Chapter 622

Li Yuanhe also nodded as he watched the soldiers tensed up. Then he said, "you will extend the distance of the guards by 20 steps to ensure that there is no one around you!" After hearing Li Yuanhe's order, the soldiers all bowed their heads and clasped their fists, and then they ran directly to the outside for a distance of 20 steps, still intently guarding. The reason why Li Yuanhe gave such an order was not that he could not trust these soldiers, but to ensure that the fewer people knew about it, the better!

After arranging the soldiers for the guards, Li Yuanhe took Cheng Hu and other five men into the army account. At the moment, as usual, the army tent was full of weapons and armor. Six people came in at once, which made the tent seem a little crowded. Two torches were hung on the pillars on both sides of the camp, so although the tent was not transparent, there was still plenty of light inside.

The curtain is covered with white cloth, but the curtain is covered with a thick piece of cloth in the center. Only from the outline of the coarse white cloth, it can be seen that there is a human shaped object under the white coarse cloth. Li Yuanhe looked at the table, but he couldn't help but step back. If Wei Da didn't hold him in time behind him, maybe Li Yuanhe would fall on the ground.

Li Yuanhe took a deep breath, which indicated that Wei Da, who helped himself behind him, let go, and then slowly walked to the wooden platform. Li Yuanhe stretched out his hand several times, but he was still ruthless enough to pull the white coarse cloth apart. On one side, Qian Laojiu, who knew the truth under the white cloth, saw it and said, "general! It's better to go back today! I'll see you some other day. "

However, Li Yuanhe shook his head, refused Qian Laojiu's proposal, and took a deep breath again. This time, he directly grasped a corner of the white cloth and lifted it vigorously, revealing what was underneath the white cloth. After Li Yuan and Cheng Hu and Xu Liansheng met, they almost didn't scream out. Their eyes were staring at him, and they looked at the things on the wooden platform in disbelief. What I saw on the wooden platform was a corpse. Looking at the bloodstained face of the corpse, the dead man was no one else. It was Luo Yan who had not been exposed for a long time!

Since the last time Li Yuanhe and Luo Yan and Wang also escorted Luo Tianhan's coffin to Biancheng, Luo Yan often came to find Li Yuanhe in the first few days. Although Luo Yan was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, his work was not busy in the summer. He was only busy at the end of the year. However, after a few months, Luo Yan never came to find Li Yuanhe and Wang again. Li Yuanhe also felt strange at the beginning, and wanted to take the initiative to find Luo Yan. However, the news from the official residence of Hubu is that Luo Yan has not entered the court for a period of time, and the inn where Luo Yan lives has no news of him. Li Yuanhe realized that there must be something wrong with an official from Wupin who disappeared in Biancheng.

So Li Yuanhe immediately asked Qian Laojiu with a group of people from Jingnan city to investigate in Bian City, but there was no rescue. Before Li Yuanhe was ordered to March south, so this matter was delayed. After Li Yuan and his triumphant return, Qian Laojiu began to explore again, but this time, the investigators were replaced by Li Yuanhe and the elite in the army. Some time ago, Li Yuanhe also got the news that Luo Yan's family members, who should have arrived in Biancheng long ago, were all missing, apparently suffering from the same fate as Luo Yan.

He had already guessed that Luo Yan might have suffered misfortune, but seeing Luo Yan's body with his own eyes, Li Yuanhe was still full of shock and sadness. At the beginning, when Li Yuanhe was still a nobody, it was Luo Yan who recommended him to be a soldier. Later, in the southern city of Beijing, he helped him in many ways. Although Luo Yan's assistance to Li Yuanhe also has his own purpose, this does not erase the fact that he has the gratitude to Li Yuanhe. Besides, Li Yuanhe and Luo Yan had a deep friendship with Luo Yan in addition to their interests, and they were definitely stronger than Wang. Now seeing Luo Yan's death, Li Yuanhe can't bear it. He can't help holding his fists tightly, clenching his teeth, glaring at his eyes, and fiercely saying, "brother Luo! You can relax! I, Li Yuanhe, swear to avenge you

In addition to Wei Da and Wei San, Cheng Hu, Xu Liansheng and Qian Laojiu all followed Li Yuanhe and Luo Yan from Jingnan city to Bian city. They were comrades in arms when they fought in Jingnan city. At this time, they are also like Li Yuanhe, their faces are full of grief and indignation, and at the same time, they nod their heads.

Among these people, Cheng Hu was the most calm. He took a deep breath and said to Li Yuanhe, "general! Lord Luo's hatred! We must report! But please don't get excited. We can look at Lord Luo's body. Maybe we can find out how Lord Luo was killed. It's not sure that we can find out the murderer! "

Hearing Cheng Hu's persuasion, Li Yuanhe also nodded. At last, he loosened his clenched fist slowly. Then he looked at Luo Yan's body, but his brows wrinkled again. We can see many scars on Luo Yan's body. Although these scars look terrible, they will never cause death. Obviously, Luo Yan suffered a lot before he died. Looking at the scar on Luo Yan's body, Li Yuanhe couldn't help but shout: "what a vicious thief!"Fortunately, Li Yuanhe had already let the guards outside the camp leave a certain distance to ensure that no one is passing by. Otherwise, Li Yuanhe's roar might be heard by others. Under the persuasion of Cheng Hu and Qian Laojiu, Li Yuanhe forced his anger down. However, he could not see Luo Yan's devastated body any more. Even if he gave the task to Cheng Hu and others, he stood aside and sulked.

Wei Da and Wei San are both martial arts men who only know how to dance with swords and guns. They can't help either. Besides, they don't know Luo Yan, so they can't get in the way. They can only stay with Li Yuanhe. The remaining three, Cheng Hu, Qian Laojiu and Xu Liansheng, gathered around Luo Yan's body and began to examine Luo Yan's body bit by bit. Qian Laojiu is the main one in this work. After all, Qian Laojiu had worked as a yamen servant for a while before, so he has some understanding of this work.

What's surprising is that Xu Liansheng can also help a lot. Before that, Xu Liansheng had been with Kong Ling, but Kong Ling intended to cultivate a helper for himself, so he threw all kinds of books to Xu Liansheng all day long. Moreover, there are various kinds of books. At the beginning, Xu Liansheng was confused. After that, Xu Liansheng gradually got used to it. With the help of Kong Ling, Xu Liansheng's insight increased a lot.

Not long ago, Xu Liansheng read a book about autopsy from Kong Ling. Although Xu Liansheng's knowledge from the book is only a superficial one, today's examination of Luo Yan's body is of great help. With Qian Laojiu and Xu Liansheng, together with Cheng Hu's help, they checked Luo Yan's body more than an hour later.

Immediately, Qian Laojiu and others cleaned up briefly, and finally covered Luo Yan's body with white cloth. And Qian Laojiu turned to Li Yuanhe, who had been standing beside him in a daze, and said, "general! We have already checked it out! "

After hearing Qian Laojiu's words, Li Yuanhe turned around and looked at the wooden platform covered with white cloth. After a long breath of relief, he nodded to the three people and said, "go ahead, what's your discovery?"

Three people, you look at me, I look at you, and finally Qian Laojiu explains: "report back to general! According to our investigation, Lord Luo's death time should be ten days ago! Although there are scars all over the body of Lord Luo, the cause of his death is not because of these injuries. His subordinates used a silver needle to detect Lord Luo's abdomen. The silver needle turned black, so Lord Luo probably died of poisoning! "

"Poisoning?" Li Yuanhe frowned. It's strange that Luo Yan was not killed with a sharp blade, but poisoned with poison.

Qian Laojiu continued: "in addition, according to our inspection and judgment, the reason why Lord Luo has so many scars should be left by being tortured for a long time! One of the earliest scars has been more than a year, which coincides with the disappearance of Lord Luo! So my subordinates judge that when Lord Luo just disappeared, he had been caught! And the latest scar is just scarring just now. I don't think it will be too long! "

Li Yuanhe's brows frown even more, torture? That is to say, what information does someone want from Luo Yan? But what secret did Luo Yan know that he was caught and tortured for such a long time? Luo Yan is a wise man who knows how to judge the situation. He is definitely not a tough guy who doesn't even want his life for any faith. Under being tortured by others, it can be seen that the secret Luo Yan wants to keep is extraordinary!

At that time, it seems that the reason why he talked with Wang Nanjing in the evening was that he had a secret with Wang Nanjing! Is it because of this secret that Luo Yan was arrested?
