Chapter 14: Shock
The carriage drove on the mountain road, and Shui Qingxiang and Yoo Young-yi sat in the carriage discussing the case.
Suddenly, Shui Qingxiang remembered that the innkeeper in Yulan County, the gossip was too strong, and seeing that Liu Yingyi was in a good mood, she had the courage to ask: "Lord Liu, that Ning Wuze is very familiar with adults?" ”
"He and I used to worship under the same teacher, but he studied physique, and I learned strategy." Liu Yingyi said lightly.
Unexpectedly, the rough-looking Ning Wuze was actually Lord Liu's fellow senior brother, and the two of them were too far apart in terms of image and temperament, not to mention that it was really unbelievable.
I always felt that the sloppy man was not as simple as it seemed on the outside, Shui Qingxiang thought that Lord Liu must have another purpose for calling him to Dongzi County this time, but he was not good at asking too carefully as an outsider.
"Lord Liu, I have a guess whether the dead in Dongzi County are the thieves who robbed the glass lock of Qianmo back then. And the current murderer is also one of the insiders of the year, Qianmo glass lock was divided into seven parts, and it has not been put together completely, and the murderer and the deceased may have a piece in their hands. My lord, have you searched the homes of some of the deceased? After reading a large number of dossiers, Shui Qingxiang came to a bold conclusion.
Unexpectedly, when Liu Yingyi heard this, her expression was indifferent, "I have already sent people to search every deceased's house, and there is no trace of gold." ”
Shui Qingxiang was stunned in her heart, but she didn't expect Liu Yingyi to have a guess a long time ago, presumably he had such an idea before he set off for Yulan County. It's just that since he has an idea in his heart, why does he have to bring himself with him.
"My lord, when we return to Dongzi County, will I be able to become a catcher?" Shui Qingxiang felt very happy at the thought of being able to do her job when she went back.
"There is no precedent for a woman to be an official in my country, but if you can help me solve this case, there may be other ways."
"My lord, did the Cloud Dao Master send someone to heal? I think we can look for a breakthrough in him and see if we can find a clue to the gold artifact. ”
"I think so, too."
It didn't take long for the carriage to come to Dongzi County and stop at the county government of Dongzi County.
A few catchers in the yamen saw that the carriage of the county magistrate was coming, and hurried to meet it.
Liu Yingyi stepped out of the carriage and looked over everyone: "Hasn't Qin Zhutou come yet?" ”
A young catcher responded: "No, Qin Zhutou hasn't been to the yamen for several days, and he can't find anyone at home." My lord, in the past two days of your absence, something big has happened in the yamen! ”
Liu Yingyi's footsteps froze, and she asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”
"That crazy man...... Run! ”
……
At this moment, the person who was called the head of the crazy road by the people in the county government was sitting at someone else's house drinking tea with a happy expression.
In the dark and damp room, an old man with short stature and gray hair was holding a teapot to make tea, although his face was full of wrinkles, his eyes were bright and energetic, which was different from the usual humble and cowardly appearance with his back bent.
It was the old man Yan, the owner of the tofu shop in the town.
"We've been in this town for so many years, and we've finally waited for this day. Most of the previous obstacles are clear, just your last step, and everything is done. Yundao people squinted slightly, looking like a bamboo in their chests.
Old man Yan also showed a smug expression, "The Qianmo glass lock is priceless, but if you separate it, it is a tyrannical thing, and only the people of the Lin family have a way to put these seven things together." ”
"Brother Yan is really resourceful, we couldn't pry open their mouths when we destroyed the Lin family, I can't imagine that in the end, you still thought of a way, for my brother back then, he still said that you were a woman." Yun Daoist's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he said with relish.
"At the beginning, I just wanted to give it a try, but I didn't expect it to be tried. Now that four of the seven gold artifacts have been made, and three pieces are still missing, Brother Yun, can you cut your love? Old man Yan looked at the other party with a sly gaze, and his words were a little expectant.
Yun Dao Chang paused for a moment, was silent for a moment, and then asked, "When can you do it at the latest?" ”
"You can do it tonight."
"You let me see the mother and son first, and then I'll give you the things."
Old man Yan said nonchalantly: "What's so difficult about this, if you want to see it tonight, I'll let you see it, everything has been planned, and when the time comes, it's a big deal to push this stupid catcher out as a substitute for the dead ghost." ”
After speaking, the eyes of the two of them looked at Qin Zhutou who was sleeping in the corner at the same time.
In the middle of the night, there was silence.
A thin figure carrying a lantern wandered on the road on the outskirts of Dongzi County like a ghost at midnight, and the candle flame in the lantern flickered and flickered, like a ghost fire shining on the person carrying the lantern.
Dressed in a blue-gray Taoist robe, with gray hair and a pale face, it was the Yundao people who ran out of the Yamen Prison.
He walked lightly, and walked on the stone steps in the suburbs without making a sound, as if he was afraid of alarming the others.
When he walked to an open grass in the suburbs, he stopped, looked into the depths of the darkness, put his hand to his mouth and blew a whistle, and said to the depths of the darkness: "Brother Yan, did you bring it?" ”
No one answered in the night, as if he were the only one in the silent suburbs.
"Brother Yan, I just want to see the two of them, I don't want to keep things for myself, what do you have to hide?" Old man Yan's voice was not loud, but there was a sense of urgency in his tone.
However, no one answered in the darkness.
In the dark and silent night, I could only feel the eerie wind blowing, as if the Yundao people were the only ones in this lonely suburb in this dark night.
Yun Dao Chang was a little uncomfortable, he had already told Old Man Yan that he would meet the two key people who would succeed at night at night. Although he had heard Old Man Yan mention it before, the Cloud Dao Chief, who was doing things safely, had to meet that person to be sure.
Originally, he told Old Man Yan that he would go out first to prepare, and after dark, he asked him to wait in the suburbs, but he didn't see a trace when he waited, could it be ......
Yun Dao Chang walked unwillingly towards the depths of darkness, and suddenly, a strange wind blew through, blowing out the candle flame in the lantern.
An inexplicable sense of fear swept over his body, and he felt something flicker above his head, and when he looked up, a huge black image smashed down from his head like a huge net.
"Poof-", before Yun Dao Chang could react, a boulder fell down heavily, and in an instant, the people under the boulder were smashed into mud.
The wind was cool and whizzing, and there was no sound around.
After a while, a thin old man came over, looked at the dead corpse and muttered, "Wrong." Retribution will come sooner or later, I'm just letting it come a little sooner. ”
After speaking, he touched something from Yun Daochang's body.
