The old monkey paused for a moment before saying:
A few days later, the people in Xingu City discovered that the clouds surrounding the city not only did not disperse but became thicker and thicker. Weird things happened one after another in Xingu City.
First, someone saw a wild dog standing up and talking, and then someone was knocked on the door by a fox... Just when the strange things were getting worse, a large group of crows suddenly flew over in Xinggu City, attacking the houses from house to house. If you fall, you can't drive it away.
At this time, everyone in Xinggu City panicked.
There is a saying in Xingu City that crows can smell dead people. When a person is about to die, crows will alight on his house.
At that time, Xingu City was full of crows. Who wouldn’t be afraid?
Someone really couldn't stand it anymore, so he killed a few crows. As a result, no one in the family was left alive that night. The dead people stared at each other, as if they had seen something that could scare people to death. .
Now the people in Xinggu City really couldn't sit still. They looked everywhere for the blind fortune teller, but what they found was the blind man's body.
The blind man's body was lying on the table, and the blood from his mouth dyed half of the table red. He was still holding a brush in his hand, as if he was still writing something before he died.
Those people moved the blind man's body away, only to see a piece of paper stained red with blood under his body. Some people looked at it for a long time before they could barely make out what it said: Three thieves are in prison, they can be saved. If you build an ancient city and reveal secrets, I will die.
There is a way to save the ancient city, but the people in the ancient city are confused. No one knows what "three thieves in prison" means?
The prison in Xingugu City is ready-made, and the prison has existed for hundreds of years.
But what are the "three thieves"?
Several officials in Xingu City analyzed it for several days and determined that the "three thieves" must be three gangsters lurking in Xingu City. Those three people might have been hiding in Xingu City for a long time, preparing to bloodbath Xingu City.
No matter what others thought, the officials of Xing Ancient City at that time believed in their speculation. Immediately, a city-wide search began for Jiangyang's thieves, and as a result, both Gu Ye and Ma Biao were arrested.
Strangely enough, after the two of them went to prison, Bai Longzhen, who was surrounding Xinggu City, disappeared without a trace. Xinggu City just settled down.
The old monkey paused here: "I later inquired and found out that Mr. Gu and Ma Biao came here because of the White Dragon Siege. According to them, the White Dragon Siege was a sign of the birth of Chongbao. The two of them It’s purely for the money.”
I thought for a moment and said, "According to you, Gu Ye and Ma Biao shouldn't be the only two people from the world who rushed to Xinggu City at that time, right?"
The old monkey nodded and said: "At that time, more than a hundred people were arrested in Xinggu City. After these people went to prison, they were either subdued by Mr. Gu and Ma Biao or died in prison."
"If, according to this calculation, the theory of three thieves entering prison is one less person." I muttered to myself and then asked: "When did you come in?"
The old monkey said embarrassedly: "When I came in, I was seven or eight years later than the two of them. If one of my sisters hadn't fed me too much, I wouldn't have been able to get in!"
"After I came in, Master Gu detained me and refused to let me go. I'm going to stay here forever."
I definitely can’t believe everything Old Monkey said next. However, I didn’t try to expose the other party, so I changed the subject and said, “Have you ever heard of the Faceless Case in Xinggu City? When did that happen?”
"I've heard it, I've heard it..." Old Monkey said: "The Faceless Case happened in the third year after Mr. Gu and the others came in."
I roughly understand that Jiang Leyou was probably led to Xingu City by the "White Dragon Besieged City". He should have been eyeing the prison in Xingu City, but Gu Ye and Ma Biao in the prison made him dare not act rashly, so he chose to control Xingu City and surrounded the prison from the outside.
I asked in a deep voice: "You have been in this prison for almost ten years, right? Apart from the things you just told me, you didn't find out anything else?"
The old monkey said: "Master Gu and Ma Biao are on the bottom floor of the prison. No one else can enter that place easily. Even the jailer can only send food and drink to the third floor from the bottom, and then the two of them can Send his men down below."
"The two of them rarely come up here. I don't know much about the things here."
I nodded and said, "In this case, you can make an appointment for me to meet the two of them."
The old monkey was immediately frightened by me: "Uncle Master, are you kidding me? What we Buddhists value is to act in secret. If you meet them like this, isn't that showing off?"
I smiled and said, "If I don't go to see them, they won't know that I'm here?"
"Believe it or not, they might be waiting for me to go over to visit the pier. Go ahead! I will arrange the rest myself."
Lao Hou'er was forced to have no choice but to send his men to contact the contact person.
The next day when we were having fun, someone came over quietly and lowered his voice and said, "Master Gu wants to see you, come with me."
I just leaned forward a little, and the nearby prisoners quietly gathered around, blocking me and the old monkey. The man quickly led us into the cell on the other side of the playground.
The cell over there is the main body of the prison, and it is much larger than the place I lived in the day before. After I followed the man down the three floors of the dungeon, I saw him in a cell that was decorated like a study. Mr. Gu.
I originally thought that the other party would be a feminine and charming man, but I didn't expect that Mr. Gu would be an academic-looking old man with long braids. When Mr. Gu saw me coming in, he pushed up his glasses: "You want to see me? What time is it outside?"
I looked at Mr. Gu and said, "Do you want me to say whether it's the year of Xuantong or the year of the Republic of China?"
As soon as I said these words, the old monkey's face turned pale with fright: "Don't talk nonsense. It's obviously the year of Xuantong. What are you talking about?"
Gu Ye's eyes behind his glasses were also a bit sharp: "Didn't the old monkey teach you any rules before you came in?"
The old monkey quickly said: "Master Gu, blame me for this, I haven't..."
"Shut up! I'm asking him." Master Gu just shouted, and someone pressed a knife on the old monkey's neck.
I said calmly: "The world outside will not change because of your obsession. The only thing that can really change the era name is in this cell."
Mr. Gu suddenly looked at me and said, "What do you know?"
Two of Mr. Gu's men, one on the left and one on the right, put their knives on my neck.
The bright blade shone coldly under my neck, but I didn't panic at all - from the moment Master Gu put the knife on my neck, I knew that I made the right bet.
I can at least take down one of the two big guys in prison.
