Chapter 124: The Palace Hijacking Case Solved (1)
After a rush of shouts and footsteps, calm returned to the tunnel.
"What are they doing?"
Wu Qinghui's voice was very low.
"Looks like they're planting something."
Su Qinqin shook her head.
"Closer."
The two of them moved some distance closer to the firelight, and now they heard even more movement.
"There was the sound of hoeing."
Wu Qinghui turned his head and looked at Su Qinqin, but found that Su Qinqin's face was not quite right at this time.
"What's wrong?"
Su Qinqin said suspiciously
"Qinghui, do you feel that there is a very familiar smell?"
Wu Qinghui sniffed lightly twice, and his eyes moved.
"It seems to be!"
She sniffed twice, and her eyes widened suddenly.
"The eunuchs who slaughtered the forbidden army a few days ago smelled like this!"
Su Qinqin's eyes are also bright, this is indeed the taste!
"Let's take a closer look."
The two men continued on until they were within twenty feet of the two officers and soldiers.
The tunnel was very dark, and even if the officer and soldier were holding torches, they could only shine less than a foot in front of them, so the two of them were hiding in the dark against the mud wall, and it was not easy to be noticed.
At this point, the ground was back to the dirt ground, and the officer was hoeing the ground with a hoe, and after only a few strokes, another officer with a torch handed him something, and then he planted it in the pit he had just dug, and bulldozed the dirt with his hoe.
"That's it, so many tweeds, I don't know when they will be planted."
"The rest of the people at the major nodes should have started work by now, and the people in the palace have been sent in the past few days."
"It's not that there are a few nodes in the downtown area, and you can't send people."
"Coincidentally, the one next to us is the old man's house, and we didn't send anyone, so we have to go there and continue to do it after we finish working here."
As he spoke, the officer and soldier suddenly raised the torch in their hands to Wu Qinghui and the others, and the two of them broke out in a cold sweat.
Then, the officer and soldier actually walked this way!
The two of them were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe!
The light of the fire drew closer and closer to the two of them, and the two of them curled up together, clinging to the mud wall, hoping to sink their bodies into the mud wall.
It wasn't until the light of the fire reached a distance of about ten zhang that it finally stopped, and the officer and soldier waved the torch in his hand and said with a smile
"You see, there's no end in sight ahead, and there's no way this tunnel leads."
The officers and soldiers who were still holding hoes in place stretched their waists and said weakly
"Whatever, I just want to get done early and go home to sleep."
The officer and soldier with the torch walked back again, Su Qinqin and Wu Qinghui didn't dare to stay here anymore, and secretly moved backwards until the distance was far enough, and the two quickly ran back.
"How's it going? Did you see those officers and soldiers? ”
Liu Niangzi has recovered her spirits, and Hu Niangzi has also woken up.
Su Qinqin said
"When I saw it, they seemed to be planting flowers in this tunnel."
"Planting flowers? It's so dark here, can flowers live, besides, so many officers and soldiers come to this kind of flower, and they are in a panic? ”
"Don't talk about it, let's go back, it looks like we can only go here today."
Wu Qinghui wiped the cold sweat on her head, and the paragraph just now really surprised her enough.
"Then let's go back first."
Su Qinqin also said.
In the city lord's mansion.
Yan Sihai was exercising pranayama in the courtyard.
Hu Qi walked in, followed by a large group of Jianghu people.
Yan Sihai slowly opened his eyes and looked at the immortal flowers placed on the side.
"Mr. Ghost Doctor, seven days have passed, you are too leisurely."
Chang Sheng has no news so far, and Hu Qi saw that Yan Sihai still had time to practice, so he was even more anxious to scratch his ears and cheeks.
"What, I shook a lot of people, is it useful?"
Yan Sihai glanced at them, Hu Qi was even more angry, and said secretly, it is better than you sitting here.
"Okay, it's almost time, but it's time for us to pick up the baby."
Yan Sihai stood up and said suddenly.
These words caused Hu Qi and the others to look dazed.
"Let's go, why are you stunned, don't you have to look for Shengwazi every day."
As he spoke, Yan Sihai grabbed the flower pot on the side, his figure flashed, and he quickly jumped out of the City Lord's Mansion.
It's just that as soon as he went out, he saw Yan Sihai stopped on the street again, and was about to step forward to ask, only to see Yan Sihai staring at the flower pot in his hand.
The long-lived buds in the pot unexpectedly moved, but I saw that the flower branches were strangely bent and slowly pointed towards the west.
Yan Sihai smiled slightly
"Haha, I'm really in a hurry."
Then he rushed out of Taiyang Road and headed towards the west, and along the way, the immortal flower was like a spirit, constantly guiding Yan Sihai.
A group of people ran wildly on the street for a quarter of an hour, and finally stopped in front of Lu's steamed bun shop on Handmade Street.
"This is the place."
Yan Sihai's eyes condensed slightly, and he said in a deep voice.
"Can this flower still recognize its owner?"
Hu Qiqi said.
The people behind him also said
"It's worthy of being the flower of Chang Sheng's sister."
At this time, the door of the bun shop had been smashed open by the Taiyang Mansion soldiers who came earlier, but there was no one inside.
Yan Sihai and others walked into the steamed bun shop and searched for a long time, but no one could find it except for the old couple in the steamed bun shop.
"There's the smell of Manju Sawa here."
Yan Sihai's nose was very smart, and he immediately smelled the smell of those eunuchs.
"Where are they?"
Hu Qi picked up the old couple and scolded angrily.
The old couple had never seen such a fierce scene, and their eyes kept glancing at the back door.
At the same time, Yan Sihai also heard violent footsteps coming out of the back door.
"Back door!"
They quickly rushed to the back door.
rushed to the back door, but saw that the group of eunuchs were leaving from the back door with four people tied up, and Chang Sheng was among them.
Yan Sihai shouted
"Stop."
Wang Huan was slightly surprised when he saw Yan Sihai
"Mr. Ghost Doctor, how did you find this place?"
This group of Jianghu people quickly surrounded Wang Huan and others in the backyard.
Yan Sihai smiled and suddenly shouted
"Manager Wang, let go of Shengwazi."
Chang Sheng saw Lao Yan and complained
"Why did you come so late?"
Yan Sihai shouted wronged and picked up the flower in his hand.
"You'll have to ask it, and after a few days, it's only now that it finds out you're gone."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Wang Huan suddenly realized and sighed
"The Red Flower City Lord Bing Xue is smart, it turned out that he pretended to be arrested in order to find the Second Sage."
Yan Sihai shook his hand and threw the flower to Chang Sheng, and those eunuchs saw the flower as if they had seen a ghost, and they avoided Chang Sheng one after another.
Chang Sheng took the flower and glanced at Yan Sihai.
"What if it's broken."
Then he looked at Wang Huan and said
"Manager Wang is sorry, my little sister really has no choice, although I found the trace of the saint on the lake outside the palace that day, but unfortunately I went a step late, the saint has already been transferred by you, I don't know where to go, so I can only make this decision, let you take me to find the second saint."
At this time, Hu Qi also understood.
"Oh! So on that day you deliberately threw the flowers to the ghost doctor to save me, so that they could take you away. ”
Chang Sheng walked to the other three people who were tied up by the group of eunuchs on the side, and one of the middle-aged men and women was gagged, looking at Chang Sheng urgently.
Chang Sheng chuckled and saluted them.
"Second Sage, I'm sorry, Chang Sheng is late."
These two people are actually the emperor and the emperor and queen who were robbed from the palace, at this time they were changed into plain clothes, if they have not seen the two saints, I am afraid they really can't recognize it.
Chang Sheng approached, and those eunuchs avoided him as if they were ghosts, grabbing the second saint and taking two steps back.
"Don't come here!"
Those eunuchs looked at Chang Sheng warily.
Chang Sheng stopped, no longer entangled, and continued
"That day, Xiao Zhong came to me and told me that on the night after the robbery of the Human Emperor, he heard the sound of falling water on the other side of the lake, and found a green-eyed monster."
"At that time, I felt that something was wrong, so I asked Xiao Zhong to take me to the place where the incident occurred, where I was sure that it was not an outsider who robbed the saint, but the eunuch in the palace, and this also reminded me that what Ji Shen and Lu Ying said that day that a group of black-clothed people broke into the palace was not the truth, because that group of black-clothed people were originally from the palace."
"One thing I couldn't figure out at first was that even with the help of Governor Wang, this group of black-clothed people wanted to come and go freely in the heavily guarded palace, if they weren't masters above the grandmaster level, it would be a fantasy."
"Now it seems that the whole process of the human emperor's hijacking case should be like this, Chief Wang, you have already poisoned this group of eunuchs under your command, just wait for the day of the incident, let the two subordinates carry the poison and go to find Ji Shen and Lu Ying who were on duty that night, those two little eunuchs took advantage of Ji Shen and Lu Ying's unpreparedness and knocked down the two, so far, what Ji Shen and Lu Ying said is still the truth."
"But after that, all they said was the hallucinations of the two little eunuchs who poisoned them, and they didn't think that a group of men in black had broken into the palace, but in fact, at the same time, you and your men had already robbed the saint."
Speaking of this, Chang Sheng looked at Yan Sihai and said
"The next thing is Lao Yan's strength."
Yan Sihai took over the conversation, stroked his beard, and pretended to be profound
"The poison you use is called the poison of extreme death, contrary to the nature of Sheng Wazi, after this poison devours the three souls and seven spirits, it can actually recreate the soul, and the person who seems to be exactly the same is already a thing or a person, which is really the only thing in the life of the old man."
He looked at the little eunuchs around him
"What surprises me even more is that these poisons can be passed on to others, but you should have very few poisons in your hands."
Wang Huan bowed his head slightly
"Don't dare to deceive Mr. Ghost Doctor, this poison is indeed very rare, so we don't dare to use it at will."
Yan Sihai said again
"And the reason why you have to drag Ji Shen and Lu Ying into this game, according to what the old man has seen, first, you have long taken a fancy to the Lu family's hiding place, and second, you want to let those two take advantage of the emptiness in the palace to kill a horse gun when the forbidden army is wantonly hunting you, and then rob the emperor and queen."
"I can't hide anything from the two of you."
Wang Huan is still so humble.
