Although he is also a member of the Lonely Roaring Heights, Bai Ya has another layer of identity, commanding the entire Houtang intelligence system. It's just that he has lived in seclusion all these years, and he has not shown his face, but secretly passed on information to Lonely Roaring Heights, which has not attracted much attention.

And this matter, except for a few people in Lonely Roaring Heights, the others naturally don't know about it, and they can't know it. At this time, the situation of Lone Whistling Villa was unknown, and she also escaped from Luoyang, because she was in a hurry, she really didn't have time to hand it over, so she could only take one step at a time and then talk about it.

I didn't expect that in such an inconspicuous place, it was a bit unexpected to be recognized. Since he could hear the truth that was closest to the truth, he naturally didn't have the reason to continue to guess, so he let the shopkeeper Qin tell the truth.

Although the shopkeeper Qin cut off contact with Luoyang, he didn't expect that there was a mess, but he still went according to the rules. It was only the overturning of Chengde Town overnight not long ago that he was alert. At this time, I saw the landlord and naturally wanted to seek some shelter.

Shopkeeper Qin didn't hesitate, and said truthfully: "Yixian County has been peaceful all these years, and it is because of the credit of the county lieutenant that I was saved from the war. But every year around the Mid-Autumn Festival, the county governor will take us to a sinkhole more than ten miles away, saying that it is to pay tribute to the souls of the dead in exchange for peace. ”

Bai Ya nodded indifferently and motioned for Shopkeeper Qin to continue.

Shopkeeper Qin sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "Because this matter has always existed, there is nothing peculiar, we go every year, and we only watch it from a distance outside the sinkhole, and the county lieutenant enters alone, and he does not let me wait to follow, so it is regarded as a custom and is not written in the detailed report." ”

"Then this county lieutenant, every time you go to the sinkhole, what preparations do you have? Or what has changed? Bai Li pondered the possible details so that the truth hidden in the depths could come to the surface.

Shopkeeper Qin did not answer in a hurry, but began to think about it for a long time. It seems that because I'm a little older, my memory is not very good. Suddenly, Shopkeeper Qin patted his head, took out a booklet from his arms, and handed it to Bai Li, "Landlord, here is the detailed experience of going to Tiankeng every year that I recorded, you can check it out." ”

Bai Li took the booklet and asked casually, "Why do you want to record it, and it is so detailed?" ”

Shopkeeper Qin smiled embarrassedly when he heard this, "Although it is not important information, the contemptible people are involved in folk customs and teaching, and they are curious." This kind of worship of the unknown has never been experienced. In addition, every time the county lieutenant can bring out a few glowing stones from the cave and cut them into small pieces and give them to us, I am particularly curious about that sinkhole. ”

Bai Li flipped through the pamphlet casually and asked casually, "Then aren't you curious about what's in the sinkhole?" ”

"How can I not be curious, when I first came to Yixian, I heard people talk about it, and I thought about it. But when I arrived, I found that the place was heavily guarded, and only around the Mid-Autumn Festival every year would it be a little lax. I'm ashamed to say that after all these years of coming here, I haven't had the opportunity to find out. Shopkeeper Qin said with some embarrassment.

"Has anything strange happened here over the years?" Bai Ya's question naturally meant something.

"Everything is normal, but since the county lieutenant's daughter got along with the scholar, a strange thing happened. It is rumored that the scholar did not go to Chengde Town to be killed, but was taken to the sinkhole by the county lieutenant and never came out again. Shopkeeper Qin said mysteriously, still trembling.

Bai Li's reactionary pamphlet's hand paused slightly, but then continued to ask, "Then you still respect him so much?" Could it be that there is something else going on? ”

Hearing this, the shopkeeper Qin immediately shook his head, "This is not true, after the accident, the county lieutenant asked people to block the sinkhole, saying that there was chaos in Chengde Town this year, and let everyone go and don't go near the sinkhole." ”

"There are no three hundred taels ......of silver here," Bai Ya smiled contemptuously, and then said: "You go down first, if there is any other news, report it in time." ”

Shopkeeper Qin clasped his fists and saluted, and retreated. But not long after he walked out, he saw that the shopkeeper was looking not far away, and hurriedly raised his voice and shouted, "Is it okay to be idle?" Why don't you give you a few sticks? ”

The shopkeeper was a little displeased when he heard this, but he didn't show it, he just said "don't dare" and quickly withdrew downstairs. Shopkeeper Qin didn't think much about it, and quickly followed.

But Bai Ya in the room was in a sinking situation, and said to himself: "This county lieutenant of Yixian County, I'm afraid it's not so simple." ”

…………

However, it was said that Gu Xing, Chen Fusheng and others followed the county lieutenant to the county lieutenant's mansion in a carriage, and they talked happily along the way. Chen Fusheng took out the doubts in the heart of the county lieutenant in a few words, and made everyone's previous guesses a little right.

But the county lieutenant still had doubts about whether Gu Xing was rich, and he was asking Gu Xing's family background, where his parents were, and whether he was sincere about getting rich, which made Gu Xing very annoyed. But these questions were taken over by Chen Fusheng one by one, and Gu Xing didn't say a word from beginning to end, but smiled bitterly.

The county lieutenant was extremely satisfied with Gu Xing, and his eyes were more focused on Gu Xing, and he seemed to have regarded him as the best choice for his son-in-law. Gu Xing was worried in his heart, and looked at Chen Fusheng from time to time. The latter just smiled softly and nodded, but he turned a deaf ear to Gu Xing's situation at this time.

The carriage stopped after about half an hour, and when they lifted the curtain, they saw the panting Ma Erye following behind, which couldn't help but be a little funny. When a few people came to the outside of the county governor's mansion, they saw that there was no luxurious decoration here, but it was no different from ordinary people.

Except for the three big characters hanging in the middle, "County Governor's Mansion", there is nothing special about anything else.

Hearing the sound of the carriage, an old man in plain clothes pushed the door out, stood respectfully aside, and said softly: "Madame has been waiting in the side hall for a long time. ”

The county lieutenant's left hand subconsciously touched the gold painting on his sleeve, then nodded, turned to everyone and said, "Everyone, please go with you." ”

Gu Xing gestured to please, and the county lieutenant walked inside the door and walked towards another place.

When everyone walked in, the old man in plain clothes was about to close the door, but he was blocked by Ma Erye, only to hear him pant and say: "And me, and me." The old man in plain clothes obviously showed displeasure on his face, but he didn't stop him, but turned sideways and made a way for Ma Erye to walk in.

Only at this time did the old man in plain clothes slowly close the door, as long as he was indifferent and lonely in his eyes. I don't know if it's because I'm worried about Miss, or because of the loneliness of so many years, he has become what he is today.

Waiting for the old man in plain clothes to lead Ma Erye to the side hall, Gu Xing and the others were already seated, talking with the county lieutenant and the county lieutenant's wife, their words were dignified, and they seemed to be talking about the county lieutenant's daughter being in a coma.

Chen Fusheng did not take the lead in speaking, but listened quietly on the side, occasionally nodding his head thoughtfully.

When the county lieutenant's wife said that her daughter was unconscious, the tears could not contain it, causing the county lieutenant to apologize repeatedly, and said that the lady cherished her daughter, and you should not be surprised.

Chen Fusheng asked at this juncture: "How long has you been in a coma, can you tell me?" The county lieutenant sighed lightly, "It's not a secret, my daughter has been in a coma for half a year, and she can barely protect her heart by using the pill prescribed by Lang Zhong. ”

Chen Fusheng didn't seem to have the intention of stopping, took a sip of tea, and continued: "Is there a cure in that Langzhong? ”

Hearing Chen Fusheng's question, the county lieutenant's wife couldn't hold back her tears, and said with a sob: "I have searched all the famous doctors in Yixian County and the surrounding areas, but they are all difficult to treat. Please also ask Mr. to save the little girl, if you can revive the little girl, there will be a lot of gratitude. ”

Chen Fusheng pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then asked: "Is there a famous doctor who is looking for Chengde Town, I heard that Zhang Laogui in Chengde Town is extremely biased in medicine, maybe he can find another way to cure the disease." ”

When Chen Fusheng deliberately said Chengde Town, the county lieutenant and his wife both had a strange flush on their faces, as if they were hiding some information.

The county lieutenant did not answer immediately, but glanced meaningfully at the old man in plain clothes, who had been silent, and the latter immediately retreated and closed the hall door. Chen Fusheng saw the county lieutenant make a move, and then asked with a smile: "But what is the unspeakable secret?" ”

"Not really, hasn't Mr. heard about the strange things in Chengde Town all the way?" The county lieutenant lowered his voice, as if he didn't want anyone outside to hear it.

"I haven't heard of it, but I just chatted with Second Master Ma for a few words, and talked about the fact that all Chengde Town died overnight, and I felt a little chilly." Chen Fusheng said it lightly, but Second Master Ma nodded again and again, as if he was echoing his words.

Although Gu Xing didn't know what Chen Fusheng wanted to dig out, he listened patiently, wanting to dig out the flaws from a few people's mouths.

But after hearing Chen Fusheng's words, the expressions of the county lieutenant and his wife eased significantly, which was completely different from the expressions just now, and seemed to have a sense of "fortunately so".

The county lieutenant was no longer entangled, but said calmly: "Since the accident in Chengde Town, we have never heard the news from that place, and naturally we can't find this miracle doctor." But now that it has come to you, the little girl's illness should be saved. ”

When the county lieutenant said this, he couldn't help but be excited, and glanced at Gu Xing, as if there was a hint of it. The county lieutenant's wife looked at Gu Xing with a bright face, her face was happy, and she said in a loud voice: "Without further ado, please ask Gu Gongzi to take a look at the little girl." ”

When Chen Fusheng heard this, he also echoed and persuaded him: "Brother Gu will go with his wife first, and we will discuss the time to open the altar here." ”

Although Gu Xing was a little helpless, he still got up and hugged his fists, "Please lead the way, Mrs." As he spoke, he didn't forget to glance at Chen Fusheng. Chen Fusheng turned a deaf ear and continued to talk with the county lieutenant. Gu Xing followed behind Mrs. County Lieutenant, and wondered in her heart, "Mrs. County Lieutenant is so urgent, is it really that her daughter is terminally ill?" ”

When he came to a door, he asked about the foul smell coming from inside. The county lieutenant's wife didn't care in the slightest, pushed the door in, and asked Gu Xing to come in quickly. When Gu Xing walked in, he was suddenly shocked by what he saw.

I saw a woman wrapped in black veil, surrounded by foul-smelling muddy water, I don't know what it does. The county lieutenant's wife whimpered when she saw it, "Please take a look at the little brother and see if my daughter is still saved." ”

Gu Xing's heart had sunk to the bottom at this time, and he said to the county lieutenant's wife: "Madame goes out first, I have my own measure." ”

The county lieutenant's wife didn't seem to have any intention of staying, turned around and walked towards the door, but when the door was closed, she kept looking inside, as if she was peeping at Gu Xing to heal her illness. Gu Xing didn't know it, and walked towards the woman wrapped in black yarn......
