On the other side, Gu Jiu accidentally discovered a mechanism after groping underwater for a while. It was a groove, Gu Jiu slowly put his hand in, grasped the mechanism inside little by little, and slowly pulled hard, and with a click, a one-square-sized passage was revealed.

In the painting boat, Zhixian and Shi Qiusheng also heard this voice, and the two looked at each other nervously, and then Shi Qiusheng "pulled" Shaobaisi and left.

"Uncle, go slowly!" Shao Baisi was afraid that Gu Jiu would be exposed, so he said loudly with a painful cry in disguise.

"Good, good." Shi Qiusheng greeted him with his mouth, but the strength in his hand did not decrease at all, and he forcibly pulled Shaobaisi into his painting boat.

After entering the door, after instructing Shi Yushu to take care of Shaobaisi, he left in a hurry.

On the other side, since Gu Jiu was underwater, his ears were sealed by water and a large amount of sound was isolated, so he didn't hear the hint of Shao Baisi just now.

After Shao Baisi left, the magistrate hurriedly went to inspect the box where Gu Cheng was being held.

"Aren't you awake? Where did that just move come from? ”

Zhixian muttered to himself, and in the next second, Qiusheng quickly turned back.

"What's wrong?"

Shi Qiusheng asked as he stepped forward to check on Gu Cheng.

"It's okay, maybe he kicked the box unconsciously."

"Unconscious?" Shi Qiusheng stepped forward, obviously not believing: "The poor countryside has a lot of money and thoughts, maybe he just heard Xie Yunyan talk about Gu Jiu, so he wanted to make some noise to attract Xie Yunyan's attention?" As he spoke, Shi Qiusheng slapped Gu Cheng twice, and now Gu Cheng really woke up.

"Can't hold it anymore?"

Shi Qiusheng closed the box with a sneer, asked Zhixian to be sure to take a good look at people, and then went back to deal with Xie Yunyan.

On the other side, Gu Jiu had already climbed up along the passage, touched the wooden board above his head and pushed hard, but found that he had not moved.

In the box, Gu Cheng, who was awakened by Shi Qiusheng, felt the thrust from under the box, and tentatively smashed the wooden board under him a few times with his foot. Gu Jiu heard the movement and hurriedly moved his ears closer to the plank.

Inside the painting boat, the magistrate heard the movement and opened the box again.

"This official advises you to be honest, there is no one here, even if you make a loud noise, no one will pay attention!"

Gu Cheng was gagged, and layers of cotton cloth pressed his tongue so that he couldn't make a sound, but looking at Zhixian's face, he smashed the wooden board under him like a contrarian tune. The result of this action, in addition to the crisp slap, was also a very obvious thrust from under the wooden plank.

Someone came to his rescue.

Although he hadn't come into contact with the slightest information about the other party, Gu Cheng subconsciously felt that the person who came was Gu Jiu, and it was not like that kind of person and that kind of personality would be ignored.

"For someone like you, this official can make you a black household at any time! Don't toast and don't eat and drink! ”

Gu Cheng didn't take care of Zhixian County, but turned his attention to the box, the box is not high, if you fight hard, you have a chance to "get out"!

"This official talks to you, you are ......"

In response to the voice of the magistrate, it was Gu Cheng's body that was suddenly "smashed", and before the magistrate could react, the box that had been held for Gu Cheng was lifted suddenly, and Gu Jiu quickly crawled out of it, and before the magistrate called for help, he was covered with a mouth and nose, and the dagger was pierced in his neck. Feeling the body under his hand that stopped struggling, Gu Jiu let go of the hand holding the dagger in panic.

She, she really killed Zhixian!

"Woo!"

Gu Cheng's whimper recalled Gu Jiu's senses, and while the dagger was not pulled out, the blood did not have time to faint and quickly pushed Zhixian down from the dark passage, and then took out another dagger to cut off the rope on Gu Cheng's body, and the two also escaped from the dark passage.

"Xiao Jiu, what now?" After Gu Cheng went down, he pointed to the county and said.

"Back to shore."

Although Gu Cheng can swim, due to his poor body bones, nearly half of the way back is dragged forward by Gu Jiu.

"He, he really, really...... He's dead! ”

After going ashore, Gu Cheng probed the mouth and nose of the county and sat down in fright and asked.

Gu Jiu's expression was complicated and he didn't know what to do for a while, but at this moment, the street that had dispersed and most of the guests had deserted suddenly became lively again, and a large group of people seemed to be rushing in this direction. Gu Jiu fixed his eyes and saw that the painting boat time was about to end, and each family came to pick up each family.

"Just don't do it, just tie it up and throw it into the lake!" Looking at the people who were getting closer and closer, Gu Jiu's heart was crossed, and he said that he was going to look for a stone.

"Gu Jiu, are you nearby?"

As soon as Gu Jiu and Gu Cheng tied up the stones, Shao Baisi's voice came from nearby.

"Here."

Shaobaisi came over and looked at the magistrate who was tied up full of stones, and his brain was directly stunned. turned around and directly knocked Gu Cheng unconscious with one palm, and then immediately squatted down to check whether the county was alive or dead.

"He's not dead yet." Shao Baisi retracted his hand and said.

"But now the problem is that if he dies, I can still fight for a chance to survive!"

"It's an opportunity." While speaking, Shao Baisi carried the magistrate on his back and said to Gu Jiu: "Take that Gu Cheng on your back, follow me." ”

"Good!"

……

"What are you going to do?"

Gu Jiu threw Gu Cheng onto the chair, followed Shao Baisi step by step, watched him drag the magistrate's clothes, and followed him into a secret room.

"This is a human skin mask?"

Gu Jiu looked at the person in the secret room who was almost exactly the same as Zhixian and said in shock.

"Put on your clothes, and live in your abduction!"

"My subordinates understand."

Gu Jiu looked at the people who left, his eyes widened, he looked back at Shao Baisi, and asked in an affirmative tone: "You have long wanted to kill Zhixian and replace him?" ”

Shao Baisi nodded undeniably when he heard this: "It's very similar." ”

"How long?"

"More than two months."

Gu Jiu stared at Shaobaisi without blinking, and it took a while before he completely recovered from the stimulation of the killing just now, and then quickly left the secret room, Shaobaisi said that Zhixian was not dead, did that mean that it could still be rescued.

"As soon as this dagger is pulled, he will die." Shao Baisi's voice sounded coldly behind him.

"What then?"

"Leave it to me, it's his life whether it's dead or alive."

"Don't, you can save eighty percent, don't save seventy percent!"

Hearing this, Shao Baisi turned his head to look at Gu Jiu strangely: "It's not that you haven't killed people." ”

Gu Jiu: "...... It's different, last time that person wanted to kill me, this one hasn't yet. "This was killed by mistake when I was angry that I was being used.

Hearing this, Shao Baisi chuckled: "You are really simple and pitiful, do you think that without his permission, Shi Qiusheng can force you to sign a death deed so openly?" As soon as the yamen killed Lu Qiuzhi and destroyed the Lu family, even if Shi Qiusheng no longer looked down on the county order, he would always be afraid. ”

"And the reason why he dares to unabashedly show the 'overlord clause' to you, the person who has helped the county magistrate a lot, is nothing more than that he has blocked the ears and eyes of the county magistrate with his advantage."

"In other words, this person originally wanted to borrow you to catch up with other families, and now that you have hitched, you will naturally be useless. And useless chess pieces, if they can be exchanged for some advantages, it is a good thing. ”

After Shao Baisi finished speaking, he turned his head and found that Gu Jiuzheng was staring at him without blinking: "Uncomfortable? ”

"Nope. I'm looking at you, to see what you're really like. ”

……

By the Jingxin Lake, the "Zhixian" made a big fire and scolded the guards sent by each family.

They looked at each other, not knowing whether to be sad or joyful. The magistrates always wanted to weaken their strength so that they could be better controlled and forced to sacrifice for the imperial court. If they die, then no one cares about it anymore, and they can develop better and faster; But if the court found out and sent a more difficult one, they would really have no bitterness.

Everyone said good things and coaxed the magistrate to hurry back to the yamen to rest, so as not to catch the cold. But the "Zhixian" seems to be pretending to be bitter, crackling and forcing each family to pay some compensation. During this period, if any family wants to leave, the "Zhixian" will follow him, and it will mean that he will follow the other party home and talk about it.

In the end, each family really didn't want to spend it, so each family paid a hundred taels to "send" the county.

"Master, the sedan chair is ready." The housekeeper walked up to Shi Qiusheng and said.

Shi Qiusheng snorted, staring thoughtfully at the back of the "Zhixian" who had already gone away.

"How did you say he escaped? Since Gu Jiu could take great pains to transport him out of the Mirror Heart Lake, how could he let him escape back so easily? It's okay to flee back without a scar, and when you come back, you don't rush to get people, but are keen to ask us for silver, how do you look at it. ”

"Could it be that some kind of deal was reached between Zhixian and Gu Jiu?" The housekeeper stood next to him, and replied while peeking at Shi Qiusheng's expression.

Shi Qiusheng didn't speak, and the housekeeper continued to add: "Master, it's better to let us arrange the inner ...... in the yamen."

"No, it's not time to move them yet."

"Yes."

"Where's Shi Xuyao?"

"Back to my lord, someone just sent back the news, saying that the guards are now waiting in the inn for Gu Jiu to fall into the net."

"Really?" Shi Qiusheng laughed, his eyes flashing with vague emotions, like a ghostly light in the fog.

"Go to the inn."

"Yes."

……

"Can it be saved?" Gu Jiu asked eagerly.

The doctor who was called for diagnosis and treatment looked solemn, looked at Shao Baisi and saluted first, and then replied: "Childe, once this dagger is removed, there will be no chance of treatment." ”

But how could the dagger not be taken out, this is hopeless.

"How long will he last when he's awake?"

"Half an hour at most."

"That's enough."

When the magistrate woke up, Gu Jiu and the doctor left the room together, leaving Shao Baisi alone in the house.

"Asked?" Half a quarter of an hour later, Gu Jiu looked at Shao Baisi who came out and asked.

"Well, with this information, no one can prove that Zhixian is fake."

"How did you do that, why would he, a dying man, help us?"

Gu Jiu looked at Shao Baisi and asked the question in his heart. The latter's eyes were slightly empty when he heard this, as if he was looking at the distant past through memory: "People, it is inevitable that there will be some obsessions, some things that cannot be asked. ”

I don't know what's going on, looking at such a young white division, Gu Jiu suddenly felt that this person might never belong to Cloud City, and it was just an accident to come here.
