Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 370 Blasting Xiao Cui

The five of them turned their heads together and saw that the somewhat scary Dali Temple Shaoqing pulled out a long sword and hit the wall several times. No one knew how the long sword was made, but it was extremely hard. Even the stone slabs were chipped off and several pieces fell into the water, picking up black splashes.

Seeing this, they didn't dare to delay any longer and walked in the rising water, one foot deep and one foot shallow. Gao Heng felt that it was a bit strenuous and muttered anxiously, "The water is rising too fast. We should hurry up. If we are too late, I am afraid those four brothers will drown."

Who wants to see the King of Hell while still alive?

After waiting for so much effort for rescue and having hope of survival, how can I seek justice if I drown here?

After Cui Bianxu chopped a few times, he found two gaps on his beloved knife. He felt so distressed that he simply put the knife away, raised his right leg, and kicked the wall slowly and steadily.

How strong is that force?

Anyway, Zhang Youliu and the others who had worked together to drag the two people back felt that if that kick was on them, they would probably be kicked to death with one kick.

They stared blankly at the violent Cui Bianxu who kicked them twice, and when they saw that he was about to kick them for the third time, they came to their senses and ran away in a hurry.

Bodhisattva, why is he like this?

They had to be quick. If they were slow and made Cui Shaoqing unhappy, they wouldn't be able to withstand the kick he would receive!

So, why did Cui Bianxu's back muscles ache so frequently? Was it a sign of a warped humanity or moral decay?

neither!

It’s because of those four half-dead guys and those five useless guys!

He opened the mechanism by force, but the water outlet that Wu Sanniang left behind to drown them before she left also became larger due to the impact of the water flow in the process.

Gao Heng's feeling was not wrong. The water inflow speed was not just a little bit faster, but was getting faster and faster as time went by.

By the time they were about to leave, the water had almost reached their waists, and it was very difficult for them to just stand at this depth.

The water surface was not calm due to the constant inflow of water. They also had to support the unconscious person, so they had to hold on to each other and cling to the wall.

Cui Bianxu originally planned to explore the way in front by himself, and let the five of them drag the four people behind. Unfortunately, the passage was tilted upward, and the angle was not too large. Men and women in normal physical condition could crawl inside.

But these five people were weaker than each other and had little strength. They could only pull one person at a time, which meant that he was still needed to help two people.

Things had come to this point, and leaving people here was not Cui Bianxu's style. He simply tied the two people up with clothes, tied the other end to his shoulders, and dragged them out.

When he was almost at the end, he could hear the sound of rushing water. The humidity in the air was very high, and his inner clothes were soaked by the moisture and the accumulated water in the passage beneath him. His breath was filled with the smell of water vapor and mud.

Cui Bianxu instantly guessed why the craftsman died in the Yong'an Canal.

When he got out completely, the scene before him confirmed his judgment.

This is a section of Yong'an Canal between Yankangfang and Huaiyuanfang. Huaiyuanfang in Chang'an is where people with some status or wealthy families live.

Families like this usually have more than one well in their homes and a large number of servants. Naturally, they would not go to the Yong'an Canal to chat and gossip with others.

As for Yankangfang, as mentioned before, the big houses are inhabited by rich people, and the small houses are rented out to businessmen and students. These people will not come here, so the canalside is not as lively as where Jiang Shangxian and the others are.

Perhaps this exit was designed to conceal its presence, as the last small section leads downwards, with less than one-third of the area exposed above the water, and the rest is submerged.

The water level of Yong'an Canal is low right now, so only one-third of it is exposed. If it were spring or summer, it would probably be completely submerged in water. The height of the bank at the exit is only a little over four feet, so it would be no problem for a normal person to crawl out from here and climb ashore.

But the craftsman was already seriously injured and had been crawling hard underground. By the time he reached here, he was already exhausted. He must have accidentally slipped into the water and drowned when he was trying to climb ashore.

...

The little medicine boy, pretending to be mature, imitated his master and stroked his chin, which had not yet grown a single hair. "Master Cui, the poison they were infected with is very strange. Master has not yet found the specific symptoms. It may take some time to find out."

Unless you have a clear idea or grasp of the solution to a difficult and complicated disease,...

It’s hard to say when the result will be found out.

"Wipe faster." Cui Bianxu urged Jian Ming.

It's really annoying that this guy keeps sniffing beside me. He's almost sucking all my wisdom out of the back of my head!

Jian Ming sobbed and said, "Jiulang, I have followed you for fifteen years, and I have never seen you as dirty as you are today..."

"Shut up!"

Cui Bianxu stood up suddenly to interrupt him. He ignored the stinging pain of his scalp being pulled and snatched the cloth from his hand. He wiped his head casually and tied up his half-dry hair. "Go wait for Wang Leisheng outside. Tell me as soon as he comes back!"

He was already upset enough because it was so dirty, and Jian Ming kept complaining, which was so annoying!

Cui Bianxu's annoyance did not disappear after driving the annoying guy away. The arrest of Wu Sanniang and the closure of the God of Wealth Casino were not the end, but the beginning.

According to his and Jiang Shangxian's original judgment, Wu Sanniang must have had a reason to risk returning to Chang'an. Together with Zhou Qiu, she opened a gambling house to make a lot of money. Gamblers who won a lot of money were beaten, while gamblers who lost money borrowed money from the gambling house to continue gambling, further making the God of Wealth Casino a fortune.

They dared to do this under the pressure of Your Majesty. The people behind it are none other than those princes.

He took a deep breath. If possible, he didn't want to be involved in the inheritance issue of the Li family at all.

But it takes so much silver...

According to his future wife, the Li family follows the Xuanwu Gate inheritance system. Xuanwu Gate is a big stage, come if you are brave enough.

hiss....

This is going to cause trouble...

He shook his head, still not wanting to have anything to do with these princes. He might end up covered in shit and not be able to get rid of it.

As for why Wu Sanniang attacked his mother and aunt, Cui Bianxu still hadn't figured it out.

Originally thought that she would find a way to harm Jiang Shangxian, but unexpectedly her target was her own mother and aunt. Cui Bianxu was really confused.

Xiao Cui was actually quite tired. He had not rested since the day before. He had been fighting, rescuing people, and traveling non-stop. He only finally took a breath now. If he had not been as strong as a bull, he would have collapsed long ago.
