Chapter 272 Hot and Sour Rice Noodles (6)
There is a small window as big as a palm on the top of the stone prison. The light from the lantern on the road pole shines through the small window, casting a dim light and shadow.
Li Zhou sat on the stone bed, looking calmly at the dim light without looking away.
At this moment, a sound of keys colliding with the lock of the cell door came from outside the door. Li Zhou raised his eyelids, then quickly lowered them, his expression calm.
With a "snap" sound, the door lock fell to the ground, the cell door opened, and someone walked in from outside the cell door.
As several people came in together, and torches were lit on the wall, the entire prison immediately became brighter. Because of the lit torches, the dim light became a shadow and could not be seen.
Li Zhou withdrew his gaze, walked down from the stone bed, saluted the people who came in, and said, "I've seen a few adults!"
His salute was very gentle!
In fact, when people from Dali Temple went to arrest Li Zhou yesterday, he had always had such a gentle and polite attitude. Such a gentle and harmless attitude seemed to be different from the murderer who brought out a heavy crossbow from the warehouse to kill the official. generally!
"Li Zhou!" The official standing in the middle wearing a crimson official robe called him.
Li Zhou looked at the official who spoke. Although he had never seen him before, it did not prevent him from accurately calling his name: "Lin Shaoqing!"
Lin Fei nodded towards him and asked, "Were you the one who did all this yesterday?"
Li Zhou nodded and said calmly: "I did everything! Sir, you can interrogate my men. I planned everything. I deceived them in the name of catching details!"
Lin Fei glanced at him and said, "I already know about this!" After a pause, he asked Li Zhou again, "Why?"
Why? Li Zhou didn't even raise his eyelids, and said in a calm tone: "Although I am a descendant of the clan, looking at the whole of Da Rong, I am afraid that I will not find a descendant of the clan who is more unlucky than me! My father is a gambler and ruined the family business. Everything is clean! When I was young, if I didn’t have the support of the clan and my family, I would have starved to death!"
"We are both descendants of the clan. They are well-dressed and well-fed, and live in luxurious houses. However, I wear old clothes donated by others and live in a dilapidated house. After one meal, I don't even get the next meal!" Li When Zhou said this, he couldn't help but sneered, "I'm not willing to give in!"
How can you be willing to do so? Living a life of being looked down upon by others, even though he has the reputation of being a member of the clan, he lives the most miserable life!
"As a so-called descendant of the clan, many ordinary people have a better life than me!" Li Zhou said, "How can I accept such injustice?"
"The clan blood in me is like a joke!" Li Zhou said this and sighed, "A casual piece of clothing and a meal from the same clan can last me several years. I think it's unfair. !”
"It's fine if they are better than me!" Li Zhou said calmly, looking at his calloused hands, which were the result of hard training day and night, "But we are both descendants of the clan, in what way are they stronger than me? ? I spend my days drinking and drinking, bullying others, doing evil things, doing evil things, being rich and unkind, but I can live such a life, I think it’s unfair!”
Li Zhou said these words in a very calm tone, but for some reason, Liu Yuantong, Bai Zhu and others heard his heart skip a beat. He glanced at Li Zhou's face subconsciously. I don't know why, but he always felt that these words were inappropriate. Lies, more like what Li Zhou was saying!
Li Zhou lowered his eyes, but the expression on his face remained calm: "So, I asked for justice myself!" He said quietly, "I need money!"
"I knew they were rich, and I didn't expect to live like this after my death!" Li Zhou said, "So, I joined forces with those who were doing ruthless business and deceived them to make money!"
"I want money!" After Li Zhou said this, he took a deep breath again and said, "Since it's not fair, I will ask for justice myself!"
Hearing this, Liu Yuan couldn't help but speak: "Have you ever thought that those little ladies are innocent?"
"What does that have to do with me?" When Li Zhou heard this, he didn't even raise his eyelids, "Those little ladies are indeed unlucky, but they are not the only unlucky people in the world?"
Li Zhou's tone was calm and indifferent: "I am also one of them! But this world will never pity poor people. The life of evil people is much better than that group of poor people! Since I did these things, this is the first time I have lived like that. The life of a group of clan members! Now, it’s just unlucky to be caught by you!”
When Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu heard this, they looked at each other subconsciously and frowned slightly.
Lin Fei looked at Li Zhou with an expression on his face: "So, you are doing all this just for money?"
Li Zhou nodded and said, "Not bad!"
This reason can't be found wrong with Li Zhou! He planned all of this because of his childhood experiences and hatred of injustice, and the reasons make perfect sense!
If the clan daughter hadn't been the first to have an accident, Li Zhou's answer would have been impeccable!
Lin Fei glanced at Li Zhou in front of him, and without any nonsense, he directly handed over the file in his hand.
Li Zhou raised his eyes and looked at Lin Fei in confusion.
Lin Fei said: "Your grandmother Li Yin was attacked on her way back to her hometown..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Zhou: "I know, Lin Shaoqing, stop talking! My grandmother is just an unlucky poor person! You see, there is never a reason for misfortune and pity in this world. In this case , do I need any other reason to do this?"
Lin Fei glanced at him, pointed at the file in his hand, and said, "You are wrong! There is a reason for your grandmother's misfortune!"
There was a crack in Li Zhou's extremely calm face from beginning to end. He looked at Lin Fei in surprise. When he came to his senses, he subconsciously lowered his head and looked at the file in his hand!
"Your grandmother Li Yin is a woman born in the so-called 'Yin year, Yin month, Yin sun, Yin time' as the sorcerers say," Lin Fei said, "Since you have become a knife in someone else's hand, you have come forward to fight with a vicious person. After many years of dealing with each other, you should understand what such a woman means in the hands of those people!"
Li Zhou's face suddenly turned pale, and his lips trembled subconsciously.
"Your grandmother Li Yin was really unlucky that her father, brother, and even her husband had accidents one after another back then! Because it was so old and the matter was not investigated in depth at the time, it is indeed quite difficult to investigate!" Lin Fei said, "But it's so old. If our predictions are correct, even if your grandmother Li Yin died due to the internal strife between the murderers, those charlatans and magicians would not let her body go easily!"
"So, I went to 'meet' your grandmother this morning," Lin Fei said, looking at Li Zhou, "You are now guilty of a crime, so it is inconvenient to intervene in this matter! I will go to the palace to invite your Majesty After receiving an imperial edict, we opened the coffin and conducted an autopsy!"
Li Zhou pursed his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but after a long pause, he still didn't say anything. He only raised his head and looked at Lin Fei: "What's the result?"
"Your grandmother has a distinguished status, and your family has been defeated for a long time. Many years have passed since then, and there are no records of injuries or illnesses. We can confirm your grandmother's identity!" Lin Fei said, "We can only confirm that the person in the coffin is of the same age. Your grandmother is facing you, and she is wearing the same robe that your grandmother wore when she was buried."
There are many women of the same age, and it is very easy to fake things like clothes and robes. The things happened so long apart, what else can be found out even if they are checked?
Li Zhou smiled bitterly: Sure enough, evil people are not punished...
Just as he was thinking this, he heard Lin Fei's voice speak again: "When your grandmother was in trouble, your father was already born, but the female body in the coffin..."
What happened to the female corpse in the coffin? Li Zhou's heart tightened and he looked at Lin Fei.
Lin Fei looked at him with clear and calm eyes: "That female corpse has never given birth!"
