() Unfortunately, all eyes were on the big fish at that time. The sudden abnormality of the tattoo girl has never been seen.

"Good guys, it's scary." Rong Xi looked at it again and again.

"You don't know, this thing is scary in the water, and it's rough and thick-skinned. If it hadn't been seriously injured by the eldest prince's sword first, I'm afraid that none of us would have been able to help it. ”

Jun Qinglan's gaze never left the big fish on the ground, and finally landed on its head. The head of the fish was also many times larger than that of a normal fish, and it was also covered with scars.

But the scars on its head are different from the rest, showing regular vertical lines, each the thickness of an adult's thumb.

Jun Qinglan suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and looked up at Tang Ying: "Where did you capture it?" ”

"It's kind of weird to say." Tang Ying rubbed his hands and said, "If you don't ask, you are ready to say it." ”

"The fish was badly wounded, but did not fight, but fled all the way. Originally, if it was bent on diving into the bottom of the river, maybe we would have given up, even if the brothers were in the water, they couldn't compare to the fish, not to mention that the depth of the water changed a lot, and the more they went down, the more bad it was for everyone. However, the strange thing is that when the fish fled, it did not go to the bottom of the river, but swam frantically towards the bank of the river. So where can we give up? ”

Jun Qinglan squinted, this was really strange. Could it be that Big Fish was stupidly scared by such people? Is this an escape, and you actually go to the shore in a panic?

Isn't that looking for death?

"At first we thought the fish was crazy, so we rushed to the shore to die. As a result, and guess what? ”

Jun Qinglan silently glanced at Tang Ying, whose eyebrows were fluttering, and half-lowered her eyes. This person has done a few errands with Jiang Yufan, and he has never learned how good things are, but he has learned his exaggerated words in shock.

"It turns out that there is a hidden passage on the bank of the river. The tunnel was two feet square, and the edges were sealed with extremely thick iron bars. The fish seemed to want to rush into the dark passage, and he didn't care about the iron bar at the entrance of the dark passage, so he just blindly hit it vigorously, didn't this knock out so many scars on his head? To say that the iron bar blocking the dark passage is really strong, it has been hit by the big fish for so long, and it is only slightly bent. If it weren't for the fact that the fish was hit by an iron bar and unloaded most of its strength, it probably wouldn't have been so easy for us to kill. ”

Secret passages? Bars?

Jun Qing's blue eyes shrank fiercely, and he suddenly looked at Li Congyao. But seeing that the man like the flower of the kaolin also looked at him at the same moment, his head was almost invisible and nodded, and Jun Qinglan's eyes became solemn.

"Where is the secret passage, can you still find it?"

"Of course." Tang Ying nodded: "I looked at the strange secret passage, so I paid attention to it and marked it in the dark, and it was not difficult to find it." ”

Jun Qinglan took a breath: "Take me over, I want to take a look." ”

"You don't have to go, leave this matter to Tang Ying." Li Congyao opened his mouth without warning, but he refused Jun Qinglan's request without hesitation.

"Yes." Tang Ying said in response.

"This matter needs to be taken seriously." Jun Qinglan said solemnly: "Don't be careless, and ...... Don't make any public announcements. ”

“…… Kindness? Jun Qinglan's attitude made Tang Ying a little surprised.

Not an authentic discovery by chance? Why is it so solemn all of a sudden?

"Groundwater in the state capital

You remember the things of the Tao. Jun Qinglan lowered her voice, and only the two of them could hear it.

Tang Ying's eyes lit up: "I understand my humble position!" ”

"You said that the secret passage is blocked by iron bars, and even the big fish can't break through it, is there a way to deal with it?"

"Of course." Tang Ying blinked: "No matter how strong the door is, there must be a lock, right?" As long as there is a door lock, there is a way to humble the position. ”

In the end, it is a snitch, and if you can't even deal with a door lock, it's really a bit embarrassing.

Jun Qinglan's lip line finally loosened for a moment: "It's hard." ”

"It's not hard." Tang Ying smiled and looked at the big fish on the ground, and swallowed his saliva with a gesture: "Such a big fish, fat and strong, when it is dragged back, I don't know how many meals I will have to eat." So I invited the two masters to reward the brothers for a beautiful meal. ”

"This fish is only afraid of ......." Jun Qinglan looked at the fish, and said with a deep groan: "I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it." ”

Tang Ying was stunned: "Why is this?" ”

"Although this fish is large, it looks like a pond lice fish. This fish is fishy and smelly, and mostly lives on swill, animal offal and carrion. Pond lice fish are tenacious and can survive in extremely dirty conditions, and even their excrement can be used as food to promote their growth. This kind of fish is really dirty. ”

Although Tang Ying was tired of listening to it, he didn't give up: "This fish was caught from the Jialu River, so it shouldn't be so picky." ”

"I don't know much about that." Jun Qinglan shrugged: "If you want to eat, just drag it back and eat it, I won't eat it anyway." ”

Tang Ying breathed a flicker, looked at the dark and slippery big fish underground, and finally just swallowed his saliva and quickly closed his eyes.

"Forget it, I don't lack this stutter."

At that end, the secret guard had already loaded the tattoo girl and the adulterer into the carriage, and the team rushed towards the city with joy. From beginning to end, Jun Qinglan never looked at Wen Niang again, and seemed to have completely forgotten that person.

Someone came to report that the adulterer suddenly had a high fever, and the tattooed girl kowtowed like pounding garlic and asked to see Jun Qinglan, Jun Qinglan only pretended not to know, and told the secret guard not to pay attention to it.

Li Congyao was half-leaning on the soft couch, his jade-colored skin still shining in the dim light of the carriage. The man's narrow phoenix eyes swept over Jun Qinglan, his expression was faint, and he was not half happy or angry.

"I deliberately saved people and came up, and just threw them away?"

Jun Qinglan pursed her lips, with a little urgency in her eyes: "That Wenniang is like a copper pea, it can't be steamed or cooked." It can only be dried in the sun, and when it is enough to dry, it will be broken when it is twisted. ”

Li Congyao looked at her for a long time before hooking the corner of his lips: "If she is really broken, I'm afraid you won't be very happy." ”

"Naturally, you can't tell her to really break." Jun Qinglan's eyes gradually deepened: "I look at Wen Niang's feelings for the adulterer named Jingchun, it seems to be very unusual. ”

She half-narrowed her eyes: "Every time I mention the adulterer, the tattoo girl's emotions are very excited, and even completely deviate from her original character." This is only the case when one is in the most extreme anger. ”

"But ......."

"Her performance like this, saying that it has nothing to do with Jingchun, is really unconvincing."

Wen Niang defends Jingchun everywhere, and can even give up her dignity for him. Isn't the relationship between these two people simple? However, now that Jingchun is in a coma, he can't get more favorable news from him, and the only breakthrough is only Wen Niang.

Since she cares so much about Jingchun,

I can't complain that others want to threaten her with Jingchun's life.

"You seem to have a lot to say about that fish."

Li Congyao's words made Jun Qinglan fall into deep thought again, she didn't reply immediately, and muttered for a long time before she spoke.

"The length of that fish is extremely rare, and I've only seen it once in my life. But its thickness was disproportionate to its length, and its many old scars ......"

Jun Qinglan's voice paused slightly, and she thought for a moment again.

"The old scars on its body were irregularly distributed in patches, and I thought of many artifacts that couldn't do that. Of course, it's not like you're in the water competing with other fish. On second thought, the scar must have been the result of repeated rubbing on a stone or something hard. ”

"There are scars from friction on his body, and his body is thin. It can only show that the living environment in which it lived before its death was limited and very narrow. So, I can probably conclude that the Jialu River is not where the pond lice grow. But I couldn't figure out where it grew until ....... ”

Li Congyao narrowed his eyes: "It was the iron bar found by Tang Ying that gave you the answer." ”

"Yes." Jun Qinglan nodded: "Whether it is a pond lice fish or a person, when you are almost desperate about dying, the first thing you think of is to return to your roots and return to the environment you are most familiar with. Therefore, at the end of the road, the place where the pond lice fish goes must be the place where it grows. ”

Manage the underground waterways of the state capital!

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Jun Qinglan wouldn't have thought of it. In the midst of the great project of benefiting the country and the people, such a monster was bred.

Pond lice fish like black and afraid of light, and their vitality is tenacious. In particular, it likes to feed on rotten, filthy and smelly things, and its body is thin and narrow, everything seems to be in line with the living environment of the underground waters.

But......

"The waterway goes deep into the ground, but it is meant to bring water from the Jialu River into the city for drinking. In any case, the water quality should always be kept clean and clean, and it will never reach the dirty environment required for the growth of pond lice fish. ”

Jun Qinglan nodded, what Li Congyao said just now was exactly what she couldn't figure out. Everything seems logical, but there are contradictions that cannot be ignored.

That's true of everything in the state capital. It seems that the truth is about to be revealed, but in fact, it is always confusing and contradictory.

"Everything I said is speculation, and in the end, Tang Ying needs to personally go to the underground waterways to reach a final conclusion."

On the evening of this day, Jing Chun's condition deteriorated again. This man was not only agitated by the icy river, but also frightened. Jun Qinglan didn't know where Jing Chun came from, but judging from his appearance, this person should not have suffered too much before, he should have been deeply stimulated by the immersion in the pig cage, and fell into his own nightmare, so he couldn't wake up.

The secret guards always remembered Jun Qinglan's orders, and threw the pair of men and women in the guest room and ignored them.

When Jingchun became ill, he first heard Wen Niang crying for a while, and then heard her slamming the door hard, asking to see Jun Qinglan. She was probably really anxious, and her crying was so hoarse that she could barely speak.

After a long time of this toss, Wen Niang's hope was like the sun in the sky, and as the sun set, it sank into darkness little by little.

Just as she was about to collapse and despair, the door was opened from the outside with a bang.

The slender and slender figure stands against the light. Wen Niang raised a pair of teary eyes and took a real look at the man's face. Seeing this, a flash of light quickly appeared in her eyes.
