When things have reached this point, there is not much time left for Li Ling and the others, and we must catch the flaws and clues as soon as possible.

So soon, more than a hundred guards who were originally guarding the inn disguised and walked around the streets in the city to inquire about the fire in the government office last night.

But what was surprising was that after half a day, they came back one after another until dark, but they didn't get much. No one was speculating or discussing about the fire last night. The only gain was that the two who died were indeed clerks in the government office, one of whom was surnamed Zhao and the other one of Qian, both of whom were very low-key and had never heard of anyone having any grudges with.

As for the two families, there was no one who shouted for justice. They just arranged the funeral silently. Only when they arrived in front of the two families could they hear a little depressed crying. Moreover, when they were investigating the situation of the two families, they also found that Ma Bangwen actually brought several government officials to the door to pay their respects, and he really showed his posture.

If he had not become suspicious, Li Ling would sigh after hearing this matter. This Prefect Ma was indeed a good official who had no airs and treated his subordinates well. But now, after suspicion, he had to doubt whether the other party came to pay condolences or secretly threatened the two families not to cause trouble. Or, he might just do it for himself.

However, there is one thing that Li Ling is still very concerned about, that is, the two corpses were not sent back to each house immediately, but were placed in the morgue of the government office. Although there was a proposal on the government office, it was for the final decision and for the worship of colleagues in the government office. However, the matter was still uneasy.

"You said, will they destroy the corpse?" Li Ling suddenly made a guess after pondering for a while.

But Li Moyun was a little stunned: "No...no need...is it..."

"It's hard to say that it's two lives or the lives of officials registered in the government. If someone keeps his mind, or if we ask someone to investigate later, and they are guilty of being a thief, destroying the corpse is the safest countermeasure."

"What does the young master mean?"

"Before they have done the work, let's take the corpse to check and confirm their true cause of death." Li Ling made a decision without hesitation, "Just tonight, how many people can you take you there."

Li Moyun grinned and stole the body, but he had two burnt corpses. He had never thought about such a thing. But since it was the young master's intention, he had to do it no matter how difficult he felt it was, so he agreed and then made arrangements.

The night soon fell again, and the entire Yingzhou City fell into the tranquility of the past.

After experiencing the fire last night, the government offices no longer had the loose guards as before. There were lanterns passing by from time to time in the front and back doors, as well as in the courtyards. Of course, this was only the first midnight, and in the second midnight, the surroundings became quieter and the sky became colder, so these people hid lazily.

At this time, Li Moyun and several others, who had been hiding in the dark, were waiting for opportunities, bowed quietly. After crossing the not-so-high wall, the five or six people in the group looked exactly and headed straight for a room in the corner of the second hall.

This room is a long distance away from other entrustment rooms, and the location is extremely remote, as if it has been deliberately opened to its relationship with other places. Because this is the least popular morgue in the yamen, generally the bodies of the deceased in the unfinished case will be placed here, and the coroner will check it, and then further disposal will be made after the case is clear.

The regulations of the yamen in various places in Dayue are the same, and Li Moyun has been working in the Yangzhou government office for two or three years with Li Ling, so it is naturally very easy to find a morgue. Without hesitation, he came to this lonely house, which was also in black and dirty.

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but when it comes close to this place, the temperature is much lower than elsewhere. A gust of wind blows through the hall, which makes these men feel a little scared.

Seeing that everyone else was a little restrained, Li Moyun couldn't help laughing, and then stepped forward first. With a glance, he saw that the door was not locked. There was nothing else in the morgue except the corpse. It was in the yamen, so naturally there was no need to guard against thieves. He immediately reached out and pushed it slowly.

The somewhat heavy portal creaked and slowly opened, revealing the space inside, which was black and strange, which made Li Moyun's brows frown even tighter. But he did not stop and walked in decisively. The others left two guarding in front of the door, while the others followed in.

There were several beds in the room with wooden boards, and a not-small wooden table. There were also half a candle and an oil lamp on it. Li Moyun signaled one person to light the oil lamp, and he came to the nearest bedside, lifted the cloth covered with his head with one hand to check the body below.

The firelight lit up slightly, and there was only a slack body in front of me. There was no wound at the moment, but one thing could be confirmed, it was not a scorched corpse. Without hesitation, the few people immediately walked towards the other corpses and took a look. There were five corpses here, which didn't take much time. After a while, they found the target.

Two half-carbonized corpses were lying there. A strange smell came up after the cloth was lifted, making the faces of several people look a little ugly. I didn’t realize it before, but now I have been in close contact, and I realized that the corpse is really hard to hold on. If I really carry it back, I would probably even have to vomit overnight meals.

Just as the few were embarrassed and planned to take the cloth covering the body back, a rustling sound of footsteps suddenly sounded outside. Without Li Moyun's greeting, the oil lamp had been blown out, and the few people hid quickly, and the two people guarding outside also flashed to the dark side of the house.

After a while, four more people came over sneaking over, their steps were a little dragged, and some people muttered: "Sir, too. In the middle of the night, we asked us to move the two bodies out of the city and bury them. That thing is not easy to use. Fortunately, we found two large cloth pockets, otherwise..."

"Okay, complain again, be careful to let you accompany these two unsightly guys. Just do things according to the adult's wishes, why not talk about it!" As one of them whispered, the few of them stopped talking, quickly stepped forward, and opened the door of the morgue when they were familiar with each other. But even so, the four of them shivered together, and someone muttered again: "Don't blame Lao Zhao, Lao Qian, we brothers have no choice." As he said that, he entered the door one after another, and then went straight to the two burnt corpses.

Because of their guilt and no idea that there would be any change, they didn't look around at all. Naturally, they didn't know that behind them, a few figures hiding behind the door had taken the opportunity to lean on.

Just as they were busy putting the body into the cloth pocket he brought and wanted to carry it away, a strong wind suddenly came from behind, and they were hit by a few blows. They were all hit by the back of their necks and couldn't even scream, so they fell to the ground. For these good men of the imperial guards, sneaking attacks on several yamen servants was like having a meal.

"It's a waste of time now. We can easily take the body out without our arrangement." Someone smiled satisfied. However, Li Moyun said after sweeping over the four people who fell to the ground: "In this way, let's carry one of them one by one, and then go back."

"They took them away together?" the few people said a little surprised.

"Yes. These people are obviously here to steal the body. They just happened to ask the young master for some inside information. Don't stay there, let's go." As he said that, he cleverly lifted the fainted guy on his shoulder. The other people were stunned, then understood and did as they did, and then they made the two people who were showing off the air outside the door, because when they heard the sound, there were only the two burnt corpses in cloth bags on the ground...

The fourth update was about to end, and several people carried people and bodies and climbed over the wall to return to the inn. Li Ling did not fall asleep, and was still waiting for the result in the room. Seeing that they brought so many back, he was shocked. It was not until Li Moyun said that he realized it and his expression became solemn: "It seems that our speculation is indeed good."

"Young Master, should we check the body first or ask the person?"

"Well, ask the people first, probably they are about to wake up." Li Ling smiled and asked someone to leave only one person in front of him. Then his subordinate brought a bucket of water and poured it on the other side.

The guy who was already in a coma suddenly trembled all over and woke up. His mind was still a little confused, not knowing where he was. Until Li Ling asked in a low voice, "What's your name? What position do you hold in the government office?" He realized, remembered what happened before the coma, and shouted: "Who are you? So brave..."

Before he could say the threatening words, a knife was already crossing his throat: "If you dare to shout, you will be speechless again!" But Li Moyun immediately took action.

As soon as he saw this, the man immediately became timid and his voice quickly became weak: "Okay... a good man spares his life. The young man is just a servant in the yamen. If you want power, you have no power, you have no money, and it's useless to tie me up..."

"Hmph, do you think I am a kidnapper?" Li Ling immediately showed his identity. It was not until this time that the other party saw his appearance clearly, and then his body was shocked again, but he recognized him: "Mr. Li, you are Mr. Li from the capital..."

"It's good to say that I know it's me. I'll get you for nothing else. I just want to ask something. If you can answer honestly, you will naturally be safe. But if you don't want to tell the truth, don't blame me for using some tricks on you." Li Ling's momentum was suppressed, and the other party suddenly became frightened. If he hadn't been soft and lying down, he would have kowtowed: "Sir, just ask, the younger one must know everything..."

"Very good, let me ask you, what is your name and what do you do in the yamen?"

"The little one is called Li Sihai, and he is a hard-working servant in the government office."

"Oh? Then what do you want to do when you suddenly ran to the morgue tonight?"
