Chapter 278: Killing
I don't know how long it took, Chen Ao felt the coffin board above his head move. He opened his eyes in a daze, and found that he was asleep.
A ray of daylight penetrated through the cracks in the stones. By the light, Chen Ao saw Zhao Ling under him, who was also asleep. Last night, Zhao Ling was crying and laughing again, tears flowed down her face, and with the ash falling from the tomb, she painted a big flower face.
Chen Ao stared at it for a while, feeling a little funny. The hair accidentally touched Zhao Ling's face, Zhao Ling wrinkled his nose and slowly opened his eyes. As soon as he saw Chen Ao's face close at hand, Zhao Ling couldn't help but blush, and remembered his every move last night, and he was even more shy.
Chen Ao was also a little embarrassed, and said, "It's dawn......"
Before he finished speaking, he heard someone speak overhead: "What the hell is going on!"
This voice was majestic and upright, and it was actually Elder Yao. Chen Ao was surprised and delighted, and said, "Someone has come to save us!"
Zhao Ling nodded, but thought that if someone saw this scene, he didn't know how to feel. Not only were the two of them in a strange posture, but the mere fact that they appeared under the tomb made people suspicious.
Mrs. Zheng's crying faintly came, and Chen Ao felt guilty for a while, thinking to himself, this is a bit bad now, and the ghost of her husband will not be at peace. This coffin board saved the two of them, and naturally they couldn't protect the body. So many stones fell down, and the corpses were afraid that they would be unrecognizable.
Thinking of this, Chen Ao was even more embarrassed, and he didn't even have the courage to call for help. But the Salt Gang disciples on the ground quickly moved the broken stone to the side, revealing the open coffin first. The crowd exclaimed, "Ahhh......h
Chen Ao guessed that they must have discovered that the coffin had been opened, and knew that it was impossible to hide it, so he moved his body. The burden on his body was obviously much lighter, and Chen Ao slammed his strength, lifted the coffin board, and finally stood up. It's just that I couldn't move this night, my legs and feet were numb for a long time, and I couldn't stand on my feet all of a sudden, and I almost stumbled and fell.
Everyone next to them was startled when they suddenly saw a person emerging from the ruins. I heard someone shouting, "What man!"
"It's a human or a ghost!"
Immediately after that, someone drew his sword, and the sword faced each other. Chen Ao didn't have time to care about anything else, and hurriedly shouted: "It's me, it's me! My own person, don't shoot!" He was so anxious that he was already a little dazed.
I only heard Elder Yao say "Huh" and said, "It's the helmsman!"
He only said a helmsman, and many people thought it was Zheng Wenping, and they couldn't help but be shocked, thinking that it was a hell of a day. When they saw Chen Ao's appearance clearly, everyone couldn't cry or laugh again. Although I had long heard that the new helmsman was a little unreliable, I never expected him to appear in the ruins of the tomb. Even Mrs. Zheng forgot to cry and looked at Chen Ao blankly. Liang Xiaoya and Long Qingping didn't see Chen Ao all night, and they were a little worried, so they hurriedly greeted them.
At this time, Zhao Ling also got up from the ground, rubbed his hands and feet that were unaware of Chen Ao's pressure, and slowly moved his steps.
Both of them seemed to have experienced a major earthquake, and their hearts were palpitating, and they had no strength to speak at all.
Liang Xiaoya came up and asked, "Chen Ao, ...... you Why are you here? And Sister Zhao......"
Long Qingping wiped the filth on Zhao Ling's face, and found that her cheeks were red, and she didn't know why, so she asked, "Sister Zhao, what's wrong with you?"
Zhao Ling was naturally not good at telling the truth, so he was hesitant and silent. When Liang Xiaoya saw it, she suddenly became suspicious in her heart, and said to Chen Ao: "Chen Ao, you tell me honestly, what happened?"
Those who had the same doubts as her were the dozens of disciples of the Salt Gang around her. They stopped what they were doing and stared blankly at Chen Ao.
Chen Aozheng didn't know how to answer, he couldn't just say that he came to rob the tomb!
At this moment, I heard someone say in a deep voice: "This tomb has been deliberately collapsed!"
Chen Ao was surprised and delighted, and saw Su Zhuo holding a few pieces of broken stone in his hand. Yesterday, Su Zhuo was nowhere to be found, and he didn't expect it to come just in time! Zhao Ling was stunned, and hurriedly stuffed the book in his hand into his sleeve.
This small action did not hide from Su Zhuo's eyes. Seeing this, he had already guessed what was going on, and thought to himself, it turned out that this book was hidden in the grave, and Chen Ao, this kid, was also smart enough to think of this.
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was in a daze, Chen Ao had an idea and hurriedly said: "Yes! This tomb was not deliberately collapsed by someone! Last night, Miss Zhao and I wanted to come to pay tribute to the dead of Lord Zheng Helm. Who knew that someone was deliberately destroying the mausoleum of Lord Zheng Helm. Because of this shameful act of breaking him, he was so angry that he threw us under the rubble and tried to stone us to death. If it weren't for Lord Zheng Helm's blessing in the spirit of heaven and blocking us with a coffin board, you wouldn't be able to see us now!"
He spoke so eloquently that the listener felt as if he were there. The crowd exclaimed, accusing one after another: "Who is so hateful?
"Hmph, it must be the enemy of our salt gang! these gutless rats dare not fight in the open, but they disturb the peace of the dead!"
Chen Ao successfully diverted their attention, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, walked to Su Zhuo's side, gave him a thumbs up, and whispered, "Thank you, Master, for relieving the siege!"
Su Zhuo glared at him and said, "I'm not trying to relieve you of the siege. But this tomb was indeed deliberately collapsed!"
Chen Ao let out an "ah", which was also a little unexpected. Originally, he and Zhao Ling thought that this tomb would collapse because they moved the sealed stones, which caused the structure to be unstable. If someone really deliberately collapsed, then it is obvious that this is naked murder!
Thinking of this, Chen Ao couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, and he was afraid for a while. If it weren't for this coffin board, I would have really gone to see Marx.
Su Zhuo pointed to the stone bricks and said, "Look at the surface of these big stones, there are clear traces of being smashed by a hammer. Presumably, someone threw these stones down, causing the entire tomb to be structurally unstable and causing it to collapse......"
Chen Ao nodded, not caring about this technique, but he was very wary of those who wanted to kill him. He thought to himself, who is so vicious, who actually wants to bury himself alive?
Chen Ao was the first to think of Elder Yao, and while everyone was not paying attention, he beckoned to Liang Xiaoya and asked in a low voice, "You stared at Elder Yao last night, did you notice any strange behavior from him?"
Liang Xiaoya shook her head and said, "What's the strange behavior? It's so normal that it can't be normal anymore!"
"Did he go out last night?"
Liang Xiaoya said categorically: "No!"
Chen Ao frowned, thinking to himself, did I think wrong? The murderer of Zheng Wenping was locked on Elder Yao before, so it was logical for him to kill me. But if the murderer is not him, then who will it be?
Chen Ao felt that he really had a lot of enemies in this world, in addition to the brothers Liang Gonggong and Liang Sizhi who met recently, there were also Duan Wuji's father and son, of course, Bai Junya, Chen Liyong, and other people who competed for the position of helmsman at the beginning are also possible.
Thinking of this, Chen Ao suddenly remembered someone, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Xiong Guang!
