Chapter 90: Insect Carving Skills
It was rare to see Li Cheng say inconsequential words seriously, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"If there is really such a wonderful method of the immortal family, the kid would like to learn it."
At least, he won't have to be so embarrassed next time he faces the Assassins, right?
also hid the wit of Li Cheng in the words.
"But what did you find?" Chen Ping couldn't understand why he asked, looking at Yijiang.
"Not a trace of it has been left behind."
It stands to reason that if you want to transfer such a large group of people, you need to do a lot of work, and it is inevitable that you will not pay attention to some details, which will leave flaws.
For example, if you pay attention to the footprints under your feet, you will inevitably ignore the stains on the walls, pay attention to the details such as the locks, and inevitably suffer at the hinges of the door frames, and there is no perfect way.
But this cell looks as if no one has been there since the beginning, and even the presence of more than 100 members of the Yang family cannot be found.
He also half-narrowed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
"General Li, it's ...... to talk about this" Chen Ping sighed and looked at Li Cheng hesitantly.
Even if they all knew in their hearts that Li Cheng was dragged into the water, but the Yang family was a rebellious felon, I am afraid that Li Cheng would not be able to argue with their disappearance.
Li Cheng didn't have any special reaction, and he wasn't in a hurry. He calmly instructed the guards around him. "Thoroughly investigate the entire prison, but if there is any clue, don't let it go at all!"
If something goes wrong, it's a demon.
No matter what means the other party used, but in Luoyang Prison, where there was only one entrance, it was impossible for more than a hundred people to leave without a trace.
Unless...... The other party simply remained in prison.
"No." The creeps who followed behind the three took orders.
"Wait a minute." He suddenly called out to the little soldier, found a clue, and the light in his eyes flashed. "Brother Chen, please repeat what Liu Xun said."
Seeing what Yijiang thought, Chen Ping's anxiety eased slightly.
"Liu Xun said that Li Cheng entered the Luoyang official office at the end of the day, and held the order of the hussar general, asking for a private interrogation of the remnants of the Yang family."
"The Yang family is all held in this cell, and if they want to enter the interrogation, they need a key to open the door. Did Liu Xun give the key to his cell to 'General Lee'? He asked.
Li Cheng paused.
If the door is opened normally with a key, there will indeed be no signs of prying the door lock.
Chen Ping shook his head.
Liu Xun knew that the stakes were high, and he didn't dare to be negligent. He personally took the key to help 'General Li' open the cell door, then locked it again, and waited until 'General Li' informed him to open the cell door again and release the people. ”
Liu Xun is not a fledgling who has just entered the imperial court, and of course he is thoughtful.
"Liu Xun has never left the prison door from beginning to end......" General also hesitated. Didn't even leave a hundred steps? ”
Could it be that he was thinking something wrong?
Chen Ping heard what Yijiang said, carefully recalled what Liu Xun had said, and then added.
"Liu Xun felt that if 'General Li' had something to interrogate, he naturally didn't want to be heard by him, so he actually stood a hundred steps away and waited, and sent the other jailers away. But his gaze never left the prison door, and at this distance, as long as 'General Lee' commanded him loudly, he could react at any time. ”
In order to facilitate the entry and exit of 'Li Cheng', the jailers and guards were temporarily separated by Liu Xunyong under the pretext of Liu Xunyong.
"That's right." A hint of understanding flashed in Yijiang's eyes, "Brother Chen, you go and ask the jailer who is being held, there are no prisoners' cells in Luoyang Prison, and whether they were locked in the past." ”
"No need to ask. The vacant cells in Luoyang Prison are not locked. Li Cheng called out to the soldier who had just received the order and answered in his place.
Putting heavy locks on cells without prisoners is in a sense redundant.
"Sure enough."
Yijiang's face flashed fiercely, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved into a hook-like shape.
Good means.
"Lord Chen, General Li, don't waste time in the dungeon. Now please immediately send someone to surround all the neighboring mansions in Luoyang Prison and search them one by one! ”
Chen Ping didn't know why.
But he will also say this categorically, and there must be a reason for him. Chen Ping immediately ordered the soldiers around him to send a message to Lin Yao.
"But what trick did you use?" Li Cheng asked.
"It's just a small skill of carving insects." Yijiang smiled and did not explain directly.
He walked over to the empty cell next door, kicked open the door, and found his goal.
"General Li, why do you think that more than 100 people from the Yang family are missing?"
Really, he is not a fast catcher, why is he not only responsible for being assassinated as a general now, but even the matter of investigating and arresting people will fall on him.
Li Cheng was a little puzzled.
Speaking of why, of course, because the cell was locked, there was no door to go around, and there were guards outside. Obviously, there is no exit, but the person is gone, and it is not called disappearing.
"Because you think that the prison door is tight, there is no way for Yang and 'Li Cheng' to escape." They will also ask and answer their own questions. Seeing Li Cheng remain silent, he knew that he was right. "But what if the premise of 'locked prison doors' is not true?"
Preconceived ideas, just a blind eye.
Actually play this trick in front of yourself.
He swept through the cell and walked straight to the bed.
This cell was furnished exactly like the one next door, with only a simple table and a wooden bed stacked with hay on top of it, and it didn't look any different.
But this 'no difference' is the biggest problem! You must know that these two cells are inhabited by one and the other is not occupied.
At a glance, you will know what the problem is.
"The cell is cold, no one has lived in it for a long time, and no one has cleaned it, where is the hay bed not occupied by snakes, insects, rats and ants." He walked over to the edge of the bed and kicked it off.
There was a 'bang' and hay splashed everywhere.
Also lower the torch in your hand so that the light can shine on the ground.
He crouched down, tapped a pinch of dirt and twisted it, motioning for the two to pay attention to where they were under him.
Li Cheng and Chen Ping looked over, and sure enough, they found a difference in color on the soil under the original bed board. Covered with a shallow layer of traces, part of it is moist new soil, and the other part is dry and filthy old soil. If it hadn't been found by Yijiang, I am afraid that after a few more days in this clammy and cold prison, this trace would have disappeared without a trace.
"Come on, dig this place up for me!" Li Cheng shouted.
Three or four guards with shovels cleared the layers of soil.
Sure enough, there was a wooden plank under the soil layer, and after opening the plank, a hidden passage leading to the Luoyang government compound was revealed.
