Chapter 2245 2247 [Deep hidden power and name]
Xiang Nan stayed on the tree for nearly two hours, and it wasn't until it was dark that he vaguely smelled a stench, which became stronger and stronger.
This smell is different from the smell in Qixia Town.
The smell of Qixia Town is the smell of fermented sewage. But now this stench is clearly the stench of corpses. As a good doctor, Xiang Nan is naturally familiar with this.
As the stench became stronger, Xiang Nan also began to hear swishing sounds, like the sound of small animals running on the ground.
Xiang Nan's heart moved, and he guessed that Lei Lao Wu should be coming out.
He quickly held his breath and concentrated, not making a sound.
A moment later, I saw a black figure slowly coming out of the tree hole.
As it drilled out, its body size gradually became larger. At the beginning, it was only the size of a dog, and it didn't look like a human being at all. After a while, he finally regained his human form.
During the process of this change, his bones creaked strangely, which made Xiang Nan's heart shudder.
If he hadn’t been mentally prepared, he knew that this was Lei Lao Wu’s bone shrinking skill. Seeing this scene in the wilderness, deep in the mountains and dense forests, he really thought he saw a living ghost.
…
After Lei Laowu regained his human form, he saw that there was no one around, so he dumped the full bag on the ground and inspected it one by one.
"Not bad, not bad, all are good treasures. As expected of Wang Ling, the baby is..." He smiled proudly.
At this moment, Xiang Nan flicked his finger, and a flying needle shot out, but there was almost no sound.
Especially now at dusk, flocks of birds return to their nests and cry; beasts come out of their dens and roar again and again. The subtle sound made by the flying needle is even more difficult to detect.
In addition, Lei Lao Wu is only good at shrinking bones, and he is not good at other martial arts. In the play, when he competed with Lao Bai, he dug a hole into the yamen, but he was captured alive by a few tolerance officers.
In comparison, Pinggu Yidianhong went to prison to save the salt dealer. Even though the county government had made preparations in advance, inviting the police from Shibalipu and Zuojiazhuang to ambush together, and prepared long weapons and crossbows, Pinggu Yidianhong was still unstoppable.
It can be seen from this that Lei Lao Wu's kung fu is not strong.
What's more, he didn't know that Xiang Nan was ambushing him, and it was impossible to guard against him if he did the calculations mentally or unintentionally.
Xiang Nan shot it with one needle, but Lei Lao didn't move five times, and was directly pierced by the flying needle in the acupoint, and stayed in place, motionless.
…
Xiang Nan then floated down the tree and came behind him, hoping that he would know how to untie the acupuncture point, so he tapped him a few more times.
After making sure that he couldn't move, Xiang Nan used lightness kung fu and went all the way to Lou Zhi County's home.
Didn't ask the servant to report, but used lightness kung fu, entered over the wall, and saw Lou Zhixian eating in the room.
Xiang Nan didn't go up to meet him, but took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and picked up a stone on the ground. Wrap the stone in paper, and flick it with your fingers.
The stone flew away with a whistling roar, hitting the job bowl of Louzhi County with a slap. With a click, the rice bowl was smashed to pieces.
Lou Zhixian was taken aback for a moment, and quickly looked out, but the figure had long since disappeared.
Then he looked down again, and saw the stone wrapped in paper on the table. He opened it and saw that it said, "The tomb of King Xin of Taiping Mountain was stolen."
Lou Zhixian was shocked when he saw it.
As a parent officer, he naturally knew who King Xin was. I didn't expect his tomb to be in Taiping Mountain, let alone his tomb would be stolen.
This is a major case of Tongtian. Once the case is discovered, the imperial court will be furious.
Therefore, Lou Zhi County couldn't take care of eating, so he immediately summoned people to rush to Taiping Mountain.
"The magistrate of the county, he's caught, it's him." Catcher Xing was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He didn't expect such a big case to be solved so quickly, and the tomb robber was arrested.
Looking at his attire, looking at the stolen goods piled up in front of him, it's like getting both stolen goods, and he can't even think about it.
"Very well, take him away and take away all the stolen goods." Lou Zhixian didn't expect the case to be solved so quickly, and he couldn't help but lamented the protection of the gods.
…
Xiang Nan followed from a distance, and he was relieved to see Lei Lao Wu being taken away.
The reason why he hides his head and shows his tail like this, almost sneaky, is to avoid getting into trouble.
Because Lei Laowu is from a family of tomb robbers, his family's kung fu may not be very good, but his bone shrinking skills and hole digging skills are almost unique in the world.
To offend such a person, you are not afraid of him confronting him head-on, but you are afraid of him secretly killing you. Bone shrinking skill combined with ground movement technique is the most suitable for assassination, it is almost impossible to guard against.
Xiang Nan wanted to catch him, but he didn't want to be retaliated against, so he used this method.
As a result, Lei Laowu was caught in the act, and no one except himself knew that he was the one who shot.
…
In the next few days, the news that King Xin's tomb was stolen in Taiping Mountain spread throughout Qixia Town.
Many people seem to have experienced it personally, and they spread it with their noses and eyes.
Such as how Lei Laowu dug the robbery hole, what treasures are in the tomb of King Xin, how the Yamen set up an ambush in advance, etc., are just as mysterious as novels.
This is also thanks to Catcher Xing's publicity. It turned out that he was the one who caught Lei Laowu that day.
Obviously Lei Lao Wu was captured by Xiang Nan, but he still took all the credit for it. He boasted that he had received the news a long time ago, and then squatted at the entrance of the robbery hole early, and caught him as soon as Lei Laowu appeared.
The common people were short-sighted and couldn't see through Xing Butou's nonsense, so they naturally believed it, and praised him for his courage, strategy, and martial arts skills, so that he was able to catch the tomb robber quickly and make great contributions.
Everyone's compliments also made Catcher Xing proud and happy.
In these days, the former captor Xiang Nan first competed in martial arts to get married, and won a beautiful girl. After that, he wiped out Heifengzhai, wiped out one evil for the common people, and became a hero praised by everyone.
A few days ago, he even donated all the gift money to benefit Qixia Town, which made him even more praised by the people.
Compared to him, the current head catcher looks a little incompetent and bleak.
Now, he finally won the game by capturing the tomb robber, and he was proud, naturally very happy.
…
"Let me tell you that the tomb of King Xin was stolen, and the court was furious. Even the emperor was angry. He specially sent Liu Shilang from the Ministry of War to supervise the case, and he will be there in a few days." Xing Butou was drinking at the Tongfu Inn. On the one hand, he said to everyone.
"Oh, Minister of the Ministry of War?! That's a high-ranking official. It seems that we have never been such a big official in Qixia Town." Tong Xiangyu laughed.
"That's natural." Xing Butou nodded, "I'm telling you, Liu Shilang sent a message, and when the time comes, he will specially interview me."
"Ah, Lao Xing, you are really good." Tong Xiangyu smiled.
"Congratulations to Xing Tutou!", "Xing Tutou is amazing!"
The other diners also congratulated.
Xing Toutou is the only headhunter in this town. He is responsible for patrolling the streets, suppressing the ground, arresting suspects, and maintaining law and order. He has quite a lot of power.
The so-called county officials are not as good as the current ones. Few people dare to offend such small officials with real power. Naturally, everyone is happy to join in.
Xing Baotou was naturally even more proud when he heard it, he couldn't close his mouth with a smile.
