Chapter 111: The Living Dead

The three of them were tied to the pillars in the house, and Lu Shiqing asked about their basic situation. It turns out that the three of them are all from Hengjiang, and the person who looks like the shopkeeper is called Wu Shiya, who has often wandered around Mozhou recently, has nothing to do, and lives by stealing money, and met two personable sons a few days ago, provided them with property, and arranged for them to live in this Tongyuan Inn, the only requirement is to arrange for his people to live in this inn. And it must be said that it is their family.

Lu Shiqing sat at the round table, his fingers tapping on the table as if unintentionally, "What are the characteristics of those two...'helping' people?"

"Personable, humble and courteous. Be generous. Ushaya swallowed.

"I've said it, change the word!" Xu Weixiang came up again.

Another tied accomplice opened his mouth, "with a smile on his face, and his speech was crepe-like and humorous." ā€

As soon as the words fell, both of them looked at Lu Shiqing in unison, Lu Shiqing coughed lightly, took out the folding fan in his arms and stabbed Xu Weixiang's waist lightly. The other seemed to remember something, and suddenly realized, "Oh, by the way, they are all holding folding fans." ā€

Lu Shiqing listened, his expression froze on his face, Xu Zining Xu Weixiang had a strange expression, as if he was holding back a smile and not laughing, Lu Shiqing threw the folding fan on the table, and said to the three people angrily, "Say something useful!"

Wu Shiya pondered for a while, "Those two people are dressed in black and white clothes, it is very strange, the man in black clothes says that his surname is Bai, let's call him Bai Gongzi." ā€

Lu Shiqing's expression was awe-inspiring, "Black and white poison, the poison on your body was also given to you by them?"

"Hmm. It is said that people are in the rivers and lakes, and they have to bring something to defend themselves, but this is not a little tight recently, and the money they give can't pay for the food and lodging of these people, so we want to grab a sum, but I didn't expect it to be discovered by you. ā€

Lu Shiqing frowned, he always felt that things were not so simple, Xu Zining was also deeply suspicious of what they said, he had always kept Li Zifeng's words in mind, he had to be cautious in everything, and he had to listen to the key points when he was obedient, since Li Zifeng's accident, he also followed this, and he was much more stable than before.

Seeing Lu Shiqing give himself a look, he immediately took out a dagger from his arms, walked over and squatted in front of Wu Shiya, the tip of the knife was against his chin, Wu Shiya said in a trembling voice, "What are you going to do, I told everything I know, there is really nothing to explain, let alone where they went!"

Xu Zining said with a smile, "Then can you tell me who the people they brought are?"

"I really don't know! I'm just following people's orders and taking money to do things, what they do, and who they bring, we really don't know!"

"As I told you, you just want to steal your property, so do you use poison?"

"Oops!" Xu Weixiang followed and fanned the flames, and said impatiently, "If you want me to say, you can kill one person with a knife, and you will die in a hurry!"

"Spare your life, spare your life!"

The man next to him said anxiously, "I said boss, you just said it! Losing your life for them is not worth it!"

"I—" Wu Shiya hesitated for a while, seeing that the tip of the knife was about to pierce into the skin, and finally made up her mind, "I really don't know what they do, only that they are going to go to meet a friend, and they say they are going to make a big deal." ā€

"Big deal, big deal?"

"It seems to be ......" Before the words were finished, the three of them convulsed at the same time as if they had been poisoned, and then they bled and fell to the ground and died!

"There are assassins?!"

Lu Shiqing sighed, "They were killed. ā€

"How come? I kept looking outside, and there was no suspicious sign!" Xu Weixiang was puzzled, since the beginning of the interrogation, he has been guarding the door of the room, for fear of any accidents.

Lu Shiqing looked at the water on the ground, and then at the water in the bowl, hurriedly stepped forward to check the bodies of the three people, and hurriedly took out the anti-poison pill from the package and gave it to the two of them, and swallowed another one himself.

"Uncle Shi, what the hell is going on?"

"They should have drunk licorice soup before, and the boiling water he sent was just ordinary poison, colorless and tasteless, and reacted with the licorice soup in their bodies through the heat of the water, and then they were poisoned and died. ā€

"It's too complicated. Xu Weixiang sighed for a while, "It seems that he is a master of using drugs again." ā€

"What do we do next?"

"Pack your things and get out of here!"

"Okay!" When the three of them finished packing their things and were about to leave, the door was brutally pushed open, and the person who came was the shopkeeper of the inn, the middle-aged uncle with a beard on his face. He was followed by a few followers.

"Shopkeeper?" Xu Zining and Xu Weixiang were puzzled, and they didn't know what to do.

And Lu Shiqing's expression was calm, as if he had vaguely guessed something, just waiting for the other party's next step, the uncle was still smiling all over his face, it seemed to be a courtesy for hospitality, "Where are you going in a hurry in the middle of the night?"

Lu Shiqing smiled and looked at the three corpses on the ground, "Under my nose, three people have been killed, it's too unsafe here, we have to leave." ā€

"Are a few guest officers blaming me for my poor hospitality?" the middle-aged uncle smirked.

"You killed them?"

The uncle looked dissatisfied, "What does Brother Lu mean by this? How can I say that I killed him? The climate here is dry, and I just kindly gave them licorice soup to reduce their anger." Who knows that they don't know what to do. ā€

After hearing this, Lu Shiqing was even more sure of the guess in his heart, and Xu Zining also found out what he called Lu Shiqing, so he whispered in his ear, "Uncle Shi, do you know each other?"

Lu Shiqing smiled calmly, "Our old friend." ā€

The two looked at each other, not knowing why, "What?"

"Haha......" The middle-aged uncle laughed loudly and mocked, "It's still your Uncle Lu who has eyesight." After that, he stretched out his hand and waved slowly on his face, and in an instant, a thin layer of skin was peeled off, and the three of them finally saw his face clearly, where is this middle-aged uncle, it is clearly Ashqi who has long been 'dead'!

Xu Zining and Xu Weixiang widened their eyes and said in surprise, "Ash, you're not dead?!"

Ash Qi smiled gloomily and shook his head helplessly, "Your Xing Wei Mansion in the Central Plains sounds terrible, but you can't help me. What a pity!"

It turned out that after Ashqi was escorted to Xing Weifu, he was directly detained and was not executed. Later, when he heard that Emperor Zhu Xingzhan was going to kill him, when the guards brought the poisonous wine, he secretly took the fake death medicine he carried with him, and then used the blinding method to pour the poisonous wine on the ground when he drank the poisonous wine. The fake death pill worked, and it was in a state of suspended animation, and everyone thought that Ashqi was dead, so they carried his 'corpse' out, and then announced that Ashqi had been given death by the emperor.

Ashqi finally escaped from the world!

Lu Shiqing had a calm face from beginning to end, and there were no emotional ups and downs, as if everything was expected by him, "Then what are you going to do next?"

"When old friends meet, they have to catch up. Saying that, Ashqi made a 'please' motion, "Three old friends, please!"

"Where?"

"You'll know when you go. I advise you not to resist, or I may not know what I will do. ā€

"Good. Lu Shiqing responded happily, and the other two had nothing to do for the time being, so they had to follow, and a group of more than a dozen people rushed out of the Tongyuan Inn and went in an unknown direction, what Ashqi and the others didn't know was that not far behind them, there were two figures, quietly following.
