More than two days passed. Li Zhong, the master of Jushi County, visited Xiang Zheng every day. Every time he came empty-handed, and the things he brought were always mixed with silver coins. However, the more Li Zhong did this, the more panicked Xiang Zheng became. Xiang Zheng had a serious intention.
He refuses to accept it but is afraid that the Jushi County magistrate's money will get in trouble and bite him when he is about to die. King Yi has already got a lot of evidence about him. By then, not only himself but also the entire Afterimage Sect will be implicated.
, and now Xiang Zheng can't even send a carrier pigeon, and he can't receive a reply. It should be that the letter has been intercepted by someone. Fortunately, the letters are encrypted and need to be translated to be read. Even if they are taken by others, they can't understand anything.
Meaning, but Xiang Zheng didn't see anyone coming to save him day by day. Under the current situation, Xiang Zheng also knew that he had to save himself. Just when he thought of this, the maid came in and said: "Master, he is sneaky here again."
Xiang Zheng was playing chess with himself at this time. When he heard Sneaky coming, he nodded and said, "Please come in."
Xiang Zheng had no choice but to cooperate with King Yi. At this time, Sneaky walked in with his hands behind his back. When he saw Xiang Zheng playing chess, he said, "Hey, Mr. Xiang is so elegant."
Xiang Zheng held the black piece in his hand and stared at the chessboard with his eyes and said, "Can you play chess?"
Sneaky glanced at the black and white pieces on the chessboard, shook his head and said, "No, I can't understand either."
Xiang Zheng smiled and said: "You don't have to understand that Heizi must give up something if he wants to survive now. It's really hard to make a choice."
When Gui Xiu heard this, he knew that there was something in Xiang Zheng's words, so Gui Xiu sat across from Xiang Zheng, scratched his chin and said, "Well, Sir Xiang should have already figured out how to choose and how to make a decision."
When Xiang Zheng heard this, he sighed helplessly and said, "I understand. Go back and tell King Yi that I am willing to help him, but I want peace."
Hearing this, Gui Xiu grinned a few times and laughed, and then said: "Master Xiang has indeed figured it out, but... I can't just go back empty-handed. I have to bring some tokens?"
Xiang Zheng knew that King Yi was not simple, but Xiang Zheng couldn't guess what King Yi wanted, so he looked at Gui Sui in confusion. Gui Sui looked around and then lowered his voice and said, "Master Xiang, you are in the world.
Known as Po Tian Lei, the artillery you made is extraordinary, but Tian Lei No. 3 has never been produced, so..."
At this point, Xiang Zheng understood that King Yi wanted the design of Tianlei. Hearing this, Xiang Zheng patted the chessboard, stood up, pointed his finger furtively, and said angrily: "You! You... you are delusional, that's
If something like that is created by a big murder weapon, all lives will be destroyed, and I will never be an executioner!"
Sneaky saw that Xiang Zheng's reaction showed no emotion at all. Instead, he calmly said to Xiang Zheng: "Master Xiang, you have to think about it. I will give you three days to think about it. During this time, I can ensure that the mine is safe.
It's okay, but once the three days expire, there will be a river of blood."
After saying this, Xiang Sheng stood up and left. After Xiang Zheng left, Xiang Zheng couldn't calm down for a long time. If he handed over the design drawings of Tianlei, he could ensure that the people in the mine would be safe, but if he handed over the drawings, it would definitely cause trouble.
War, by then, will not be as simple as one or two people dying. The country and the world will be in chaos. Xiang Zheng had been sitting in the living room for who knows how long. At this time, the maid came in and said, "Master Li Zhong is here again."
See you there?"
Xiang Zheng shook his head and said: "Let him go, just say I'm not feeling well, and tell him to send people into the cave tomorrow to search for the bodies of the victims."
After saying this, Xiang Zheng slowly lay down on the ground, closed his eyes, let out a long breath, and murmured to himself: "Zhong Ting, you just walked away and ignored me, why did you stay?"
Give me this mess."
Although Xiang Zheng was still struggling, Qian Jin was very happy to hear that he could enter the cave, and immediately prepared a team of people to explore the cave tomorrow. In the early morning of this day, Qian Jin led his people to the entrance of the mine in person.
A small shed was set up at the entrance of the cave and a chair was prepared. The master next to him, Li Zhong, was fanning Qian Jin. The miners' families were surrounding him, waiting to identify the body. Everyone present had their hearts in their throats and went in.
A group of people came out soon. Everyone was relieved. These people also began to move the corpses out of the cave. Nearly a hundred corpses had been moved out in the morning. Qian Jin looked at these people.
The corpse murmured in his heart. If he really blamed the ghosts for this, mining would probably be a problem in the future. But if you want to solve the case, this murderer is extraordinary. He actually killed so many people in two months.
, even if the murderer is found, it may not be possible to arrest him, and Qian Jin already thinks that this is Xiang Zheng's fault, but now even though Xiang Zheng has stopped, the case cannot be closed. After all, it is a hundred lives. Isn't it above?
It would be so easy to deal with it. At this time, Xiao Wu who was standing aside saw that most of the corpses were miners, Taoist priests and monks who exorcised evil spirits, and some martial arts people who were probably here to collect the rewards. These people were all without exception.
They were all frightened before they died. Wu Zuo next to him was inspecting the corpses. Xiao Wu came to Wu Zuo and asked: "Brother, may I ask these people...are they killed by humans or ghosts?"
Wu Zuo looked at the timid Xiao Wu and said: "Ghost? I tell you there are two kinds of objects used to kill people. You can tell from the wounds of the deceased. The first one is a knife, but this person should be very strong and can kill with one knife."
The head of the servant, and the height should be higher than that of ordinary people. The second type is a blunt weapon. I think the wound should be an object like a hook. Both wounds are intended to take people's lives. They should show no mercy.
He is a professional killer."
Xiao Wu heard Zuo's analysis and wrote it down. After everyone had been busy for a day, Qian Jin was very tired and went back to rest early. Xiao Wu led a group of brothers to identify the body for the family of the deceased. This was a busy job
It was the ugly hour of the day when everyone was done. Xiao Wu wanted to go back and have a good rest. However, Xiao Wu felt so hungry that he decided to go to a tavern that he often went to. There was a tavern that the errands often went to.
, we got to know each other from time to time, so I left one person here to work the night shift. The cook would also cook more food before leaving. Usually when it closes, he opens the front door and opens the back door. Xiao Wu is also a frequent visitor here and he can walk there in a few steps.
This tavern, this place is called Ma's Tavern. The shopkeeper's surname is Ma. Xiao Wu walked in directly from the back door, chose a table and sat down. Xiao Wu shouted: "Wang Er! Get me something to eat."
ah!"
As he spoke, Wang Er came over with a pot of wine, put the wine on Xiao Wu's table and said, "Hey~ It's quite late today, what are you busy with?"
Xiao Wu also said without hesitation: "Hey~ Forget it, we went down to the mine to move corpses today. I'm exhausted from this day!"
As soon as Xiao Wu said this, the guests at the table next to him turned to look at Xiao Wu. This time Xiao Wu realized that there were two people sitting next to him. Xiao Wu quickly lowered his voice and said, "Why are there two more people?"
Wang Er also lowered his voice and said: "These two people are sitting here tonight. The money is not ambiguous. I can't chase him away and just drink until now."
After hearing Wang Er's words, Xiao Wu also looked at the two people around him. One of them was a big man. He looked to be in his thirties. He frowned and stared, with a big mouth and a big nose. He had messy hair and was carrying a long hair on his back.
There is a cloth bag, and next to it is a woman who is about thirty years old. She is blind with gauze wrapped around her eyes. Her skin color is a little yellow, but her nose and mouth can be seen to be long and delicate. Her hands are also wrapped in gauze and there seems to be something inside.
It was like anything else. It was a bit difficult for the woman to raise her arms. Xiao Wu smelled a familiar smell from the woman at this time, but Xiao Wu was so hungry that his mind couldn't move, so he didn't care and took two sips of wine.
Shi Wang Er brought out a bowl of noodles and some stir-fried vegetables. Xiao Wu was not polite and started eating. After a while, the big man stood up and picked up a piece of wood from the corner.
Gen Mugen passed it to the blind girl next to him, and the big man pulled the wooden stick in front of him. The two walked out of Ma's Tavern one after another. When the blind girl passed by Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu even sniffed her.
The smell, but Xiao Wu just couldn't remember where he had smelled it. When he saw the two walking out of the tavern, Xiao Wu had almost eaten and was about to leave. At this time, Xiao Wu thought about whether he should take a shower.
He was covered in corpse odor because of his work. Thinking of this, Xiao Wu stood up and quickly took out a few copper coins and put them on the table, then turned around and chased him out. This time, Xiao Wu thought of the blind girl.
The smell of corpses was on their bodies. If these two people were not the murderers, then the smell of corpses on their bodies would be a big problem. Xiao Wu started searching through the streets and alleys. Just when Xiao Wu was about to give up, a voice came from Xiao Wu.
There was a sound from behind, and the man said: "Are you looking for us?"
Xiao Wu quickly looked back and found that it was the big man just now, and the blind girl was standing next to him. When Xiao Wu observed the big man in front of him at such a close range, the big man's face became even more ferocious and terrifying, but Xiao Wu was still strong.
Guts said: "You...why do you have corpse smell on your body?"
The big man forced a smile on his face and said: "Sir, there is a funeral in our family. My wife and I have just finished attending the funeral. Can you understand."
As he spoke, the big man put his hand on Xiao Wu's shoulder. Xiao Wu's heart was about to jump out of his throat. Xiao Wu thought to himself: "I'm going to die here. If I had known better, I wouldn't have chased him out."
"
But at this time, the sound of a carriage and a female voice came to my ears. The female voice said: "Oh~ the guest rooms are all full at this late hour. You won't be sleeping on the street today."
All three people heard this sentence, and the blind girl on the side said: "There is someone."
But the big man did not let go but looked up. The three people were standing in the middle of the street. They saw the carriage slowly coming and stopping in front of the three people. The person driving the carriage was none other than Shun.
Ying, at this time Ruoxuan on the carriage said again: "Why don't you leave? Have you arrived?"
As she spoke, Ruoxuan opened the curtain and stuck her head out. Shunying stared at the three people in front of her and said, "Go back quickly!" (To be continued)
