"His father, why did you die so miserably... Leave us orphans and widows behind us, how can we survive..."

A woman's cry resounded throughout the alley, adding a gloomy atmosphere to the alley.

This made Li Yuguo's steps much heavier. He walked over step by step. There was an old couple on the side of the road. On the left was a poor old man, dressed in rags and his shoes were repaired. The old man's face was full of vicissitudes and was blurred.

The old woman on the right scattered her head with silver hair on her head, her black and yellow face was covered with wrinkles. She was wearing a tattered gray apron, and the few strands of silver hair that fell swayed with the north wind. She was wearing shabby slippers on her feet, as if she was telling her bitterness in the cold wind.

Both of them had very turbid eyes, and Li Yuguo's arrival did not attract their attention.

The road suddenly became tide, and I don’t know if it was urine or water, which gave the air a foul smell.

Li Hugo was very slow and looked at the surrounding houses. The houses here were very broken, and some houses were furnished, and they used hay to force the holes on the walls.

Several skinny wild dogs were crouching in the corner, seemingly no longer able to bark. There were also a few children with their chests on their backs playing next to them, playing a game of throwing stones.

The desolation on the roadside made Li Hugo go faster and faster. This place is too disabled and is not proportional to the prosperity of other parts of the capital.

Perhaps it is because the place itself is very remote. Even Li Yuguo would not have come here if it weren't for Niu Dingtian.

At the entrance of the mourning hall, Li Yuguo hesitated for several minutes, because the death of the updater here was probably related to him.

After all, this murder case cannot be so coincidental. In addition, Wang Sili is in trouble, and the prince is here again. Could it be that the prince knew in advance that there would be a murder case here?

This must be related to the prince. If it is related to the prince, it means that the prince has a purpose. The prince’s purpose is nothing more than the third prince. The third prince is working with him. If this calculation is made, it can be considered nepotism.

Li Hugo came to the mourning hall. At this time, the widow of the husband saw him and she said, "This lord is..."

"I am from the court." Li Hugo said.

As soon as these words came out, the widow's face became worse. She said, "People from the court? We, we don't know..."

"I haven't asked yet, why did you say you don't know? In fact, you must know something, but you just refuse to say it, Madam... You can tell me what you know openly. I just want to investigate the case now. Are you willing to die so unknown?" Li Hugo said.

The widow lowered her head and said, "We really don't know."

Li Huguo took out the silver and put it in the hand of the child next to his widow. He invited three incense sticks and worshiped the spirit platform. Since the woman refused to say it, he naturally didn't want to be too tough. But what he didn't expect was that when Li Huguo finished the worship and was about to leave, the five or six-year-old child followed out happily.

Because he was a little brat, no one paid attention, but Li Hugo found that he followed him and seemed to have something to say.

At a young age, he looked very sad and pitiful. In the future, he was destined to depend on his mother. Maybe he would have a stepfather, but to a certain extent, he was very repulsive of not his own children, so his future was not very open.

"You don't have to send it to your mother, hurry up and go to your mother's side." Li Hugo said.

"Sir, my mother invites you to the backyard..." the child said, and then ran back in panic.

Li Huguo was surprised, but watched the child leave. At night, he was lit in the backyard of the family, and there was a coffin lying inside. The coffin had not been buried yet, because the body had to be parked for three days before it was buried. This is the local custom.

Li Huguo came to the yard, and the woman stood up and said, "Sir... I offended many times during the day, I hope I will forgive you."

"If you have any questions, please tell me immediately. I am from Tongming Temple in the imperial court. I am the current emperor of Zhili. I will not favor anyone. As long as you have grievances, just tell me directly." Li Hugo said, and the name of Tongming Temple in Xindao is quite useful.

The woman knelt on the ground, hugged her child and said, "Sir, you want to make the decision for us, mother and son... Our family of three is helpless here, and life is neither good nor bad, and we can barely have a meal, but..."

"Maybe your husband is not..." Li Hugo raised his voice, because according to previous news, the updater died of sudden illness while working.

But now it seems that this matter has more in-depth news.

"It's the local snake in our street, Zhao Laowu, who is known as Kutou Tuo. Kutou Tuo is very powerful... He killed my husband and even gave us money, my husband died of illness. We are harmonious with each other and let him die like this. I'm so unwilling to accept it..." said the woman.

Li Hugo thought for a while and said, "Can you do laundry?"

"Sir, what do you mean?"

"If there is no way to live here, if you go to Li Mansion in the north of the city, you will say that you are recruited and hired. At that time, we will give you a considerable salary, so that you can live at least worry-free. As for the hardships, you don't have to worry about it. I will make him pay the price he deserves." Li Hugo said.

The woman burst into tears and thanked her repeatedly.

Li Hugo has already arrived at a deeper place in this street. This street is called "Ku Street", which is in line with the style here, because the lives of the people here are indeed very miserable.

At the end of the bitter street, there is a City God Temple, but the City God Temple has been abandoned and seems to have lived in it, becoming a house.

Around the Chenghuang Temple are all black gambling workshops and black kilns. This is a three-no area, full of diseases, poverty, blood and pain. A few women in unclothed clothes were driven out of the Chenghuang Temple. A rude voice came from inside, "Get out of here, get out of the house, don't even serve, dance, or sing. My mother was eager to slap, and she was indeed incomparable to the ladies in Huan Street."

The fire bull with a rough voice was like the roar of a wild beast, and Li Hugo also heard the sound and walked straight over.

"Who? Do you know where this is?" There were two men in ragged clothes and beggars at the entrance of the City God Temple, who stopped Li Huguo and prevented him from entering.
