Chapter 45: The Eyeless Villain

The water was silent, moistening the ground, and it was snowing heavily, but the cave was still warm as spring.

I don't know if there is a volcano in this place, or if the earth itself is really strong, in short, whether it is moss or spiritual grass in this cave, it is a bunch of raw and a bunch of it.

Jian Wuzheng put up a torch forward, wanting to look farther. But even if the cave was twisted and turned, there seemed to be a hazy mist in the air, and it was clear that the fire was shining far away, but his eyes were wide and he couldn't see the place ten steps away.

There was a gurgling sound, and it turned out that the two brothers of the Xue family in front of him accidentally kicked away a round stone, and the stone rolled down the cave all the way until after a few breaths, the music could still be heard.

Several people swallowed a mouthful of saliva at the same time, glanced at each other from afar, strengthened their courage, and then carefully moved forward again.

Jian Wuzheng smiled bitterly in his heart, he was most afraid of drilling caves in his life, but today he became a ground mouse.

The two brothers in front of them tried to identify the remaining traces on the ground, the stone in the cave was slippery, even if there was no moss, there was some shallow mud, and the man carried two people, even if there was some light work, it was inevitable to leave traces.

One of them, with a slightly heavier step and a slightly longer trace, was evident that the man had slid his steps, or perhaps he had stumbled under his feet due to lack of strength. Anyway, the man slid on his back and hit the wall of the cave, rubbing a little moss on the wall.

The Xue family brothers reflexively explained their findings to the first three behind them, and the two martial artists secretly rejoiced. The footsteps are vain, obviously this person's martial arts attainments are not high.

It turned out to be just a thief who took advantage of the chaos, so the certainty of saving the young lady was a little greater. Just a little quicker, save someone before the young lady gets hurt, and maybe, some reward?

Thinking of this, the two martial artists couldn't help but speed up their steps.

The further you go, the more strange things you get. What kind of peach wood carved little man without eyes, the head of an arrow is inserted in the head of the clay pinch, and all kinds of stone altars and clay jars are placed on both sides of the cave wall.

Occasionally, everyone stopped, and the sound of a poisonous snake spitting out in the jar could be faintly heard.

The two brothers of the Xue family frowned and thought for a moment, and muttered a few words in a low voice. The little man carved from peach wood and without eyes reminded them of a case at the same time.

The case that cost them their official positions and almost cost them their lives.

Originally, the two brothers were in Yangzhou to catch fast, but on that day, the second largest martial arts gang in Yangzhou was also the second leader of the famous Shennong Association in the rivers and lakes.

said that his brother, that is, the big boss of the Shennong Association, was killed last night, and the rest of the family except for the ten-year-old son disappeared, and the rest of the people died on the head of Hua Tuo Jishisan, the poison that the Shennong Association was most proud of.

Who is this big master? Sai Huatuo, who is famous in martial arts, never says that he has high medical skills, and he is even more proficient in using poison.

There is often a saying on our lips, when a friend comes, we have a miracle medicine, and when an enemy comes, we have poison. The Ming martial arts are even more known to everyone.

In just over ten years, the two brothers have relied on their ability to use elixir and poison to gradually develop this originally unknown small gang into a powerful sect under the Ming Dynasty.

Where there are doctors in the world, there are brothers of the Shennong Association.

Such gangs, whether they are rivers and lakes or the government, will give some face.

Therefore, the business of elixir and poison is naturally getting bigger and bigger.

A few years ago, I don't know which big man I offended, so I wrapped the poison business in a layer of rat medicine.

But the prestige of the gang has not decreased, and its good reputation is also rising.

Now, the big boss of the Shennong Association has actually been killed?!

The two brothers of the Xue family, who were on duty at the yamen, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported the matter. The government checked for three days, but found nothing except that there was an eyeless villain carved of peach wood in the room.

Two days later, the second boss came to the door again, and kept saying that he saw the two brothers of the Xue family kill their captives, and several people testified to it.

If it weren't for Song Tong's judgment, which was judged in Yangzhou at the beginning, the two of them almost lost their heads.

But after all, the Shennong Association is a famous faction in the rivers and lakes, and Yangzhou is also the most powerful city in the rivers and lakes. The lives of the two brothers were not lost, and their official positions were definitely lost.

The two cut off their source of livelihood, so in desperation, they relied on some kung fu on their own, and worked as a fast catcher for a few years, and mixed up the rivers and lakes.

I heard that Song Tongju, who tried to protect them, was also implicated in this incident and was transferred to Huaiyin, and went to continue to be a general judge in the place where the infamous little marquis was.

Today, I saw the eyeless villain carved in peach wood again, both of them were covered in hair and stood upright, the posture of the villain, the demeanor of the villain, the smiling face without eyes, can't be wrong!

The people in the cave today are absolutely inseparable from the case ten years ago!
