Bai Yue didn't lower his head or bend down, and just walked through the mud. Jian Yu felt frightened and followed him step by step. His nerves were extremely tight, and he was always prepared to deal with hidden weapons or mechanisms in time when they appeared.
Bai Yue rushed out.
It's really not easy to worry about.
Liang Meng's route was exactly the opposite of Bai Yue's. He specialized in picking out remote places that ordinary people couldn't reach. He poked and poked at them, and from time to time he took out things from the cracks of bricks, leaves, and behind doors and threw them on the ground.
"Master, this guy is a talent." Liang Meng said, "What are these things?"
As Liang Meng threw things out one by one, there was a pile on the ground.
Crossbows, strange-shaped hidden weapons, daggers, even slingshots, spiked wooden stakes...
No wonder the two groups of killers are here. The yard is so busy even before they enter the house. If they enter the house, they still don’t know what’s inside.
Suddenly Liang Meng said: "Wait."
Everyone stopped, even Bai Yue, who was observing the chicken coop with great interest, looked over.
Liang Meng removed a wooden stake from the door of the room, but did not dare to open it. He just said: "There is a small mechanism here. As long as you touch it when opening the door, it will open."
So the person next to me had a weak hand and reached over to open it.
Liang Meng quickly ducked aside: "Don't move."
It looked ordinary, and everyone was wondering: "What's the danger in this thing? Is there any powerful hidden weapon hidden in it?"
"No." Liang Meng said: "This kind of mechanism is not for hiding hidden weapons. It is called an ecstasy cylinder. It usually hides poison. The poisonous smoke will come out as soon as it is opened. Because everyone has different methods, the poison hidden inside is also different.
It's different. I don't know much about poisons, so I don't dare to open them because I don't know what's inside."
Bai Yue liked this kind of thing that was small and did not require martial arts. He came over to take it and take a look: "Then he placed it at the door. Obviously he is not afraid of being accidentally touched by the neighbors, but what can be said?"
"There is no explanation for the ecstasy cylinder itself. It just relies on the poisonous smoke inside. Because this thing is easy to install, I don't think it would be placed here normally. It was installed because people have been coming to harass me in the past few days." Liang Meng said: "As long as it is installed.
The poison inside won't kill you immediately, or you can sneak some antidote to your neighbors first, it's not that difficult."
Just like Qin Jiu, Jian Yu understood: "Take this back and show it to Qin Jiu. She is an expert in this field and will definitely know what is inside."
Liang Meng responded and asked people to put the things away.
Bai Yue returned to the henhouse again, and even squatted down, as if he wanted to take an egg out of the henhouse.
"What's wrong?" Jian Yu squatted down next to her: "Which one do you like?"
These two people were really careless. Jian Yu, a girl from Bai Yue who had an official status after all, was squatting side by side at the door of the chicken coop. There were also a few fat hens and a majestic tiger inside, staring at them eagerly.
big cock.
The rooster is fierce and protective of his wife, as if he is ready to peck them both at any time.
"Well, the yellow one looks delicious." Bai Yue recalled that he hadn't had any chicken soup in the past few days: "I'll buy these chickens from Xie Pingsheng later and go back to stew them."
This was much more authentic than the so-called pure farm chickens she had eaten before. In this era, there were no various feeds that could be ripened quickly.
At this moment, Jian Yu was suddenly possessed by a bully. He rolled up his sleeves and stood up: "I am the noble minister of Dali Temple, and my fiancée has to pay for a chicken..."
Bai Yue had nothing to say.
Jian Yu waved to the people around him: "Go and tie these fat guys back to me and throw them to Mrs. Zhang in the kitchen for a good interrogation."
The corner of Bai Yue's mouth twitched, and then he watched several people happily jump into the chicken coop, and then there was a burst of feathers flying around, making it a lively mess.
She even saw the neighbor next door who couldn't help but poke his head out of curiosity, and then stared at it in stunned silence.
The capital was strictly managed, and government officials generally did not dare to do anything that would rob the people of their wealth. Moreover, Jian Yu seemed to be a high-class person, so how could he be so miserable?
Bai Yue covered half of his eyes in horror, and then took out the remaining eggs from the henhouse.
"dig." Bai Yue stood up and Jian Yu waved.
This chicken coop has been tampered with.
The chicken coop was not as big as a livestock shed. It was clear to see inside, and it was impossible to hide anyone. But because the nest was covered with straw, the ground could not be seen clearly. Bai Yue's eyes were still sharp, and he saw some fresh dirt on the straw.
earth.
Jian Yu said: "It's the twelfth lunar month of winter. Xie Pingsheng won't have anything to do. He plans to renovate the chicken coop."
Bai Yue held four eggs in his arms, two with yellow shells and two with green shells, and watched calmly as they quickly dug up the henhouse.
No wonder Jian Yu didn't plan to get money from the old hen, because he didn't even plan to leave this house to Xie Pingsheng.
The shed above the chicken coop was removed first, but the soil underground that should have been trampled down was very soft and was quickly dug up.
"Master." Someone shouted: "I have found something."
This discovery did not surprise the two of them, but the large number still surprised them.
The ground of the chicken coop is almost hollowed out. Fortunately, the roosters and hens are not heavy. If there were larger cattle, horses and sheep raised here, they might even collapse the ground.
"You can't tell." Jian Yu looked at the corpses lined up on the ground: "This Xie Pingsheng seems to be a gentle scholar, but he is so ruthless."
Not only was he ruthless in killing, but he was also very skilled in handling corpses. Seven dead people and seven corpses were buried so quickly without alerting the neighbors at all. This kind of hands-on ability is not ordinary.
The bodies of seven men in black lay side by side on the ground.
Bai Yue was no longer afraid of getting dirty at this time. He took out the gloves he carried with him from his pocket and squatted down to check.
"This man was injured and stabbed to death by your crossbow bolt." Bai Yue touched one of the corpses and said, "It's a little strange."
Jian Yu hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"
"Although these injuries are fatal, they are not the kind of people who die immediately after being stabbed." Bai Yue said: "Even if the man in black is a killer and has strong endurance, people are just humans. If they are stabbed suddenly, they will definitely make a sound.
Shouting. Why didn’t the neighbor next door hear it at all?”
Neighbors would wake up at night and report every sound. If there were screams, they would definitely not hide it.
Jian Yu wanted to think that the concealed weapon was coated with anesthetic, but when he thought of the ghostly screams of his men just now, he immediately put an end to this suspicion.
After everyone thought for a long time to no avail, they stopped thinking about it. Bai Yue said: "There is no need to worry about it. Now that it is certain that there is something wrong with Xie Pingsheng, just arrest him."
