Chapter 89: Taihao Dou Jacob
Tai Hao thinks that only the castle steward can put poison into the castle owner's kettle. He wanted to sneak into Jacob's room and find any clues about the poison. Immediately, he pulled Loshu aside and asked, "Where is Jacob's room?" ”
Luo Xiu said: "In the easternmost room on the first floor, are you going to search his room now?" ”
Taihao nodded, indicating that this was the intention.
Luo Xiu said: "His room is not allowed by ordinary soldiers, are you sure you want to go?" ”
Tai Hao didn't answer Luo Xiu's question directly, but pondered for a moment and said, "Regardless of whether he is the murderer or not, I will collect as much evidence as possible." The owner of the castle is my seventh uncle, and I must find out the real culprit. ”
Taihao reached out and patted Luo Xiu's shoulder to express his gratitude. Then he cautiously hid in the corner of the cloister, waiting for the patrolling soldiers to pass by. When the patrolling soldiers walked by, he quietly joined the ranks and walked behind them.
Finally, the patrolling soldiers came to the door of Jacob's room. But they didn't stop, and Tai Hao took the opportunity to walk to the door of Jacob's room. Seeing a copper lock on the door, Taihao tried to pull the lock, but found that the door was locked tightly.
Tai Hao decided to take a detour, and he quickly found a small window. Tai Hao easily opened the window, and there was a barb inside the window, which he skillfully used to find the crossbar that supported the window, and then climbed in through the window.
Jacob's room was much smaller than expected, but it was very well furnished. On the left wall is a spacious desk, and on the right is Jacob's bed. Tai Hao searched the entire room and found Jacob's collection of precious medicines, some bottles and cans in a cabinet. Tai Hao opened the medicine bottles one by one and found that there was no red powdered medicine.
Tai Hao's heart sank slightly, he originally thought that in Jacob's room, he would find some clues about the poison, but the result was not what he expected.
Suddenly, he noticed a note on his desk that read: "Yi Si's medication before going to bed, give him every other night." ”
Tai Hao felt a little strange because there was no mention of poison. But he decided to document the discovery. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a sound of unlocking, but when he wanted to climb out of the window again, the window suddenly closed, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open it, so Taihao could only find a place to hide in the room.
Tai Hao hurriedly found a space under the bed, and he quickly got into it. Luckily, there was a small table behind the bed that blocked Taihao, making him less likely to be spotted. He heard the sound of the door being opened, and immediately held his breath, thinking to himself that if he was discovered, he would most likely die here.
From under the bed, Taihao heard Jacob enter the room with a man. They whispered, but he couldn't make out the conversation because Tai Hao was hidden.
After a while, the door opened again, and Jacob walked out with the man. Taihao waited for a while before crawling out from under the bed and re-examining the room.
Taihao still hadn't found any clues related to the poison, but he knew he couldn't give up, and he had a hunch that the poison was in Jacob's possession. He continues to search Jacob's room and eventually discovers a strange clue: a secret drawer hidden under his desk.
Taihao opened the secret drawer and found two wooden buttons in the drawer, one with "Open" written on it and the other "Close". Taihao was very curious, and was just about to press the button with "open" written on it, when he heard a "bang", the door was pushed open, and Taihao didn't have time to hide, and saw that it was Jacob Cidan. Jacob sneered, "I'll just say that my room has been rummaged through, and the medicine bottles are all messed up. It turns out that you kid sneaked into my room, tell me what are you going to do when you enter my room? ”
Seeing this scene, Tai Hao said bluntly: "I suspect that my Seventh Uncle's death has something to do with you, please tell me, why did you fight with my Seventh Uncle before he died?" ”
Jacob smiled slightly and said, "It seems that you kid knows a lot, but now that you are in my room, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" ”
Tai Hao was not afraid, he replied calmly: "I believe you should know that if you do this kind of thing again, you will face even more terrible consequences than the death of my seventh uncle." ”
When Jacob saw Taihao's calmness and firmness, he was suddenly a little uncertain. He was silent for a moment before he spoke, "You do seem to know something, but is your so-called reasoning really accurate?" ”
Taihao nodded: "I know what you want, if you kill me, you will never get it." ”
Jacob said, "Oh? Do you know where the things I want are? ”
Tai Hao didn't answer directly, but continued to ask: "In order to get what you want, you went to kill my seventh uncle?" ”
Jacob frowned, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Death is inevitable, it's only a matter of time. ”
Tai Hao gritted his teeth and said, "You are really so vicious, how did you kill my Seventh Senior Uncle?" ”
Jacob laughed and said, "You should already know the real cause of your uncle's death, you must have sneaked into my room to find this bottle of medicine, right?" As he spoke, he took out a bottle of medicine from his bosom.
Taihao said: "Is this bottle of poison?" ”
Jacob said, "You can see for yourself...... said, and threw the medicine bottle at Taihao, who did not doubt it, and opened the medicine bottle directly, but the medicine was not red, but black. I saw a black smoke drifting out of the bottle, and Tai Hao's legs were weak in an instant, and he fell to the ground and fell unconscious.
When Taihao woke up, he found himself tied to a chair. Jacob sat across from him and stared at him coldly.
"What are you going to do with me?" Taihao asked.
"Of course, it took your life and asked you to accompany your seventh uncle." Jacob hissed, "I'm going to kill you, and I'll cover it up." ”
Taihao hurriedly asked, "Don't you want the cheats of "Idle Cats Listening to the Sea"?" ”
Jacob took out the secret book and said with a smile: "This is it, I turned it out of you, you really asked yourself to die, and you dared to hide this book on your body." ”
Taihao immediately regretted that he was too careless and forgot to transfer the cheats to another place. But he didn't give up, he thought calmly and tried to find a way to live.
Suddenly, a loud bang broke the silence. The door was pushed open, and a man in armor ran in, sword in hand, and lunged at Jacob.
Jacob was shocked, but before he could react, the man in armor had already slashed at him. At this time, Taihao saw the appearance of the man in armor clearly, he was Luo Xiu, but Jacob was only injured in his left shoulder. Seeing this, Taihao shouted, "Luo Xiu, help me untie the rope first!" ”
But Luo Xiu was knocked to the ground by Jacob's right fist, and instantly spat blood from his mouth, and when he heard Taihao calling him, he still tried to climb to Taihao's side. At this point, Jacob was about to strike again, but found that his left shoulder was bleeding profusely and in excruciating pain. He reprimanded angrily: "Boy, you dare to smear poison on your sword. As he spoke, he saw that Jacob's blood was slowly turning black. He hurried to the cabinet where the bottles and cans were kept, found a green pill bottle, poured out a pill and took it.
Luo Xiu had already untied the rope that bound Taihao at this time, and was about to leave, when Jacob Cidan, who had taken the pill, instantly turned his face rosy, and the wound on his left shoulder stopped bleeding. Tai Hao was surprised: "What a miraculous medicine." When Jacob saw that they were about to flee, he hurriedly stepped forward and kicked Loshua into the air. Tai Hao instantly got into a mess with Jacob, only to see Tai Hao directly use the last move of "Snow Cat Fluttering" "without a trace". Jacob fell to the ground and could not get up. Taihao took back "Idle Cat Listening to the Sea" from him, put it in his arms, and said coldly: "I didn't expect you to be so weak, you can't even withstand a move." ”
Taihao helped Luo Xiu and was about to go out, but the door was blocked by a group of soldiers, one of whom shouted, "They killed the housekeeper!" ”
Before Tai Hao could explain, the group of soldiers arrested Tai Hao and Luo Xiu and brought them to the officials who came to the castle to investigate the case. At this time, Luo Xiu's body had returned to its normal state.
Seeing this, the officer hurriedly asked the soldiers what had happened, and one of the soldiers said: "They killed the butler!" ”
The official said, "The owner of this castle has just been killed, and the butler has been killed again?" ”
Tai Hao explained loudly: "The butler is the murderer of the owner of the castle, we have found out the truth, but he found out, he wants to kill us, so we ......"
Before he could finish speaking, a soldier interrupted Taihao's words. "Don't listen to his explanation," he said loudly, "I think you killed the owner of the castle first, and then the butler." We just found Ah San who fainted in the courtyard, his military uniform was stripped away, and you were wearing Ah San's clothes, killing the master and housekeeper, and injuring Ah San, what are your intentions? ”
The official commanded, "Lock them up first, and then I will go and ask the commander for instructions." ”
Taihao and Luo Xiu had to be locked up in a dark room in the castle, they sat helplessly on the floor, tied back to back with ropes, Luo Xiu said, "What should we do now? ”
Tai Hao said: "It doesn't matter, as long as we have evidence, we can clear our innocence." I ask you, how do you know I'm in danger and why did you go to save me? ”
Luo Xiu said: "After waiting for you for so long and you didn't come back, I thought about going to the housekeeper's room to have a look, and when I heard the conversation between you and him inside, I guessed that you had been caught by him, so I rushed in with a long sword......"
Taihao nodded and said, "Thank you for saving me, how is the punch you were given by Jacob now?" ”
Luo Xiu smiled and said, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore." ”
Tai Hao said: "That's good, we have to find a way to get out of here now, otherwise our lives will be in danger." When I was searching Jacob's room just now, two men suddenly came in, and I hurriedly hid under the bed, although I didn't hear what they were talking about, but the voice of the chief just now reminded me that the two men, in addition to Jacob's second den, the other was the chief, so it is very likely that they were in a group. ”
