Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

Li Tianze and Leng Youran quickly read the information on the paper.

Look at each other.

"Oh, by the way, here are the coroner's autopsy results. Most of them were beaten to death, and many of them were pregnant." Li Shuai placed another stack of papers on the square table beside the two of them.

"What did Magistrate Xiao say? Can you tell us how these people came here?" The Third Prince spoke at this time.

"I sent someone to interrogate them. Magistrate Xiao only said that he didn't know where those girls came from, and he just sent someone to receive them. He also said that those girls were mute when they arrived, and their arms were originally disabled."

"No, that's not the case." Leng Youran put down the confession in his hand and shook his head in denial.

Without waiting for the two to ask, he looked at them and continued seriously, "They are all good girls who were abducted by a mysterious organization. Whether they are mute or have disabled arms, they are all caused by humans."

Li Shuai: "You... City Lord Leng, how did you know this?"

Leng Youran's gaze fell on Li Shuai. She clearly felt that he wanted to call her Youran just now, but he stopped talking because of the presence of the Third Prince.

She smiled at him, then looked at Li Tianze, motioning him to speak.

Li Tianze took over the conversation, "It's like this, we rescued women with the same situation as them in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. We also know that those people not only sent these women to the Northern Frontier, but also..."

The Third Prince became more and more confused the more he listened.

Li Shuai heard a different meaning.

"These girls were deliberately made disabled just to send them to Shikoku?"

But why? They don’t send gifts to healthy people, but to these “disabled” ones.

"Yes, we arrested the people who worked for them before. They said that this was the requirement from above. Perhaps you don't know that all women with broken arms are good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting. As for their muteness, it's because we don't want them to escape one day and expose their secrets. If it weren't for the chance that we caught those people who worked for them, I'm sure we wouldn't pay much attention to these girls even if they appeared on the street one day."

The Third Prince gathered his cloak and asked the same question as Li Shuai, "Why? Shouldn't they have given good gifts? Why did they hurt these girls like that?"

Li Tianze took a sip of tea and said, "Third Prince, don't you know that many people have special hobbies?"

Li Shuai fell silent after hearing this.

In his memory, there were indeed many officials who liked these.

They appear to be decent people on the outside, but they actually do dirty things in private.

Perhaps because of their identities, they dare not show their habits openly in public.

However, these habits always need to find an outlet.

If it is true as Li Tianze and the others said, then Liaodong is obviously the place where they vent their anger.

As for those bones, Prefect Xiao also said that they were all collected together.

Why is it placed in the backyard of Xiao Mansion...

I guess they were afraid that the sudden appearance of so many corpses would cause panic among the people!

After all, this place is very close to Linnan.

She must be afraid that he would find out!

Fortunately, he had records of all the officials from Beijing or other places who passed through Linnan.

As for which officials they are, we can only continue the investigation in detail when we return to Linnan.

He used to wonder why those officials liked to go to Liaodong, a remote and poor place.

Now he finally knew the purpose of his coming here.

The Third Prince still didn't understand. Which man would not like a delicate woman, but would like a disabled one?

There are many women in his backyard, and each of them is as beautiful as a flower.

"Actually, none of this matters. Don't you notice the problem? Those people sent women like this to four countries. And do you think that the only people sent to other countries were from the Eastern Jin Dynasty?" Leng Youran reminded.

Li Shuai frowned slightly. "City Lord Leng means that the four countries all have people to support them, right?"

Leng Youran did not answer him, but looked at the Third Prince. The Third Prince had watched a big show in Xihu.

As long as he uses his brain more, he can figure out the mystery.

It would be meaningless if they were the ones to tell us everything.

The Third Prince was bewildered by her gaze and scratched his head, "City Lord Leng, why are you looking at me like that?"

Leng Youran: “…”

So this guy really doesn't intend to use his brain at all?

Seeing that he didn't know, she looked at Li Shuai again.

Li Shuai lowered his head, deep in thought.

He might not have thought of the key point before, but he noticed the look in Leng Youran's eyes when he looked at the Third Prince.

This reminded him of what the Third Prince had said to him in private.

It seemed like I figured it out all of a sudden.

"Please sit for a while, I'll be back soon." Li Shuai walked out of the front hall quickly.

The Third Prince was still in a daze, looking at Leng Youran and Li Tianze happily.

"Well, just tell me what you want to say. You know I don't deal with these things all year round, and I really can't do some things that require thinking."

Leng Youran and Li Tianze looked up at the sky in silence.

At the same time, I feel lucky in my heart.

It’s great that their family members are all smart.

If someone like the Third Prince really comes, they won't be able to bear it.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Magistrate Li will tell you in a moment."

Third Prince: “…”

He didn't want to listen to Li Shuai, as Li Shuai always looked at him with a look of disappointment.

He didn't want to be looked at like that again.

"Mr. Li, City Lord Leng is still..."

"Third Prince, let me tell you, it was the Sixth Prince. The people that Prefect Xiao brought with him were all people that the Sixth Prince had greeted before."

Before the Third Prince could finish his words, Li Shuai's voice came from outside the hall.

He just wanted to confirm, what if these people were just a coincidence!

But when he thought of the way Magistrate Xiao hesitated when he heard the Sixth Prince's name, he believed what Li Tianze and the others said was true.

This matter is not as simple as it seems.

"Sixth brother? How could that be? Did you make a mistake, or is it that Magistrate Xiao is talking nonsense?" In his subconscious, he still didn't want to believe that his sixth brother was someone else's bloodline.

Brothers occasionally quarreled with each other, and he had been thinking about what had happened before in his mind these past two days.

Although the sixth brother does not look much like their father, he looks very much like his mother.

Aren’t there many sons who look like their mothers?

just in case....

What if they were overthinking it?

Not only Li Shuai was speechless after hearing his words, but Leng Youran and Li Tianze were also speechless.
