About 100 meters away from the tall gatehouse is the main gate of the post house, majestic and magnificent, there are two stone lions guarding the house at the door, the door is wide open at this time, and the width can accommodate several carriages to pass through.

"Three girls, the gate of this post house is about to catch up with the city gate." Chang'an whispered to Wang Baochuan, I saw the post house before, but it was not so grand.

"The Liangzhou Pavilion is a first-class post house, located in the fortress, often receiving the envoys of the Western Regions, and the luxury and magnificence built by it show the prestige of my holy dynasty." Wang Baochuan said, born in an official family since he was a child, and he has seen more than ordinary people.

Entering the door, it is a scenery again, the road inside is flat and spacious, staggered and longitudinal, the mulberry bamboo shade under the wall next to the road, the buildings are scattered, the corridor is tortuous and meandering, there is a pond, there seems to be someone sitting leisurely and fishing in the pavilion in the pond.

Walk to the front of the post building, a post soldier led the carriage to the back of the stable car yard, listen to the introduction of the post matter, the functional facilities in the hall are quite complete, it is simply a set of accommodation, catering and entertainment in one, luxury.

Even though the disaster outside was severe, it was hardly affected in the slightest, and the inside and outside of the museum were like two worlds.

There was no word all night, and before dawn the next day, Chang'an was startled by the sudden sound of drums outside, and the soldiers passed the word, and everyone in the hall gathered in the hall.

The hall was noisy and people talked about it, reprimanding the post man for his negligence, until the tall and thin post man appeared with the sword-wielding post soldier, and the hall was quiet.

"I'm really sorry to disturb you, but there was a murder in the hall last night, and I have to ask everyone to cooperate with the investigation this morning." The post man said slowly, although he was sorry, he was unapologetic.

"What do I have to do with the murder? Could it be that we are suspected of being murderers? What evidence do you have? Someone immediately retorted, what does it mean to go to the police and gather everyone here when there is a murder? As a prisoner? A little post is not small!

"The gate of the post house has not yet opened, so the lower officials suspect that the murderer is among you, so I hope you will cooperate."

Everyone looked at each other, and someone said, "You said the murder case for a long time, who died?" How do you know it's murder and not a violent illness? ”

"Someone! Lift it up. With a wave of his hand, two postmen carried a corpse covered with a white cloth into the hall, and the postman himself lifted the white cloth, causing the hall to scream again and again.

Chang An glanced at it, and the corpse's neck was slashed, and the knife was deep into the bones, and the judgment was indeed indisputable.

"This is a post soldier in the post house, named Liu San, who died in his room last night, I don't know what everyone thinks?"

"What do you think? What can we think? What did it matter that he died in his room? ”

"In that case, let's talk about what you were doing last night? Is there a witness? ”

"Hey? Naturally, I slept in my room, what else could I do? Do you need a witness for this sleep? ”

"Since the murderer cannot be found, then all the people must stay here until the murderer is found."

"You dare! We are not prisoners, why do you imprison us? ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, not imprisoned, just cooperating with the investigation."

After speaking, the post man led the post soldiers to quickly withdraw from the hall, and locked the door of the hall from the outside with a "clang".

Chang'an and Wang Baochuan glanced at each other, both puzzled, what did this post do they want to do? Shouldn't the murder case in the museum be protected first and then reported to the official office to deal with it? What did he mean by sending people to carry the corpse around to intimidate the occupants? Which one of the people who can live in the official post house has no identity? Aren't you afraid that things will get out of control?

This flip operation made people a little unprepared, and when they understood, some people angrily shook the door in the hall and scolded the post office, and some people kicked the wooden door hard, but the outside seemed to be prepared, and after a while, a team of post soldiers with rows of door panels, a few clicks nailed all the doors and windows outside.

What is the purpose of this event? The silver medal displayed by Gao Shiji yesterday is equivalent to the authority of a holy decree, he dared to forcibly detain the high-ranking envoy, is he not afraid of committing the crime of killing the head?

Some people are even angry with the corpses on the ground, isn't it just the death of a lowly postman, why is it that so many people are imprisoned here?

"Third girl, look at that corpse is wrong, he was killed without blood!" After the body was exposed, Chang'an noticed something strange and shouted loudly.

Someone next to him heard Chang'an's cry and was attracted to it, and everyone carefully observed the corpse on the ground, and there was really no blood.

"Judging from the traces of the wound, this man was fatally killed by a knife in the throat from behind, and at that time, the room did not hear the sound of a fight last night, so it must be someone who killed him who was familiar with him, so he was defenseless." Immediately, "experts" began to analyze the case. "It's just, it's a little weird."

"What's weird?"

"Look at the clothes he's wearing! As the post said just now, this person was killed around the right time, and at that time, he was not on duty, he should have fallen asleep, why was he wearing regular clothes? ”

"When someone you know comes to him, can't he get up and put on his clothes?"

"Yes, yes, but you see that his hair is not loose, his crown and hat are not taken off, and his shoes and boots are neatly dressed, obviously he has not slept at all, what does he want to do?"

"Whatever he wants to do? It's disgusting that he has trapped us in this death! ”

"The post said that the deceased was killed last night, such a precise time, it could be that the post was the murderer! He deliberately blamed us? ”

"Abominable! When he gets out of trouble today, he will be taught to break his body into pieces, and he will not die well! ”

But why is there no blood on him? There was not a trace of blood on the wound! Could it be that the post man drank his blood after killing someone? ”

As soon as such a bizarre idea was proposed, it suddenly made people feel a little creepy.

"Phew! Scare yourself, if there is that monster that drinks human blood, we can still run? Why lock us up? ”

"Say...... Maybe...... That monster has a small appetite...... Can't eat much at once...... Deliberately locked us up and ate them one by one! ”

"Shhhh According to what you say, the post is a youkai? ”

As soon as everyone argued like this, their anger decreased a lot, and some people began to discuss countermeasures, and they couldn't be trapped here for no reason. Because of the suddenness of the incident, there was no defense, and I was really helpless for a while.

Gao Shiji stared at the corpse for a long time, and suddenly glanced at Chang'an, Chang'an willingly held Wang Baochuan, and the three quietly stayed away from the crowd.

"Third girl, this Liu San, the house has some impressions, and there was a conflict with the house yesterday." Seeing that the two were curious, Gao Shiji explained, "Yesterday, the government asked for tea, and he knocked it over, he seemed to have something to say to the house, but he was soon called away, and the house didn't pay attention at the time, but today I think about it, and I feel strange." ”

"This Liu San and Gaofuyuan are old acquaintances?" Wang Baochuan asked thoughtfully.

"No, the people in the house only learned that his name was Liu San, and they had never seen this person before." Gao Shiji said.

Suddenly, someone in the hall shouted, "Bastard! Is this going to burn us? Open the door, open the door! ”

Through the crack in the door, you can see that there are people outside who are constantly bringing firewood and piling it up outside the hall, are they going to burn this building together? What a daredevil!

Until noon, there was no movement outside, and I suddenly heard the post man say loudly outside, "Don't complain, just blame you for choosing the wrong time, and the lower officials are also acting according to orders, and they can't help themselves, whether they will live or die in three days, just look at your creation." ”

After saying that, he even ordered someone to pry a small piece of wood and throw food and water into the hall, causing the hall to shout and curse again and again.

"Gaofuyuan, Mei'er, we have to find a way to get out." Wang Baochuan said.

"But the doors and windows were nailed shut, and they couldn't be opened." Chang'an felt that it was actually very simple to go out, but as a girl ring with only a little more strength, this situation was helpless was the norm.

Wang Baochuan pointed to the roof, "Go from above!" I saw that I climbed the cliff easily that day, so I thought it shouldn't be a problem to come here. ”

Gao Shiji raised his head and nodded, "Your Majesty can do it, but how can the third girl and Mei'er go up?" ”

Chang An smiled and pointed to the yarn in the hall and said, "Use that, but you have to wait one more day." ”

By the evening of the second day, the rope ladder woven by Chang'an with a man's tent was finally completed, and the tables and chairs in the hall were dismantled. This was the result of others following suit, and because of the haste of the incident, the people who gathered in the hall came empty-handed, so they had to manually dismantle the rope ladder.

In the dead of night, the people in the hall, with the assistance of Gao Shiji, climbed the rope ladder one by one to climb from the large hole poked out of the roof to the roof.

I thought it was foolproof, but as soon as everyone jumped to the ground, they stumbled head-on and ran to a person, and by the moonlight, they could vaguely see the post soldier on that person was dressed.

The man was running and suddenly saw so many people, and he paused, but instead of running away, he ran over, shouting for help as he ran! "Help! Help me! Ghosts! There are ghosts! ”

This terrible sound is worse than the ghost scream, and the people have just escaped, how can this cry attract other post soldiers? Someone immediately gave him a hand knife, and the man fell limply to the ground.

"There's... Ghost! …… Ghosts! Someone suddenly shouted, and the crowd looked at him with their fingers, "Ah...... Yes...... Ah...... "The ghost screaming army instantly joined many new forces, and each one screamed more poignantly than the other.

Chang'an pulled Wang Baochuan's shirt and stepped back again and again and looked at the ground vigilantly, only to see that after the post soldier who was still running just now fell to the ground, it turned into a pile of dry bones in an instant, and the bones exuded a faint phosphorus fire, which was weird and inexplicable.
