Chapter 1624 Cause of Death
On the other hand, Li Tiancheng, the head of the Li family, lowered his head and showed an expression as expected.
Tuoba Yunli has been building his own intelligence system since he has been the city lord for so long. Now it seems that Tuoba Yunli’s intelligence system is pretty good. At least he knows the identities of these two people. Otherwise, with Tuoba Yunli's character, he would not talk nonsense here and he would be killed directly.
"Yunli, no, Lord City Lord, it is a fact that this man killed my son. Many people have seen it. You can't ignore it," Tuoba said urgently on the water.
"Yes, Lord City Lord, you have to make the decision for us," the woman also shouted.
"Did I say I don't care?" Tuoba Yunli frowned slightly.
“Yes, yes,” Tuoba Shangshui hesitated.
Tuoba Yunli waved his hand, "I didn't say I don't care about this matter, it's just that the murderers were not these two, there was someone else who killed Tuoba Yu."
"Impossible, everyone I've all seen it." Tuoba Shangshui's eyes widened.
“Eyes can sometimes deceive you,” Tuoba Yunli said slowly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Tuoba Yu's body was carried in front of everyone by the black-armored guards.
“My son, my son,” the woman shouted and rushed forward, crying.
"Lord City Lord, what do you mean?" Tuoba Shangshui's face was ashen.
The body of his son Tuoba Yu was originally placed in Tuoba's house, but now it was moved here, and his clothes were stripped off and covered with only a layer of white cloth. This made him How can I bear it.
"Look carefully at the position of Tuoba Yu's chest." Tuoba Yunli had no intention of explaining, but asked the black-armored guard to step forward and lift the white cloth.
The white cloth was lifted, and everyone looked over and saw a blue dot the size of a soybean on Tuoba Yu's chest.
"What are you doing? Why are you doing this to my son? Get out of my way." When the woman saw that the last piece of cloth on her son's body was lifted, she immediately started acting violently.
"Humph, you are ashamed. Some time ago, your son Tuoba Yu took possession of two young girls by force. He also stripped each other of their clothes and dragged them to the street with chains for fun. Why didn't you dance at that time? Come out to stop it?" Bai Shanyu said coldly.
As a big family in White Bone City, Bai Shanyu has always felt that the Tuoba family is not worthy of being compared with them. If the city lord hadn't come from the Tuoba family, he would have uprooted the Tuoba family long ago.
Now it seems that the city lord has no feelings for the Tuoba family. Is it his character not to add insult to injury?
Moreover, he originally planned to find a scapegoat to help Liu Jun and the others escape, but now it seems that the scapegoat is no longer needed. He has to perform in other aspects to make Liu Jun and the others remember him more.
"Bai Shanyu, are your Bai family going to start a war?" Tuoba Shangshui clenched his fists, glared at Bai Shanyu, and said every word.
Looking at Tuoba Shangshui who was about to get angry, Bai Shanyu showed no intention of giving in, "What's wrong with starting a war? Do you have the strength?"
This was said without courtesy. There was no hint of looking down upon Tuoba Shengshui in his words.
Tuoba Shangshui is also very aware of the gap between himself and the Bai family. He knows that he can never be the opponent of the Bai family, but he can't swallow this breath.
"Brother Bai is right. Your Tuoba Yu has done all sorts of evil and made the City of Bones a mess. If someone cleans it up, it is only to eliminate harm for the people." Li Tiancheng from the Li family on the side also joined in.
"Do I want to watch you argue for a while longer?" City Lord Tuoba Yunli said.
The three people who had just argued and almost started a fight immediately bowed and said they did not dare.
Tuoba Yunli was able to sit on the position of city lord, and it was definitely based on his strength, so neither the Bai family nor the Li family were willing to provoke him.
"Tuoba Shangshui, do you still want to know the truth? Pull that one away from you." Tuoba Yunli looked at the woman who was torn with the black-armored guard, his face darkened.
Seeing that the Lord City Lord looked unhappy, although he felt sorry for his son, Tuoba Shangshui used his remaining sense to restrain his emotions and stepped forward to pull his wife aside.
The Tuoba family still has a big gap between the Bai family and the Li family. If the city lord is really annoyed again and stops taking care of the Tuoba family, they will really be doomed.
At this time, an old man with white hair and a scent of medicine came to the crowd. He bowed slightly to the superior Tuoba Yunli and said, "I have met the Lord of the City." Tuoba Yun Li nodded, "Doctor Xu, you don't have to be polite. You already know the purpose of inviting you here today. Let's just do it."
This old man's surname is Xu, and the gem on his forehead is black. He is a slave under the command of the God of Death. He usually lives in seclusion in the Bone City. Although he cannot compare with Tuoba Yunli in terms of strength, there is no one who is more powerful than him in terms of medical skills in the entire White Bone City.
The reason why Dr. Xu was invited here was to convince everyone.
Doctor Xu didn't do any ink, and went directly to Tuoba Yu to check, focusing on Tuoba Yu's chest. After a while, he stood up.
"Lord City Lord, the old man has finished the examination. The cause of death of this person is poisoning. He was poisoned by Qikui Powder. Those who are poisoned by this poison will be paralyzed and die as if they have no bones. Twelve hours later, the body will look like this again. As hard as steel," Doctor Xu said slowly.
Tuoba Shangshui did not believe in evil, so he stepped forward and touched his son's body. Before he came here, he had also seen his son's body. It was true that the body was paralyzed and looked like it was made of water, but now he can feel it , like a stone. It was not that he had never heard of Qikui Powder. This was indeed the characteristic of Qikui Powder. Moreover, Divine Doctor Xu was famous for following the rules and it was absolutely impossible for him to tell lies, so he believed this in his heart.
It’s just that the trouble has reached this level, and if he admits that the murderer is someone else, isn’t that a slap in the face? And he felt that if Liu Jun hadn't fought with his son, his son wouldn't have been poisoned so easily.
"Does Doctor Xu know the source of this poison?" Tuoba Yunli asked.
“I don’t know, but this Qikui Powder has a special characteristic, that is, it must be used within an hour after being prepared, otherwise it will condense into lumps and lose its efficacy. And this Qikui Powder can be prepared in Baigu City There are only a few apothecary shops, the city lord can start from here," Doctor Xu replied.
Tuoba Yunli narrowed his eyes, "I understand, I'm sorry to trouble Doctor Xu."
"No trouble, I'll take my leave now." Doctor Xu has no interest in the disputes between several big families. Naturally, He didn't want to stay here, so he said goodbye and left the City Lord's Mansion.
"Lord City Lord, these two are distinguished guests of my Bai family. Since the suspicion has been cleared, can you allow me to take these two distinguished guests back to the Bai family?" Bai Shanyu stood up and said.
"No, what if they poisoned my son?" the woman shouted immediately.
Bai Shanyu rolled his eyes, "Your son is not worthy of being slapped by these two distinguished guests. It is not easy to kill him, so why bother poisoning him?"
At this time, Li Tiancheng of the Li family "I think the suspicion cannot be completely eliminated, but since they are distinguished guests of the Bai family, they cannot be locked up in prison. In this way, my Li family is willing to free up a few rooms for these two to stay temporarily." God, let the two of you leave after the truth of the matter is found out. What do you think of this idea?"
"Li Tiancheng! What's wrong with you!" Bai Shanyu wanted to curse.
This idea is too stupid, worse than a dog. If the city lord really agrees to it, the Li family will definitely entertain them with delicious food and drink, and steal the thighs of the Bai family. Then he will really be A mute who eats Coptis chinensis cannot express his suffering.
"No, it's better to let these two stay in my city lord's mansion first," Tuoba Yunli said.
"This little fox" Bai Shanyu and Li Tiancheng looked at each other and cursed in their hearts, this Tuoba Yunli is also trying to steal his thigh.
Liu Jun did not say a word, but listened with interest. Anyway, for him, no matter how many people win over him and Xiao Hei, they only have benefits and no harm.
At this moment, a black-armored guard hurriedly ran in and whispered a few words next to Tuoba Yunli. Tuoba Yunli's face instantly became a little ugly, and he looked up at Tuoba Shangshui. At one glance, there was a flash of murderous intent deep in his eyes. Although he concealed it well, Liu Jun still saw it.
Although the voice of the black-armored guard was very low, Liu Jun could still hear it clearly with his hearing.
The old lady is here, she's already at the door, and no one dares to stop her.
Suddenly, a burst of noise came from far away. Liu Jun turned around and saw that the leader was an old lady with gray hair and a childlike face, leaning on a cane with a dragon head. The old lady was old, but her steps were not slow. , the sound of crutches hitting the ground became one, and the maid beside him almost couldn't keep up.
"The old lady of the Tuoba family, the city lord's grandmother" Bai Shanyu saw that Liu Jun was a little confused and explained in a low voice beside him.
A black-armored guard came forward and seemed to want to stop the old lady.
Just hearing a "pop" sound, the old lady gave the black-armored guard a big ear-scratcher without hesitation, and then whipped the black-armored guard around in a circle.
Liu Jun's pupils shrank. Oops, he was wrong. He originally thought she was an old lady, but he didn't expect her strength to be so strong. Then why would she use crutches to hit someone?
