Although there is no conclusion yet, looking at the mess, I am afraid no one will be spared.
Li Luo's heart sank and he asked in a deep voice: "How many dead bodies were found? Are any of them alive?"
"There must be forty or fifty of these, and not one of them is alive."
"How many people are recorded in Wanhua Xiaoyuan?"
"I don't know much about this..." Kong Xiao saw Li Luo's face turned slightly cold and said hurriedly, "I'll check it out now." After saying that, he raised his voice and shouted, "Master's book, chief book."
An old man over fifty years old heard the sound and hurried over. He responded in a breathless and trembling voice: "Master Kong, the little one is here, the little one is here."
"How many people are there in Wanhua Xiaoyuan?"
The old man steadied his breathing and responded respectfully: "Sir, there are a total of seventy-three people on the list."
"Seventy-three people?" Li Luo frowned slightly.
"Exactly, there may be some who took leave and returned home, but not too many. If there is no accident, there should be about seventy people in Prince An's Mansion when the fire broke out."
"So much." Kong Xiao swallowed and looked at Li Luo anxiously, wondering what Li Luo's plan was.
Although Prince An is just a fallen prince, he still has the blood of the Li family. If the court investigates thoroughly, I am afraid that his position as a prefect will not be guaranteed, and it is difficult to say whether he can survive.
Li Luo looked cold and said in a deep voice: "Master Kong."
Kong Xiao trembled and responded quickly: "The official is here."
"Let all the officials and soldiers of the government search this place and count all the remains."
"I obey my order," Kong Xiao said urgently.
"how long?"
"Here," Kong Xiao gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Go back to the prince, two hours."
"Oh, two hours..." Li Luo pondered for a moment, frowning and saying nothing.
Kong Xiao's expression froze, with a sad face, and his lips trembled slightly as he said, "One and a half hours."
Li Luo hummed, smiled lightly and said: "Two hours is too hasty, let alone an hour and a half. Mr. Kong, do your best, the sooner the better."
Kong Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and responded loudly: "I will obey the order."
"Publish the work, carefully examine the corpses that have been found, and don't let go of any clues."
"Yes, I will take care of it now." Kong Xiao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, is it true that someone secretly plotted to kill Prince An?"
Li Luo looked at Kong Xiao calmly and said harmoniously: "Master Kong, no matter how indifferent Prince An is to the world, he is still the prince of Dagan. Now even the princes of the same lineage of the Dagan royal family have died without knowing why.
What do you think it will be like?”
Kong Xiao felt a chill in his heart. He forced a smile, not daring to ask or say more. He bowed in a hurry and trotted all the way to explain what Li Luo had ordered.
In just a few breaths, the policemen in Mianyang City were completely different from before and after. Not only were their hands and feet diligent, but they didn't care about the burning heat of the remaining fire. They just wanted to dig three feet into the ground and even search out the burnt rat corpses in the rat holes.
Le Shang stared blankly at Li Luo's back in surprise. There were still blood stains on the edge of the wooden knife on his back. He had come all the way and seemed to have become a stranger in the blink of an eye. The miserable corpse of the police officer on the ground seemed to be mocking Le Shang.
ignorance and fearlessness.
Li Luo frowned and had no time to look around. He and several other men in the city carefully examined the charred corpse that was carried aside. Now it was beyond recognition and it was impossible to tell who it was in the mansion.
After an hour, several widowers gathered together and whispered a few words. Among them, an elder who was over sixty years old came over and bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty."
Li Luo hummed lightly and asked softly: "How is it?"
"The villain has inspected thirteen corpses, and other colleagues have also conducted investigations. None of these corpses have suffered internal injuries, only some external injuries on the skin, which is a bit strange." The old man pondered.
"What's the blame?"
"If it's just trauma or flesh pain, it doesn't make sense that no one can escape no matter how big the fire is. It seems that people caught fire first, and then the fire in the house started."
"Could it be poisoning?"
"The villain also has this guess. I just took the remains from the corpse's stomach and tried it. There is no abnormality. If it is poisoned and it is not ingested through the mouth, then it is the smell." The old man responded in a deep voice.
Li Luo nodded, smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I understand, thank you."
The old man hurriedly saluted, bowed and stepped back without even saying he dared.
After another half hour, which was indeed less than two hours since Li Luo sent the order, the entire ruins were carefully rummaged through by the city's officers and soldiers, and sixty-three skeletons were found, with no one alive.
Li Luo felt a chill in his heart. It had been three days since the fire started. Even if someone in Prince An's Mansion managed to escape with his life, three days would be enough time for these killers to track him down.
Kong Xiao ran over with a face full of smoke and dust, and replied with a breath: "Your Majesty, I have searched them all. I will ask them to continue searching to see if there are any missing places."
"Master Kong is tired."
"Where, where? Your Majesty's words are serious. It's what a lower official should do. Your Majesty, does anyone really dare to assassinate a relative of the Emperor?" Kong Xiao asked cautiously.
"Well, it seems there won't be any lies."
Kong Xiao's face changed and he said loudly: "These thieves who have been stabbed a thousand times are so courageous. They dare to commit such blatant crimes. I must arrest them and bring them to justice."
"Master Kong, these assassins are not just ordinary gangsters who are just rogue gangsters. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come all the way to Mianzhou. I don't blame you for this matter."
Kong Xiao burst into tears of gratitude and knelt down to worship. The implication was that he blamed himself for not resolving Li Luofen's worries.
Li Luo accepted Kong Xiao's courtesy so that he could work with peace of mind, and then said in a harmonious voice: "There is one more thing that requires Mr. Kong's help."
"Your Majesty, please give me your orders. I will go through fire and water without hesitation." Kong Xiao responded in a deep voice.
"Mianyang City is under your jurisdiction. There are only sixty-three skeletons in Prince An's Mansion. Maybe someone escaped before the fire started. You order the officers in the mansion to search everywhere in Mianyang Mansion. If there is any information, report back.
In addition, a reward is offered in the name of the imperial court. Anyone who can find any clues about the incident in Prince An's Mansion, whether it is a person in the world, a commoner, or a soldier, will receive a generous reward."
"Your Majesty understands that the bigger the deal, the better. It's best if everyone in the government knows about it," Kong Xiao said with a smile.
Li Luo was slightly stunned. He really didn't expect the Mianyang prefect to have such foresight. If Mianyang Prefecture was full of soldiers, these assassins would have to restrain themselves no matter what.
Kong Xiao hurriedly sent an order and sent out all the government officers and soldiers guarding the city. Originally, these officers and soldiers were still complaining and had to run around again before taking a break. However, when they heard the reward that Kong Xiao endured the pain, they all
He was in high spirits, and he just wanted to bring the thief who committed the crime to Li Luo to receive the reward.
