Chapter 127 [God's Fist] (1)
Luo Lie didn't force himself, so he asked Zhang Changgong to settle the wages for them and let the migrant workers leave on their own.
After seeing off the last migrant worker, Luo Lie turned around and returned to the accident site, and saw that the blind man and Tiewa were still searching for something on the pile of ruins.
Luo Lie was about to call them out for dinner, after all, they had to work hard for this matter all day, and everyone didn't even have lunch. But he heard Tiewa say, "Finish it!" He found a broken rope from the ruins. These scaffoldings were tied firmly with ropes. Every day, Tiewa was responsible for routine inspections. After the scaffolding collapsed, many ropes broke, but the clues could be seen from the breaks, and cracks were completely different.
The broken part of the rope that Tiewa found was very special. The big half was neat and the other half was uneven. The neat half was obviously cut open by a sharp blade. He sent the rope to Luo Lie: "Uncle Luo, look!"
Luo Lie took the rope and looked in front of him. In fact, after the accident today, he thought that the whole thing was a bit strange. They took sufficient measures to ensure safety and checked the connections of the scaffolding many times every day. Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened. The rope found by Tiewa proved that the accident that happened today was extremely likely to be artificial.
They hired only ten migrant workers in total, and it should not be difficult to find out the one who secretly tampered with it.
The blind man said angrily: "If you investigate one by one, you will definitely find the culprit."
Arnold came up and said, "Call the police and ask the police to arrest them and interrogate them carefully. I don't believe it, but I can't find the result."
The blind man deeply agreed and nodded and said, "These unruly people are deliberately colluding to blackmail us. This matter cannot be easily forgotten."
Zhang Changgong turned his eyes to Luo Lie, "What do you think?" When he asked, the blind man and Arnold stopped talking at the same time. Although they usually talked lively, Luo Lie always made the final decision.
Luo Lie pondered for a moment and said, "Forget it."
"Forget it?" The blind man said in surprise. Arnold looked puzzled. After all, because of today's incident, they compensated 200 yuan, which is not counting the medical expenses of the two injured.
Luo Lie said: "Forget it, even if he finds the tampered person, he may not be the culprit."
Zhang Changgong remembered the conversation with Luo Lie this morning, and wondered in his heart whether the big thing Luo Lie said was about to happen.
Luo Lie said: "Perhaps someone will give us a warning in this way. Everyone should be more careful from today."
Zhang Changgong said, "Eat, let's go to eat."
Luo Lie asked Tiewa to go out to a nearby restaurant to call some wine and food. He did not explain to several people about the transaction between him and Ye Qinghong. After today's incident, Luo Lie realized that he should disclose some information appropriately to these brothers and not let them continue to be kept in the dark.
"What? What did you say?" The blind man's small eyes shone under the lamp. Arnold, who was already drunk, suddenly opened his narrow dark blue eyes. Both of them were jealous of money. Hearing Luo Lie said that there was a royal secret hidden under the ruins of the Old Summer Palace, he suddenly felt energetic.
Arnold complained, "I didn't say it earlier. I thought you wouldn't build this dilapidated temple for no reason. I actually set my sights on the garden behind."
The blind man still had some understanding of the Old Summer Palace. He was very happy when he heard it, but after the joy, he quickly calmed down. He put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "Luo Lie, is this reliable? The British and French coalition forces snatched it, the Eight-Nation Alliance snatched it, and even if there were treasures, he burned it. Not to mention that when the Boxer Rebellion was at its most violent, he searched for the things that could be moved and sold. I think this matter is quite mysterious."
Luo Lie said: "When the British and French coalition forces burned, killed and looted, Guanyuan Minister Wen Feng threw himself into Fuhai, so many secrets of the garden were buried with Wen Feng's suicide. It is not ruled out that there was a royal secret hidden under the Old Summer Palace."
The blind man said, "If there were secret treasures, the royal family would not know? They would have dug it out for use in the late Qing Dynasty."
Luo Liedao: "Prince Rui Yixun discovered the secret treasure and did not make it public."
When the blind man heard this, he immediately understood the cause of the incident. He sighed and said, "Did Ye Qinghong tell you? Luo Lie, Luo Lie, you don't know who Ye Qinghong is? It's not the first time to avenge her. In the Liu Mansion in Yingkou, we should use our attention. If it weren't for the help of the sparrow, we would have left there. Later, we went to Pale Mountain to find the Qibao Wind-Hail Tower Talisman for her, but what happened? Her real purpose was to kill Xiao Tianxing, we were just chess pieces she used to divert attention."
The blind man paused for a moment and said, "It's only three things. You have been teased by Ye Qinghong twice. Are you not a little enlightened yet and are you ready to be cheated by her for the third time?"
Arnold looked at the blind man and Luo Lie, picked up his glass and drank wine and said, "Although the blind man has no knowledge, I will stand on his side this time. Beauty is a disaster, and heroes are sad for beauty. You shouldn't be confused by beauty, right?"
Tiewa listened, but knew that he could not speak for such an occasion, so he threw a piece of gnashed bone to An Datou. An Datou was so happy that his nose was sticking out and he chewed it in big mouthfuls.
Zhang Changgong is the oldest and the most mature and persistent person. Although he can’t read a few big words, he can consider the problem more thoughtful than the blind man and Arnold. He whispered: “I believe that Luo Lie will naturally make sense for him to do this.”
Luo Lie said: "I owe her a favor, and she helped me rescue Fang Kewen's family from Tianjin."
After learning this reason, the blind man stopped talking. Being grateful is the duty of human beings. Ye Qinghong did help Luo Lie a lot in the business of Fang Kewen's family, so he made a request to ask Luo Lie to help. Of course, Luo Lie would not refuse.
The blind man sighed and said, "Forget it, I plan to stay in Peiping for a while anyway." He stood up and walked outside.
Luo Lie said: "What are you doing?"
"pee!"
Arnold immediately resonated: "I'll go too."
Looking at the two living treasures that left, Luo Lie could only smile helplessly.
Zhang Changgong said: "Ye Qinghong just asked us to rebuild the temple here?"
Luo Lie said: "She is a very scheming person. Building Zhengjue Temple is just a superficial skill. Those who know the inside story will definitely think that we use the construction of the temple as a guise, and our real intention is to come and find treasures."
Zhang Changgong said: "Isn't that there is no silver here for three hundred taels?"
Luo Lie nodded and said, "That is, to make the most obvious ones, we must create illusions and use this matter to attract insiders."
Zhang Changgong frowned and said, "I understand a little, today's accident may have caused it."
The blind man and Arnold stood shoulder to shoulder, peeding at the same time towards the pond in front of him. After all, Arnold peed farther. The blind man looked at Arnold's crotch, then thrust his waist forward, exerting force, and a sharp water line passed through the front, successfully surpassing Arnold. He grinned at Arnold contemptuously and challengingly, thinking that your foreign gun cannon is not as useful as my earth cannon.
Arnold was aroused by this guy and also imitated him to lean back. He exerted force but couldn't hold it in and fart.
The blind man laughed so much that his face was flushed with embarrassment. It was so embarrassing. But in addition to the blind man's laughter, another laugh seemed to be heard from a distance. Arnold looked around, and there was no one else's figure.
The blind man also heard laughter. This laughter was definitely not his echo, nor even belonged to any of them. The blind man stopped laughing and looked at the distance where the sound was coming from. He had a very strong vision in the dark night and saw a white shadow suddenly entering a big tree.
The blind man was shocked and sweated all over, and pounded his elbows and said, "Did you see it?"
Arnold shook his head in a daze. He was not as strong as the blind man.
The blind man said again: "Have you heard it just now?"
Arnold nodded and said in a trembling voice: "It seems that someone is laughing..."
Both of them saw each other's fear from each other's eyes, and at the same time they lifted up their pants, turned around and ran into the room.
Although Luo Lie is a pastor, he does not believe in the existence of ghosts and gods. After the blind man and Arnold said his previous experiences vividly, Luo Lie believed that the laughter they heard should be humans. After all, after the destruction of the Old Summer Palace, there were many farmers around here, and perhaps someone happened to appear in the garden for a walk at night.
Luo Lie asked them to keep their hearts in their stomachs. It was getting late. We suggested that everyone go back to their rooms to rest and wait until dawn tomorrow if there is anything.
At midnight, everything was quiet, and Luo Lie wrote a letter under the lamp. The letter was sent to Yan Tianxin who was far away from Gansu. After getting Yan Tianxin's address from Wu Jie, Luo Lie thought about writing a letter to her, but even though he had thousands of words in his heart, he didn't know what to write every time he picked up his pen.
After writing a few sentences, he felt it was inappropriate, so he rolled the letter paper into a ball and threw it into the wastebasket. Luo Lie leaned on the back of the chair and rubbed his brows. It was late at night, but his mind was awake like never before. Recently, he could only sleep peacefully with his help when he went to Wu Jie. Wu Jie said it right. Although he could help him improve the symptoms of insomnia, he could not eradicate the root cause. Despite this, Luo Lie's energy has also recovered a lot recently.
Just as Luo Lie was thinking, he suddenly heard the sound of ghosts crying and howling from outside. At first, it was faintly vague, but later the sound went from far to near.
