Qi Ling, Taishou Mansion, another room

Feng Taishou was in the main position, and he was surrounded by seven or eight officials.

A caracal eye, swearing:

"Big brother, we're all ready. At night, the post house and the government were on fire, and we killed all the fans in one fell swoop! ”

Feng Taishou's face was solemn, and he slowly raised his head, his bright and powerful eyes were empty at this moment, and his dark eyes were mixed with inexplicable gloom and sentimentality.

The right hand is clenched into a fist, and the finger bones follow the mood fluctuations and rub to produce a "quack, quack" sound.

"Eleven years! It's time to ...... Asked Zheng Guogong to repay the blood debt......"

A servant looked at the window, suddenly thought of something, and his face was worried:

"Big brother, the little fan guard ghost next to the eunuch is very good! Look at him, he hasn't stopped since the moment he entered the city, singing and singing with the admiral of the Dongchang factory and specifically looking for trouble for us. ”

Feng Taishou closed his gaze, as if thoughtful, squinted slightly, and muttered to himself:

"At a young age, he was thoughtful and unique, and he was not a disciple of Leng Qingtang. But where have you seen that face? ”

The door was wide open, and the servants panicked, and as soon as they entered the house, they tripped and fell:

"Big brother, a kid named Yun Guan'er...... Ran into the kitchen! ”

……

kitchen

Gu Yunxi walked down the secret room, approaching the truth step by step.

The stairs were narrow and steep, and each step could not fit the entire ball of her foot. Gu Yunxi held the fire fold in one hand and the wall with the other, tiptoeing into the depths of the secret room. Every time she walked a step, she would keep a count in her mind.

She descended a total of twenty-eight steps, and the slender passage revealed before her eyes.

Frightened, Gu Yunxi stopped again. The fire fold emitted a faint light, smashing her delicate and swarthy figure diagonally against the floor of the passage, stretching it into a slender length.

If we stop there, turn around and go back to report to the Overseer, I am afraid it will be too late.

The stalking official was poisoned, and the violent reaction of vomiting and diarrhea would soon be noticed by Feng Taishou. Leaving at this point, it may be difficult for the people of the East Factory to get close to this kitchen again.

If you don't know if the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, it will force Feng Taishou to transfer the things in the secret room, or hack the people in the East Factory in advance.

So far, I can only continue to go

Swallowing his saliva hard, Gu Yunxi no longer hesitated, bit his lower lip and took a step, continuing to grope in the narrow passage where he couldn't see his fingers.

The deep, dark, unknown world is like a bottomless abyss, engulfing her petite body, forcing her to keep walking, but she can't find a way out.

The temperature in the secret room was humid and stuffy, but because of the cold, she kept shivering as she walked forward.

It was only fifty-one steps away, but for her, it was a long, never-ending journey.

In front of the field of vision, the blurred space suddenly widens.

The smell of fire, candles, blood, and excrement was extremely choking. Gu Yunxi subconsciously covered his mouth and nose and frowned deeply.

Holding the fire fold high and looking around, she saw that the ground and the surrounding stone walls were very flat, and they were all trimmed with fine blue bricks and white ash.

Gu Yunxi cautiously walked deeper into the secret room, not forgetting to be vigilant at all times, carefully paying attention to all the movements around him. In her heart, she hinted to herself over and over again:

"There are no monsters, no monsters! Walking further inside, you can see mountains of gold and silver treasures, as well as countless land deeds, which are evidence of the corruption and private collection of the dog official Feng Heng.

And I must collect the evidence as soon as possible and go back to the Overseer

The urgency of being anxious to make meritorious service gradually became rampant, and Gu Yunxi no longer had any timidity at this moment, so he just kept raising the fire and keeping his feet.

Somewhere ahead, there was a sudden friction sound in the shadows, followed by a deep groan, like someone's sigh, which made her pause.

In an instant, a beating heart, which had been tensely tightened to the extreme, seemed to suddenly stop. Although the chest was extremely uncomfortable, Gu Yunxi didn't dare to breathe

Come out.

At this moment, immersed in the silent and eerie darkness, she only felt a chill all over her body, and her hairs stood up "whoosh".

Over here...... Is there any living creature?

She slowed her pace, describing herself as vigilant, constantly searching for the source of the sound.

Once, she fought fiercely against wolves under the cliffs of Yuyu Mountain. The experience of immortality made her feel that in the future, there would be no beast that could easily scare her.

Gu Yunxi finally found a man curled up in the corner of the stone wall at the end of the secret room.

His hands and feet were tightly bound with ropes, and his hair was clinging together. The only remaining white shirt and pants on his body were covered with blood and filth, and exuded an unbearable stench.

Gu Yunxi was completely stunned, she didn't expect that in this secret room that was built with great effort and did not hesitate to use heavy gold and silver, there was only one big living person hidden?

Who is he? Why were my hands and feet tied and thrown into the secret room? Don't......

The moment a terrible thought popped out of his mind, Gu Yunxi himself was taken aback. To confirm her point, she took a few steps closer to the man, holding her breath.

Five steps away, the man felt the flickering light of the fire in front of the darkness, slowly and with difficulty raised his head towards the light, and his scattered gaze finally met Gu Yunxi's terrified eyes.

His chapped and blood-soaked lips slowly opened, and as bursts of foul stench erupted, murky syllables of "babbling" burst out of his withered voice.

Suddenly, Gu Yunxi's legs seemed to be firmly grasped, and it was difficult to lift them anymore, and he easily stepped forward or retreated at will.

This bound man...... His face, his facial features...... It's exactly the same as Feng Taishou!

The truth is exactly what I imagined

She has always suspected that Feng Heng, who welcomed the Dongchang Qincha Brigade into Qiling, was pretended to be, the truth, it was so!

The cycle of heavenly reason, retribution is unpleasant.

Come to think of it, Feng Heng has been an official for several years, and it is precisely when he has done all the bad things that he will be targeted by a group of people of unknown origin.

They imprisoned him, put on him and his officials' clothes, and disguised himself as an official of the Imperial Palace.

In this way, it is not difficult to explain why there are many holes in the uniforms of the officials. Those should be the evidence that when this gang was fighting with the real officials for the occupation of the Taifu and the real officials, they hit the opponent with a single blow.

The creepy foreboding trapped Gu Yunxi's whole body.

It seems that except for Feng Heng, those errand officials are already more auspicious. No wonder, there are many crows on the plane trees in the courtyard.

Crows eat scavengers, somewhere in this courtyard, there must be the corpse of an errand officer!

What a blessing in misfortune. Fortunately, there was no corpse hidden in this secret room, otherwise Gu Yunxi was really worried that he would do it, and after going down the secret room, he found something terrible, and then fled in a hurry after shouting.

In addition, Gu Yunxi was sure that the noise she heard by the stove just now was also the movement made by this Zhen Taishou who tried to knock on the wall in order to be rescued.

The secret room goes straight to the kitchen, and the sound is reflected through the wall and transmitted to the side of the stove, which is not completely impossible.

In any case, those unknown people in disguise must have to deal with Dongchang, so they will make such a careful bag drop plan.

Overseer, there is danger again

Gu Yunxi pulled his legs and ran back.

Ascending the steps in one breath and climbing up the entrance, she saw Feng Taishou standing on the side of the wall, his sturdy right arm supporting the wall, and his indifferent old face with a gloomy expression.

Seeing Gu Yunxi, the lips under his beard twitched slightly, and he looked sinister as if he was smiling......

Leng Qingtang's restless negative hand wandered. For nearly an hour, Gu Yunxi went out to look for food and didn't come back, which inevitably caused him to worry.

He knew the little girl.

Even if she cooks big dishes, she won't be able to do it for a long time. I'm afraid that there are no complications in the middle of the way, and people have accidents?

Ai Qing and Lu Rong are guarding the house at the moment, and there are two guards guarding the door.

Seeing that the Overseer was worried, Ai Qing said:

"Overseer, I'm going out to find the cloud girl!"

Leng Qingtang shook his head one after another, and his steps were still the same:

"Find one by one, it's easiest to get separated, and wait! Let's go see Feng Heng later, and we will all tuck up the soft guys. ”

Outside the door, a conversation began:

"I'm tired of this master entering the house to spread the word, Lord Feng asked the little one to invite Lord Leng to have dinner in the dining hall in the front yard."

"Wait here."

When he was young, a guard came into the house to spread the word.

Leng Qingtang squinted calmly, and there was no fear on Jun's face. Ai Qing waited

Changing into a neat Xuanqing narrow-sleeved casual robe, he led his men out of the room.

……

Taishou Mansion, dining room

Feng Taishou sat upright in the deputy seat, and the room was brightly lit with his ruddy face. And his facial features, which fell into comfort at this time, always seemed to show a hint of treachery and hideousness.

There were four servants standing beside him, with knives at their waists, their faces sinking like water, and their faces of different shapes without any expression.

Seeing Leng Qingtang striding into the dining hall with the support of the two heads and the two guards, a glimmer of light flashed in Feng Taishou's eagle-like sharp eyes.

"Lord Leng, please take a seat."

Getting up, Feng Taishou propped up his right arm and sat down.

"Yes, Lord Lawron, please."

After the greetings, Leng Qingtang lowered his eyes and sat on the main seat, and the afterglow of his eyes quickly swept over the weapons carried by the four officials.

Lightly hooked his lips, he pretended not to notice.

After Feng Taishou sat down, his eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at Ai Qing, the big block head with a straight back, beside the overseer.

Seeing him holding Leng Qingtang's Qing Shui Liuyun Sword in his arms, he unconsciously lowered his jaw for a while, and silently pulled out a sneer.

The two major guards of the East Factory and their subordinate guards secretly breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, always vigilant against the four silent and cold officials opposite.

At the dinner table, everyone tacitly brought weapons, and it was just a matter of a moment!

The atmosphere became sharp and urgent. Although the two sides did not draw their weapons, they were already secretly competing, and between their eyes and their eyes looking at each other, it was a thrilling gladiatorial battle.

Leng Qingtang raised his eyes calmly, and looked through the half-open door at the dim curtain outside the dining room.

The moonlight burst out of its silhouette and fell on a rugged plane tree in the courtyard, casting a miserable white glow. The plane trees are tall and straight, and the dense branches are even more eerie and gloomy in the gathering of the faint moonlight.

With his jaw raised, Leng Qingtang could smell the restless and heavy smell of blood and murder under the lonely evening dome.

The handsome face was abrupt, his eyes were sharp and far away, and his brilliance turned to full of color.

"Lord Feng, Yun Guan'er, the apprentice of this governor...... But in your hands? ”

Feng Taishou stroked his beard and laughed a few times, and made a gesture to the officials beside him.

One person came back after a short time and placed a plate of neatly cut three white cakes in the middle of the empty round table.

Leng Qingtang's big phoenix eyes were stunned, staring at the contents of the dish silently, and then his expression changed drastically, and the dark clouds on Wen Yu's face suddenly rolled, extremely dark.

The delicate pastries on the plate are from Yunxi's hands at a glance! He knew that Feng Heng dared to present it in front of him in order to answer his question with provocation.

“…… Who are you? ”

Leng Qingtang squinted, his gloomy gaze turned to Feng Taishou's face with a blank expression, his unhurried questioning voice was a little hoarse, and his tone was cold, like a deep pool frozen for thousands of years, chilling and breathtaking:

"Why do you want to pretend to be the Taishou of Qiling County and intercept the Governor here?!"

Feng Taishou's eyes were firmly locked on Leng Qingtang's anger, and his plain gaze was hidden:

"Has the Overseer forgotten? Eleven years ago, when the capital entered winter, what happened on that snowy night......? ”
