Text Chapter 18 The Great Conspiracy

1. Escape from death

Guo Dart Master is so strong\ good on the head, he pulled the slingshot, and several pheasants fell to the ground in response.

Liu Yunqiao lit a fire with a fire sickle and set up a small shelf, Guo Dart quickly faded the pheasant's feathers, but a bag of cigarettes, the roasted pheasant meat wafted out a strong fragrance.

The four of them had been running around for most of the day, and they were already hungry. Two or three pheasants swept down their stomachs, and they all felt tired after a full meal.

The people were still not found, and they all looked sad, and they were all silent and drowsy.

Zong Ruopu took out a piccolo from his sleeve, and the song "Plum Blossom Introduction" was clear and far-reaching, washing away the vulgar.

In the silent mountains and forests, the sound of the flute becomes more and more ethereal, endless, like the sound of heaven.

Liu Yunqiao couldn't help it, drew his sword and danced, swimming in the dragon and the phoenix.

Sometimes light as a swallow, sometimes as sudden as lightning, and the fallen leaves are colorful.

"Plum Blossom Introduction" is also known as "Plum Blossom Three Alleys", a tune is played three times, implying that the plum blossoms are cold, and the spirit of the wind bones blooms in the wind. It is rumored that "Plum Blossom Three Alleys" is the first creation of Huan Yi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Dun and elegant, Wang Hui's madness and knowledge, the two know each other with the sound of the flute, although they do not exchange a word,

But it's a rare opportunity.

The piccolo song is in the sleeve, the long sword is in the sheath, the mountain has wood and branches, and the heart is happy and the king does not know.

The girl Zong has high aspirations, ice muscles and jade bones, just like the fragrance of cold plum Ling Han.

At this time, Miss Zong felt that her face was slightly hot, and the two of them were silent, and their hearts throbbed with a thought, and they were drunk and had a beautiful meeting.

"Listen, what sound?"

He faintly heard a faint voice, intermittent, as if far and near. Everyone else was refreshed and focused on finding the source of the sound.

"How does it look like it's coming from underground?"

"Yes, it sounds far away, but it sounds very close" Thunderstorm immediately came to her senses, and her voice became louder, and she hurriedly stood up and walked back and forth, looking for the source of the sound.

The voice was dull, crisp, and carried a desperate crisis.

Following the sound, it turned out to be an ancient tomb, and there was obviously a small amount of new soil around the ancient tomb not far away.

Guo Gai, the master of Guo Dart, probed the ground with a stick, and the sound came from under a pile of fluffy firewood and grass.

Liu Yunqiao came over with a torch to take a look, and a big thief hole suddenly appeared!

At this time, Lei Yu suddenly tripped and fell, Liu Yunqiao and Zong Ruopu hurriedly helped her up, and looked down - a stiff human leg on the mountain!

It was a corpse, and not far from the corpse was a one-foot-square hole.

Lei Yu and Zong Ruopu screamed at the same time. The torch came closer and took a closer look:

"He's Chen Feng!"

"He's dead, what about my brother, what's wrong with my brother!"

Lei Yu panicked when she saw Chen Feng's corpse, her shout was crying, she was worried that her brother would also encounter an accident.

"Anyone, we're here to save you!" shouted at the thief with the lid of the pot.

There was a voice from below: Help--life.

The sound sounded faint, followed by a sound similar to the crash of metal.

"There are people down there, it's them!" Liu Yunqiao shone the entrance of the super hole with a torch and shouted excitedly.

"Found it! still alive! Quickly put the rope down and pull them up!" Lei Yu was a little excited, and excitedly urged Liu Yunqiao and Guo Gai.

"Don't worry, don't worry. I'll see, I can't put the rope down and pull them. Liu Yunqiao said calmly.

"Why?" they asked, puzzled.

"People have been missing for more than three days, they have fallen into the cave without eating or drinking, they must be dying, how can they have the strength to hold on to the rope and come up?

Liu Yunqiao said as he gestured.

"Nerd, you're right, let's let you go!"

It turned out that the three tomb robbers tied Wu Yunhan alone, and Lei Mo, Wang Diancheng and Wu Yunhan tied them together.

A stick of incense Wu Yunxue squirmed and crawled to the three of them, and rubbed off the strip of cloth from Lei Mo's mouth with his brain, and Lei Mo bit it with his teeth for two hours before he bit off the rope that bound Wu Yun Han.

A stick of incense, Wu Yunxue, used the bronze vessel dropped by the tomb robbers to cut the rope that bound the three of them.

The thief hole is too deep, and there is no tension from the bottom, and it is basically lifeless.

Several people were hungry and tired, covered in wounds. At first, he still had the strength to scream, but then he could only lie in the corner and still breathe.

When Lei Mo heard the sound of Miss Zong's flute, he knew that someone was coming to help, so he stood up and struck the wall tiles in the corridor with a large copper basin with a gap, and the sound reached the ground through the soil layer.

When they were rescued, all four of them were so hungry that they had no strength to speak, and their bodies were weak.

Liu Yunqiao fed each of them a few sips of water.

Then he instructed Guo Gai to return to the city with a thunderstorm to report the news, and bring Lang Zhong and food to meet it.

After three days of recuperation and healing, Lei Mo, Yi Xiang Wu Yunxue and others basically recovered their strength, and the Lei family gathered around Lei Mo's side room.

This time he escaped death, his friend Chen Feng was killed by thieves, a stick of incense Wu Yunxue was ruined by thieves, and Reimer, who has always been cheerful, suffered a heavy blow to his heart.

He had palpitations and horror in his eyes.

After being silent for half a month, he told how he was intercepted by the brothers and sisters of Yizhi Xiang Wu Yunxue and Chen Feng and others, how he met tomb robbers in the tavern, how he followed him into the mountain, and how he was defeated and hijacked.

He burst into tears, full of grievances and fear.

Lei Yinuo's face softened slightly, and he thought to himself: Although this unsuccessful thing almost lost his life this time, it can be regarded as an experience, and it is not a bad thing for a man to go through such a life and death test, and he will not act recklessly in the future.

It's just that the only son of the shopkeeper Chen was unfortunately killed by thieves, and Lei Yinuo felt extremely sorry.

He reprimanded Lei Mo fiercely, and then took the three Lei Ming brothers to the door to offer condolences in person, and asked Lei Mo to kneel and kowtow to Chen's shopkeeper, and serve him like parents in the future.

A few days later, someone from Wufu reported that three tomb robbers had been caught at the Yellow River wharf, one with a black mole face, one stammering, and one mute who did not speak.

It's just that of the three, the stammerer also killed himself by biting his tongue immediately after being caught, and he also had an unrecognizable tattoo on his right arm.

Wu Zhengang ordered three tattooed corpses to be put into an ice coffin, waiting for the arrival of the divine doctor to identify them.

The two tomb robbers were interrogated overnight, and the black-faced brothers all confessed to how to build a strong stammer, and how they were bought by the stammers to steal thousand-year-old corpses in Beibi Mountain.

When asked about the origin of the stammerer and why he killed himself by biting his tongue, the black-faced brother was at a loss to know.

Wu Zhengang has many years of experience in prison litigation, but it is difficult to understand the mystery of this.

Just when he was interrogating the black-faced brothers, Lei Yinuo took the three Lei Ming brothers and Liu Yunqiao and a group of five people to the yamen.

"Brother Lei, I was just about to go to you to discuss, this case is very strange and secret. Wu Zhengang said straight to the point.

Lei Yinuo said: "My lord, but I wonder why only one of these three people bit his tongue and committed suicide since they are accomplices, but these two brothers are greedy for life and afraid of death?"

"That's right, isn't this black-faced brother and the stammering man who bites his tongue and kills himself?

Wu Zhengang paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, talking to Lei Yinuo while thinking.

"My lord, do you remember that day in the forest, I caught the two black-clothed men who were shooting flying needles? After I subdued them with scattered flower palms, I was about to catch them alive, and they died, and they also bit their tongues and killed themselves. A closer look at their bodies showed the same tattoos on the same parts. ”

"In this way, they are the same sect, the same master, and carry out the same orders? If they are caught, they bite their tongues and kill themselves in order to keep the secret?" Wu Zhengang suddenly realized, he turned his head and stared at Lei Yinuo's eyes, and said thoughtfully.

"Exactly! The tattoo on his right arm is the uniform symbol of this sect!" Lei Yinuo said in a firm tone.

"Brother Lei, you are from the rivers and lakes. With your more than 30 years of experience in the rivers and lakes, can you recognize this sect?" Wu Zhengang sat on the Taishi chair and rubbed the chair circle.

Lei Yinuo shook his head and said: "The number of martial arts roads is not like the Central Plains Road, which is well-organized and ruthless. Loyal to his master and superiors like a dead man, it is not like an ordinary famous and decent style. ”

"The head of the person who can make his subordinates work so hard either has more dominance and control than ordinary people, or has extraordinary means. Could it be the Sichuan Xiang Elder Association?" Wu Zhengang has been involved in officialdom during his career, and he also knows a little about the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

"I'm afraid it's too much. Or wait for Dr. Mu to come back, according to his identification of this tattoo, the speculation will be more accurate. ”

Lei Yinuo felt that the emergence of this gang was definitely not a good thing for the rivers and lakes, but based on his judgment alone, he still did not have absolute confidence in drawing conclusions.

Wu Zhengang nodded, and several of them pondered for a while. After a while, he suddenly raised his voice and said, "Come on, go to the prison to see if the two tomb robbers have tattoos on their bodies!"

At this time, after greeting Wu Yunxue and Wu Yunhan's brothers and sisters, Lei Mo also came to his father's side.

The little guy sent by Wu Zhengang came back and reported the result: the black mole-faced brother had no tattoo on his arm.

"Brother Lei, then it's very clear that these two tomb robbers are not the same group as the three men in black who committed suicide?"

"Yes, Uncle Wu. When we were following them, we heard that the stammerer had paid for the two black-faced brothers to help him rob his grave. ”

At this time, Reimer suddenly interjected, saying important information. He had been silent, but now that he had relented, he remembered the conversation between the three of them that night.

Wu Zhengang's eyes widened and said, "Hire, hired tomb robbers is still a new thing I've heard of for the first time!"

"I remember, that night, the five of us followed three grave robbers. At first, the stammerer didn't say anything, but after being asked again and again, he said that he had stolen a thousand-year-old corpse in order to make a secret poison, and what else to add, what was it called, and he said that he had to add it and what it was called. The black mole face asked, "What if there are still gold and silver treasures and antiques after taking the ancient corpse?" ”

After Reimer was rescued, he was so frightened that he almost forgot about these important clues.

"Sure enough, I guessed correctly! A ruthless, unscrupulous, and very weird and mysterious sect?" Lei Yinuo is an old Jianghu, and he has never heard of it.

"Did they boil this secret poison in order to control their disciples? Could it be that the man in black who bit his tongue and committed suicide took the poison they brewed himself?" Wu Zhengang did not lose many years of lawsuits, and immediately guessed the clue.

"Probably. Not only that, we heard the stammerer say that this is a secret weapon that is unique in the world, he has never seen the head of the sect at all, he has only seen his superiors, and I heard that they are going to use this poison to control the world's dart game!"

At this time, I don't know when Wu Yunxue also came in, and his words immediately shocked everyone in the room, especially Lei Yinuo, who suddenly felt a chill in his back.

"Control the world's dart game?" Lei Yinuo's face was a little surprised and panicked. I'm a person in the dart door, but I didn't expect all this to come for me?

"Dad, yes, I heard the stammerer say that, too! Is there anyone going to poison the world's dart game?" The thunder and thunder on the side were also extremely shocked.

"Who is so black-hearted, who wants to use this murderous way to deal with our dart game?Dad, we don't have to be afraid, let them come, I will fight to the death to protect our Eastern Dart game!" Lei Ming said angrily.

"The world's darts are full of heroes, I think they are tired of living. Dad, big brother, I'm the first to kill them!"

The children's common hatred, Lei Yinuo was quite relieved. With decades of experience, he had a premonition that a bloody storm in the rivers and lakes was about to have a harbinger.

"My lord, you might as well lure the snake out of the hole to lure the enemy deeper. I think that the two black-faced brothers must be masters of touching gold, and they have value for this sect. If the tomb robbery fails, we will not give up and prevent the robbery, and secondly, we can plan the two brothers and trap the enemy!"

Lei Yinuo thought for a while and told Wu Zhengang his suggestions.

"This plan is wonderful! Just do what Brother Lei says!" Wu Zhengang patted his thigh after hearing this and stood up.

2. Rectify the Dharma on the spot

The black-faced brothers robbed and excavated ancient tombs, and the evidence was conclusive, and they all took stolen goods and killed people. According to the laws of the imperial court, such felons should be sentenced to Ling Chi capital punishment and be punished on the spot.

Seven days later, on the 14th of that month, the execution was carried out. In the most prosperous octagonal drum tower in Luoyang City, the black-faced brothers were put on three weapons (neck, hand, and foot), plus pot hands, and put into an open car to cross the street to show the public.

The death card has three big red letters written on the tomb robber, and a big red cross is drawn.

The open car swaggered all the way through the city, and the tomb robbers accepted the observation and spit scolding of the crowd along the street. After being escorted directly to the entrance of the vegetable market, an errand officer removed the handpiece and the pot hand, opened the open car and dragged the two of them down by arm.

The tomb robber was already so frightened that he was paralyzed and had no strength, and his legs had lost his strength and turned into soft-footed shrimp and dragged on the ground.

Ordinary beheadings, citizens will rush to watch. What's more, it is a rare thing like Ling Chi, and the crowd of onlookers is crammed into the streets and alleys, and the water is impassable.

After careful arrangements and discussions, Lei Yinuo and Wu Zhengang had already joined forces with the thirteen dart bureaus in Luoyang City to arrange for dart masters with outstanding martial arts, plus the masters of the infantry army commander's mansion to catch fast and fast, to ambush around the crowd, and lay a net at the two entrances and exits of the vegetable market.

After seeing off the wine and drinking, the prison officer verified the identity. The two executioners unveiled a curtain and unfolded it with a flick of one hand.

It was a dozen numbered sharp knives lined up, the black mole face was so frightened that he couldn't raise his head, and the trouser leg called Lao San began to drip urine, covered in filth.

The crowd of onlookers was in high spirits. There are those who are fresh and curious, and there are those who are nervous and terrifying.

There are even elderly people who hold two large steamed buns in their hands and wait for ※ Splash vegetable market to eat people ※ steamed buns, which are said to cure tuberculosis, an incurable disease.

The hour had come, and the presiding officer of the prison sentence drew a big red pen, and the fire order was put on the ground, and the execution began! The first knife dug the chest, and the second knife cut the leg.

The executioner picked up a knife that was not long or short, with a slender tip from a row of sharp knives, and blew a few times into his lips in the air, with a mouthful of wine in his mouth, and sprayed it into the chest of the black mole-faced brother, aiming the sword at the underside of the black mole-faced RU's head.

At the moment when the first knife was about to pierce the black mole's chest, two "sighs" were heard, and the two executioners trembled and fell straight to the ground.

The sharp knife in his hand smashed into the stone slab at the entrance of the vegetable market with a "clang".

There was a commotion in the crowd, and everyone looked around to find the way to the flying needle, and the crowd on the periphery was the first to react, so frightened that they scattered one after another.

In the blink of an eye, another drizzle of flying needles came, and the officers and soldiers standing guard in the front row were put down at one time. Immediately afterwards, from the railing of the teahouse opposite the octagonal building, three people fell from the sky.

One wears a silver mask and holds a weapon that looks like a shovel;

One was as thin as a monkey, and his movements were quick, and a long pipe in his hand was four feet long;

One person in a white robe has long flowing hair, a long body, and a severed sword in his hand.

Xuanmen Sanqi, the strangest alternative combination on the rivers and lakes!

Shadowless, mergiving, elusive.

The martial arts are weird and ruthless.

Spit out two ropes from the trapeze's hand, precisely wrapped around the waist of the black-faced brother, lifted and pulled, threw them into the air and threw them directly on the horse's back, and the three flying horses squeezed through the crowd and dusted away.

"Someone robbed the law field, chase me!" Lei Yinuo's words did not fall, and he immediately rode his horse and chased after him.

The three wonders of the Xuanmen who robbed the law field galloped wildly, and the flying needles on the horse's back were added with sleeve arrows like a storm, and most of the dart masters were injured.

Lei Yinuo did not show weakness, raised his hand to hit the "Thunder Shock Flying Locust", and the silver mask of the masked man was beaten with a bang, and sparks splashed everywhere.

The man in black was dizzy and endured the pain, but continued to gallop wildly.

In the blink of an eye, he walked out of the cave of the city gate, and the distance was getting closer and closer, seeing that Lei Yinuo and several dart masters were about to catch up with the three flying people who robbed the law field.

Suddenly, a cannon sounded, and the sky was suddenly filled with black smoke, and thick smoke was billowing out, Lei Yinuo hurriedly grabbed the reins, but he still couldn't avoid the invasion of black smoke, and everyone was choked and coughed violently.

Obviously, this was their pre-set cover routine, and then this trick, and in the blink of an eye, the three of them disappeared without a trace.

At this time, a white horse rode out of the black smoke and fog, and the light and shadow of the Pu knife in his hand flashed, waving left and right to resist the rain-like flying needle.

Hakuba soon caught up with the strange man who robbed the law field.
