Master Luo Cao

Zhao Ciji is a person who doesn't take soft and hard things. No matter how intimidating Kou Luoche is, or how good he is, he doesn't blink his eyelids, and only insists on two words - "No." Kou Luoche also took him for a while. There is no way, I can't kill him, so I have to order people to watch him every step of the way, and plan to deal with him after the important things at the moment are finished.

But today, Zhao Ciji suddenly became enlightened, and said to the person watching him: "I suddenly figured it out, I can give him what your village master wants."

The bandit in charge of monitoring was overjoyed, and was about to send someone back to the mountain to report the letter, but Zhao Ciji said, "Follow me to get it, and if you get it, hand it directly to your village master. If I wait until he comes, maybe I will change my mind. I don’t want to give it anymore.”

Although the bandit was skeptical, but he couldn't miss the opportunity, he called a few more people to follow him to the mass grave, and followed Zhao Ciji to a grave in the middle of the mass grave. Stretching out his hand to grope on the stone tablet for a while, suddenly there was a shock from the ground, and then there was a loud "click". In the midst of surprise, Zhao Ciji shouted: "No! There is a mechanism! Get back quickly!" Fleeing in the opposite direction, Zhao Ciji didn't see him following him. Looking back, he saw a big hole in the middle of the grave. Zhao Ciji smiled and waved at them, and jumped into the hole.

"It's been tricked!" When they ran back to the original place, the big hole that suddenly appeared, including a living person like Zhao Ciji, disappeared without a trace, as if the scene just now was just their hallucination.

Kou Luoche silently listened to his subordinates' narration, and a layer of frost covered his originally cold face.

A few bandits consciously failed the trust of the village master, and they all squatted cowardly and dejectedly.

"Look at how cowardly you all are!" Kou Luoche pointed at his nose and scolded: "There are so many strong men who can't even look at one person! Letting him run away in front of you is simply regarded as a Monkey playing! You have lost all face in our Eagle Village!"

Kou Luoche scolded several thick-backed and well-defined burly men who didn't even dare to lift their heads, and shrank into a big ball like quails.One of them felt aggrieved, and cried and said, "Village Master, we never expected that in such a ghostly place as Mass Burial Mounds, he...damn there is an agency, or else it's just us, Let's see how something can happen to a person..."

"You still have the face to say it!" Kou Luoche patted the armrest of the chair, "I didn't do anything soft or hard before, but he just refused to give it to him. What's the matter, after staying by your side for a few days, suddenly Did you change your temper? Are you a Buddha? Why did you think you could influence him or save sentient beings? He suddenly changed his mind, there must be a conspiracy behind the scenes, and he should notify me as soon as something like this happens! Letting you be fine and pretending to be awesome, it will be better now, it will be ruined by the sun!"

The bandits froze and didn't dare to answer a word, while Fu Yunshu, who was originally sitting on the sidelines, stared at him dumbfounded.Sensing Fu Yunshu's gaze, Kou Luoche quickly smiled flatteringly at him, pointed to his own head, and said, "The village is full of rough men with no education, and if they don't say something simple and easy to understand, they won't understand it." .”

Fu Yunshu couldn't help laughing, and said: "Although I had doubts at first, I never wanted to believe that a gentleman like Brother Kou would be a bandit. Now I see..."

Kou Luoche also smiled and said, "Now that I look at it, what do you think?"

Fu Yunshu said: "I feel that my eyes are really badly blind. It seems that I have to find a free day in the future to go to Dr. Shao for treatment."

"It's too late to heal your eyes." Kou Luoqi moved to Fu Yunshu's side and squeezed his waist secretly, "You have already fallen into the hands of the bandits."

Fu Yunshu curled his lips, and was about to say something, when he caught a glimpse of the surprised and ambiguous eyes of the bandits below him from the corner of his eye, and hurriedly pushed Kou Luoche away, coughed pretendingly, and said, "Then what are you going to do next?" what to do?"

"Since it is an organ, there is naturally a way to crack it." Kou Luoqiao Shi Shiran stood up and said, "Take me to the grave where Zhao Ciji disappeared."

The mass graves are full of corpses and graves. Kou Luoche walked around the mound in front of him three or four times, but he didn't see any difference between it and the other mounds.He frowned and asked, "What did Zhao Ciji do before he jumped into the pit and disappeared?"

Several bandits gesticulated and said: "He has been digging and searching on that stone tablet for a long time!"

Kou Luoche's eyes fell on the stone tablet again.

This stone tablet is nothing more than an ordinary bluestone slab, without any pattern or carving on it. It looks as if it was randomly picked out from the ground of that street and placed on it. It seems that some words have been engraved on it. The rain was beating, it was already blurred, Kou Luoche stretched out his fingers and stroked slowly along the few remaining strokes, and then waited for a moment, nothing happened.

He frowned and gave a "tsk" sound, and said, "What is he doing? Have you seen it?"

Several bandits shook their heads like a rattle.

"What's the use of you guys?!" Kou Luoche scolded, turned his head and concentrated on studying the stele again.

A familiar voice came from a distance below the mass grave, "Brother Kou, how is it?"

Fu Yunshu insisted on following, and said that he would hang himself if he was not allowed to come. Kou Luoche had no choice but to pack him in a carriage and transport him safely to the mass grave. They forced people to watch Fu Yunshu wait for him at the foot of the mountain.So the little county magistrate could only stand on tiptoe and look up eagerly.

Kou Luoche, in order to save him from shouting at the top of his voice, trotted all the way down the mountain and walked up to him, saying: "Since Zhao Ciji dared to hide the evidence about Tangji and Caishengmen here, he must be right The organization here is quite confident, and I really can't find any flaws for a while."

Fu Yunshu's eyes brightened, and he said, "Why don't you let me try!"

"You?" Kou Luoqi narrowed his eyes and scanned him from head to toe, and said, "Can you do it?"

"Why can't I?" Fu Yunshu puffed his cheeks and said angrily.

Kou Luoche smiled, and rubbed his head like a comforting child, "Forget it, you stay quietly for a while, or I will send someone to call Qingyanzi to study together."

Fu Yunshu dragged his voice and said in a low voice: "Lu Tian, ​​do you look down on me?"

Kou Luoche hurriedly said, "Don't dare."

Fu Yunshu glanced at Kou Luoche, who was smiling at the corner of his mouth, and cursed secretly, "Damn it". This guy is treacherous, cunning, and stubborn, and there is really no other way... He rolled his eyes, imitating those girls in the brothel , softly leaning against Kou Luoche, "Brother Ah Tian, ​​I'm dizzy."

Kou Luoche took him into his arms clearly, rubbed his temples, and said: "If you feel dizzy, go back and rest."

"I don't," Fu Yunshu played a rogue shamelessly, "I'm going up to get some air!"

"Hey," Kou Luoche was unmoved by the beauty, and persistently broke his shoulders and pushed towards the carriage, "I said, I will take care of all the troubles, you just go back and rest." .”

Seeing that he was about to be pushed back into the carriage, Fu Yunshu tightly grabbed Kou Luoqiao's arm, and said anxiously: "Lu Tian, ​​if we have the ability, let's make a bet!"

Kneading the hand on his shoulder for a while, Kou Luoche asked with great interest: "What bet? What kind of bet?"

Fu Yunshu said: "You let me go up and see if I can find clues to crack the organ!"

Kou Luoche smiled and said, "What if you found out, so what if you didn't find out?"

"If I find out, even if I win, you let me deal with it for a day." Fu Yunshu said.

Kou Luoche asked: "What if you lose?"

Fu Yunshu suddenly grabbed Kou Luoche's shoulders, put his mouth close to his ear, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Then I will let the village master handle it." After finishing speaking, Fu Yunshu saw Kou Luoche clearly from the corner of his eyes He's Adam's apple rolled up and down.

"Okay then." After weighing quickly, Kou Luoche reluctantly agreed, and said: "But you can't stay on it for too long, this damn place, I stand for a long time, and my back feels chilly." At the end, I added 300 taels of silver here, "I don't want you to be sad, not to win your bet."

Fu Yunshu smiled immediately, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

The few people guarding the graveyard watched helplessly as their village master went down the mountain alone, and then came back hand in hand with the village master's wife, their faces filled with sullen and unknowing smiles.

Facing the complicated gazes, Fu Yunshu was a little embarrassed, and secretly shook off Kou Luojia's hand, walked to the stone tablet, squatted down, looked at it for a moment, and asked, "You said earlier, Zhao Ciji It was after tampering with this stone tablet that the mechanism was opened?"

Several people said: "Yes."

Fu Yunshu then stretched out his hand, like Kou Luoche did before, slowly stroking the few remaining strokes on the stone tablet.Kou Luoche said: "It's useless, Xi Chen, I've already touched it before, how can this mechanism be so simple? These few strokes must have another mystery, maybe you have to touch it in a certain order to open the mechanism. "

Fu Yunshu silently touched the strokes over and over again, wondering if he had listened to Kou Luoche's words.Kou Luoqi stood by and watched for a while, worried about his body, he couldn't help but call out: "Zhechen, why don't you stand up and rest for a while?"

"Brother Kou!" Fu Yunshu suddenly said, "Bring paper and ink!"

Kou Luoche asked: "What's wrong?"

Fu Yunshu said: "I want to rub the traces on this stele."

Kou Luoche immediately ordered his subordinates to go get the things used for the rubbing immediately, and then squatted down beside Fu Yunshu, and said, "What did you notice?"

The corners of Fu Yunshu's lips curled up, his eyes couldn't hide his pride, and he said, "Brother Kou, you're going to let me handle it this time."

"Oh? So confident?" Kou Luoche gently bumped him with his elbow, "What did you find out?"

Fu Yunshu turned his head away from him, "You'll find out later."

How could he still be tricked... Kou Luoche couldn't help laughing, and said again: "Then what do you want to do with me?"

The little county magistrate turned his head back to him and said nothing, but the roots of his ears blushed silently.

Kou Luoche's heart was itching, and he was thinking about how to lure Fu Yunshu to tell the truth, the subordinate who was sent to Zhimo earlier rushed back panting, "The village... the village owner... I snatched... I borrowed it! "

For the first time, Kou Luoche hated his subordinates for working too fast.

Fu Yunshu turned back and smiled at him, "I'm sorry." He took the paper from his hand, wet it with water, and pasted it on the stone tablet. After the paper was dry, brushed it with ink, and after a while, gently peeled off the paper The strokes on the stele were copied onto the paper.

Compared with the blurred inscriptions on the stele, the strokes on the paper are obviously more intuitive. Kou Luoqiao leaned over to take a look, frowned and murmured: "Horizontal, vertical, horizontal... There are only two strokes, horizontal and vertical, but except for the far right Apart from the fact that this stroke is extremely long, it seems to be nothing unusual?"

Fu Yunshu said: "Don't just look at individual strokes, you connect them together, does it look like a pattern?"

Kou Luoche looked at it, his pupils gradually shrank, "Like... an ax?"
