Chen Xiaomu smiled slightly when he heard this, reached out and pulled out the pistol from his waist, gestured in front of Qingkui's eyes, and said jokingly: "Mr. Qing, you are wrong about this. They didn't fall into my hands, but were killed by my thing. of.
He suddenly pulled out the gun, startling Qing Kui, his face suddenly changed, and he waved his hands and said: "Master Tongpan, please put it away quickly, this thing doesn't know people, if you leave me here again, it will Oh no!"
"Haha, Mr. Qing, you are really thoughtful!" Chen Xiaomu was made to laugh by Qing Kui's fearful and serious expression, and he tucked the pistol back into his waist.
"Oh, that's right." Qingkui said as if he just remembered: "Master Tongpan, I saw an acquaintance among the few people who were just killed. He is the bodyguard I mentioned to you just now. Wang Jin.”
"Well!" Chen Xiaomu said in shock: "Isn't he an escort in your escort agency? How come he got together with these people?"
"Alas! I blame me for not explaining what I said just now." Qingkui shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Wang Jin was an escort in our Zhenyuan Escort Agency for a year, but he resigned two years ago. The escort agency has gone missing, I didn’t expect to meet him here today, and he was also hanging out with these Qi people!”
Chen Xiaomu frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "Mr. Qing, do you think Wang Jin's sudden appearance on this occasion is related to the silver escort escorted from Risheng Money Manor?"
Qingkui looked stunned and said hesitantly: "Master Tongpan, are you saying that the robbers who hijacked the silver darts of Zhenyuan Escort Bureau this time are the group brought by Wang Jin?"
Chen Xiaomu shook his head gently: "I'm afraid there are far more than just the few people in front of me. Mr. Qing, think about it! The three escort bureaus combined have bodyguards and dozens of silver transport vehicles. With these few people, even if they are all With three heads and six arms, I’m afraid I won’t be able to greet you!”
"This..." Qingkui pondered for a moment and analyzed: "Master Tongpan, I heard that there were more than 30 skilled escorts dispatched by the three escort agencies to protect Risheng Qianzhuang this time. In addition, there are more than 20 coachmen driving the carriage. If we want to subdue this large group of people, I am afraid that the number of experts dispatched by the opponent will not be less than 200. Now we have chased so far and only met these few people. , isn’t it strange? So many people and cars have gone there?”
Chen Xiaomu thought for a moment and said quietly: "Could it be hidden in the cave where Gui Jianchou is?"
Qingkui was confused when he heard this: "Master Tongpan, I just heard from Wang Jin that the Guijianchou Cave has an exit in Xinhe County. As for where the exit is here, I'm afraid I have to look for it slowly. .”
At this time, Qing Wan'er, who was helping the injured Tong Dabiao up from the snow, suddenly raised his head and said: "Grandpa, why don't you go interrogate the injured thief in the house?" "
Qingkui's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately praised: "My granddaughter is still smart!"
Then he turned around and said: "Your Majesty, all we need to do now is ask this person, and the matter will be clear, right?" "
"Okay!" As soon as Chen Xiaomu said the word "good", he suddenly heard a muffled "bang" coming from the room.
The two of them were startled when they heard the sound, looked at each other at the same time, kicked up their feet and ran towards the house. When they entered the house, they were stunned by the scene they saw. The man in black, whose hands had been chopped off by Wei Yuxin, actually had a head. He hit the wall so hard that his brain burst. Only his legs were still shaking slightly. He was probably dead at this moment.
"Oh, these must be dead soldiers! They can't be caught alive easily!" Qingkui sighed softly as he looked at the body of the man in black that was not yet dead.
Chen Xiaomu said: "Now there is another way. Let's find the old couple who runs the store and ask if there is a cave nearby that can penetrate Mangdang Mountain."
"This is a good idea. I think this old couple has opened a hotel here for a long time. People come and go, not to mention the hunters who hunt in the mountains often bring game meat here. I guess they must have heard of this cave. ." Qingkui immediately agreed with Chen Xiaomu's proposal.
Next, several people started to look for the old couple who opened the shop separately near the hotel. Sure enough, under a wind-sheltered slope not far from the small hotel, Chen Xiaomu found the couple, who was shaking and tight because of fear or the cold. Old couple hugging each other.
When he saw Chen Xiaomu walking towards him, the old man said in a trembling voice: "Hero, spare your life. The little old man and the old woman didn't see anything today."
Chen Xiaomu grinned, reached out and took out a waist tag from his waist, and said: "Don't worry, old man. I am the general judge of Xinjing Prefecture. I led people out to investigate a bank robbery case today. Everything that happened here, I The government will send someone to inform Xinhe County Government and the government will also be responsible for compensation for any damage caused to the store."
Hearing what Chen Xiaomu said, the nervous expression on the old man's face relaxed a lot. He looked carefully at the badge in Chen Xiaomu's hand. Although he didn't know many words, he could still recognize the words "Governor General and Judge" on the badge! He was about to kneel down and bow down. When Chen Xiaomu saw this, he stepped forward and took his arm, and said with a smile: "This is not an official hall, I don't need to be polite. I have something else to ask my uncle for advice."
The old man's face froze when he heard this, and then he said politely: "Please tell me, sir. If I know, I will tell you the truth."
Chen Xiaomu pointed to the rolling Mangdang Mountain not far away and asked: "Have you ever heard of a cave nearby that can pass through this mountain and reach the other side of the mountain?"
The old man laughed when he heard this, stroking his snow-white beard under his chin with his hand, and said slowly: "You are asking about the Immortal Cave, right?"
"Fairy Cave?" Chen Xiaomu was confused for a moment, and thought to himself: "Gui Jianchou didn't understand why another fairy cave popped up. Is there another cave that runs through Mangdang Mountain today?" Seeing Chen Xiaomu's face at a loss, The old man continued: "The little old man heard from the hunters who often come to deliver mountain goods that there are immortals practicing in this fairy cave, and mortals are not allowed to approach it. It is said that everyone who enters the cave is kept inside, and no one has come out so far. , life or death is uncertain!"
Hearing this, Chen Xiaomu couldn't help but interjected: "Old man, does this fairy cave also have a name called Guijianchou?"
After hearing this, the old man thought for a moment and said: "I heard a guest from Linshan County say that there is also a cave in Linshan County, which seems to make ghosts see trouble. As for Xinhe County, This little old man has no way of knowing whether the Immortal Cave is connected to the same cave."
"So that's it!" Chen Xiaomu nodded, and then asked: "Old man, do you know where this fairy cave is?"
The old man pointed to the snowy road in front of the mountain and said: "Master, follow this road and walk back for about ten miles. When you see a sunken valley on the roadside, you can get off the road and walk in. That fairy cave The entrance to the cave is under a thick pine tree in a mountain depression, and you can see it if you pay close attention."
After listening to the old man's directions, Chen Xiaomu realized that it turned out that several of his people had just ran past the entrance of the cave.
When the three of them climbed up from the slope, there were no less than twenty strong men standing at the door of the small hotel. They were dressed like farmers. Each of them was holding an iron fork or a whistle stick as thick as an arm. A fat man in his forties, wearing a lake blue robe and a member's square scarf on his head, seemed to be the leader of the group. Qingkui was talking face to face with him at the moment. When he heard the footsteps, he raised his head Seeing Chen Xiaomu and the others walking towards him, without waiting for Qingkui's introduction, they came over to greet him and clasped his fists, "Is this Mr. Chen from the Xinjing Prefecture Yatong Judge coming?"
Chen Xiaomu nodded and said hesitantly: "Exactly, who are you?"
The fat man said with a flattering smile: "Master Chen, this villain is Mao Yuanping, the lizheng of this mountain village."
"Oh, it turns out to be Yuan Mao." Chen Xiaomu forced a smile.
Mao Yuanping took a step forward and said: "Just now, I heard from a hunter that a murder had occurred in the hotel owned by Old Man Xu. Therefore, in addition to sending someone to Xinhe County Yamen to report to the county magistrate, Mr. Qian, I also We quickly gathered the people in the village to come and take care of the scene!"
"There is no need to investigate, these people were killed by my own officers." Chen Xiaomu said lightly.
Hearing this, Mao Yuanping nodded and bowed: "Master Qing has just told this to the villain. These people are all bank robbers. They deserve to die. They deserve to be killed!"
After hearing this, Chen Xiaomu's expression softened a lot, and then he asked him: "Are any of your people good at martial arts?"
"Yes, yes, of course!" Mao Yuanping Nuonuo said repeatedly.
"Okay then" Chen Xiaomu was not polite and said bluntly: "Except Member Mao, you can pick out the talented people and come with us to the Immortal Cave."
"Ah! Sir, are you going to the Immortal Cave?" Mao Yuanping was shocked when he heard this.
Chen Xiaomu nodded: "Yes, what's wrong?"
Mao Yuanping stammered: "My lord, you can't go to the Immortal Cave! That's where the immortals practice. Mortals who go there will be punished by God!"
Chen Xiaomu's face suddenly darkened and he shouted angrily: "What crime should be committed by spreading rumors to confuse the public?"
"Ah! No, no, sir, I didn't spread rumors to confuse the public." Mao Yuanping was frightened and hurriedly yelled: "If you don't believe me, ask old man Xu, there are several hunters nearby who never returned after entering the fairy cave. He didn’t come out, and even the officials sent by the government to look for him disappeared in the cave!”
"Then I want to say that there are still silver robbers hiding in that cave?" Chen Xiaomu asked with a sneer.
"This... how is this possible?" Mao Yuanping blinked and looked at Chen Xiaomu with an expression of disbelief.
"According to my inference, there are at least hundreds of silver-robbers hiding in that fairy cave!" Chen Xiaomu said again.
Mao Yuanping cupped his hands and said: "If it is true as the adults said, I think this is a good thing!"
"Well, tell me, what's the good thing?"
Mao Yuanping said seriously: "Sir, as far as I know, as long as you enter the fairy cave, you can't come out. Think about it, those silver robbers are now hiding in the fairy cave, and they use us to take action. The old gods took care of them.
"Nonsense, have you ever seen an immortal in the Immortal Cave?" Chen Xiaomu scolded: "Besides, even if there are immortals in the Immortal Cave, what about the silver? Don't you want it?"
"Ah! This..." Mao Yuanping was speechless for a moment, so he could only say: "Sir, if not, I will choose a few people to accompany you to the Immortal Cave."
Chen Xiaomu frowned: "Why, don't you, Mr. Mao, go together?"
"Hehe" Mao Yuanqing laughed dryly: "Please forgive me for this. After all, I am the official who sent people to the county government to report, so I have to stay and wait for Master Qian to arrive so that I can explain the cause of the matter to him to avoid anything happening in the process." Misunderstand!"
Chen Xiaomu sneered in his heart: "It turns out that this guy was frightened by the so-called Immortal Cave, so now he is looking for excuses to avoid going to the Immortal Cave with them."
