Chapter 375 Earrings
The group of people walked through several yards, without exception, not to mention people, not even a ghost. Tie Zhu muttered:
"Could it be that this is really a den of bandits! Otherwise, why would there be women!"
Although these houses were moved very clean, not a single needle was left behind. But whether there is a woman in a family can be seen from the details.
Feng Lisheng didn't say a word, and walked all the houses in this valley. There is a large martial arts training ground in the back mountain, and beside it is a row of weapon racks that have not been dismantled in time.
Seeing this, several people felt that this was indeed a place where soldiers were stationed, after all what they had just seen. The breath of life is too strong.
Feng Lisheng finally came to the mansion with three entrances. The door was symbolically locked from the inside, but to them, it was just deception.
Tie Zhu tapped his toes lightly, and after a few vertical leaps he easily climbed onto the wall. Not long after, the door opened from the inside.
Feng Lisheng stepped into the courtyard first. There are pavilions, terraces and waterside pavilions in the garden. At first glance, the courtyard is surprisingly elegant. It wasn't until I came to the main hall and stared at the grand teacher's chair covered with tiger skin in the hall that there was a shadow of a bandit den.
He ordered several people, "Search this yard."
When the voice falls, what do you feel? Suddenly rushed out of the main room, pushed open the nearest window and dodged out.
Tie Zhu subconsciously looked towards the direction he was leaving, and saw that there seemed to be a black shadow passing by at a high speed. Another guard beside him was stunned:
"What...what's the situation? There are still people here? But this person is very good at light kung fu!"
Tie Zhu patted the talking guard's head angrily: "What an elm head! Obviously, we have been followed since we entered Qishan, and the other side followed us all the way after we broke the formation. Now it's almost 10% We found something important in one step."
The guard rubbed his head, and answered in a daze: "So this is what the young master said about the praying mantis catching the cicada, and the oriole is behind. We have worked so hard this time, maybe we made wedding dresses for others!"
Tie Zhu's face darkened: "Shut up if you can't speak."
The other two guards asked: "Then what are we going to do now, are we going to chase after him?"
"Forget it, with the young master here, we can't help you in the past. Follow the young master's instructions and search the yard carefully!"
Several people acted separately, but they searched the yard inside and out, but they didn't find anything useful.
But the guard who spoke just now pointed to an inconspicuous beam, and said with a bitter face: "There are traces of being turned over here. It seems that the thing has really been taken away by the thief!"
The iron pillar climbed up to the beam and took a closer look. It was found that the corners of the beams were obviously scratched with a knife.
The guard was still puzzled and muttered: "Hey, how did he find out in such a short time? Could it be that he knew where the things were hidden in advance?"
Tie Zhu pointed to the dust in the corner of the wall, "Except for the beams, there are no footprints or other traces left in the rest of the place, which is enough to show that the other party is a habitual criminal who is proficient in this way."
While talking, Feng Lisheng came back, saw him empty and alone, Tie Zhu stepped forward and asked cautiously: "Young master, did you catch anyone?"
Feng Lisheng's complexion was not very good and he said "hmm": "The other party's lightness kung fu is better than mine."
Tie Zhu was a little unbelievable: "So powerful, could it be some hermit master in the world!"
Except for those a few reclusive masters in the world and the masters of Jing and Emperor around him, Feng Lisheng is almost rare to meet opponents.
"From the tone of your son, you seem to know this person?"
After confirming that there was nothing to be found in this room, Feng Lisheng went out first. "If I'm not mistaken, this person should be Shui Wuhen, the godly thief in the Jianghu!"
"It's that Shui Wuhen who I've been chasing after for two months. According to Madam, the young master also met this person when he was in Xianyang County Shoufu last time?"
Of course Feng Lisheng remembered this incident. That time he and Shen Mingjiao went to the Sheriff's Mansion in disguise to find evidence, but by accident, they scared the Sheriff of Xianyang to death, and in the end they were cut off by a man in black.
Feng Lisheng didn't doubt whether this person had been following them all the time, just waiting to find out!
But things have already happened, it is useless to think too much, Tie Zhu frowned and said: "Young Master, do you feel that everything here is weird?"
Several people walked towards the backyard, Feng Lisheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh, tell me more specifically?"
"First of all, this is definitely not a place to simply raise private soldiers. Real private soldiers are similar to dead soldiers, and they won't have so much fireworks, let alone have families!
But if you say that this is a bandit den, it doesn’t look like it, let alone anything else, from the architectural layout in this yard, it can be seen that the owner must have been born in an extraordinary way, and ordinary people simply cannot cultivate such a vision and taste.
Also, the regulations on the martial arts training field in the back mountain were completely designed according to the regulations of the military competition field. "
Feng Lisheng asked: "What else?"
Tie Zhu frowned and shook his head: "This is the only thing you can think of?"
Feng Lisheng pointed to the courtyard wall built of blue bricks, "This courtyard has been built for at least seven or eighty years."
The first emperor was not even born seven or eighty years ago, let alone the prince!
"Young Master, what you mean is that this place has existed for many years. The owner of this courtyard used to be an extraordinary person. Later, he may have committed some crimes and took his clansmen to hide in this mountain. From generation to generation, these clansmen have gradually become bandits,"
He continued to speculate: "Later, the crown prince somehow found out about this place, so he subdued and controlled the leader here, and asked the other party to help her secretly raise private soldiers.
My lord, you said that these people left two or three months ago, so why did they leave suddenly? "
"Because I had to leave for a reason."
As soon as the voice fell, the guard in charge of searching the backyard hurried over: "My lord, we found this in a woodshed."
The guard opened the cloth towel in his hand, revealing an ice-blue earring, and the broken diamonds on it shone brightly under the moonlight.
Feng Lisheng picked it up and looked at it, and confirmed that it was indeed set with diamonds, without thinking about it. Lift your feet and continue walking to the backyard.
Since years ago, floating light has allowed craftsmen to make tools for cutting diamonds. Afterwards, diamond-encrusted jewelry was launched in Meimei Pavilion, which was unsurprisingly highly sought after by female relatives.
However, due to the complicated craftsmanship, there are not many products launched every month, and the price of each jewelry is also very expensive. Shen Mingjiao mentioned these to him in the letter.
Not long after, I arrived at the firewood room that the guard had mentioned, and when I opened the door, I was greeted with a rotten smell. Through the light of the torch, I saw a string of hemp ropes thrown on the ground, and there were several puddles of dried and blackened blood on the ground.
Tie Zhu knelt down, looked at the blue bricks and dirt on the ground, and said, "There are blood marks in the cracks of the bricks, how many people have been imprisoned in this room!"
The "closed" he said naturally didn't refer to the literal meaning, but meant that all the people locked up here had been tortured or beaten.
