how you produce these rouge powder, I'm afraid this matter is unreasonable." Li Jiuzhou said, stretched out his hand and waved his hand, and Old Man Zhang rushed in with a few guards.

The boss wanted to stop him, but it was too late, let alone these officials in the government, how dare they stop him at will.

"I found it, these rouge powders are indeed made of arsenic." Old Man Zhang hurried out and said, "There are still a lot of arsenic in the house."

When the onlookers heard this, they were all shocked. The person who originally bought rouge and water powder was also shocked. Unexpectedly, they came to buy the best rouge and water powder every day, which was actually made of arsenic.

Li Jiuzhou glanced at the boss's wife and said coldly: "You are so cruel to make money, and your crime is unforgivable."

The boss's wife shouted: "The little girl is wronged."

"Little woman?" Li Jiuzhou snorted, "If you are a little woman, what's the woman in the world? I think you are clearly a beast wearing a mask."

Li Jiuzhou looked at the boss's wife coldly, and the affirmation in his eyes seemed to have already seen through the person in front of him.

The boss's wife was stunned and shouted angrily: "Even if you are an official, you cannot frame people like this. You cannot say some words randomly."

Li Jiuzhou sneered: "I'll know if you're talking nonsense."

When the boss lady standing in front of him heard this, her face changed and she turned around and was about to run away in a hurry. Li Jiuzhou had noticed it, so he grabbed him suddenly and pulled it to the back of the boss lady's neck. A piece of her face was torn off, revealing the old skin inside.

Everyone present was shocked at this time. Who would have thought that behind the boss lady who looked so beautiful was an old Taoist priest?

It turned out that when Li Jiuzhou came to buy arsenic that day, he saw something strange from her hands.

Women's skin will not be so rough. Even if they are older, as long as they are not farmers, the skin on their hands will not be as blue as men's and have large pores.

And that day, Li Jiuzhou discovered that this seemingly beautiful boss lady had her hands like an old man.

At that time, he suspected that the boss lady was dressed by a man, so he designed it to see what his purpose was.

The old Taoist priest asked someone to make a human skin mask and put it on his face. He thought he was perfect, but Li Jiuzhou saw it through. Although the human face looked young, his hands were rough and wide, and his hands did not match his age, and even more so did their gender.

Seeing that he had been exposed, the old Taoist priest laughed helplessly and said, "You have seen through Shishi's life."

As he said that, the old Taoist priest suddenly broke free from Li Jiuzhou's shackles, rushed to a pillar and hit him.

When everyone realized it, it was too late. The old Taoist priest died. There was no way to know the truth. Several people had to deal with his body, arrested all the people involved in several cases, and seized Wanxiangfang together.

After a series of interrogations of the others in Wanxiangfang, Li Jiuzhou learned that the person who led all these incidents was the old Taoist priest, and the rumors in the market were not false. This old Taoist priest was indeed the Taoist who walked out of Xuanwu Temple ten years ago.

The old Taoist priest knew that using arsenic could help people maintain their appearance, so he opened the Wanxiangfang and found a few inconspicuous and low-key workers who looked insignificant and tested them. In the end, it resulted in excessive doses of arsenic and a murder.

The cause of the little boy's father's death was found out, but what does this have to do with the murder in the cave, and what does it have to do with Liu Changqing's affairs?

Why did the old Taoist priest commit suicide? Does he have any secrets?
