A knife in love

Chapter 524

Fan Tong tremblingly said: "Lord Baihu, what should I do with this?"

Liao Dagang also had a pale face, trembling uncontrollably, looking at Li Qiufeng eagerly, hoping that he would come up with an idea.

Li Qiufeng knew that two policemen died in this tomb, which was considered a major case.And Guan Yu's head was stolen by Situ Qiao, which is even more shocking.The prefect of Luoyang will definitely not be able to suppress this case. I am afraid that even the governor of Henan will be held accountable by the court.Fan Tong and Liao Dagang were just two arresting heads of the prefect's yamen in Luoyang. They might be considered number one figures in Luoyang City, but in the eyes of the provincial governor's yamen and the court, they were nothing more than small officials as big as sesame seeds and mung beans.In the officialdom, the high-ranking officials have always crushed people to death. After a major crime occurs, if the criminal cannot be caught for a while, the subordinates will be asked to take the blame.Fan Tong and Liao Gang happened to be at the scene of the crime, and they were the best candidates for the scapegoat.The two of them had been in the officialdom for a long time, so they naturally knew about these shady scenes.

Li Qiufeng said: "You two don't have to worry, I have my own way. These two arrests died at the hands of gangsters, but it can't be said that they died in the Guanzhong. Let's move the bodies of the two out of the Guanzhong first. It is only said that he was murdered by gangsters in Guandi Shengjun Temple. In this way, no one will know the secrets of the Guan Yu’s head. The fact that Guan Yu’s head was stolen can naturally be covered up. Return Guan Yu's head and put it back into the coffin without anyone noticing, and the case will be closed."

When he said this, he looked at Fan Tong and Liao Dagang, and said, "What do you think?"

Fan Tong and Liao Dagang only hoped to suppress the case and not bring troubles to the provincial capital and the court.At this moment, listening to Li Qiufeng's words, this shocking case can be temporarily covered up, at worst, a "gangster commits murder and kills a gentleman", as long as the trouble is not brought to the Ministry of Punishment and the Luoyang Mansion investigates and handles it, this matter will be easy to handle a lot.If you really can't solve the case, you might as well find a death row prisoner from the prison, put all the blame on him, and then try to kill him in prison, the case will be dead without proof.Fan Tong and Liao Dagang were able to rise from fast catch to head catch, but they did a lot of shady things.Finding someone to take the blame is what the police are best at.So when they heard what Li Qiufeng said, they hurriedly nodded their heads in agreement.

In fact, the two of them had another thought, since Li Qiufeng belonged to Jin Yiwei, but he came up with such an idea, then even if something happens in the future, Jin Yiwei will naturally be responsible, and the two of them can get out of the matter.If Li Qiufeng wasn't Jin Yiwei, and his martial arts were so strong, the two of them would strike in this tomb, kill Li Qiufeng, and blame him.It's just that this plan can't be told to Li Qiufeng, it's just hidden in the hearts of the two of them.

Immediately, the three of them put the lid of the coffin back on, and put the altar table back to its original position.Li Qiufeng knew that there were more than a dozen silver needles inserted on the altar, but the needles were highly poisonous, but he did not dare to reach out to remove the silver needles.But Liao Gang thought of an idea, took off an oil lamp from the stone wall, roasted more than a dozen silver needles inserted on the altar table with a flame until they were red, and then knocked all the silver needles off the altar table with a steel knife.After being roasted by fire, the poison on the needle has completely dissipated. Even if someone accidentally touches the silver needle, it will not be a serious problem.

The three of them restored all the disordered objects in the stone room to their original state, and then Fan Tong and Liao Dagang each carried the body of a policeman on their backs, and then retreated along the corridor.Li Qiufeng said to the two of them as he walked: "You two captives, let's talk about the ugly first. There are many jade articles in Guan Yu's coffin, each of which is priceless. It's just that tomb robbery is a felony. He will be executed, and even the entire family will be harmed. We escaped from the tomb by chance today, and we must not be greedy. If there is something missing in this tomb in the future, I am afraid that the heads of the two heads will be a bit small reliable."

Fan Tong and Liao Dagang felt a chill in their hearts, and hurriedly said they didn't dare.

The three of them walked to the end of the corridor, and the exit was sealed by stone slabs.Liao Dagang was proficient in the mechanism information, and quickly found the mechanism to open the stone gate on the stone wall.The stone slab was "rolled" open, and the three of them walked out.When Night Breeze hit their faces, all three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Qiufeng was about to ask Liao Dagang to close the entrance again, but when he heard a harsh sound of rubbing, the entrance of the cave was closed by stone slabs again, and there seemed to be no gaps.Liao Dagang said: "This mechanism has a reset mechanism, and it will automatically close soon after it is opened. It seems that Cao Cao had already set up this mechanism when he built Guan Yu's tomb. This mechanism is not complicated, as long as you understand a little bit of mechanism The technique of information can decipher it. But for thousands of years, no one has ever opened the tomb of Emperor Guan, which is really strange."

Li Qiufeng said: "Although Guan Yu died in the army, he did not end well. It is just that he was loyal all his life and won the respect of the world. Naturally, no one would dare to think about his tomb. If he hadn't met that foolish man today, I am afraid no one in the world would Dare to play tricks on Guan Zhong."

Before Li Qiufeng finished speaking, his expression changed, and he said, "No, someone is here!"

Fan Tong and Liao Dagang were taken aback, their martial arts were not as pure as Li Qiufeng's, but they didn't notice anything unusual, and when they were about to ask, Li Qiufeng whispered to them: "It sounds like there are five or sixty people. He is a member of the government. The two only said that a gangster suddenly committed an attack, killed two policemen and then fled. As for the affairs in the Guanzhong, you must not disclose it. This official is one step ahead, and the two can take care of themselves."

After Li Qiufeng finished speaking, he tapped his right foot and jumped two feet away. After a few ups and downs, he climbed onto the fence and disappeared in an instant.When Fan Tong and Liao Dagang saw Li Qiufeng retreating suddenly, their hearts were filled with surprise and doubt. Just when they didn't know what to do, Fan Tong's expression changed, but he also heard the sound of chaotic footsteps in the distance.He trembled in his heart and thought to himself: "This Jin Yiwei's martial arts are so good, far above me. I can't hear the footsteps of the person coming, but he has already noticed it. This person appeared in Luoyang. I don't know. Whether it’s good or bad.”

At this time, Liao Dagang also heard the footsteps, he was startled, and said to Fan Tongdao, "My lord, someone is really coming, what should we do?"

Fan Tong gritted his teeth and said to Liao Dagang: "Just do as that Jin Yiwei said, if something happens, he will naturally stand up to it!"

The two of them finished speaking, only to hear someone yelling loudly: "Fan Butou, the prefect has arrived, please come out and meet!"

Liao Dagang was taken aback, and said in a low voice, "It's Lao Feng's voice. It looks like our brothers from Qilihe have also rushed over."

Fan Tongdao: "Since the magistrate has arrived, they will naturally follow. We just need to follow the Jin Yiwei's wishes, and don't create any other incidents."

The two glanced at the two corpses on the ground, and then quickly walked around to the front of Guan Zhong.But I saw that the lanterns and torches were shining together, and there were nearly a hundred people standing in front of Guan Tomb.The first person was wearing a black gauze and a red robe, with a fair complexion and a very majestic appearance. It was Han Qusi, the prefect of Luoyang.

Fan Tong and Liao Dagang hurried forward to salute, Han Qusi waved his hands, and said, "Fan Butou, Liao Butou, I ordered you to wait for defense at Qilihe, why did you come to Guandi Temple without authorization? Old Fu Where did Lao Gao go?"

Fan Tong bowed and said: "Master Zhifu, the lower officials were originally guarding the Qili River, but after careful consideration, since Shi Tianbao followed the tomb robber to the Guandi Temple, and then died not far from the Guandi Temple, I am afraid that the Guandi Temple will There is something strange in the emperor's temple. The next official took Liao Butou and other three brothers to the Guandi Shengjun Temple to investigate. Unexpectedly, just after arriving here, they were attacked by the enemy. Fu Butou and Gao Butou were suddenly attacked , has unfortunately died..."

"What?!" Han Qusi didn't wait for Fan Tong to finish speaking, his complexion changed drastically, he pointed at Fan Tong and said angrily, "Fan Tong, you disobeyed the order of the superior, left your post without authorization, and broke into this Guandi Temple. Two head catchers died, how can I explain this to the Governor?"

Fan Tong knelt down on the ground with a "plop", and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, the officials are dedicated to solving the case, and found something suspicious. I'm afraid that the thief escaped, and I didn't have time to report to my lord, so I acted privately. The crime of this matter is entirely my fault." On the official body, please forgive me, my lord."

Han Qusi's face was ashen, and he walked a few steps on the ground.Turning around, he said to the people following behind him: "Master Ji stays here, the rest of the people all leave the Guanzhong and wait for orders!"

After everyone withdrew, only a chunky middle-aged man was left standing beside Han Qusi.The man had a treacherous look on his face, holding a lantern in his right hand and twisting his beard with his left hand, as if he was thinking about something.

Seeing that everyone had withdrawn, Han Qusi lowered his voice and said to Fan Tong: "Old Fan, what's going on?"

Fan Tong said in a trembling voice: "My lord, the matter is indeed as the official said. Captain Liao can testify."

Liao Dagang knelt on one side, raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, what Fan Butou said is indeed the truth."

Han Qusi snorted, turned to the short fat man and said, "Master Ji, what do you think?"

Master Ji smiled slightly and said: "Sir, you don't have to worry, students have their own arrangements."

After he finished speaking, he said to Fan Tong: "Captain Fan, is this the scene of the murder?"

Fan Tongtong: "Fu Tutou and Gao Tutou died behind Guanzhong..."

Master Ji didn't wait for him to finish, and immediately said: "Fan Butou, take me and the prefect to have a look."

Fan Tong knelt on the ground, but didn't dare to get up for a while, just looked at Han Qusi.Han Qusi looked angry and said: "You all get up, take me and Master Ji to have a look."

Only then did Fan Tong and Liao Dagang get up, and brought Master Ji and Han Qusi to the back of Guan Zhong.Holding the lantern, Master Ji walked around the corpses of Fu and Gao twice, and said in a calm manner, "How many murderers did you two catchers see?"

Liao Gang looked at Fan Tong, but dared not speak.Fan Tongdao: "There is only one murderer, and his martial arts are very good. In addition, he suddenly attacked with a hidden weapon. We were caught off guard and caught his way. Fu Butou and Gao Butou were hit by the murderer's poisonous needle. Just got into misfortune.”

Master Ji nodded, took a few steps with a lantern in his hand, and then said in a leisurely manner: "Recently, there are thieves running amok in the capital and Hebei area. Fleeing in the territory of Henan. After my Luoyang government received the official documents from the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Henan governor's office, I immediately forwarded the documents to the counties under the Luoyang government and laid a net. The thieves were surrounded by Luoyang government officials and righteous people, and they fought stubbornly. , 17 thieves were killed, and only one thief was seriously injured and escaped. Fu Zhong and Gao Gui, the deputy squad leaders of the Luoyang government yamen, fought bravely and killed several thieves. Shi Tianbao, a volunteer, volunteered to assist the yamen Unfortunately, he was killed when he captured the thief. Our government specially asked the governor to go to the court to pay compensation to the families of Fu Zhong, Gao Gui and Shi Tianbao, in order to commend loyalty and encourage Luoyang officials and people. As for the absconding thieves, our government has strictly ordered our subordinates to arrest them , Arrest him and bring him to justice as soon as possible. The governor please strictly order the prefectures and counties around Luoyang to strengthen their vigilance to prevent thieves from fleeing and committing crimes."

Master Ji smiled slightly when he said this, and thought to Han Qu: "My lord, how did you do with the student's article?"
