Looking at the several corpses that were fished out, Hutingtuochi frowned.
"Did you see anything?"
The temporary worker shook his head: "Big boss, apart from some beatings, there are no other suspicious injuries on their bodies, and they are not poisoned. It seems that they died of drowning."
So many people drowned together?
Hutingtuochi instinctively felt that something was wrong.
"Big boss," two trembling horse thieves were pushed out, "these two are the cooks, they are witnesses."
Hutingtuo nodded slowly, his voice kind: "Don't be afraid, tell me what happened."
The two of them swallowed their saliva and talked about what they saw in shock.
It's basically the same as the rumors.
The old and new horse thieves fought against each other like gunpowder, and they reached the water source. They didn't know how they slipped in.
It seemed that someone had cramps and dragged others into the water with him.
"Big Chief, we were in a hurry to go back and cook, so we fetched water and left. We thought they could come up from the water, but who knew..."
"It's none of your business." Hutingtuochi waved his hand, his brows almost killing mosquitoes.
He circled around the water a few more times.
However, investigating facts was not his specialty. Hu Tingtuochi couldn't see anything unusual at all, so he had no choice but to give up.
"What's going on around the stone forest recently?"
The subordinate next to him was stunned.
Although it is not snowing now, it is still the twelfth lunar month of winter. In addition, there was an earth-shattering sandstorm two months ago. Except for those who attacked Yunchui and became red-eyed, most other Xiliang people are huddled at home according to their habits.
Not moving anymore.
"Go back to the big leader." He said respectfully: "Except for someone firing a cloud-piercing arrow in the Desert of No Return half a month ago in the north, there was no other movement.
Hutingtuo nodded belatedly, he also remembered this matter.
"I remember that the team that went to the north to check only came back with four people?"
"Yes." The staff nodded: "According to what they said, they found nothing. Instead, they encountered sand wolves and almost wiped out the entire army."
As he spoke, the staff also reacted: "What do you mean, Chief..."
The three bearded men were about to return to their homes.
Wow.
A large number of murderous men and horses suddenly appeared all around.
Before they could react, they were tied up tightly, their mouths were stuffed with rags, and they were escorted directly in front of Huting Tochi.
"Tell me, what did you see in the north half a month ago? How did Sha Jiang die? And where did you go after leaving the stone forest this morning?"
The three of them were at a loss and were shocked when they heard this. The other two pony thieves were so frightened that they paralyzed on the ground and almost peed their pants.
After all, Huzi had seen the world, and he couldn't bear to look at the two cowards next to him.
If they hadn't been together all this time, he would have suspected that the two people next to him had snitched on him.
However, his insistence was meaningless, the appearance of the three people said everything.
Huting Tochi waved his hand, and immediately a group of thieves went to search the three people's rooms and interrogate them one by one.
There was naturally nothing in the room.
However, the three bearded men were not tough guys. The horse thieves had just begun to torture them, and their hands were not even warm, so they explained the ins and outs clearly.
"The man carrying the big sword is really Yun Chuiren? You read that right."
There were a few whip marks all over his beard, and he gasped: "Back to the big leader, that man has black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin. The younger one will definitely not be mistaken."
Clouds hang over people?
Huting Tochi was a little unbelievable.
Is it really a lost caravan?
cough!
The staff member coughed lightly.
"The big leader may be a lackey of the royal court who disguised himself as Yun Chui to paralyze us."
He is the leader of the horse thieves, but he is also a traitor in the eyes of the Xiliang royal court.
As long as the Grassland King knows about the news of his request for help, not to mention the horse bandits in Stone Forest, even Tianya Haijiao will send troops to kill them.
"That person just asked you to take another pill and didn't ask for anything else, so he let you go?"
"Yes..." Huzi was about to nod.
Suddenly an idea flashed through his mind, and he broke into a sweat again. "By the way. That man also wanted a small sheepskin coat."
"Big Chief," Huzi was so anxious that he almost bit his own tongue: "But that small piece of clothing has been worn for more than two years..."
Clothes summons?
Hutingtuo didn't listen anymore.
"Everyone, please be aware that there may be an enemy in the stone forest. That person may be disguised as any of you."
"Everyone, search carefully! Search inch by inch, and I must find him."
He thought for a moment and pointed at the three men with beards: "Doctor, come and check whether the three of them are really poisoned or whether they are still lying."
Ren Ning hid silently in the corner of a stone pillar not far away and heard everything clearly.
Soon, the entire Horse Bandit Stone Forest was in a commotion.
There were messy horse thieves looking through things everywhere, and some newcomers were even caught and scrutinized to see if they had been disguised.
Some young people lost their anus, and some new people were robbed of valuable things by old thieves in the name of search.
In shame and anger, they couldn't help but draw their swords at each other.
It didn't take long for the clanging to begin.
As a result, within half a day, nearly fifty people died in the entire stone forest.
As for the three bearded men, after careful inspection, the two doctors found that there was nothing unusual about them except that they were a little weak.
The two discussed for a while and then went back to report the inspection results to Huting Tochi.
Bah bah bah.
Before the doctors finished speaking, hurried footsteps sounded behind them.
Someone almost stepped on their heels and ran in, "Big Chief, the three bearded men are dead."
"What?" The two doctors couldn't believe it.
Huting Tuochi jumped up and asked, "How did you die?"
"Well..." The visitor glanced at the two doctors and said, "The younger one is not a doctor. I can't tell the difference at the moment."
"But the younger ones can use their heads to guarantee that no one else has entered the cell they are in."
"Let's go!" Hu Tingtuochi couldn't sit still anymore, "Let's go and take a look."
The group returned to the temporary prison.
The eyes of the three bearded men were wide open, they were too dead to die.
The doctor, who was sweating profusely, hurriedly went up to check.
After a while, the two looked at each other and murmured: "Big boss, the three of them are indeed dead."
The staff next to him was furious: "Quack doctor, didn't you just keep saying that they were fine?"
The two doctors looked aggrieved.
When they checked just now, the three of them were indeed fine.
Hu Ting Tuo Chi signaled his staff to leave.
He looked around, but the cell was not clearly visible and there was no way to hide anyone.
"Two doctors, I don't know how they died. Were they poisoned or something else?"
The two doctors were busy again.
Cutting and cutting, the three corpses were broken into pieces, like a slaughterhouse.
They immersed themselves in discussion for a while before speaking hesitantly.
"Big boss, there are many wonders in the world. Please forgive me for my lack of talent and knowledge. I don't know many poisons. These three people seem to have been poisoned and scared to death..."
Scared to death?
There was a moment of silence in the dark and cold prison.
