"Tell me, what's the matter?" Chu He said lightly.

"Your Excellency, your subordinates...... I asked a few guys, and they said that the shopkeeper often spoke to empty places, and they all knew that the man in the air was the real manager here. ”

Talking to the air?

Song Nian suddenly became interested.

"Why didn't we say anything when we questioned these guys?" He Zhixian frowned.

"Lord Hui, these people are very cunning, and they don't use some means, how can they be willing to tell the truth?" Zhao Da said with a smile.

He Zhixian frowned.

Song Nian hurriedly coughed a few times and told Zhao Da to shut up.

In front of outsiders, how inappropriate is it to say torture to extract confessions?

Now that there is a clue, no matter what, the shopkeeper must be re-interrogated.

But this time, the shopkeeper was as if he had a seal on his mouth, and he refused to speak.

Even He Zhixian was angry: "It seems that if you don't give you some means, you won't speak!" ”

Zhao Da smiled, carried his newly built set of tools, walked to the shopkeeper, and began to fiddle with his beloved gadgets: "I said, do you have any last words?" If I go on like this, I'm afraid that if you don't have a chance to explain your last words, you'll go crazy. ”

The shopkeeper swallowed his saliva, and suddenly said, "Lord Chu, my master ......"

Chu He said indifferently: "Assassinating the general of the border army, such a big crime, I will personally show the saint, and then ask your master well!" ”

No matter how noble the identity of the emperor is, as long as he commits such a big crime, he is not qualified to serve as the emperor, and he may be angered by the royal family, and he will be connected to the nine clans.

"I ...... I, I said......" The shopkeeper couldn't resist the pressure, and said tremblingly: "I...... I don't know who that person is, but when I took over the trumpet, my former treasurer told me that the real person in charge of the trumpet was ...... Is...... Local immortals. ”

Local deities?

He Zhixian said angrily: "Strange forces and chaos, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister!" Even if you are an immortal, you have to be canonized by my Great Eternal Kingdom in order to enjoy the divine position! Tell me, what kind of immortal is he? ”

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly: "I don't know either." It's just that whenever there is something, as long as I stand here, I can hear the voice of the immortal god, and if I do things according to the words of the immortal god, it will always be smooth sailing, so we all know that we must worship the immortal god. ”

As for why outsiders don't know about this, Song Nian is clear.

In this generation, the scholars did not believe in ghosts and gods, or they thought they were the masters of ghosts and gods. And the people of Pingtou are very respectful and afraid of ghosts and gods.

So those guys, even if they knew about it, didn't dare to leak it.

"Where do you usually stand and talk to which god?" Song Nian asked.

"This is the ......," the shopkeeper walked to the southeast corner of the lobby.

Burst!

"Not good!" Chu He raised his hand slightly, but put it down again.

The distance is too far.

A crossbow arrow, from the heavenly spirit cover, went straight through the body of the shopkeeper.

……

Zhao Da took down a hidden crossbow from the roof.

Song Nian sighed slightly.

The other party has calculated, and the shopkeeper can only talk to him by standing in a place, so that the bow and crossbow above his head can take his life at any time.

But how did the hidden man know that the treasurer would betray him and destroy him?

Song Nian asked Zhao Da to check the situation around him, and after making sure that there was no hidden weapon anymore, he walked to the place where the shopkeeper was standing.

Nothing was heard.

However, the corners of Song Nian's mouth turned up.

Where she stood, there was a wall on one side and a pillar on the other.

The cracks in the walls and the cracks in the pillars were faintly reflected by metal. This is absolutely impossible to see on weekdays, but Song Nian's preconceived search is extremely easy.

"Pretending to be a ghost!" Song Nian said to Chu He: "There must be a copper pipe buried in this pillar and wall, and that person should be hidden in the ground and give orders through this copper pipe." ”

Chu He stepped forward to check it, frowned, and looked at Song Nian.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? ”

Chu He said lightly: "I took a look, this is not a copper pipe. It's iron juice. ”

Song Nian suddenly felt his face turn red.

It's over, and the reasoning is wrong.

Chu He looked around, then raised his head and looked around: "Ahem." ”

Then he smiled.

"Here, the coughing sound is louder than usual...... "There are a few unusually smooth things here, so I guess that the man's voice is coming from afar through these smooth things." ”

Song Nian felt that he had been defeated again, and sure enough, he had seen too much martial arts in his previous life, and he always thought that there were copper pipes hidden in the walls......

"But...... It's not for nothing that you make a discovery. Chu He smiled and knocked the wall.

When the skin of the wall peeled off, the rust under the skin was revealed: "The house is built with ordinary masonry, but the material is better and thicker." But this poured iron juice on the walls...... I've never seen one. ”

Song Nian's heart moved: "Could it be that behind this wall?" ”

Chu He nodded: "I'm afraid, behind this wall, is this silver horn, the real thing to hide." ”

He Zhixian also nodded slightly: "Lord Chu is really observant. ”

Chu He smiled: "It's just that I've seen some." ”

Next, Zhao Da brought a team of black-armored sergeants in, and beat along the wall where the iron juice was poured, and soon, he found the mechanism at the entrance and broke it strongly.

This made Song Nian can't help but sigh, this kind of device is a good hand against thieves, but in the face of the army, it is too easy to deal with.

After forcibly dismantling the iron gate at the entrance, Zhao Da was the first to lead the team to rush down.

After a while, Zhao Da walked out with a strange face: "My lord, you ...... Let's go down and have a look. ”

Song Nian was stunned, what is the situation?

When the three of them entered this secret room underground, Chu He's face darkened.

A man in an official uniform was lying on the ground, and above his head, a wide-mouthed copper pipe shimmered.

And behind this person, a large cloud of blood stains is spreading.

When Lord He saw the official uniform, he immediately shouted, "This ...... Why is Captain Bao here! ”

Chu He frowned slightly and turned the body of the deceased over.

Sure enough, this person was the county lieutenant of Guangqiu County.

It stands to reason that Song Nian should be very familiar with him, after all, the county lieutenant is in charge of these public security and homicide cases. But after she crossed over, she never met this Bao County Lieutenant.

In fact, speaking of which, there has always been a big doubt.

That's ...... This case should have been investigated by the county lieutenant of Bao County, not He Zhi County.

Song Nian and Chu He's eyes both looked at He Zhixian.
