Chapter 165 Insatiable Greed
Chapter 165 Insatiable Greed
Although Yin Sanyu was half a beat behind, she followed closely behind and jumped in from the broken window!
The two of them disappeared from Yunxi's sight one after the other.
At this moment, countless people suddenly turned over from the wall next to the Yang family's mansion!
The first person to climb over the wall was the boss Bian whom Yunxi had interrogated before. There was also a group of people who rushed out from the secret passage in another side room, led by Xi Dailun, the military official of Teng County.
Immediately afterwards, more people flooded into the small courtyard, Yunxi immediately waved his arms, pointed at Yang Zhou's room, and shouted loudly: "Yao Guangbai is inside!"
Everyone didn't stop at all, the boss turned towards the closed door, and just kicked his leg up!
The tightly closed wooden door was actually kicked open by him!
Yunxi is not worried about Yang Zhou's safety, because she and Yang Tuo have indeed made complete preparations. The first time Yao Guangbai entered the house, he would never find Yang Zhou, and Yin Sanyu behind him would never be able to find Yang Zhou. He will not be given any chance to search carefully.
"You stay in the house, I'll go out and have a look!"
Too many people poured into the yard, Yunxi didn't want to put Yunnan in danger, so he yelled at him, turned around and opened the door, and rushed out of the house.
Seeing more and more people pouring into the room where Yang Zhou was hidden, Yunxi was afraid that if too many people entered at once, they would inadvertently touch the mechanism protecting Yang Zhou.
If that's the case, it's tantamount to giving away the head a thousand miles away, taking the initiative to send Yang Zhou to Yao Guangbai.
"Do not enter the house behind! Surround Fangshan with strict defense," Yunxi ran to the door of Yangzhou's room in two steps, commanding with an undeniably tyrannical voice.
Everyone was taken aback when they heard the sound, but soon someone reacted and began to act according to Yunxi's command.
"You guys go to the roof right away to prevent Yao Guangbai from escaping from above," Yunxi pointed to a few Jinhunzhai masters and commanded sharply, and then turned to a few arresting soldiers, "You surround the wall for protection, don't Leave any gaps for Yao Guangbai!"
The two teams immediately started to move after hearing the words, but just as the people in Jinhunzhai climbed to the edge of the eaves, a loud sound came from above!
Yunxi was taken aback immediately.
Ma Dan, it's still a step too late!
She looked up to the roof, because the loud noise came from the roof of Yang Zhou's room!
Under the deep night sky where the stars flowed, a figure of a person was leaping out from the roof that had just been broken, with a vigorous posture and light and quick movements, like a ghost flashing by!
Yao Guangbai was cornered, and actually chose to break through the roof and escape.
Just one step away.
No, it's only half a step away!
If the masters of Jinhun Village climbed up to the roof half a step earlier, Yao Guangbai's last chance of life would be completely cut off by her.
She was both pleasantly surprised and sorry.
Surprisingly, Yao Guangbai did not disappoint her, and once again created a miracle. He is really an exciting and rare opponent.
It is a pity that so far, she has always lost half of the game, and she is finally unwilling.
It was too late to say that, just as Yunxi's complicated emotions were intertwined, there was another loud noise from the small hole in the roof!
Yunxi's eyes widened unknowingly, only to see that the cramped roof hole was broken open again with his body!
Following the person's body rushing out quickly, the hole on the roof was instantly enlarged, and countless fragments of rubble rushed towards the sky like a fountain, and then scattered like a fairy flower, splashing in all directions.Another person jumped out of the hole, without looking closely, Yunxi knew that that person must be Yin Sanyu.After Yao Guangbai broke through the roof, Yin Sanyu chased after him.
Yao Guangbai escaped quickly, and Yin Sanyu chased him even faster!
Yunxi only felt two black shadows flashing across the roof in front of him, and the speed of his eyeballs couldn't catch up with their moving speed. In just a blink of an eye, the two people completely disappeared into the high and low walls of the roof. among.
Fortunately, Yunxi had arranged it in time before, and the master of Jinhunzhai who had already climbed to the roof was able to use the advantage of height to find the direction in which the two disappeared.
"Over there! Hurry up!" Someone on the roof exclaimed, and then rushed to catch up quickly!
Following his yell, the masters who had already climbed onto the roof immediately turned around, chasing after them like arrows flying off the string!
Yunxi also saw that Boss Bian, who got out of the hole in the roof one step later, also rushed after him, and the pursuers who had already rushed into Yang Zhou's room also rushed out under the leadership of Xi Dailun.
Yunxi immediately pointed out the direction of Yao Guangbai's escape, Xi Dailun didn't pause, and immediately led people out over the wall, and hurriedly chased him out!
Although they are not as capable as Yao Guangbai, Yin Sanyu and the masters of Jinhunzhai, they can climb over the wall with bare hands, but they have no problem.
At this moment, someone kicked open the door of the third entrance courtyard. Yunxi turned around in surprise, only to see Yang Tuo and Li Ru rushed in, surrounded by everyone, holding a torch each!
"Where's my father!" Yang Tuo's face was anxious, his eyes were red, and he was so angry that he seemed to be able to spit out fire!
"My lord is safe and sound, don't worry, my lord."
Everyone was startled, but the one who spoke was not Yunxi who was standing in the courtyard.
That voice was clear and cold, firm and gentle. In the chaos that had lost all planning and order, it was like a stream of clear water flowing from an iceberg, instantly calming everyone's flustered hearts.
Everyone followed the prestige, but they saw Yunnan, dressed in white, calmly pushed open the wooden door of the wing room, Rong Zhi was calm, walked out slowly as if nothing had happened.
Yunxi's heart also calmed down in an instant. Although judging from the performance of everyone chasing after her, she also concluded that Yang Zhou was indeed safe, but hearing his calm words at this time, she still felt as if she had eaten a bite. Reassurance-like solidity.
The expression on Yang Tuo's face suddenly relaxed, as if he finally felt relieved, his tense body instantly relaxed, and his steps wobbled a little.
Li Ru, with quick hands and quick eyes, stepped forward and immediately supported him.
"My lord," Yunxi raised her hand and saluted Yang Tuo, she looked up at the bright moon in the night sky, and said in a deep voice, "It's not time to relax yet, although Yao Guangbai was surrounded in time, but in order to guard against thieves There are also accomplices, at this time you should re-arrange the courtyard and the people around you, and the roof, the wall, the front of the door, and the back of the house must be closely guarded to prevent the thieves from attacking back."
Yang Tuo nodded, then handed over the torch to his subordinates, and said: "All the people here are assigned by the execution room." After speaking, he walked into the room where Yang Zhou was hidden with the support of Li Ru.
Yunxi immediately directed everyone in the courtyard to take their positions one by one and continue to defend closely.
Although Yang Tuo didn't bring many people, the servants who guarded the yard before are still there.
Although several people were seriously injured because of the inexplicable explosion before, more people were just knocked down by the huge shock wave.
Except that the windows of each room were shattered by the explosion, there was no major damage to the courtyard walls, and no fire was caused in the courtyard.
Under Yunxi's dispatch, the defense was fairly tight.
Although there were many doubts in his mind, Yunxi and Yunnan decided to go to Yangzhou's room to check the situation after the arrangement was completed.
When he walked to the front of the house, the doors and windows were all shattered, and he could almost see the inside of the house at a glance, but Yunxi knocked on the door frame casually to show respect.
At this time, Yang Tuo and Li Ru in the house had already activated the mechanism set in the kang, and helped out Yang Zhou who had been lying under the kang for a day and a night.
Obviously, Yang Zhou, who is over half a hundred years old, has been weakened to the limit under the series of shocks and torture of this day. At this time, he is lying on Yang Tuo, letting his son stroke his chest one after another, following his breath. , Close your eyes and can't say a word anymore.
Li Ru on the side held water again and wiped Yang Zhou's forehead with his sleeve, his expression was also very nervous.
"My lord," Yunxi bowed towards Yang Tuo, and said in a deep voice, "while there is nothing unusual at this time, please take your lord and leave the secret passage as soon as possible, and find a safe place for the boss People make adjustments."
Yang Tuo's face was sullen, and he looked at Yang Zhou with gloomy eyes, then glanced at the dilapidated environment around him, and finally nodded silently.Agreed to Yunxi's arrangement.
Yunxi asked Li Ru to select a few of his most trustworthy subordinates from outside, and they helped Yang Zhou out of the room together.
Just as he crossed the threshold, Yang Tuo, who was supporting Yang Zhou, stopped suddenly. He turned his head slightly, with a serious expression, "Yun Xingfang, Yun Shuli, can Yao Guangbai catch him?"
This question caused Yunxi to choke for a moment.
Obviously, Yang Tuo is questioning the rationality of the plan.
Yang Tuo continued to ask: "The whole plan has been done seamlessly, so how could it be so chaotic?"
"My lord," Yunxi looked at Yang Tuo with a cold look in his eyes, and said with a sneer, "as long as your lord is safe and sound, it's a successful plan, isn't it?"
This time it was Yang Tuo's turn to choke.
He stared into Yunxi's eyes with a sullen face and remained motionless. Yunxi's smile became weaker, and his sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate Yang Tuo's entire body.
The two find themselves in a strange stalemate.
Yunxi knew in his heart that sometimes, some people just want to wait for Shu, once the initial request is fulfilled for him, he will naturally ignore the vested interests, thinking that it is right, so he is greedy for more, and he will treat others as well. harsher.
This is not only the greed of human nature, but also the common manifestation of greedy people, but the greedy people will go too far.
In the eyes of this kind of person, no matter how much others do, he will not be grateful, but will hate you because of a failure.
In the past few days, because of Yang Tuo's filial piety, calmness, and anti-frustration qualities, Yunxi has been a little impressed by him.
But human nature can be seen in the details, and now this stalemate, this inadvertent revelation of nature, once again sounded the alarm for Yunxi.
No matter how good or outstanding this person is, once he has no bottom line of principles, no beliefs, and only indulges in boundless desires, intoxicated without knowing it, the more outstanding his talents, the greater the harm.
After a moment of stalemate, Yang Tuo suddenly laughed at himself, "Scribe Yun is right, my father's safety is safe at last." His narrow eyes narrowed slightly with a icy light, "I just hope to escape The lost Yao Guangbai will not make a comeback again."
Yunxi stood proudly with his hands behind his back, "My lord, this question is exactly what I want to tell you."
Yang Tuo frowned tightly, "How do you say that?"
"Yao Guangbai is not a god. This time, Mr. Yang's whereabouts are so secret, but he still found out. There is a special reason why he was not noticed." Yunxi said coldly.
"Then what's the reason? Did someone leak the secret, or did Yao Guangbai pretend to be someone again and get involved in the secret operation?" Li Ru next to him asked impatiently.
"Neither of them." Yunxi smiled and shook her head, but her tone was extremely firm, "The reason is actually very simple, and it's also very simple to prevent."
"Simple?" Yang Tuo's eyes were complicated, with fear and suspicion, "What's the reason?"
"Before answering the question of your lord, this subordinate would like to ask, when was the last time Tang Qixing had contact with your lord?" Yunxi smiled and asked seriously.
Yang Tuo frowned, as if remembering, and then replied, "It was you clerk Yun who said that he wanted to mix my father into the coffin in front of Tang Qixing. After that, he controlled his gaze and looked out from the coffin. They secretly changed people in the newly established mechanism at the bottom, and then sent my father out through the secret path. Therefore, Tang Qixing contacted my father, it should be at that time, today's Maochu."
"Then when the mourning hall was attacked, did your lord and Li Gongfang notice a black cat?" Yunxi asked.
"Black cat?" Yang Tuo was obviously very surprised. He turned to look at Li Ru and asked, "Daomin, you have been patrolling the mourning hall at that time, have you seen any black cats?"
Li Ru suddenly raised his head, looked at Yunxi and said excitedly: "There is indeed a black cat!"
Yunxi immediately asked, "Do you know the black cat Li Gongfang?"
Li Ru looked at Yang Tuo uncertainly, and said with a little hesitation, "The wives in Yang's mansion also have a few cats. They go in and out of the mansion on weekdays, and it seems that my subordinates have seen a black cat. Cat, but not sure if it's the one that showed up tonight."
Yang Tuo asked: "There is a black cat at home, but a part of its tail is white, which one do the Taoists see?"
Li Ru shook his head, "That's not the case, that cat is all black."
Yunxi nodded, "That's right, the cat with the abnormality today is pure black, so according to this, it is not the cat of the Yang family." She looked at Li Ru again, and asked, "Does Li Gongfang still remember the cat?" How did that cat appear? Where has it been?"
"I didn't see how it appeared. When I saw it, it had already appeared in the mourning hall, but it just walked around the room and ran out."
"Then what about Tang Qixing?" Yunxi asked.
"Tang Qixing was patrolling the courtyard with the masters of Jinhunzhai."
Yunxi's eyes lit up suddenly, and she said with a bright smile: "My lord, then the secret of Mr. Yang's secret hiding place was finally discovered by Yao Guangbai again!" As she said, she walked forward in two steps, and when she was close to Yangzhou, she closed the door. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then opened his eyes, smiled respectfully at Yang Tuo, raised his finger to Yang Zhou, and made a motion to search him, "My lord, this subordinate is taking the liberty."
Yang Tuo frowned and thought about it, and after a while, he nodded slowly, agreeing to Yunxi's presumptuous move.
Yunxi stepped forward, but did not search Yang Zhou's entire body as everyone thought. Instead, he sniffed and checked carefully. A kit on the waist.
She presented it to Yang Tuo instead, and asked, "Sir, is this sachet a personal possession of your lord?"
Yang Tuo took the sachet, squeezed it with his hands, glanced at it and said indifferently: "This is my father's daily personal thing, is there any difference?" But before he finished speaking, the hand holding the sachet But gradually froze, he lowered his head again, opened his eyes wide and took a closer look, "No! Although the styles are similar, but my father's sachet is a finely crafted Sichuan brocade, but this is ordinary silk and satin! This is not my father's personal clothes. things!"
Hearing this, Li Ru also approached him in surprise, took the sachet, carefully distinguished the details and said: "Indeed, the fancy patterns are very similar at first glance, but the direction of the flowers and the way the vines are wrapped are quite different from the old man's. Far!"
Originally, after hearing what he said before, Yunxi was still admiring Yao Guangbai's meticulous thoughts and skillful means, even the sachet could be noticed in advance, and the whole came out exactly the same.
Hearing the second half, she admired Yang Tuo again, he could feel just the slight difference in style and texture, it seems that he, a rich and handsome son, is really particular about his daily life.
She continued calmly: "The real reason is still inside, please open it and find out."
Li Ru immediately opened the kit for Yang Tuo, and immediately poured out a lot of small dark brown particles the size of soybeans, and at the same time, a strange fragrance overflowed, rushing straight to the sinuses.
"I smelled this aroma on Yao Guangbai when he was hijacked. And I picked up cat food exactly like these on the roof where Yang Li and Boss Bian found the abnormal black cat." Yunxi He said with a light smile, "So the best way to prevent Yao Guangbai is to completely change the old man's clothes from the inside to the outside. If the old man can bear it, it is best to take a bath to wash off the smell thoroughly. "
Yang Tuo looked at the sachet and cat food in Li Ru's hands, and nodded unconsciously, "Okay, I will take my father to wash it up." He raised his head and looked at Yunxi, but there was no doubt in his eyes , There is only trust, "The clerk of Yun Xing Fang Yun will also follow us, no matter whether Yao Guangbai can catch it or not, so many masters will pursue it together, I believe there will be news soon."
Yunxi took a step back, bowed his hands and said, "My lord, although Yao Guangbai escaped at this time, how did he get rid of the control of the mourning hall, and how did he deal with all the guards in this side courtyard? I haven't figured it out yet." Clear. Sir and Boss, please go first, and leave the subordinates here to examine carefully."
Yang Tuo nodded, "That's fine."
"My lord, I still have something to ask." Yunxi suddenly raised his head again, "This subordinate has never experienced the situation in the mourning hall of the main house. Alarms from both sides have been raised one after another, so there must be a connection. Since I am proficient in all kinds of mechanism settings and have personally experienced the whole process, please leave the Li workshop and help my subordinates find out all the organs of the whole incident as soon as possible."
Yang Tuo smiled and agreed generously, "This is naturally not a problem."
After finishing speaking, he turned to Li Ru and nodded, signaling Li Ru to stay and fully cooperate with Yunxi and Yunnan. Surrounded by a group of confidants, he helped Yang Zhou quickly leave this place of right and wrong.
After sending Yang Tuo away, Li Ru immediately walked up to Yunxi, spoke first with a solemn face, and asked, "Scribe Yun, we heard a violent explosion before, what happened here? Has it attacked? But in the center of Teng County, how can there be artillery?"
"Cannon?" Yunxi asked suspiciously, then turned to Yunnan, and asked, "Brother, I've seen cannons before. Was the explosion just now the movement of cannons?" Yunxi asked, looking around at the damage to the surrounding houses, "Is the artillery power of our Ming court actually like this?"
In fact, based on her personal experience and the surrounding environment, this should definitely not be the scene of the shell attack.
There were no potholes on the ground, walls, or houses in the yard, and the previous shock wave was not like the heat wave after a shell exploded, but more like flames spreading and exploding in the air instantly.
But she is not a real ancient person after all, the impression of cannonballs and artillery in her mind is the advanced, lethal and extremely powerful modern weapons of later generations.
So she can't completely deny decisively that this is not the effect of artillery.
Yunnan shook his head resolutely, "If it was really artillery, the yard would have been in ruins long ago, but neither the yard nor the people who were crowded in the yard at that time were tragically hit by the shells, and the people in their hands were even worse. It looks like it's been burned, not like it's been bombed."
Yunxi nodded, it seemed that her previous deduction was not wrong.
"Indeed," Li Ru looked around at the damage in the yard, obviously agreeing with Yunnan's statement, "but it's not artillery, how could there be such a terrifying explosion?" His thoughts fell into another mystery.
This question was beyond Yunxi's mind, "Judging from the overall performance of the incident, this time Yao Guangbai acted alone again, but how did he cause such a big fight by himself?
"Actually, it's not just the explosion that makes people wonder," Yunxi said while frowning, and took out a small homemade charcoal pencil and a small notebook from his arms, opened the notebook, lowered his head, and wrote, "Otherwise, let's write down all the questions first, and then solve them one by one."
Yunnan unconsciously smiled slightly, he knew that according to Yunxi's temperament, he must have scolded her mother in his heart at this time.
This is true.
Although Yunxi likes to solve cases and make inferences, and also likes to catch thieves and catch murderers, the long and cumbersome reasoning process is the most troublesome for her.
Let’s not talk about so many reasoning assumptions, but also back and forth one by one to infer arguments, that is, it is enough to waste brain cells to find all the loopholes in a rigorous list!
So in desperation, she could only use the most stupid and best-operated induction method of counting fingers.
But this time, she intends to let go of her fingers first. After all, counting with her hands takes a lot of effort to memorize. It is more effective and less labor-intensive to write down one by one in a small notebook.
"Indeed," Li Ru nodded in agreement, "There are indeed too many doubts, let's write them down and solve them one by one."
Yunxi glanced at him, it seemed that this Li Ru was also a layman in reasoning, she felt a lot more balanced immediately.
After all, it hurts one's self-confidence every day to solve a case with an unborn genius with peerless beauty.
"Because of the danger that came out first in the mourning hall, let's start with the doubtful points in the mourning hall."
"Okay." Li Ru nodded heavily.
Yunnan covered his lips and coughed lightly. In his eyes, before the reasoning and solving of the case, the methods of these two people were as simple as a child's play, and they were so innocent and cute.
But the easiest way is sometimes the most effective way.
And he was patient enough to stay by Yunxi's side silently, watching her grow up little by little.
"The first one," Yunxi lowered his eyes, followed the movement of the charcoal pencil, and asked in a muttering voice: "Li Gongfang, what was the suspicious situation that happened at first?"
Li Ru paused, "It was Tang Tiqi, who had been patrolling the room, and said he heard a noise, and then went out to have a look."
Yunxi raised his head, "A noise? Only Tang Qixing heard it? Is there anything unusual after going out?"
"That's right, he was the only one who heard it. I asked people around me at the time, but no one heard it again." Li Ru recalled, "I actually kept staring at him through the window, but he walked out of the room and went to the yard Here, it has been patrolling normally, there is no special difference."
"What about the second suspicious thing?" Yunxi continued to ask.
"The second thing is the black cat. As soon as I lowered my head, I saw it. But the cat just turned around and then went out. There is no other difference."
"The third suspicious thing, when did it happen?"
"It took about a stick of incense after the black cat appeared," Li Ru said in a deep voice, "a puff of white smoke came out from the latrine of the second courtyard, and then white smoke came out from the corners of the surrounding walls. Mr. Yang and I also ran out of the house to check. There was white smoke everywhere, which was very scary. Just when we thought Yao Guangbai had set the fire on fire and sent people to put out the fire, the curtain and white flags of the mourning hall behind us suddenly burst into flames. There is a fire, and the fire is getting bigger and bigger," the more he said, the more frightened his face became, as if the scene of the blazing flames appeared again in front of him. "The whole house burned down quickly! The people in Jinhunzhai didn't know that the person in the mourning hall was a substitute for the old man, and they all rushed back to the mourning hall to fight the fire!"
Hearing this, Yunxi was also very surprised. It turned out that the sound of the gong next door was not because of Yao Guangbai's appearance and attack, but because of a big fire.
"What about Tang Qixing? Where was he when the latrine was smoking, and where was he when the mourning hall was on fire?!" Yunxi couldn't help but stop writing, looking at Li Ru and asked anxiously.
"Because I kept staring at him, the first thing I did after the accident was to look for Tang Qixing, but it was already night, and with only torches and lanterns, once the crowd started running in a panic, I lost him. "Speaking of this, Li Ru couldn't help but blush, as if he was ashamed.
"What about when the mourning hall was on fire? Still can't find him?" Yunxi stared at him again.
Li Ru frowned in pain, "Different from the white smoke from the courtyard walls and latrines, the fire in the mourning hall is very strong and rises quickly. I was frightened at the time, because once the fire in the mourning hall cannot be controlled, the entire Yang Mansion will be destroyed." There was a possibility of being burned, so... "He lowered his head and his voice became lower and lower," So afterward, I was so frightened that I completely forgot to see Tang Qixing."
Yunxi and Yunnan looked at each other.
Li Ru is already like this, as the person involved, Yang Tuo, who is concerned about the safety of the entire Yang family, must not be much better.
At that time, all their attention was drawn by the fire, but Jinhunzhai and the yamen arresting squad's barracks really thought that Yang Zhou was still trapped in the spirit room, so no one continued to carry out the siege of Tang Qixing.
Only then did Tang Qixing easily get rid of the crowd again.
"Then what happened next? Is there a fourth suspicious thing?" Yunxi asked in a low voice with a dark face.
Li Ru raised his head in surprise, "Afterwards, there was a burst of firecrackers from all directions, but at the very beginning, no one knew who yelled the "Shenjiying gun", and there were indeed many masters of Jinhunzhai who were shot and fell to the ground. It was all messed up, and I searched around following the sound, but in the end I only found some firecrackers that were put in half."
"Firecrackers?" Yunxi stopped writing again, and looked at Li Ru suspiciously, "There are also firecrackers on our side, didn't you hear it?"
"At that time, there were crackling firecrackers everywhere, thick white smoke, beating gongs, and shouts. It was very chaotic." Li Ru frowned and recalled, "My lord and I thought we had successfully fooled Yao Guang. Bai, to attract all his attacks to the side of the mourning hall, I can't think of it, and I can't hear it, besides ours, yours also has firecrackers."
Yunxi's eyes darkened, "It seems that the triggering time of the two firecrackers overlapped."
She asked again: "But how did those firecrackers appear in Yang's mansion? Didn't we intensively photograph people to go back and forth to inspect them? It's impossible that there are dangerous firecrackers in so many places, but no one discovered it?"
"Those firecrackers were all in the Yang Mansion," Li Ru said with certainty, "but they did not appear at the bottom of the wall before, but were placed in a warehouse in the Second Academy. Because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, every year the Yang Mansion At this time, a lot of fireworks and firecrackers will be set off, so I have stored a lot of them, and I will only set them off one by one during the New Year and the Shangyuan Festival, but I never thought that behind me tonight, they were all stolen and moved to various corners. detonated."
"But inside the wall are all our patrolling people, and outside the wall is the yamen arresting squad's barracks. They haven't stopped anyone at all. It's impossible for these guards to watch others set off firecrackers and be unprepared?"
"That's right!" Li Ru suddenly remembered something, "White smoke is coming out of the latrine! It must have been some time, because there were people patrolling and monitoring the corner before, and there was no firecracker at all."
Yunxi's eyes lit up unconsciously, "First, there was white smoke coming out of the latrine, and then you were all shocked, then there was white smoke coming out of the corner, and then the mourning hall was on fire, at that time, at that time, there was a hole in the wall, and someone Wearing black clothes, throwing firecrackers all the way, running all the way, after throwing the firecrackers, the first one shouted that it was a firearm, and threw out a lot of hidden weapons, focusing on killing and dealing with Jinhun Village!"
"Yes! That must be the case!" Li Ru, who had always been in a low mood, was also excited by everything connected in series.
"And then, is there a fourth doubtful point?" Yunxi wrote it down in a small notebook, and asked without raising her head.
"Later, it's your business." Li Ru's face turned pale again, "I had been fighting the fire at that time, but suddenly I heard a loud noise, and everyone was frightened, thinking they were hit by artillery .”
"Others don't know that the boss is here with us, but Li Gongfang, you and the adults know it? Why didn't you send someone over immediately after our explosion? Was it held back by someone?" This question has been hovering around In Yunxi's heart, she couldn't let go.
At first she thought it was Yao Guangbai who attacked the mourning hall directly, or some other accomplices appeared together and had a direct conflict with Jinhun Village, so when the firecrackers sounded from their side, no reinforcements came from the next door.
But only now did she know that when the cannon was fired on her side, the Yang Mansion was also full of gongs, drums and firecrackers, and she didn't realize that her side had already been attacked.But the subsequent big explosion happened when the sound of firecrackers became weaker, and the Yang Mansion never saw any real enemies.
After the explosion, Yin Sanyu confronted Yao Guangbai who finally showed up for at least a few minutes, and Yang Tuo, who was separated by a wall, had no reason not to send someone to rescue him!
"That's because," Li Ru smiled bitterly, "when the explosion sounded on your side, there was also an explosion on our side."
Yunxi's pupils shrank suddenly, another time overlap!
Not only the lighting time of the two firecrackers overlapped, but also the triggering time of the explosions of the two houses overlapped!
The two houses and the two dangerous situations can be said to have been triggered one after the other.
"Then before the explosion, did you see any large hidden weapons with white smoke?" Yunxi narrowed his eyes slightly, recalling every detail before the explosion, and asked faintly.
"Yes!" Li Ru replied without hesitation, "I didn't notice it at first, but Master Yang pointed to the vision in the sky and asked me what it was, so I discovered it."
"Did it shoot directly into the yard where you guys are?"
"That's right, with a puff of white smoke, when it hit the yard, it turned into a big cloud of white mist with a bang, and then exploded into a sea of flames!" Li Ru's eyes kept flickering, as if the terrible scene was repeating itself again.
"White smoke and white mist again?" Yunxi realized that maybe he had been standing in the room before, and the structure of the window frame limited their sight angle, so they couldn't see all the details clearly.
It wasn't a cannon, but it exploded, there was no murder weapon, it was just a hidden weapon of white smoke and mist, and when it hit the ground, it ignited the air..." Yunxi frowned, narrowed his eyes, and muttered softly.
Her brain was racing.
Unlike the ancients in the Ming Dynasty, as a 21st century woman who has mastered a lot of scientific knowledge, she already has a clearer and clearer answer to these weird scenes.
"What did you think of?" Looking at her non-stop chanting, Yunan was also curious and asked softly.
"Thought the truth about the explosion!" Yunxi raised his head suddenly, then stuffed the pen and paper into Yunan's arms, and ran towards the open space in the middle of the yard!
Li Ruyun looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what Yunxi was thinking.
"Found it!" Yunxi screamed excitedly, and lay down on the ground, carefully dabbing on the ground with both hands, as if looking for something.
Just when Li Ru, who had been overwhelmed by all his curiosity, took the first step towards Yunxi, the gate of the Sanjinyuan was suddenly pushed open!
At the same time, a sharp voice suddenly sounded, causing the three people in the courtyard to raise their heads in surprise!
"Scribe Yun! Yao Guangbai caught him!"
(End of this chapter)
Although Yin Sanyu was half a beat behind, she followed closely behind and jumped in from the broken window!
The two of them disappeared from Yunxi's sight one after the other.
At this moment, countless people suddenly turned over from the wall next to the Yang family's mansion!
The first person to climb over the wall was the boss Bian whom Yunxi had interrogated before. There was also a group of people who rushed out from the secret passage in another side room, led by Xi Dailun, the military official of Teng County.
Immediately afterwards, more people flooded into the small courtyard, Yunxi immediately waved his arms, pointed at Yang Zhou's room, and shouted loudly: "Yao Guangbai is inside!"
Everyone didn't stop at all, the boss turned towards the closed door, and just kicked his leg up!
The tightly closed wooden door was actually kicked open by him!
Yunxi is not worried about Yang Zhou's safety, because she and Yang Tuo have indeed made complete preparations. The first time Yao Guangbai entered the house, he would never find Yang Zhou, and Yin Sanyu behind him would never be able to find Yang Zhou. He will not be given any chance to search carefully.
"You stay in the house, I'll go out and have a look!"
Too many people poured into the yard, Yunxi didn't want to put Yunnan in danger, so he yelled at him, turned around and opened the door, and rushed out of the house.
Seeing more and more people pouring into the room where Yang Zhou was hidden, Yunxi was afraid that if too many people entered at once, they would inadvertently touch the mechanism protecting Yang Zhou.
If that's the case, it's tantamount to giving away the head a thousand miles away, taking the initiative to send Yang Zhou to Yao Guangbai.
"Do not enter the house behind! Surround Fangshan with strict defense," Yunxi ran to the door of Yangzhou's room in two steps, commanding with an undeniably tyrannical voice.
Everyone was taken aback when they heard the sound, but soon someone reacted and began to act according to Yunxi's command.
"You guys go to the roof right away to prevent Yao Guangbai from escaping from above," Yunxi pointed to a few Jinhunzhai masters and commanded sharply, and then turned to a few arresting soldiers, "You surround the wall for protection, don't Leave any gaps for Yao Guangbai!"
The two teams immediately started to move after hearing the words, but just as the people in Jinhunzhai climbed to the edge of the eaves, a loud sound came from above!
Yunxi was taken aback immediately.
Ma Dan, it's still a step too late!
She looked up to the roof, because the loud noise came from the roof of Yang Zhou's room!
Under the deep night sky where the stars flowed, a figure of a person was leaping out from the roof that had just been broken, with a vigorous posture and light and quick movements, like a ghost flashing by!
Yao Guangbai was cornered, and actually chose to break through the roof and escape.
Just one step away.
No, it's only half a step away!
If the masters of Jinhun Village climbed up to the roof half a step earlier, Yao Guangbai's last chance of life would be completely cut off by her.
She was both pleasantly surprised and sorry.
Surprisingly, Yao Guangbai did not disappoint her, and once again created a miracle. He is really an exciting and rare opponent.
It is a pity that so far, she has always lost half of the game, and she is finally unwilling.
It was too late to say that, just as Yunxi's complicated emotions were intertwined, there was another loud noise from the small hole in the roof!
Yunxi's eyes widened unknowingly, only to see that the cramped roof hole was broken open again with his body!
Following the person's body rushing out quickly, the hole on the roof was instantly enlarged, and countless fragments of rubble rushed towards the sky like a fountain, and then scattered like a fairy flower, splashing in all directions.Another person jumped out of the hole, without looking closely, Yunxi knew that that person must be Yin Sanyu.After Yao Guangbai broke through the roof, Yin Sanyu chased after him.
Yao Guangbai escaped quickly, and Yin Sanyu chased him even faster!
Yunxi only felt two black shadows flashing across the roof in front of him, and the speed of his eyeballs couldn't catch up with their moving speed. In just a blink of an eye, the two people completely disappeared into the high and low walls of the roof. among.
Fortunately, Yunxi had arranged it in time before, and the master of Jinhunzhai who had already climbed to the roof was able to use the advantage of height to find the direction in which the two disappeared.
"Over there! Hurry up!" Someone on the roof exclaimed, and then rushed to catch up quickly!
Following his yell, the masters who had already climbed onto the roof immediately turned around, chasing after them like arrows flying off the string!
Yunxi also saw that Boss Bian, who got out of the hole in the roof one step later, also rushed after him, and the pursuers who had already rushed into Yang Zhou's room also rushed out under the leadership of Xi Dailun.
Yunxi immediately pointed out the direction of Yao Guangbai's escape, Xi Dailun didn't pause, and immediately led people out over the wall, and hurriedly chased him out!
Although they are not as capable as Yao Guangbai, Yin Sanyu and the masters of Jinhunzhai, they can climb over the wall with bare hands, but they have no problem.
At this moment, someone kicked open the door of the third entrance courtyard. Yunxi turned around in surprise, only to see Yang Tuo and Li Ru rushed in, surrounded by everyone, holding a torch each!
"Where's my father!" Yang Tuo's face was anxious, his eyes were red, and he was so angry that he seemed to be able to spit out fire!
"My lord is safe and sound, don't worry, my lord."
Everyone was startled, but the one who spoke was not Yunxi who was standing in the courtyard.
That voice was clear and cold, firm and gentle. In the chaos that had lost all planning and order, it was like a stream of clear water flowing from an iceberg, instantly calming everyone's flustered hearts.
Everyone followed the prestige, but they saw Yunnan, dressed in white, calmly pushed open the wooden door of the wing room, Rong Zhi was calm, walked out slowly as if nothing had happened.
Yunxi's heart also calmed down in an instant. Although judging from the performance of everyone chasing after her, she also concluded that Yang Zhou was indeed safe, but hearing his calm words at this time, she still felt as if she had eaten a bite. Reassurance-like solidity.
The expression on Yang Tuo's face suddenly relaxed, as if he finally felt relieved, his tense body instantly relaxed, and his steps wobbled a little.
Li Ru, with quick hands and quick eyes, stepped forward and immediately supported him.
"My lord," Yunxi raised her hand and saluted Yang Tuo, she looked up at the bright moon in the night sky, and said in a deep voice, "It's not time to relax yet, although Yao Guangbai was surrounded in time, but in order to guard against thieves There are also accomplices, at this time you should re-arrange the courtyard and the people around you, and the roof, the wall, the front of the door, and the back of the house must be closely guarded to prevent the thieves from attacking back."
Yang Tuo nodded, then handed over the torch to his subordinates, and said: "All the people here are assigned by the execution room." After speaking, he walked into the room where Yang Zhou was hidden with the support of Li Ru.
Yunxi immediately directed everyone in the courtyard to take their positions one by one and continue to defend closely.
Although Yang Tuo didn't bring many people, the servants who guarded the yard before are still there.
Although several people were seriously injured because of the inexplicable explosion before, more people were just knocked down by the huge shock wave.
Except that the windows of each room were shattered by the explosion, there was no major damage to the courtyard walls, and no fire was caused in the courtyard.
Under Yunxi's dispatch, the defense was fairly tight.
Although there were many doubts in his mind, Yunxi and Yunnan decided to go to Yangzhou's room to check the situation after the arrangement was completed.
When he walked to the front of the house, the doors and windows were all shattered, and he could almost see the inside of the house at a glance, but Yunxi knocked on the door frame casually to show respect.
At this time, Yang Tuo and Li Ru in the house had already activated the mechanism set in the kang, and helped out Yang Zhou who had been lying under the kang for a day and a night.
Obviously, Yang Zhou, who is over half a hundred years old, has been weakened to the limit under the series of shocks and torture of this day. At this time, he is lying on Yang Tuo, letting his son stroke his chest one after another, following his breath. , Close your eyes and can't say a word anymore.
Li Ru on the side held water again and wiped Yang Zhou's forehead with his sleeve, his expression was also very nervous.
"My lord," Yunxi bowed towards Yang Tuo, and said in a deep voice, "while there is nothing unusual at this time, please take your lord and leave the secret passage as soon as possible, and find a safe place for the boss People make adjustments."
Yang Tuo's face was sullen, and he looked at Yang Zhou with gloomy eyes, then glanced at the dilapidated environment around him, and finally nodded silently.Agreed to Yunxi's arrangement.
Yunxi asked Li Ru to select a few of his most trustworthy subordinates from outside, and they helped Yang Zhou out of the room together.
Just as he crossed the threshold, Yang Tuo, who was supporting Yang Zhou, stopped suddenly. He turned his head slightly, with a serious expression, "Yun Xingfang, Yun Shuli, can Yao Guangbai catch him?"
This question caused Yunxi to choke for a moment.
Obviously, Yang Tuo is questioning the rationality of the plan.
Yang Tuo continued to ask: "The whole plan has been done seamlessly, so how could it be so chaotic?"
"My lord," Yunxi looked at Yang Tuo with a cold look in his eyes, and said with a sneer, "as long as your lord is safe and sound, it's a successful plan, isn't it?"
This time it was Yang Tuo's turn to choke.
He stared into Yunxi's eyes with a sullen face and remained motionless. Yunxi's smile became weaker, and his sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate Yang Tuo's entire body.
The two find themselves in a strange stalemate.
Yunxi knew in his heart that sometimes, some people just want to wait for Shu, once the initial request is fulfilled for him, he will naturally ignore the vested interests, thinking that it is right, so he is greedy for more, and he will treat others as well. harsher.
This is not only the greed of human nature, but also the common manifestation of greedy people, but the greedy people will go too far.
In the eyes of this kind of person, no matter how much others do, he will not be grateful, but will hate you because of a failure.
In the past few days, because of Yang Tuo's filial piety, calmness, and anti-frustration qualities, Yunxi has been a little impressed by him.
But human nature can be seen in the details, and now this stalemate, this inadvertent revelation of nature, once again sounded the alarm for Yunxi.
No matter how good or outstanding this person is, once he has no bottom line of principles, no beliefs, and only indulges in boundless desires, intoxicated without knowing it, the more outstanding his talents, the greater the harm.
After a moment of stalemate, Yang Tuo suddenly laughed at himself, "Scribe Yun is right, my father's safety is safe at last." His narrow eyes narrowed slightly with a icy light, "I just hope to escape The lost Yao Guangbai will not make a comeback again."
Yunxi stood proudly with his hands behind his back, "My lord, this question is exactly what I want to tell you."
Yang Tuo frowned tightly, "How do you say that?"
"Yao Guangbai is not a god. This time, Mr. Yang's whereabouts are so secret, but he still found out. There is a special reason why he was not noticed." Yunxi said coldly.
"Then what's the reason? Did someone leak the secret, or did Yao Guangbai pretend to be someone again and get involved in the secret operation?" Li Ru next to him asked impatiently.
"Neither of them." Yunxi smiled and shook her head, but her tone was extremely firm, "The reason is actually very simple, and it's also very simple to prevent."
"Simple?" Yang Tuo's eyes were complicated, with fear and suspicion, "What's the reason?"
"Before answering the question of your lord, this subordinate would like to ask, when was the last time Tang Qixing had contact with your lord?" Yunxi smiled and asked seriously.
Yang Tuo frowned, as if remembering, and then replied, "It was you clerk Yun who said that he wanted to mix my father into the coffin in front of Tang Qixing. After that, he controlled his gaze and looked out from the coffin. They secretly changed people in the newly established mechanism at the bottom, and then sent my father out through the secret path. Therefore, Tang Qixing contacted my father, it should be at that time, today's Maochu."
"Then when the mourning hall was attacked, did your lord and Li Gongfang notice a black cat?" Yunxi asked.
"Black cat?" Yang Tuo was obviously very surprised. He turned to look at Li Ru and asked, "Daomin, you have been patrolling the mourning hall at that time, have you seen any black cats?"
Li Ru suddenly raised his head, looked at Yunxi and said excitedly: "There is indeed a black cat!"
Yunxi immediately asked, "Do you know the black cat Li Gongfang?"
Li Ru looked at Yang Tuo uncertainly, and said with a little hesitation, "The wives in Yang's mansion also have a few cats. They go in and out of the mansion on weekdays, and it seems that my subordinates have seen a black cat. Cat, but not sure if it's the one that showed up tonight."
Yang Tuo asked: "There is a black cat at home, but a part of its tail is white, which one do the Taoists see?"
Li Ru shook his head, "That's not the case, that cat is all black."
Yunxi nodded, "That's right, the cat with the abnormality today is pure black, so according to this, it is not the cat of the Yang family." She looked at Li Ru again, and asked, "Does Li Gongfang still remember the cat?" How did that cat appear? Where has it been?"
"I didn't see how it appeared. When I saw it, it had already appeared in the mourning hall, but it just walked around the room and ran out."
"Then what about Tang Qixing?" Yunxi asked.
"Tang Qixing was patrolling the courtyard with the masters of Jinhunzhai."
Yunxi's eyes lit up suddenly, and she said with a bright smile: "My lord, then the secret of Mr. Yang's secret hiding place was finally discovered by Yao Guangbai again!" As she said, she walked forward in two steps, and when she was close to Yangzhou, she closed the door. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then opened his eyes, smiled respectfully at Yang Tuo, raised his finger to Yang Zhou, and made a motion to search him, "My lord, this subordinate is taking the liberty."
Yang Tuo frowned and thought about it, and after a while, he nodded slowly, agreeing to Yunxi's presumptuous move.
Yunxi stepped forward, but did not search Yang Zhou's entire body as everyone thought. Instead, he sniffed and checked carefully. A kit on the waist.
She presented it to Yang Tuo instead, and asked, "Sir, is this sachet a personal possession of your lord?"
Yang Tuo took the sachet, squeezed it with his hands, glanced at it and said indifferently: "This is my father's daily personal thing, is there any difference?" But before he finished speaking, the hand holding the sachet But gradually froze, he lowered his head again, opened his eyes wide and took a closer look, "No! Although the styles are similar, but my father's sachet is a finely crafted Sichuan brocade, but this is ordinary silk and satin! This is not my father's personal clothes. things!"
Hearing this, Li Ru also approached him in surprise, took the sachet, carefully distinguished the details and said: "Indeed, the fancy patterns are very similar at first glance, but the direction of the flowers and the way the vines are wrapped are quite different from the old man's. Far!"
Originally, after hearing what he said before, Yunxi was still admiring Yao Guangbai's meticulous thoughts and skillful means, even the sachet could be noticed in advance, and the whole came out exactly the same.
Hearing the second half, she admired Yang Tuo again, he could feel just the slight difference in style and texture, it seems that he, a rich and handsome son, is really particular about his daily life.
She continued calmly: "The real reason is still inside, please open it and find out."
Li Ru immediately opened the kit for Yang Tuo, and immediately poured out a lot of small dark brown particles the size of soybeans, and at the same time, a strange fragrance overflowed, rushing straight to the sinuses.
"I smelled this aroma on Yao Guangbai when he was hijacked. And I picked up cat food exactly like these on the roof where Yang Li and Boss Bian found the abnormal black cat." Yunxi He said with a light smile, "So the best way to prevent Yao Guangbai is to completely change the old man's clothes from the inside to the outside. If the old man can bear it, it is best to take a bath to wash off the smell thoroughly. "
Yang Tuo looked at the sachet and cat food in Li Ru's hands, and nodded unconsciously, "Okay, I will take my father to wash it up." He raised his head and looked at Yunxi, but there was no doubt in his eyes , There is only trust, "The clerk of Yun Xing Fang Yun will also follow us, no matter whether Yao Guangbai can catch it or not, so many masters will pursue it together, I believe there will be news soon."
Yunxi took a step back, bowed his hands and said, "My lord, although Yao Guangbai escaped at this time, how did he get rid of the control of the mourning hall, and how did he deal with all the guards in this side courtyard? I haven't figured it out yet." Clear. Sir and Boss, please go first, and leave the subordinates here to examine carefully."
Yang Tuo nodded, "That's fine."
"My lord, I still have something to ask." Yunxi suddenly raised his head again, "This subordinate has never experienced the situation in the mourning hall of the main house. Alarms from both sides have been raised one after another, so there must be a connection. Since I am proficient in all kinds of mechanism settings and have personally experienced the whole process, please leave the Li workshop and help my subordinates find out all the organs of the whole incident as soon as possible."
Yang Tuo smiled and agreed generously, "This is naturally not a problem."
After finishing speaking, he turned to Li Ru and nodded, signaling Li Ru to stay and fully cooperate with Yunxi and Yunnan. Surrounded by a group of confidants, he helped Yang Zhou quickly leave this place of right and wrong.
After sending Yang Tuo away, Li Ru immediately walked up to Yunxi, spoke first with a solemn face, and asked, "Scribe Yun, we heard a violent explosion before, what happened here? Has it attacked? But in the center of Teng County, how can there be artillery?"
"Cannon?" Yunxi asked suspiciously, then turned to Yunnan, and asked, "Brother, I've seen cannons before. Was the explosion just now the movement of cannons?" Yunxi asked, looking around at the damage to the surrounding houses, "Is the artillery power of our Ming court actually like this?"
In fact, based on her personal experience and the surrounding environment, this should definitely not be the scene of the shell attack.
There were no potholes on the ground, walls, or houses in the yard, and the previous shock wave was not like the heat wave after a shell exploded, but more like flames spreading and exploding in the air instantly.
But she is not a real ancient person after all, the impression of cannonballs and artillery in her mind is the advanced, lethal and extremely powerful modern weapons of later generations.
So she can't completely deny decisively that this is not the effect of artillery.
Yunnan shook his head resolutely, "If it was really artillery, the yard would have been in ruins long ago, but neither the yard nor the people who were crowded in the yard at that time were tragically hit by the shells, and the people in their hands were even worse. It looks like it's been burned, not like it's been bombed."
Yunxi nodded, it seemed that her previous deduction was not wrong.
"Indeed," Li Ru looked around at the damage in the yard, obviously agreeing with Yunnan's statement, "but it's not artillery, how could there be such a terrifying explosion?" His thoughts fell into another mystery.
This question was beyond Yunxi's mind, "Judging from the overall performance of the incident, this time Yao Guangbai acted alone again, but how did he cause such a big fight by himself?
"Actually, it's not just the explosion that makes people wonder," Yunxi said while frowning, and took out a small homemade charcoal pencil and a small notebook from his arms, opened the notebook, lowered his head, and wrote, "Otherwise, let's write down all the questions first, and then solve them one by one."
Yunnan unconsciously smiled slightly, he knew that according to Yunxi's temperament, he must have scolded her mother in his heart at this time.
This is true.
Although Yunxi likes to solve cases and make inferences, and also likes to catch thieves and catch murderers, the long and cumbersome reasoning process is the most troublesome for her.
Let’s not talk about so many reasoning assumptions, but also back and forth one by one to infer arguments, that is, it is enough to waste brain cells to find all the loopholes in a rigorous list!
So in desperation, she could only use the most stupid and best-operated induction method of counting fingers.
But this time, she intends to let go of her fingers first. After all, counting with her hands takes a lot of effort to memorize. It is more effective and less labor-intensive to write down one by one in a small notebook.
"Indeed," Li Ru nodded in agreement, "There are indeed too many doubts, let's write them down and solve them one by one."
Yunxi glanced at him, it seemed that this Li Ru was also a layman in reasoning, she felt a lot more balanced immediately.
After all, it hurts one's self-confidence every day to solve a case with an unborn genius with peerless beauty.
"Because of the danger that came out first in the mourning hall, let's start with the doubtful points in the mourning hall."
"Okay." Li Ru nodded heavily.
Yunnan covered his lips and coughed lightly. In his eyes, before the reasoning and solving of the case, the methods of these two people were as simple as a child's play, and they were so innocent and cute.
But the easiest way is sometimes the most effective way.
And he was patient enough to stay by Yunxi's side silently, watching her grow up little by little.
"The first one," Yunxi lowered his eyes, followed the movement of the charcoal pencil, and asked in a muttering voice: "Li Gongfang, what was the suspicious situation that happened at first?"
Li Ru paused, "It was Tang Tiqi, who had been patrolling the room, and said he heard a noise, and then went out to have a look."
Yunxi raised his head, "A noise? Only Tang Qixing heard it? Is there anything unusual after going out?"
"That's right, he was the only one who heard it. I asked people around me at the time, but no one heard it again." Li Ru recalled, "I actually kept staring at him through the window, but he walked out of the room and went to the yard Here, it has been patrolling normally, there is no special difference."
"What about the second suspicious thing?" Yunxi continued to ask.
"The second thing is the black cat. As soon as I lowered my head, I saw it. But the cat just turned around and then went out. There is no other difference."
"The third suspicious thing, when did it happen?"
"It took about a stick of incense after the black cat appeared," Li Ru said in a deep voice, "a puff of white smoke came out from the latrine of the second courtyard, and then white smoke came out from the corners of the surrounding walls. Mr. Yang and I also ran out of the house to check. There was white smoke everywhere, which was very scary. Just when we thought Yao Guangbai had set the fire on fire and sent people to put out the fire, the curtain and white flags of the mourning hall behind us suddenly burst into flames. There is a fire, and the fire is getting bigger and bigger," the more he said, the more frightened his face became, as if the scene of the blazing flames appeared again in front of him. "The whole house burned down quickly! The people in Jinhunzhai didn't know that the person in the mourning hall was a substitute for the old man, and they all rushed back to the mourning hall to fight the fire!"
Hearing this, Yunxi was also very surprised. It turned out that the sound of the gong next door was not because of Yao Guangbai's appearance and attack, but because of a big fire.
"What about Tang Qixing? Where was he when the latrine was smoking, and where was he when the mourning hall was on fire?!" Yunxi couldn't help but stop writing, looking at Li Ru and asked anxiously.
"Because I kept staring at him, the first thing I did after the accident was to look for Tang Qixing, but it was already night, and with only torches and lanterns, once the crowd started running in a panic, I lost him. "Speaking of this, Li Ru couldn't help but blush, as if he was ashamed.
"What about when the mourning hall was on fire? Still can't find him?" Yunxi stared at him again.
Li Ru frowned in pain, "Different from the white smoke from the courtyard walls and latrines, the fire in the mourning hall is very strong and rises quickly. I was frightened at the time, because once the fire in the mourning hall cannot be controlled, the entire Yang Mansion will be destroyed." There was a possibility of being burned, so... "He lowered his head and his voice became lower and lower," So afterward, I was so frightened that I completely forgot to see Tang Qixing."
Yunxi and Yunnan looked at each other.
Li Ru is already like this, as the person involved, Yang Tuo, who is concerned about the safety of the entire Yang family, must not be much better.
At that time, all their attention was drawn by the fire, but Jinhunzhai and the yamen arresting squad's barracks really thought that Yang Zhou was still trapped in the spirit room, so no one continued to carry out the siege of Tang Qixing.
Only then did Tang Qixing easily get rid of the crowd again.
"Then what happened next? Is there a fourth suspicious thing?" Yunxi asked in a low voice with a dark face.
Li Ru raised his head in surprise, "Afterwards, there was a burst of firecrackers from all directions, but at the very beginning, no one knew who yelled the "Shenjiying gun", and there were indeed many masters of Jinhunzhai who were shot and fell to the ground. It was all messed up, and I searched around following the sound, but in the end I only found some firecrackers that were put in half."
"Firecrackers?" Yunxi stopped writing again, and looked at Li Ru suspiciously, "There are also firecrackers on our side, didn't you hear it?"
"At that time, there were crackling firecrackers everywhere, thick white smoke, beating gongs, and shouts. It was very chaotic." Li Ru frowned and recalled, "My lord and I thought we had successfully fooled Yao Guang. Bai, to attract all his attacks to the side of the mourning hall, I can't think of it, and I can't hear it, besides ours, yours also has firecrackers."
Yunxi's eyes darkened, "It seems that the triggering time of the two firecrackers overlapped."
She asked again: "But how did those firecrackers appear in Yang's mansion? Didn't we intensively photograph people to go back and forth to inspect them? It's impossible that there are dangerous firecrackers in so many places, but no one discovered it?"
"Those firecrackers were all in the Yang Mansion," Li Ru said with certainty, "but they did not appear at the bottom of the wall before, but were placed in a warehouse in the Second Academy. Because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, every year the Yang Mansion At this time, a lot of fireworks and firecrackers will be set off, so I have stored a lot of them, and I will only set them off one by one during the New Year and the Shangyuan Festival, but I never thought that behind me tonight, they were all stolen and moved to various corners. detonated."
"But inside the wall are all our patrolling people, and outside the wall is the yamen arresting squad's barracks. They haven't stopped anyone at all. It's impossible for these guards to watch others set off firecrackers and be unprepared?"
"That's right!" Li Ru suddenly remembered something, "White smoke is coming out of the latrine! It must have been some time, because there were people patrolling and monitoring the corner before, and there was no firecracker at all."
Yunxi's eyes lit up unconsciously, "First, there was white smoke coming out of the latrine, and then you were all shocked, then there was white smoke coming out of the corner, and then the mourning hall was on fire, at that time, at that time, there was a hole in the wall, and someone Wearing black clothes, throwing firecrackers all the way, running all the way, after throwing the firecrackers, the first one shouted that it was a firearm, and threw out a lot of hidden weapons, focusing on killing and dealing with Jinhun Village!"
"Yes! That must be the case!" Li Ru, who had always been in a low mood, was also excited by everything connected in series.
"And then, is there a fourth doubtful point?" Yunxi wrote it down in a small notebook, and asked without raising her head.
"Later, it's your business." Li Ru's face turned pale again, "I had been fighting the fire at that time, but suddenly I heard a loud noise, and everyone was frightened, thinking they were hit by artillery .”
"Others don't know that the boss is here with us, but Li Gongfang, you and the adults know it? Why didn't you send someone over immediately after our explosion? Was it held back by someone?" This question has been hovering around In Yunxi's heart, she couldn't let go.
At first she thought it was Yao Guangbai who attacked the mourning hall directly, or some other accomplices appeared together and had a direct conflict with Jinhun Village, so when the firecrackers sounded from their side, no reinforcements came from the next door.
But only now did she know that when the cannon was fired on her side, the Yang Mansion was also full of gongs, drums and firecrackers, and she didn't realize that her side had already been attacked.But the subsequent big explosion happened when the sound of firecrackers became weaker, and the Yang Mansion never saw any real enemies.
After the explosion, Yin Sanyu confronted Yao Guangbai who finally showed up for at least a few minutes, and Yang Tuo, who was separated by a wall, had no reason not to send someone to rescue him!
"That's because," Li Ru smiled bitterly, "when the explosion sounded on your side, there was also an explosion on our side."
Yunxi's pupils shrank suddenly, another time overlap!
Not only the lighting time of the two firecrackers overlapped, but also the triggering time of the explosions of the two houses overlapped!
The two houses and the two dangerous situations can be said to have been triggered one after the other.
"Then before the explosion, did you see any large hidden weapons with white smoke?" Yunxi narrowed his eyes slightly, recalling every detail before the explosion, and asked faintly.
"Yes!" Li Ru replied without hesitation, "I didn't notice it at first, but Master Yang pointed to the vision in the sky and asked me what it was, so I discovered it."
"Did it shoot directly into the yard where you guys are?"
"That's right, with a puff of white smoke, when it hit the yard, it turned into a big cloud of white mist with a bang, and then exploded into a sea of flames!" Li Ru's eyes kept flickering, as if the terrible scene was repeating itself again.
"White smoke and white mist again?" Yunxi realized that maybe he had been standing in the room before, and the structure of the window frame limited their sight angle, so they couldn't see all the details clearly.
It wasn't a cannon, but it exploded, there was no murder weapon, it was just a hidden weapon of white smoke and mist, and when it hit the ground, it ignited the air..." Yunxi frowned, narrowed his eyes, and muttered softly.
Her brain was racing.
Unlike the ancients in the Ming Dynasty, as a 21st century woman who has mastered a lot of scientific knowledge, she already has a clearer and clearer answer to these weird scenes.
"What did you think of?" Looking at her non-stop chanting, Yunan was also curious and asked softly.
"Thought the truth about the explosion!" Yunxi raised his head suddenly, then stuffed the pen and paper into Yunan's arms, and ran towards the open space in the middle of the yard!
Li Ruyun looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what Yunxi was thinking.
"Found it!" Yunxi screamed excitedly, and lay down on the ground, carefully dabbing on the ground with both hands, as if looking for something.
Just when Li Ru, who had been overwhelmed by all his curiosity, took the first step towards Yunxi, the gate of the Sanjinyuan was suddenly pushed open!
At the same time, a sharp voice suddenly sounded, causing the three people in the courtyard to raise their heads in surprise!
"Scribe Yun! Yao Guangbai caught him!"
