Chapter 31: Secret Room Suspicion (3)

"What is this?" , The young man named Ji Bin frowned and looked at it.

"Drug", Hu Jian laughed twice, and said, "As long as you take this medicine, the effect of the medicine will attack after half an hour, and you don't know who you are keeping, you are at your mercy, the medicinal power can last for two hours, and when the raw rice is cooked into cooked rice, are you afraid that she will not obey you?" Hu Jian raised his eyebrows.

"It's a good idea, how much is it?"

"It's not expensive, just the relationship between the two of us, I'll give you a 20% discount, as long as two dollars."

"I want it all!" , A loud shout suddenly sounded in the ears of the two, and Nie Xiaohu's foot stepped on the long stool where Hu Jian was sitting.

"Nie, Nie catches the head!" , the two immediately shrunk their necks, trembling like a mouse seeing a cat.

Tang Yibin and the four of them immediately came over, and the people around who were drinking morning tea also looked at this side curiously.

"Bring it", Nie Xiaohu stretched out one hand and spread his palm in front of Hu Jian.

Hu Jian trembled and handed the small white porcelain vase into Nie Xiaohu's hand.

"If there is anything else, hand it over!"

"No, no, it's just this bottle, this is what my father used to wipe on the arrows when he was hunting, and I stole it while he wasn't paying attention, just to make an pocket money."

Hu Jian's speech was a little unfavorable.

"Well, if I catch it again in the future"

"No, I don't dare, I don't dare anymore!" , Hu Jian waved his hands together.

"And you! If you let me know that you have ruined someone else's girl, see me not! ”

"No, don't dare!" , Ji Bin's head shook like a rattle, and Lian Sheng said.

"Don't get out of here!"

"Hey!" , the two of them ran out with their heads in their hands as if they were amnesty, and ran faster than rabbits.

"Hahahaha!" , the people around the crowd erupted in bursts of cheerful laughter.

Nie Xiaohu looked at the small porcelain bottle in his hand, pulled out the cork and fanned it with his hand, smelling a faint sour smell, Xiaohu plugged the cork, raised his hand and wanted to throw it away, thought about it, stopped again, and put it in his arms.

"Gone!" , Nie Xiaohu waved his hand, and the five of them got out of the morning tea shop and came to the street.

Just as the five of them had walked forward with less than a pillar of incense, suddenly an old woman ran over with a shout.

"Help! Save people! ”

All five of them were startled and quickly ran in front of the old woman.

"What's wrong?" , Nie Xiaohu asked anxiously.

"You are?" , Shi Yuning looked at the old woman a little familiar.

"Mother Zhao! You are Mama Zhao! ”

Seeing Nie Xiaohu's puzzled eyes, Shi Yuning hurriedly said: "This is my second cousin's maid Zhao Ma, who has been in my second cousin's house for more than thirty years!" ”

"Mother Zhao, what's wrong?" , Shi Yuning asked loudly.

"Help, save the young master, master, it's gone, it's hanging, hurry, go quickly!"

Zhao's mother was obviously a little delirious, and she didn't explain what happened after talking for a long time.

"Little Stone, do you still know where your second cousin's house is?" , Nie Xiaohu asked Shi Yuning.

"Yes!"

"Then lead the way!"

The five of them hurried back to the fast house, each rode a fast horse, and galloped out of the city, heading straight to Hekou Village.

Hekou Village is located on Hekou Mountain in the south of the county, it is a small village, more than 100 households, Nie Xiaohu and others stopped in front of the door of one of the largest houses in the village under the leadership of Shi Yunning.

It is a castle-like building with a total of three floors and a single courtyard, located at the highest point of Hekou Village, on the top of Hekou Mountain.

As soon as the five of them got off the horse, they immediately rushed into the courtyard, the gate was open, Nie Xiaohu didn't think much about it, and rushed directly into the house.

There was no one on the first floor, and the five of them quickly went up to the second floor. As soon as I reached the second floor, I saw a man on the beam of the house with a ball of sackcloth in his mouth, his hands were tied, and he was hung on the beam by a rope, and the other end of the rope passed through the copper ring on the door, and a big dead knot on the rope was stuck in the copper ring, and a person was laboriously untying the dead knot on the rope.

"Come and help!" Seeing Nie Xiaohu and others coming, Xu Xiaohe shouted.

The hanged man was also writhing constantly, his eyes were red, and his mouth made a "whine" sound.

With a "cang" sound, the Tang knife on Shi Yuning's waist was unsheathed, and with a wave of his hand, the rope was broken, saving the person.

"Quick! Go to the underground vault, my dad is going to kill himself! As soon as Xu Tiancai landed, after Nie Xiaohu untied the rope tied to his hand and ripped off the sackcloth in his mouth, he said in a hurry.

Xu Xiaohe was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly turned around and rushed downstairs, and Xiaohu and others also followed downstairs. Coming to the kitchen at the back of the first floor, Xu Xiaohe uncovered the floor in the corner, revealing a black hole, and a stone staircase extended downward.

Descending the stone steps to the bottom, a stone door closed tightly with a keyhole in it. Xu Xiaohe pushed hard, but the stone door did not move, and Xiaohu also pushed hard, but he couldn't push it away.

"Keys!" , Xu Xiaohe shouted at Xu Tiancai.

"No", Xu Tiancai shook his head, "This secret room is used by my father to avoid robbers, there is only one key, and my father has been hanging on his waist, it seems that my father locked the door inside." ”

"Find something, crash it away!" , Nie Xiaohu made a decision immediately.

After a short time, Shi Yuning and others came back with a thick log, and after everyone hit it dozens of times, they only heard a "bang" sound coming from inside the door, like the sound of metal falling to the ground, and then the stone door slowly opened.

Nie Xiaohu was just about to enter the secret room, and suddenly a pungent smell rushed out, and the head that had just poked in immediately retracted, and at the same time covered his nose and mouth with his hands, and Tang Yibin and the others behind him also covered their mouths and noses at the same time.

After a while, the pungent smell finally subsided, and everyone poured into the secret room. There was an oil lamp in the secret room, and the dim light illuminated the small secret room quite brightly, and the first thing that caught everyone's eyes was the body of an old man lying on the ground curled up in a ball.
