Chapter 57, Du Xiaoqing
Xue saw that his perception was now more than ordinary people, and he could hear it clearly just a little sound.
Even in quiet conditions, he can hear a person's breath clearly.
He slowly walked towards the wooden cabinet, squatted down to look, and saw a young girl hidden under the wooden cabinet.
The girl was fifteen or sixteen years old, her appearance was pure and lovely, and her big wet eyes were full of fear, which made people feel pity.
She seemed to have been hiding under the cupboard for a long time, her lips were a little chapped because she hadn't drunk water for too long, and when she saw that she was discovered, her delicate body immediately trembled.
Xue saw that there was no food or water on his body, and out of kindness, he showed a smile and comforted.
"You wait for me for a moment. ”
After saying that, he quietly went out and went to another room to find some snacks and a pot of tea.
When he returned to the house, the girl obviously didn't trust Xue Jian, and actually hid under the bed from under the cabinet.
Xue Jian knew that she was hiding there as soon as she entered the house, but she didn't dismantle the other party, but put the snacks and tea next to the bed, ready to leave.
Just as he was about to go out, a faint voice sounded behind him.
"Can you take me with you?"
Xue Jian turned around and saw that the girl had crawled out from under the bed, and her delicate and beautiful pink dress was covered with dust and looked dirty.
Xue Jian asked with a smile.
"You're not afraid I'm here to get you?"
The girl hesitated, looked at the water and food next to her, and shook her head.
"You're a good guy. ”
Xue Jian smiled dumbly, I don't know if this little girl will say that he is a good person after knowing that she is the "culprit" who caused his family's ruin?
"Do you see my official uniform? I'm not a hero. ”
The girl looked at his official uniform a few times, and suddenly knelt down and sobbed.
"My lord, take me with me, I can be your maid and slave, I ...... I don't want to die. ”
To tell the truth, Xue Jian was indeed moved by compassion, otherwise he would not have brought her water and food, but it was a great trouble to bring a person from the criminal courtier's family.
But if she doesn't care about it, this girl will definitely be arrested, and even if she won't be beheaded, she will be sent to exile, and a beautiful girl like her will definitely end up worse than others.
Xue Jian thought about it, walked over and sat at the table, and said.
"You eat something first, I'll ask you something, and if you're right, I can consider getting you out. ”
The girl grabbed the last straw, nodded hurriedly, and then picked up the snack by the bed and ate it.
Xue saw that she was not in a hurry and waited until she had almost eaten, and then asked.
"What's your name, and what is your identity?"
The girl thought about it, but decided to reply truthfully.
"Back to my lord, my name is Du Xiaoqing, and Du Guofu is my father. ”
Du Guofu is the owner of this family, and he is now imprisoned in the prison.
Xue Jian had already guessed that this girl might be the daughter of the Du family, after all, she could tell it by looking at her clothes.
If she lied, Xue Jian would have left directly without saying a word, but now, since this little girl was smart enough, he could save her life.
"I ask you, do you know where your father's most important thing is hidden?"
In fact, Xue Jian wanted to ask about gold and silver treasures, but it was a bit bad to say this, so he changed his words.
There was a thoughtful look in the girl's eyes, and she tried to think for a while before she spoke.
"I remembered that my dad had a secret room, and although I hadn't been there, I had secretly heard my dad tell my mother once. ”
Xue Jian's eyes lit up, if there is a secret room, there must be good things, and maybe it hasn't been discovered by the Royal Forest Army yet.
"Let's go, take me to find it. ”
Xue Jian got up and said.
Then under his leadership, the girl mustered up her courage and followed him out of the house secretly.
Now, all the Kingsguards were attracted by a collapsed house in the backyard, and the captain of the Guards in charge of the search stood by the rubble, looking puzzled.
How could this good house suddenly collapse, and it collapsed, and it collapsed, there were no tiles on the side, and the beams and pillars were gone.
There is something strange about it.
Suddenly, a Royal Forester reported.
"Lord Duwei, there is a path in front, and the jade floor tiles on the road have been pried away, and the stone lampposts in this courtyard have not been moved by anyone. ”
As soon as these words came out, the Imperial Forest Army present was stunned for a moment.
Who the hell is so idle, the gold and silver treasures don't move, they run to pry the floor tiles, and carry away such a big stone lamppost.
The most important thing is that someone ran away with such a big thing, and they didn't even see it.
The lieutenant was also puzzled, so he could only ignore it for the time being, and said loudly.
"Don't worry about it for now, everyone hurry up, search out all the valuable money here, you can't let go of a brick and tile, and when you go back, the commander will be rewarded." ”
Hundreds of Imperial Guards immediately dispersed, carrying out carpet raids in this backyard.
All the money and treasures were taken away, and when they encountered the fish that slipped through the net of the Du family, they were immediately arrested, escorted to the front yard and imprisoned, waiting for disposal.
Xue Jian, under the guidance of the girl Du Xiaoqing, carefully avoided all the Royal Forest Army, and soon came to a back garden in the deepest part of the backyard.
This is Du Guofu's favorite place to come, usually in his spare time, he fishes and plays chess here, leisurely.
Du Xiaoqing's face was difficult.
"My lord, I only know that the secret room is hidden in this back garden, but I don't know the specific entrance. ”
Xue Jian frowned, this back garden is not big, there is a small pond on the left, a flower garden on the right, and there is only a pavilion in the middle.
He looked everywhere, and there was nothing special about the pond and the flower garden, except that the gazebo looked a little learned.
The Bafang Corner Pavilion is a bit like the Bamen Bagua in Feng Shui Yin and Yang.
Xue Jian didn't understand feng shui, he just looked at it, he walked into the pavilion, walked back and forth twice, and suddenly raised his foot hard and chopped it on the ground.
Under this chop, the floor exploded directly, which startled Du Xiaoqing.
The floor beneath the gazebo is impressively hollow, with a stone staircase leading to the ground.
If you don't understand the feng shui mechanism, then you can directly break it with violence.
Xue saw that he stepped on the stone steps first and went to the ground, Du Xiaoqing glanced around, and hurriedly followed.
It was pitch black in the underground passage, and he could barely see his five fingers, but Xue saw that his eyesight was excellent and he could see at night.
Du Xiaoqing stumbled under her feet and almost rolled down, Xue Jian hurriedly helped her up and said.
"Hold on to my cuffs. ”
In the dark, Du Xiaoqing's face was slightly red, and he hummed lightly, took the initiative to step forward, and grabbed his sleeve.
After walking for a while, the two of them reached the underground secret room.
Xue Jian lit the oil lamps around him, and what he saw was not gold and silver treasures, but a huge dry pool.
In the center of the pool, there was a branch that had almost withered, and at the top of the branch was a half-open red "rose".
said it was a rose, but Xue Jian looked very similar, but in fact it was not, the appearance of the flower was very weird, bright red as blood.
Just when the two of them lit the oil lamp and saw the flower, the bright red half-bloomed flower suddenly bloomed completely, and a seed shot out of the bud, avoiding Xue Jian, and flew into Du Xiaoqing's mouth.
