The construction of the secret room is nothing more than behind the bookshelf, behind the cabinet, under the bed, and under the floor. However, this is the territory of the young master of the Jiangzuo League. I am afraid that such a common method will not be used. That is too childish, and it will be harmful to talk about it. The prestige of the Jiangzuo League.
But for the sake of caution, Uncle Jiang and Jiang Li divided their labors and cooperated, one checking inside the house and the other outside.
Ye Jiayao found something to do and felt much more at ease. When you have no way to change the status quo, you can only adapt and find a way slowly. There is no point in rushing anyway. This is her attitude towards things. If you can't get over the mountain, I will get over it. , if you can’t get through, just stay there.
Bang, the iron door was opened, Ye Jiayao didn't even raise her head, she was busy writing, muttering: "You came just in time, the paper is running out, your master is too stingy, can't you give me a few more? He It’s not like you can’t afford it?”
"Second Young Mistress..."
The visitor's voice of surprise sounded familiar. Ye Jiayao looked up in shock. She blinked and couldn't believe the scene in front of her. Was it because she had been locked up for too long and had an illusion, because she always fantasized about it? One day, at a certain moment, a familiar face will rush into this door and say to her... Ye Jinxuan, come with me...
Seeing the Second Young Mistress dumbfounded, Jiang Li was excited and sad at the same time, and said urgently: "Second Young Mistress, Master Hou, Prince Jing and others are outside now, we are here to rescue you."
Ye Jiayao waved to him: "Come here."
Jiang Li was confused, but he still walked over obediently.
Ye Jiayao reached out and pinched his arm: "Does it hurt?"
Jiang Li became more and more confused and said honestly: "It doesn't hurt very much."
Ye Jiayao pinched her hard again: "Does it hurt?"
Now Jiang Li took a breath: "It hurts."
Ye Jiayao smiled slowly and patted Jiang Li's shoulder vigorously: "Ha, if it hurts, it's true. Hi! Ah Li, I didn't expect you to come to save me! You guys are quite fast, I I thought it would take a long time!”
Jiang Li looked at the Second Young Mistress as if she was crazy. He wanted to prove whether it was true. Why didn't he pinch himself
Ye Jiayao happily organized the recipes and said to Jiang Li who was still in a daze: "Let's go, I don't want to stay here for a moment."
Damn, how many days have you been detained for? Seven days or eight days? When she gets out, she's going to blow this place up with explosives.
There was a team of officers and soldiers guarding each door outside. Seeing Ye Jiayao coming out, everyone showed a smile of victory.
Ye Jiayao said boldly: "Thank you all, big brothers. I'll treat you to a drink later." Then he remembered that it was still the period of national mourning and banquets were prohibited, so he added: "Anyway, you are indispensable for this meal."
Everyone laughed. After all, she was from the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion. She was very generous. However, the Second Young Mistress was not as spirited as a prisoner imprisoned in a dungeon. If it had been any other woman, she would not be able to cry at this moment. of
Jiang Li led the way and asked Ye Jiayao to follow his footsteps, telling her that there was a trap here.
Passing through the long and narrow passage, followed by dozens of steps, and climbing up the steps, the light came in. The warm sunlight formed a light pillar in the passage, and the free dust in the light pillar was clearly visible.
After walking out of the entrance of the secret room, Ye Jiayao discovered that the entrance was actually built in the waterside pavilion in the center of the pool, and the secret room was under the pool. This is too mysterious. Who is the owner of this place
Forget it, don’t worry about asking these questions now. Ye Jiayao stepped out of the waterside pavilion and stood on the winding covered bridge. She held her head high and bathed in the sunshine. She took a deep breath of the slightly cold air. For the first time, she felt that the sunshine was full of life. The sight of the sun again. It feels really good.
Suddenly, Ye Jiayao thought of something and said to Jiang Li: "There is a passage next to the secret room, which is blocked by bricks. I think there is something strange there. Go and have a look."
Jiang Li nodded and took a few people down to the secret room again.
In the shop, everyone was waiting anxiously. Finally, someone came to report: "The secret room has been found and someone has found it."
Xiao Jing was overjoyed. Thank God, he found it.
Shi Qingyun's face changed slightly, and he was horrified. Such a hidden tunnel could be found. Is it because the Jiang Zuo Alliance people are too useless, or are the Helian Palace and Jing'an Hou Palace powerful
Shi Qingyun gave Steward Bai a faint look. Steward Bai's mouth twitched slightly and lowered his eyelids to indicate that he had received it.
If the matter comes to light, Datonghui will definitely give an explanation. Someone needs to come forward to take the blame. The young master is the future leader of the Jiangzuo Alliance. How can he get involved here for such a trivial matter? Therefore, it is most appropriate for him to take the blame.
The Marquis was always arrogant, but now that the evidence was conclusive, he immediately shouted loudly: "Young man named Zuo? Aren't you very arrogant? Are you very arrogant? Do you want to ask me for an explanation? Now you should give me a good explanation."
Shi Qingyun gritted his teeth and said with an innocent face: "Master Hou, this is really weird. I don't know what's going on. I never knew that there is a secret room here."
Xiao Jing was furious: "You are so clean. You found the person in Datonghui. How can you get away with it without knowing anything?"
"I really don't know. Please wait a moment for the Marquis and Prince Jing. I will find out the truth and give an explanation to the Marquis and Prince Jing." Shi Qingyun said seriously.
Xia Chunfeng snorted coldly: "Shopkeeper Zuo, you can really pretend. Don't think that we don't know your details."
Shi Qingyun said calmly: "Young Master is joking, I'm just a businessman with my duty. It's useless to say anything now. Please ask the three of you to give me an explanation in the next hour. If I can't find out the truth, , I am willing to be punished myself.”
Mr. Hou narrowed his eyes to a slit, his eyes were as sharp as an arrow, and he already understood Shi Qingyun's intention: "Isn't it just to give you time to find a scapegoat?"
"Master Hou insists on saying this, and I have no choice but to do it. The matter happened in Datonghui. As the shopkeeper of Datonghui, I can't escape the involvement. But I am indeed very innocent. I have never met the second young lady of the Hou Mansion, so I hid her in the house." What are you doing in the house? There is no reason!" Shi Qingyun argued.
While talking, Ye Jiayao came out surrounded by officers and soldiers.
"Yao Yao..."
"Second sister-in-law..."
Chunfeng and Xiaojing rushed forward to greet her. Seeing that Ye Jiayao was not injured or anything, they finally felt relieved after having been hanging for many days.
Ye Jiayao had already asked the officers and soldiers along the way. It turned out that she was imprisoned in Datonghui. That was really strange. She only had some business dealings with Datonghui and had no grudges. She was not Datonghui's biggest customer. Why did the owner tie her up? It doesn’t make sense!
She recognized the fat man. The steward here had spoken to her several times. Who was the other handsome young man
Regardless of this, Ye Jiayao smiled slightly at Xiaojing and Chunfeng, walked up to the Marquis, and bowed: "My daughter-in-law has made my father worried."
Seeing that Ye Jiayao was fine, Mr. Hou was determined: "It's fine. You go home first. The family is waiting for the news."
Ye Jiayao wanted to stay and see what happened, but the Marquis gave the order in front of so many people, so naturally she had to obey, so she went back first with Uncle Jiang.
As soon as Ye Jiayao left, the previous topic continued. Shi Qingyun strongly demanded to be given a chance to clear himself, otherwise he would not accept it.
The Marquis sneered, let's see how this kid can justify himself.
Upon hearing that Mr. Hou agreed to let Shi Qingyun investigate the case, shopkeeper Bai broke out in cold sweat on his fat, round face. Suddenly, he knelt down with a thud: "Master Hou, Your Majesty, if you plead guilty, it's all a small thing." Yes, the younger one is guilty. Mr. Marquis, please arrest the younger one..."
The unexpected confession left everyone stunned.
Shi Qingyun's face was ashen and he said with indignation: "I knew it was you who did this."
Steward Bai couldn't help but sweat, begging the Marquis to catch him soon.
Xiao Jing questioned: "You jumped out in time. Do you want to take the blame for your master?"
Manager Bai said with sincerity: "This matter can no longer be concealed. This house was bought by Xiao Xiao, and the secret room was secretly built by Xiao Xiao. The shopkeeper can guess that Xiao Xiao's head fell into the hands of the shopkeeper." Here, it is better to fall into the hands of the Marquis. Don’t be deceived by the shopkeeper’s elegant appearance. In fact, he is a ruthless person. If he is in the hands of the shopkeeper, life would be worse than death... "
Shi Qingyun was very angry: "Bai Wanli, I, Zuo Qingyun, will treat you well."
The surname Shi is his nature, but to the outside world, he calls himself Zuo, which is Zuo from Jiangzuo.
There was hatred in Guanshi Bai's eyes: "You treat me well, but my son is in your hands. I have endured it for so many years just to avenge my son."
Shi Qingyun said: "You know it was an accident."
Manager Bai became excited: "I don't care if it was an accident or not, that is my son, my only son."
The two quarreled.
At this time, Jiang Li walked in and whispered in the ear of the Marquis. The Marquis's face changed drastically, his eyes widened, and he shouted: "What's going on with the weapons in the secret room?"
Manager Bai said in frustration: "This is also one of the small plans. First, I will tie up the second young lady and lock her in a secret room. When the time is right, I will bring you here. When the time comes, you will be able to discover the weapons hidden in the secret passage. When the time comes, You can convict Zuo Qingyun of kidnapping, hijacking, and hiding equipment. Unfortunately, you guys discovered the young one before he was fully prepared. If the Marquis does not agree to Zuo Qingyun to let him investigate the case today, he will be arrested directly. , or kill with one sword, a small revenge can be avenged."
As he spoke, he laughed twice, and the laughter was weird and scary.
After laughing, he cried again: "It's a pity that God doesn't have eyes!"
Shi Qingyun sighed and said with great regret: "Bai Wanli, I didn't expect you hate me so much. Now that things have happened, I can't save you."
"You two, master and servant, have done enough acting! Weapons were found in the secret room. This matter is not trivial. Shi Qingyun, you cannot absolve yourself of the blame." Xiao Jing said solemnly.
The Marquis ignored the situation and said: "Arrest the person first and then talk about it."
If the relationship between Zuo Qingyun and King Yu can be found out, then King Yu will not be able to escape the relationship and will be taken back for interrogation slowly.
