Chapter Seventy-Five: The Secret Path (1)
Hearing that this hole was discovered, Zhuge Liang also rushed over from the public security early in the morning. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"General Zhao, did you find any useful clues?" Zhuge Liang walked in front of me with a solemn face, it seems that Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei also attach great importance to this matter.
"I've only found that hole now, and I've protected it." I took Zhuge Liang into Penglai's house, and the soldiers on both sides stood up and saluted Zhuge Liang. "Now that I have sent Hu Sansheng to find those people who built houses, it can be concluded that Peng Lai must have been taken from this hole."
"Okay, keep tracking, and let me know as soon as there are any important clues." Zhuge Liang looked around the cave a few times, hoping to find something, but unfortunately, he couldn't see it. "What is General Zhang going to do next?"
"Ask those people first, interrogate them all, and then go into this hole and see what's inside." I reported to Zhuge Liang.
"Okay, just come as yours." Zhuge Liang expressed his condolences to the soldiers here. "Did General Zhao Yun bring my letter yesterday?"
"It's brought, General Zhao Yun should be resting at the moment."
"If you need anything, let him support you. I still have some things, so I'll go back first. ”
"What's going on with the military advisor now?"
"After the war, the order of Jiangxia and Jiujiang needs to be maintained, Lu Su hopes that I will assist him, and the people in the south of the public security are not able to make a living, and they still have to find a way to supply food and commodities." Zhuge Liang was a little worried.
"Is the supply of commodities solved by Brother Peng Lai?"
"Exactly!" At present, it is a big deal to appease the people, and Peng Lai, who has a lot of money in his hand, is still the best candidate to recover the economy.
Saying goodbye to Zhuge Liang, Zhou Cheng also brought Hu Sansheng and the sixty brothers over, stood in six rows, surrounded by soldiers, and some people were trembling inside, for fear that something big had happened.
"General Zhang, I brought you all these brothers." Hu Sansheng walked up to me.
"I, Zhang Qiansheng, thank you brothers for building a house for us, I am really grateful, but who knows what is going on with the hole under Captain Peng Lai's bed?" I glanced at the people in front of me, some of whom had to get my attention.
"General, Captain Peng's house was not built by us!" A bald man shouted from the crowd.
"Oh? So how many people built this house? ”
"We'll build one for every twenty people, and we'll just stand apart." The bald man said.
"What's your name?" I stared at this man.
"General Hui, under Mao Bin." If I hadn't been a general, I really wanted to laugh out loud when I heard this name, wouldn't Mao Bin be wrong? But since you're a general, you can't think like that, and respect everyone's name.
"You divide these people among me." I asked Mao Bin to separate the people who built Peng Lai's house.
After a while, Mao Bin had already distinguished himself, according to Mao Bin's position, my house should have been installed by him, and he suddenly had a good impression of him.
"Now, who among you knows what's going on? What's going on with that hole? Who else knows the whereabouts of Captain Peng Lai? "No one dared to reply to me with vicious words and fierce words, and no one answered after asking several times.
"Since you don't say it, you can't blame me." I had the soldiers imprison all of them. "Once I find a clue, I will release everyone, and as long as someone can report or provide clues, then I can also release everyone."
There are people crying out for grievances, but it doesn't help, after all, I won't give up if I can't find out the reason.
"What is the case now?" The elder brother looked at so many people who were confined by surveillance.
"What to do, just get in and find out." I jumped into the hole, broke through a layer of dirt that was not thick, and a dark tunnel appeared in front of me.
"Be careful." My brother was outside telling me. Meng Ru also followed me down, but it was too dark, Meng Ru brought a flotting stick, although the light was weak, but it was enough to simply illuminate me.
The damp and dragging dirt in the tunnel told me that there were people passing through here, and that the hole had been dug recently, and there was a smell of fishy dirt in the air.
"General Zhang, are we still going forward?" Meng Ru asked me.
"Of course you have to go out, otherwise how can you find out." I took a step forward, and Meng Ru followed me cautiously.
I don't know how long I walked, but I have to say that this tunnel is still a bit long, if you build a house and dig it in the past few days, then dig such a tunnel in just seven days, it is really day and night, very tired!
"General Zhang, look ahead, there is a glimmer of light!" Meng Ru suddenly pointed ahead, looking from a distance, there was a faint light, we crawled forward, with the fastest speed, we couldn't wait to see where this leads.
At the end of the tunnel is the dirt, and I touched the dirt in front of me with my hand, and it was very wet.
"Couldn't it be water?" Meng Ru also touched it.
"I don't rule out this possibility, it seems that these people are quite shrewd." I smiled.
"But where do we get out from?" Meng Ru got to the point.
I took the fire and looked up and down, and there was some grass on my head. "The grass doesn't grow to the ground." I pulled out one and said to Meng Ru.
"Of course not!" Meng Ru was very sure, and began to dig the soil, only a few clicks, the soil on it collapsed, covering Meng Ru's face with soil.
"I'll go, it's really thick soil." Meng Ru muttered, the sky was already seen above.
I was scared to come out, and as expected, the hole went all the way to the river, but the exit was upward, that is, next to the lake, and if we had gone straight through, we would have been blocked by the water.
"It's getting fun, Meng Ru." I sat by the river and lost all the clues again.
"General Zhang, who do you say did this?" Meng Ru looked at me.
"Do you have any ideas?"
"I have an idea, I think there is someone else behind it, but whether to entrust those craftsmen to dig it must be investigated." Meng Ru threw a pebble into the water, causing a ripple.
"That is, there may be people digging holes among the sixty people, but there are other people who let them dig holes, and they are well designed." I pulled a dog's tail grass and chewed it in my mouth, I really admired this person, and I didn't know what medicine this person sold in his gourd.
I got up and looked at the side, it was a river behind our house, where people often fished, and I had an idea, could it be related to the fishermen?
But let's tell my brother and Zhou Cheng first.
