"Stop! This is a private house, you... you can't go in!"
In the west of Taiyuan City, outside the main entrance of Kangqu Mansion, the concierge saw that Feng Baotou and a group of government servants were about to break into the mansion menacingly, and he quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"Hmph! You're blind! Didn't you see that we are from the governor's office? The governor's office is handling the case, and the rest are waiting to retreat~!"
Before Feng Baotou could speak, a government servant next to him stepped forward and spoke sternly.
"Pei Xing, Duan Wei, you lead people to guard the front and back gates of Kang Mansion. No one is allowed to let go without my order! The rest of the people, follow me in and arrest Kang Qu~!"
Feng Captou didn't want to waste time here. He waved his hands to the left and right and ordered.
"Yes~!"
All the government officials understood, and one group of people rushed to the back door of Kang's mansion, while another group of people stayed where they were, and the last group of people, led by Feng Baotou, pushed the concierge aside and forced their way in!
Walking into Kang's Mansion, the servants in the mansion were so frightened that they retreated to both sides. At this time, a servant hurriedly ran towards the backyard.
Feng Baotou's eyes lit up and he gave chase. He said to the officials behind him: "Follow him~!"
"Yes~!"
Under the leadership of the young man, everyone quickly arrived at the backyard of Kang Mansion.
"Master, it's not good! It's not good! The officers and soldiers have entered the house~! You... you...!"
There are three small buildings in the backyard of Kang's house. When Feng Patou and others came in, he saw the boy running and shouting.
But halfway through the shouting, the boy seemed to realize that something was wrong. He turned around and looked at Feng Captou and other government officials with fear on their faces!
"Take it~!"
Feng Baotou waved his hand, and two government officials immediately rushed forward and pushed the boy to the ground.
"Say! Where is your master?"
Feng Baotou strode forward, pulled out the saber from his waist with a "clang" sound, put it on the young man's neck, and shouted bluntly.
"I... I don't know! You... who are you? Why did you force your way into the house?"
The boy was trembling with fright at Feng Baotou's ferocious appearance, but he still did not tell Kang Qu's hiding place.
"Hmph! If you don't eat the toast, you'll have to drink it as a fine. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. If you don't say anything, I'll chop you with a knife~!"
When Feng Baotou heard this, he was furious and kicked the young man to the ground. Then he strode forward and with a "swish" sound, he slashed towards the young man's neck with his knife. The young man was immediately frightened. He couldn't help but close his eyes, but Feng Capt's knife stopped three inches away from his neck!
After all, he is an officer and soldier, not a bandit. He cannot kill innocent people indiscriminately!
Even so, the young boy was so frightened that he almost lost his soul. He quickly said: "I... I... I said! My master is in the middle house. I sent someone there this morning as a caretaker. Tea~!”
Capt. Feng immediately put away his sword, pointed at the house in the middle, and ordered to the left and right: "Search for me~!"
"Yes~!"
All the government officials swarmed up and ran towards the house in the middle of the backyard.
In the secret room.
The moment the boy entered the backyard, Kang Qu in the secret room sat up in shock. He looked at the door of the secret room and wondered: "What's the sound outside? Butler, go and have a look~!"
"Yes~!"
The old housekeeper standing next to Kang Qu took the order and left.
"Master! Master! It's not good! It's not good! There seem to be officers and soldiers outside!"
After a while, the old housekeeper came back in a panic and said while running.
"What~? Officers and soldiers? Why are the officers and soldiers here?"
Kang Qu's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and the rest of the people in the secret room also stood up. Kang Songping then said:
"Is it possible that the government already knows about our plan? So..."
"No! Impossible~!"
Kang Qu shook his head subconsciously and said with a look of certainty: "We are the only people who know about this matter. Even those who went to incite the people to cause trouble don't know our identity. How could the government know?"
When everyone saw that Kang Qu was so confident, they couldn't help but feel relieved, but when they thought that there were officers and soldiers outside, they suddenly became panicked again:
"Brother Kang Qu, it's not important whether the government knows about our plan. What's important is, what should we do now? If the officers and soldiers find out that we are all gathered here, we won't be able to explain it even if we have ten mouths~! "
"Yes! Brother Kang Qu! What should we do now~?"
Kang Qu was actually panicking in his heart, but he knew that panicking at this time would only cause confusion and would be of no use in solving the problem. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down:
"Don't panic, everyone! This secret room is extremely secret. Only Kang and my old housekeeper know about this secret room in the entire Kang family. Even my wife doesn't know about it! The officers and soldiers coming here may just be an accident. Wait for them When you can't find us after searching all over Kang Mansion, you will naturally leave~!"
The secret room they are currently in is located underground in the middle of the backyard, and the entrance to the secret room is hidden behind the bookshelf in the study. It can be said to be quite secretive and difficult for ordinary people to detect!
Hearing this, the restless people felt a little relieved. After all, the entrance to Kang's secret room was very secret. They had already felt it when they came in before. If ordinary people had never been there, it would be impossible to discover it!
Outside the secret room, the government officials searched all the rooms, but could not find any trace of Kang Qu. Not only did they not find Kang Qu, they did not even find a single person in the house!
"Report~!"
Outside the house, Capt. Feng was entangled with Xu Xiuhe, Mrs. Kang Qu, who had come after hearing the news. A servant ran out, bowed and clasped his fists and said, "Capt. Feng, there is no one in the house!"
Feng Baotou frowned, first glanced at the young man from Kang's house, then looked at Xu Xiuhe, and asked in a deep voice: "Mrs. Kang, where is your master? The governor has something to ask him, you If you know something but fail to report it, or if you know something and conceal it, you will be harming him!"
Xu Xiuhe's eyes turned and Fu Shen said: "Feng Captou, my master went out early in the morning. As for where he went, he didn't tell me. If Feng Captou wants to find my master, he should go to the city to look for him. Why? Search my house with great fanfare?"
"Hmph~! Going out? But why did he just say that your master entered this house early in the morning~?"
Feng Baotou's eyes were as bright as lightning, and he naturally noticed the flicker in Xu Xiuhe's eyes. He shouted in a deep voice: "Kang Qu instigated others to incite civil unrest and disrupt the public order in Taiyuan City. If you deliberately cover it up, not only will you suffer, but your natal family will also suffer." The Xu family will also suffer! You have to think carefully!"
Although Kang Qu was from the Kang state, Xu Xiuhe was born and raised in Taiyuan. Her father was a squire from Taiyuan and had considerable wealth.
Hearing this, Xu Xiuhe's eyes flashed with struggle. She gritted her teeth and said, "My master really went out early in the morning. As for what Capt. Sun said about inciting civil unrest and disturbing public order, I don't know anything about it." Love, but my master must be unjust!"
Marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog. At the critical moment, Xu Xiuhe still chose to side with Kang Qu!
"Hmph! You are so stubborn~!"
Feng Baotou snorted angrily. He pondered for a moment and then ordered the government servant in front of him: "Search! Keep searching for me! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you still have to find Kang Qu!"
His intuition told him that the boy in the Kang Mansion did not lie to him before. After all, he put a knife on the boy's neck at that time. It is impossible for a person to lie in the crisis of death! Kang Qu must still be in this house!
"Yes~!"
