Chapter 8: Stealing the Dragon and Turning the Phoenix (I)
Just after the fourth watch, the streets were deserted, except for some drunks wandering on the side of the street, and suddenly they sat on the ground and cried loudly. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info They are all traders who have lost money, and if someone makes money, someone must lose money, and such cries are heard every day in Huangsha City.
Luo Tianchu and Ling Xudu's figures swept over their heads like swallows, Zhu Zhirui crouched on Ling Xudu's back only to feel the clouds and mist, the scenery flashed quickly in front of her eyes, every time she dived down, her heart rose to her throat, and when she jumped high, her legs felt weak again. They jumped in a straight line on the room, and after a while, they rushed to Chu Laike's mansion, Ling Xudu said: "How to get in?" Luo Tianchu said: "Let's come to Ming, just jump in." Ling Xudu said "yes", and the two jumped into the hospital.
There were a few torches lit in the courtyard, and there was no one there, but as soon as Luo Tianchu took a step, his feet fell into a dirt pit, as if he had stepped on something, and a series of bells immediately sounded in the whole courtyard, which sounded particularly harsh at night. Originally, there were countless heads in the courtyard where you couldn't even see the figures. On the rooftops, on the walls, in the grass, on the branches of the trees, every black shadow was unsheathed and bowed. It was too late for Ling Xudu to escape with Zhu Zhirui, so he and Luo Tianchu blocked her in the middle. Fortunately, the man in black was just waiting for the battle and did not attack.
At this moment, two men approached slowly in the distance, and one of the servants carried a lantern in front of the road, and the lantern illuminated the ground, and also illuminated the scarlet robe of the man who did not carry the lantern, which was Marpa. Marpa recognized them, frowned, and said, "What are you doing here?" Didn't you say that you were not allowed to leave the inn without permission?" Luo Tianchu said: "We have something important to say to our seniors, please take a step to speak." Marpa said: "Even if you are a friend of the city lord, you can't break the rules, and if you have something to say, you will talk about it at the inn tomorrow." After saying that, he turned around to leave, Luo Tianchu hurriedly said: "I already know who the murderer is." Marpa turned to stare at him and said, "You know?" Luo Tianchu said, "Yes, you can't be wrong." Marpa groaned and said, "Come, then." Luo Tianchu said happily: "Thank you." ”
The ghostly man in black disappeared like a ghost, and the three followed Marpa to the hall, Marpa sent the servant away, sat down and said, "The old man in the city lord's study has no right to enter, so he can only entertain the three here." Luo Tianchu said: "It's very good here." Then he repeated the analysis just now, and Marba nodded slightly while listening, and said, "Your analysis is very reasonable, but if there is no evidence, the old man still can't arrest Song Lianfeng." Although the old man also believed that Fu Chou was innocent, others thought that he had killed someone, and the old man could only leave him here and give an explanation to outsiders. The old man is strange that Fu Chou is not related to you, why do you want to speak for him?"
Luo Tianchu looked back at the closed door, looked around again, and said, "Actually, his name is not Fu Chou, but my good brother is just disguised as Fu Chou and mixed into the horse gang, so I have to save him." Marbachi said: "He is also a person from the Blood Knife Castle, what is his name?" Luo Tianchu said: "Zhu Yushi." Marpa suddenly said, "I've heard his name." Here, the old man guarantees his safety and does not let him suffer the slightest grievance. When you find evidence, the old man will release him immediately. Luo Tianchu said: "We just can't find evidence to come here, I want to see Zhu Yushi, maybe he can help us find evidence." Marpa said, "Do you want to see him?" Luo Tianchu said: "Yes, please make it convenient for your seniors." Marpa thought for a moment and said, "If you really want to find evidence, the old man can agree, but you must also promise the old man that you can't save him." Luo Tianchu said: "As a friend of the city lord, I promise that I will never embarrass my predecessors." Marpa nodded, "Okay, follow me." ”
The three of them followed Marpa to the second courtyard, and entered the second wing room on the left, which was empty, and there were two Tibetan guards eating and chatting around the square table. Marpa said in the Tibetan language, "Open the dungeon." The Tibetan guards took the order, removed the dry wood piled up at the foot of the wall, and revealed a stone slab with a copper handle, which opened together to reveal the entrance to the tunnel. The tunnels were bright and dry, with torches stuck in the stone troughs, and they followed Marba down to the plains. The cages are actually dug caverns with arm-thick iron barns, and there are ten of them. Only the first room on the right is locked up with someone, and it is Zhu Yushi.
Zhu Yushi, who was sleeping, had already woken up, and when he saw them, he stepped forward with great joy, held the railing and said, "Why are you here?" Luo Tianchu smiled: "Miss Zhu is worried about you, so we will take her over to have a look." Zhu Zhirui took off the scarf and came to the fence to greet him: "Mr. has been wronged, we will definitely find a way to save you out." Zhu Yushi said: "It's nothing, I slept just now, but it was comfortable." Luo Tianchu smiled and said: "We are anxious about your business, you are in the mood to sleep." Zhu Yushi sighed: "If you stay here for a few hours, you will understand, once the iron door is closed, no one will harm you, and you don't need to protect anyone, lying on the dry and soft grass, quiet and safe, I didn't expect the cell to be so comfortable." Luo Tianchu smiled: "I want to go in and feel it, but I know who the murderers are, and I want you to help find them out." Zhu Yushi exclaimed: "Who is it? Is there more than one?"
Luo Tianchu said the analysis again, and Zhu Yushi said after listening: "Every time Lin Zhongxiu teaches my martial arts, Miaohui is nearby, and sometimes although she closes the door, I know that she is not far away." I didn't think anything about it at the time, but now that I think about it, it's really suspicious. Hey, Lin Zhongxiu is really a poor person, thinking that he finally found true love at the end of his life, but it was a lie, fortunately he died peacefully, otherwise it would be painful to know the truth. Luo Tianchu said: "Now is not the time to feel sorry for the dead, can you come up with any evidence to expose the crimes of those people? Zhu Yushi shook his head and said: "I have always been kept in the dark, if you hadn't told me, I still don't know the cause and effect, I don't know as much as you." ”
Luo Tianchu sighed and said, "Then what should I do, just let you fall into a cage and let the murderer get away with it." There was silence in the stone prison for a while, Zhu Yushi's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said excitedly: "I have a way." Luo Tianchu hurriedly said: "What way?" Zhu Yushi said: "Before leaving Chang'an, Nu'er gave me two Gu, one of which is an illusion Gu, and the Gu person will enter a coma, no matter what he asks, he will explain truthfully." As long as I can go back, I can use Gu on Miao Hui and make her confess her crime in front of everyone, which is more convincing than any evidence. Luo Tianchu was overjoyed and said: "Great, senior, did you hear, as long as Xiao Zhu can go back, the truth will be revealed." Marpa said lightly: "Don't forget what you promised the old man, he can't leave here." Luo Tianchu said: "As long as the murderer can be caught, why stick to the rules?" Marpa shook his head and said: "As soon as this case is opened, the offender will find all kinds of reasons to excuse him, where is the prestige of the city lord? The old man has made an exception for you, and he must not let people go again." Luo Tianchu said: "But only Zhu Yushi knows how to use Gu, when will he be able to solve the case if he doesn't go out." Marpa said lightly: "The old man has also solved many big cases without witchcraft. (To be continued.) )
