Chapter 625: Blocking someone’s money is like killing their parents!
When the white phosphorus on the chain bridge began to burn, the Zheng family members who were hiding on the other side of the chain bridge were finally able to see the costumes of Jia Dongming and others in the light of the flames.
When the Zheng family members saw that the people on the other side were not fooled, and that these people were not the Li family they were waiting for, but a group of police officers in uniform, expressions of fear immediately appeared on their faces, and they quickly ran towards the depths of the tomb.
At this time, Zheng Ming had just broken a new mechanism and was about to lead the children of the Zheng family into the tomb. As a result, at this moment, he saw his nephew running towards here with a serious face. He immediately asked him: "Zheng Guang! Why did you come back just now? Did the Li family fall into the trap I set?"
The young man named Zheng Guang, upon hearing Zheng Ming's question, thought of what he saw at the iron chain bridge, and said to Zheng Ming in panic, "Uncle Jiu! I didn't see anyone from the Li family at the Naihe Bridge, but a group of police officers in uniform and carrying weapons."
"What! Zheng Guang, what did you say? Are you sure the people you saw were police officers and not members of the Li family?" When Zheng Ming heard what Zheng Guang had introduced, he also showed a shocked expression on his face and quickly confirmed the news with Zheng Guang.
When Zheng Guang heard Zheng Ming's question, he thought of what he saw at the iron chain bridge, nodded very affirmatively, and replied: "Uncle Jiu! I assure our Zheng ancestors that I was not mistaken. The group of people who entered the Samsara Hall were not members of the Li family, but a group of armed police officers."
Zheng Guang paused for a moment and continued, "In addition, there are experts among the police, and they did not fall into the trap you set on the Naihe Bridge, Uncle Jiu."
Zheng Ming originally thought that the people who would follow him into the mountains, apart from the Li family members who were plotting against him, would at most be the local robbers from Fushan Town. However, what he could never have imagined was that he did not wait for the Li family members, nor for the local robbers from Fushan Town, but instead for a group of police officers armed with live ammunition.
Upon learning that the police had entered the mausoleum, Zheng Ming's face suddenly showed a solemn expression, and he murmured to himself: "It seems that those tomb robbers and Li family members in Fushan Town should have been arrested by the police. The police dared to send people into the mausoleum, obviously they came for the treasure of King Chuang."
Thinking of the Chuang Wang treasure, Zheng Ming's face first showed an unwilling expression, and then a sinister expression, and continued to mutter to himself: "For the Chuang Wang treasure, I did not hesitate to bear the infamy of betraying my teacher and ancestors, and even gave up my wife and daughter. Now, when I saw that the Chuang Wang treasure was about to belong to our Zheng family, a group of police officers showed up halfway."
"As the old saying goes, blocking someone's money is like killing their parents. Since these police officers want the treasure I found with great difficulty, don't blame me for being rude to you."
The flames on the suspension bridge burned for twenty to thirty minutes before slowly going out. At the same time, the wooden boards originally laid on the suspension bridge were ignited by the flames and eventually fell into the water under the bridge.
Jia Dongming looked at the flames that were about to go out, and reminded everyone present: "Deputy Captain Yang! Comrades, this white phosphorus is a poisonous substance. When you cross the bridge later, you must remember to wear gloves. At the same time, you must be careful with your feet to avoid falling into the water under the bridge. I suspect there is something wrong with the water. If you accidentally fall in, I'm afraid there will be no hope of survival."
Previously, Jia Dongming was busy breaking the trap on the chain bridge and did not conduct reconnaissance on the other side of the river, which resulted in him not realizing that their whereabouts had been discovered by Zheng Ming.
After the flames on the bridge were completely extinguished, Jia Dongming took out a pair of gloves from his backpack, put them on, and took the lead to walk onto the iron chain bridge, stepping on the iron chain on the iron chain bridge, and walked carefully towards the other side of the river. Because there were so many people, the iron chain bridge was shaking violently. In order to avoid accidents, everyone decided to cross the bridge in batches. As a result, it took more than half an hour for everyone to reach the other side of the river.
When Jia Dongming and the others reached the other side of the river, they looked towards a cave in front of them. At the same time, they activated their Eagle Eye skill to search for traces of the cave entrance.
It would have been better if Jia Dongming hadn't looked. He found the problem as soon as he saw it, because he found a set of footprints at the entrance of the cave, which were obviously left behind just now. This meant that when they were about to cross the bridge, someone on the other side of the bridge was monitoring their every move.
This discovery made Jia Dongming frown immediately, and he said to Yang Kaihua with a serious face: "Deputy Captain Yang! It seems that Zheng Ming is far more thoughtful than we thought."
When Yang Kaihua heard what Jia Dongming said, he showed a puzzled expression on his face and asked Jia Dongming curiously: "Director Jia! Why do you suddenly have such an idea?"
When Jia Dongming heard Yang Kaihua's question, he used the flashlight to shine on the footprints left by Zheng Guang and introduced to Yang Kaihua: "Deputy Captain Yang! Look at this set of footprints on the ground. They are obviously left just now. This is enough to prove that Zheng Ming arranged people in advance to watch the other side of the river to determine whether the Li family fell into the trap he set."
"So I'm 100% sure! Zheng Ming should have known that we entered the treasure house. Based on the traps that Zheng Ming set on the iron chain bridge, I think he will continue to set various traps in the tomb passage behind to prevent us from entering the treasure house."
"Originally, we were thinking of using Zheng Ming's gold-touching skills to help us break the mechanisms in the treasure house and recover the treasure of King Chuang at the lowest cost. Now it seems that in addition to dealing with the existing mechanisms, we also have to be careful of the traps set by Zheng Ming for us."
When everyone present heard the conversation between Jia Dongming and Yang Kaihua and thought of the trap that Zheng Ming had set on the chain bridge, solemn expressions appeared on their faces.
Although Jia Dongming also felt that this matter was rather tricky, he was not worried at all. With his Eagle Eye skill, he could see through everything in the tomb passage, no matter it was the original mechanism in the tomb passage or the trap set by Zheng Ming behind. In front of the Eagle Eye skill, nothing could escape his sight.
Seeing the solemn expressions on everyone's faces, Jia Dongming said to everyone present: "Comrades! I will lead the way in a moment, and you will follow behind. Also, you must remember one thing, no matter what you see in the tomb passage, you must not reach out and touch it."
