Chapter 272: The Fourth Son, Xie Caiyu
Coming out of the ground, Hua Yu said to Qiu Ling:
"Immediately arrange for more crossbows to be installed on the corridor side of the underground prison, so that people can take turns guarding them, and all those who enter the underground prison to rob me will be left behind. ”
Qiu Ling immediately arranged for her subordinates to do it.
"Su Yao, you go and tell Guo Yufeng and ask him to send someone to inform the patrol guards who are still besieging the three inns to return home. ”
"Yes. Su Yao also took the order and left.
Qiu Ling, who returned to the ground, looked a lot calmer, and asked Hua Yu:
"Mansion master, it is a dereliction of duty on the part of his subordinates, and Li Zixu has not found any useful information except for explaining some things before he was wanted. ”
Hua Yu looked up at Qiu Ling beside her and said:
"Your mental disorder has affected your calm judgment. This man is not only afraid of the forces behind him, but also confident that the forces behind him can save him, and there is a great hope of survival in his heart, how can you interrogate something useful if you can't find his weakness. ”
Qiu Ling was ashamed and embarrassed, lowered her head slightly, and waited for Hua Yu to finish speaking before she quietly glanced at it a few times, and several subordinate prison guards behind her lowered their heads and stared at their toes tightly, trying their best to show that they hadn't heard anything or seen anything.
The embarrassing atmosphere didn't last long, Qiu Ling returned to her normal color, and said:
"Does the lord of the mansion think that the forces behind Li Zixu will come to save him tonight, or kill him?"
"This Li Zixu was wanted by the imperial court for seven years, and he disappeared for seven years. Since the forces behind him saved him, they must have had a lot of contact. This force is not even aware of the shadows, so it is conceivable that they are powerful, but since they are not revealed to the world, there must be a reason to hide them. If they want to continue to hide, they must ensure that Li Zixu does not confide their news to us. In this way, whether they want to or not, they will let people settle Li Zixu, or end us. ”
Hua Yu looked at Qiu Ling and saw the excitement in her eyes, this is her, she has always been a restless militant.
"So, I'll stay here tonight to see what kind of force is behind Li Zixu. ”
Dusk is late, and the autumn colors are cold.
In the first-class rooms in the Liunian Inn, the people of Duzun Fort were crowded into this not spacious room with Xie Tianfeng as the capital, and the night was cold, and the heart was even colder.
Everyone was silent, and several young men stared inexplicably at the three Xie Tianfeng who were in charge of trading in the Liunian Inn before.
The man who had insulted Zang Tianye at the inn before glared at him, and looked angrily at the few people who were staring at Xie Tianfeng.
"What kind of eyes are you looking at? Do we want to lose that thing?!"
The third uncle Xie Tianfeng didn't speak, and one of those people stared at him and said coldly:
"You said that you were stolen by someone because of the 'fairy drunk', although the 'fairy drunk' is colorless and tasteless, but when its medicinal effect dissipates, it will emit a strong floral fragrance, when we came, you were still lying on the ground, and you were only sealed in the acupoint, and there was no phenomenon of 'fairy drunk', how do you explain?"
The man opened his mouth, but he really didn't know how to explain it, he glared at the man a little annoyed, and turned his face to look at the third uncle Xie Tianfeng.
Xie Tianfeng had been pondering for a long time, his eyes rolled slightly, and he glanced at everyone before he spoke:
"At the beginning, we did fall for the 'fairy drunk', and there is no mistake about that. But what you saw after you came in is also true, so it can only mean that the person has the antidote to the 'Immortal Drunk', and after he took the thing from me, he quickly relieved the 'Immortal Drunk' in us, and then quickly sealed our acupoints. But I don't understand why he's doing anything more?"
The young man who questioned coldly just now was Xie Caiyu in Xie Tianfeng's mouth, the fourth son of Xie Tianhui, the lord of the Duzun Fort, who was both wise and martial, and won the hearts of the people in the fort.
It was only because Xie Tianfeng supported his eldest brother Xie Caiyu to compete for the position of castle lord that he naturally became his enemy, so there were many discords between the two.
Although the operation that came to trade this time was mainly based on Xie Tianfeng, he was also arranged in it, and an important purpose was to monitor Xie Tianfeng and his gang to prevent them from stealing from themselves.
This kind of precaution, Xie Tianfeng understands and accepts, because after all, the "Replenishing Divine Pill" is too valuable, no matter what kind of consideration, it is also a good thing to have someone to supervise.
Moreover, he felt that he was acting above board, and would never do such a dirty betrayal, and the so-called surveillance was meaningless to him.
It's just that now the transaction is successful, but the "Replenishing God Pill" has been lost, and it is a little weird, and things have developed in a direction he didn't expect.
There are seventeen people in a room, Xie Tianfeng has the highest seniority and the strongest strength.
Therefore, when he personally opened his mouth to make such an explanation to a junior, he was undoubtedly making a conclusion.
Unless the people on Xie Caiyu's side want to turn their faces directly with him, they can't question it anymore.
His seniority and strength have suppressed the voices of opposition and doubts, but the problem still needs to be solved.
Xie Tianfeng frowned and said:
"Contacting the fact that your inn is also surrounded by the government, I feel like we have fallen into a trap. How could it be such a coincidence, that only the three inns where we stayed were surrounded? ”
Xie Caiyu didn't raise any objections this time, and began to think about it.
Although he showed doubts about the third uncle's solution to Tianfeng just now, it was only the need of the power struggle, and he could casually hit the opponent's prestige in the castle, of course such a good thing should be done.
In fact, according to what he had always known about his third uncle, it was basically impossible for him to steal from the guards.
But he also couldn't understand that if what his third uncle said was true, then why did the other party bother with it?
His gaze swept over the two men who had been following Xie Tianfeng before, Xie Caiyu's eyes were slightly condensed, and he moved away as if nothing had happened.
His eyes were fixed on the face of the third uncle, Xie Tianfeng, and he asked in a condensed voice:
"Then third uncle, what do you think we should do now?"
Xie Tianfeng knew his nephew's thoughts, but he did take care of it, pondered for a while, and said:
"Send someone back to the fort to deliver the message, and tell the castle owner the truth. The rest of the people stayed to search for the lost things, and I don't believe they couldn't find a single clue?!"
In the latter sentence, Xie Tianfeng said it with gritted teeth.
"I have one more suggestion. Xie Caiyu said.
Everyone looked at him, and Xie Tianfeng also looked at him steadily, with a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes, but he still said:
"Oh, tell me about it?"
The corners of Xie Caiyu's mouth rose to the right, and a smug smile appeared.
"We can go in two directions, looking for the person who stole it, and keeping an eye on the property that has already been traded to that person. ”
As soon as these words came out, several people's eyes immediately lit up, and Xie Tianfeng also reacted instantly, how could he forget such a simple thing!
But he immediately put on a smile and said:
"Well, Caiyu, you're right, come up with me. Haha, in this way, I have met with that person, and I am responsible for finding a way to contact that person to see if I can continue to trade. You are both wise and martial, and the responsibility of searching for that bold thief is left to you. ”
As he spoke, Xie Tianfeng looked at Xie Caiyu's eyes full of affirmation and encouragement.
Xie Caiyu sneered in his heart, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly:
"The third uncle may have thought about it, that thing was lost from the third uncle, so naturally you want the third uncle to find it yourself, otherwise how can you prove that the third uncle is dedicated to the public?"
Without waiting for Xie Tianfeng to open his mouth, Xie Caiyu continued:
"Besides, the little nephew has some friendship with the third son of the Lin family in Jianghuazhou, and it should be more convenient to find someone than the third uncle, what do you think, third uncle?"
Xie Tianfeng wanted to scold angrily, but he knew he couldn't.
It is a fact that the "Replenishing Divine Pill" was lost from him, and if he shirks his responsibility again, how will the people in the fort think of him.
And it is very likely that the people on Xie Caiyu's side will take the opportunity to fall into the well and ask for the crime.
endured the depression and unwillingness in his heart, looked at Xie Caiyu coldly, and said:
"Okay, then according to Caiyu's nephew's opinion!"
The word "nephew" is slightly heavier.
Xie Caiyu smiled at the corner of his mouth, hum, you still want to press me with seniority? Such a good opportunity to hit the eldest brother, do you think it's over so simply?
"Then the little nephew is waiting for the good news of the third uncle!"
After a salute, he turned around and left the Liunian Inn with the four people on his side.
There were only twelve people left in the guest room, including Xie Tianfeng, and they were all cronies of Xie Tianfeng or the eldest son of the castle lord, Xie Caiyun.
There was silence in the room.
