Chapter 142: The Dark Room

Du Yu looked at the mess in the house, and it seemed that all the places they could find had been rummaged through by them. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Du Zhen frowned and thought about what kind of person Cao Yin was, speculating on the location where he was most likely to hide the next scroll, and Ye Niang stood beside Du Zhen like a little maid, waiting for the young lady's order.

Cao Ranchu is greedy for money but not lustful, in addition to official affairs, he seems to spend almost all his time on the road to find treasures, whether it is gold, silver, jewelry or ancient books and calligraphy and paintings, just take the treasures, calligraphy and paintings he once gave to Du Huasheng, his taste is very good, not those eyes full of copper coins, some of his collections are even the always picky Du Huasheng has been moved.

Could such a person have a mezzanine inner room in his study because of confidentiality considerations, and in order for himself to be able to see these things he collects from time to time? Or is it a basement in the study? Nothing is impossible for this rich and noble family to do.

Du Yu subconsciously began to compare the size of the space of the house here, wanting to find the strangeness in it.

There was movement outside the door, and the night lady gestured to alert her subordinates.

The door was pushed open, and Lin Banyuan's slender body was extremely vivid against the background of the candlelight.

When Du Yu saw another group of people in black, he was not shocked or jumped, but felt that the person who took the lead was very familiar.

"Who is Your Excellency?" Yeniang asked vigilantly.

As soon as Lin Banyuan came in, he saw Du Xuan surrounded by the group of people, seemingly showing a protective posture, while the half-dead Cao Yin was tied up and thrown aside.

"Why do you want to keep him for tomorrow's meal?" Lin Banyuan looked at Cao Xuan and sneered.

When Du Yu heard this, she thought it was funny, laughing at whether the person opposite was too much in charge, although she also had this kind of idea, but it was better not to give opinions if the friendship was not deep.

Yeniang's face was red for a while, she was naturally not stupid, she knew that keeping this person would only leave trouble, but now she still got nothing, she had to pull someone as a backpad, and whoever she chose for the back was naturally the best person who belonged to the next volume.

Du Yu felt that there was no malice in this group of people who came again, so he walked around the study freely, knocking here and touching there.

Looking at Du Yu who made such a move, Yeniang was also quite surprised, and then suddenly realized that maybe there were other places in this room.

Lin Banyuan looked at Du Yu with appreciation, maybe some people don't understand the Tao among the rich and noble, just take this Yangzhou prefect and this mansion, who would have thought that there is a secret passage under this underground that leads directly to the barren mountains and mountains outside the city.

Since there is such a thing as a secret passage underground, it naturally makes people wonder if there is any dark room or anything like that.

Yeniang recalled what Cao Ranhuang was doing when they just broke into here, there were almost no servants around at that time, and one or two of them were knocked unconscious and knocked down, she was still thinking at that time, this would not be the game that Cao Ranhuang had laid for them, but she had no choice. Entering Cao Yin's study, Cao Yin still sat behind the desk with an obsessive expression, as if he was reminiscing about something.

It wasn't until he found out how they had appeared in his study for a while that he panicked.

Du Zhen here seemed to have noticed something unusual, knocking on a wall where the bookshelf was placed, Du Zhen was a little confused about the doorway, and looked back at the leader.

"Hey, come over here and have a look." Du Yu beckoned to Lin Banyuan.

Lin Banyuan walked over with a smile in his eyes, followed Du Xuan's example, knocked here and there, and soon found something, and turned his head to look at Du Xuan.

"How do you open this?" Du Yu knew that Lin Banyuan understood what she meant.

Lin Banyuan slowly groped for this unusual place, wanting to touch it with his fingers to feel the difference.

Lin Banyuan found a small place, and suddenly pressed it with force, and he pulled Du Yu's wrist and stepped back.

I saw the bookshelves move to both sides, and a black door appeared in front of everyone.
