Episode 23: Fei Tang was kidnapped and Ah He had his tongue cut off
Feitang and Ahe were imprisoned in the dungeon, surrounded by darkness. Although they were angry and shocked by the store owner’s plot, they had already deduced that the mastermind behind the scenes was the Scorpion Eye organization, and most likely came for Ye Liuxi. Just as Feitang told Ah He to learn to be flexible and have a better attitude, he suddenly heard a voice coming from outside. Two people were standing at the end of the stairs, a man and a woman gradually approaching.
Seeing the two men opening the cell door, Feitang intuitively guessed that the other party was Jiang Zhan and Qingzhi. Compared with Ye Liuxi’s valiant and heroic appearance, Qingzhi looked particularly charming. Although he asked a few questions gently, every question had hidden murderous intent, and if he was not careful, he would die without a burial place.
As a result, Feitang had no choice but to answer honestly. Jiang Zhan was obviously a little impatient. In order to save his life, he hurriedly revealed the beast-headed yellow sheep and was willing to exchange his life for this treasure. The crisis in Feitang was temporarily resolved, but Ahe was in danger. Jiang Zhan ordered people to control Ahe and cut off her tongue with his own hands. The scene was horrific.
At the same time, Zhao Guanshou brought several photos to Changdong and others, which showed Fat Tang and Ah He appearing in the antique street. The market is crowded and noisy, making it easy to take secret photos and even easier to be kidnapped silently. Changdong suspects that there is a mole around Zhao Guanshou. Zhao Guanshou suspected two people, Ahe and Li Jinao, but Changdong became Li Jinao’s guarantor and cleared his suspicion.
The news of Feitang’s disappearance made everyone worried. Li Jin’ao was speechless, thinking that Ahe would definitely die if he fell into the hands of Scorpion Eyes. Unexpectedly, Ahe was thrown back by Scorpion Eyes.
A group of people gathered around Ah He and wanted to know what happened. Before Ah He could respond, his expression suddenly changed and he took the initiative to greet Ye Liuxi. His tone became extremely unfamiliar, as if Ah He was repeating someone else’s words, or perhaps It was others who used Ah He to communicate.
Everyone present was shocked. Zhao Guanshou immediately explained that Ahe had been replaced by Jiang Zhan. The so-called substitute tongue is similar to Shuiyan. The person with the master tongue can control Ahe to speak.
Ye Liuxi suddenly understood and asked Jiang Zhan straight to the point about the whereabouts of Feitang. Jiang Zhan asked to exchange Feitang for the animal-headed yellow sheep. Ye Liuxi readily agreed, warning him that he must ensure that Feitang remained unscathed.
Then Ye Liuxi asked Ding Liu and Gao Shen to send Ahe to rest first. Changdong was too lazy to deal with Zhao Guanshou anymore. He directly opened the skylight and spoke frankly, revealing that he had sent people to squat in the deserted village. He also welcomed Ye Liuxi with great fanfare and gave her a test. The wordless sign obviously has his own agenda, I hope he can be honest.
Zhao Guanshou pursed his lips tightly, and after a moment of silence, he admitted that he wanted to use Ye Liuxi to eradicate Jiang Zhan, take over Scorpion Eye, and formally incorporate him into the Yulin Guard to eliminate an invisible disaster. However, Ye Liuxi did not express her attitude, and Zhao Guanshou was not in a hurry for her to give an answer. He bluntly said that cooperation would be mutually beneficial.
After Zhao Guanshou left, Changdong and Ye Liuxi asked Li Jin’ao about the “substitute tongue”, and Li Jin’ao told what he knew without reservation. According to the records of “Bo Gu Yao Jia”, the tongue has a main tongue and an auxiliary tongue. The main tongue can be used directly.
The auxiliary tongue needs to be placed in the person’s mouth before it can speak. It usually repeats other people’s words. In addition, Li Jinao also revealed tongue cutting techniques and more information about tongue substitution.
Changdong suddenly thought of something and immediately went to find Ah He to reveal that before her tongue was cut out by Jiang Zhan, she had actually had her tongue cut out once by Yu Linwei. Sure enough, Ahe admitted with red eyes that she had been selected as a substitute agent since she was a child, responsible for inquiring and delivering news. At Changdong’s request, she described in detail their encounter in the dungeon.
Ye Liuxi went to Li Jin’ao to inquire about Jiang Zhan, and unexpectedly learned that he had been a slave in a gold mine. Anyone who entered there had to have his ankles branded. It happened that Ye Liuxi’s ankles also had a mark that was so blurry that they could not be seen clearly. imprint. That night, Ye Liuxi was lying in Changdong’s arms, and both of them were a little worried.
Based on the clues he had, Changdong overthrew Ye Liuxi’s identity again. Jiang Zhan wanted to find the Scorpion Eye organization to compete with the Yulin Guards. The only bargaining chip was to control the scarce resources of Black Rock City, which required Ye Liuxi’s help. Therefore, if Ye Liuxi and Jiang Zhan form an alliance to jointly find Scorpion Eye, they will probably be Zhao Guanshou’s biggest worry.
