He was seriously injured this time. Ruyi said that Wu Ying used concealed strength in that palm. If he hadn't avoided the vital parts by chance, he wouldn't have been able to hold on until now.
Even so, that palm had hurt his lungs. After a night's rest, his body was still weak and he couldn't exert much strength.
The feeling of being idle and bored was very uncomfortable. He wanted to go out for a walk. Although he was weak, he still had some strength to walk. However, Ruyi didn't allow it, so he had to lie on the bed and rest.
There were several thin books at the foot of the bed, most of which were novels. They were bought on the street. He was bored at that time, so he just turned a few pages and didn't touch them.
In fact, he only needed to think about what kind of book he wanted to read now, and the content of the book would appear in his mind by itself. There were no books in this world in the library, and he didn't need to buy them specially. After touching them, the same book would appear in his mind like copying and pasting. It was just that others couldn't see or touch it.
However, he would get tired of it after a long time. If there was nothing urgent, he would rather hold a physical book in his hand and read it in the sun. It was a feeling that was hard to get rid of.
Xiao Huan was afraid that he would be bored in the room alone, so she brought a small stool in and sat by the bed to chat with him.
She talked about the missing rabbit, the second miss rode out to look for him, and the horse found him because it smelled the young master's scent. The horse's nose was really more sensitive than that of a dog's. It made a great contribution this time, so he should feed it more horse fodder when he went back …
While the maid was talking, Fang came in from outside and told Li Yi that people from the county government came.
They were County Magistrate Liu and County Magistrate Wang.
County Magistrate Liu had just returned from the crime scene. It was a major case involving five lives. As the county magistrate, he had rushed over as soon as possible when such a serious case happened in the jurisdiction of Anxi County.
"Is County Magistrate Li all right?" As soon as County Magistrate Liu entered the room, he walked to the bedside and asked with concern.
He had known that County Magistrate Li was kidnapped by bandits, but he didn't have time to come here until the murder case was more important.
Li Yi smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Lord Liu. It's no big deal. I'll be fine after a period of rest. It's just that I'm afraid I'll have to delay my official duties during this period."
"County Magistrate Li, take a good rest and don't worry about official business. I will arrange all these." County Magistrate Liu waved his hand and said.
"Thank you, Lord Liu." Li Yi cupped his hands.
County Magistrate Liu said some polite words and asked about Li Yi's well-being. Then he looked at Li Yi and asked, "I heard that County Magistrate Li was kidnapped by those villains yesterday. Do you know how those villains died?"
Thinking of the scene he had just seen in the wilderness, County Magistrate Liu felt a chill in his heart.
Five lives! They had already investigated four of them. They were bandits wanted by the neighboring prefectures, and they had a lot of cases on hand. Some time ago, they fled to Anxi County. County Magistrate Liu had just received the official document from the Ministry of Justice. He only hoped that those guys would leave as soon as possible and not commit any more major crimes under his jurisdiction.
Then, as expected, a major crime happened.
The difference was that this time, the bodies of the four vicious bandits were exposed in the wilderness, and they looked very frightened, as if they had encountered something terrible when they died.
Looking at County Magistrate Liu, Li Yi said solemnly, "To be honest, after being knocked out by those villains yesterday, it was already late at night when I woke up in the wilderness. I thought I couldn't escape, but I don't know why those people all died suddenly. Maybe they had an internal strife and died together."
County Magistrate Liu stared at him for a long time and said, "I'm afraid that's the only possibility. Those villains deserved to die. As long as County Magistrate Li is safe, it's fine."
Although he said so, he didn't believe it at all.
The four people were all killed with one blow, and there was no sign of struggle or resistance before they died. Or it could be said that the people who killed them didn't give them a chance to resist at all. It couldn't be caused by an internal strife.
The dead man in the shack was blind in one eye, and his throat was slit. The bloodstained knife on the ground was County Magistrate Li's knife.
When County Magistrate Liu looked at the smiling young man on the bed again, he suddenly felt a chill from the bottom of his heart.
This case had come to an end …
Those villains deserved to die, and those who killed them not only didn't do anything wrong, but also made meritorious service. As for the man in the shack, he was a famous ruffian in Anxi County, who intended to murder an official of the imperial court, and also died in an internal strife. County Magistrate Li survived the disaster and escaped from the villains, which was a great fortune in misfortune.
Good people lived long, and bad people died. This was the best ending.
In this way, this case could be closed.
"County Magistrate Li is not feeling well, so I won't bother you anymore." Due to the need of the case, County Magistrate Liu asked some details about how he was kidnapped. As for other things, he kept silent, seeming to believe that those people were killed because of internal strife. Not long after that, he naturally said goodbye to Zhang Tie.
"I'm not feeling well, so I won't see you off, Lord Liu."
Seeing County Magistrate Liu and County Magistrate Wang walking out, Li Yi recalled the words revealed by County Magistrate Liu and County Magistrate Wang, and understood his attitude.
Although he was a victim, it was a case involving five lives after all. If it was investigated further, it would be a little troublesome. This time, he owed County Magistrate Liu a favor.
Thinking of what happened yesterday, he was still a little depressed. He didn't offend anyone, but he met Wu Ying, that pervert, and almost died again. If Ruyi didn't come yesterday, would he travel through time again …
"Are you okay?"
Lying on the bed in a depressed mood, a familiar voice came from the door.
Li Yi glanced at MIngzhu angrily. If he had been tied with more gauze, he would have become a dumpling. Did he look okay?
"Bring everything in." MIngzhu turned around and said. Then, two people carried a box in.
"What's this?" Li Yi looked up at him.
"It's the precious medicine in the palace. It's useless to put it aside. You can keep it." After the two people put down the box, they left. MIngzhu walked in, followed by a white-haired old woman, who looked at Li Yi lying on the bed with her turbid eyes.
"What happened yesterday?" Seeing that his face was a little pale, but it seemed that he was not seriously injured, MIngzhu didn't worry anymore. She walked to the bedside and asked.
"Don't mention it. I met a lunatic." Li Yi didn't want to continue this topic.
"Lunatic, you mean Wu Ying?" MIngzhu looked at him with a little curiosity. She looked at him and asked, "How did you kill him?"
With her identity, it was only a matter of a word for her to investigate the identity of the dead in the shack. What she was curious about was that Wu Ying was a little famous in Anxi County and had good martial arts. Excluding the possibility of a sneak attack, it was almost impossible for an ordinary person to blind his eyes from the front.
Could it be that Wu Ying deliberately got in front of him for him to shoot?
Moreover, even if he was blind, he wouldn't be killed so easily by an ordinary person. But in the end, even though there were too many strange things, he was still killed in the end.
"Although we are close, I can still sue you for slander if you talk nonsense like this!" Li Yi was shocked. He looked at her and said loudly.
