Yin Yuanhua grabbed his forehead and got up. He wanted to scold but didn't dare to scold. With that aggrieved look on his face, if he had been on the ground, he would have long ago attracted the loud ridicule of Jin Yiwei.
But right now, no one could take care of him.
"This is the upper floor," said Village Chief Liu. "Go this way, we went down there last time."
He led the way in front, Pang Qi and others lit the fire, and the surroundings were instantly brighter, and everyone could see it. The place where they are now should logically be the ear room on the left side of the palace gate in the underground palace. Scattered on the ground, there are still many boxes and pieces of porcelain, which have long been half-covered in dust and have been invaded by time. There is almost no complete equipment.
As the palace where Song Yingzong died, there used to be countless gold and silver treasures and precious porcelain buried with them. But now, only the exquisite patterns and blue bricks on the left and right sides of the arches and stone walls can prove that this place was once brilliant.
It's a pity that when many tomb robbers come here, they often only steal gold and silver treasures, but leave the porcelain figurines as if they were rubbish, and even destroy them in the process of robbing the tomb, so that the ground is now devastated. , even more broken than the ground.
But at this moment, few people are in the mood to care about such details. Tang Fan bent down and picked up a white object from the ground.
He brushed off the dust and found a little dried blood on it.
"What is this?" Suizhou ordered Village Chief Liu not to go out first, and asked everyone to look around carefully. When he saw Tang Fan was staring at the thing in his hand, he came over and asked.
"Jade Silkworm, this is not something from Song Ling, and the bloody color doesn't look like it's old. It should be because Qian San'er's master's gang was too hasty when they escaped and accidentally dropped it." Tang Fan road.
Hearing his words, people gathered around to watch.
Qian San'er said, "Yes, my master and Fatty Lu both said that if you go down on the second floor, you can see a lot of treasures!"
Tang Fan pondered: "I have some guesses in my heart, but I have to go further to find out. There may be a secret hidden under this Song Emperor's mausoleum."
Everyone looked at each other in dismay, not knowing what the secret he was talking about was.
Pang Qi snorted: "What about the corpses? If they escaped here, there should be corpses left behind!"
He looked at Qian San'er, as if he wanted him to give an explanation, but the latter took two steps back due to his stare, and stammered: "Little, little people, I don't know, my master and the others just said they escaped all the way, The babies are all gone, maybe, maybe it's them?"
Tang Fan said, "Keep going."
Sui Zhou nodded: "Everyone, be careful."
The group walked out of the ear room. In fact, there was only one road ahead. The angle of the robbery hole chosen by Qian San'er's group was really tricky. There was no trace of robbery near this place, but that did not mean that there were less tomb robbers here. Ruined, it can be said that the entire Song Emperor Mausoleum, except for the ruins and broken tiles, rotten wood and broken porcelain, even if there are treasures, they should have been stolen and dug up by people for more than a hundred years.
So when they found scattered golden beasts and golden earrings and other things on the road again, they were very surprised. Not only that, but occasionally they could step on round golden beads, or coral jade Huang, cloud pattern jade belt hook Wait, not to mention that Qian San'er couldn't help bending over to pick it up, even a self-confident person like Yin Yuanhua, Tang Fan saw that he couldn't help but quietly put a gold bead into his arms.
In comparison, the guards in Jinyi can restrain themselves. Tang Fan was holding a silver bracelet inlaid with turquoise and mussel pieces, and stuck with gold foil, which he had just discovered under his feet. The guess in his heart had gradually taken shape. .
They walked out of the ear room and walked along the passage to the underground stele pavilion in the main hall, but saw Village Chief Liu walk around behind the stele pavilion in three steps and two steps, and said in surprise, "This is it! We went down from here last time. !"
This underground stele pavilion is spectacularly built, twice as large as the ordinary stele pavilion on the ground. There are three stone steles in the middle, which record the achievements of Song Yingzong in his life. Of course, Yingzong was only three emperors. Years, no matter how many achievements, it is impossible to compare to Emperor Renzong Taizong, so the number of words is not enough to make up nonsense, and the words are all praises. The gorgeous words are engraved on it as if they don't need money. Looking at the entrance pointed to by Village Chief Liu.
The lower layer of the underground palace is used to place the emperor's coffin, and it is also the center of the underground palace. This entrance is also excavated the day after tomorrow, not the original entrance of the underground palace. They entered another entrance. After more than 100 years of continuous attempts, judging from their unimpeded access on the upper level, there are probably not many lower level organs left.
Suizhou asked everyone to be careful, and then the village chief Liu went down first. This is not because Suizhou wanted him to be cannon fodder, but the village chief Liu was the only person who had been here. Compared with others, he was already the most familiar with the road. .
Pang Qi and others brought enough fire books, and they were not worried that they would run out. When everyone stepped on the blue bricks on the lower floor of the underground palace, the firelight in their hands was enough to illuminate the entire surrounding space.
"There is blood here!" Yan Li whispered.
Everyone's heart jumped, and they looked at the place he pointed, but they saw a pool of dark red, almost black, dried up traces on the ground, and there were several pieces of gold foil that were also blackened with blood.
A Jinyiwei bent down, picked up the gold foil pieces, and handed them to Suizhou.
Sui Zhou took it over and looked at it and said, "There must have been a fierce battle here, but all the corpses are gone. It may have been swallowed by monsters, so everyone should be careful and try not to get separated. Just gather around and prepare to use firearms."
Needless to say, everyone felt the strangeness here, especially Qian San'er. He watched Li Kui's group go down with his own eyes, but when they came out, only his master and Fatty Lu came out. When they went down the next time, even the two of them folded their heads here and never went up again. What does this mean? It means that the danger here must have far exceeded the original expectation and imagination. Even Li Kui and others could not escape. It's a half-hearted stall like myself...
Qian San'er didn't dare to think about it any longer. He didn't even have any interest in the things scattered on the ground in front of him. Suddenly, he wanted to run back to the ground in one breath and be tanned by the warm sun.
It's a pity that he can't make the decision here, so he can only bite the bullet and continue on.
Tang Fan took the gold foil in Suizhou's hand, looked at it for a while, and said, "This is engraved with gold inscriptions."
Everyone's attention was drawn to him, and Sui Zhou asked, "What is Jinwen?"
Tang Fan: "Golden inscription is also called Zhong Dingwen. Before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was generally popular to be inscribed on bronze ritual vessels, but sometimes other funeral utensils also appear. These gold foils should have been pasted on some utensils and peeled off. down."
Suizhou's tacit understanding with him has reached a certain level. Hearing the song and knowing the elegant meaning, he immediately said: "What do you mean, the properties we have seen are not from the Song Emperor's Mausoleum, but from the Yonghou Mausoleum? "
Tang Fan nodded: "Qian San'er's master and village chief Liu both said that there is another layer below, if I guessed correctly, this should be a stacking hole, it's a coincidence that Yonghou Mausoleum is located in another place. Above a tomb, the emperor of the Song Dynasty pursued the practice of 'the Son of Heaven shall be buried in the seventh month', and only began to select the site after his death. It cannot be ruled out that the tomb under the Yonghou Mausoleum was buried too deep, and Emperor Yingzong was too hasty when choosing the site for burial. I didn't find the two tombs overlapped."
Speaking of which, he didn't sell his ties, but continued: "Gongxian was once the fiefdom of the Emperor Zhou's fief of Gong during the Spring and Autumn Period. Although the inscriptions above are a little difficult to identify, judging from the burial objects, the following It should be the tomb of a prince."
Qian San'er suddenly realized: "No wonder my master said that there are a lot of treasures down there. We were still surprised at that time, saying that Song Ling had been stolen long ago, and there are treasures. My master and the others also suspected that they were hallucinations. That's it!"
Tang Fan said: "Yes or not, we have to go down to confirm. In the pre-Qin era, nobles were buried with carriages and horses. The specifications are also very different from those of later tombs. It is very different."
As the group of people spoke, they followed Village Chief Liu through an arch, and then stopped at the inner recess behind the palace gate.
"It's here, we found the entrance here last time." Village Chief Liu pointed to the entrance to the dark cave, "But because we were almost running out of fire books at that time, and the hole was very deep, we went down and walked. For a while, I didn’t dare to go any further.”
Tang Fan squatted down, looked up again, and found that the opening of the hole should have been a small pit that was smashed after the stone wall fell off. Later, it was burned down again, and was raided by the golden soldiers. The layers have been lifted up a long time ago, and I don't know which wicked ghost discovered the strangeness below, and dug deep layer by layer, and only then did this tunnel lead to an unknown place under my feet.
Logically speaking, Master Qian San'er's group was in a hurry, and it was absolutely impossible to discover and excavate such a passage in more than two hours, so this passage must have existed before, so even if there are treasures in it. , why can't they wait until Master Qian San'er and the others go down to find out?
If it's an illusion, it doesn't make sense, because along the way, they have picked up a lot of valuable property. This is indeed there, and it won't be something that was originally in the Song Emperor's Mausoleum. What is the explanation for this?
Tang Fan shared his thoughts with everyone, and Sui Zhou said, "Anyway, the purpose of our trip is to kill the monster that endangered the place, and the rest is second. "
All the guards in brocade robes agreed, but Yin Yuanhua felt a little disapproving. In his opinion, if he could find these treasures and transport them out, it would be a great achievement for the court. As for the illusory monster, he didn't even see a shadow, but he said it as true. In fact, he still thought that it was probably someone who was pretending to be a ghost, using the name of the river god or the monster to shock him. Villagers did not dare to approach, so as to hide their treasures.
Sui Zhou and the others did not rush down, but took them around the lower level of the underground palace carefully.
Yonghou Mausoleum can be called the smallest one in the Northern Song Dynasty Emperor Mausoleum, and after the baptism of war and thieves, it is basically an empty tomb, and even the gloomy wooden coffin that houses the body of Emperor Yingzong has long been dismantled. There are only a few scattered leftovers left. It is estimated that they were left behind after the people in front came because there were too many things to take away. Even the emperor's bones were missing, not to mention the dragon robe jade he wore.
Originally, this scene was quite embarrassing, but because of Tang Fan's words, everyone became more and more curious about the layer below, so they hurried around here, and when they found that there was no suspicious scene, they were ready to go. Go below.
Because of Master's experience, Qian San'er has always had an indescribable fear of this place. After seeing it again, many people are ignorant about this place. Only Tang Fan can tell the following origins, and they can't help but admire him very much. , followed Tang Fan's side intentionally or unintentionally, never leaving for a moment.
Seeing Tang Fan still squatting beside the coffin at this time, he couldn't help walking over, then bent down and stretched his neck to look.
Tang Fan was startled by his action, but he didn't blame him, just slowly wiped away the accumulated dust under his hands.
Qian San'er opened his eyes wide, and saw that after the sawdust and dust were wiped away, a large pool of black things was exposed below.
"This, this is..." He couldn't help but lose his voice.
"Blood." Tang Fan added in a low voice.
Qian San'er's teeth couldn't help chattering up and down, but Tang Fan smiled: "Don't be afraid."
He laughed, got up and walked away.
However, Qian San'er still stared blankly at the large pool of blood, which seemed to be stained with a little bit of minced meat or bones, and some were mixed in the dust, which made people terrified.
Don't look at him being displaced since childhood, but what he has always done is petty theft. He has never done anything like murder and arson. This time, he came to dig the Emperor's Mausoleum, but because of his inexperience, he was not allowed to enter, so he picked up one. Little life, but Qian San'er felt that her little life might be explained here today.
Holding this ominous premonition, he stood up with a sad face, followed behind everyone in a trance, and went down the hole that suddenly became more and more terrifying in his eyes.
Walking here, let alone the sun, even breathing feels more suffocated than on the ground.
Although the underground palace is not big, it can't be said to be small. Except for Suizhou and his party, there is no popularity here, and the footsteps of speech are filled with an empty echo, which is soaked in the emptiness of hundreds of years.
I don't know if it's because of the fire disaster here, and there seems to be a smell of scorched earth in the nose. Coupled with these bloodstains that can be found from time to time, everyone's heart is a little heavy.
Jin Yiwei is just fine. This kind of scene can't scare them, but Yin Yuanhua is eager to make contributions, but when he arrives at such a place, his face is pale. If he was just in the upper floor of the underground palace, he was still thinking When he picked up the gold beads by his waist, he became nervous at the moment, and he didn't dare to lower his head to take a closer look. He was not as good as Tang Fan, who still studied the details. In the eyes of others, it was inevitable that he would laugh in secret.
Those Jin Yiwei didn't think much of him at first, but seeing that he was so nervous, Yan Li deliberately frightened him, sneaked around behind him on purpose, and slapped him on the shoulder.
"Ah!" Yin Yuanhua jumped up in fright, and when he noticed that it was Yan Li, he couldn't help but glared at him fiercely. "You are so bold, dare to scare Shangguan!"
Yan Li innocently said: "Master Yin, I just saw that you stepped on something that shouldn't be stepped on under your feet, I just wanted to remind you."
Yin Yuanhua hurriedly looked down and saw that the place where he stood just now was clean, where is there anything?
Realizing that he had been tricked, he couldn't help but said angrily: "You wait, you are so arrogant, I will definitely impeach you after you go back!"
"Silence!" But it was not Yan Li, nor Sui Zhou, but Tang Fan.
After Tang Fan said these words, there was a look of attentive listening on his face.
Seeing that he was solemn, everyone immediately pricked up their ears and listened for a long time... but heard nothing.
"..." Yin Yuanhua has every reason to suspect that Tang Fan deliberately can't get along with him, so he deliberately loses his face in front of others.
He hated Tang Fan more and more in his heart, but he knew that it was not up to him to have the final say.
See how I go back and deal with you! Yin Yuanhua thought bitterly.
Tang Fan really didn't mean to play with Yin Yuanhua. Just when Yin Yuanhua was talking loudly, he did hear a weak and slender voice coming from a distance, as if something heavy was dragging on the ground. It was normal to move forward, but when I calmed down and listened carefully, the sound disappeared again, as if it was just my own illusion.
After searching this floor of the underground palace and confirming that nothing was found, Village Chief Liu took the lead to go down the cave.
Just as Village Chief Liu said, this passage is indeed a bit long, almost the same as when they went down from the top to the upper floor of the underground palace just now. It is probably because of this that the imperial mausoleum was not discovered when the site was selected. Tomb of the pre-Qin Junhou.
"It's here." With the voice of Village Chief Liu, everyone arrived below one after another.
The soles of the feet are uneven, and when you step on it, you can clearly feel that the ground is not paved with blue bricks like the underground palace, but just the bottom of an ordinary dirt pit.
Under the illumination of the fire, the small space around it immediately appeared.
Qian San'er snorted: "My master said that they saw many treasures when they came down here!"
However, as far as everyone can see, where are the treasures?
Apart from the four walls of earth, there is nothing.
No, the surrounding area and the ground, as long as you pay a little attention, you can see pools of dark red bloodstains. After solidification, it penetrates into the wall layer, and it looks deep and shallow one by one, which is inexplicably strange.
Yin Yuanhua's face was gloomy: "I just said that this little thief can't be trusted!"
After Qian San'er was brought back to the county seat by Jin Yiwei, he suffered a lot, and when he heard this, he quickly defended and said: "My master really said that, adults and children have been brought here, how dare they lie you!"
Village Chief Liu asked timidly, "Could it be that it was eaten by that monster?"
Monsters can eat people without spitting bones. What are they doing to eat those gold and silver treasures?
As soon as these words came out, everyone thought it was funny, but no one could laugh.
The cramped and gloomy environment, the missing treasures, the unpredictable danger ahead, and the monsters lurking somewhere, all couldn't help but make everyone's hearts hang high.
But this ear room is not closed, because there is a stone gate standing in front of them. Pang Qi just walked over and tried it. It seems that there are balls placed under the stone gate, and it can be pushed open with a push.
The door was slowly opened halfway, and there seemed to be a long and narrow corridor outside.
"Big brother?" Pang Qi couldn't help asking softly, and everyone looked at Suizhou.
At this time, Suizhou was their backbone.
"Pang Qi, you take two people out to explore the road, you don't have to go too far, make sure there is no danger ahead, you can turn around, Yan Li, you stay here to support, if you encounter any unexpected situation, run up, don't worry Us!" Suizhou said solemnly.
Pang Qi responded, ordered two of his subordinates, pushed open the stone door and walked out.
If the stone gate is not blocked, it will automatically close. Suizhou asked people to block the stone gate to prevent it from closing, and he made a mark outside the stone gate.
After a while, Pang Qi came back with someone.
"Brother, there are two roads at the end of the corridor, one to the left and one to the right. We didn't go any further."
Suizhou hummed: "Let's go."
He left Yan Li here and took everyone out.
Tang Fan and Yin Yuanhua walked at the end, but they heard a sudden shout from Jin Yiwei in front: "There is something ahead!"
As soon as the words were finished, someone shouted: "It seems to be a figure!"
Everyone was taken aback, Sui Zhou said solemnly, "Don't chase!"
In an unfamiliar environment, rushing to catch up will only put oneself in danger. When everyone subconsciously wanted to catch up to see what happened, Sui Zhou's calmness undoubtedly poured a pot of cold water on their heads. .
Rao is so, everyone's footsteps are still a little faster.
At this time, Yin Yuanhua suddenly made an ouch, as if he stepped on something, stumbled under his feet, and his body fell forward. Tang Fan stretched out his hand to pull him, and he led him slightly to the side, so he quickly supported the wall Just stand.
"My mother!" Yin Yuanhua bowed his head with the fire book, only to realize that it was a skull that tripped him.
Feeling unlucky, he hurriedly kicked his skull aside, and seeing that Tang Fan hadn't responded, he raised his head to look at him.
As soon as he raised his head, he couldn't help but say, "Where are the others? How did they go so fast!"
Tang Fan frowned. He had just been attracted by Yin Yuanhua's fall. In a short time, the people in front had disappeared without a trace, and even the sound of footsteps disappeared.
He took a few steps forward, and the faint flames illuminated the road ahead, and the end was not far away, but there were no two roads to the left and right as Pang Qi said, only a corridor that turned left.
Yin Yuanhua obviously noticed this too. His face was pale and his voice trembled a little: "He... how about people?"
Tang Fan didn't answer, he was about to walk forward holding the fire certificate, Yin Yuanhua didn't care about his face anymore, and hurriedly grabbed the corner of his clothes: "Don't leave me!"
Mr. Tang was a little speechless, but at this moment he didn't care about making fun of the other party. He didn't go to the left road, but stood there, touching the wall made of earth and stone in front of him, pondering silently.
"What the hell is going on?" Yin Yuanhua looked and looked like him, but couldn't see any problem.
Yin Yuanhua already regretted coming here: "How about we go to gather with Yan Li and wait for Sui Zhenfu to bring them back?"
Tang Fan said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to go back."
Yin Yuanhua: "What do you mean?"
Tang Fan: "Go back and try."
Yin Yuanhua half-believed and dubiously held the candle and walked back for a while, and suddenly lost his voice: "Where's the door of the ear room?? Why is there nothing!"
But he saw his free other hand stroking the soil wall in front of him, trying to find the mark they made earlier.
"Yan Li! Yan Li!" Yin Yuanhua shouted loudly, patting the earth wall.
"Stop shouting," Tang Fan sighed, "We should have encountered a ghost hitting the wall."
"Ghost..." Yin Yuanhua's face turned pale again.
Tang Fan explained: "It's not a real ghost, it's just the use of a mechanism in the tomb. In order to prevent tomb robbers from entering without authorization, I only read it in ancient books, but I haven't seen it myself. When you fell down just now, It is very likely that we went into a fork in the road without knowing it, leading to separation from them, otherwise they would not have walked so fast, and they are not waiting for us at all, you can't even find the ear room behind you now , to prove it.”
Yin Yuanhua asked tremblingly, "What should I do then?"
Tang Fan sighed: "How do I know, I'm not the owner of the tomb, just look carefully, there is always a way out, don't rush forward."
Although he was trapped here with Yin Yuanhua, but seeing the panicked face of the other party, Master Tang still had a feeling of wanting to laugh.
It has to be said that his psychological quality has reached a certain level. If Yin Yuanhua knew what he was thinking at the moment, he would be crushed to death.
Before Tang Fan could speak, a voice came from the corridor in front of the left: "Master Tang! Master Tang! Where are you—"
Yin Yuanhua couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Is it Village Chief Liu! We are here!"
A little light passed from far to near, and after a while, Village Chief Liu appeared in front of them panting, with surprise and joy on his face: "Master Tang, so you are here!"
Yin Yuanhua couldn't wait to ask: "What about them, where did they go!"
Village Chief Liu breathed a sigh of relief, sweating profusely, and said: "We walked for a while and found that we didn't see you, Master Sui asked me to come back and look for them, they found the place where the treasure was hidden, two adults hurry up Come with me!"
Yin Yuanhua didn't suspect it, so he wanted to follow directly, but Tang Fan grabbed him: "Wait!"
Just because of these words, Yin Yuanhua turned his head to look at Tang Fan, but Village Chief Liu, who was walking in front of him, suddenly raised the axe in his hand and slashed at them!
Because of the angle, Yin Yuanhua didn't see it, but Tang Fan did.
He pulled Yin Yuanhua back, and he just fell down, his head and the axe swept past, just a little bit!
As village chief Liu used too much force, the blade of the axe slammed down, deeply embedded in the soil wall, and could not be pulled out for a while.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tang Fan grabbed Yin Yuanhua and ran away. Village Chief Liu's frantic voice echoed in the corridor, but instead of stopping for me, he shouted - "Don't catch them!"
Two people came out of nowhere in front, directly blocking Tang Fan and Yin Yuanhua's path, the other party grabbed them by the shoulders, Tang Fan didn't even think about it, he raised his knees and pushed towards the lower body of the man in front of him.
However, this trick may be useful for ordinary people, but it is useless for people with kung fu. The other hand patted his knee directly. Tang Fan only felt a sharp pain hit, and people's reaction force suddenly dull a bit.
In that moment, the man was already captured, and the other party twisted his arm back viciously, while scolding: "Your mother, you still want to kick the lifeblood of Lao Tzu!"
Yin Yuanhua was already confused by this series of incidents, he struggled for a while, and was also caught.
"Who the hell are you! You are so brave, do you know that I am an imperial envoy! Is this going to make trouble? Let me go! Let me go—uh!"
A stinky sweat towel was stuffed into his mouth, and he rolled his eyes in choking.
Village Chief Liu walked over aggressively, but he didn't pay attention to Yin Yuanhua who was making a lot of noise, but raised his hand and gave Tang Fan a slap without saying a word!
The fierce force slapped Tang Fan's head to one side involuntarily, his ears buzzed, and a bloody smell slowly came out of his mouth.
He barely held back the dizziness, looked at Village Chief Liu with a grim smile, and said slowly, "It's hard to pretend for you for so long, I'm still wondering when you will show your true face."
Village Chief Liu was about to take out a dagger to get to know Tang Fan, but after hearing what he said, he became interested: "Did you know I was fake?"
Tang Fan didn't answer the question directly, but said: "A farmer who was born and raised in Luohe Village, he has been used to all kinds of farm work since he was a child, and it is impossible to know how to use an axe. The action you just made was so unfamiliar, even the strength If you don’t have a good grasp of it, it’s hard for people to believe that you are the real Village Chief Liu!”
Hearing this, Village Chief Liu actually smiled, and the smile on his face was a little distorted under the reflection of Huozhezi. Yin Yuanhua couldn't help shuddering, but Fang Li ignored him, and his attention was still on Tang Fan.
"It's useless to know. Now that you have come down, you must prepare to die here."
He pulled out the dagger from his sleeve and was about to stab Tang Fan's heart!
Suddenly, there was a sound of crying in the distance.
"Woo-woo--"
The voice was resentful and shrill, as if it contained endless grief, and when everyone heard it, their expressions changed.
"Altar, altar master, isn't that thing kept outside, why, how did it come in?" The man holding Yin Yuanhua trembled.
"Let's go!" Village Chief Liu gritted his teeth, and he didn't care about killing Tang Fan, so he let his subordinates grab the two of them and run forward.
The group stumbled and stumbled for a while. Village Chief Liu seemed to be familiar with the road here. After twists and turns, they finally turned into a stone room and pushed the stone gate up again until the cry was temporarily inaudible. breathed.
This stone room is obviously the center of the tomb. The place is much larger than the ear room they have visited before. It is dark all around. Only a candle is lit on the coffin in the middle, which glows slightly. I don't know if the body is still inside .
Tang Fan said, "I advise you not to kill us for now. If I guess correctly, the monster will smell the blood and move. If we die here, the smell of blood will attract the monsters. You can't get out either, isn't it in vain?"
Village Chief Liu gasped. Although he pretended to be his identity, he was still a spoiled person. Obviously, he was not used to this kind of violent running.
He sneered: "Master Tang, you have always been very smart. Since you know that I am a fake, why don't you guess who I am?"
Tang Fan looked at him, and he also looked at Tang Fan, how the original simple and honest face looked cruel at this moment.
"Actually, you acted well and even learned the local accent, but no matter how vivid it is, a fake will always reveal traces in its words and deeds."
Tang Fan finished this sentence slowly, and before Village Chief Liu was about to get angry, he added: "When we came in, starting from the upper floor of the underground palace, we found jade and gold beads and other belongings one after another, do you still remember? ?"
Village Chief Liu: "Yes, those are all scattered after the idiots died here last time. I specially asked people not to clean them up, so what?"
Tang Fan: "That's the problem, after we came in, let's not talk about Qian San'er and others, even Yin Yuanhua couldn't help but secretly picked up a gold bead and hid it, and you, you were always in front Lead the way, even if you see it, you will not be tempted. If you are now a rich man with a fortune, or a son of a wealthy family who is accustomed to seeing it, I don’t think it is surprising.”
He smiled at the village chief Liu: "But you are just a farmer who shoulders the livelihood of the whole family. Your brother said that your daughter-in-law died early, and because of your family circumstances, you have not remarried yet, and you have no child interest. Such a person, Wouldn’t you be tempted to see the treasures all over the place? That’s obviously because you were eager to bring us in, so you didn’t pay attention to this detail at all?”
"Also, I remember what the old village chief said the night before he died. In the end, he kept saying that there are ghosts everywhere. At first I thought he was just hysterical after being frightened, but after thinking about it carefully, Maybe he meant something else. Because at that time, besides me and Suizhou, you were the only one beside him."
"Let me speculate, did the old village chief already know that you are not his son? You were worried that our arrival would expose your identity in advance, so you threatened him with the safety of the old village chief's family and forced the old village chief. Suicide? But why didn't the old village chief dare to confess to us, did you take advantage of his weakness?"
Village Chief Liu smiled at him: "That's right, they thought his grandson, my second brother's son, was studying at the school in the county, but in fact, he was arrested by me a long time ago. This secret is only for the old man. The village chief knew, and I told him that if he dared to reveal my identity, his grandson would definitely be unlucky before me before I was unlucky. For the life of his only grandson, he would naturally obey me. "
Tang Fan wondered: "This makes sense, but what I don't understand is that the old village chief is Liu Daniel's father, it's not surprising that he can see through your disguise, but Liu Daniel's mother and brother, why don't you have any doubts? "
Village Chief Liu snorted coldly: "You also said that my dress is vivid, his mother is old and weak, and his eyes are not good. As for his younger brother, he is just an idiot, and he can fool him with a few words. In that family, except for Except that old man, no one knows that I am not the real Liu Daniel, huh, not to mention that the old man in turn took the initiative to help me hide it for the sake of his grandson's life!"
Tang Fan nodded, "That's right. Li Man, it's been a long time since you've seen it. I think you should have a good time these days?"
Suddenly, his identity was revealed by him. The other party was stunned for a while, then stretched out his hand to grab his shirt and said sadly, "Do you still remember me?"
Tang Fan was a little short of breath because of him, his hands were tied behind him again, his posture was a little awkward, so he couldn't show a calm demeanor, he couldn't help coughing twice, he said, "Why don't you remember , you exchanged identities with Li Lin in prison, and put your own son to death with your own hands..."
Li Man sneered: "If it weren't for you, how would my son die! If it wasn't for you, I'm still standing in front of my master of the Li family, how could I have been brought into such a situation by you and forced to wander the world! "
He didn't know what method he used, not only could he not see the old appearance at all, but even his voice had completely changed.
There is always a kind of person in this world who fails, not only does not reflect on his own faults, but always pushes his faults onto others, always thinking that his failures were caused by others.
Tang Fan said, "If it wasn't for you to kill your wife ruthlessly, you wouldn't be where you are today!"
Li Man said coldly: "She married me. There are some things that she can't avoid. She knows too much. Only dead people are the safest."
Tang Fan said angrily, "So you planned to kill her from the beginning, and the words you said before about wanting to marry her but not agreeing to her are just excuses!"
Li Man sneered: "What if it's an excuse? Master Tang, you are so angry, if it wasn't for Mrs. Zhang being over fifty years old, I would have thought she had an affair with you!"
Tang Fan questioned: "What about Li Lin, he is your biological son, and the tiger's poison won't eat his son, so you can bear it!"
Li Man said leisurely: "If I didn't have him in exchange, it would be impossible for me to stand here and talk to you now. It's also thanks to his mother who taught him to be pedantic since he was a child. I'm at the mercy of me. But then again, the Chen family has already given birth to a son for me, and my Li family already has an inheritance of incense, so I don't want that kind of son who can't be carved out of rotten wood."
Tang Fan felt that it was a luxury to talk about his conscience with such scumbags. If he had regretted Zhang's death in the Li family's house before, then now that they meet again, Tang Fan will see from him. All that's left is the wickedness that annihilates humanity.
In other words, in his mind, only Chen's mother and son are what he values now. As for Zhang's mother and son, they have long been abandoned by him.
Tang Fan didn't speak, but Li Man asked instead, "You haven't said it yet, where did you recognize my identity?"
"It's very simple. Before we set off, you said something to the second son of the Liu family, do you remember?"
Seeing Li Man tilting his head in thought, Tang Fan kindly reminded him, "Tell him: When I come back, get a pot of stewed meat and wait for me to come back, and order some snow-white Chinese cabbage!"
Li Man frowned: "What's wrong with this sentence?"
Tang Fan smiled: "There's nothing wrong with this sentence, but the word "Xuexuebai" is obviously not from the local accent of Luohe Village. As far as I know, the Suzhou area in the south of the Yangtze River likes to use this word very much. , I didn't expect to be exposed in the accent? Although the Li family lived in the capital for a long time, their ancestors were from Jiangnan. Unfortunately, my hometown is also in Jiangnan, so I heard it as soon as I heard it."
Li Man thought to himself that Suizhou and the others had been trapped, so he came over to kill Tang Fan and the others. Due to the ample time, he had some questions in his mind, so he asked and answered Tang Fan. Here, I finally noticed something was wrong.
"Since you have been suspicious for a long time, why are you still coming down with me!"
Tang Fan's expression was strange: "What's the use of catching you alone, haven't you heard the saying, if you don't enter a tiger's den, how can you get a tiger's son?"
As early as when Tang Fan's face showed a strange look, Li Man was alert.
The next moment, the two subordinates holding Tang Fan and Yin Yuanhua exclaimed, "Altar Master!"
However, he heard the fierce wind coming from behind with murderous aura, and without thinking about it, Li Man reached out and grabbed Tang Fan's shoulder, tugging and turning, blocking him in front of him!
