Chapter 271: The Man Lying in the Coffin
Liao Qingshan paused.
He looked at Qingxiao.
Qingxiao took out the token given by Yu Lingye at the right time.
Looking at Liao Qingshan's calm expression, she added, "One thousand taels?"
Liao Qingshan: "It's just a butcher knife, it won't cost more than a thousand taels."
"Thirty cents."
Liao Qingshan added charcoal to the furnace and said, "Come here and choose a style."
Liao Qingshan had no legs, so he supported himself with his hands and walked into the inner room.
Qingxiao followed.
The house was very simple, just a shed built casually.
But it was very clean inside.
Liao Qingshan took out a piece of paper and said, "All the styles you want are on it."
Qingxiao opened the paper.
There was a line of words written on the paper.
After seeing the line of words clearly, Qingxiao frowned.
"Let's choose the first style." Qing Xiao left Liao Qingshan thirty coins, "as soon as possible."
Liao Qingshan: "Not quickly, come and pick it up in three days."
"Okay, I will be here on time three days from now." Qingxiao raised his hand, and a cluster of flames appeared on his fingers, which quickly burned the paper.
Liao Qingshan was stunned.
He thought he was seeing things.
How can flames appear on human fingers?
He must have been too tired from working as a blacksmith and his eyesight became blurry.
After Qingxiao left.
Liao Qingshan unfolded a blueprint and forged a new butcher knife based on the first one.
The other side.
Qingxiao looked very solemn.
She realized something was wrong with Feiyang County the moment she entered it.
There's something really, really wrong about this place.
The note Liao Qingshan gave her had a location written on it.
Below the location, there is a line of small words, which roughly means that there are many masters around that place, and it is very difficult to break in, so you must be careful.
Qingxiao didn't take it to heart.
If she has eaten her fill and has plenty of energy, no matter how dangerous the situation, she won't be able to escape.
She didn't go directly to the location.
It was getting dark.
She found a deserted place, disguised herself as a young man, and rented the brothel of Wang He's old lover.
The other side.
Wang He bought Hu Hu Wan at a high price and came to the agreed location.
Qingxiao used up his energy to electrocute Wanghe.
Wang He's eyes were hazy, and he mistook her for his old lover in Hualou. He carried her into the house with ease. After a while, strange noises came from the house.
Qingxiao hid far away.
She was afraid that she would accidentally see something she shouldn't see and affect her appetite.
When she first started fishing for the little fish Wang He, she thought that if Wang He was a gentleman, she would give him some compensation after taking advantage of him.
Okay.
After observing for a few days, she found that Wang He deceived his superiors and subordinates, glared at ordinary people, beat them up, fawned on the rich and powerful, was willing to be their dog, and had a strong addiction to sex, going to brothels almost every day.
All in all, he's a complete jerk.
Qingxiao was not shy about taking advantage of it.
After dealing with Wang He, Qingxiao took advantage of the night to break into the place given by Liao Qingshan.
Just as Liao Qingshan said, there were at least dozens of masters lurking around the yard.
It's quite interesting to see a small courtyard, only a few hundred square meters, surrounded by so many masters.
To a normal person, the yard was surrounded like an iron barrel.
For Qingxiao, breaking into the courtyard was not a difficult task.
The next moment, Qingxiao entered the courtyard under the expert's nose.
She walked into the only room.
The room was empty, with nothing in it except a huge, pitch-black coffin.
The coffin is twice as big as the other coffins.
Qingxiao opened the coffin.
Fortunately, there was no mechanism in the coffin, so she was not attacked and opened the coffin lid easily.
In the coffin, there was a person lying, a man who looked like a dead person.
Judging from the man's appearance, he was about thirty years old, with skin so white that it had no blood color. One could only vaguely see that the man had a good appearance.
Qingxiao wanted to observe it a little longer.
whoosh!
A hidden weapon came straight towards Qingxiao's vital point.
Qingxiao dodged subconsciously.
Whoosh whoosh!
Countless hidden weapons came from all directions.
Qingxiao grabbed a hidden weapon at random.
Each hidden weapon is filled with a deadly poison that kills instantly upon contact with blood.
She was not afraid of the poison, but she had already been exposed, and staying would only alert the enemy.
Qingxiao didn't bother to check the coffin and the man inside it who looked neither human nor ghost, and evacuated as quickly as possible.
Those masters didn't expect that anyone could escape from their encirclement.
"Chase, make sure to catch him."
"Any break-in must be reported."
"Close the city gates. Only those allowed to enter Feiyang County are allowed to leave."
"Report... the person has been lost."
"waste!"
"What are you standing there for? Keep chasing him. I'll find him alive or dead."
Only after Qingxiao got rid of the expert who was tracking her did she have time to observe the hidden weapon.
There were no markings on the hidden weapon and its shape was very ordinary.
But from the appearance of the hidden weapons, it is impossible to tell the identities of those masters.
So many masters were guarding a coffin, in which lay a man whose life or death was unknown.
The man whose life or death was unknown was not the person Yu Lingye was looking for.
It's really weird.
Wait until the third day.
Qingxiao went to Ping'an Lane again and found Liao Qingshan as promised.
"I saw the coffin." Qingxiao went straight to the point.
Liao Qingshan was still working on the ironwork, not even looking up: "Do you remember what that person looks like?"
Of course Qingxiao remembered it.
She is a bionic person with countless abilities that are unimaginable to people of this era.
"Send his portrait to Prince Ling. Once he sees it, he'll know what happened here," Liao Qingshan said. "Don't use carrier pigeons or hawks. They can't fly out. It's best to go to the neighboring city of Shen."
"But you've alarmed those people. It might be difficult to leave the city, so be careful."
Qingxiao hugged his arms.
She came to find Yu Lingye, not to investigate the case.
"Where are Zhou Ying and Pei Xun?"
Liao Qingshan paused.
"Yu Lingye asked me to find someone," Qing Xiao said, "I need to know whether they are dead or alive."
Liao Qingshan stopped forging iron.
He looked at Qingxiao seriously: "Didn't Yu Changdong tell you?"
Qing Xiao sneered: "Yu Changdong was almost beaten to death. I tried to find a way to go in and see him, but he only told me to come to you."
"I thought you would give me clues about those people, but you led me to that shabby yard and forced me to look at a black coffin."
Liao Qingshan was silent for a while.
He seemed to be hesitating.
Qing Xiao clenched his fists: "Don't tell me they are dead."
This is her first job!
It's almost like an internship period.
If something unexpected happens during the internship, won’t her unlimited meals be gone?
Liao Qingshan: "They are not dead."
"but……"
Qing Xiao was disgusted by the nagging and nagging: "Just say whatever you want to say. Whether they are dead or not, I need an explanation."
Liao Qingshan said, "Zhou Ying and the people in the stronghold were either captured or infected with the plague and driven to the plague area. In the plague area, even if they didn't die, they were in great danger."
"As for Pei Xun and the others, I don't know their whereabouts."
"Since Yu Changdong asked you to come to me, it means they value the person in the coffin more..."
