Shen Ju was not an indecisive person, let alone a Qingliu civil official who had never smelled blood. A person in a high position like him can decide the life and death of a person or even a group of people with a few strokes; He can accept the sacrifice of others, and he can accept that some people are willing to sacrifice themselves, but that does not mean that he will become numb to such things, nor does it mean that he will ignore the weight of life.

And the new director of Di Ting, after hearing his question, also nodded, and said in a calm tone:

"As far as we can tell, that's roughly the case at the time."

"What about your people?"

"Lord Shen, wait a minute, I'll go in and ask about the specific situation......"

The new director of Di Tingting went quickly, and the one who came back was also quick. He carried two broken jade plate fragments in his hand, and said to Shen Ju with some interest:

"It's a pity, a semi-finished product is a semi-finished product. Our people are dead, and this is the jade plaque they carry with them; As for the thief who came to rob the prisoner, he left half an arm, but he was not sure that he had been blown to shreds, or he escaped with his life; But you don't need to be too anxious, you have already sent someone to pursue it......"

"To set up an ambush with two lives, is it ...... Are you all crazy? ”

Shen Ju looked at the two broken jade plates and muttered to himself in disbelief; The director shrugged his shoulders and said in a familiar tone:

"Lord Shen was born in a famous family since he was a child, so he naturally doesn't know the weight of silver, and he doesn't understand the truth that there must be a brave man under the heavy reward......"

"! Do you dare to say that both of them were sent to death voluntarily? ”

The other party looked at Shen Ju, who was righteously reprimanding him, and said indifferently:

"Voluntary, of course! And this answer doesn't really matter. ”

Important, of course important! For Shen Ju, this kind of thing can happen in any corner of the Huayu Continent, but only Nankang can't! The new Nankang, which he has fought for for half his life, should never be like this; In his ideal peaceful and prosperous world, there should never be such outlaws!

Shen Ju looked at the other party's only exposed eyes, feeling the cold and indifferent gaze, and only felt cold all over! This "Diting Chamber of Commerce", which supports half of Nankang, still hides what kind of unknown secrets?

The height of the temple and the distance of the rivers and lakes are probably the crux of Shen Ju.

Let's put Shen Ju aside, just talk about the thief who left an arm - Qin Qiu and Qin Zigui.

When he touched the main house in the backyard of the mansion, he "lifted the tile and opened the window" and looked into the house: he saw an obese middle-aged man lying on his side on the bamboo bed in the corner in the west bedroom; And on the beautiful carved vermilion lacquer bed next to the wall, there was also a white-haired old woman, sleeping soundly with her back to the outside.

Qin Qiu is a top thief who travels thousands of households, he saw that "Lin Siwei" was sleeping soundly on the bed, and he did not rush into the house to rob people; Instead, he took out a large bamboo tube from his waist bag, removed the lid, and released a large gray mouse with a blade tied to its tail!

The secret room treasure troves of various families in the Huayu Continent have never lacked traps laid by the skilled craftsmen of the predecessors; In the face of this unknown danger, even the experienced Snitch with the best body skills does not dare to guarantee that he will be able to escape with his whole body. And Qin Qiu's stunt of "releasing rats" is also the predecessor of Xiaoqimen, which evolved from the hands of his peers who "eat stinky (tomb robbers)".

Since most of the traps in Huayu Continent are derived from Qin Mo's relics, the trigger method is also relatively fixed. Most of the hidden mechanisms of the rich and noble houses are triggered by leads; As for the handiwork of the spring mechanism, most of them are hidden in the tombs.

Despite its infinite power, there is also a very obvious flaw, and that is the problem of maintenance. Animal tendons and hemp ropes may gradually lose their tensile force, and the metal parts of the spring will rust and age; Therefore, the mechanisms hidden in the tombs are often no longer effective due to age and lack of maintenance; As for the institutions hidden in the nobles' homes, most of them are maintained by special personnel, so there is no luck at all.

Due to the different nature of the work, Xiao Qimen picked up the classical craft of "letting birds and burrowing" and improved the method of "releasing rats": they would buy back some trained cooked mice from the hands of the "sweaters" who sold rat poison, tie the blade to the rat's tail, and poison them with special powder to avoid alarming the family. When needed, they are placed in the secret room. Trained mature mice, when they are in an unfamiliar environment, will subconsciously repeatedly inspect the surrounding terrain. After three or two turns, those lead-type traps will be triggered by the blade tied to the rat's tail to avoid injuring itself.

This craft does not seem difficult, but it is not easy to play it thoroughly. And Qin Qiu, the mouse, is an old partner with tacit understanding; It didn't take long for the whole room to be quietly turned around......

Nothing was a problem.

Qin Qiu'er heard the noise outside the wall gradually lowered, and he couldn't care about looking left and right anymore; He threw himself down to the house, and put his feet upside down on the eaves, making a pearl inverted roller blind! Then, with the strength of his waist shaking, he reached forward with both hands and gently pushed open the door of the main hall.

Qin Qiu hung on the eaves and waited for three breaths, seeing that there was nothing abnormal in the house, and the waist pole fought out of thin air, like a loach, almost above the door frame, and his feet didn't even touch the ground, so he climbed on the beam in the house out of thin air!

Just this ability to keep his hands and feet on the ground, plus the fact that there was no sound during the whole process, he deserves to be the head of the hundred birds Qin Qiu Qin Zigui!

After Qin Qiu quietly climbed the beam in the house, he didn't stop for even a moment; He used all fours, like a spider, clinging to the beam, and after a few exertions, he slid past the upper threshold and quietly sneaked into the west bedroom.

Qin Qiu entered the west bedroom without touching the ground and clinged to the beams of the room. He first took a closer look at the fat old man lying on the bamboo bed on his side, and found nothing abnormal; Then he knocked on the top of the carved bed with his feet again, like a bat, and hung down in front of Lin Siwei's bed:

"Two shamans?"

Before he made an inquiry, Qin Qiu was fully prepared. His whole body twisted, like a big flag fluttering in the wind, hanging in the air; There is only one right arm, which is rigidly tugging on the edge of the bed to borrow strength, in case something happens......

However, after this "second shaman" exited, there was only a slight "rustle" waiting for him, and the increasingly rapid breathing rate of "Lin Siwei"; Qin Qiu's heart was a little hairy, and he just wanted to jump on the head of the bed, reaching out and turning over the other party's body to see the situation; Unexpectedly, the other party turned around by himself, revealing a thin face with deep sunken eye sockets and sunken cheeks, which looked like a skeleton covered with a layer of human skin, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a human or a ghost!

There was no need to look more carefully, Qin Qiu also knew that this person was definitely not Lin Siyou, and at the same time, he also understood that he had fallen into the enemy's trick to lure the enemy.

With top-level crisis handling experience, Qin Qiu's right arm immediately pushed in the opposite direction, and the whole person "retreated" towards the door lightly......

However, two hysterical crazy laughter "sandwiched" him in mid-air......

"Ahh......h Rumble! ”

The crazy and poignant laughter had not yet fallen, and Qin Qiu, who had just pushed himself away from the big bed, only to feel a golden light flashing in front of him, and at the same time, there was a huge force behind him! Under the back and forth squeezing of the two forces, he only felt that his body was light, and he lost all his ability to control.

Although Qin Qiu is very skilled, he is not the golden-bodied Arhat of Nanquan Zen Buddhism after all! And because of the exercises of the small silk gate, it is also mainly based on light body lifting; When it comes to the toughness of the body, it is even slightly inferior to ordinary people!

However, fortunately, people are in a state of extreme excitement and do not feel physical pain at all. Qin Qiu, who flew out of the main hall, was like a carp jumping on the embankment, and just slapped on the ground when a fierce man jumped up; He knew that immediately after this loud noise, the ambushers would come to collect their prey; So he didn't dare to stop for a moment, jumped directly from the door to the roof, and quickly climbed over the back wall of the mansion and fled out of the city.

The "good habits" that have been cultivated since childhood, even in the moment of life and death, will never be forgotten.

Of course, the right arm, which was closest to the carved bed, was also left in the bedroom......

Qin Qiu's experience in escaping was extremely rich, and at such an urgent juncture, he still didn't leave too long a bloodstain. As he fled, he kept collecting clothes that the people had not had time to collect, as well as the banners that hung in front of the shops. And with these things, they pressed the bleeding wounds to death. As soon as he ran, he ran more than ten miles away; Running straight under the outer walls of a temple in the outer city, he finally stopped......

It's not that he thinks it's safe, it's that he can't move his legs.

Qin Qiu, whose face was as pale as paper, reluctantly threw the rolls of cloth piers soaked in blood into the water of the Yanlin Grand Canal; Then he stumbled backwards and slammed against the shadow wall of the temple.

At this time, Qin Qiu's entire right arm was still broken off at the shoulder; The chest and lower abdomen are also penetrated by the "dirty" such as iron sand and broken porcelain pieces hidden in the "thunder"; If he hadn't gritted his teeth and plugged the wound with clothes and fabrics on the way to escape, I'm afraid that such a long run would have ended up in a "tumbling belly".

In summer, the sky will always brighten up earlier. It's only three minutes now, but the eastern horizon is already a little white.

Qin Qiu, who was extremely injured, leaned against the shadow wall in a gloomy manner. He didn't feel pain or discomfort, but felt that his body was lighter than ever, mixed with a feeling of weakness like hunger to the extreme. Completely different from what the world has described, Qin Qiu's feeling of imminent death is not half chaotic and gloomy, but rather light and happy like never before. He stared at the blue light in the sky with his eyes, listened to the chirping of birds in his ears, and felt that even the last bit of weight in his body began to rise with the wind......

"Buzz!"

A simple and heavy bell rang, and the monks of Hanshan Temple were ready to welcome the morning homework of the new day......
