Fix Smile Order Chapter 78:
Tang Tianyuan's heart sank, and he forced himself to calm down. He called people again, and found that Cong Shun was also missing with Tan Lingyin.
Everyone has changed from the surprise of finding gold to the current horror.
"Why are the good big living people gone..." Zhao Xiaoliu's voice trembled.
There are ambiguities in these words. Tang Tianyuan didn't like to hear them, so he gave Zhao Xiaoliu a cold look. Zhao Xiaoliu made a quick move and hid behind King Li.
King Li had just climbed out of the water, and was shivering with the cold, and he didn't even have time to get nervous.
The feng shui master said, "My lord, I think we angered the owners of this place, so they were taken away," he said, glanced at King Li, and pointed to the gold brick in his hand, "Hurry up and give it to others. Go back!"
The king threw the gold brick back into the water tremblingly.
Tang Tianyuan doesn't want to listen to their nonsense anymore. He didn't believe in any strange powers. According to preliminary analysis, there were two reasons why Cong Shun and Tan Lingyin disappeared at the same time: first, they accidentally touched some organ; second, Cong Shun had a different heart...
Tang Tianyuan took the torch, walked back to the tomb, and saw wet footprints on the bluestone brick floor. When they came down from above, the soles of their feet were dry, and it was impossible to leave such footprints. It was only possible when they walked back from the river.
In other words, they took the initiative to walk back here. If Cong Shun saw something unusual and followed up before he could report it, it could be explained. But Tan Lingyin won't, Tan Lingyin will definitely discuss with him first.
The guess in his heart was confirmed, Tang Tianyuan shouted "Cong Shun, come out and talk" to the surrounding, and finally, his eyes stopped at the passage above.
Cong Shun's voice really came from there, "Sir, come up and talk."
Zhao Xiaoliu and others knew that Cong Shun had become a traitor. Cong Shun's martial arts are good and easy-going, so his popularity has always been good. Zhao Xiaoliu and the others regard him as a brother, but they didn't expect... tsk tsk.
Tang Tianyuan hesitated. The entrance of the passage is not big. If Cong Shun is guarding outside, one husband is the guard and ten thousand people are not allowed to open it. If one comes up and cuts one, they all have to finish playing.
But Tan Lingyin is in his hands...
Tang Tianyuan said, "I want to confirm Master Tan's safety first."
After a while, Tan Lingyin's anxious voice came from above, "Sir, don't come out—"
He stopped when he said that, probably because Cong Shun covered his mouth.
Tang Tianyuan was very angry, and he had to pretend to be calm on the surface. He sighed and asked, "What do you want?"
Cong Shun sneered, "Your Excellency is a smart person, why do you say stupid things? You should know exactly what I want."
Tang Tianyuan asked, "Are you from Zong Yinglin?"
He did not answer.
"These are not important anymore," Tang Tianyuan said. "Even if you get the money, I'm just afraid that you will earn it with your life, but spend it with your life."
"My lord, what do you want to say about 'Zong Yinglin wants to silence', I know better than you."
"No, I mean, you're going to die, right now."
Cong Shun was silent for a while. He couldn't figure out where the man was going.
Tang Tianyuan explained, "You already said, I'm a smart person, so do you think a smart person would bring so many people to find treasure? No one knows how much gold is in this water. You should know very well. ."
Cong Shun couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean?"
"Yesterday, I gave all of you medicine. Those who take this medicine will have seizures in about twelve hours. The exact time of the seizures varies slightly depending on the person's constitution. If you don't take the antidote, you will die. This medicine is made by a famous medical secret method, but it is not incomprehensible, but it takes a month at the earliest from gathering the medicinal materials to refining the antidote. Even the golden body of Da Luo can't wait. At that time."
Tan Lingyin: "Sir, good job!"
As soon as I said this, my mouth was covered again.
Let's not talk about Cong Shun, just talk about the people in the tomb, who were already scared and pale, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Sir, spare your life, spare your life!"
"Get up, if you are loyal, I will not treat you badly. Not only will you save your life, but you will also be promoted and rich."
Several people hurriedly swore their loyalty.
Mr. Feng Shui came over and said, "Sir, have I, have I eaten too?"
Tang Tianyuan nodded, "You are different from them, you ate this morning."
Mr. Feng Shui suddenly felt a stomachache, "Sir! No, I have a seizure, give me the antidote!"
"Are you sure? If it's not a drug attack, taking the antidote is taking the poison."
Mr. Feng Shui touched his belly, "Uh... I'm much better. I think I ate something bad, so I don't rush to take the antidote."
Cong Shun was still thinking about whether he should believe Tang Tianyuan's words.
He finally believed because Tang Tianyuan's motives were irrefutable. As long as you are a little bit conscientious, you can't take so many people who are not yet fully trusted, unless you can hold the other party's life and death authority.
So Cong Shun said, "Sir, if you don't want to see Master Tan dying, please give me the antidote quickly."
Tang Tianyuan said coldly, "If you dare to hurt her in the slightest, just wait to die without a burial place."
Negotiations are deadlocked, and no one wants to give in first. Tang Tianyuan was afraid of giving the antidote to Cong Shun and would not let him go, but Cong Shun was afraid that he would not get the antidote if he let him go.
After a while, Tang Tianyuan said, "Why don't we talk? What benefits did Zong Yinglin promise you?"
Cong Shun's voice was a little gloomy, "My parents, wife and children are in Chizhou Mansion."
It turned out that family members were being held hostage. Hearing this, Tan Lingyin hated Cong Shun at first, but suddenly felt a little sympathetic to him. Her own brother has also been held hostage, and the feeling is very flustered, she has to give what the other party wants.
Tang Tianyuan felt sorry for Cong Shun. Yes, his family was kidnapped, but that can't be a reason for him to kidnap others.
However, if Cong Shun helped Zong Yinglin because his family was kidnapped, it would be better to pay for it than gold. Tang Tianyuan said, "This is easy to handle. When I arrest Zong Yinglin, he will not be able to protect himself when he crosses the river, and naturally he has no intention of embarrassing your family."
This tone is a bit too loud, a small county magistrate, dare to arrest the prefect? Cong Shun naturally didn't believe it.
Tang Tianyuan is disdainful, "I still think I'm just an ordinary county magistrate? If Zong Yinglin loses, it's a matter of picking people's eyes. One is blinder than the other."
Cong Shun was ridiculed. Instead of being depressed, it sparked a glimmer of hope. In fact, he had long suspected that the county magistrate had a lot of background. One reason is that this person borrowed troops from Anqing overnight, and until now, Zong Yinglin has not made a fuss about what happened. The second reason was that some time ago, the county magistrate's friend came. In those days, Cong Shun could feel that there were many more martial arts masters in the whole county, which was unfathomable.
So Cong Shun asked, "Then who are you?"
"This official, Tang Tianyuan, has been ordered to investigate and deal with the case of stolen gold mining in Tongling County. I am an imperial commissioner, not to mention the prefect of Chizhou. Even the political envoy must be dispatched by me."
Cong Shun's first reaction was that this person was talking nonsense. Although he hadn't seen Tang Tianyuan with his own eyes, he also knew that Tang Tianyuan, as an imperial envoy, once appeared in Tongling and scolded the county magistrate... Ah, no, why did "Tang Tianyuan" appear so coincidentally? And after showing that side, I never heard of the news of the imperial envoy, which is very unusual. If you put it another way, that imperial envoy is fake, and the real imperial envoy has been staying in Tongling to make unannounced visits... Then all the problems can be explained.
Although he was a little shaken, Cong Shun had always been on guard against Magistrate Tang and didn't want to believe him because of one-sided words.
Tang Tianyuan untied the shackles and took out a heavy object. He knew that it was the right choice to bring this seal out. At first, I thought that because I was going to the cemetery, no one knew what would happen. In case of chaos, this thing might be able to calm down the scene. It really comes in handy now.
"I'm going to throw something up, you catch it, and if you break it, you'll lose your life!"
Cong Shun didn't know what medicine he sold in the gourd, but he caught it in time when he saw something wrapped in cloth flying out of the passage.
Opening it up, the two most obvious features are: rectangle and purple ink pad.
He couldn't help but believe it. Cong Shun put away the things and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will give it to Zong Yinglin?"
"Whatever."
Tang Tianyuan didn't believe that Cong Shun would be so brainless, nor did he believe he had the courage. Dare to calculate the imperial envoy, that is, directly smack the emperor's dragon face, or the whole family will be taken away. escape? Where to flee? There is no king in the world, even if you escape to the Persian country, it is not safe - Daqi has official and business contacts with many small countries, and it is really a handy thing to cut you down and take it back to the emperor.
Therefore, there is a world of difference between such a charge and just being coerced by the prefect to become an accomplice. How to choose, intellectually handicapped will not hesitate.
Cong by the way, "I just want my family to be safe and never retaliate."
"It's easy to handle, I don't need you to do anything, just let Master Tan go. If you're not at ease, you can go back to Chizhou and tell Zong Yinglin that I've become suspicious of you and won't let you intervene in this matter. ."
"Okay, come up."
"You come down first."
Cong obediently came down by the way. After coming down, Tang Tianyuan and the others went up. Mr. Feng Shui and others followed behind. Everyone first knew that they had been poisoned, and then they learned that the person in front of them was an imperial envoy. The repeated shocks caused their legs to weaken, and they walked tremblingly. Cong Shun postponed.
When Tang Tianyuan went up, he saw Tan Lingyin jumping towards him with a smile.
Her hands and feet are tied, she can't walk, she can only jump around, like a rabbit.
Tang Tianyuan caught her and put her in his arms.
Tan Lingyin blushed, "I asked you to untie me..."
"Cough." Tang Tianyuan couldn't help himself, but now he knew he was embarrassed, and there were so many people present.
He untied her, and the group exited the tomb.
The people watching outside didn't know what was going on below. When he saw the faces of the people who came out were different, he was also muttering in his heart, thinking that nothing good had happened to him. Anyway, it would be better to stay outside...
Tang Tianyuan asked people to move the big stone back and bury it. So even if someone thinks about it, it will take a long time. After he took the crowd back, he did three things.
First, the Tianmu Mountain was closed for the same reason as before. It caused evil and killed people, and people were not allowed to pass. Anyway, everyone believes it.
Second, let someone bring his handwritten letter to Anqing Mansion to find Zheng Shaofeng, and Zheng Shaofeng will know what to do after reading the letter.
Third, stay in Tusitang and give out the antidote, whoever has a stomachache will give it to whoever.
Tan Lingyin thought Tang Tianyuan was joking at first, but he didn't expect him to be poisoned. She was a little puzzled, "When did you get off?"
Tang Tianyuan didn't answer, but asked her, "Do you think I'm too vicious?"
"No," Tan Lingyin shook her head, "you don't mean to hurt anyone." Anyone who sees so much money will be shaken. Zhao Xiaoliu and the others only knew that there was gold at the bottom of the water. What if they knew that there was at least 100,000 taels of gold at the bottom of the water? How long has everyone known each other, and it's not a deadly friendship, so you always have to be fully prepared.
Some things, soft-hearted people can't be cruel to do, but they are not qualified to accuse those who dare to be cruel. If the result is right or wrong, soft-hearted people may not be true and kind, and cruel-hearted people may not be really cruel.
