"The patriarch encountered misfortune when he came back from Zhending Mansion. I wrote to him and told him about the horse. He hurried back with his cargo and even rushed to the road at night. As a result, shortly after the ship entered Xiangzhou..."

Li Daqi's lips were trembling violently, and he was almost unable to speak. Li Yanqing held his father's cold hand, stared at him calmly, and encouraged him to continue talking.

"The patriarch's ship must have encountered an ambush at night, and the two men died, but the patriarch did not die immediately. The person who saved him said that the patriarch only said the word "Fu" in the end, and then died. The fatal injury was that the body was pierced by a sword."

Li Yanqing paced back and forth, an indescribable anger burning in his chest. He didn't believe that brothers would do such a careless thing, but he could not explain this coincidence.

Li Wengui attacked the horses, and his father was forced to ask the clan leader for help. The clan leader rushed back to Xiangzhou overnight, but was ambushed halfway.

Also, if Li Wengui really wants his own horse, why did the horse incident end after threatening his father? Li Wengui did not initiate family interrogation and did not come to the door to seize the horse? Why?

Can all this be explained by coincidence?

"Dad, is Li Wengui here?" Li Yanqing turned around and asked.

Li Daqi nodded and whispered: "He arrived half a day earlier than you. At this time, he was in the city, and the patriarch's body was also there. I really didn't want to see him, so I came to the warehouse outside the city."

Speaking of this, Li Daqi suddenly realized and looked at his son in disbelief and said, "Qing'er, you don't think the patriarch was...."

"No! No! No! This is absolutely impossible. Although they are not the same mother, they are also brothers. How could Li Wengui treat his brother... Qing'er, you can't have such an idea!"

Li Yanqing said very calmly: "I will consider it in the best direction, but the patriarch must not be killed so unknown. I will definitely capture the murderer, kill him with my own hands, and use his head to sacrifice to the patriarch's spirit in heaven!"

Although Li Yanqing's tone was calm, his words were filled with strong revenge, as if murderous aura could not be suppressed in his heart and flowed in all directions, making Li Daqi a little chilled. He stared at his son blankly. At this moment, he suddenly realized that his son had become so strange.

...........

The sky gradually became light, and Li Yanqing sat alone on a small hill not far from the city gate. He hugged his knees and stared at the eastern sky, his eyes full of sadness. The sudden blow was so heavy that he could not accept this reality that he missed the appointment with the fifth update for the first time in five years.

He remembered the story he made up for the clan leader five years ago. He even wanted to find an opportunity to explain and confess the truth to the clan leader, but God deprived him of this opportunity. He could no longer repay the kindness of the clan leader to him over the years.

Anger and sadness that had never been seen before was blocked in his heart, making him unable to vent. Li Yanqing stood up and ran to the bottom of the mountain. He ran along the official road without any goal. He just wanted to use his fierce running to relieve the blockage in his chest...

It was finally dawn, and the gate of Anyang County opened, and a convoy of ox cart slowly drove out of the county gate. A black coffin was placed on the ox cart in front. Li Wengui followed the coffin with several tribe members and his friends silently. His eyes were red, and the breeze blew the gray hair on his head. He seemed to have grown up five years old overnight.

At this time, the ox cart suddenly stopped, as if it was blocked by something. Li Wengui looked forward in surprise and saw Li Yanqing standing in the middle of the road, holding a short sword in his hand, staring at him coldly.

Li Wengui was angry and rushed forward and asked, "Li Yanqing, what do you want to do?"

Li Yanqing said coldly: "I only ask you, where is Liu Chenghong now?"

Li Yanqing finally thought of something. The word "Fu" mentioned by the clan leader before his death was most likely to refer to Liu Chenghong's son Liu Fu'er. If this is true, then Li Wengui will not be able to escape.

Li Wengui was shocked, his face immediately became gloomy, and he snorted: "I don't understand what you are talking about? Let me go quickly and don't stop the patriarch's journey back to his hometown."

Li Yanqing was just testing Li Wengui. Seeing that Li Wengui looked abnormal, he became even more suspicious. He stood by the roadside and silently looked at the clan leader's coffin passing by him. Finally, his eyes fell on Li Wengui.

Li Wengui has calmed down from his misconduct just now. He passed by Li Yanqing, strangled the horse, and said coldly to Li Yanqing: "I won't care about you during the mourning period of the patriarch's mourning, but if you dare to act recklessly and make random guesses, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

Li Yanqing also stared at his eyes and said tit-for-tat: "The clan leader died in an unknown way. If you don't cooperate with the government to solve the case, you are eager to transport the clan leader back to your hometown, so that the clan leader's death will be incomplete. What's your intention?"

Before Li Wengui's answer, Li Feng behind him said angrily: "The murderer has already escaped. It is natural for him to send the clan leader back to his hometown. What are you thinking about?"

"Is that true?" Li Yanqing turned to Li Feng with a sharp look, "How do you know that the murderer has escaped? Could it be that you know the murderer?"

Li Feng was speechless for a moment. Li Wengui turned around and glared at Changsun fiercely, ignored Li Yanqing, and shouted: "Continue to move forward!"

The ox cart continued to go south, but Li Yanqing did not follow him, but looked at the ox cart and walked away slowly.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Yanqing rushed to the dock warehouse again, and saw his father packing his luggage and preparing to return to his hometown to attend the funeral.

"Qing'er, go back with me!" Li Daqi did not sleep all night, his eyes were red, and he was really exhausted.

"Dad told me yesterday that the patriarch was escorting the goods back on a boat, where are the ships and goods?"

Li Daqi shook his head, "The ship is gone, and the fur worth thousands of taels of silver has also been robbed. Alas! I don't care about these things now."

Li Yanqing pondered for a while and asked again: "So have you reported to the official?"

"How could such a major murder case not be reported to the official? In fact, it was Captain Lei from the government notified us that I was originally dealing with the government, but after Li Wengui came, he took over the dealings with the government. I don't know what the situation is now?"

Although Li Daqi did not dare to suspect that the death of the clan leader was done by Li Wengui, he also felt many doubts. Moreover, if Li Wengui was able to transport the clan leader's body away, it means that he had already cancelled the case in the government. This really made Li Daqi dissatisfied with Li Wengui, so he became rude in his words and began to call him by his name.

Li Yanqing took his horse and turned over. Li Daqi was anxious and quickly grabbed the reins and advised: "Qing'er, don't pursue it anymore. Come back with me to mourn the clan leader!"

The other party is a vicious murderer, and he is worried about his son's life safety.

Li Yanqing bit his lips tightly and said, "If the truth is not found out, the patriarch will die with his eyes open. Daddy, don't worry, I will never act recklessly."

Li Daqi slowly let go of his hand and sighed, "I can understand, please wait a moment!"

He went back to the house to take out a drawing and handed it to Li Yanqing and said, "Our ship has more characteristics. This is a ship pattern, so be careful!"

Li Yanqing took the pattern and put it in his arms, "I'll go first, Daddy, take care of him all the way!"

He rode his horse with his legs and shouted. The white horse stepped on his four hooves and ran towards the official road. Li Daqi looked at his son's back as he walked away, sighed softly, his heart full of worry.

...........

At noon, in the Wanghu Restaurant in Anyang County, headmaster Lei Song walked up the second floor and was taken to Li Yanqing's table by his friend. Lei Song was about thirty years old, with a big waist, a burly figure, dark skin, and a big beard. He looked quite rude, but his eyes were shrewd.

Li Yanqing clasped his fists and bowed and said with a smile: "Thank you, Captain Lei, for coming as promised!"

Lei Song had to deal with a lot of trivial matters every day. If it weren't for the sake of thirty taels of silver, he wouldn't have paid attention to a teenager.

He waved his hand and said a little impatiently: "Don't say these polite words, the little official is also a relative of Li Wenyou!"

"He is my patriarch, but unfortunately died. I want to know more about his case."

As he said that, Li Yanqing filled Lei Song with a glass of wine. Lei Song drank a glass of wine and slightly stabilized his impatient nature. "The case of your patriarch is a bit tricky. His brother had already completed the case cancellation procedures yesterday. Of course, we will continue to look for the murderer, but if it is really impossible to find out, the family can't make trouble again."
