Volume 1: Night Shine Kyushu Ming Seventy-six: Ulterior motives

"When a person is locked up in a prison cell, should he first shout that he has been wronged? Or pretend to be scared? ”

Qiu Shaohu smiled, knocked on the railing of the cell next door, and said, "Or like you, you haven't said a word since you came in?" ”

The one next door was Lang Xing, and when he heard Qiu Shaohu's words, he didn't even look at the other party, and he still didn't move.

has been locked up in prison for so long, and there is still no one to save Lang Xing. The resting place is very loosely organized, and there is no friendship or clear program for them to be together. All that is left is to follow the words of the ushers with their own desires and reasons, and to find the only holy place in their hearts.

The two of them, who had been enemies of each other on the outside, are now prisoners in the prison of the Fu Shen Governor. The difference is that one is still alive and the other, tortured and now like a dead dog.

"Quiet!" Seeing that the errand here came over, he violently banged on their cell door with a stick, and warned Qiu Shaohu: "Don't talk, then this is your backyard!" ”

"Poor master, it's not that I'm picky, but can you be accommodating and change my cell, you see, I'm actually locked up with a dead person." Qiu Shaohu pointed to the corpse beside him and said helplessly.

After the festival, he was sent straight to this cell. Fu Shendu is quite tolerant, but he is not shackled and shackled. Not to his cell, but there was already a dead man.

Qiu Shaohu recognized at a glance that this dead man was the master who was confused by the resting place before, and he was missing an eyeball, and he didn't know how he died.

Hearing his words, the servant did not bother to pay attention to him, and walked to the side on his own, chatting with another companion, and left the place.

"Have you heard, the city department investigated smuggling, and it seems that something big has been found!"

"I've also heard that it seems that Lord Zheng, the envoy of the city, has been taken away for investigation."

"Ah, it's him, if he guards and steals, it can explain why for so long, every time the city department investigates, it is in vain."

The sound faded away.

"I really don't care about me," Qiu Shaohu glanced at Lang Xing next door, sat directly next to the master's corpse, and said, "It seems that I will stay with you tonight." ”

Lang Xing still didn't say a word.

The dungeon was dark, with only a small window at the top, revealing a cold light. The moonlight shines through it, illuminating the lonely shadow alone.

Qiu Shaohu closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes.

He looked to the small window at the top, then walked to the cell door and knocked hard.

The steel door made a loud noise, but there was no response.

The irascible errand on weekdays did not scold at this time.

Qiu Shaohu vaguely thought of something, and turned his gaze to the corpse of his master.

Then, he made an unexpected move.

Sharp as a claw, the finger pierced into the abdomen of a corpse. With a keen sense of touch, he immediately discovered that the corpse's stomach had been artificially dissected and something was hidden inside.

What he then pulled out of it was a bloody file.

This is a scene that is even bloodier than the slaughterhouse, but Qiu Shaohu was unmoved, after all, as early as on the snow mountain, he had not seen a more cruel scene than this.

He didn't know who had hidden the file in the corpse, but there was no doubt that it was a godsend.

Qiu Shaohu kept cutting the fence of the small window with a file, making a "creaking" sound and splashing iron filings.

And Lang Xing watched all this from beginning to end, without saying a word.

Finally, with a "squeak", the two sections of railings were broken by Qiu Shaohu, revealing an exit that could pass through people.

And the file was also thoroughly worn.

Qiu Shaohu suddenly thought of something again, and threw the file into Lang Xing's cell before turning around and leaving here.

The tip of the file also reflects the luster of the metal.

Lang Xing naturally knew Qiu Shaohu's intentions, this file was not left for him to leave-in fact, he couldn't use this blunt file to escape here like Qiu Shaohu.

But if he can't bear the pain of suffering in the dungeon, this file can also be used as a tool for his self-destruction.

Outside the cell, the moon was sparsely starry, and there was not a single shadow of a guard in sight, nor could any sound be heard.

Qiu Shaohu knew that he had guessed correctly, and couldn't help but take a few quick steps before leaving here.

"Wait a minute!" A voice came from behind him suddenly.

In the shadows, it was Cheng Cheng who appeared there first.

What he was holding in his hand was the Karasuma knife that they had seized before putting Qiu Shaohu in his cell.

"He told me to give this back to you." Cheng went to say first.

……

At the table of the Eight Immortals, Cheng Tingdong looked at the records reported by his subordinates and was silent.

Regarding the movements of Zhenkang Shrine, there is no way to find information about the next step, even if it is the person who has just been arrested, they only know that their mission is to attack Zhang Fengrong, and they don't know anything else.

Each of them is like a cog, turning only where it is needed, and knows nothing about what is going on outside of itself. The gears that only do their own things, bite and rotate with each other, is a complete gear set, and their ultimate purpose will be exposed.

Therefore, it is imperative to find the "gear" of that key position in order to know more.

"Bang!" At this moment, Cheng went to push the door and walked in.

Looking at his son, who was still unconvinced, Cheng Tingdong just said routinely: "The matter is done? ”

"All as you command." Seeing that his father didn't react, Cheng Fuxian finally couldn't help it and said, "But I still don't understand why you want to let him go." ”

As for letting Qiu Shaohu leave, Cheng Xiangxian still minded.

"He, like us, is also looking for something about Zhenkang Shrine. But unlike us, we are official families, and the people of Zhenkang Shrine will find ways to avoid us when they see our traces. The means he can use are also more flexible than ours, as long as we keep an eye on him, maybe it will be easier to find the traces of Zhenkang Shrine than if we simply bury our heads in searching. ”

Looking at Cheng Fuxian's thoughtful expression, Cheng Tingdong paused and added, "Besides, I can see that he is a good person. ”

"Good man, huh." Cheng Fuxian didn't know what kind of standard his father was.

"Don't doubt my eyesight, I can't tell the difference between women except your mother, but I can see the battlefield. If you admit the wrong person on the battlefield who shouldn't be trusted, it's not just yourself who will be affected. Cheng Tingdong seemed to be emotional, and said: "That young man, with his unruly eyes, just wants to recover his debts, not hurt others." ”

"Is all he thinking about is revenge?" Cheng Fuxian recalled the scene of meeting Qiu Shaohu face to face just now, and there were some unpleasant thoughts in his mind.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Tingdong asked.

"Nothing." Cheng Fuxian shook his head, for some reason, he always felt as if he had forgotten something.

……

Earlier.

"Just let me go?"

Qiu Shaohu smiled as always, not caring at all.

"I'm just doing what I'm told." Cheng went to return the knife to Qiu Shaohu first.

"Thank you for keeping it for me." Qiu Shaohu took the knife and turned around to leave.

"Wait!" Cheng Fuxian suddenly stopped him.

"How?" Qiu Shaohu turned around with a smile, full of indifference.

Cheng Fuxian didn't know why he wanted to stop the other party, it seemed that it was just because he was unwilling to let him go.

After pondering for a moment, he just said, "I don't know what exactly you're going to do, but, I hope at least you don't implicate innocent people in coming." ”

This is not so much that he wants to warn Qiu Shaohu, but rather that Cheng Fuxian has a humble expectation for himself.

"What else?" Qiu Shaohu was careless.

For the other party's indifferent look, Cheng Fuxian was also angry, the things that affected him had been done, and no matter what the other party wanted, it had nothing to do with him.

Cheng went to be angry first, and turned around and left.

"Wait a minute," this time it was Qiu Shaohu who stopped him, looking at the confused Cheng Xiangxian, Qiu Shaohu said, "What time is it?" ”

"Don't you have your own compass?" Looking at the compass hanging around Qiu Shaohu's neck, Cheng Xiang was puzzled.

"Ah, that's right," Qiu Shaohu glanced at the compass first, and then gestured to Cheng Fuxian, "It's the time now." ”

The motionless pointer, when Cheng Xiang saw it first, suddenly his consciousness seemed blurred.

As Qiu Shaohu spoke, white smoke rose from his hands.

is not only the power of the "Hundred Generations of Wenzong", Qiu Shaohu once again used the incense stick that had confused Cheng Xiangxian.

"Ah, yes," smelling the scent of incense, Cheng Fuxian only felt that no matter what the other party asked, he should answer.

"The things of the Daotai Yamen, where do you usually put them?" Qiu Shaohu asked earnestly, "It seems that once, those servants found a mask in a coffin shop, and where did they end it up?" ”

"It'...... In fact, it was also placed in the warehouse of Fushendu, and it was handed over to us because of the relationship between Zhang Fengrong and my father. We looked after it very well and had some of the guards take turns watching ......"

Cheng Fuxian unconsciously told Qiu Shaohu everything he knew, even where the mask was placed and how many people took care of it.

"I see." Knowing where to find the mask, Qiu Shaohu extinguished the incense stick, and at the same time glanced at the compass for Cheng Fuxian, and said, "It's still a moment, and time hasn't changed." ”

This is to relieve Cheng Fuxian's confusion and give him a hint at the same time, because Cheng Fuxian didn't know that Qiu Shaohu's compass could only indicate directions, but the time hand was bad, so in his subconscious, he would only feel that time had not changed, and this time period of being confused by Qiu Shaohu did not exist at all.

"Am I a little too much?" After that, Qiu Shaohu sighed that he used the same means twice to confuse the same person to get clues, and it seemed that he was staring at a sheep wool.

Ever since Cheng went to meet him first, there has always been some bad luck like a big wrong.

……

Because of Cheng's "guidance", Qiu Shaohu bypassed the strict defense of Fushendu and touched the evidence warehouse with almost no effort.

Fu Shendu did things in an orderly manner, and all the evidence was placed on the shelves one by one, which looked like a variety of shops, which was also convenient for Qiu Shaohu to directly find his target.

Looking at the mink-faced mask in front of him, Qiu Shaohu was not afraid of being discovered by the people of Fu Shendu, after all, he didn't come to take it away this time, but just wanted to borrow it to see the scene at that time.

Using the star map, Qiu Shaohu's consciousness was once again pulled into what the mask had experienced, and soon, he saw something.

A man took the mask and went to a place. This person was not from Zhenkang Shrine, because he did not hide the mask with him, but only used it as a token so that those who contacted him could recognize him.

In a clearing, in the shadow of the corner of the wall, the man with the mask waited for a moment, and suddenly heard a female voice calling him:

"Have you done what I commanded?"

Qiu Shaohu's expression was shocked, he recognized this voice, this was clearly the mysterious woman who was obstructing him in the ruins of the cave.

It's not just a resting place, she also took the opportunity to get in touch with Zhenkang Shrine, what exactly is she going to do.

"It's all done." The person who met the woman was honestly afraid, "Then I ...... after that"

"You continue to do things for me, and every once in a while, come here to find me." The woman said mysteriously.

It seems that what to do next is clear to Qiu Shaohu.

He was going to the place where the man and the woman had met to see what was going on.

As for where that position is, from the scene just now, Qiu Shaohu heard a loud dramatic singing.
