Looking at the several corpses that were fished out, Hutingtuochi frowned.
"Did you see anything?"
The temporary worker shook his head: "Big boss, apart from some beatings, there are no other suspicious injuries on their bodies, and they are not poisoned. It seems that they died of drowning."
So many people drowned together?
Hutingtuochi instinctively felt something was wrong.
"Big boss," two trembling horse thieves were pushed out, "these are the cooks, they are witnesses."
Hutingtuo nodded slowly, his voice kind: "Don't be afraid, tell me what happened."
The two of them swallowed their saliva and talked about what they saw with trembling fear.
It's basically the same as the rumors.
The old and new horse thieves refused to give in to each other as if they had eaten gunpowder, and they arrived near the water source. I don’t know how it slipped in.
It seemed that someone had cramps and dragged the others into the water.
"Big Chief. We were in a hurry to go back to cook, fetched water and left. We thought they could come up from the water, but who knew..."
"It's none of your business." Hutingtuochi waved his hand, his brows almost killing mosquitoes.
He walked around the water a few more times.
However, investigating the facts is not his specialty. Hu Tingtuochi couldn't see anything strange at all, so he had to give up in the end.
"What's going on around the stone forest recently?"
The subordinate next to him was stunned.
Although it is not snowing now, it is still the twelfth month of winter. In addition, there was an earth-shattering sandstorm two months ago. Except for those who were jealous of attacking Yun Chui, most of the other Xiliang people were huddled at home according to their habits.
"Go back to the big leader." He said respectfully: "Except for someone firing a cloud-piercing arrow in the Desert of No Return half a month ago in the north, there was no other movement.
Hutingtuo nodded belatedly, he also remembered this matter.
"I remember that the team that went to the north to check only came back with four people?"
"Yes." The staff nodded: "According to what they said, they found nothing. Instead, they encountered sand wolves and almost wiped out the entire army."
As he spoke, the staff also reacted: "What do you mean, Chief..."
The three bearded men were about to return to their residence.
Wow.
A large number of murderous people suddenly appeared all around.
Before they could react, they were tied up tightly, stuffed with rags in their mouths, and escorted directly in front of Huting Tochi.
"Tell me, what did you see in the north half a month ago? How did Sha Jiang die, and where did you go after leaving the stone forest this morning?"
The three of them were at a loss and were shocked when they heard this. The other two pony thieves were so scared that they collapsed on the ground and almost peed their pants.
After all, Huzi had seen the world, and he couldn't bear to look at the two cowards next to him.
If they hadn't been together all this time, he would have suspected that the two people next to him had snitched on him.
However, his insistence was meaningless, the appearance of the three people said everything.
Hutingtuochi waved his hand, and immediately there were horse thieves searching the three people's rooms and interrogating them one by one.
Of course there was nothing in the room.
However, none of the three bearded men are tough guys. The horse thieves had just begun to torture him, and their hands were not even warm, so they explained the ins and outs clearly.
"The one carrying the big sword is really Yun Chuiren? You read that right."
There were a few whip marks all over his beard, and he gasped: "Back to the big leader, that man has black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin. The younger one will definitely not be mistaken."
Yun Chuiren?
Hutingtuochi was a little unbelievable.
Is it really a lost caravan?
cough!
The staff member coughed lightly.
"The big leader may be a lackey of the royal court who disguised himself as Yun Chui to paralyze us."
"That's right." Huting Tuochi immediately reacted.
Gu Qing
He is the leader of the horse thieves, but he is also a traitor in the eyes of the Xiliang royal court.
As long as the Grassland King knows about the news of his request, not to mention the horse bandits in Stone Forest, even Tianya Haijiao will send troops to kill them.
"That person just asked you to take another pill and didn't ask for anything else, so he let you go?"
"Yes..." Huzi was about to nod.
Suddenly an idea flashed through his mind, and he broke into a sweat again. "That's right. The man also asked for a small sheepskin coat."
"Big Chief," Huzi was so anxious that he almost bit his own tongue: "But that small piece of clothing has been worn for more than two years..."
Clothes arraignment?
Hutingtuo didn't listen anymore.
"Everyone, please be aware that there may be an enemy in the stone forest. That person may be disguised as any of you."
"Everyone, search carefully! Search inch by inch, and I must find him."
He thought for a moment and pointed at the three bearded men: "Where are the doctors? Come and check whether the three of them are really poisoned or whether they are still lying."
Ren Ning hid silently in the corner of a stone pillar not far away and heard everything clearly.
Soon, the entire Horse Bandit Stone Forest was in a commotion.
There were messy horse thieves looking through things everywhere, and even some newcomers were caught and carefully scanned their bodies to see if they had been disguised.
Some young people lost their anus, and some new people were robbed of valuable things by old thieves in the name of search.
In shame and anger, they couldn't help but draw their swords at each other.
It didn't take long for the clanging to begin.
As a result, in less than half a day, nearly fifty people died in the entire stone forest.
As for the three bearded men, after careful inspection, the two doctors found that there was nothing unusual except that they were a little weak.
The two discussed for a while and then went back to report the inspection results to Huting Tochi.
Bah bah bah.
Before the doctors finished speaking, hurried footsteps sounded behind them.
Someone almost stepped on their heels and ran in, "Big Chief, the three bearded men are dead."
"What?" The two doctors couldn't believe it.
Huting Tuochi jumped up and asked, "How did you die?"
"This..." The visitor glanced at the two doctors and said, "The younger one is not a doctor. I can't tell the difference at the moment."
"But the younger ones can use their heads to guarantee that no one else has entered the cell they are in."
"Let's go!" Hu Tingtuochi couldn't sit still anymore, "Let's go and take a look."
The group returned to the temporary prison.
The eyes of the three bearded men were wide open, they were too dead to die.
The doctor, who was sweating profusely, hurriedly went up to check.
After a while, the two looked at each other and murmured: "Big boss, the three of them are indeed dead."
The staff next to him was furious: "Quack doctor, didn't you just keep saying that they were fine?"
The two doctors looked aggrieved.
When they checked just now, the three of them were indeed fine.
Hu Ting Tuo Chi signaled his staff to leave.
He looked around, but the cell was not clearly visible and there was no way to hide anyone.
"Two doctors, I don't know how they died. Were they poisoned or something else?"
The two doctors were busy again.
Cutting and cutting, the three corpses were broken into pieces, like a slaughterhouse.
They immersed themselves in discussion for a while before speaking hesitantly.
"Big boss, there are many wonders in the world. Please forgive me for my lack of talent and knowledge. I don't know many poisons. These three people seem to have been poisoned and scared to death..."
Scared to death?
There was a moment of silence in the dark, cold prison.
