The book is followed last time.

"Brother Meng De, look at this group of people, which one of them is a hard bone?"

After saying this, Li Zhi clapped his palms with a folding fan and said confidently: "But such a group of cartilage didn't say a word after being severely punished, which proves that they were afraid of something!

But in the study just now, besides Brother Meng De, there were only those servants left, so they must be afraid of those servants."

As he said that, he squatted down, looked around with a smile for a week, and said to the prisoners: "But these people are all great scholars, why are they afraid of slaves?

Did they have any more important handle than their lives that fell into the hands of their slaves?”

Speaking of this, he raised a person's head with a folding fan and asked with a smile: "For example... family, am I right? This old gentleman."

"..." After hearing Li Zhi's words, the old man smiled bitterly with a decadent face: "The world says that the Marquis of Luoyang is a wise man. I didn't think it was a rumor. Today I realized that one mountain is even higher than another!

Now that the matter is coming, the Marquis of Luoyang doesn’t need to ask more questions, I admit it!”

Speaking of this, he sighed a long sigh and said, "That's right, as the Marquis of Luoyang guessed, all my family members were kidnapped by those thieves. Now I don't know how to live or die, so I have to do things for them."

"They..." After hearing this, Li Zhi asked in a very interesting way: "Have you seen those who instructed the scenes?"

"I have seen it, but I have never seen it." The old man shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Although I have met them, I have always put on masks when I met me, and I deliberately kept my throat talking to me.

Moreover, they were all wearing cloaks, covering their bodies.

Therefore, I can’t tell whether they are men, women, old or young.”

"Ha! A little guy!" Li Zhi smiled disdainfully, turned his eyes to the others and asked, "Are you all like this?"

"Yes, we are all the same."

"Well," Li Zhi nodded with satisfaction, and asked the old man again: "This old gentleman, I would like to ask you, how did your family disappear at that time? At what time did it disappear?"

After hearing Li Zhi's words, the old man gritted his teeth and said, "It was late at night. When I was sleeping, someone suddenly broke in and raised a handful of dust at me.

Afterwards, I didn't know the situation. After waking up, I found that all the people in the family were taken away!

Then, I found a letter on my desk with an address in it, asking me to go there to wait for the order, otherwise my family would die!"

After hearing this, Li Zhi's eyes lit up and he asked with a smile: "I don't know where the sir lives? Is it outside the city or inside, east or west of the city?"

The south and north of the city are the residences of civilians and vendors. Li Zhi did not think that such great scholars would "demolish their identities" and live with civilians, so he didn't ask.

"..." The old man was silent for a while after hearing this, he looked at Cao Cao with guilty expression and said with a wry smile: "After the seeds of Mengde Gong, after we, the useless literati, came to Jizhou, he moved us to the vicinity of Cao's mansion. A hundred meters east of Cao's mansion is my mansion.

”

"How many people are there in the old man's family?"

After hearing this, the old man estimated it and said, "In addition, there are about a hundred servants in total."

"..." After hearing the old man's words, Li Zhi became silent and his face became very ugly.

After a while, he looked at the old man with pity, sighed, and said, "The old man is mourning and following the changes."

"..." The old man was confused when he heard Li Zhi's words.

Although his family was plundered by the thieves, no one was killed. What kind of mourning do you think?

However, Li Zhi had no intention of explaining to him. He stood up and said to Cao Cao: "Brother Meng De, it has been confirmed that the enemy was not sent by other princes, but a small force in the territory of Brother Meng De's territory.

This whole thing is likely to be done by the scum in the Meng De family, plus a small force against Meng De, who united."

"..." Cao Cao was covered in confusion after hearing Li Zhi's words.

He also understood the words Li Zhi asked just now, but he could not draw a conclusion from those words.

So, he asked with confusion: "How did Brother Xingzhi come to this conclusion?"

"It's very simple" Li Zhi stretched out a finger and said, "First, if you want to regain someone for your own use, you will not only be a threat, but also a temptation!

But when those people subdued these people, they did not induce them, but were just coercion!

This proves that they were definitely not sent by other princes!

Otherwise, why would they have to sneak in and hide their heads and tails?

He directly made his identity clear and told these people that as long as they killed Brother Meng De, they could make great contributions.

At that time, if their lord wins the world, then these people can also get the status of a minister of the dragon.

In this way, on the one hand, it would be much better than just coercing them by using their status as a dragon minister, and on the other hand, it would be better than just coercion?"

"It makes sense." After thinking for a while, Cao Cao nodded slowly, and then asked, "What about the second one?"

After hearing this, Li Zhi sighed, stretched out his second finger and said, "Second, if it was really the other princes who took action, then after bribing the slaves beside Brother Meng De, they could spend a lot of money to bribe other guards patrolling the city, and there was no need to kill anyone to silence them."

"Kill someone to silence?" Cao Cao became even more confused after hearing Li Zhi's words and asked, "Who did they kill? Brother Wei hasn't heard of any murders recently."

"Oh..." Li Zhi sighed again after hearing this, then turned his head and looked at the old man with pity.

The old man was a little furious when Li Zhi saw it. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, and he thought of a possibility!

Then, he struggled to Li Zhi's legs with a pale face, grabbed his hem, and asked, "Master Luoyang...Master Luoyang...Don't scare me, things are definitely not what I thought, right?!

Tell me! It’s not what I think!! Tell me!!!”

"..." Li Zhi was silent for a while after hearing this, and smiled helplessly: "Old sir, since you already have guesses in your heart, why don't you believe it?

?

You have to know that Yecheng is the capital of the entire Jizhou, and the defense here is very strict!

On weekdays, tens of thousands of troops patrol the city, and Brother Meng De’s mansion is a top priority!

Even on weekdays, there are more than 10,000 troops patrolling day and night.

In the evening, in addition to the 10,000 troops, thousands of people set up secret whistles, and hundreds of spies from the intelligence department controlled by Fengxiao were lurking there.

This kind of defense can be said to be free from leaks!

Except for the confidants of Brother Meng De and the tribe of Brother Meng De, no one can pass through the city at night.

Not to mention humans, even if a mouse suddenly jumps out, it will be chopped into meat paste!”

Speaking of this, he sighed a long sigh, looked at the old man with pity on his face and said, "Do you think someone can quietly plunder more than a hundred people from your mansion under such a steel defense?

Besides, haven’t you ever thought that if they really had the ability to plunder more than a hundred people, then why wouldn’t they just pick the main ones?

You know, after the mansion you are waiting for becomes an empty mansion, it is easy to attract the attention of others!

For example, your neighbors, your friends.

Once they doubt it, there will inevitably be troubles!

In this way, wouldn’t it be better to take your direct relatives and threaten you and leave those slaves to cover up their eyes and ears?”

After hearing Li Zhi's words, the old man retorted palely: "Maybe...Maybe the thieves bribed the defense army in the city?"

After saying that, his face became even more ugly because he knew that he was talking nonsense!

There are about tens of thousands of defense troops in the city, and the guarding places of these defense troops are constantly changing.

Unless those thieves bribed all the troops under Cao Cao, it would be impossible to bring more than 100 people out quietly!

After thinking about all this, the old man slammed his butt and slumped on the ground, his face full of decadence.

Now that things have come, even if he doesn't want to, he has to admit that his family may have been killed!

And the place where he was killed was in his home!!!

At this time, his family was probably buried in his home and somewhere!

After thinking of this, the old man struggled to sit up, grabbed Li Zhi's leg, and begged with pain: "Marty of Luoyang, please be kind and take me to my mansion to investigate it!"

Speaking of this, he turned his eyes to Cao Cao who had been silent and begged: "Meng Degong, I know that I and others are sorry for you, and I and others do not seek to survive, but I only want to find out the matter and let me die in peace!"

At this time, the other teachers involved in the matter could not sit still. They suddenly broke free from the soldiers escorting them, and crawled to the old man, asking with a pale face: "Mr. Yu, what do you mean? Do we all wait for our family members... all..."

That man really couldn't say the word "death".
