Zongwu: The Days of Mixing in the Tongfu Inn

Chapter 123 Solve the stench incident

Lei Lao Wu had just opened the tunnel with his head in the dirt, and before he got out of the hole, he saw the county government servants surrounding him.

Seeing the stern expressions of the yamen servants and other people holding knives, Lei Laowu smiled awkwardly, and then slowly crawled out of the cave under the cold eyes of everyone.

As for the idea of ​​getting into the hole and running directly, he didn't think about it at all. He knew that there were Zhang Chen and Bai Zhantang outside, and he couldn't escape if he wanted to.

When Zhang Chen and Bai Zhantang walked to the county government office, they happened to find that Lou Zhixian and a group of government officials were interrogating Lei Laowu.

Lei Laowu was hesitating at this time and didn't know what to say. He couldn't just admit that he was a tomb robber, so wouldn't he just give away his head?

Seeing Zhang Chen and Bai Zhantang coming in, he quickly gestured for them to help, and Lei Laowu couldn't help laughing with the look of a man asking for help.

Seeing their interaction, Lou Zhixian, who was sitting at the top, asked suspiciously:

"What's the matter with you two coming here so late?"

"Do you know the people in the hall?"

Seeing Lou Zhi County questioning, Zhang Chen suppressed a smile and saluted with fists, then said:
"Returning to the magistrate, we didn't discuss the matter of dredging the blocked underground waterway before. This Mr. Lei and Mr. Lei are the experts I found to clear the road."

These words surprised Lou Zhixian and said:
"The expert you invited really doesn't follow the usual path! Instead of going through the main entrance, he wants to dig a hole. Is this the legendary demeanor of an expert?"

Seeing Lou Zhixian's understanding of Lei Laowu's behavior of drilling holes, Zhang Chen is of course willing to continue, otherwise it can't be said that it is because of a bet!

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen continued with a smile:

"This is him giving you Xiaolu a hand, so you can see his skills"

Lou Zhixian laughed loudly when he heard the words, and signaled his servants to let Lei Laowu go, then walked out of the lobby and came to Lei Laowu's side, cupped his hands slightly and said:

"This Mr. Lei really came in time. Advisor Zhang must have told you about the situation in this county. Please forgive me for leaving early tomorrow morning without delay."

After speaking, Lou Zhixian looked at Lei Laowu waiting to talk, but at this time Lei Laowu was blank-headed and dazed, Zhang Chen and Bai Zhantang hadn't had time to say anything.

Now that the courteous corporal in Louzhi County, he knew that if he behaved wrongly, he would not have this attitude. At this moment, Lei Lao Wu thought a lot and finally had to pretend to be expressionless and nodded.

Seeing that Lei Laowu agreed, Lou Zhixian went to Zhang Chen and Bai Zhantang and said:
"This matter still requires you two to go to Cuiwei Mountain tomorrow to completely resolve this matter."

"This county thanks you both!"

Seeing Lou Zhixian saluting and thanking, the two quickly helped Lou Zhixian up and said that everyone is serving the court, needless to say so clearly.

After the matter was finalized, the two also took Lei Laowu to leave the county government office, so that Lou Zhixian and others could rest at ease, knowing that they had been negotiating very late because of the underground waterway.

After the three of them left the county office, Bai Zhantang teased and said:

"You won Lei Laowu, you dare to break into the county office openly, I can't do that"

Hearing this, Lao Wu quickly waved his hands and said:
"No more! No more! You didn't see the scene just now. Before I got out of the cave, more than a dozen yamen servants looked at me with indifferent eyes, as if they were about to eat me. I don’t want to come here again, I want to be famous but my life is the most important thing.”

After finishing speaking, Lei Lao Wu seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Zhang Chen, asking:

"Did you find me because of the underground pipeline?"

"Tell me in advance, if you arrest me because of that ancient tomb, I won't admit it!"

Seeing Lei Lao Wu's sudden vigilance, Zhang Chen shook his head and said:
"Don't worry! We don't specialize in this, and looking for you this time is what Lou Zhixian said in the hall just now."

"It's just that we suspect that the source of the stench this time is because you accidentally leaked something while robbing the tomb. Otherwise, it's just that the underground waterway is blocked, and it wouldn't have caused such a big disaster."

After knowing the cause and effect of the incident, Lei Lao Wu slowly stopped and stood on the street thinking for a while, then he accidentally bumped into a mechanism when he was leaving the ancient tomb, which led to the landslide of Cuiwei Mountain.

It's just that he was busy running for his life and didn't pay attention to this matter. Now after Zhang Chen reminded him, he recalled that he seemed to have accidentally released it at that time.

After thinking about these things clearly, Lei Lao Wu immediately became confident, patting his chest and expressing that it would be a piece of cake.

In other respects, he still dare not speak, but when it comes to underground matters, Lei Laowu is not weak in his life.

the next day!
Cuiwei Mountain landslide!

The yamen servants of the county government have led people to seal off the surrounding area. At this moment, the three people standing beside the robber's cave are Zhang Chen, Bai Zhantang, and Lei Laowu.

Early this morning, the three of them rushed here with the officials of the county government office, hoping to solve the matter thoroughly today, so as not to let the stench continue to spread.

After Lei Lao Wu prepared the tools, he took the Luoyang shovel and dug through the floating soil blocked in the cave, and disappeared into the dark robber's cave in a short while.

The sun gradually rises, about an hour later.

Zhang Chen and Bai Zhantang looked at the robbery cave a little anxiously. There was no news of Lei Laowu going in for so long, and they had no way of knowing what was going on inside.

Just when the two were in a hurry, a yamen servant who was in charge of guarding at the foot of the mountain ran quickly and saluted Zhang Chen with fists cupped and said:

"My lord, there was movement in the collapse at the foot of the mountain just now. I dare not rush to report here."

The eyes of the two lit up when they heard the words. It was obvious that Lei Lao Wu had opened up the passage to get there, which meant that everything was going well for him inside, which also made the two on the ground feel relieved.

At this time, Lei Lao Wu was walking carefully and slowly in the underground passage of the tomb, knocking on the ground and the stone walls on both sides from time to time to check for hidden weapons.

He has been investigating here for a while, but he still hasn't found any problems. If there is an unexpected discovery, he discovered a secret passage in this tomb leading directly to the foot of the mountain.

That secret passage had been crushed by the crushed rocks that fell during the landslide. Fortunately, this secret passage was only partially damaged and could be repaired. It took him a lot of effort to clear this secret passage.

The reason why Lei Laowu wanted to repair this secret passage was because he found no abnormal problems after he went down to the tomb again, but it was not easy to deal with the people above. With this secret passage, the people above could Come down and do a massive search.

　Thanks for the support!
