When Huang Qinghe heard Miss Xu's words, he immediately stopped. Turning his head, he found Miss Xu stepping onto the altar. This was the first time he saw Miss Xu looking panicked since he met Miss Xu.
Huang Qinghe immediately realized what had happened. The statue of Yuanshi Tianzun might contain firearms. Thinking of this, cold sweat immediately dripped from his forehead.
Xu Qinghuan stepped forward anxiously because she was afraid that Huang Qinghe had already taken action without hearing what she said. She knew the people investigating the case very well. As soon as she found out any clues, she would be immersed in her own thoughts. Many times she would not hear the people outside.
What did he say? Now that Huang Qinghe had taken his hand away, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Things were not as bad as she thought.
First, let everyone leave the Taoist temple, and then ask people from the Shenji Camp to help. The people who know the most about firearms in Dazhou are the Shenji Camp.
Perhaps she was too suspicious, as it was not a firearm at all, but there was always something wrong with being cautious.
"Sir, what should we do?"
Maybe the atmosphere was too tense. Before Huang Qinghe could speak, the officials hurriedly asked. They didn't know what happened. Originally everything was fine, but they just discovered that there might be evidence hidden in the statue. Suddenly
The eldest lady of the Anyi Hou Mansion told them to stop.
Huang Qinghe hasn't spoken yet.
One of the officials spoke: "Sir, there is something wrong with this statue. This Yuanshi Tianzun shouldn't be carrying a sword or anything like that!"
Another cadre retorted: "Why is Yuanshi Tianzun carrying a sword on his body?"
The officer asked again: "Then what are you holding?"
Everyone looked at the hand of another Yamen servant and saw a dark stick-like thing in his hand.
"What is this?" the officer said, opening his hand to see.
"Don't move, don't do anything now."
Another voice came, and it was Miss An Yihou who spoke, but this time the voice was not as impatient as before, but very gentle. As if it would scare them, the Yamen did not open his fingers.
"There may be something fishy about this statue. Please maintain your current actions until the Shenji Battalion arrives." Huang Qinghe immediately ordered.
"God... Shenji camp..."
"Sir...what on earth is this."
Huang Qinghe said: "There may be firearms among them. If they don't explode now, it means you will be fine if you don't move. We don't understand this after all. When the Shenji Battalion comes, we will know what to do." This is all his.
It's my fault that I didn't notice that there was such an iron rod-like object on the back of the statue just now. This iron rod was obviously placed here deliberately. Although he was a civil servant and didn't know much, he also knew about the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Many firearms are detonated by triggering, stepping on or impacting. It is possible that this iron rod is the key to detonating.
"Firearms... Sir, you didn't scare us, did you?"
"This...what can we do?"
"Don't shake your hands."
Anyone in this situation may lose control of their emotions.
"Miss, please go first," Huang Qinghe calmed down, "I'll accompany them here." He couldn't implicate Miss Xu.
"Sir, I haven't touched anything, can I leave?" One of the officials was younger, with a panic look on his face.
"I...I still have an old mother to support at home, and I don't want to die here." As he spoke, the official raised his feet and jumped off the altar table.
In a panic, he accidentally stepped on the brocade spread on the altar. The brocade was moved, and the statue of Yuanshi Tianzun was also moved along with it.
The statue had been moved to the edge of the altar, so the whole statue would fall down if it became unstable.
Xu Qingan watched the Zhang family leave one after another, and then he was relieved and prepared to go into the hall to look for his sister. Just as he walked to the door, he heard the voice of the yamen coming from inside. He was immediately startled, raised his legs and ran towards the hall, but just now
As he stepped into the threshold, he suddenly felt his collar tighten, and then a strong force came from him, forcefully pulling his whole body backwards, and then his body fell backwards uncontrollably.
The man seemed to think that he hadn't hit him hard enough, so he punched him in the stomach. He immediately felt that everything in his stomach was squeezed together, and indescribable pain came from him, making him almost breathless.
He was angry, and this punch also caused him to fall further away from the Taoist temple hall.
Falling heavily to the ground, Xu Qing'an couldn't help opening his mouth and spitting out filth, but he was worried about the safety of his sister in the hall and couldn't care about anything else, so he got up immediately. The man just now obviously didn't let him approach the hall, and now that man
He stepped into the palace again, maybe he was going to attack his sister.
As soon as Xu Qingan stood up staggeringly, he heard a cry of surprise from the hall, and then someone grabbed his arm and dragged him backwards: "Quickly..."
In the darkness, Xu Qingan couldn't see clearly what happened. He only heard a "boom" in his ears, and stones and dust immediately rushed toward him.
"Qing Huan." Xu Qing'an shouted, but no one responded to him. Xu Qing'an's whole body was immediately wrapped in fear, leaving him unable to breathe at all.
He could see clearly that no one had stepped out of the hall just now, which meant that his sister had been...
Xu Qing'an didn't know where he got the strength to get away from the people around him and ran forward.
Uncle Lei, who heard the noise outside, immediately entered the yard.
Everyone was stunned for a moment when they saw the situation in front of them, but then they came back to their senses and said: "Save people quickly."
…
Xu Qinghuan watched the statue fall to the altar. The statue would definitely break if it fell to the ground. If there were any firearms in it, it would probably be triggered in an instant.
No one can stop this from happening.
If there really was a firearm, even if she ran away now, she still wouldn't be able to escape. Fortunately, neither her brother nor Uncle Lei followed her in.
Xu Qinghuan was thinking about this for a moment, and everyone else in the hall was also stunned.
But just when the statue was about to fall to the ground, a stool was thrown over. The stool hit the statue, which slowed the downward movement of the statue. Then a table was thrown in front of the altar, just in time to hit the statue.
He caught the falling statue. Although there was no way to completely stop the statue from continuing to roll downward, it bought him a moment of time.
Xu Qinghuan felt a tightening in her waist, as if she was being held in someone's arms, and then there was a "boom" in her ears, as if a spark flashed, and her eyes instantly fell into darkness.
After an unknown amount of time, the collapse and the sound of impact gradually subsided. Xu Qinghuan faintly heard her brother calling her name. Xu Qinghuan wanted to move her body to determine where she was.
But I heard someone say in my ear: "Don't move, something might fall down."
This is Song Chengxuan's voice.
The place where her palm touched seemed to have a touch of warmth, and a clear heartbeat could be heard in her ears. She...it seemed...to be in someone's arms.
