Chapter Seventy-One

In the small courtyard of the West Wing of Chongyang Academy, next to the table in Zuo's room.

"Who do you say.......?"

The dull voice of Zuo Idiot frowning and asking made the remaining three people present stunned.

Not only Chu Jing, but even Deng Si'er rarely saw it, and it could almost be said that he had never seen Zuo Idiot so surprised.

It's not that the expression itself is exaggerated, but it is manifested on Zuo Idiot's expressionless face, and such a voice is particularly shocking.

Meng ...... Meng Hu. Dou Ba couldn't help but speak, and he was a little unsharp.

Meng Hu ...... Meng Hu...... Could it be ......" Chu Jing thought back to this name, and also felt a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

"Who is Meng Hu?"

Deng Si'er saw that Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing were both unusually interested in the name "Meng Hu", so he blinked his eyes and walked back and forth on the two of them, and asked suspiciously.

"I remember hearing people say a few years ago, Meng Hu was a well-known outlaw in the rivers and lakes, as long as the money given is enough, he can kill people for that person, he has robbed the dart team many times, I heard that he is very murderous, burning, killing and looting, all involved, it is said that he is also very good at kung fu, all hard kung fu, very strong."

Chu Jing remembered what he had heard people mention many years ago, and while recalling it, he felt strange, why did Zuo Idiot seem to care so much about a person like Meng Hu?

"Idiot Zuo, how do you know about Meng Hu?" Chu Jing looked at Zuo Idiot and asked.

Zuo Idiot has returned to his usual appearance, but there is still no obvious change on his face, but his tone of voice has eased a lot.

I just heard the left idiot say:

"You don't know, two years ago, this man named Meng Hu, robbed the convoy of the family of an official of the imperial court, not only robbed all his property, but also killed all the people, after the case was submitted to Dali Temple, I was ordered to investigate, I still remember clearly, those people's deaths were extremely tragic, it can be seen that Meng Hu's murder is indeed not an ordinary bandit."

"And after that?" Deng Si'er asked.

"The rest of the matter is much simpler, I took a lot of effort to arrest Meng Hu, and I was put on death row on the same day." Zuo Idiot continued.

"On death row? Could it be that Meng Hu escaped from prison? Otherwise, why is there Meng Hu's name on this list? ”

Deng Si'er picked up the list and looked at it twice, there was indeed the name of "Meng Hu", so he raised it to Zuo Idiot and asked puzzled.

Zuo Idiot took the list in Deng Si'er's hand, looked at the names of the three people neatly recorded in small characters on the list, as well as the "Dou Ba" and "Meng Hu" they already knew, his eyes couldn't help sinking, and then he raised his head and explained to the three people in the room:

"Whether the name of 'Meng Hu' on this list is true or false, or whether it is someone else, I can't be sure now, but I am sure that this Meng Hu, like Dou Ba, was also sentenced to behead by Dali Temple for public display, and ......"

"And what?" Deng Si'er stopped when he saw Zuo Idiot talking, couldn't help but be a little impatient, and hurriedly asked.

"And ......" Zuo Idiot stood up and looked at the three of them, and said slowly:

"At that time...... It's me personally...... Prisoner of beheading. ”

"What!! So if that's the case, isn't that Meng Hu... Isn't it... Already dead? Deng Si'er looked at Zuo Idiot in surprise, his head was already confused by Zuo Idiot.

"Are you suspicious, that Meng Hu...... Also a stand-in? Chu Jing looked at Zuo Idiot, and also said in a deep voice.

After hearing Chu Jing's voice, Zuo Idiot nodded, sat down again, and kept tapping the table with one hand, so that Dou Ba's heart, which was sitting next to Zuo Idiot, also jumped up involuntarily.

"Left... Lord Zuo, you, can you be a little more careful? I...... I don't understand what you're saying. Dou Ba swallowed a mouthful of spit, looked at Zuo Idiot's hard side face, and asked boldly.

Deng Si'er also nodded and said:

"That's it, Lord Zuo, those people can change Meng Hu under your nose, it can be seen that the origin is not ordinary! And this Meng Hu, why is he in this list? ”

Zuo Idiot didn't answer, but glanced back at Dou Ba beside him, and with his usual scrutiny when investigating the case, he asked:

"Dou Ba, have you really seen Meng Hu? With your situation at the time, can you really recognize this Meng Hu's appearance? ”

Dou Ba immediately nodded and said:

"That's right, that's right, it's also the king of the mountains from the northern border of Xining, how could I not know him! It's just that our Tao is different, we are each other's well water and not river water, even if I was controlled by that damn potion at that time, but I also had a time when I was sober, that Meng Hu, although I don't know when such a long and deep scar appeared on my face, but I definitely didn't admit it. ”

The left idiot snorted softly, a long and deep scar on his face?

"Lord Zuo? You ......" Dou Ba heard a soft "hum" sound from Zuo Idiot's nasal cavity, and thought that Zuo Idiot didn't believe what he said, so he said hesitantly.

"What? But what's wrong? Chu Jing also asked.

Zuo Idiot shook his head and said:

"What Dou Ba said is indeed true, as for the 'long and deep scar', it was injured with a sword with my own hands during the fight when I arrested Meng Hu, so the Meng Hu that Dou Ba said should be the Meng Hu I arrested back then."

As soon as Dou Ba heard Zuo Idiot say this, he immediately put his mind at ease, but he felt that it was wrong, so he asked:

"Lord Zuo, there are both my name and Meng Hu's name on this list, what the hell is going on?"

Zuo Idiot shook his head and did not speak.

Seeing that Zuo was silent, Dou Ba turned his head to look at Chu Jing again.

Chu Jing also shook his head and said he didn't know.

Dou Ba just wanted to turn his gaze to Deng Si'er, but then he felt that Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing didn't know why, so he forgot it.

Deng Si'er scolded secretly in his heart when he saw this, but he really couldn't think of the reason himself, but he still guessed and said:

"Could it be related to the 'Manifestation' potion?"

Zuo Idiot raised his eyes to look at Deng Si'er and said:

"This is certainly not wrong, I think the names on this list should be in the room where you met Dou Ba, among the other men who were chained."

Deng Si'er nodded when he listened, and then asked:

"And then? We also rescued Meng Hu? ”

"No, after Dou Ba escaped, the Song Mansion must have strengthened its guards, maybe it will change places, and if you go again, I'm afraid it's not so easy to deal with." Chu Jing reminded.

"What then?" Deng Si'er continued to ask.

"Let's figure out first, why Dou Ba was used to test the 'Reveal Truth' potion." Zuo Idiot said.

"That's right, as long as you can know the reason why Dou Ba was used to test potions, then these people must have something in common." Chu Jing's eyes lit up and said.

"How?" Deng Si'er hurriedly asked.

"Find someone first." Zuo Idiot said.

"Who?"

"Divine Doctor Yu Baicao."
