Datang: Invincible in the world, the widow of King Zhao of the West

The girl nodded, took out a small purse from the cloth bag on her body, and poured out the purse, a crystal clear bead appeared in the girl's hand.

The girl took the bead, slammed it, and knelt down.

"This is?"

Li Xun looked at the girl in surprise, and asked, "Tell me, is there something you need to do to find me?"

Holding the beads in both hands, the girl said, "My lord, this bead is the best and most beautiful one I have ever picked. Today, the girl wants to give this lovely bead to my lord."

Li Xun looked at the beads in the girl's hands, but no one caught them. He was not really interested in these things.

"You came to this king not just to offer treasures, did you?"

The girl kowtowed three times in a row, and said, "I invite the prince to be the master for the girls!"

"The folk girls and the people in the village have lived by fishing for pearls for generations. The originally peaceful life was broken just a month ago."

"My brother and I came here to sell some beads. I heard that the price of the beads here is fair. However, when we sold the beads and went back, all the people in our village were killed!"

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 Xiaoyao to go to 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 Xiaoyao's words.

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