Chapter Forty-Six: The Descendants of the Pit Master

When they arrived at Yin Zhengzhong's mansion, it was already in the west, like a slanting sun stained with residual blood, glowing red. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The trees were illuminated red, the heavens were reflected red, and the faces of men were dyed red.

Wang Mengning took Xiao Mei'er, Scholar, Wangchen, and Qin'er to the gate of Yin Zhengzhong's mansion and kicked open the vermilion door.

The nest in the hands of the housekeeper guarding the door inside was frightened, and he saw the big black dog that came out of nowhere and ran out of the door.

He swallowed his saliva, only to feel that the person in front of him who had a good skin was not good, especially the woman who was in the lead, with apricot eyes wide open, looking at him with a fierce expression, seeing that his heart was rippling, and at this moment he just wanted to turn into a puddle of mud with her, you have me, I have you.

There was also the woman in the red dress, with willow eyebrows lightly raised, a pair of peach blossom eyes glancing at him as if they were interested in him, and the waist was so slender and slender that it seemed to break if she held it.

There is also the girl dressed as a maid, with creamy skin and ruddy complexion, and she is very good at running a house at a glance, the key is to know that she can have a child at a glance.

As for the two men...... One has a childish face, and it is estimated that it has not grown yet. Another scholar was dressed as a pale scholar with a poor and sour face. Forget it, generally people who don't look as handsome and healthy as him, he won't take a second look.

His gaze kept wandering over Wang Mengning and the three of them, and he saw that Wang Mengning and his party were uncomfortable. So much so that when the housekeeper of their house rushed over with a group of guards carrying hoes, iron catalpa and other farm tools, he was still immersed in his own world and did not notice it.

The housekeeper of Shangshu Mansion was an old man over half a hundred years old, chubby, and kind-eyed, although a pair of eyes stared at them, he couldn't make people feel frightened at all, but felt that it was an old naughty grandfather who was messing with him.

Regarding the personnel allocation of their Shangshu Mansion, Wang Mengning can only say that she admires it so much. and idiot guards, kind housekeeper grandfathers, and a guard who looks like they have just returned from farming in the fields......

It seemed that the five of them were too aggressive, even though she was just a fox and a fake tiger. What's more, although there are only five of them on the surface, there are more than 100 people in ambush secretly, so what else are they afraid of?

Now that she has thrown off a few streets of people in terms of momentum, what is she afraid of?

Wang Mengning immediately straightened her chest, cleared her throat with a dry cough, clasped her hands around her chest, and was as able to endure as an upstart, "We are here to ask for someone from you, your Lord Shangshu has arrested a friend of mine, as long as you hand it over obediently, we will leave immediately, and we will guarantee that we will not hurt you at all." ”

The housekeeper looked at Wang Mengning with a confused expression, he turned to look at the group of people behind him, "Has the master been back?" ”

The men carried farm tools, their heads shaking like rattles, "The master has not been back since he went out at noon yesterday." ”

Now Wang Mengning and they are also puzzled, haven't they come back? There are only two situations, one is that Yin Zhengzhong took people to other places, and the other is that the group of people in front of him are pretending to be stupid and deliberately acting for them.

If it's the latter...... Wang Mengning smiled wickedly, "Don't tell the truth, right?" It seems that I won't let them give you some color to see, you won't cry when you don't see the coffin. ”

The housekeeper looked at her as if she really wanted to do something with them, so he sat on the ground in fright, clenched his fists and begged for mercy: "The woman is angry, in fact, the master went out early yesterday morning, and he hasn't come back yet." ”

"What?" Before Wang Mengning could answer, the housekeeper grandfather on the side intercepted the words, "The master told me the night before yesterday that he was going out finally, and it turned out that he went out early in the morning." ”

The family nodded hurriedly, as if they didn't believe it, "It's true, Manager Yin, the master went out shortly after dawn yesterday, and he didn't wear court clothes yet, and he didn't know what he was going to do." ”

Steward Yin threw the small hoe in his hand on the ground, "Where will the old man go?" ”

The person in the back interjected: "Something can't be wrong, right?" ”

The housekeeper shook his head, "No, didn't you hear this young lady just say that the old man arrested her friend, and if something happens, it should be this young lady's friend." ”

Speaking of this, he walked forward quickly and grabbed Wang Mengning's hand, "Girl, is the friend you are talking about a man or a woman?" ”

Wang Mengning looked at the hand he was holding, but he didn't reject it at all. Although they planned to break in and threaten them at first, it seems that the worried look on the housekeeper's grandfather's face is real. It's like her grandfather is worried about his missing granddaughter, which makes her feel good.

"Grandpa, my friend who was arrested by Master Shangshu is a woman. I don't know where she angered Lord Shangshu, and I don't know where she is at the moment, so I guess it's too bad luck. ”

Speaking of red sleeves, Wang Mengning was full of worries.

The worry on Steward Yin's face was no less than hers, "Oh, this is bad, a girl's family has been missing for a day and a night, who knows what terrible things will happen, you have to find her quickly." ”

Xiao Mei'er looked at this housekeeper grandfather well, and her eyes were a little softer when she looked at him, with a little coquettish flavor in her tone, "But, now I'm here to find someone." Grandpa housekeeper, tell us honestly, is that friend of ours here? ”

The housekeeper was also so anxious that he patted his thigh, "It's really not here, I'm a housekeeper, if a girl is caught, will I still not know?" ”

A housekeeper behind him suddenly thought of something, walked up and said, "Manager Yin, when I was cleaning the backyard a few days ago, I overheard the master talking to a person. That person didn't look like us from the Central Plains, because it was in Jia City, and I wondered if it would be the old man and a few foreign merchants talking about some business, so I didn't pay much attention. But now that I think about it, they seem to have said something...... I don't know exactly what kind of stone prison it is, but I don't remember exactly what it said that I wouldn't let anyone go......"

Wang Mengning didn't know it, but when the four people behind her heard the words "stone prison", they were obviously frightened, and they all gasped involuntarily.

The stone prison is in the rivers and lakes, but it is a miserable existence, and few people who enter the stone prison can come out alive. Even the heroes of the rivers and lakes who are famous for their martial arts, no matter how they go to the stone prison, they have to take half their lives.

As soon as the family finished speaking, an aunt carrying a vegetable basket walked out of the back, it seemed that she had just come back from shopping for vegetables outside, she walked up to Wang Mengning, patted Steward Yin and said: "I also remember, a while ago, the old man came back drunk, I ......"

The people behind were suddenly interested, and asked in unison: "How did the master treat you?" There was inexplicable excitement in his tone.

The aunt gave them a blank look, "It's not a proper shape, I mean, when I washed the old man's clothes, I saw a piece of paper in his clothes, which was a map, and it was the cemetery outside the western suburbs." You all know that cemetery, it's the cemetery of the old man and his family. ”

Everyone immediately reacted, "Oh, you mean that cemetery, we went there to sweep the grave during Qingming last year." ”

"I remember, I've been there too."

"And me, and me, and I've been there a few times."

“……”

Wang Mengning looked at this group of people with a headache, and couldn't help but mourn silently for Yin Zhengzhong, when he met such a group of family servants, he didn't know if it was his luck or his sorrow. In its current form, it should be regarded as his sorrow, right?

The servants of other people's families are tight-lipped about everything about their masters, and even if they know something, they will say that they don't know, which is why she brought so many people. As it seems now, there is no need at all, she alone is enough.

And the servants of Yin Zhengzhong's family have well explained to the world what it means to know everything and say everything.

Yin Zhengzhong, Yin Zhengzhong, why did you end up with such a group of subordinates?

In fact, Yin Zhengzhong is also very innocent, he has always felt that he will keep the secret hard, and no one else will know except him.

But who knows, day and night, it is difficult to prevent thieves, and in the end they will be pitted by their own people.

"This aunt, you go on." Wang Mengning was not interested in knowing which of them had been to the so-called cemetery, what she cared about was where Red Sleeves was arrested by them.

The aunt saw that everyone was quiet, and then she continued: "Then, I found a very unusual place on the map of the cemetery. It was in the small forest behind the cemetery, about a hundred steps away from the cemetery, that the old man drew a big red dot with a red pen, and when I was about to take a closer look, the old man suddenly woke up, grabbed the drawings, and scolded me. Fortunately, he was drunk that day and woke up the next morning with nothing to remember. ”

The aunt recalled that night, and still had palpitations.

After Steward Yin confirmed what they said again, he turned to Wang Mengning and said, "That's probably it, girl, it is estimated that your friend was taken to that place by the master." Without further ado, I'll have someone prepare the car and go over to look for it together, you don't have to worry, your friend should be fine. ”

After saying that, he trotted with a few strong men to the back to prepare the car.

Wang Mengning looked at the scholar and said, "Quick, tell Duan Chenjing and let him go to the western suburbs to join us, and the red sleeves will be locked up there nine times out of ten." ”

The eagle had just gone out and came back, and Wang Mengning couldn't help but sigh: "So fast? ”

Forget the dust said: "It is estimated that the Lord and they rushed back." ”

Otherwise, no matter how fast the eagle flies, it is impossible for them to fly back and forth while they are waiting for the car.

It's not that they don't want to go first, it's because outside the western suburbs is the family cemetery of most court officials, and it's very scattered, if they break into someone's cemetery by mistake, step on the grave of an ancestor, and anger other people's ancestors, they can't afford it.

Wang Mengning and his party

Forget Chen's guess was right, Duan Chenjing and the others had already rushed to the capital when they received the news. Riding his horse all the way away, and galloping all the way back, Leng Chen felt a little sorry for his horse.

They soon arrived at the cemetery that Wang Mengning said they said, looking at the uneven graves, Leng Chen smiled, "This Yin Zhengzhong's family is really prosperous, it's a pity, when Yin Zhengzhong's generation is facing the end of cutting off children and grandchildren, it is really a misfortune for the family." ”

Yin Zhengzhong is over half a hundred years old, and he has married a lot in the side room, but he has no sons and half daughters under his knees, if he really buys off the prince of Lan Zhao Xiangling and breaks the news of "Empty Yin Fu", Duan Chenjing will definitely not let him go. Not only will it not let him go, but it will also make him die an ugly death.

Duan Chenjing stood in place and looked around, this cemetery is a treasure of feng shui, open and accessible for three years, but there is a forest behind it. Although it doesn't look too big, it also covers the sky and the sun, and it looks very dense and verdant.

"That stone dungeon, probably in the middle of this woods, right?"

Leng Chen raised his feet and walked towards the woods, the more they delayed, the more dangerous the red sleeves were, the price was too great, he really couldn't afford to gamble.

But they walked from one end of the woods to the other, and came back in a different direction, and found nothing suspicious, not even the little raised mound.

"Chenjing, could it be that the news is wrong, or are we in the wrong place?"

Duan Chenjing squatted down, grabbed a handful of dirt casually, and released his fingers, letting them scatter between his fingers.

He shook his head, "No, Yin Zhengzhong's old thief is very cunning, he definitely won't build the stone prison in an obvious place, let's look for it." ”

So far, there is no other way but to listen to him. Leng Chen could only be patient, slow down, and search carefully, not letting go of any inch of land.

The sun was gradually turning west, and it was not as hot as at noon, and occasionally a light breeze came, raising the corners of their clothes, but they couldn't sort out Leng Chen's restless heart.

After a long time, Duan Chenjing pointed to the weeds on a pile of graves and said, "There it is." ”

Leng Chen jumped up and jumped on the grave, "Heh, this Yin Zhengzhong is really bold, he dares to do this kind of thing on the grave of his ancestors, and he is not afraid of being punished by God." ”

After saying that, with a little force, he uprooted the pile of weeds. Just heard a "click", and the stone tombstone in front of the tomb began to move to the side, revealing a secret passage.

"Chenjing, how did you find out here?" The idea of turning the entrance of the stone dungeon into a tomb is such a mad idea that only a mad man can come up with.

Duan Chenjing stood with his hands in his hands, "It's very simple, this season is a good season for plants to grow wildly, but this is also his family's cemetery, there must be someone to take care of it every once in a while, don't you think this pile of grass grows here too abruptly?" Also, if you look closely at the grass on the surrounding tombs, it is only growing in twos and threes, and it is also very short, but this small pile is so lush. Besides, we went around the ground and didn't find a stone prison, so there was only one possibility, that is, it was built underground, and this is a cemetery, and the most common thing is often the best cover. And even if he wanted to break his head, he couldn't imagine that he had so much courage to dare to do something on the cemetery, and this trick was really cleverly designed. Okay, without further ado, let's go in and save Redsleeves......"
