Chapter 297: Something is not quite right! There is a serious situation!
After all, it is impossible for anyone to guard the corpses of these thieves twelve hours a day.
So... Normally speaking, what the fake Qin Ziyi got should be Tian Quan's body, and he had no doubt about it.
But why is the body now belonging to someone else?
Moreover, he was one who had just died?
Shen Lian's eyes rolled, he looked at the fake Qin Ziyi who was pale and frightened, and said: "Don't rush to praise me, don't you want to know... why, what you got should be Tianquan. Is the corpse now someone else’s?”
Fake Qin Ziyi was startled.
He looked at Shen Lian, as if he wanted to read Shen Lian's thoughts from Shen Lian's expression.
But Shen Lian could see through the things that made him feel powerless at a glance, but he couldn't judge Shen Lian's thoughts at all.
He took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"I always thought that the corpses I got were all Tianji's. I don't know why the body was changed."
Shen Lian asked: "When did you get Tianquan's body here?"
Fake Qin Ziyi was disheartened, knowing that he had completely lost, and he also wanted to know why his arrangement, in addition to Qin Ziyi, would cause problems with the corpse.
So he didn't hide it, he said: "It was dug out of Tianquan's tomb seven days ago."
"Have you seen his body since it was dug up?" Shen Lian asked again.
Fake Qin Ziyi nodded, "Of course, I also want to make sure I've dug the right person."
"The results of it?"
Fake Qin Ziyi thought for a moment, then shook her head, "I don't know. I thought it was Tianquan at the time, but now...I'm not sure anymore."
Shen Lian thought for a moment, then pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "Do you know this person?"
Fake Qin Ziyi thought for a while: "It's a bit like a servant from the Huan Mansion. I seem to have met him, but I can't remember him clearly. After all, he is just a servant, and he is not qualified for me to remember."
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and said: "This corpse died about a day ago. In other words, there was a corpse in the coffin at the beginning, but I don't know if it belongs to Tianquan."
"Later, the corpse in the coffin disappeared, and the person who was suspected to be a servant of the Huan Mansion was disguised and replaced by Tianquan's corpse..."
"Then, where is the original body?"
Shen Lian said to himself: "Also, who...is the replacement?"
This matter is somewhat interesting!
Shen Lian's eyes sparkled, and there was a smile at the corner of his mouth. It was as if he had encountered an interesting prey, which aroused the hunter's rare interest.
Although I don’t know how Tianquan’s body disappeared, and I don’t know who replaced Tianquan’s body...
But there is no doubt that the people who do these things are definitely not with the fake Qin Ziyi.
Likewise, he is not in the same group as Beichen.
In other words... when he was fighting with Beichen, there were other people behind Beichen who were also dealing with Beichen.
As for Beichen, maybe he doesn't even know about this person's existence?
If it were just to make Tian Quan's body disappear, there would be no need to find a substitute. After all, it is not easy to find a substitute.
But that man found a substitute and disguised himself. If his blood hadn't betrayed him, Shen Lian might not have known that Tianquan's body was fake.
Therefore, the reason for this trouble...maybe I don't want people to know that Tian Quan's body has been replaced, and I don't want people to know about this person's existence.
That purpose...is it for Yin Beichen?
Or, he doesn't want Beichen to know his existence, because Beichen... might guess the identity of that person?
Abao and others looked at Shen Lian, the expressions in their eyes changed again and again, they all held their breath and concentrated without making a sound to disturb.
Although they didn't know that Shen Lian's thoughts had already spread to Beichen, they also knew that it was absolutely important for Shen Lian to think about it so seriously.
After a while, Shen Lian recovered his mind.
Glancing at the fake Qin Ziyi on the ground, he raised the corner of his mouth and said, "There is a road after this stone room. Where does this road lead? What arrangements do you have?"
Fake Qin Ziyi shook her head, feeling extremely desperate.
"I don't know. The order I received was just to stay here. So after I learned about the situation in the palace, I waited here for you to come. I don't know anything else."
Shen Lian took a careful look at the fake Qin Ziyi.
He could see that fake Qin Ziyi did not tell lies.
He really didn't know what was going on behind the scenes.
Shen Lian retracted his feet and glanced at the fake government officials. When Shen Lian glanced at them, each of them felt cold in their hearts.
Shen Lian said at this time: "Be sensible and let us tie you up. You can live for a few more days. Otherwise, you will be buried with these corpses today."
When the government officials heard this, their faces turned extremely pale.
They looked at the immobile Qin Ziyi on the ground, then at the stinking corpses on the ground, then at the eager defenses of A Bao and others, and finally... they looked at this man who was as smart as a devil. Such a desperate young man.
Finally, there was a bang and someone threw the weapon down.
"I surrender, don't kill me!"
If one person gives up, then there will be no surprises for the others.
It didn't take long for these people to surrender one after another, and soon they were all tied up.
The same goes for fake Qin Ziyi.
They were tied into rice dumplings, just like when Shen Lian and the others came in before, they were all tied tightly.
If it weren't for the corpses lying on the ground, Xu Gou would be in a trance and think that everything just happened was a dream.
Shen Lian glanced at Qin Ziyi and others who were tied up, raised the corners of his mouth, and said lazily: "You just protect your people from killing you and silencing you. At this time, being taken to Dali Temple, for you, , maybe the best result.”
When Fake Qin Ziyi and others heard this, their whole bodies trembled.
Before they could speak, Qin Ziyi yawned and said, "Let's go on."
Just like the previous two levels, Shen Lian's expression was still as calm and relaxed as ever.
Abao glanced at these people and couldn't help but lower his voice and said: "Sir, just leave them here like this? Will anything happen?"
Shen Lian glanced at Xu Gou: "What's the matter?"
"Could they have escaped?"
"escape?"
Shen Lian sneered: "Their identities are already known to us, and they have no value anymore. How about escaping? Do you think those guys would do such a worthless thing? Killing them is a hundred times easier than helping them escape." "
"Then will they be killed?"
"Kill him, kill him." Shen Lian's expression did not waver at all.
Abao was startled: "Sir, you don't seem to care about their life or death?"
Shen Lian did not respond, but his attitude was already obvious.
"Then why, instead of killing them directly, do you have to go to great lengths to tie them up and send someone to take them away later?"
Abao doesn't think that Shen Lian is someone who likes trouble.
Shen Lian said lightly: "If he dies, it means that someone is following us behind us, monitoring us, or..."
Shen Lian paused for a moment and glanced around the stone room. His dim gaze made Ah Bao feel a little cold. Then Shen Lian looked back and said with a smile: "...it can make me Know something."
"If they are not dead, they still have value. If they are brought to the Dali Temple Yamen, some news will spread."
At this point, Shen Lian's eyes flashed, and he smiled evilly: "Although that man said that he might be hostile to Beichen, he had already done this a day ago, but there was no reminder. Our actions can only show that he may not have any good intentions towards me."
"In that case. That person is afraid of being known by Beichen, so I won't let him get what he wants."
He suddenly laughed and said in an unkind tone, "Isn't it interesting to watch dogs bite dogs?"
Abao couldn't help but shrink his neck when he heard Shen Lian's words and looked at Shen Lian's smile that made people's skin crawl.
He just felt that his master was so insidious now!
But when he thought that his master was not a good person, he no longer thought about it.
"okay."
Shen Lian said no more: "I've been delayed here for a long time. Don't waste any more time. Open the door."
Abao and Ali looked at each other, then pressed their hands on the door with sudden force.
The stone door suddenly made a harsh sound and was slowly opened.
And everything was just as Shen Lian expected, there was still a dark passage behind this stone door.
Ali frowned and said, "The main hall of the Huan Mansion is really far away. Are they going to take us across Chang'an?"
Shen Lian couldn't help but smile when he heard Ali's complaints.
He snapped his fingers and said calmly: "Let's go. Haven't you heard that sharpening a knife will not waste time chopping wood? Haven't you heard that slow work produces fine work? Maybe the main hall of the Fantasy Mansion is worth such a long journey?"
Ali and others held torches, and after hearing Shen Lian's words, they entered the passage without further delay.
The sound of everyone's footsteps quickly faded away.
Soon, nothing could be heard.
The fake Qin Ziyi was tied up. After hearing no sound, she hurriedly said to the others: "Quickly, find a way to untie me. Let's hurry up while Shen Lian and the others are gone. If we don't escape now, we won't be able to escape at all in the future." "
After hearing Qin Ziyi's words, the others quickly gathered together.
Although they were tightly tied, because there were so many people, they could still get together and find a way to help the fake Qin Ziyi loosen their ties first. As long as one person escaped, the others could also escape.
Fake Qin Ziyi saw that the rope was gradually loosening, and a look of pride appeared on her face: "Shen Lian, you didn't expect it, the reason why I am obedient is not because I am afraid of you, but because I have hope of escape."
"When you come back, you will not be able to find me for a long time. I am already high in the sky and let the birds fly. In this life, you will never even think of catching me -"
…………
boom!
At this moment, a loud collision suddenly sounded in the stone room.
Because the sound was so sudden, it directly interrupted the fake Qin Ziyi's words and made everyone else stunned.
"what sound?"
"Where's the sound coming from?"
Everyone was subconsciously puzzled.
boom!
At this time, another voice sounded.
Everyone was prepared, and this time they found the place where the sound came from, and they quickly looked around.
And then the next moment--
"What!?"
"this….…"
"Coffin, the coffin has moved!"
Someone suddenly yelled.
I saw that the coffin containing the fake Tianquan's corpse just now... actually started to move.
It's not the coffin lid that's moving, but the whole coffin.
These people were completely frightened.
Fake Qin Ziyi's eyes widened suddenly, with a look of horror on her face.
The reason the coffins were moved before was because he controlled the corpses, so he had no fear.
But now, now he has no control!
So, what is this sound going on?
Bang!
At this moment, the coffin without the lid was suddenly lifted off and hit the wall directly with a loud bang.
This voice seemed to ring in their hearts, making their whole bodies tremble.
Then, they saw a figure slowly appear from under the coffin.
The next moment he saw this figure, the pupils in fake Qin Ziyi's eyes suddenly shrank, and he was extremely frightened: "You...you...you..."
Poof!
Before he finished speaking, a head with extremely frightened head shot up into the sky.
Then the cold light flickered.
Soon, the ground was covered with blood.
Several heads rolled on the ground with faces filled with horror.
A bloody knife was taken away by this figure.
He glanced at the passage where Shen Lian and others left, then turned around and strode towards the passage where Shen Lian and others came from.
There was no sound in the stone room behind him.
In the dark passage.
Shen Lian and his group were walking forward slowly. The passage ahead was dark and the end could not be seen at a glance. It was impossible to know how long the passage was.
After walking in the dark passage for so long, Ali and others had completely lost their sense of direction. They didn't know which direction they were walking in, or what time it was.
The dark passage and constant movement made them seem to have forgotten the concept of time.
But fortunately, they don't feel particularly hungry now, so they can roughly estimate that it's not yet bright outside.
At this time, Ali's footsteps suddenly paused.
He said: "Did you hear anything?"
"What?" Abao looked at Ali in confusion.
Ali frowned slightly. He turned around and looked back. It was pitch black behind him and he couldn't see anything.
He said: "I just seemed to hear something screaming, coming from behind us."
Hearing this, Abao and others subconsciously looked back.
Behind me, it was so dark that I couldn't see or hear anything, as if there was something terrifying lurking in the darkness.
When they contacted Ali again, their hair almost stood up.
"Ali, did you hear it wrong?" Abao said, "I didn't hear anything!"
The other Jin Yiwei also shook their heads.
"Did I hear wrongly?" Ali frowned.
He looked at Shen Lian and saw that Shen Lian kept walking and looked forward calmly.
