Chapter 49: Wen Xiucai
(Ask for collection and recommendation)
The backyard of the fire temple has been emptied, five Zhao Jiayizi and more than a dozen officers and soldiers are wearing civilian clothes, three of them took out the spear, put gunpowder and lead pellets into the barrel in turn, compacted them with a drill, and then added gunpowder to the medicine room at the back, clamped the fire rope in the faucet, and carefully lit it.
There is only one step left, and the lead shot can be launched by deducting the plate machine.
The officer and soldier leaned against the door, the middle man standing, and the people on either side knelt on one leg.
Compared with the heavy artillery known as the "Great General", the power of the sharpshooter is much smaller, but it is still stronger than all swords, especially the momentum, except for the shooter, everyone else takes a few steps back, keeps a certain distance, and at the same time maintains awe.
Several other officers and soldiers showed their weapons and guarded various places to prevent the target from escaping, and Hu Guiqi, the sixteenth Lang, climbed to the roof with the help of a ladder to plug the weakest gap.
The net has been laid out, the old five Hu Gui nodded violently, the two officers and soldiers walked away, and soon brought a temple blessing.
Miaozhu was in his forties, with a sad face, and when he saw Hu Guimeng, he said: "My lord Mingjian, it's really not my ......."
"Call people out, and it's none of your business." Hu Gui pointed sharply to the room in front of him.
Miaozhu was a little relieved, but still explained: "He rented this house five days ago, saying that he was a talent who traveled to study, and he was generous with money...... I really didn't know that there was a secret room under the house, I think it was excavated from the former temple, but how did this person know? ”
Miaozhu chattered and chattered until an officer and soldier shook the knife in his hand, he shut up, walked slowly towards the room, and after a few steps, turned around and asked, "What should I say?" I found the secret room, he won't ...... Angry, right? ”
"You name it." Hu Guimeng did not answer the latter question.
Miao Zhu didn't dare to ask again, so he had to continue to move forward.
Hu Guiyang was regarded as a spectator, standing at the back, and asked in a low voice: "When did the fifth brother become friends with the Shenji Battalion?" ”
Sixteen Lang Hu Guijian said more quietly: "It's not the friendship of the fifth brother, it's sent by Dongchang." ”
Hu Guimeng took refuge in the East Factory on the surface, but in fact, he was secretly loyal to the West Factory, and he was able to curry favor with both sides, Hu Guiyang could only admire.
Miao Zhu walked into the room, opened the door, stomped his feet hard, and said loudly: "Wen Xiucai, you are not interesting enough, you found a secret room in the Fire God Temple, and you didn't tell us, please come out, let's talk." ”
There was no response in the room, Miao Zhu stomped a few more times and shouted a few times, but still did not get a response, so he had to walk to the door, look at the officers and soldiers outside, and ask for help.
An officer and soldier took a few steps forward and was about to speak, when Miaozhu suddenly rushed over, his face full of horror, his mouth wide open but unable to speak.
The officers and soldiers were also horrified, and they didn't care whether the other party should kill or not, and slashed with their knives.
"Don't ......," Miaozhu finally shouted.
A slender sword stretched out from under his armpit, striking the officer in the heart, and then the thin sword disappeared.
The officers and soldiers fell, and Miaozhu continued to run wildly, tripped by the officers and soldiers, shouting and screaming, but revealing the hider behind him.
Looking at the figure, this is the assassin of last night, tall and thin, wearing a wide gray robe, and indeed looks like a down-and-out talent.
He was not masked, revealing a square face like a knife and axe, with a long beard reaching to his chest, and his eyes were gloomy, "The lackeys of the court can find here, and they really have some ability." ”
With a bang, the officers and soldiers standing in the middle shot lead shots.
Wen Xiucai got up and fled to the roof.
Hu Guiqi, who had been guarding it for a long time, swung his knife to meet him, and wanted to catch the other party by surprise.
Wen Xiucai expected that there might be someone on the roof, but he didn't expect the knife to come so quickly, he recognized that this was last night's opponent, and with a wave of his right hand, the thin sword stabbed out again, and the last shot came first, forcing the interceptor to protect himself, and at the same time turned over and landed, intending to find the direction of the breakthrough again.
Boom, boom, boom, the officers and men kneeling on one leg fired almost simultaneously.
Wen Xiucai's feet touched the ground, and immediately jumped up, this time rushing towards the old Wu Hu Guimeng, he had already guessed that this person was the leader of the officers and soldiers, and wanted to capture the thief and capture the king first.
But no matter how fast he was, he couldn't get as fast as the lead shot from the spear, and it was a fluke to dodge it the first time, and it wasn't so good luck the second time.
Wen Xiucai fell from mid-air, the thin sword stretched out halfway, and immediately retracted into his hand.
"Hit!" The officers and soldiers shouted excitedly and rushed forward with their swords.
Someone ran faster than the officers and soldiers.
Hu Guiyang was ready early, and as soon as the gunshots rang out over there, he had already rushed over, but he arrived at Wen Xiucai's side one step ahead of the officers and soldiers standing in front, and immediately knelt down to check the situation, and shouted at the same time: "You are not allowed to use the knife, you must live." ”
It's easy to kill Wen Xiucai, but what Hu Guiyang wants is not a corpse, but the truth, when the officers and soldiers cast the spear, he can't command indiscriminately, but at this time, he has to keep his mouth alive as much as possible.
Wen Xiucai was lying on the ground, his body twisted, and a pool of blood slowly expanded under him.
"You are the escapee from Broken Teng Gorge, who is the priest surnamed Wen who was beheaded by the officers and soldiers back then?"
Wen Xiucai showed a smile, "You shouldn't still have memories, these things are said by the eunuch, right?" ”
"You still have accomplices, who are they?"
"That's right, I have accomplices." Wen Xiucai struggled to sit up, the officers and soldiers around him were on guard with knives, and the three officers and soldiers of the Shenji Battalion not far away were preparing to shoot again.
Thirteen Lang Hu Guijian shouted loudly behind him: "Watch out for his sword!" ”
Hu Guiyang didn't care, still staring at Wen Xiucai.
"I have hundreds of thousands of brothers and sisters, all waiting for me in the world above, and you, none of them can escape."
"In this world, what about your accomplices?"
Wen Xiucai smiled, then coughed twice, and blood oozed from his mouth, "You are my accomplice." ”
Hu Guiyang was stunned.
Wen Xiucai looked at the few people behind Hu Guiyang, "And you, you are all my accomplices, and the truth will only come after death!" ”
Hu Guimeng walked over and said coldly: "Take it back and torture it well, I want to live the truth." ”
Several officers and soldiers stepped forward to drag Wen Xiucai up.
Hu Guiyang wanted to ask again, but the thirteenth Lang Hu Guijian stepped forward and said, "Heal first, and then ask again." ”
"Where will he be sent?"
Old Wuhu Gui said fiercely: "Jinyi Wei Nansi." ”
The East and West factories were secretly competing, and Jinyiwei was relatively neutral, so Hu Guimeng wanted to send the prisoners there.
Wen Xiu had just stood up when something fell out of his sleeve.
Hu Guiyang was the closest, and immediately picked it up, it was a narrow wooden box, which had been hit by lead bullets, and damaged a corner, revealing the extremely complex structure inside, and the thick steel bars of the thumb rolled up in a ball could be faintly seen.
It turned out that this was a thin sword, and Wen Xiucai came out with a sword so quickly, all thanks to the help of the organ.
"Wait." Hu Guiyang stopped the officers and soldiers, stepped forward and lifted Wen Xiucai's sleeves, and quickly searched all over his body, but did not find anything like a wooden box.
"My receiver is not for you." Wen Xiucai sneered, and there was more blood at the corner of his mouth.
"All these years, you've been hiding and practicing the Heavenly Machine Technique, right?"
Hearing the words "Heavenly Machine Technique", Wen Xiucai's face changed slightly, "I knew that there was a traitor in the God Sacrifice Peak, but you only know the skin, the Heavenly Machine Technique is not just a box, there are more secret techniques......"
The officers and soldiers dragged Wen Xiucai away.
Hu Guiyang held the broken wooden box, "I'm going to go in and search it." ”
"There may be a mechanism inside, let someone else go in and take a look first." Hu Gui also persuaded.
Hu Guiyang glanced at it, and although the officers and soldiers around him did not squeak, it was obvious that no one was willing to be the first to enter the dangerous place.
Hu Guiyang didn't want others to go in first.
"I'll be careful, you don't have to go in yet." Hu Guiyang handed over the wooden box to the thirteenth brother Hu Guijian and stepped into the house by himself.
The room is not large, with a bed by the wall, a desk and a chair under the window, and the exit of the secret room is under the bed, half of which is exposed, and thin people can enter without moving the bed.
"I'm first." A voice behind him said.
Hu Guiyang turned around and was very surprised to see the third ninth brother Hu Guida, "I can do it myself." ”
"Your life is more precious now, so I'll take the lead, unless...... You don't trust me. ”
"Well, since you want to." Hu Guiyang was not stubborn.
Hu Guida picked up the chair and walked to the bed, threw the chair into the mouth, the chair was a little big and stuck, he raised his leg and kicked it a few times, the chair fell in response to the sound and fell underneath.
There was no special reaction, Hu Guida slowly leaned in, and Hu Guiyang followed.
The chamber was also not large, smaller than the room above, made of stones, with a wooden ladder leading to the top, a stone table and chairs on the side, and a lone lamp burning on the table.
"That's all?" Hu Guida was a little disappointed, compared to the Vulcan Sect's spacious underground temple, this place could only be regarded as a stone pit.
Hu Guiyang was also disappointed, "Why is Wen Xiucai hiding here?" ”
"yes, there's no passage, there's no mechanism." Hu Guida walked slowly against the wall, tapping inch by inch, to see if there were any other secrets.
Hu Guiyang walked to the table, picked up the only oil lamp on it, and knelt down on one leg to check the ground.
Hu Guida found nothing, turned to look at Hu Guiyang, who was motionless, "What did you find?" ”
"There used to be chests here."
Hu Guida walked over, and sure enough, he saw a square area with a slightly lighter color, as if it had been pressed by something, and it had only been removed not long ago.
"He took it?" Hu Gui guessed.
"Presumably this is the reason why Wen Xiucai rented this house."
"Don't worry, the fifth brother will definitely be able to ask."
Hu Guiyang stood up, put the oil lamp back on the table, and said with a smile: "We haven't come out to investigate the case together for a long time, right?" ”
"Didn't we go to He's house a few days ago?"
"That doesn't count."
Hu Guida also showed a smile, "Brother Sanliu is not a good hand at investigating cases. Then he put away his smile, "The He family is very eccentric, especially Third Sister He, you have to be careful." ”
"I'll be careful. Well, I don't remember you when you were a child, it seems that we didn't know each other in Broken Teng Gorge. ”
"Do you really remember the old days?"
"A little."
Hu Guida walked to the entrance, glanced up, and then said in a low voice: "I advise you, let's hide the memories of the past in your heart, you have ...... is enough to be in the limelight, and if it goes on like this, it will either become a demon or become an immortal. ”
"Haha, it sounds better to be an immortal." Hu Guiyang stepped on the ladder and walked up, and when he was halfway there, he said, "I want the truth, no matter what the truth is." ”
The officers and soldiers outside were cleaning up the mess, the old five Hu Guimeng and others had already left, only Hu Guijian stayed, and when he saw Hu Guiyang, he immediately greeted him and whispered: "Wen Xiucai admitted that he was a demon fox at the gate of the temple." ”
"Huh? No one asked him. Hu Guiyang was very surprised.
"Yes, he suddenly shouted it himself, attracting many people to watch."
