The next day, at dawn, Liu Yu was wearing a general's robe and armor. In his eyes, there were only red bloodshot eyes and tears. He squatted in front of Xie Jihu Cake Shop, which was burnt black and full of carbonized ruins. He looked at the cakes placed in front of him.
There was a row of corpses that had been burned to the point of being transformed into human beings. Their fists were clenched and their steel teeth were clenching.
A total of six corpses were lined up in front of him. Those of Xie Tingyun and his wife were placed at the front, followed by three corpses of Hu people, and the last one was that of a five or six-year-old child.
It has been burned to the point where its shape cannot be discerned and can only be seen from its body shape.
Not only this Hu Cake Shop, but the entire street in Nantang is already in ruins. The smell of burnt corpses fills the air. Nantang, which is dozens of steps away from here, has gone from being full of people yesterday.
The lotus leaves have turned into mud and you can see the mud at the bottom of the pond. That's because yesterday's fire almost dried up the entire pond in order to get water to put out the fire. You can even see it on this street that was completely burned by the fire.
There were many burnt grilled fish carcasses, and the idiom that the fire at the city gate affected the fish in the pond was extremely verified at this moment.
Liu Muzhi stood quietly beside Liu Yu. The nearest guards were more than twenty steps away. Ding Yi's cry sounded on the side and kept getting into Liu Yu's ears: "Brother Tingyun
Ah, why are you, why are you just leaving like this? Yesterday we were drinking together, and I promised you to come here to check out the store today. Why are you, why are you just leaving like this, without waiting.
Fierce bull?!"
Liu Yu closed his eyes, and a teardrop rolled down from his eyes. His voice was not loud, but it was like the prelude of a volcanic eruption, allowing Liu Muzhi to hear clearly: "Fat man, have you checked?
?”
Liu Muzhi sighed softly: "Jinnu, can you promise me not to act impulsively? I know your relationship with Brother Xie, but there are many parties involved. Can you calm down before making a decision?"
Liu Yu opened his eyes and said word by word: "Even if Brother Xie is burned like this, the swords and piercing spears on his body cannot be deceived. Together with these barbarian masters and his younger brothers and sisters,
Even Xiaoyun's injuries..."
Gritting his teeth, he stepped forward and used a wooden stick to fiddle with Xiaoyun's head, which had turned into charcoal. The stick fell off his neck. At the same time, he fiddled with the head of another charred corpse of a foreign master next to him.
, but it was intact around the neck. At this time, even a fool could see that Xiaoyun, the child, had almost lost his body and body before he was thrown into the fire and burned like this.
Liu Yu's eyes were blood red and he pointed at the corpses on the ground: "Did you see it, fat man? They were killed by others and then set on fire in order to destroy the corpses and eliminate traces. There are also eighty people who were burned to death on this street."
Seven innocent lives were also killed by these thieves. These dogs can no longer be called human beings. They just want to take away people's property and commit such murderous acts. No matter as a general or as a person, I, Liu Yu,
I will never let these beasts go!"
Liu Muzhi sighed softly: "It's all my fault. I was careless and didn't notice the conflict of interests. I thought they were just trying to make money, but I didn't expect..."
Liu Yu stepped forward and almost touched Liu Muzhi's face. The muscles on his face were beating slightly because of extreme anger: "Tell me who they are."
Liu Muzhi hesitated for a moment and said: "I don't have direct evidence now. I just captured a few people and are still interrogating them. I will wait for the results..."
Liu Yu turned around and said in a voice that was as calm as possible but could not be questioned: "Take me there, I want to interrogate you personally."
An hour later, in an inconspicuous abandoned courtyard on the outskirts of Jiankang, pig-killing screams could be heard. Immediately afterwards, after a hot iron pressed on the skin and flesh, the smell of burnt fat filled the small courtyard.
In a torture chamber, even a few guards standing outside could not help but cover their noses.
But Liu Yu's face was as dark as water. He was still dressed in the same clothes, sitting in the execution room, looking at the two guys in front of him who had been beaten into shape and covered with blood. The one who was branded just now was from yesterday.
The one who threatened Xie Tingyun was Yao Ermao, whose arms were covered with talisman patterns. The other one who was tied to the torture frame and covered with whip marks was Luo Bing.
A strong, bare-chested, and black-haired executioner dropped the iron in his hand and raised his hand to Liu Muzhi: "Chang Shi, I am guilty of being stunned!"
Liu Muzhi sighed and looked at Liu Yu: "Jinnu, you are cruel enough. If you hit him again, he will die. Once he dies, you can't ask anything. Moreover, we don't have direct evidence now."
, proving that they are related to this matter."
When Luo Bing heard this, he quickly shouted: "Commander, subordinate, I have been wronged. Don't misunderstand the villain's words and accuse a good person wrongly."
Liu Yu looked at Luo Bing coldly: "Good person? Please explain to me, why did you, a good person, take people to Xie's Hu Cake Shop to find Xie Tingyun after leaving me yesterday? Why did Xie Tingyun fight?
He punched you and made your face look like this? And why did you go outside the city in the middle of the night to intercept such a subordinate who you still had with you during the day? "
Luo Bing's expression changed slightly, and he shouted: "Commander, it's unjust, it's really unjust, who framed me like this, I want to confront him!"
Liu Muzhi sighed softly: "Okay, Luo Bing, hold on to your death, you will only suffer more physical pain. I have always suspected that you have secret connections with the high-profile families in the city, so I have been keeping silent for several months."
I sent someone to monitor you. Although I can't find out the things about you taking a secret way to the Wang family, but the other things the commander said were all my spies saw with their own eyes and cannot be denied. If nothing else, let's just say this
How do you explain why you left the city in the middle of the night?"
Luo Bing gritted his teeth and said: "Someone came to my house to steal, and I chased them all the way. Isn't that okay? It was only in the end that I discovered that the person who stole my property turned out to be Yao Ermao, a guy who called me a brother during the day.
If you have anything, just ask him, I don’t know anything else!"
Liu Muzhi also had an angry look on his face: "Well, you Luo Bing, you are still here to fight to the death and refuse to acknowledge it. Humph, it seems that you can't do it without some real means. Come on, give it to me..."
Liu Yu suddenly waved his hand: "Wait a minute, isn't he trying to be a hero? I'll give him this chance."
After saying that, Liu Yu stood up, picked up a basin of water on the side, and poured it directly on Yao Ermao, who was unconscious on one side. The cold water touched his burned wound, causing Yao Ermao to swell.
Zi Xing turned around, and then he howled miserably: "If you have the guts, please give me a good time!"
Liu Yu stared at Yao Ermao motionless, his eyes full of murderous intent made Yao Ermao's heart tremble, and he was speechless for a moment. He only heard Liu Yu's words, word by word, penetrated into his ears.
Middle: "Let me ask you one last time, besides you, who else killed brother Xie Tingyun yesterday?"
