Text Chapter 333 Rats around the beam

"Aiqing has any magic methods, you might as well talk about it first." Yang Yi didn't know what the hell Wei Ergou was doing again, so he looked at him and laughed.

"There's a special emperor like you, right?" Wei Ergou looked at the gray-faced Yang Yi, and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't talk to you, what, remember what you said, the most dangerous place is also the safest place, it's dark under the light, hehe"

"No, you mean that we went to the government to hide it, did you, you forgot to take medicine, did you die?" Yang Yi suddenly understood what Wei Ergou meant, and couldn't help but look at him with shocked eyes, and said with a surprised expression.

"Are you so surprised?" Wei Ergou looked at Yang Yi disapplauded, "Do you think, we and Uncle Li can't find anyone now, and we can't go to the street to ask from house to house, what can we do, we can only go to the mansion, first, we can see what kind of poisonous plan Shen Ruchao is thinking about next, and second, let's also sneak into Uncle Li'er's room and see if Uncle has left us any clues, Uncle is a person who values feelings, and he will definitely not be willing to leave us, hehe"

Wei Ergou's reasonable analysis really moved Yang Yi, and after thinking about it, he nodded in agreement. However, Wei Ergou looked at the jar on Yang Yi's back that contained the corpses of Fan Yingyan's mother and son, and said with a sigh of teeth: "Let's wear the house and jump the spine for a while, and carry this thing on our backs, how inconvenient it is...... What, there seems to be a Dongyue temple near here, why don't you store the jar there first, and then pick it up later, what's the matter? ”

Yang Yi touched the jar behind him, and knew that Wei Ergou was telling the truth, so he nodded and agreed, and then, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou followed the cover of the night, and touched the adobe house that was only 500 meters away from the government and could barely be called the City God Temple.

The adobe house was originally a girl temple built by a wealthy family in Cangzhou City to commemorate his dead daughter, and later because the dead woman was nostalgic for the world, always making waves in the temple, and was invited by Shen Ruchao's predecessor to a mage, casting a spell to send the female ghost to the underworld to eliminate karma, the girl temple was abandoned, and the local Baojia should be begged by the people, and the county was sued, and those people took the initiative to raise money to make up money, so the girl temple was changed to a Dongyue temple, of course, its scale is far less than the majestic Dongyue Temple in Beijing City or other cities, It's just a statue of the Emperor Dongyue, there are crowded and interspersed with the tablet of the seventy-six gods, some good men and women go to the incense to pray for blessings, complain about the bitter water, but it is also prosperous for a while, but later Cangzhou City is in the flames of war, the people are not happy, the people only care about saving their lives, where is there still the heart to worship the gods and incense, leaving only an old Taoist priest looking at the temple, it is cold and deserted, the door can be full of birds, and the jar containing the corpse soul of Fan Yingyan's mother and son is placed there, It's a great place to be disturbed or stolen.

After making up their minds, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou observed for a while a hundred meters away from Dongyue Temple, and when they saw that there was no one around, they turned over, crossed the low wall of the Dongyue Temple, and entered the courtyard.

In the bitter cold of winter, the old Taoist priest who watched the temple curled up in the room early, lit an oil lamp, and a silhouette of a toast and a solitary drink appeared on the oil-paper wooden window.

Yang Yi and Wei Ergou tiptoed into the temple, and the statue of the Emperor Dongyue, which was not very tall, was already covered with cobwebs and dust, and looked more like a down-and-out talent.

Yang Yi and Wei Ergou looked at the gray-eyed Dongyue Emperor sympathetically, and felt a little unbearable, seeing that there was incense on the offering table that was also squeezed with copper coins thick, they lit three, bowed three times and inserted it in the incense burner, and then put the jar containing the corpse of Fan Yingyan's mother and son behind the curtain that drooped to the ground under the offering table and hid it, and then walked out of the temple lightly, climbed out of the low wall, and walked towards the mansion at night.

As Yang Yi and Wei Ergou expected, there were many soldiers in the palace and the surrounding area, and the torches were bright, and those soldiers who were loaded with guns and ammunition and fought with open fire surrounded the three layers of the palace and the three layers outside, as if they were facing a great enemy.

"I'm grass, what is this Shen Ruchao doing, Uncle Li is not a Jiangyang thief who kills people and oversells goods, if you want to get him, he will do it a long time ago, he has a good use for these soldiers, it is to relieve his doubts, or pee and whistle in the middle of the night, and give himself courage, hehe" Wei Ergou put his body behind a brick wall, poked his head out and looked at the soldiers who were holding torches and swimming around the outer wall of the mansion, and said with a smile.

Yang Yi also looked behind Wei Ergou, summed up the time, regularity and frequency of the patrol of those soldiers, pulled Wei Ergou and whispered: "We can't get in from the front, do you remember the wall that turned over the courtyard house?" ”

Wei Ergou glanced at Yang Yi, and immediately smiled understandingly, it turned out that the brick wall was the only dead end in the entire mansion, and the main building of the mansion was blocked by the neighboring houses, and those soldiers wanted to patrol to this wall, and they had to go around the houses in a big circle, during this time period, with Yang Yi and Wei Ergou's extraordinary physical strength and foot strength, they could completely climb over the wall calmly.

Thinking of this, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou looked at each other and smiled, and ran to the wall behind the mansion with small steps, it was really empty, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou picked up a few snow cubes and threw them into the wall, seeing that there was no movement inside, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou lifted their breath, stepped on the wall, and climbed the wall as light as a swallow, and then deceived their legs, and fell lightly into the mansion.

After landing, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou squatted in the shadow formed by the wall, paying close attention to the inside of the mansion, perhaps Shen Ruchao was very relieved about the security measures outside the mansion, and the soldiers inside the mansion were not as heavily guarded as outside, so that Yang Yi and Wei Ergou almost all the way along the corridor into the meeting hall next to the lobby.

Between the council hall and the lobby is separated by the soap room, Xingxi Nafu Ya is a typical northern Zhan eaves ridge building form, with a keel (herringbone frame) for the top, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou climbed from the council hall to the keel of the ceiling, stepped on the purlin of the ceiling as a beam, and walked towards the lobby.

Above the lobby, the two sides of the hall are full of palace lamps with dead wind, the so-called high lights are low, the bright lights are forming a dark light area for Yang Yi and Wei Ergou on the beams, and the people below can't see the situation above at all, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou naturally know this, so they condescended, unhurriedly overlooking the below, and saw the "Mirror High Hanging" gold plaque hanging in the middle of the hall, in front of the sea tide screen, Shen Ruchao sat on the Taishi chair behind the three-foot Dharma table, He looked at the four treasures of the study and the quiver placed on the table with a stern expression.

On both sides of the lobby, where the officials originally stood, there were two rows of carved hard chairs of jujube wood, on the left side sat the officials and squires who had heads and faces in Cangzhou City, and on the right sat the personnel of the three classes and six rooms of the government such as the canonical history, the county Cheng, and the main book, headed by the Shouwei Decheng.

Shen Ruchao groaned for a while, and said in a majestic voice: "I invited you lords and squires here at night, there is really an unbelievable, even a big event that people and gods are angry to report to the princes, that is, the demon Li Shiqi, who has been deceiving the world and stealing his name, and has deceived the people of my city for many years, turned out to be a spy planted by Longhair in Cangzhou City, intending to cooperate with the thief chief Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang, etc., and damage our city. Only then did he confess the truth to the official, which really made people indignant, and it was hard to believe! ”

Listening to Shen Ruchao's words that were nothing less than earth-shattering, those people under the lobby, except for Decheng, all had a shocked expression, no wonder that Uncle Li had been in Cangzhou City for many years, and was regarded as a reincarnation of immortals, a bodhisattva who saved the Bodhisattva, and had already become their spiritual leader, but now Shen Ruchao said fiercely that the old Li fairy was a long-haired spy, It is not surprising that this almost subversive contrast has caused such a strong psychological impact and shock among them.

Yang Yi and Wei Ergou on the beam of the house saw that Shen Ruchao was so heartfelt and desperate to hide Uncle Li, but they were not very angry, because all this had been expected by them for a long time, so they stood firmly on the beam of the house, wanting to see how Shen Ruchao would perform next.

At this moment, Shen Ruchao stretched out his hand to press left and right, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then it was an impassioned and mouth-wrenching performance, nothing more than how they were not afraid of life and death to lead soldiers to capture the demon Li Shiqi, but they were lucky to escape the feat, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou had no intention of listening more, but they unexpectedly saw that in the blink of an eye, the beams of the house were crawling with gray mice.

When those rats saw Yang Yi and Wei Ergou, they were not afraid, they just crawled around on the beams of the house, and their mouths kept making "squeak" sounds, looking at the amazing number of mice, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou also felt numb in their hearts, but fortunately, those rats did not come to harass the two of them, but just crawled around on the beams one by one, as if they were holding some ceremony.

Looking at the nearly seven or eight meter-long "one-word long snake array" formed by those rats wrapped around the beams of the house for a long time, Wei Ergou's face suddenly changed, and he looked at the Yang Migration Body and said: "Lightning, something is wrong, this is a bad omen......

"What do you mean?" Yang Yi was also excited by Wei Ergou's chattering expression, and asked reflexively.

"I read a book of gold in the study of Shenxiao Mountain, which mentions ten kinds of bad signs, such as the spontaneous combustion of the incense burner, the abnormal mildew of the tribute, the sudden death of flowers, grasses, fish and insects, etc., all of which are bad signs that the house is about to undergo great changes, and a large number of mice suddenly gathered on the ceiling and squeaked, which is one of the bad signs, just like now, this is called the mouse counting money, it is a great omen......" When he spoke, Wei Ergou looked serious, not like he was joking.
