Chapter 21
Ting Huan's gaze began to penetrate the Celestial Silkworm Riveting, far longer than it took to see through the copper pipe at that time!
I see!
The reed inside comes with thirty-two pegs! Exactly thirty-two small holes are plugged and the source of resistance. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
However, a thin chain of snakebones was attached between them to support the reeds, so that the reeds could not be retracted, and must be opened every seven from one to eight, and from two to nine, until thirty-two. Poke each hole, and the snake bone chain falls off. The elasticity of the reed is restored, and the lock can be opened.
So ingenious! Ting Huan admired in his heart.
After seeing this, she reached for the first hole and was about to poke it into it with a drill......
But there was a gong at the door, followed by the questioning of the officers and soldiers: "Whose carriage is it?" Who are you? It's all curfew, why are you still walking around here? Do you still understand the rules!? ”
Ting Huan was so focused that he was startled, and the chisel in his hand fell on the brick floor.
Shengyi hurriedly knelt on the ground to touch it, Qianchun held the lamp to help him illuminate, and a drop of hot oil dropped on Shengyi's ears and neck, and he screamed "yay" when he was hot.
The officers and soldiers patrolling outside the door immediately shouted: "There are people in the store too? Who's calling? Check it out! ”
The cloaked boy stood up and strode out, closing the door tightly.
"Who are you? What are you doing here in the middle of the night? ”
Then came the voice of the military master: "Bold, how dare you talk to the prince like this?" ”
The officers and soldiers who patrolled the night said: "What is not a master, even the emperor Lao Tzu can't be fooled around!" Do you still understand the royal law?! …… Who's screaming in the house, and what the hell are you? ……”
Suddenly the person who spoke stopped talking.
I don't know if I saw or heard something, and then a few people whispered about it, and then the cloaked man lowered his voice and said a few more words.
The raw clothes had already touched the chisel and handed it to Ting Huan.
Ting Huan stood, not knowing whether to continue or wait for the boy to come back; She looked at the prisoner, who had never said a word, who was this person? How did you get such a torture device?
Ge Ling took the freshly cut potato chips to help put them on his raw clothes, and his mouth hissed and endured the pain.
At this time, an officer knocked on the door and asked, "Who is calling?" Is it a big deal? Do you want us to come in and have a look? ”
Listening to their strange question, the people in the house did not know how to answer.
"Squeak, yes! Could it be that you really want us to come in? Hurry! If you have something to do, you can reply! ”
Jijin suddenly understood that they didn't actually want to come in, it was estimated that the boy used his identity to suppress them, otherwise he would have rushed in, but they also heard the screams in the store, if they didn't pay attention to it, they were afraid that something would really happen in the future.
That's why there is such a strange question.
Ji Jin hurriedly dragged his raw clothes to the door, opened a crack in the door and said, "Official, it was the villain who accidentally scalded him with an oil lamp, and he screamed!" ”
"Hot? Is it true? Where's the scalding? Show me! ”
The raw clothes had to put the back of their heads against the crack in the door, the potato slices fell off, and a lantern was held high to shine a light, and the patrolman said, "It's quite hot!" I can't fucking sleep well in the middle of the night, isn't this full of food?! ”
"Alright, let's go! Shut down early and go to bed! ”
The patrol couldn't afford to provoke the boy, so he had to point at Sang and scold Huai and say a few words, and then beat the gong in a demonstrative way before walking away!
The wooden door opened again, and the cloaked man flashed in.
The lights were blown by the wind that he turned around, and I saw that his lips were thin and his face was thin.
"Let's get started!"
"Wait a minute......
"Who is this person? Who is Your Excellency? And who put this shackle on him? ”
Nangong, who was sitting, suddenly opened his mouth unhurriedly.
The eyes of several people were on the man with his head covered, who sat with his back to the crowd, a burly figure, but now he was hunched back, his clothes shabby with an indescribable unpleasant smell.
"Who is Your Excellency? If he turns out to be a prisoner, how can we afford to track him down in the future? ”
The atmosphere in the hall was dull, and what added to this pressure was the gaze of the cloaked boy.
"Don't worry, the shopkeeper, this person is not a prisoner of the imperial court, as for who locked him, I have nothing to say! The officers and soldiers who had just been patrolling passed through the door and did not enter, and the shopkeeper should have known that I could suppress the matter,...... So you'd better not ask anything! Just unlock ......"
There was already a hint of threat in his tone.
Nangong snorted coldly: "I also know that the identity of the son is not ordinary, but we are just small people in the market, and we are worried about the safety after unlocking. ”
"Now that I know that Miss can untie it, it's not up to you to decide whether to open it or not! As long as you keep your mouth shut about today's events, I can naturally guarantee your safety! ”
"There is no basis for words, but we can't rest assured!"
The cloaked boy stepped forward, his boots pressing like thunder on the brick floor.
"No one has ever dared to question my promise! The owner better keep his mouth shut......"
Ting Huan suddenly said: "He fainted!" ”
Hearing this, the cloaked boy hurried two steps to look at the man, and Jijin and Chiharu helped him lift the man up.
"Xu is covering his head for too long!"
"Go pour a glass of water!" Childe ordered, and shouted to the door again: "Kitahara, come in and feed the water!" ”
It was the military master from before who came in, and he took the cup in Ge Ling's hand and held the man's head to feed him water; After a dozen mouthfuls, the man nodded and said it was okay.
Kitahara whispered again if he could hold on, and he nodded.
Beiyuan said to Ting Huan with an anxious face: "Miss, don't be grinding, he is miserable like a grandson, you should pity him, hurry up and untie him!" ”
Ting Huan said lightly: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient!" Unlocking also takes time......"
Then he looked up and said to Nangong, "Father...... The daughter thinks that Childe's promise is credible! ”
Nangong said slowly: "At this point, you are interested in this lock!" Whatever you want! ”
Ting Huan sat down, touched the first hole again, and then according to the order of remembering, one by one to open the gasket inside, when the last one opened, I heard the sound of the reed liberation, extremely subtle but wonderful!
Then I used tweezers to pinch the lock cylinder and gently tugged it, only to hear the "click" sound of the first thumb buckled open.
Everyone else was fine, and the locked man let out a wolf-like cry from his throat.
Ting Huan was not affected by him, and looked down to see why the second lock was not opened, it turned out that the second lock was hooked by a small reed.
Ting Huan picked it open with a chisel, and the second one was also opened, and this time it was the other thumb that was liberated. Then the third and fourth opened, and the man could finally slowly retract his arms behind his back.
Kitahara helped him move his shoulders.
