Chapter 19: The House of Death
The moon was dark and the wind was high, Su Ren, Leng Jun, and Huo Laosi bypassed the street and saw the dead house that Huo Laosi said.
This is a very remote place in the east of the city, in the compact county town, this place is very empty, the surrounding houses are at least a dozen steps away from this house, a small manor stands quietly in the night, lonely without lights is even more gloomy.
"It's here, don't look at the quiet outside, there are a lot of people inside, every time you go in, you have to be blindfolded, you can't tell the direction at all, you have to walk for a long time, you will go up and down for a while, and the shadow of the boss will appear when you uncover the blindfold."
Huo Laosi told everything he knew. Since Liu Ping died, Huo Laosi has been even more desperate, not asking for anything else, only that he died inexplicably that day, Su Ren can take care of the orphans and widows of his family, and he will not help in vain.
Leng Jun picked up a stone on the ground and threw it casually, and the stone smashed on the door. There was not much time, the courtyard door opened, and a head stuck out of the courtyard door, looked out, and immediately shrank in again.
"The precautions are quite strict! Is there any way not to? ”
Su Ren shook his head, his heart was beating wildly now, he had never done this kind of thing, at most he had just knocked over the courtyard wall of the school, and he was caught by the director of teaching. The guy who just stuck his head out couldn't see his face, and he didn't think he was a good person. According to Huo Laosi, there are a lot of people inside, and you have to die if you go in like this.
Said coldly and disdainfully: "Haven't you always had a lot of ideas? Why is it gone today? ”
Su Ren looked at the coldness: "What does it mean to drop ten times with one force, there are many people, and you are a straw bag, no matter how high my wisdom is, I can't stand the number of people." ”
"You're the bale of straw!" Leng Jun was annoyed, and glared at Su Ren: "Let you see if I am a straw bag, you wait for me to go in first to see." ”
looked at the cold figure and jumped up the big tree in two or two, and disappeared in the courtyard wall as soon as he stretched out. Su Ren smiled at Huo Laosi: "Did you see it?" This is called wisdom, not to say that he is a straw bag, so he has no courage to go in! ”
Huo Laosi's eyes widened, there was a black line on his head, and he didn't speak for a long time: "Master, can Leng Dao Chang go in alone?" ”
Su Ren shook his head: "I don't know, but I know that it is better for him to go in alone than for all three of us, and we won't bother him, even if he is discovered, he will run more neatly." ”
Huo Laosi suddenly realized and nodded heavily. Throw yourself to the ground with the admiration of this little master in front of you.
Although he said that he was not worried, a pair of eyes looked at the mansion intently. There were still no lights, no sounds, silent as if nothing had happened. Time passed little by little, Su Ren's heart was a little panicked, in case Leng Jun made a mistake, how should he save it?
The door of the mansion opened gently, a head stretched out again, looked around, and the figure suddenly burst out of the door, heading straight for Su Ren and Huo Laosi to hide.
Leng Jun is out of breath, after all, he is a child, and there is excitement and tension in doing this kind of exciting work.
"It's okay, it's okay, there aren't a few people in there, I've cleaned it up!" When he said this, two words were written on his cold little face, pride.
"Really! The cold road is powerful! Huo Laosi's fart was immediately patted.
Leng Jun glanced at Su Ren: "Is it amazing?" Someone just said I'm a straw bale? ”
Su Ren smiled: "Our Leng Dao chief is a knight with high martial arts, how can he be a straw bag, this hand immediately made me change my opinion of you, it is indeed more powerful than me, and the powerful one is not a star and a half, even ten I can't catch up with you." ”
"That's it!" The cold face had already turned up to the sky, and he was facing Su Ren and Huo Laosi with his chin.
Su Ren patted the cold shoulder: "Leng chivalrous? Can we go in and have a look? ”
With Leng Jun taking the lead, the three of them sneaked into the house. It is a typical courtyard in Sichuan, with a house on three sides and a gatehouse, and a shadow back wall poked in the gatehouse. At the gate, a man masked with a black cloth was facing up, his eyes closed, and he fell asleep.
Huo Laosi pulled down the man's face covering cloth and sighed.
"What's wrong? Know? Who is he? ”
Huo Laosi lowered his voice and said: "I do know, it's Xue San next door to us, but this guy seems to have been a government soldier a few years ago, and he hasn't seen him for a few years, how can he be here?" ”
"Are you sure?"
Huo Laosi nodded: "Naturally, how can there be any neighbors who don't know, I have run two trips to smuggle salt before I was a soldier, this Xue San is an honest child, everyone in the alley is smiling, I really can't imagine that he would do such a thing, Leng Daochang, he won't have anything, right?" ”
"No, it's ** incense, I'll wake up at noon tomorrow."
"Sure enough, it's a rooster and a dog thief, it seems that Meng Weijun is a lot of harm!" Su Ren shook his head and sighed.
Said coldly and disdainfully: "If you don't come, what's wrong with the rooster and dog thief?" This is also a means. ”
There are a total of three rooms, there are three people in each side of the wings, and there are four in the hall, all of whom were stunned by Leng Jun with ** incense like that Xue San, and took off their face coverings, and several Huo Laosi knew each other. Except for that Xue San, the others are not good people. These people have one thing in common, they are all government soldiers. Su Ren's brows furrowed.
It's such a big house, it's not as suspenseful as Huo Laosi said, and there is nothing to turn around from the gate to the top of the hall and walk to the top of the hall.
Leng Jun glanced at it: "Fourth brother, will you be mistaken, where is this place, it can't be someone blindfolded you and lead you around the house, right?" ”
Huo Laosi hurriedly shook his head: "No, never, if it's going around in circles, I can still know." ”
Su Ren did not participate in the discussion between the two, and rummaged in the corner of the hall alone, looking here and there, and grabbed an oil lamp on the small table casually. Suddenly, in the middle of the hall, the ground moved slowly in both directions, revealing a bottomless pit.
"That's right, that's right, it's the voice, it has to sound every time you come." Huo Laosi and Leng Jun hurriedly lowered their heads to look. The hole descends at 45 degrees, with steps leading to the innermost part, and no one knows where it leads.
Leng raised his feet and was about to go down. Su Ren grabbed it: "Forget it, who knows what other organs are here, you don't have to go down, probably guess what place we are, fourth brother, how far have you walked?" ”
Huo Laosi frowned, and thought carefully: "The underground is full of turns, there are very few straight roads, and there is about a stick of incense after walking, and you can turn back and forth seven or eight times, and the largest one goes up and down, very deep and very high." ”
Su Ren nodded, turned the oil lamp, and the cracks on the ground slowly closed. With a wave of his hand, he led the three people to retreat along the same path. Su Ren never spoke, and neither did Leng Jun and Huo Laosi. It was getting late and I couldn't go out of the city, so I rested for the night at Huo Laosi's original home.
As soon as he entered the door, before he had time to light the lights, Su Ren asked Huo Laosi: "Fourth brother, tell me about the houses around the house, the more detailed the better." ”
Not knowing what Su Ren was going to do, Huo Laosi nodded hurriedly, lit the lamp, and drew on the ground as he spoke. In the past ten years, Huo Laosi has lived in Wenshui County, although he doesn't know whose house it is, the nearby places are still very clear.
"The house is close to the city wall, there is nothing to say about the neighbors, they are all people, there is a street in front of the county government, there are no rich and powerful people nearby, the north of the city was originally occupied by the county government and Liu Wen's house, right! The outside of this city wall is not ordinary, it is a military camp, and the mansion built by the county lieutenant is next to the military camp. ”
"That's right!" Su Renchang sighed: "That's right." ”
"What's right? What the hell is going on? Leng Jun couldn't wait to ask.
Su Ren smiled: "It seems that we have wronged Liu Wen, according to my guess, the biggest smuggler in Wenshui County is none other than the county lieutenant Hou Jian." ”
"Lieutenant Hou?" Huo Laosi's head shook like a rattle: "No, no, although the county lieutenant Hou is also a big family in Wenshui, his reputation is much better than Liu Wen, the soldiers under him have never harassed us people, our Wenshui is in a remote area, and there are many bandits around, just because of the county lieutenant, the bandits have not harassed Wenshui County." ”
"Really?" Su Ren smiled: "How do I think, it is that the county lieutenant Hou has earned enough money by selling smuggled salt, so there is no need to get along with you who have no money, as for those bandits, if my guess is right, they should also be the minions of the county lieutenant." ”
Leng Jun frowned: "How can you say that a good official, the county lieutenant Hou will not do this, when my master and I came to the county seat to buy rice, we really had no money, or the county lieutenant Hou helped us buy two buckets of rice." ”
"Hahaha!" Su Ren laughed: "Just because of these small favors, you have been deceived by others?" Then let me ask you, how do the soldiers in the house explain? The tunnel that the fourth brother said is up and down, and it is very deep, it should be turned out from under the city wall, and the Wu bald man of Shuangzui Mountain went down the mountain this time, and the goal is very clear, that is, to deal with Liu Ping, if the county lieutenant and Wu Bald have nothing to do with it, I will cut off my head and give it to you as a night pot! ”
Su Ren said some truth, although Leng Jun and Huo Laosi were hard-mouthed, they also believed it a little. You can't tell the good guys and the bad guys, let alone the faces don't write. As a modern person who has watched all kinds of shady TV and movies, Su Ren has a deep understanding of the bad guys. Those guys who are usually sanctimonious and full of gentlemen and benevolence are generally twisted in their hearts and extremely perverted villains. The bad guys who talk about fighting, killing, bullying this, and scaring that all day long are actually just gangsters.
Since the target has been locked and the mastermind behind the scenes has been found, it is necessary to get over it. The county lieutenant is not a petty official, not to mention that people are still in the dark, openly and secretly give them a little people to come to them, which is enough for them to drink a pot. Su Ren made up his mind to pay attention, and he will visit the county lieutenant tomorrow, which can be regarded as knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger! Let's see what this county lieutenant is going to do to himself.
