Chapter 176: Wenjia Manor
Cuiping Mountain in the south of Dazhou City is also called "Zhenwu Palace Beam", its height is not more than 100 zhang, the stone wall is like a screen in the distance, the mountain color is green, so it is called Cuiping Mountain. At the foot of the mountain, a high wall looms in the pine forest, and there are black-clad Zhuang Ding guards at the door, which is the famous Wenjia manor on the underworld in eastern Sichuan.
In the hall of the manor, Old Man Wen, Bashan Poison and Wen Ruo were urgently discussing this unexpected situation, and among the belongings of the three people they had robbed from the inn, they found a holy decree and the token of the Ouchi guard, but the only one was missing.
"The holy decree said that Liu Yong, a cabinet scholar, went to Yunnan to investigate the case, could it be that this inconspicuous old man is Liu Luoguo? Old Man Wen said worriedly.
"Uncle, it seems that there are a lot of strange things about this matter, first of all, this Mo Remnant is an eccentric, he was killed by his nephew in Wudang Mountain, who knows that he came back to life after three days, and then he has been hiding in Shennongjia with his master Jin Danzi. I thought that he was returning to his hometown Yunnan with Jin Danzi this time, but he found the Holy Decree and the Ouchi Guard Token again, but whether it is true or false remains to be determined. The nephew was thinking, how could this Mo Remnant suddenly disappear?" Wen Ruo muttered.
"Brother Poison, are you sure that Mo Yan also fell victim to your 'Bashan Night Rain' at the same time?" asked Old Man Wen.
"Brother Wen Xian rest assured, the old 'Bashan Night Rain' [***] medicinal wine only needs a few drops in the hot pot soup, and everyone will be spared, this Mo Remnant will definitely be poisoned. Bashan replied.
Wen Ruoxu is still not at ease: "Senior, although Mo Yan is not very old, he is very smart, will he see any flaws?"
"There is no way, the old man just told them that he was 'Bashan Laosuo', and they outsiders would not know the nickname 'Poison Suo'. When poisoned, the old man first drank the 'Bashan Night Rain', and then the chopsticks were dipped in the mouth and inserted into the hot pot soup, and it was impossible to see it. ”
Wen Ruoxu nodded and said, "The predecessor's poisoning technique is simply amazing, and there is indeed no flaw, but Mo Remnant's disappearance out of thin air is really incomprehensible, doesn't this poison work for him?"
"'Bashan Night Rain' is a famous work of old decay, no matter how high your martial arts are and how strong your internal strength is, as long as you enter a little bit, you will inevitably be poisoned and comatose after two hours, without exception. ”
"Then there is only one possibility, he had left the inn before the poison, and he had fainted somewhere, so he never appeared. The text needs to be analyzed.
After hearing this, Old Man Wen immediately called Hua Qian and Yuexia to ask.
"Master, since they walked into the inn last night, someone has been guarding the door, and they have not found Mo Yan leaving the inn, and this morning they searched the inn inside and out, and there is still no trace of him. Said before the flower.
Old Man Wen nodded and said, "This is really strange, can't you fly into the sky?"
"It's a disguise technique, this kid must have gone somewhere after dinner, disguised himself and left the inn. "Wen Ruo seems to have understood.
"Qinglou," Hua Qian suddenly shouted, "He must have left the inn to stay overnight in Qinglou, and we met him in the Jiyuan of Goolan Hutong in the capital." ”
"That's right," Wen Ruo slapped his thigh, "immediately check all the green buildings in Dazhou City and even the prostitutes, Mo Yan may be in a poisonous coma right now." ”
Old Man Wen immediately instructed the subordinates of each hall to go to the Fengyue place in the city to search, and if they found Mo Yan, they would immediately secretly escort them to the Wen family's manor.
The atmosphere in the hall eased down, and some family members replaced it with hot tea, and the old man Wen smiled and said: "The matter of Mo Cruel is put aside for the time being, and the old man thinks about this holy decree, whether this person is Liu Yong or not, needs to be eliminated to prevent future troubles." ”
"Uncle is reasonable, if this person is Liu Yong, we are already guilty of overturning the imperial court officials, but fortunately, no one knows his whereabouts when Weifu visits. Yungui is sparsely populated and bandits, we can carry their corpses there and discard them, it should be robbed and killed, and the government has no clues to track them down, and in the end we can only stop it. Wen Ruo agreed.
Old Man Wen took a sip of tea, put down the cup and said, "Brother Poison, can you detoxify these three people now, the old man wants to interrogate them." ”
"Absolutely, please. Bashan stood up, and followed him to a rockery in the backyard of the manor, using a dragon's head and a cane.
Several black-clothed guards opened the iron gate and led everyone down the stone steps into a secret room. The chamber was deep underground, surrounded by smooth stone walls with iron rings embedded in them, and the hands of Liu Yong, Shunu, and Li Yuantong were all crossed and firmly tied to the iron rings, and they were still in a comatose state at this moment.
Bashan Poison took off the wine gourd from the cane, and said in his mouth: "The antidote to decay is this poison, one or two drops can be poisoned, and a sip will detoxify." ”
"The title of the predecessor 'Poison Suo' is worthy of the name, and the use of poison kung fu is really superb, which is an eye-opener for the younger generation. Wen Ruo said with sincere admiration.
Bashan Poison Suo poured a mouthful of poisonous wine on Liu Yong and each of them, and the three of them woke up in a moment.
"Hey, aren't you the old man of Bashan, where are we?" asked Li Yuantong in surprise, but then he realized that he had been imprisoned.
"Old man, what the hell is going on?" Liu Yong shook his arm and asked Bashan Poison in confusion.
"Who are you?" said Old Man Wen sharply.
"The old man just went to Yunnan to visit friends through Dazhou. Liu Yong replied.
"Then where did this holy decree come from?" Old Man Wen shook the holy decree in his hand, and sneered.
Seeing this, Liu Yong knew that he had been exposed, so he said calmly: "Yes, this official is Liu Yong, can you be guilty of detaining the imperial court officials." ”
"Bold, who are you waiting for, dare to be so rude to Lord Liu, and don't let us down quickly?" Li Yuantong scolded.
Old Man Wen smiled: "What do you know, what kind of prestige do you still play in the hands of the old man, answer the question honestly, where is that Mo Remnant?"
Liu Yong only noticed at this moment that Mo Yan was not in the secret room, and he suddenly felt a little confident in his heart, so he replied: "You are planning to murder this official, and the killer of the Sangluo Inn on Ankang Road is also the work of you, right?"
"What Sangluo Inn killer?" Old Man Wen looked surprised.
"Didn't you send Fanjing Four Bears and Emei scholar Tong Tianshuang?" Li Yuantong asked.
"Ha, it turns out that it's not just the old man, but other people who want your life. ”
"Bashan Laosuo, it turned out that you poisoned it. Li Yuantong understood.
"Yes, it is the old decay, you can be planted under the 'Bashan Night Rain', and it is not in vain that you can live this life. Bashan Lao Suo smiled proudly.
Old Man Wen turned his face: "You haven't answered the old man's question yet, where is Mo Remnant?"
"Yes, the official still wants to ask you, where is Mo Yan now?" Liu Yong asked rhetorically.
Li Yuantong also felt strange: "Last night, we went into the house to sleep together, didn't he get poisoned like us?"
"It seems that you really don't know Mo Yan's whereabouts, then, what about Jin Danzi, where are the others?" asked Wen Ruo.
"What Jin Danzi?" Li Yuantong was even more puzzled.
"Uncle, this kid is weird, when I catch him, I will be given it for strict interrogation, and then the four of them will be disposed of together. ”
"Okay, if necessary, you must torture that kid to avenge your son, otherwise it will be difficult to solve the hatred in the old man's heart. ”
"Don't worry, I'll make him worse than dead. Wen Ruo sneered.
"What do you want to do with this official?" asked Liu Yong helplessly.
"Don't you understand this, for the sake of Liu Luoguo being a clean official, he will leave you with a whole corpse. ”
"Aren't you afraid that the emperor will blame him and be beheaded all over the house?"
Old Man Wen laughed: "God knows that you know and I know, Liu Luoguo, don't bother with this heart." ”
At this time, someone ran down the stone steps and reported that Mo was caught in the Yihong Building in Dazhou City.
Old Man Wen was overjoyed when he heard this: "Where are the people, bring them here quickly." ”
"Are you sure it's him?" asked Wen Ruo cautiously.
"When he was caught, the kid was still naked and unconscious, and he was dragged straight out of the bed. The man chuckled.
After a while, two men in black carried a heavy sack down to the secret room and threw it on the ground with a "bang".
"Die under the pomegranate skirt, and be a ghost is also romantic, don't be disabled, I can't imagine that you still have this hand. Li Yuantong sighed dejectedly.
Wen Ruo needed to step forward and untie the mouth of the sack, revealing a young man with a cloak and a full body **, he was really unconscious.
"Come on, put him on the stone wall first. Old Man Wen ordered.
The young man's arms were straightened and tied to the iron ring, Wen Ruo stepped forward to take a closer look, and said, "Uncle, this person is not Mo Cruel. ”
At this moment, Liu Yong and Li Yuantong also saw that this was a stranger, so they put their minds at ease.
"Isn't it?" Old Man Wen said suspiciously, "Brother Poison, wake him up first." ”
Bashan Poison stepped forward to take a look, and also shook his head and said that it was not Mo Remnant.
"Then why did he fall unconscious in the green building?" Old Man Wen seemed to be unconvinced.
"Oh, it turned out that I was hit by 'Hui Ma Crazy'. Bashan Yaosu bent down to examine the man's **, and then said with a smile.
"Crazy?"
"Well, this person must be the first time to try **, what was frightened when he was most excited, and the essence suddenly retrograde caused the meridians to be occluded, and the light ones did not lift after speaking, and the heavy ones were speechless and paralyzed. Bashan Laosu explained.
"What a fucking bad luck. Old Man Wen said angrily.
"How should this person be handled?" asked Wen Ruo.
Old Man Wen replied angrily: "It will be lost with them." ”
The group left the chamber.
"Oh, it turns out that there is also a saying of 'going back to the horse crazy', but you have to be more careful in the future, there are often huge risks hidden when you are most comfortable. Li Yuantong sighed.
"Li Yuantong, do we have a future?" asked Liu Yong with a wry smile.
"My lord, as long as Mo Yan is still outside, we have a glimmer of hope, and maybe we can bring the officers and soldiers with us. ”
"The local government may not believe him. Liu Yong shook his head.
