Chapter 196: A Small Sea Pearl Digger!
Northern Border City.

In Zhao Wangfu.

The girl cried and said, "My lord, everyone in our village has been killed."

"After my brother and I went back, there was no one alive."

Li Xun frowned slightly when he heard this, and asked, "Didn't you report to the local officials?"

The girl wiped away her tears and said, "My lord, we reported to the government, but the next day, before the people from the government had time to go to our village to investigate, my brother and I met some bandits. My brother, for me, They were also killed by those bandits."

"I had no choice but to return to Beijiang City."

"Where is your village?" Li Xun asked.

The girl said: "The existence of folk girls is called Xiaohai Village. The people in our village have been fishing for pearls for a living, but most of the pearls they pick are not popular with others. Therefore, the people in our village, Not rich."

"Xiaohai Village is on the border of Shandong."

Pearl divers.

Generations of pearl divers?

Li Xun didn't know much about this "profession", but he had heard a little bit that there was a special department for pearl picking within the imperial court, and they were in charge of picking pearls for the imperial court.

However, there are not only imperial court departments but also many folks who are engaged in pearl fishing.

"Shandong?"

Li Xun asked: "So, now you don't know whether the government has found out why the people in your village died?"

The girl nodded quickly and said, "Yes, my lord, I fled all the way here after my brother was killed to protect me."

"I dare not go back."

Li Xun looked at the girl. The girl's appearance was a bit delicate, which was related to her age. However, her hands were somewhat different from ordinary people's hands.

Some whitish, whitish from the inside of the skin.

This is a phenomenon that only occurs after soaking in water for a long time. Of course, other reasons cannot be ruled out, but now, this girl is indeed in line with the "sequelae" of a pearl diver.

"What's your name?" Li Xun asked.

The girl immediately said: "Go back to the lord, the girl's name is Zhou Zhuzhu."

Zhou Zhuzhu.

"Zhou Zhuzhu, since you have a case, but now I'm just listening to you alone. How about you staying in Beijiang City for now, and I'll get back to you after I understand the situation?" Li Xun said.

It's impossible for him to go to the border of Shandong just because of one person's words, right?

Besides, he doesn't know if it's true or not.

Zhou Zhuzhu nodded sharply and said, "Good lord."

After the steward sent Zhou Zhuzhu away, he came back to Li Xun's side and said, "My lord, do you want to intervene in this matter?"

Li Xun said with a smile: "I don't know what's going on now, how can I help?"

"You can't make a trip just because of one person's words?"

"You ask Jun Mochou to go to that Xiaohai village to see what's going on, to see if the local government has handled this case."

"Okay, my lord!"

The boundary of Shandong, Xiaohai Village.

The government that Xiaohai Village belongs to.

"Master Jun, are you talking about the Xiaohai Village extermination case?" Wednesday He asked after hearing Jun Mochou's words.

Jun Mochou nodded, and said: "Passing by you, I heard that all the people in a village were wiped out, but I didn't hear the follow-up. I hope Lord Zhou will forgive me for my duty."

Wednesday and suddenly said with a smile: "Understood, understood!"

"Your Excellency, you don't know that the people in Xiaohai Village have been fishing for pearls for generations. According to my investigation, the villagers in Xiaohai Village were exterminated because of pearls."

"The one who did it was the bandit from Longshe Mountain."

Jun Mochou said, "Oh?"

"Master Zhou, since you have investigated clearly, don't you know the murderer?"

Speaking of this, Wednesday and Haha laughed and said: "My lord, the murderer was arrested yesterday, and those bandits, because of their resistance, were killed on the spot, and the ones under them were also killed." escaped, and the officer is also searching."

Jun Mochou nodded: "Master Zhou, how are you going to judge?"

"Of course it's death!"

Wednesday He said: "Dare to do such a rebellious thing, apart from letting them go to the execution platform, I really can't think of other places."

Jun Mochou smiled: "Master Zhou is really passionate!"

"I am ashamed. In this position, I have to plead for the people and be responsible for the people, but there has been such a cruel case of extermination. If I don't do anything, then I am ashamed of my trust in the court and ashamed of my actions. His majesty's gift, is it ashamed of the expectations of the people?"

"This is what I should do."

Jun Mochou nodded, stood up, and said: "Since the case has been solved, I wonder if I can take a look at that bandit?"

"I also want to see what a person who can commit such a cruel case looks like."

Next to Jun Mochou on Wednesday, he said with a smile: "Master Jun, please, this person is now in prison."

The official prison.

At this time, Jun Mochou was looking at the fierce man in front of him.

Just by looking at his appearance, one can tell that this guy is a person who does all kinds of evil.

"It was you who killed the villagers of Xiaohai Village?" Jun Mochou asked.

But who knew, the big man rushed in front of Jun Mochou, through the prison door, he roared: "If you want to commit a crime, why is there no excuse?"

"Since you think I did it, then I did it, isn't it just death?"

Seeing this on Wednesday, he yelled loudly: "You bastard, you are so devoid of conscience, you are going to die sooner or later!"

Turning around, she said to Jun Mochou: "My lord, this man has a vicious face, he looks like a villain. It's not surprising that he did such a thing that angers people."

"I will try my best to track down those mountain bandits. They must not be allowed to go free. This is flouting my laws of the Tang Dynasty!"

Northern Border City.

"My lord, this is probably the case."

"The bandits on Dragon Snake Mountain should have killed their families for the sake of pearls," Jun Mochou said.

But who knows.

Just as Jun Mochou finished speaking, Zhou Zhuzhu who was at the side said, "My lord, there are no bandits on Dragon Snake Mountain at all!"

Jun Mochou: "???"

Li Xun watched with a smile on his face, Jun Mo frowned and asked, "Are you sure?"

"But the answer that Wednesday He gave me was the work of the bandits on Longsnake Mountain, and I also saw the bandit boss who was captured."

"But, my lord, there are really no bandits on Dragon Snake Mountain!" Zhou Zhuzhu was a little anxious.

Li Xun stretched out his hand to signal for silence.

Looking at Jun Mochou, she said, "Tell me."

Jun Mochou smiled, and said: "I went down to Longsnake Mountain. It is true that as this girl said, there is no sign of anyone living on Longsnake Mountain, let alone bandits. Moreover, for the sake of Just in case, I sent people to visit the entire Dragon Snake Mountain."

"So, that Wednesday and that are lying."
