Chapter 165: The big hero explores the truth late at night
Shopkeeper Hong was dragged out of the back hall by the errand officer, and he kept shouting "wronged" in his mouth.
Master Bao had already ignored him and beckoned another errand officer.
In the evening, Lu Bu came out of the house.
Bao Cai, who had been waiting in the distance, ran over.
"The adults have been waiting for Tang Zhuang in the lobby for a long time, and the villain saw that the strong man and Mrs. Zun were alone in the house, and they didn't dare to disturb, so they waited here for the strong man to come out."
Lu Bu's face turned red instantly.
"Xiao Ke has never been abolished for private reasons, since it is called by adults, why not come to the morning report?"
Bao Cai squeezed his eyes hard, and didn't forget to look back at the door, imagining the incomparably fragrant Mrs. Tang lying alone on the bed.
Master Bao was waiting in the lobby.
However, the task that Lu Bu received this time was a bit ridiculous even to him.
Treasurer Hong was kept in a separate cell.
The cell leader, known as the Fifth Master, was drunk and walked around the door of the room with a whip in his hand.
"My lord specially advised, this person is an important prisoner, there must be no mistakes, you will stay here tonight, no one is allowed to approach half a step, if there is favoritism, Lao Tzu will screw your head." The fifth master said to a jailer.
"Fifth master, don't worry, the villain will do his best." The jailer agreed.
The fifth master knocked on the door with a whip and shook it away.
The jailer glanced at Shopkeeper Hong, who was sitting in the corner, and somehow brought a stool and sat next to the door.
Shopkeeper Hong spat at the jailer's back.
He thought that at this time, Li Hui should have known about his arrest, and he must be trying to find a way to save himself, as long as he survived this night, he would not be afraid of any other tricks such as blackheads.
It was getting dark.
The jailer lit a torch and stuck it in the hallway not far from the door.
There was the sound of the fifth master and another jailer drinking in front of him.
It didn't take long for the voices to fade away, apparently the two had left to rest.
Shopkeeper Hong doesn't know what time it is, but after a rough calculation, it should have passed the second shift.
The entire prison fell into a deathly silence.
Shopkeeper Hong gathered the weeds on the ground together, and planned to lie down and sleep for a while.
Just then, he heard a voice coming from the hallway.
It was a very strange sound, like a strange bird flapping a pair of huge wings, and the cold wind that fanned it instantly poured into the cell.
Shopkeeper Hong glanced at the jailer who had been sitting outside the door, and found that he was tilting his head, and a long strip of liquid was flowing from the corner of his mouth, and he was sleeping soundly.
The sound was approaching, and the cold wind was getting louder and louder.
Shopkeeper Hong couldn't help but shiver a few times in succession.
Suddenly the torches in the hallway went out, and the darkness fell down like a mountain.
Shopkeeper Hong has always dealt with antiquities, and when many things were in his hands, they still retained the breath of the ancient tomb, and some of them were filled with a faint smell of corpses, so to speak, this smell was really familiar to him.
He smelled something that wasn't supposed to belong.
He jumped to his feet, his eyes wide open, and stared at the door of his cell.
A large black shadow that required a look up appeared in the doorway.
The shadow fluttered, even above the roof of the door.
It stood right next to the jailer, waving its big white hand from time to time, bringing up a cold wind that made it feel like it was approaching the entrance to hell.
However, the jailer seemed to be unaware of it, and fell asleep soundly, not even breaking the liquid at the corner of his mouth.
Shopkeeper Hong has retreated to the corner.
The dark shadow outside stood silently for a long time.
Suddenly, with a wave of its hand, the big lock that was locked on the door fell off almost silently.
As the dark shadow slowly entered the cell, Shopkeeper Hong sat down in the corner.
The strong smell of corpses, accompanied by bursts of biting cold wind, rushed to the front of Shopkeeper Hong.
When the big hand like a steel hook with the tip of the black shadow was about to touch the cheek of the shopkeeper Hong, the shopkeeper Hong was stunned.
By the time he came to his senses, the cell was still pitch black, and the black figure in front of him stood motionless, not even retracting the big hand that reached out to his cheek.
And the jailer, who was sleeping with his head tilted, did not change his posture, and still slept lifelessly.
Shopkeeper Hong got up, and then knelt in front of the black shadow.
"Hou and Hou have spared the villain, and this matter is really unintentional for the villain."
The shadow still didn't move.
"The little and the villain received an order from Lord Li Hui to ask the villain to find another treasure bottle at all costs, but the villain really has no choice, so he will go to Commander Hou." Shopkeeper Hong half-knelt in front of the black shadow, his body trembling, "If it weren't for Commander Hou accidentally learning the secret of this bottle, he wouldn't have asked the villain to suddenly start murderous." This matter is all caused by the greed of Lord Li Hui, and it really has nothing to do with the villain. ”
The shadow's body shook slightly.
It was still quiet.
After a long time, the black shadow finally spoke, but the voice had no sense of undulation, and there was a chilling wind on the spine: "Isn't it also at the behest of Li Hui to kill this commander?" ”
Shopkeeper Hong's pants were already wet, and his voice was so trembling that he could barely hear clearly: "If it weren't for Lord Li Hui's fear that you and others would find the treasure bottle first, and then find out the secret in advance, the little and the little people would never have thought of killing Commander Hou." ”
"Where are the two treasure bottles now?"
"Now and now it is not in the hands of the villain, the male bottle has now been taken away by Lord Li Hui, and the other female bottle is now in the hands of this adult."
The shadow began to slowly retreat.
The chill in the room subsided.
Shopkeeper Hong knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head.
I don't know how long it took, but the sleeping jailer suddenly woke up, wiped a handful of liquid from the corner of his mouth, stood up, and then walked over to light the torch again.
At this time, Lu Bu, who was wearing a black robe, had also returned to Kaifeng Mansion.
"On the orders of the adults, the villain has now found out that it was this Hong shopkeeper who killed Hou, and although Li Hui was behind the scenes, he was not the one who directly instructed him to kill. The villain wanted to continue to ask about the secret behind the treasure bottle, but he was worried that it would arouse the suspicion of the shopkeeper Hong, so he had to give up for the time being. ”
"Tang Zhuangshi is extremely worried." Bao Zheng nodded and said approvingly, "This shopkeeper is Li Hui's confidant, and he only believes in the return of this Hou Ji because he is a thief, and after he calms down, he will definitely think that it is us who are making trouble from it, and then retract the confession." ”
"The next thing for adults to do is ......"
"Since it was not Li Hui's instigation to kill Hou Ji, then, the official has to let him go for the time being, tomorrow, I expect him to come here to ask for someone, this official can be a favor, and after getting another treasure bottle, he will dispose of the shopkeeper Hong." Bao Zheng said.
"Another treasure bottle is in Li Hui's mansion, how to get it?" Lu Bu asked.
A weird sneer appeared on Bao Zheng's face.
This kind of smile Lu Bu has really seen too much, and he knows that this is a smile that Bao Heitou will only show after he has been completely sure.
