Chapter 302 Dart Silver
Hao Li was so anxious that he shouted: "Alas, what's the matter with this person? I haven't finished my words yet! Go quickly, the old thunder is like a raging fire, if you miss and kill that person, it won't be good!"
Everyone hurried along the riverbank, and when the distance was near, they jumped onto the wooden boat with light feats.
At this time, the boatman had already been subdued on the deck by Lei Jingjun, and his nose and face were swollen from being beaten.
Lei Jingjun shouted and asked where his accomplice was.
The poor boatman didn't know what was going on, and looked at a loss, and the other two boatmen were so frightened that they crouched in the corner and didn't dare to say anything when they saw the fierceness of his coming.
Lei Jingjun raised his hand and wanted to fight, but fortunately, Li Chongyuan flew in and stopped him.
Hao Li pulled aside the boatman who was beaten lightly, and asked softly, the boatman had just been tossed half to death by the fierce Lei Jingjun, and now Hao Li, who was like a flower, was by his side and comforted him slowly, and couldn't help but say everything.
It turned out that this morning, a man in a brocade robe came to cross the river by boat, and the man was also strange, and when he got on the boat, he dropped a few taels of silver to change his clothes, and the boatman's clothes were already patched and patched.
Seeing that the man took the brocade robe to change his clothes and pasted silver taels, how could he not agree? Immediately changed, the boatman said with tears in his eyes: "I am reluctant to wear this dress for the rest of my life, that is, I have to wear boots and enjoy it now, and I have to buy it when I get ashore, and change it for some silver to supplement the family, but I didn't expect this master to come up and press me to a violent beating." ”
Hao Li asked, "Do you remember what that person looked like?"
The boatman said, "Medium build, slightly fatter, with a black mole the size of a thumb on the left side of the face. The man got off the boat and walked away on the other side. It seems to be going in the direction of Suzhou. ”
Hao Li saw that she couldn't ask anything else, so she casually threw him ten taels of silver, and said with a smile: "Our little brother's hands and feet are not light or heavy, you go buy some delicious food to replenish your body." Just wait for us to apologize to you! Hurry up and row a boat to send us across the river, and pay the fare when we get to the other side. ”
The boatman was overjoyed, and he quickly got up and grabbed the silver without crying, and beckoned his companions to hurry up and row the boat, without the sadness just now, and his expression was that as long as there was silver. He was willing to be beaten again.
Hao Li quietly came to Li Chongyuan's side and said in a low voice: "That person is Zhai Xin, this person had a secret meeting with Ruyan and others, and he disappeared after being broken by us, but now he appears here, it seems that he has not even returned home since he came out of the house.
He galloped all the way here to cross the river, and if he didn't have anything important, he wouldn't be in such a hurry. It seems that the place he is going to has a lot to do with Dart Yin, so let's chase this person closely. Let's see what he's up to. ”
After crossing the river, the group immediately began to chase along the road to Suzhou.
After chasing out about 100 miles, he saw Zhai Xin eating and drinking tea in a tea house, but the clothes on his body had been changed into the sackcloth of a walking merchant, and there was a pair of merchant's burdens at his feet.
Everyone hurriedly hidden, Zhai Xin was full of food and drink, and saw that no one around him paid attention to him, so Shi Shiran picked up the burden and walked forward.
Hao Li's years of experience in arresting fast in the criminal department have come to use. Although Zhai Xin chose to take a remote road, he still couldn't get rid of Li Chongyuan and others. However, Zhai Xin didn't notice that someone was following him.
After walking for more than 200 miles, Zhai Xin threw away the burden of the merchant, bought a fast horse in a nearby town, and galloped forward.
Wang Zhiqiang immediately took out a gold bar and stuffed it into the broker's hand, and everyone pulled the horse and chased after him from a distance.
Zhai Xin ran all the way until he got into Jinma Mountain. After entering the depths of Zhuma Mountain, Zhai Xin also found that he was being followed, he knew that since the other party could follow him quietly, he was absolutely unable to deal with it, so he simply beat his horse and rushed into the mountain temple deep in the forest!
Li Chongyuan saw him galloping on his horse, and knew that he had been aware of it. At that moment, he immediately chased the horse out. The distance between the two sides quickly shortened, and Zhai Xin rushed to the front of the mountain temple and jumped directly into the temple from the horse.
Li Chongyuan was afraid that he would build a secret passage in the temple, as long as he ran in and activated the secret passage to hide, he would chase it in by himself, and if he didn't understand the mechanism, he wouldn't be able to find the secret passage.
Immediately with a clear drink, the body jumped up like a big bird, and the toes clicked on the horse's back, and flew directly into the temple, but unfortunately it was a step too late, Zhai Xin was gone, and it was extremely closed at this time, if he said
It is impossible for Zhai Xin to escape outside, which only shows that there is an unknown secret passage here.
Hao Li, Wang Xinze and others are in a hurry, in case there is a secret passage here, Zhai Xin will be in trouble if he transfers or destroys the stolen goods!
He signaled Hao Li and the others to be silent, he stood in the middle of the mountain temple, and used the Xingchen Exercise to slap his palm power around, he now has excellent ear power, and he quickly judged that the wall behind the clay sculpture of this mountain god was empty!
Li Chongyuan said in a low voice: "Mountain God, the situation is critical, don't blame you for offending!" stepped forward and slapped him violently, only to hear a loud bang.
The dust was flying, and when the dust settled, I saw a big hole in the back wall, and there were hastily paved steps behind the hole!
Li Chongyuan and the others did not dare to slack off, and immediately rushed into the cave, there were many spare torches on the cave wall, and everyone quickly grabbed the torches and lit them and chased forward.
Zhai Xin had long since disappeared, Hao Li saw a few fresh footprints from the moss traces on the steps, and concluded that Zhai Xin must have escaped from here, running along the winding cave for more than ten miles, which has gone deep into the hinterland of the mountain, and the terrain is getting lower and lower.
The sound of running water gradually came to my ears. The air also became more and more humid, and Li Chongyuan asked, "Is there an underground river here?"
Wang Xinze has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and is familiar with the geography of various places, so he said: "This is Zhuma Mountain, there is a Mayu River that originates in Zhuma Mountain, and the Mayu River flows out of Suzhou to communicate with the Luohe River, and connects with the Yangtze River through Luoshui......"
Speaking of this, his expression suddenly changed greatly, and he said to himself: "God bless! God bless!" Raising the torch, he didn't care about Li Chongyuan and the others rushing forward.
Li Chongyuan was afraid that he would lose, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to follow.
At present, the sound of running water has reached the point of deafening, and when everyone turned a corner, they saw Wang Xinze standing by the river with a torch in a daze.
Under the light of the torches, I saw a surging river flowing endlessly in the belly of the mountain! In an inlet of this underground river, the water was extremely gentle, and several wooden boats were quietly parked in the inlet.
Even Lei Jingjun couldn't calm down at this moment, he had already recognized that this was the missing dart boat!
Fortunately, the river was not wide, and a few people crossed the river with light skills, came to the inlet, and flew and jumped on the dart boat.
Seeing a huge mahogany box lined up, Li Chongyuan stretched out his hand to smash one of the wooden boxes, and a large number of silver ingots were scattered on the deck, shining silver under the reflection of the firelight. (To be continued......)
