Chapter 524

Fan Tong said in a trembling voice: "Lord Baihu, this, how is this good?"

Liao Xuan's face was also like earth, his body couldn't help trembling, and he looked at Li Qiufeng with his eyes, hoping that he could get an idea.

Li Qiufeng knew that two people had died in this tomb, which was already a big case. And Guan Yu's head was stolen by Situ Bridge, which was a shocking case. The prefect of Luoyang will definitely not be able to suppress this case, but he is afraid that even the governor of Henan will be held accountable by the imperial court. Fan Tong and Liao Gang are just the two heads of the Luoyang Prefect's Yamen, and they may be regarded as the number one people in Luoyang City, but in the eyes of the provincial governor's yamen and the imperial court, they are just small officials with the size of sesame mung beans. In officialdom, it has always been the officials who crush people to death, and after a major case occurs, if no one can be caught for a while, his subordinates will be asked to bear the blame. Fan Tong and Liao Outline happened to be at the scene of the crime, and they were the best candidates to carry the black pot. The two of them have been in the officialdom for a long time, so they naturally know these shady scenes, and they are so frightened at this time that their faces are colorless and their souls are scattered.

Li Qiufeng said: "You two don't have to worry, this official has his own way." These two arresters died at the hands of gangsters, but it cannot be said that they died in the mound. Let's move the bodies of the two out of the mound first, and just say that they were poisoned by gangsters in the temple of Emperor Guan Shengjun. In this way, no one knows the secret in this mound, and the theft of Guan Yu's head can naturally cover up the past. When the official captures the tomb robber, recovers Guan Yu's head, and puts the person back into the coffin without realizing it, the case will be closed. ”

When he said this, he looked at Fan Tong and Liao Xuan, and said, "What do you two think?"

Fan Tong and Liao Ganggang only wanted to suppress this case and not make trouble in the provincial capital and the imperial court. At this time, listening to Li Qiufeng say this, this shocking case can be covered up temporarily, and it is a big deal to report a "gangster who committed murder and killed a public person", as long as he does not go to the criminal department and is investigated and handled by Luoyang Mansion, this matter will be much easier. If you really can't solve the case, you might as well find a death row inmate from the prison, put all the blame on him, and then try to kill him in prison, and there will be no proof of death in this case. Fan Tong and Liao Outline were able to rise from catching fast to catching heads, but they also did a lot of shady things. Finding someone to carry the black pot is the best thing to catch quickly. When the two of them heard Li Qiufeng say this, they nodded their heads busily.

In fact, the two of them still have a layer of thoughts, since Li Qiufeng belongs to Jinyiwei, but he came up with such an idea, then even if he has an incident in the east window, naturally Jinyiwei is responsible, and the two of them can get out of the matter. If Li Qiufeng is not a Jinyi guard, and his martial arts are so strong, I am afraid that the two of them will attack in this tomb, kill Li Qiufeng, and blame him. It's just that this plan naturally can't be said to Li Qiufeng to know, but it is hidden in the hearts of the two of them.

At that moment, the three of them put the lid of the coffin back and put the offering table back in its place. Li Qiufeng knew that there were more than a dozen silver needles inserted on the table, but the needles were highly poisonous, but he didn't dare to reach out and take off the silver needles. However, Liao Outline came up with an idea, took off an oil lamp from the stone wall, and used a flame to bake more than a dozen silver needles on the offering table until they were red, and then knocked all the silver needles off the offering table with a steel knife. After the poison on the needle was roasted by the fire, it had all dissipated, and even if someone accidentally touched the silver needle, it would be fine.

The three of them restored all the objects that had been disturbed in the stone chamber to their original state, and then Fan Tong and Liao Jian each carried the corpse of a fast catcher, and then retreated along the road. Li Qiufeng said to the two of them as he walked: "Two head catchers, let's talk ugly things ahead." There are a lot of jade artifacts in Guan Yu's coffin, each of which is priceless. It's just that tomb robbery is a felony, and if caught, it will be executed, and it will even cause disaster to the nine clans. We are lucky enough to escape from the tomb today, and we must not be greedy. If there is something missing in this mausoleum in the future, I am afraid that the two of them will be on the head, and it will be a little unreliable. ”

Fan Tong and Liao Outline felt a chill in their hearts, and hurriedly said that they didn't dare.

The three of them walked to the end of the road, and the exit had been sealed off by stone slabs. Liao Outline is proficient in the news of the mechanism, and soon finds the mechanism on the stone wall to open the stone door. The slate "rolled" open, and the three of them walked out. When the night wind hit their faces, all three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Qiufeng was about to ask Liao Outline to re-seal the entrance, but he heard a piercing sound of friction, and the entrance of the cave was closed by stone slabs, and it seemed that there was no gap. Liao outlined: "This organ has a reset mechanism, and soon after it is opened, it will be automatically closed. It seems that when Cao Cao built the tomb for Guan Yu, he had already set up this mechanism. This mechanism is not complicated, and it only takes a little knowledge of the mechanism information to crack it. But for thousands of years, Emperor Guan's mausoleum has never been opened, which is really strange. ”

Li Qiufeng said: "Although Guan Yu died and was killed, it was not a good death, but he was loyal and righteous all his life and won the respect of the world, so naturally no one dared to fight the idea of his mausoleum." If it weren't for the foolish person I met today, I am afraid that no one in the world would dare to do anything on the mound. ”

Before Li Qiufeng's words fell, his face changed, and he said, "It's not good, someone is coming!"

Fan Tong and Liao Outline were stunned, their martial arts skills were not as pure as Li Qiufeng, but they didn't notice anything unusual, and when they were about to ask, Li Qiufeng whispered to the two: "It sounds like there are fifty or sixty people, and I think they are people from the government." The two only said that some gangsters suddenly attacked, killed two people and fled. As for the things in Sekizuka, don't leak them. The official is one step ahead, and the two of them are good at their own devices. ”

After Li Qiufeng finished speaking, his right foot was a little bit, and he had already jumped out of two feet, and after a few ups and downs, he went up the wall and disappeared in an instant. Fan Tong and Liao Outline saw Li Qiufeng retreating suddenly, and their hearts were uncertain, just when they didn't know what to do, Fan Tong's face changed, but they also heard the sound of chaotic footsteps in the distance. He felt a pang in his heart, and secretly thought: "This Jinyiwei martial arts is so good, far above me." I couldn't hear anyone's footsteps, but he had already noticed. This person appeared in Luoyang, and I don't know if it was good or bad for us. ”

At this time, Liao Outline also heard the sound of footsteps, and was stunned, and said to Fan Daodao: "My lord, someone is really coming, what should we do?"

Fan Tong gritted his teeth and said to Liao Xuan: "Just do what that Jinyi Wei said, if something happens, he will naturally stand up to it!"

The two of them spoke squarely, only to hear someone shouting loudly: "Fan Zhutou, the prefect has arrived, please come out and see you!"

Liao Xuan was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice: "It's Lao Feng's voice, it seems that our brother in Qilihe has also rushed over." ”

Fan Daodao: "Since the prefect has arrived, they will naturally come with him." We just have to say according to the meaning of the brocade guard, and we can't make another difference. ”

The two of them glanced at the two corpses on the ground, and then walked quickly around to the front of Sekizuka. But I saw that the lanterns and torches were lit up, and there were nearly 100 people standing in front of the mound. The first person was wearing a black veil and a red robe, his face was white and pure, and he was very majestic, it was Han Qusi, the prefect of Luoyang.

Fan Tong and Liao Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute, Han Qusi waved his hand, and said: "Fan Zhutou, Liao Zhutou, this official ordered you to wait for the Qili River to be armed, why did you come to the Guandi Temple without authorization? Where did Lao Fu and Lao Gao go?"

Fan Tong bowed down and said: "Lord Prefect, Xia Guan was originally guarding the Qili River, but after thinking about it carefully, since Shi Tianbao tracked the tomb robber to the Guandi Temple, and then died not far from the Guandi Temple, I am afraid that there is something strange in this Guandi Temple." It was the following officials who took Liao Zhutou and the other three brothers to the temple of Emperor Guan Shengjun to investigate. Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived here, I encountered a sneak attack from the enemy. Fu Zhutou and Gao Zhutou were suddenly attacked, and they were unfortunately killed......"

"What?!" Han Qusi didn't wait for Fan Tong to finish speaking, his face had changed greatly, and he pointed at Fan Tong and said angrily: "Fan Tong, you didn't listen to the orders of the officials, left your post without permission, and broke into this Guan Emperor Temple. Now that two heads have died, how can this official explain to the governor?"

Fan Tong fell to his knees with a "plop", and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, the lower officials are bent on solving the case and found something suspicious, but they are afraid that the thieves will escape, and they will not have time to report to the adults, so they will act privately." The guilt of this matter is all on the lower officials, and I ask your lord to forgive me. ”

Han Qusi's face turned pale, and he paced a few steps on the ground. Turning to the people behind him, he said, "Master Ji stays, and the rest of the people all withdraw from the mound!"

After everyone withdrew, only a short and fat middle-aged man was left standing beside Han Qusi. The man looked treacherous, holding a lantern in his right hand and a beard in his left, as if he was thinking about something.

Han Qusi saw that everyone had withdrawn, so he lowered his voice and said to Fan Tong: "Old Fan, what is going on?"

Fan Tong said in a trembling voice: "My lord, the matter is indeed what the official said. Liao Zhutou can testify. ”

Liao Xuan knelt to the side, raised his head and said, "Lord Prefect, what Fan Zhutou said is indeed the truth. ”

Han Qusi snorted, turned his head to the short dumpty man and said, "Master Ji, what do you think?"

Master Na Ji smiled slightly and said, "Adults don't have to worry, students have their own arrangements." ”

After he finished speaking, he said to Fan Tong: "Fan Zhutou, is the murder scene here?"

Fan Channel: "Fu Catcher and Gao Catcher died behind Guan Mound......"

Master Ji didn't wait for him to finish, so he said, "Fan Zhutou, you take me and the prefect over to have a look." ”

Fan Tong knelt on the ground, but he didn't dare to get up for a while, just looked at Han Qusi. Han Qusi looked angry and said, "You all get up and take this official and Master Ji over to take a look." ”

Only then did Fan Tong and Liao Outline get up and bring Master Ji and Han Qusi to the back of Guan Mound. Master Ji held the lantern and circled around the bodies of Fu and Gao twice, and said unhurriedly: "How many murderers can you see the two head hunters?"

Liao Outline looked at Fan Tong, but didn't dare to speak. Fan Daodao: "There is only one murderer, and his martial arts are very good. In addition, he suddenly attacked with a hidden weapon, so we were caught off guard and caught him in the way. Fu Zhutou and Gao Zhutou were hit by the murderer's poisonous needle, and then they suffered misfortune. ”

Master Ji nodded, held the lantern in his hand, paced a few steps, and then said unhurriedly: "Recently, there have been thieves rampant in the area of Beijing and Hebei, and the imperial court has vigorously arrested them, and the thieves have no place to stay, so they have to flow south in Henan. After receiving the official documents from the Criminal Department and the Henan Governor Yamen, my Luoyang Prefecture immediately forwarded the official documents to the counties under the jurisdiction of Luoyang Prefecture and laid a net of heaven and earth. The thieves were caught by the Yamen of Luoyang Mansion and surrounded by righteous people, and they resisted stubbornly. In a fierce battle, 17 thieves were killed, and only one thief escaped with serious injuries. The Yamen of Luoyang Mansion arrested Fu Zhong and Gao Gui bravely killed the enemy, killed several gangsters, and died in battle. Shi Tianbao, a righteous citizen, volunteered to assist the Yacha in arresting the thieves, but unfortunately died. The government specially invited the governor to play the imperial court and compensate the families of Fu Zhong, Gao Gui, and Shi Tianbao to commend their loyalty and inspire the officials and people of Luoyang. As for the absconding thieves, the government has strictly ordered his subordinates to arrest them and bring them to justice as soon as possible. Please ask the governor to strictly punish the prefectures and counties around Luoyang and strengthen vigilance to prevent thieves from committing crimes. ”

When Master Ji said this, he smiled slightly, and said to Han Qusi: "My lord, how did you do when you read the student's article?"
