Aggrieved Fish Sprite

The two dead men were thrown into the earth temple.

The torrential rain has just stopped, and the wind blowing over is still cool, but as the sun reappears, the accumulated water will evaporate quickly.

In the evening, it will be as hot as a steamer again.

"They left just like that?" a dead man said in disbelief.

He wasn't killed, tortured, or even abolished his martial arts.

Such a cunning and ruthless mysterious expert, a doctor who is so skilled in medicine that he can even rescue people who committed suicide by taking poison, just let them go like this?

"It's clear that they want to see where we are going and follow us."

Another dead man panted and said that he was the one who had taken the poison before. Although he received timely treatment and his life was not in danger, the poison still caused a certain degree of damage.He was weak all over, his eyes were dizzy, his throat was burning, and his stomach was convulsed from vomiting.

The internal strength exerted by Meng Qi not only made them feel unbearable pain, but also stimulated the spirit of this dead man to some extent.

Now the pain disappeared, and the person he feared was gone again, and the dead man began to feel drowsy.

"He wants to see us flustered, wants to know if we...are telling the truth, wants to intimidate...can't go back, can't..."

The dead man's voice became intermittent and gradually turned incoherent.

The other person originally wanted to agree, but seeing his companion's appearance, his expression was complicated.

To be pretended to be a dead soldier is naturally ready to die long ago.The sooner one dies, the better. Procrastinating for a long time in the hands of the interrogator is actually suffering.It is also a common tactic for interrogators to let go on purpose, letting them escape and then stalking them.

Dead men don't fall for it, the fact is that the moment they go out to carry out their orders, they don't go back.

They are pawns destined to be abandoned.

Behind a big tree not far from the Earth Temple, Mo Li couldn't help but ask, "What is he thinking?"

Meng Qi's acupuncture technique did not last long, and the people inside should have been able to move freely half an hour ago.

This land temple is very simple, there is no incense burner in front of the door to block the view, and the entrance is a shrine dedicated to the land.Although the temple is complete, the tiles are leak-proof, the walls are air-tight, and there are still some dry offerings on the table, the incense is really not strong.

The ink carp is so simple that it can see the people inside at a glance.

"It seems that they don't intend to leave." Mo Li frowned.

Meng Qi came out from the other side of the tree, holding the outer robe he just took off in his hand.

He is removing stitches.

The thread used to sew the gown is naturally very strong, and it is very inconvenient to take it apart because it is twisted in two layers.

Xia Ri's clothes are thin, and now he only has a white obscene clothes, Mo Li slightly turned his head to avoid looking.

"Doctor, you don't need to do this." Meng Qi stretched out his arms and signaled.

Obscene clothes are clothes that are worn next to the body. In fact, they are not very shady. They are usually long-sleeved trousers, which are very tightly covered.The summer shirt is slightly shorter, with the half of the arm below the elbow exposed.Strictly speaking, farmers go to the field with less clothes than this.

However, the etiquette is like this, you can only wear obscene clothes and you can't see people.

Unless it is an extremely close relationship, or a family member, it refers to the servants at home, maids, servants and so on.

Now... the relationship is fine, it's just that it's in broad daylight after all.

Mo Li is not a pedantic teacher who strictly abides by etiquette, because he doesn't care about these things when he is curing diseases and saving lives, but seeing Mr. Meng Qi dangling in front of his eyes like this, he has a feeling of wanting to pick up the gerbil and stuff it into a bamboo cup, and put it in his arms , let it settle down and be more honest.

——Don't always do these misleading and frightening actions.

Just now when the two dead men saw Meng Qi undressing calmly, their eyes almost fell out.

"doctor?"

"...It's nothing, why didn't you say they left?" Mo Li turned to look at the Earth Temple.

"What the interrogators can think of, they can too." Meng Qi didn't care, and continued to unravel the thread on the robe.

His movements were so proficient as if he had unpacked his clothes a hundred times, Mo Li couldn't help but look sideways.

"You are this?"

"Oh, people have a bad habit. No matter what kind of secret news they like to write on notes, and then sew them in the interlayer of clothes or shoe uppers." Meng Qi spread his hands, and then said quickly, "Of course, don't think about it on the dead man. , usually there is nothing, and there is something that misleads you."

Mo Li had no intention of going back to the Earth Temple to take off the clothes of the two dead men. He just stared at Meng Qi and said, "So, you are very familiar with the wiring on the clothes?"

"..."

Although I am looking forward to the clothes the doctor makes for me, I still have to defend myself.

"No, I can only tear it apart, I haven't sewed it." Meng Qi picked out the seam line accurately, and then pulled it off, with a helpless expression, "It's like this."

Whether it was serving as a national teacher after the establishment of the Chu Dynasty, or leading troops to fight before the establishment of the Chu Dynasty, Meng Qi didn't need to do it himself to spread the news.

Mo Li didn't relax, and continued to ask: "So you mean, those two dead men inside can sew clothes?"

"Maybe." Meng Qi had a bad feeling.

He refused to wear the clothes made by the dead. What if the good doctor made it himself?

"Doctor, this... I can try it. As the saying goes, after reading a book a hundred times, you will see the truth. I am familiar with these stitches and sewing techniques after removing so many threads. Why don't we think about it together?" Meng Qi actively suggested.

Mo Li just looked at him and didn't speak.

Meng Qi raised his heart, and secretly vowed that the matter must be resolved quickly.

"Okay, first we need to find a suitable thread." Mo Li suggested calmly.

"You can buy more and practice your hands on old clothes first."

Meng Qi wished he could take Mo Li out of here immediately.

What dead men have been thrown in the earth temple, let them fend for themselves!

Meng Qi snatched the cloth from Mo Li's hand, he folded two pieces of cloth together, casually put it on his body, and walked out impatiently.

There was a smile in the ink carp's eyes.

Gerbils are chubby, soft and lovable, and there is no way for a certain dragon to pretend to be a fool and sit back and enjoy the rewards!

Mo Li may not be able to see what the dead man is planning, but he can see that Meng Qi is not in a hurry.Those two people were thrown out, but they really didn't care about it. They didn't want to follow them, nor did they want to continue to dig out other clues from them.

In other words, new clues should be brought by others.

A murder has happened in Mipu, and it will soon spread throughout the town.

Anyone who knows the details of the rice shop, or who wants to know what is special about this rice shop, will go to the rice shop to dig three feet.

If those people get nothing in the end, they can only turn their targets to them—the two people who took away the murderer of Mipu under the eyes of everyone.

Why did the shopkeeper of the rice shop die, and why did someone come to kill them?This secret is hard to hide, especially for Fengxing Pavilion, the killer of Piaoping Pavilion should not be slow.Even people from the rivers and lakes who are local snakes may be fascinated by gold, but no one will give up easily.

One business in Piaoping Pavilion is 600 taels of gold. Other businesses are not so big, but they are definitely not small.

If you master the money transportation channel of this mysterious killer organization, it is not difficult to intercept a ticket, and then take the money away from home and disappear without a trace, which is a very tempting temptation.

Although the risk is great, wealth and wealth are sought after in insurance.

People like Mr. Cai have seen and experienced a lot, and now they just want to be safe and able to refuse this temptation.But it's not necessarily the case for other people, the leader of Changxin can't, let alone the few Qi Dynasty Jinyiwei who have been covering up as bodyguards all year round.

gold.

Whoever has gold can do many things he wants to do.

Break away from everything that exists, enjoy wine and beauties, hide your name and go to another place to be a member of a rich family, or conspire to rebel like the Si family...

"This is a trap." Mo Li suddenly said.

The Si family rice shop reminds people, of course, is the Si family.

After the identity of the shopkeeper of Mipu is exposed, some people will follow the 600 taels of gold paid by King Wu to the killer organization, and turn to the mysterious channel of Piaoping Pavilion, while others will think about whether the Si family's gold will be in Is there a part hidden here?

Since the Si family wanted to rebel, they always had to stay back.

Even if this is not the case, it can't help others to think so.

Mo Li walked more and more slowly, the expression between his brows became more and more serious, and he suddenly turned around and plundered towards the Earth Temple.

"doctor?"

Sensing the movement, Meng Qi immediately turned around and sighed.

In the Earth Temple, one of the two dead men has turned into a corpse, and the other is missing.

Mo Li could tell at a glance that the corpse had been strangled to death, and there were cyan palm prints on the neck.

The body was still warm.

"He didn't go far." Mo Li immediately got up to identify the traces on the ground.

The footprints are not complicated, he and Meng Qi's lightness kung fu is very high, even if they walk on the muddy path due to the heavy rain, they will only leave a shallow trace.Although they have no intention of hiding their whereabouts, no one likes to step on the mud, so there is only one footprint that can be seen outside the Earth Temple.

very conspicuous.

The trees nearby could hardly hide his figure, Mo Li found a high place, and soon saw the stumbling figure.

Mo Li was about to chase after him, when a hand stretched out from the bottom and pulled him back.

Meng Qi shook his head at Mo Li: "He won't go back to his master. He knows very well that we might follow him."

"Then what is he doing? Why did he kill his companion?" Mo Li asked puzzled.

Meng Qi paused, and then said in a low voice: "Such dead men, even if they are released, they will commit suicide very quickly to keep the secret."

"But he's not dead?"

If they killed their companions instead, it would not be a dispute.

The ink carp could see clearly, there was no trace of a fight in front of the altar, and the dead did not resist, as if they were killed in a coma.

Meng Qi's voice rang in his ears.

"They are not pure dead soldiers. They have other things in their minds besides death and missions. The force that released them taught them how to deceive and mislead others, and told them how to avoid the torture of the interrogator. This is inevitable. Let the dead no longer be pure, they will have their own ideas."

Mo Li turned his head when he heard the sound, and looked at Meng Qi.

Meng Qi pressed Mo Li's shoulder and asked reassuringly: "How to make these people willingly sacrifice their lives? There must be something more important to the dead than their lives."

"Use poison and antidote to control?" Mo Li said subconsciously.

This was the joint influence of Qin Lu and Xue Ting, and it was also the first answer Dr. Mo could think of.

"It's very close, but it's unreliable. Think again." Meng Qi continued to explain, "There are many desperadoes in the Jianghu. Sometimes they don't even care about their own lives. Even if there is an antidote, they may not Keep them under control."

"Children, wives, relatives..."

Mo Li murmured, Meng Qi nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The dead men are often their servants, they are loyal, and they have a big family for the master to order. If they do something wrong, everyone in the family will be implicated Jianghu killers may have no father and no mother. They were raised to be cold-blooded and ruthless since they were young. interests."

Mo Li's throat moved, but he didn't say anything.

Most of the dead men he knew were in the biographies of assassins.

They are either avenging the Lord, or they are righteously eliminating treacherous ministers and faint emperors.Even in the Spring and Autumn Period, there was an assassin in the state of Jin who was deceived by the Lord to assassinate and found that the target was a good minister, but he was actually perverting the law. After realizing it, he slammed his head against a tree and died.

History books may only record loyalty, and a dead man is just a chess piece raised.

No matter what kind of people these two dead men are, they have always embarked on this road, and believe that their fate belongs to their masters.Now they say that they are willing to die, because what they have cultivated over the years is not loyalty, not repaying kindness, but death is good for parents, relatives and the whole family?

"We left because you gave them a chance to die."

Before, Mo Li thought that the dead man wanted to die because he wanted to keep a secret.

Now that the threat is gone, why should they seek death?If you don't want to be followed, you can walk around indiscriminately.

Meng Qi shook his head and said, "No...I know that one of them doesn't want to die."

"Because he failed to bite the poisonous sac?" Mo Li frowned and said disapprovingly, "Didn't he take a step too late, or just happened to be seen by me."

"No, he reacted the most when the account book was mentioned." Meng Qi pulled the cloth around his body and wrapped it around his arm, and then said slowly, "He is not afraid of death, but he doesn't have to die now, he can die now." If you don’t have to betray the master, you might be able to get the ledger and chase the gold, most people will be shaken. We gave him this choice because we left without killing him.”

"But...you didn't intend to chase him at all before?" Mo Li remembered that after Meng Qi snatched the cloth, he really wanted to leave, and just now he stopped himself from chasing him.

Meng Qi sighed, spread his hands and said: "Because he wants to use us, he knows that there are too many forces chasing the account books, including the mysterious Piaoping Pavilion, which he cannot handle alone, so all he can count on is We, for example, can take us to the account books and ask for a share of the money, and he is waiting for us to show up."

The ink carp slowly came to his senses.

Meng Qi coughed lightly, and talked about him from left to right.

"He overlooked one thing. Longmai is not interested in gold. We have as much as we want...By the way, are there any gold mines under Qimao Mountain? Although there are not many gold mines in Shangyun Mountain and they are very deep, there are silver mines. mines... what is more valuable are the many tombs in the mountain..."

Doctor Mo listened expressionlessly to the gerbils chattering about their belongings.

——Sorry, Qimao Mountain is too small, there is only one 300-year-old ginseng.
