Chapter Seventy-Three: The Underground Chamber
The man in black knew that his skills were not as good as Shi Min, but he was not afraid at all. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Shi Min has a short knife in his hand at the moment, although it is not a weapon to take advantage of, but it is better than nothing, so the move is even more sharp and accurate, the two men in black joined forces to fight with Shi Min for more than 20 rounds, and soon only had the power to parry.
"Childe! Be careful! Suddenly, Qin Wan's voice came from a hundred steps away, she was standing behind the wall, she didn't dare to come over, she could only shout from afar.
Shi Min was distracted by Qin Wan's sudden shout, and the black-clothed man who arrived later kicked over, Shi Min jumped backwards to dodge the heavy blow, and at this moment, someone shouted loudly: "Gyeonggi Heavy Land!" Who fights privately in the middle of the night! ”
When Shi Min heard this, it was obvious that the people from the patrol battalion had arrived, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he said with a smile: "You can't go!" ”
"Not necessarily!" The man in black was confident.
Shi Min said secretly in his heart: I really don't shed tears when I don't see the coffin. So he walked to the two men in black.
When the two saw Shi Min coming, they heard the people from the patrol camp coming, and hurriedly sprinkled a handful of lime powder at Shi Min, Shi Min subconsciously stepped back, closed his eyes and mouth, and covered his face with his sleeves.
The two men in black hurriedly took the opportunity to run backwards, crossed a high wall, and disappeared.
"What people!" When the people from the patrol battalion arrived, they saw that the two men in black had already crossed the high wall, and saw Qin Wan hiding behind the wall, regardless of the three seven twenty-one to arrest Qin Wan first.
"What are you doing! Let me go! Qin Wan shouted loudly, struggling desperately.
At the same time, seven or eight people from the patrol battalion walked towards Shi Min, and the knife in his hand was already unsheathed.
"What are you! Big night here for a private fight! One of them shouted.
When Shi Min heard that it was Liu Rong's voice, he shouted: "Open your eyes wide to see who this son is!" Let me go! ”
Liu Rong was a little familiar when he heard this voice, so he hurriedly dismounted and walked towards Shi Min. Before he walked to Shi Min, he recognized Shi Min, and hurriedly saluted Shi Min and said, "It turned out to be Min Gongzi, I'm really sorry, I can't see this black light very clearly." ”
"Commander Liu, huh?" Shi Min pointed to Qin Wan, who was arrested not far away.
"Oh~ I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, release people!" Liu Rong smiled awkwardly at Shi Min and instructed the people behind him.
Seeing that Liu Rong ordered the release, those people hurriedly let go of Qin Wan, Qin Wan hurriedly walked through the crowd in fright, ran to Shi Min's side, grabbed Shi Min's arm tightly with both hands, and hid behind Shi Min.
"Min Gongzi, with all due respect, why do you fight with people here if you don't sleep at night?"
"My son also wants to ask Commander Liu, how does your patrol battalion maintain law and order in the capital? Just now, Ben Gongzi saw three men in black running towards this side with a person on his shoulder, so he chased after him, so he fought with two of the men in black. It doesn't matter if you didn't see the man in black in time, it took so long to arrive. ”
Liu Rong was very embarrassed by Shi Min's words, but because it was dark, no one could see Liu Rong's face anyway.
"Ahem...... That one...... Min Gongzi, the capital is so big, and it is impossible for any accidents to appear in time, but looking at the situation just now, even Min Gongzi has not been able to keep those two black-clothed people, even if the lowly and others come, I am afraid that they will not be able to keep it, right? ”
"Are you making fun of Ben Gongzi?" Shi Min asked coldly.
Liu Rong hurriedly shook his hand and said, "How dare you be humble?" Min Gongzi is brave and invincible, and even those who have not kept Min Gongzi will definitely be helpless. But Min Gongzi, since he is in charge of the security of the capital, I have to bother you to talk about the situation of those men in black. ”
"The situation has just been said by Ben Gongzi, three people in black are carrying a person, also wearing black, sneakily running this way, just happened to be seen by Ben Gongzi, so I stopped them, and you must know the rest of the things."
Liu Rong nodded silently, and asked again: "Then I don't know where Min Gongzi saw these people?" ”
"Two blocks from here, around the corner!" Shi Min pointed out a direction for Liu Rong.
"Thank you Min Gongzi for your advice, since Min Gongzi didn't catch those few people, there are only dozens of people in the humble position, and I am afraid that I may not be able to find them. It's not too early, so Childe should go back to Xihua Houfu as soon as possible, so as not to be seen by other patrolling brothers and cause misunderstandings. Liu Rong said.
Shi Min replied lightly: "Commander Liu has to figure out this matter as soon as possible, there are suddenly so many powerful people in the capital, I am afraid that there will be a lot of movements, and when the time comes, Your Majesty will blame it, and Commander Liu is not guilty." ”
Liu Rong smiled awkwardly and said, "What Min Gongzi said is ......"
Shi Min glanced at Liu Rong, stopped talking, turned his head and said softly to Qin Wan, who was hiding behind him, "Let's go back." ”
Qin Wan was a little scared, snuggled up to Shi Min's side, and nodded vigorously.
Shi Min wrapped Qin Wan's cloak around her, put his arm around Qin Wan's shoulder, and left, and those in the patrol camp hurriedly made way for Shi Min.
Liu Rong watched Shi Min leave, and felt a little aggrieved in his heart, a little kid, but he repeatedly humiliated him in front of his subordinates, how could he swallow this breath?
"My lord? What should we do next? One of Liu Rong's subordinates asked in a low voice.
"Patrols have been strengthened in the past few days, these black-clothed people can escape from Shi Min's hands, they must be extraordinary and have a background, if something really happens, we won't be able to eat and walk around at that time."
"Subordinates obey!"
"Let's go, let's go and see where Shi Min found those men in black first." Liu Rong said, turned around and walked back, and suddenly turned back to the man just now and said: "You take twenty people, go over there to find out if there is any trace of the assassins, see which direction they have run, now that the city gate is closed, they must still be in Yecheng, if they can't find it, they are hiding!" ”
"Yes!" The man said, and walked away with a dozen or twenty people.
"Do you recognize the place Shi Min said?" Liu Rong asked another person beside him.
"Yes, please come with me, my lord." The man hurriedly answered, and then ran to the front to lead the way, while Liu Rong followed with the remaining dozen people.
The crowd walked around two streets and soon arrived at the place Shi Min had mentioned.
"This is it?" Liu Rong asked.
"According to what Min Gongzi said, it should be here." The man was sure.
Liu Rong instructed his subordinates: "You go around and look for anything suspicious." ”
"Yes!" More than a dozen people shouted in unison.
Liu Rong saw that his subordinates were scattered, and he was also wandering around, looking for clues.
This street is a little remote, there are not many people who usually come, and the houses in the neighborhood are also a little dilapidated, and they are usually temporary shelters for some homeless people living on the streets.
Liu Rong looked at the direction, and estimated in his heart that it was about two miles away from Xihua Houfu, and it would be there after a few streets. Shi Min appeared here with a woman late at night, but it was also a natural thing, it seemed that the few men in black happened to be seen by Shi Min, and then they fought.
Suddenly, a soldier from the patrol battalion ran over and said to Liu Rong: "My lord, we have found a place that is somewhat suspicious, do you want to come and have a look?" ”
"Let's go! Check it out! Liu Rong said.
The soldier hurriedly led the way, and Liu Rong followed, bypassing a few narrow alleys, and stopped in front of a dilapidated house.
"This is it?" Liu Rong asked.
"There is a secret room under this dilapidated house, which was discovered by a brother who accidentally stepped on the air, look, my lord." The man said, took a torch, walked into the house, squatted down and pointed it to Liu Rong.
Liu Rong walked into the room and squatted down to take a closer look, and there was indeed a two-foot square hole on the ground, which was dark and dark.
"Give me the torch." Liu Rong said and stretched out his hand.
The man handed the torch to Liu Rong, who took the torch and looked at the entrance of the cave, and found that there was a wooden ladder leading to the secret room below, so he held the torch and climbed down the ladder.
After Liu Rong landed on the ground, he looked at it, and the difference between the height of the secret room and the ground was about one zhang, about two or three zhang square. Liu Rong held a torch to check around in the secret room, and at this time, two more people came down from above, also holding torches, and the secret room suddenly lit up a lot.
"Look, my lord!" One of them suddenly shouted.
Liu Rong looked in the direction the man pointed, and it turned out that there was a wooden frame in the corner, and there were several shackles hanging on the wooden frame, and there were charcoal basins, soldering irons, and other torture instruments next to it. A few steps away from the wooden frame was a wooden table with several burning candle heads and an oil lamp.
"My lord, this looks like a place for interrogation and confession." One of them said suddenly.
"You don't need to say it, I can see it." Liu Rong's face was a little bad, he didn't expect that there was such a place in Yecheng under his jurisdiction, he didn't know it.
Liu Rong said, walked to the wooden frame, squatted down with a torch to take a closer look, and found a black face towel and a shoe.
"My lord, what is this?" The other man also crouched down, saw something on the ground, and asked.
"Are you blind? Can't see a shoe and a face towel at this time? Liu Rong glanced at the man, reached out and picked up two things, and stuffed them into his arms.
The man was scolded by Liu Rong and had no brains, and he didn't dare to speak more.
"Send someone to watch here, and look around tomorrow to see if there are any clues." Liu Rong said, stood up, and commanded the people around him.
"Subordinates obey."
"Let's go back first and see if there's any news over there." Liu Rong said and climbed out along the ladder.
