When I returned to the Zhu family's mansion, it was still dark and it was not yet dawn.

As soon as they entered the backyard, Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi went straight to the viper's room.

The lights in the room were still on, and the poisonous snake was lying quietly on the bed, still unconscious, but it seemed that the layer of black gas on his face had gradually faded compared to before, and it seemed that it had improved significantly.

Zhang Fatzi couldn't help but be a little curious in his heart, what did Ye Feng do to suppress the poison in the poisonous snake's body, which even Lang Zhong, who was a disciple of Cheng Shenyi, was helpless?

Before the bed, the child sat on the chair and could no longer support it, and had fallen asleep with his head down, and it seemed that he had guarded the viper all night.

Ye Feng and the others breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the man in black had not come to kill the poisonous snake when he was worried.

Without disturbing the sleeping child, they quietly exited the viper's room.

As soon as they turned around, both of them were stunned, and they saw that the lights were still on in the master bedroom at this moment, and as before, a person's shadow was still projected on the window paper, motionless.

It seems that it is almost dawn, but Zhu Dashan still hasn't rested, what is he doing?

Zhang Fatzi couldn't help but muttered in a low voice: "This old man, he doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, it looks like he's stayed up all night, what are you busy with?"

Ye Feng looked at the figure reflected on the window paper, the strange feeling in his heart churned strongly again, hesitated for a moment, his body moved, and rushed towards the door of the master bedroom.

Fat Zhang was taken aback by his actions, and quickly lowered his voice and shouted, "What are you doing? Do you want others to find out that we sneaked in?"

But it was too late, Ye Feng had already rushed to the door with an arrow step, and he stretched out his palm to push the portal.

The closed wooden door did not move, and it seemed that someone had inserted the latch from the inside.

Ye Feng thought about it, and with a push of the luck in his hand, he broke the latch of the door, and the door opened.

Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi walked into the house, both of them were stunned, there was no one in the house.

Zhu Dashanren's wooden wheel cart is in the corner of the house, and there is a small cloth bag on it, except for a simple table, chair and a wooden bed, the room has an unobstructed view.

Zhu Dashan was not in the house.

But the figure in the window is still there, what's going on?

The two approached the square table, and took a closer look, there was a low candlestick on the table, in front of the candlestick, there was a stack of paper standing there steadily, the upper end of the paper was torn into the shape of a small person, with a head and arms, just between the candle flame and the window, when the candlelight passed through it, a large figure was projected onto the window, and from the outside, it looked like there was a real person.

Zhang Fatzi picked up the piece of paper and played with it in his hand, hehe's happy: "This thing, it's interesting, there is such a trick, it makes us play around, there is a set, it's really smart enough." ”

Ye Feng said: "Actually, this is nothing unusual, there is a kind of shadow play in the folk shop, which is to use the principle of shadow projection to simulate the image of any animal, lifelike, but we didn't expect it for a while." ”

Zhang Fatzi looked back at the inside of the house, and said strangely: "There is no one in the house, but this latch is inserted from the inside, how did this old man do it?"

Ye Feng smiled faintly and said: "Needless to say, there must be a hidden design in this house, he plugged in the latch, made the layout of this paper figure, and then left the house from the secret passage, unknowingly, from the outside, others thought that he was still in the house, in fact, he had already left the mansion, it was really a perfect alibi." ”

Zhang Fatzi shook his head and asked, "What is he doing when he sneaks out so deliberately? Could it be that this old man also has some ulterior secrets? Besides, how can he act without a wooden wheel?"

Ye Feng looked at him and asked, "He has disabled legs, how do you know?"

Zhang Fatzi was stunned for a moment and replied, "This, it's not all him."

He said that he had been sick since he was a child, and he couldn't walk on his legs, and didn't the rest of the town know about it?"

Ye Feng smiled: "That's it, everything about his leg disability was told by him, and what everyone saw was only what he deliberately let us see, who would go back and really explore the truth?"

Zhang Fatzi was a little stunned: "You mean, he is deliberately pretending to be crippled? In fact, his legs are fine?"

Ye Feng sighed: "Not only is it good, but I'm afraid his light skills are also very good!"

As soon as the words fell, a very low exclamation was heard from outside, and the faces of the two of them changed all at once.

They could tell it was coming from the mouth of the child in the viper's room!

Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi flashed to the door of the master bedroom and came to the door of the viper's room, only to see that the viper was still lying on the bed, but there was an extra man in black in the room, who was grabbing the child.

This man in black is none other than the one who fought with them in the small building before, and he is worried!

His hand was on the child's neck, and the child's expression looked hazy, as if he hadn't woken up yet, and his eyes were a little dazed, not knowing what was happening.

Ye Feng snorted: "Let him go, what do you want to do!"

The ghost smiled strangely, and the black scarf covering his face trembled: "Ye Gongzi is so smart, don't you know what I want to do?"

Ye Feng was silent for a moment and said, "Since you came here and found that we have entered the master bedroom, you should naturally know that we have guessed your identity, is it still meaningful to continue to hide your head and tail like this, Zhu Dashanren?"

Ye Feng's words surprised Zhang Fatzi, this ghost in front of him turned out to be Zhu Dashan? How is this possible?

The ghost laughed out loud when he saw sorrow, reached out and tore off the black towel on his face, revealing his true face, it turned out to be really that kind old man, Zhu Dashanren!

Zhang Fatzi was a little dumbfounded, couldn't help but look Zhu Dashanren's body up and down, and asked with some surprise: "You, ...... your stomach?"

Ye Feng on the side smiled coldly and said, "You were deceived by him." The human body can be camouflaged, do you remember the cloth bag on the wooden wheeled cart just now? He usually tied the cloth bag around his waist, and then sat on the wooden wheeled cart with his clothes on the outside, and from the outside he looked like a bloated body with a big belly, so that even if someone found out his real body moving outside, they would not suspect his head. This is a clever trick. ”

Zhu Dashan stared at Ye Feng with his eyes, showed appreciation, and said, "Yes, yes, Ye Gongzi is really smart enough, and he is not bad at all." But you haven't answered, what am I coming back here for?"

Ye Feng sighed and said, "Do you need to say this, since someone like you has already exposed his hiding outside, if you don't leave quickly and venture back here, it is naturally for money." ”

Zhu Dashanren frowned: "Oh?

Ye Feng continued: "First of all, do you think that although the things you did outside have been revealed, but no one knows the secret of Zhu Dashanren, seeing that the government will send people to seize these private mines and shops in the town in a few days, at such a time, the most dangerous place is the safest, and when you return here, naturally no one will suspect that the well-known Zhu Dashan will have anything to do with that notorious ghost." ”

Zhu Dashan smiled and was noncommittal.

Ye Feng continued: "Secondly, since the master bedroom where you live has a design such as a secret passage leading to the outside, there should also be a place like a secret room, which must contain the money and other things you have scavenged here over the years, and you are reluctant to give up all these years of hard work, so you decided to venture back." ”

Zhu Dashan asked a little strangely, "How did you tell that I hid all my gold, silver, and money here?"

Ye Feng smiled and said, "Take you."

Careful and thoughtful, a man as careful as you would never hide all his money in that haunted little building. ”

"Rumors of hauntings can only frighten some timid villagers and fools, but they can't frighten the bold and clever people, but the rumors of hauntings will make them curious, and find out, making the small building a more obvious target, and you can't always be in the small building, where to hide all the money is too dangerous, which is completely inconsistent with your usual style. ”

"And here is completely different, everyone knows that there lives a well-known good man, a disabled old man, usually you are frugal and destitute, who would have thought that there would be a surprising amount of wealth hidden here? ”

Zhu Dashan frowned and asked, "What you said is not bad, but I think it is strange that as soon as you came out of Xiaolou, why did you choose to go back to the Zhu family's mansion directly? Could it be that I have revealed some flaws that make you already suspect my identity?"

Ye Feng shook his head and said: "No, you have always done a good job, and you have not shown a little bit of horse's feet, and we are not here because we suspect that you Zhu Dashan and Ghost Sorrow are actually the same person." In fact, the reason why we are here is only because on the way here, Viper once told us that all his martial arts were taught by a man in black, and it was this man in black who trained him to become the top killer in the rivers and lakes today. ”

"When we fought in the small building, we found that both the blades you used and the number of martial arts paths you used were very similar to poisonous snakes, so we suspected that the man in black who trained poisonous snakes back then was actually you. ”

"Thinking of this, and the fact that you've killed all the shopkeepers who have seen you, it's clear that you want to erase all traces of your presence here, and the Viper is naturally very familiar with you after years of training, so of course you won't let him go. Although he has been poisoned and his life is short, you must not be at ease if you don't see him breathing, so we judge that you will definitely come here to kill him with your own hands. ”

Zhu Dashan nodded, appreciating Ye Feng's inference, waiting to hear him continue.

"But I didn't expect that maybe you needed to deal with the injuries you suffered in the small building, and we were one step ahead of you, and we were suspicious of your design in the master bedroom. When you came back, we had already entered the master bedroom, and you could no longer hide it, so in desperation, you came to the viper's room, and seized the child as a hostage, trying to blackmail us with it. Am I right?"

Zhu Dashan suddenly burst out at this time, except for a burst of laughter: "Yes, yes, everyone in the rivers and lakes says that Ye Gongzi is the smartest person in the world, and when I saw it today, he really lived up to his reputation." ”

Zhang Fatzi on the side said angrily: "You couldn't beat my fourth brother just now, and now you can't beat the same way, with us here, your secret can't be kept at all, do you still want to die?"

Zhu Dashan said with a smile: "You are right, I think I am definitely not an opponent for Ye Gongzi's unpredictable knife technique, not to mention that I am still injured now, so I caught such a child as a hostage." I see that you and him hit it off at first sight, and the relationship is very good, so I guess I don't want to watch him give up his life for you, right?"

He looked down at the child who was pinched by his neck, and a hideous look appeared on his face: "I only need to pinch it lightly now, and his little life will be over, you are all chivalrous, naturally you don't want to hurt innocent lives, right?"

Ye Feng and Zhang Fatzi glanced at each other, this Zhu Dashan person, oh, no, he is so ruthless when he sees sorrow, naturally he will not pity this child's life, and for a while, they are really a bit of a mouse-thrower.
