Chapter 46: Clues (Part II)
Mu Yuncheng and Mu Qilin went downstairs, and sure enough, Mo Yiyue was sitting downstairs.
He looked a little tired, presumably he hadn't slept all night.
"What did you do last night? Judging from his tone alone, Mu Yuncheng was obviously a little dissatisfied.
saw Mo Yiyue stand up and said to him: "Without further ado, you can go out of the city with me." ”
"Out of the city?" Mu Yuncheng was very puzzled, but looking at Mo Yiyue's expression, it should not be an ordinary thing.
Seeing that the two of them were leaving, Mu Tangtang stopped them and said, "What are you two doing these days?
Mu Yuncheng frowned, and said in his mouth: "You don't have to worry about this, you just need to take care of Qilin and Uncle Song, which is the greatest credit." ”
"You, I'm sorry, why don't you stay and take care of them!" Mu Tangtang's cheeks bulged like a peach, and his small mouth pursed his eyebrows and shouted upside down.
Mu Yuncheng shook his head helplessly and said, "You ask Yi Yue about this, see if he wants to take you or me." ”
Hearing this, Mu Tangtang turned to look at Mo Yiyue, with a look of expectation in his eyes.
But Mo Yiyue comforted Mu Tangtang and said: "Tangtang, it will be difficult to explain this matter to you clearly for a while, you can stay in the hall first, if it is useful to you, I will let Yuncheng stay." ”
After Mu Yuncheng was proud for a moment, he suddenly reacted and said angrily: "Okay, you Mo Yiyue, do you mean to kick me away when you don't need me?"
"Don't be cranky, come out of the city with me. Mo Yiyue said a word and urged Mu Yuncheng to go out quickly.
The two then left the hall and walked towards the north gate.
Although the outside of this north gate is open, it is sparsely populated, and there are almost no people along the way.
Mu Yuncheng seemed to be extremely honest this time, only following behind Mo Yiyue and not asking a word.
Mo Yiyue walked in front, suddenly stopped, raised her eyes and looked around vigilantly, and then jumped down from a small slope, this small slope is not high, but the person is standing below, and there is no way to see it from above.
Mu Yuncheng was curious, and jumped down, but suddenly found that there was a small ditch under the slope, although it was not very deep, but it also increased the height of the jump.
Mo Yiyue turned to look at him, shook her head slightly, and said, "I forgot to remind you that there is a shallow ditch down here." ”
"It's fine. Mu Yuncheng barely stood up, and saw that Mo Yiyue was pushing the pile of tall weeds down the slope to the sides.
The weeds are so dense that when you push them to the sides, you can see a small black hole behind them. The small hole is not big, one person is wide and tall, hidden behind weeds, and it is difficult for unsuspecting people to find it.
At this time, Mu Yuncheng's stomach was full of doubts, and he was about to speak, but he saw Mo Yiyue make a silent gesture, and then turned around and entered the cave first.
Mu Yuncheng didn't dare to ask any more, so he also walked towards the cave with him.
The cave was pitch black, Mo Yiyue shook off the fire, and the front suddenly brightened.
The entrance to the cave was very narrow, and the craggy stone wall scraped against the arm, which was extremely painful. Walk a little further inside, and things get much better.
The stone walls on both sides open out wide, and the road becomes more and more wide.
"Last night, when you and I passed by Hongxing Yiyuan, we both heard the reprimand upstairs. Mo Yiyue's voice was low and soft, but the cave was empty, even if it was so soft, there was an echo.
"Yes, so what?" Mu Yuncheng asked still puzzled.
"I got two pieces of information from the old bustard, one was that there was a little ruffian named Zhang Si who had made a lot of money lately, and the other was that what he was doing was very hidden, and in his eyes it was great.
So I wondered what he was doing, and I went into the garden and asked the woman named Xihua. learned about Zhang Si's appearance from her, Zhang Si was originally a scoundrel in Jiangzhou City, and recently suddenly made a fortune for some reason, and threatened to ransom her. She had a relationship with Zhang Si earlier, so this time Zhang Si said that he wanted to redeem her, and she was convinced.
And I also learned from her that Zhang Si himself is a good gambler and often haunts major gambling houses, but he always loses more and wins less. ”
When Mu Yuncheng heard this, he wanted to tease Mo Yiyue, but he laughed quietly behind him, and then blew into Mo Yiyue's ear from behind: "Yiyue, you have taken so much out of the mouth of other girls, it must have been hard last night." ”
Mo Yiyue knew that there was a sword hidden in his words, and she didn't want to start with him, so she continued her topic and said: "It just so happened that when I passed by Yongle Fang, the largest in Jiangzhou City, last night, I saw that there was a person in it who was the same as Zhang Si in Xihua's mouth.
Seeing that he was full of energy, I guessed that this man was out of the day and night, and what he did must be dishonorable.
The gambling dice is nothing more than a test of eye and ear skills, I used your money to buy a banker, that group of gamblers saw my eyes, did not want to gamble with me, but see that I made a generous move, and tried to play with me, this four is no exception. I lost both the silver to them according to the plan, and Zhang Si accepted it when he saw it, and happily left the gambling house. And that's how I got to follow him. ”
"What! You lost all the silver taels I gave you before?" Mu Yuncheng grabbed Mo Yiyue from behind, his eyes reflected the red light of the fire fold, but it was like a lot of anger.
"If you don't lose to him, how can he go, and how can I keep up with him?" Mo Yiyue quickly explained.
"You are just making excuses, you lost the money because of your poor ability, and you said that it was a plan. It's clear that bullshit doesn't make sense!" Mu Yuncheng shouted, and the echo echoed through the passage.
Under the echo, there was a dead silence in the corridor, and the footsteps of the two echoed alone.
"That's it. Mu Yuncheng saw that Mo Yiyue no longer talked to him about it, thinking that he was angry with himself. Then he untied the bulging money bag on his waist, handed it to Mo Yiyue from behind and said, "You can take these and gamble again." ”
Mo Yiyue was stunned for a moment, he knew the meaning of ridicule in Mu Yuncheng's words. But looking at the money bag he stuffed at the moment, Mo Yiyue couldn't help asking, "Where did you get all this money?"
"Others...... giving. Mu Yuncheng didn't want to mention his father, so he only said that it was given by others.
As soon as Mo Yiyue saw his expression, she had already guessed seven, seven, eighty, eight. Yesterday, I heard that someone on the river killed the monster Jiao with broken autumn water in his hand, and Mo Yiyue knew that it was Mu Fengji who had arrived in Bashu. This time, Mu Yuncheng took out so much money, presumably it was left to him by Mu Fengchen. And judging from this matter, Mu Feng must have come for the Xinghai Sect.
Mo Yiyue pushed the money bag back to Mu Yuncheng: "You keep it, don't lose it again." After speaking, he continued to preach: "That Zhang Si bought some wine and food on the street, and sneaked towards the north of the city. I followed from behind, deliberately distancing myself from him as I entered the cave, but I didn't expect to be discovered by him. After that, Mo Yiyue pointed ahead with her hand, and Mu Yuncheng raised her eyes to see that there was a spacious stone room in front of her. In the middle of the ground lay a man, bound with ropes, his mouth gagged with something gagged, and he screamed.
Mu Yuncheng came to the man, squatted down, turned his head to Mo Yiyue and said, "This is what you said he found out?"
Mo Yiyue nodded when she heard this: "Indeed, it is because of this that I took action to restrain him." ”
"What kind of logic is this. Mu Yuncheng shook his head to show that he didn't understand, reached out and took off the thing blocked in the man's mouth, and asked him, "Are you Zhang Si?"
"Villain Zhang Si, the hero spares his life, the hero spares his life......" The man cried again and again begging for mercy.
"Alright. Mu Yuncheng stopped him and said, "You are from the truth, what are you doing here?" As soon as he said that, his nose instinctively sniffed, and then he turned his head to Mo Yiyue and exclaimed, "Why is there such a strong smell of gunpowder here?"
As he spoke, Mo Yiyue looked behind him, and saw that the walls around this room were full of wooden boxes, and the contents of the boxes must have a lot to do with the smell of gunpowder.
I saw Mo Yiyue walking under those boxes, pressing his palm lightly on them, and saw that the lid of the box was lifted along with his hand. This is the Mo family's peerless flow pattern star absorbing hand, Mu Yuncheng heard Mo Yiyue talk about the principle of this method in his early years, which is to accelerate the air pressure flowing between the palms, form a vortex, and firmly adsorb heavy objects in the palms.
According to this principle, as long as the air flowing around it can be accelerated, it can also achieve the effect of forcibly attracting the surrounding things.
Mu Yuncheng and Mo Yiyue lowered their heads and looked into the wooden box, and sure enough, it was full of gunpowder.
"The hero spares his life, and the little one doesn't know anything. I'm just helping to take care of these things, and as for the usefulness, I really don't know the little ones. Zhang Si squirmed in front of the two like a worm at this time, knelt on the ground on both knees, and kowtowed again and again.
Seeing him like this, Mu Yuncheng was extremely disgusted in his heart, and said in his heart that this person had no backbone at all.
saw Mo Yiyue raise her eyes to look at the top of her head, and asked Zhang Sidao again: "Do you know what place corresponds to this?"
Zhang Si kowtowed and shook his head: "The little ones don't know, the little ones don't know." ”
"Do you know who dug this passage?"
"I don't know. ”
"You must know who brought this gunpowder. ”
"I don't know. ”
Seeing that he didn't know, Mu Yuncheng pulled Mo Yiyue aside and persuaded: "I guess he really doesn't know anything, you better don't force him." ”
Mo Yiyue shook her head with a smile when she heard this, and said, "This matter is so secret, the person who planned this matter will never let too many people get involved." I believe that this passage was not built by him, and naturally he does not know where it is facing it.
But he must know where the gunpowder came from. I expect him to be a scoundrel, and if he had not had the means to obtain gunpowder, no one would have used him to take care of it. It must have been that the person who commissioned the commission did not want more people to know about it, so he told him to continue to watch over the place. When he said this, Zhang Si, who was kneeling on the ground, shrank obviously, and it was not difficult to see that what Mo Yiyue said was exactly the case.
"You still haven't recruited you yet? Mu Yuncheng squatted down beside Zhang Si and scared him.
"The small ones all say, the small ones all say. I still hope that the hero will spare his life, spare his life. Zhang Si begged again and again.
"Say it quickly!" Mu Yuncheng shouted.
"The villain's cousin is in the business of opening mountains, oh, this opening does not refer to thieves, it refers to digging caves. ”
"You don't need to grind your tongue, we understand. "Mu Yuncheng can be regarded as being able to do a good job against this kind of wicked person once.
"He had a lot of gunpowder there, so someone asked me to get some and I sent it here to hide. When Zhang Si spoke, he looked at the eyes of the two, and he didn't dare to turn around, looking very afraid of the two.
"Who entrusted you with this gunpowder?" Mo Yiyue coughed lightly, but asked him to focus on this point.
"Yes...... Yes, it's Lu Tianzhang of the Western Sword Alliance!" He slurred his words, but because he was afraid of the two, he honestly explained the truth.
"What! Sure enough, it's Lu Tianzhang. As soon as they heard Zhang Si say the three words Lu Tianzhang in his mouth, the two looked at each other, although they had long been suspicious of Lu Tianzhang, but at this moment they heard that so much gunpowder belonged to him, and their hearts were still very shocked.
