Chapter 076: Thieves
Hao Jun didn't know Xiao Yu's careful thoughts, and said directly: "The treasures in the ancient tomb on Niujiao Mountain were stolen by thieves, and General Ling is investigating them." ”
In fact, Xiao Yu felt a little disdain in his heart, what kind of tomb robber, the government also blatantly dug up the mausoleum to find what he wanted, if others were stealing the court, they would be robbers.
"What thief is so bold?" Xiao Yu was surprised.
"Judging from all indications, it may be someone in the poison door." Since Hao Jun had already made a start, Xiao Yucheng told him the whole story of the matter, and Xiao Yu only frowned when he heard it.
This matter has nothing to do with the discovery that he feared, but it involved the remnants of the drug door bandits.
In recent days, Li Zhang and Ling Yi have been letting people enter the tomb to explore the way, and ordered craftsmen to dismantle the mechanism in the tomb and set up wall lamps, etc., although many people were killed and injured and some utensils were damaged, but the entire mausoleum did not collapse. After digging day and night for half a month, officers and men with better skills can now enter safely if they are more cautious.
After comparing the paintings in the tomb with the history books, those people decided that this ancient tomb was indeed the mausoleum of the princess of Yanqing.
Li Zhang and Ling Yi did not touch the treasures in the tomb much, but asked people to carefully search for hidden organs, count things and register them, and everyone who entered and left the ancient tomb had to be carefully searched to prevent entrainment, and officers and soldiers were sent to guard them strictly.
Xiao Yu sighed in his heart, fortunately, the anti-theft and mechanisms of this mausoleum are not very strict and exquisite, otherwise not to mention that the government would not have mastered such a big tomb so easily, even the three of them might have gone forever that day.
Hao Jun said: "That ancient tomb is full of hidden weapons, as well as poison, those who enter will die if they are not careful, and only one person out of ten will come out alive." Everyone said that there was something unclean in the tomb, and those people went in and ran into the ghosts and gods before they died. ”
Xiao Yucheng coughed a few times and said, "How can there be so many gods and ghosts." ”
Hao Jun also agreed: "That's right." ”
"What the hell is the grave robber?" Xiao Yu reminded that talking about it would lead to the danger of the ancient tomb.
"The mausoleum was stolen the night before, and yesterday morning the officers and soldiers went to change guards as usual, but they found that the corpses were strewn all over Niujiao Mountain, and none of the soldiers guarding the tomb were spared." Xiao Yucheng said in a relaxed tone.
Xiao Yu was shocked.
So many people died!
"It was because those officers and soldiers were bleeding, their faces were frightened, and their deaths were extremely terrible, that everyone was frightened and said that they were haunted." Hao Jun added next to him.
Xiao Yu shuddered when he thought of the gloom of the ancient tomb.
Xiao Yucheng glanced at Hao Jun dissatisfied, and then said: "Ah Yu, don't be afraid, later sent someone to General Ling to send someone to examine the corpse, it was all caused by poisoning, and there were no ghosts and monsters."
Xiao Yu nodded: "Based on this, you can identify yourself as a person from the poison sect?" ”
"The main thing is that the poison is more special." Xiao Yucheng nodded and said, "Of course, there are some other clues." ”
"What was stolen?"
Hao Jun said: "Almost everything in the tomb has been carried away!" ”
Xiao Yu was puzzled: "The people of the Poison Gate came to rob the tomb in such a big battle, could it be that the things inside were really so precious?" ”
"It is said that there is a clue to the treasure house of the Martial King." Xiao Yu became enlightened.
Xiao Yu frowned when he thought of the jade pendant. Could it be that the jade pendant has something to do with the Martial King's treasury? Then she and Xiao Yucheng are afraid that they will not be able to get rid of each other, so they have to find a way to remind him. If this is the case, the people of the poison gate will also be busy in vain, because they have been taken first by Hua Yue.
"There are so many burial goods in the tomb, and there is a lot of movement when they are all removed. How's the government going on tracking? Xiao Yu asked.
Hao Jun replied: "It's not very clear, but the turtle grandson of the poison gate has always been cunning, and his actions rarely leave any obvious traces, these are all fish that have slipped through the net, and they are unsightly, and they are even pretending to be ghosts, and they have handled the head and tail very cleanly, and there are no eyebrows yet." ”
"And because of the flash floods, the nearby villages were affected, and there were not many people." Xiao Yucheng added, "Plus it rained again the night before. ”
Xiao Yuqi said: "Aren't there many people who are eyeing this ancient tomb and wandering around? No one saw it? ”
Xiao Yucheng shook his head and said: "The government also caught some people who were squatting beside Niujiao Mountain, but everyone said that they fell asleep inexplicably at that time, and they didn't see what happened. ”
It's probably some kind of powerful drug. Xiao Yu asked again: "Who is investigating this matter now?" The General's Mansion or the King of Jingnan County? ”
The two have coordinated jurisdiction over the region.
"Originally, it was supposed to be in charge of the county king's mansion, but now it is pushed to the general to investigate and solve the case. For the past two days, Yucheng and I have been tracking along the route where the bandits may have fled, but this morning, someone from the county king's mansion insisted on stepping in, and the general asked the two of us to come back and rest first. Hao Jun's words were uneven.
"Didn't find it?" Xiao Yu asked.
Xiao Yucheng said: "For the time being, I will go again in the afternoon." ”
Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Then you two should be careful." ”
After Hao Jun and Xiao Yucheng left, Xiao Yu went back to continue developing poisons/drugs, but he was a little uneasy in his heart, and he always made mistakes, so he simply put down and went back to his room for a nap.
As it approached evening, news came from the General's Mansion that Xiao Yucheng was injured and carried back by the officers and soldiers.
Xiao Yu and Xiao Pei dropped the dishes and chopsticks when they heard the news and immediately rushed over.
I saw Xiao Yucheng lying on the bed with a pale face, unconscious, with several arrow wounds and knife wounds on his body, which had been bandaged properly. But Xiao Yu saw at a glance that the seriousness was that he was highly poisoned.
The military doctor in Ling Yi's camp also said: "His injury is not serious, but the poison is violent, fortunately, the playboy has detoxified it in time, and he will wake up in another hour or two, and then he will be able to recuperate, and he should be able to recover in half a month." ”
Xiao Pei was distressed and very grateful to Hua Yue. She had heard that playboys rarely healed people.
Xiao Yu couldn't be completely relieved in the end, so he checked it again, confirmed what the military doctor said, and comforted Xiao Pei: "Yucheng can recover after a few more days of recuperation, and Sister doesn't have to worry too much." ”
The two sisters proposed to Ling Yi to let Xiao Yucheng go home to recuperate from his injuries so that he could take care of them. Ling Yi naturally agreed, and sent a carriage to send a few people back together.
Xiao Yucheng woke up that night, Xiao Yu gave him acupuncture again, and his spirit was much better the next day.
Qin Guangyu knew that he came to visit with gifts and comforted the two sisters. Then Uncle Zhou's family also came. Two days later, Hao Jun took advantage of Xiu Mu to visit. He was also injured, but it was relatively minor, so he still followed Ling Yi as usual.
Xiao Yu decocted the decoction and sent it to Xiao Yucheng, and the three of them talked about what happened.
Ling Yi used a special medicinal powder to track down the traces of the bandits, but when the traces reached the border between Qinghe County and Qingyuan County, they disappeared. After careful searching, the officers and soldiers finally found clues, chased all the way to the depths of the mountain, and found their den.
Now that he had discovered the whereabouts of the tomb robbers, Ling Yi got the news and immediately sent a large number of officers and soldiers to sneak around the cottage and suddenly attacked. The bandits were prepared, and a vicious fight broke out between the two sides.
Because the other party is good at using all kinds of poisons/drugs, although the soldiers under Ling Yi's command have dealt with it, they still suffered heavy losses before they captured the cottage and wiped out most of the thieves.
But the harvest is not small, and I also got a silk book with strange words.
