Chapter 13: Reluctantly resolved
If the trap is on the ground and the floor is wooden, it is impossible to move the trap without leaving a trace. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xi Yun lay on the ground inch by inch and began to grope.
Sure enough, the hard work paid off, and she found a problem on the base of a bookshelf.
The base is cylindrical, and there are traces of slight friction where it comes into contact with the ground, and you can't find it at all if you don't look closely.
Xi Yun was a little excited.
It's just that how do you open this mechanism? It depends on the situation that it should be rotated.
She held the base and turned it counterclockwise, but she couldn't turn it at all. Turn clockwise again, and turn!
Immediately, a wooden plank against the wall slowly sank and moved, revealing an entrance that only allowed one person to enter and exit.
Xi Yun suppressed the urge to take a peek and turned off the machine again.
Now is not the time, the red flocculent is outside, and it is not good to be found by her, so she decides to come back in the evening.
At night, Xi Yun turned off the lights early and went to sleep, waited for the sound of the watch to come to the third watch, quietly got up from the bed, wrapped the night pearl in a black cloth and tiptoed out of the door.
All the way to the study, the door was locked, but she had the key. After opening the lock and bolting the door after entering, Xi Yun walked to the bookshelf where the mechanism was set up excitedly, opened the mechanism, and entered the secret room.
There is a night pearl, and the environment in the secret room is clear at a glance.
This is also the layout of the study.
It's just that now the bookshelves are all some yamen files.
These files are placed one by one according to the year and month, which is convenient for Xi Yun to find.
Xi Yun found the file from two years ago and began to look through it.
I didn't expect her to turn it over, but she turned out something amazing. In the file on the bookshelf two years ago, in addition to the case file about Su Youxiang's family, there was actually a deed of sale between Su Qingli and Su Qingming, so Xi Mingzhuang really knew the identities of their sister and brother!
Then it is certainly not a coincidence that Su Qingli's sister and brother will appear in Xi's mansion.
It's just that why did Xi Mingzhuang do this?
Xi Yun opened the case file of Su Youxiang's house, which listed the ironclad evidence of Su Youxiang's corruption and bribery, in addition to these, there were also several transcribed account books, Xi Yun couldn't read the account books, so he put them aside.
The case file records the life experience of Su Youxiang, he is not an ordinary person, but a side branch of the Su family of the immortal cultivator, but he does not have a spiritual root.
It turns out that Su Qingli and Su Qingming are still descendants of the immortal cultivation family, no wonder they have spiritual roots.
Su Tianming did not have a spiritual root, but his son Su Yuansheng did, in order to allow Su Yuansheng to cultivate immortals and revive the glory of the Su family, he began to embezzle and accept bribes.
This happened two years ago, and two years ago was the time of the change of the throne of the Xuanyuan royal family. Xi Mingzhuang was reused by the current Emperor Xuanyuan two years ago, while Su Youxiang was demoted for corruption and bribery.
Xi Yun deeply suspected that Su Youxiang's demotion was related to the change of the throne, and he may have been on the wrong side, so as a chaotic minister and thief, he was taken out to kill chickens and monkeys.
Xi Yun sighed.
Su Qingli and Su Qingming were able to live, probably because Xi Mingzhuang saw that they were young and innocent, and he was moved by compassion.
Su Yuansheng is the only son of Su Youxiang and the father of Su Qingli and Su Qingming. Su Qingli is a concubine, and Su Qingming is a concubine. Su Yuansheng was born with Liu's family, and died of dystocia after giving birth to Su Qingming. Su Yuansheng only has one concubine, that is, the one who gave birth to Su Qingli, known as Aunt Rui, after Su Yuansheng was given death, he was also martyred.
It's just that since Su Yuansheng can cultivate immortals, how could he be given to death so easily, which makes people wonder. Unless there are immortal cultivators within the Xuanyuan royal family, but as we all know, once a member of the Xuanyuan royal family chooses to cultivate immortals, they will be expelled from the royal family, and immortal cultivators cannot be officials. Su Yuansheng is an immortal cultivator, how can he not even be able to defeat ordinary people.
Maybe the Xuanyuan royal family really has some god-given power to bless it.
Xi Yun couldn't figure it out.
I returned to my room with a heavy heart, tossing and turning and unable to sleep.
She remembered that Xi's mansion was extinguished in a fire, and this thing was not done by Su Qingli, if Su Qingli did not lie, then who would have done it, she didn't believe in any heavenly punishment, Xi Mingzhuang is an ordinary person, what can he do that is angry and resentful. This must be man-made.
So could it be related to the Su Fu case?
Why did Xi Mingzhuang save Su Qingli's sisters and brothers, could it be that Xi's mansion was destroyed and Xi Mingzhuang saved them?
The more I thought about it, the more I had a headache, and Xi Yun was very sad.
She really wanted to ask Xi Mingzhuang what he had done, but would he tell her?
Her impression of Xi Mingzhuang is not known at all except for the loving and somewhat stern father figure in the memory of the original owner.
The description of Xi Mingzhuang in the original book is a typical scumbag who does not distinguish between right and wrong, listens to and believes partially, expels the poor and wronged Aunt Mingyue's mother and son from Xi's mansion, and leaves him to fend for himself.
But this doesn't quite match the image in the memory of the original owner.
Alas!
If only she had the slaves of the original owner in her hands now, she would just let them investigate this matter, and she would save this thought.
And now she doesn't have anyone available.
Qingzhi is a person from the Wang family, and she will definitely tell the Wang family whatever she asks her to do, and this person will not be needed at all. Hongxu is a person from Xi Mingzhuang, if it is about Aunt Mingyue, she may be able to use it. Su Qingli can also be used, because of the two deeds of sale, she should also be a person from Xi Mingzhuang, but the Su family has an enmity with the Xi family, and she is not a person from Xi Mingzhuang, and now that Su Qingming is in her hands, for Su Qingming, she should also listen to her words.
Xi Yun racked her brains, but unfortunately, because of the movement that day, Su Qingli must have been guarded by the Wang family, and it must not be so easy for her to find out what news.
The day after tomorrow is the banquet of the City Lord's Mansion, and tomorrow the Wang family will definitely see her.
Xi Yun threw away all the mess in her head, planning to get a good night's sleep first.
The next day, Xi Yun didn't get up until three days old.
When she finished grooming and finished breakfast, the Wang family came to invite her.
This is the first time Xi Yun has seen Wang since she was reborn, and as in her memory, Wang is very kind to her, with a smile on her face, and she is very caring and caring when she comes up. The original owner enjoyed Wang's care very much, but Xi Yun was not the original owner, she only felt that Wang's appearance gave her goosebumps.
The Wang family talked to her with coaxing, the original owner didn't know his life experience, he always regarded the Wang family as her own mother, and he also trusted the Wang family very much, and the Wang family basically wouldn't refuse what she asked her to do. As long as the Wang family coaxes her, she will do it obediently.
The original owner didn't go out in the past, and he didn't understand those etiquette rules, and the Wang family wouldn't rush to make her unhappy. But the Wang family loves face, and in the past, the original owner didn't go out, and since she was going to attend the banquet of the City Lord's Mansion the day after tomorrow, she would definitely not allow Xi Yun to embarrass her.
In fact, Hongxu had already told her about this, and also told her about the things to pay attention to, but Xi Yun didn't think so.
