Chapter Ninety-Three: Trapped Together
"Qingqing!" Xuanyuan Hao flew over. hugged Chu Yueqing in the bad, took out the strip of cloth that stuffed Chu Yueqing's mouth, untied the strip of cloth that blindfolded her and the hemp rope that tied her hands and feet.
"Qingqing, Qingqing, wake up!" Xuanyuan Hao kept calling her, and his arms tightly hugged Chu Yueqing in his arms.
"Hiss~ it hurts." Chu Yueqing's wound that had just been whipped ached.
The pain made Chu Yueqing open her eyes, and she saw a vague shadow, "Xuan... Yuan... Hao, is that you? β
"Yes, Qingqing. It's me. "Xuanyuan Hao.
A familiar breath lingered at the tip of her nose, reassuring her. Chu Yueqing's head was against Xuanyuan Hao's chest and fell asleep deeply.
Xuanyuan Hao picked her up, his face cold.
"Go home!" He said.
"Lord Wang," Ah Huan asked in a low voice, "I haven't found the whereabouts of the Xie family's lady yet, let's... Whatever? β
Xuanyuan Hao groaned slightly, and said, "Ah, you stay." β
"I'll stay." Granny Yu said lightly, and her face under the black veil did not have a trace of ups and downs.
Xuanyuan Hao bowed slightly to Granny Yu, and then strode out with Chu Yueqing in his arms.
However, after observing Xuanyuan Hao's simple and rude method of opening the door, Ah Huan and Granny Yu found Xie Yunfang not long after.
Granny Yu's Qinglong sword is also one of the best swords in the list of weapons in the rivers and lakes, and Ah Huan's sword is the posthumous work of Zhou Qingfu, a famous swordsmith in the rivers and lakes. Although the swords of the two are not as good as Red Feather, they can be described as swords in the world!
And the stone chamber where Xie Yunfang was imprisoned was on the right side of Chu Yueqing. The two took the oil lamp in the stone room where Chu Yueqing was imprisoned, and cut the door locks on the left and right sides respectively.
After only listening to the two sounds of "Bang, Bang", Ah Huan's voice came from Granny Yu's ears, "Find a woman." β
Granny Yu looked at the ragged woman in front of her, her tender green coat was covered with blood-red whip marks, and she couldn't help but feel pity in her heart. She untied her black cloak and put it over the woman.
When Ah Huan heard this, he came out of his empty stone room and saw that there was an extra woman on Granny Yu's back.
When he saw it, it was Xie Yunfang, who he had been tracking for three days. He said, "She is the lady of the Xie family." β
Seeing Granny Yu carrying Xie Yunfang on her back, Ah Huan was afraid that Granny Yu would not be able to support it, and then he said kindly, "Granny Yu, let me carry the lady of the Xie family on her back." β
Granny Yu looked at Ah Huan through the black veil with a sincere expression and said, "No need. β
"Granny Yu, the lady of the Xie family doesn't look thin, she should be quite heavy. Don't look at me thin, but I have a lot of strength, so let me carry it. Ah Huan explained.
"No, men and women don't kiss." Granny Yu said as she chased after Xuanyuan Hao with Xie Yunfang on her back.
Ah Huan looked at the jade mother-in-law who was far away, and was stunned in place for a while, and suddenly her face turned red.
HeβHe's not thinking about it that much, right? Moreover, how old is that little lady? Twelve or thirteen, it's not too late!
Ah Yan pulled his legs and chased after him.
It's dark in the tunnel, but there's nothing in the way. Ah Huan was relaxed, and he quickly chased after the four people in front of him when he mentioned his internal strength.
He was still holding an oil lamp in his hand, and Ah Yan said, "Lord Wang, the oil lamp in front of your subordinates is lighting the way." β
When Xuanyuan Hao heard this, he turned sideways and said, "Okay." β
Walking through the smooth dark passage, there are dark steps. Ah Huan led the way with an oil lamp in front. But I found that the stairs seemed to have no end.
When he and the prince jumped down, there was a square piece at the top of the steps. The moonlight was good tonight, and it fell right next to the desk through the window, so there should be a bright spot ahead.
It wasn't until a few people walked to the steps in front of the square that they found that the secret door that had been opened before had been closed.
"Is there anyone else out there?" Granny Jade asked.
"No," Ah Huan replied in annoyance, "Lord Wang, subordinates shouldn't come in. Please punish the prince. β
"It's not your fault, Ahmad. You don't have to blame yourself. Xuanyuan Hao said, the fault is only that he didn't expect this floor, there are no hidden weapons and poisonous gas in the secret room, it turns out that this secret door will automatically close after a certain time.
"Let's look for it again, there must be a mechanism inside that can open the secret door." Granny Jade also comforted.
Although it doesn't sound like much like words of comfort.
The three of them circled around the half-sized square. In the end, I found that there was nothing, and the surrounding stone walls were smooth, and there was not even a suspicious protrusion.
Ah Yan was unwilling and looked for it on the steps again. In the end, nothing was found.
Granny Yu was dressed in black, and Xuanyuan Hao was dressed in white, and the two of them stood quietly on the steps near Fangdi, as if they were pondering something.
ββ
Outside the window, the moon rises in the sky.
It's the end of the hour.
Qian Tu went back and forth in Xie Yunfang's house several times.
Xie Shilang and Mrs. Xie looked at Qian Tu at the door of the house, anxious.
"Brother Qian, what clues do you have?" Xie Shilang asked.
The case is at an impasse, Qian Tu thought to himself. There was nothing suspicious in the room. The only letter was from a man in black, who was careful not to touch anything in the room except the floor.
He went again to the window on the south side of the house, through which the man in black entered, and went to the desk on the north side of the room, and then put the letter on the desk, and went back the way he came.
Qian Tu listened to the courtyard wall on the south side, there was an alley outside, and when he walked out, he was Daobei Street. Daobei Street is the location of hawkers in Beijing.
During the day, there are many people, and the breath of people and images will soon be mixed together, and it will be chaotic.
"Brother Qian," Xie Shilang called again.
Qian Tu came back to his senses, "Brother Xie." β
"But what did you find?"
Qian Tu groaned, if he searched slowly, he could actually find the trace of the man in black. But what is needed most to save people is to be fast, and he cannot be slow.
Besides, if he finds the man in black, he may not know Xie Yunfang's whereabouts.
Now the only breakthrough is people, Qian Tu thought.
"There are some eyebrows, Brother Xie. But it wasn't enough to find Xie Niangzi. In addition to Xie Niangzi's personal maid during the day, are there any other people who follow Xie Niangzi? Qian Tu asked.
Xie Shilang thought for a while and said, "No, Brother Qian." When Yun Fang went out, she only brought Xiao Rong and a maid with her, and now that Xiao Rong has no whereabouts, she must have been arrested with Yun Fang. β
This is a dilemma, and you can't rely on talent to know information. Qian Tu thought for a moment and said, "Brother Xie, for the sake of today, if you want to find Xie Niangzi as much as possible, I'm afraid you will have to use the official to help handle the case." β
The reason why Xie Shilang originally looked for money in private was that he hoped that it could be done in secret at this time, and if he used the official servants, it would be officially recorded in the official case.
Once it is recorded in the official case, whether it is for Yun Fang or the entire Xie family, it is a disgraceful thing.
"No, there are people." At this time, Mrs. Xie suddenly spoke. (To be continued)
PS: I asked for a recommendation and collected it. Ling: The previous 'Ling Yan' or something, it seems to be a little too jumpy, and it will be changed to 'Little Lady' or something in the future.
