Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 167
"Damn, we have worked so hard to move rocks down from the mountain, and now we are going to smash them into pieces. Are you playing us like monkeys?" A man with a scar on his face and a ferocious expression said viciously. scolded.

"I've got bleeding blisters on my hand, quit it, quit it!" Another man with a broken finger threw the chisel aside and lay down on the ground angrily.

"Hush, keep your voice down, if they hear you, you will be beaten again." A thin man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks said, pointing at the soldiers standing not far away.

The scarred man stared, "Why are you afraid of him? There are so many brothers, how many of them can they deal with?"

"Brother Scar is right. There are only 30 to [-] of them. Let's swarm up and tie them all up, and then go back to Zhengyang City to eat meat and drink. Wouldn't it be better than suffering here?" Severed Finger scrambled to his feet, Excited authentic.

The monkey-cheeked man glanced at them and shook his head.

"What? Are you afraid?" the scarred man sneered.

"It's not that I'm afraid, haven't you guys heard about it? County Captain Wang was chopped off today!" The man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks shrunk his neck, carefully glanced around his eyes, and lowered his voice.

"What? County Captain Wang... is dead? Who killed it?" The man with the scar was shocked.

"Who else can there be, the new county magistrate? You don't know, now Zhengyang County has spread the word that this county magistrate is a god who descended to earth and can command ghosts and gods to help him. Dao, will die in Huangquan."

"Lin Laosan, what you said is true or not... are you really so magical?" Broken Finger looked a little stunned.

"Don't listen to his nonsense! I don't believe that there are gods in this world. Captain Wang died as soon as he died. Anyway, I want to leave this ghostly place. Who of you will go with me?" The scarred man said with a grim expression after he calmed down.

Several people fell into silence for an instant. They looked at each other for a while, and they all lowered their heads in thought.

Seeing this, the scarred man said fiercely: "I can tell you, this breach is getting bigger and bigger. Maybe tomorrow, this place will be submerged by floods. By then, even if you want to leave, I'm afraid you won't be able to."

A few people thought for a while, and the severed finger took the lead and said: "I'll go with you! Damn it, I've had enough! Back in Zhengyang City, I want to find three or five chicks, so I can have a good time."

When the rest of the people heard the words, their eyes lit up. They no longer hesitated, and nodded to express their willingness to follow the scarred man.

"Now it's your turn, do you want to go or not?" the scarred man asked while staring at the man with the sharp-mouthed monkey cheek.

The sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked Lin Lao San hesitated, and after a while, he said: "Brother Scar, now the entire Zhengyang City is under the control of the county magistrate, even if he escapes, he will be found out. What's more, The county magistrate issued an order saying that as long as we block the breach, we will forget about our past affairs."

"So, you don't want to go with us?" The scarred man's voice suddenly turned cold.

Lin Laosan said with an apologetic face: "I have done a lot of bad things with Wang Buquan these years. Now, I have a chance to start a new life. I want to make a clean break with the past and be an ordinary person in the future."

"Trash! You are so naive, do you really believe what the county magistrate said? It's ridiculous!" The scarred man snorted coldly with a murderous look in his eyes.

"The magistrate's reputation is not bad, I believe him." Lin Laosan thought for a moment, then said solemnly.

The scarred man snorted coldly, "If you believe him, does that mean you are going against us?"

Lin Laosan was stunned for a moment, and he quickly waved his hands: "Don't worry, Brother Scar, I will not betray you."

A fierce look appeared on the corner of the scarred man's mouth. He made a sudden move, grabbed Lin Laosan's neck, and said ferociously, "Since you want to be a new man, I will give you this chance!"

Lin Laosan didn't expect the man with the scar to jump down on the killer. His throat was tightly grabbed, and he struggled desperately, trying to break free from the scar's control.

Scar didn't expect Lin Laosan to struggle so violently, he desperately pinched Lin Laosan's throat, and shouted to the stunned people: "Let me watch out, don't let anyone find out!"

Several people stood up immediately, pretending to be knocking on the stone, and cleverly blocked the scar and Lin Laosan.

The place where they stayed was at the edge of the Dragon King Temple. The stones piled up here were as high as half a person, but no one could notice them.

Lin Laosan struggled desperately a few times, his eyes rolled up, and his limbs gradually lost their movement.

"Brother...Brother, you killed someone!" Severed Finger caught a glimpse of Youngest Lin, and immediately trembled in fright.

"If I don't kill him, he will definitely inform us and betray us." Scar spat and said solemnly: "Instead of taking risks, it is better to kill him directly!"

Broken Finger and the others turned pale for a while, looking at the scars, a burst of cold sweat suddenly broke out from their backs.

"Why are you still standing there, why don't you go!" Scar glanced at the crowd who were struggling to dig stones in the distance, seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he hurriedly said in a low voice.

At this time, Scar's murderous intentions suddenly arose, and his whole body exuded a tyrannical aura. Fearing that he would kill them, the members of the severed fingers hurriedly followed Scar and sneaked into the water.

Li Canghai was in the Dragon King Temple, calculating his own method, possible accidents, and knew nothing about what happened outside.

Before he knew it, Li Canghai dozed off leaning against the statue of the Dragon King.

"My lord, my lord?"

In the dimness, he seemed to hear someone calling him, "Master, wake up, something happened."

Hearing this, Li Canghai suddenly woke up.

I saw a soldier standing in front of him, saluting him.

These are the soldiers sent to him by Huangfu Kun. Originally, after taking away Wang Buquan's influence, he planned to send them back to return to his command, but he was worried that Chang Feng would not be able to deter those people, so he let them come with Chang Feng.

The soldier knew him, so he came to report immediately after something happened.

"What happened?" Li Canghai rubbed his face and asked in question.

"Go back to your lord, he's dead," said the soldier.

Li Canghai was stunned for a moment, and immediately followed the soldier out of the Dragon King Temple.

On the left side of the Dragon King Temple, there are many people whispering there.

"Get out of the way, the county magistrate is here."

The soldier shouted in a low voice, and the onlookers immediately parted to make way for them.

Li Canghai walked over, and when he saw a corpse lying near the water's edge, his brows frowned.

The corpse was lying on the ground, unable to see the face clearly. He walked over, put on gloves made of white cloth, and turned the corpse over.

The corpse seemed to have been soaked in river water, showing a ghastly white color.

Just as he was about to examine the corpse carefully, he suddenly found that the place where the corpse was lying was a little strange, so he hurriedly shoveled up the dirt.
