Chapter 652: Serving as Fishing Bait
The Su family has a large number of mausoleum guardians, and many people sacrifice their lives in the performance of their duties every year. Everyone has long been accustomed to this. Who would let the bowl of rice they originally eat be licking blood from the edge of a knife?
If it was just an ordinary job, the Su family would not offer such a high salary. It is precisely because of the temptation of high salary that many tombkeepers continue to join. Even if they sacrifice, they will receive a large pension.
It's just that few accidents happen to the tomb-keepers in the ancestral hall, because the ancestral hall is the base camp of the tomb-sitters and the safest place. Who would challenge the Su family here?
There are also occasional cases where accidents occur during training, but these are rare because the tomb-keepers who can join the Su family are in good health in all aspects.
As for the suicide of the tomb guardians, this has not happened for many years. The last time was twenty years ago. It was because of Su Qin’s parents. When Mr. Su chose to investigate the tomb guardians, some of the tomb guardians
People with evil intentions will eventually have to die.
Now, suddenly a mausoleum guard committed suicide, which shocked the entire ancestral hall.
Su Qin has been studying for the past two days. He doesn't want to fall behind on his homework and fail the final exam. Those teachers won't care why you asked for leave, let alone such a long vacation.
After listening to Yun Miao Yunruo's narration, Su Qin frowned and said, "Do you know which department's tomb keeper committed suicide?"
Yun Miao whispered: "I heard that they are from the action team. Mr. Han is scolding Master Chu in the meeting hall. Other masters are also present, as well as some elders who stayed in the ancestral hall."
Su Qin said with a smile: "Why do you know so much?"
"Master, you also know that women are more gossipy. We heard what other sisters said when we went out for morning exercise in the morning." Yun Ruo said with a smile.
Su Qin shook his head and sighed softly: "You two ladies, you better stop gossiping in the future, so as not to get caught and punished."
Yun Miao Yunruo stuck out her tongue and said, "I understand, young master."
Su Qin didn't intend to rush there. Although he was the eldest young master of the Su family, the tombkeepers of the Su family had their own mechanism. They knew how to deal with such a thing.
It was just that someone suddenly committed suicide during this period, which made Su Qin feel that something was wrong. After all, he had only been in the ancestral hall for a few days, and someone had lurked around him before.
Su Qin had breakfast with peace of mind. After breakfast, he was ready to go to the training ground. From today on, he would take enough time to train with the two masters of Xiyue and Chu Yuanshan. There must be no problem with Xiyue. Besides, he will be transferred out in a while.
As for Chu Yuanshan, as long as he is shameless, Chu Yuanshan will have to agree even if he is embarrassed.
Who would have thought that after Su Qin finished breakfast, Mr. Han had already come over, sat on the stone bench in the yard, stared at Su Qin and said, "It's so lively outside, and you like to join in the fun so much, why didn't you go over and take a look?"
Su Qin deliberately pretended to be confused and said: "What's so exciting? Why don't I know? Grandpa Han, please tell me."
Yun Miao Yunruo covered her mouth and smiled sweetly. I don't know who the young master learned this skill of pretending to be confused. He dared to pretend to be confused in front of Mr. Han. That is to say, if he had this ability, who else would dare?
Mr. Han did not expose Su Qin, and said solemnly: "Last night, a tombkeeper at the ancestral hall committed suicide. He stole the sleeping pills from the pharmacy and was already dead when he was found."
"Is there such a thing?" Su Qin frowned.
Mr. Han said thoughtfully: "Those who deserve to die should die early and be reborn early, so they can't blame others."
Su Qin's face changed slightly, and when he was about to ask something, Mr. Han said to Yun Miao Yunruo: "Master Shangshu has prepared some Chinese medicine for the young master. I can give the young master a medicated bath at night. You go over and get the medicine."
Master Shangshu is a highly respected doctor in the ancestral hall and the head of the ancestral hall hospital. He graduated from the highest-level federal medical university and later studied abroad. In the past twenty years, he has served in the best hospital in Beijing.
I was in the position of director, but one day I suddenly became more interested in Chinese medicine.
So he was personally recruited to the Su family by Mr. Han. He has been obsessed with the research of traditional Chinese medicine over the years. Mr. Han provided him with many nearly extinct medical books and got him any medicinal materials he wanted, so he stayed in the ancestral hall.
in.
There are six students under him, all of whom are mausoleum keepers who study medicine and are quite talented. They are responsible for the medical treatment of the entire ancestral hall.
After hearing this, Yunmiao Yunruo knew that Mr. Han was trying to avoid suspicion for them, so she obediently left the yard.
At this time, Mr. Han said: "The tombkeeper who committed suicide was the tombkeeper who lurked in this small courtyard that night. As for his purpose, we don't know yet, but he definitely had evil intentions. Otherwise, how could we find out when we were about to find out?
Sudden suicide, of course, is somewhat strange, but I don’t know whether it was homicide or not.”
Su Qin was somewhat shocked after hearing this. He did not expect such a result. It turned out that the tombkeeper who committed suicide was the tombkeeper that night.
Mr. Han continued: "I cannot tolerate such a situation among the tomb-keepers. Since they have a purpose, I will let Zhou Du continue to investigate, and we will eventually find out who is behind the scenes.
Who knows, maybe it won’t be long before they reveal their flaws.”
Su Qin asked in a deep voice: "Grandpa Han, do you need me to do anything?"
"No, you can do whatever you need to do, but of course you have to be careful to avoid accidents," Mr. Han reminded.
Su Qin nodded. As long as he stayed here, those people might take action again.
It seems that Mr. Han is really angry this time, because someone chose to take action in the ancestral hall, which is tantamount to challenging Mr. Han's bottom line.
If something really happened to him in the ancestral hall, then Mr. Han will definitely bear the main responsibility. Then he will kill two birds with one stone.
To defeat Mr. Han was to disperse the tomb-keepers, so he must be said to be very smart.
Mr. Han did not let Su Qin leave the ancestral hall, which was tantamount to using Su Qin as bait, and Su Qin was also happy to be this bait.
After leaving Mr. Han's place, Su Qin continued to the training ground. When he arrived at the training ground, he saw Xiyue training the tomb guards as usual. Su Qin watched for a while, waiting for Xiyue to finish his work.
It didn't take long for Huiyue to finish his work. He walked over and said, "Master, you are here."
Su Qin didn't ask about the suicide of the tomb guard, but said politely: "Aren't you asking Master Xiyue to learn some skills? I wonder if Master Xiyue has time?"
Huiyue didn't say anything about it, and said with a chuckle: "As long as the young master is willing, you can come at any time."
Su Qin did not hesitate and said: "Thank you, Master Xiyue, let's get started directly."
Huiyue took the initiative to invite: "Master, let's go to the training room inside."
Su Qin nodded and followed Xiyue to the small training room inside. On the way there, Su Qin asked casually: "Master Xiyue, Master Chu hasn't been here recently?"
"Lao Chu wants to save face. As long as I'm here these days, he basically won't come over." Xiyue shook his head helplessly.
Su Qin said half-jokingly: "Master Xiyue, don't think too much, Master Chu is just like that."
Xiyue didn't say much. After all, he was the winner and had nothing to be ashamed of.
After entering the training room, Huiyue said directly: "I wonder what kind of martial arts the young master wants to learn? What I am best at is fighting and grappling."
Su Qin said with a smile: "Master Xiyue, I know some self-defense skills. Please teach me some real skills. I can learn as much as I can."
Xiyue nodded silently and said: "Since the young master said so, then I will show my shame."
So Xiyue began to practice next, explaining each move and style to Su Qin in detail. Su Qin also expressed his own opinions, how to deal with it, etc.
Xiyue really didn't take Su Qin to heart at first, thinking he was just teaching some self-defense skills.
But when Su Qin said those words, he knew that Su Qin was no ordinary character. It was impossible to fool Su Qin, so he had to gradually show his true skills.
But Su Qin could still keep up with his thoughts and rhythm, which made Xiyue even more frightened and couldn't help but have a question in his heart.
