Chapter Twenty-Five: Found
"What would you do if you found out, Flying Light?" Chen Tongsheng asked.
"Me?" Wang Chengnan said: "Shaoqing of Dali Temple said to give me meritorious service to atone for my sins...... But it's supposed to be a lie. β
Chen Tongsheng said: "Don't you hate me? β
"Originally, my father was caught, and I had to sit together, and sooner or later I would die." Wang Chengnan said: "I'm out a lot, stay a few more days......"
In Song Zhilan's puzzled eyes, Wang Chengnan made a sudden move, and then said, "Go find you." β
Chen Tongsheng said: "Looking for me? β
"Yes. Dali Siqing said that you are now in the Hou Mansion, presumably there must be Hou Ye to rely on, I want to ask you to help me. Wang Chengnan said: "As long as you can help me with this, I can do anything." β
Chen Tongsheng waited for Wang Chengnan's next words, but Song Zhilan kept beating drums in her heart.
Which one is this Dali Temple?
Liu De, or the new Zou Shiyun recently? No, no, Zou Shiyun looks like a righteous and stupid face, and he writes "I sit upright, I am an honest and good official", and he worked against another Shaoqing of Dali Temple all day long. It is not like someone who dares to release a prisoner from prison privately for the sake of taking credit.
It's this Liu De, another protΓ©gΓ© of his brother's best friend's teacher, but he is a regular attendant of the left scattered horse!
Song Zhilan was alarmed in her heart, and she was already preparing how to go back to report the matter to Yang and Hou.
Wang Chengnan glanced at Song Zhilan defensively, and didn't continue to say, but said, "Do you want to continue looking?" β
It turned out that it was not Song Zhilan's responsibility to check Feiguang, but Chen Tongsheng had personal feelings in this matter, and Song Zhilan had nothing to do with this matter at all. But on the one hand, Wang Chengnan is a suspicious person in Rong Li'er's incident, and on the other hand, Song Zhilan herself is not afraid of things, maybe she can make a contribution in this way, so she no longer mentions Rong Li'er's matter, and said without hesitation: "Looking for it, why don't you look for it, if it rains again later, there will be no clue at all." β
Chen Tongsheng nodded, lowered his head and continued to study the rut.
According to the direction of the ruts, they followed one of the ruts all the way down, and the mountain road did not narrow any longer, but only turned around and saw that a small hill had been turned.
The sky was completely dark, and Song Zhilan tried to use the fire fold to illuminate, but the light was too faint, but it was not brighter than a bright moon in the sky.
"How long will it take," Song Zhilan couldn't help but say, "It stands to reason that the place where the goods are hidden will not be very far." β
Chen Tongsheng said: "Yes, we, act late." In other words, they didn't go far, but it was getting dark quickly.
"Look at the ruts." Chen Tongsheng continued: "The driver should have turned directly to this road without pausing. β
And he turned very quickly, and the horse turned sharply, and stepped on the ground because the center of gravity was shifted, and the same paw prints were of different shades on the left and right.
"So he had already found out that the officers and soldiers were coming." Song Zhilan nodded.
The road is still uneven, and it is very inconvenient to walk up and down in the dark.
At this time, Wang Chengnan, who was walking in the middle, suddenly exclaimed, his body tilted to the side, Chen Tongsheng's eyesight was excellent at night, it can be said that it was far beyond ordinary people, she saw Wang Chengnan After twisting a little, his feet immediately moved to a flatter place, and he was about to stand firm. Who knew that the moment Song Zhilan heard the voice, she subconsciously turned around quickly, and the person could only help her, but her other hand hit the mountain wall next to her, because of the force of turning around, the fire that was lit in her hand "Whew-", drew an arc of light with a slight spark in the air, and fell directly off the cliff.
"......" Song Zhilan looked back at her hand inexplicably, and then looked around again.
Chen Tongsheng: "Drop, go down." β
Wang Chengnan: "Thank you, but it did fall." β
"This is the fire fold that accompanied me from birth to death!" Song Zhilan said sadly: "How many times has it spent burning pigeons in the middle of the night with me!" You just watched it fall, and no one said a word! β
Wang Chengnan looked stupid at the time, and Chen Tongsheng was far away and felt that it was unnecessary, so he also stood.
Song Zhilan continued to complain: "This fire fold is from the old Xu family in the north of the city, and it has been a fire fold for generations!" Ancestral craft! It's so easy to use! If this falls and doesn't go out, what kind of leaves will be burned, and then a mountain fire will be burned?! β
"......" Chen Tongsheng said, "You go down and pick it up?" β
Song Zhilan closed her mouth with kindness, and let out a strong breath from her nostrils to express her dissatisfaction that had not disappeared.
They continued to walk forward, but only a dozen steps, a strange and subtle sound made Chen Tong stop violently.
Chen Tongsheng suddenly said: "Stop!" β
She just stood, and under the puzzled gazes of the two people in front of her, she subconsciously tilted her head to the place where the voice came from: "Listen." β
What to listen to?
Song Zhilan also tilted her head to listen, after she had been trained, she had to notice something was wrong before Wang Chengnan, who was still confused: "It seems to be a little ...... It's a bit ......."
She couldn't tell what it was for a moment, beeping and beeping, as if it were ...... What is burning.
Chen Tongsheng immediately reacted: "Your excerpt! β
Song Zhilan's first reaction was no, my fold is really going to catch fire?
Chen Tongsheng had already sensed something more dangerous, and as soon as she turned around and stuck to the mountain wall, she saw that the col where the fire had fallen was "suddenly ββ! Jumping up a one-person-high flame, Song Zhilan didn't have time to say anything, and then "Bang!" "There was a bang on the ground, and there was a bang in the col!
Wang Chengnan let this voice tremble, and Chen Tongsheng dragged the person to the side of the mountain road, took another step forward, and looked into the col below the road.
The flame turned out to be a ball, but soon it quickly extended into a line of fire like a plant that had found new nutrients. The line of fire ran parallel to the path they were, moving forward, but it didn't go far before the flames stopped, followed by a series of explosions. The explosion wasn't as big as it had that night, but the sweetness of the burning, fishy smell was exactly the same as it had permeated the village that night.
"Below, there's a flying light." Chen Tongsheng said.
She asked, "What does the king take to feiguang?" β
Wang Chengnan was shocked: "I didn't get close and didn't see clearly, but generally those who pretend to be that kind of thing are ......."
"Jars." Chen Tongsheng looked at Wang Chengnan and nodded, before continuing: "Just now, the sound of the jar bursting. β
"How did Feiguang end up here?" Song Zhilan said: "Could it be that the car was too fast and fell off the car?" β
"It's not here, it's a place to turn, it's difficult to fall." Chen Tongsheng shook his head: "It should be, he threw it down by himself." β
"Do you know how big that car is?" Chen Tongsheng asked.
Wang Chengnan recalled: "It seems to be a four-wheeled carriage that transports goods......"
She pointed to the line of fire and showed the other two: "It's far away, less than a car. β
When Wang Orion was frightened and fled, because there were too many goods, the team was too long to run fast, and he was afraid of attracting officers and soldiers, he was very likely to choose to abandon some of the flying lights. After all, to make money, you have to spend your life.
Song Zhilan: "Then why did he only throw away so little?" This car can't be unloaded, how much faster can it be? β
Chen Tongsheng also didn't understand.
Wang Chengnan said at this time: "Because he is reluctant." β
"My father is a very greedy person, and when he was in business, he took advantage of everyone's cheapness." Wang Chengnan said: "Later, he made a fortune by selling Feiguang, but he was still stingy, and hid all the money tightly. β
"......" Song Zhilan wrinkled her nose and couldn't help asking, "Why does your father have a tin on him?" β
"When he was laughing with the lady on the street, he came from somewhere." Wang Chengnan's voice carried a subtle sneer in the dark night: "I don't know how much it's worth." He's like this, it's ridiculous, and he's bolder than his brain, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten involved in these things. Feiguang is worth a thousand gold, and pouring him a jar is all cutting his flesh. β
It is conceivable that such a greedy person for money, when Fengchi was exposed and Kushui Village was inspected one after another, in addition to being afraid of panic, what else would he think?
Could he have had the idea of having these flying lights to himself?
Anyway, the upper home of the delivery is exposed, and the next family who receives the goods may not be able to keep it, isn't the owner of the wealth on this car himself?
Wang Chengnan could guess that pouring out the treasure he had just arrived in his hands would not be difficult for others to escape, but for Wang Orion, it would take a lot of determination.
"So, he just threw it, so much." Chen Tongsheng thought for a moment and added, "At the beginning. β
They continued to walk forward, Chen Tongsheng deliberately twitched her nose, I don't know if it was a psychological effect, she seemed to always be able to smell a smell of flying essence.
"Whether there's anything down there, we can't see it now." Song Zhilan said: "Maybe he will throw it all away when he gets to the back, or maybe he won't be willing to throw it away at all." Alas, it's really annoying. β
Did Wang Orion know about the existence of this road beforehand?
To have such a big business dealings, Wang Orion must be very familiar with the village...... Chen Tongsheng thought for a while, and suddenly said: "What are they doing when they transported Feiguang to the village?" β
Song Zhilan said naturally: "Processing, the stock solution is not good." β
Chen Tongsheng asked: "In the village, have you seen the processing place?" β
Song Zhilan took a breath.
Processing Feiguang, although it is not much technical work, but the necessary guys must have it, and it is not practical to do it in their respective yards, so since there are no processing objects and sites in the village, it means that the place where the people of Kushui Village do their buddies is not in the village nine times out of ten.
"Wang Orion, directly transported the freight to the processing place."
Song Zhilan was shocked: "Will this person stay anywhere?" β
ββ¦β¦ It's possible. β
Chen Tongsheng said that he didn't care about the taste below, and hurried forward.
And after walking for an unknown amount of time, they climbed a hillside, and a series of low houses that were silent in the dark appeared in front of them.
Chen Tongsheng squinted and saw that most of those houses were backed by mountain walls, and many of them had holes dug directly into the mountain and later built houses. Leaning against the slope, back to the sun. Coupled with the lush woods, this place is very secluded.
"Hah!" Song Zhilan laughed in a low voice: "I found it!" β
