Chapter 162: Adults See
After a few days, Ouyang Kai finally waited for the news of Yunyu Tower.
"My lord, something is wrong!"
Not long after nightfall, Situ Zhuanzhi sent a guy back to deliver a message to Situ Jingping.
"What's wrong with Yunyu Tower?"
After guarding in Zhaozhou for more than half a month, Yunyulou didn't even let out a fart, and now that something is coming, how can Situ Jingping not be excited.
"My lord, Yunyu Building is empty!"
The guy didn't say a lot of wordwork or foreshadowing, and just told the story.
"What! What's going on? Let's go, go to Yunyu Building, talk as you go! ”
Such a big fish, you can't let it slip away, Situ Jingping is a little anxious.
"My lord, when we guarded Yunyulou during the day today, there were always people inside, and I didn't see any movement all day, just now when the lights were everywhere, Yunyulou didn't hold the lights, we realized that something was wrong, and after entering, we found that there was no one inside."
That guy was also very confused, they didn't even notice when the people in Yunyu Tower left.
"Where's the dedication?"
Situ Jingping obviously wanted to know more, this matter was strangely tight.
"The eldest brother is searching in the Yunyu Building, and he asked me to come back and report the news to the adults."
The guy didn't have any more news to tell Situ Jingping, and after they went in, they found that there was no one in Yunyu Building, so Situ Zhuanzhi sent someone back to tell Situ Jingping.
"Let's take a look at Yunyu Tower."
Guo Wei, who had not spoken, lit up his opinion at this time, it is impossible for people to disappear out of thin air, and they can only discover the truth of the matter when they arrive at Yunyu Tower.
Yunyu Building is not far from Qianyuan Inn, and soon the group came to Yunyu Building.
"Your Excellency!"
Yunyulou has been taken over by Situ Jingping's people, and as soon as Situ Jingping and the others appeared, someone showed them the way.
"How's it going?"
There was no nonsense, Situ Jingping wanted to know why the people in Yunyulou were missing.
"I found the secret passage, the entrance is under the lobby, and the eldest brother has already gone to chase it."
The guy who led the way briefly told Situ Jingping about the situation in Yunyu Building.
"Is Yunyulou finished inspecting?"
When people are gone, there should still be a lot of traces left in the Yunyu Building, which is an important source of evidence.
"Still checking."
Yunyulou is so big, and it has to be carefully inspected, and it will definitely not be inspected in such a short time.
When I came to the lobby of Yunyu Building, the wooden board next to the platform had been removed, and a conspicuous hole appeared in front of everyone.
"Where does this hole lead, you know?"
The people in Yunyulou didn't run from the front gate or the back door, so it can basically be confirmed that they left through the secret passage.
This secret passage is really cleverly dug, Ouyang Kai looked at it and smiled, he thought that the entrance of the secret passage was in the heavily guarded kitchen of Yunyu Building, but he didn't expect them to do the opposite, and set the secret passage entrance in the lobby, where people come and go.
"This secret passage leads to every room on the first floor of Yunyu Building, and there is an exit that is not clear, and the eldest brother has already chased after that exit."
The guy answered truthfully.
"Is there an outlet in the back kitchen?"
Ouyang Kai asked, such a heavily guarded back kitchen must be greasy, and Ouyang Kai still regards the back kitchen as the primary object of suspicion.
"Yes, in an empty tank."
The guy replied cheerfully, that exit was the most special, the other exits were either beds or corner floors, only it was a water tank.
"I'll take a look."
After saying a word to Situ Jingping, Ouyang Kai walked over to the back kitchen.
When he came to the back kitchen, Ouyang Kai's eyes lit up, the dish was only cut halfway, and the person left? Can you be more hasty?
Looking at the placements in the back kitchen, he found no trace of the ghost vine grass, which made Ouyang Kai suspicious.
When I came into contact with those women in Yunyulou that time, it was obvious that their body temperature was a little lower than normal, and they were all confused, which was the same as the symptoms of the girls rescued by Zhang Yusheng.
Those girls are already sure to have eaten the ghost vine grass, it stands to reason that those girls in Yunyu Building should also have eaten the ghost vine grass, why is there no trace of the ghost vine grass in the back kitchen? Could it be that the woman in Yunyulou ate the ghost vine grass elsewhere?
There were three water tanks in the kitchen, and when I opened the head of the water tank, I found a hole in one of the tanks.
This design with the water tank as the hole really made Ouyang Kai gain insight, the table found in Jiu'an Mountain last time was strange enough, but I didn't expect the water tank to be used as a cover for the secret entrance.
It seems that the Panlong Sect has put a lot of thought into all aspects of covering the tracks.
Jumping from the water tank to the secret passage, there are torches illuminated inside, and there are many forks in the road, which should be the exits to the various rooms of the Yunyu Building.
There is also a secret passage behind it, and the direction should lead to the outside of the city.
Walking towards the secret passage that was suspected to lead to the outside of the city, Ouyang Kai knocked on the wall of the secret passage, and his voice was very deep, it was solid.
Ouyang Kai did not continue to walk forward, but reflexively returned to Yunyu Tower.
"My lord, three people have been caught!"
As soon as Ouyang Kai came up from the tunnel exit of the lobby, he heard someone report to Situ Jingping that someone had been caught.
In this way, the people of Yunyulou have not all gone.
"My lord, spare your life! We didn't do anything! ”
The two people who were escorted up by the guys kept kowtowing to Situ Jingping and Guo Wei and begging for mercy.
"Who are you?"
Seeing that the two of them were young and the clothes on their bodies were of some grade, Tu Jianping preliminarily judged that the two of them were sons and brothers who came to Yunyulou to have fun.
"We are the young master of the Zhang family in Fengzhou, my name is Zhang Jianze, his name is Zhang Jianhao, we are not from Yunyulou, my lord is clear!"
That's right, the two people who were caught by the guys were Zhang Jianze and Zhang Jianhao who were in Yunyu Building last time.
They are going to transport the koji wine back to Fengzhou in two days, and they took advantage of the free time last night, so they came to Yunyulou to find some fun, and they did find fun last night, but they didn't expect to encounter an accident again today.
When they woke up in the morning, they were arrested, and the arrest was fine, but worse, they were knocked unconscious and locked in a closet.
It wasn't until Situ Jingping's people inspected Yunyu Building just now that they were released.
"Fengzhou Zhang family, what are you doing here?"
Fengzhou is on the bank of the Xiao River in the north of the capital, it is a rich place, there are many merchants in Fengzhou, and the traces are all over the world, and this Situ Jingping also knows.
But this Zhang family, it seems that the focus of business has always been in the north, how could the two young masters of the Zhang family come to Zhaozhou in the south.
"We came here to buy Zhaozhou koji wine, and the family's inventory was insufficient, so our father asked me to come to Zhaozhou to buy some back."
Zhang Jianze replied truthfully that he only came to Zhaozhou a few days ago.
As for Zhang Jianhao, he has not returned to Fengzhou since the Zhang family went to Zhaozhou to buy wine last time.
"Well, take it down first, and then ask questions when you go back."
Yunyulou is not a suitable place to ask questions, so it is better to ask them slowly after going back.
"Girl, what about you?"
There was also a person who was caught, a girl, a young woman to be exact.
Under the heavy makeup, she can also see a few hemp beans on her face, which are a little infiltrating.
"My name is Xiaohong, and I am from Yunyulou."
The woman who called herself Xiaohong picked her nose with her hand and said indifferently.
"Oh? The people of Yunyu Tower? ”
Seeing that the woman did not panic at all, Situ Jingping was a little surprised.
"When Yunyulou first opened, I was already eating here, and then when the sky changed, they didn't drive me away."
Xiaohong explained to Situ Jingping that she should be the oldest person in Yunyu Building, and the girls there have changed one after another, only she can't move.
"What's changing?"
Yunyulou has only been established for five years, and there is nothing to be experienced in it.
"At the beginning, every girl here had to take poison, but then I changed to a new shopkeeper, so I stopped taking poison, and those girls who took poison died, and only I survived with the antidote."
can get the antidote, Xiaohong is still grateful to the surname Duan in her heart, at least he has a unique taste, so he has a good bite and makes himself suffer a lot.
"Poison? What was the name of the previous shopkeeper? ”
Feeding people poison, such a shopkeeper must be arrested and beaten.
Hearing the poison, Situ Jingping immediately thought of the five poisonous beasts, and the six of them were all masters of using poison.
"I don't know what the shopkeeper's name is, I only know his surname Duan."
Xiaohong had never heard the name of the shopkeeper before, only knew that his surname was Duan, and he had given himself an antidote.
"Clothed beast Duan Ting!"
"Duan Ting!"
With poison, surnamed Duan, Situ Jingping immediately thought of Duan Ting, the clothed beast among the five poisonous beasts.
Ouyang Kai too, he still has a grudge with Duan Ting, in the Valley of Hundred Flowers, he was poisoned by Duan Ting and Ge Guang, and almost died in Huangquan.
"Duan Ting? Who is Duan Ting? Was Yunyulou the former shopkeeper? ”
Xiaohong was puzzled, these two people seemed to know more than they knew.
"Where did the shopkeeper go?"
Ouyang Kai asked eagerly, he was sure in his heart that the shopkeeper in front of the Yuan and the stairs was Duan Ting, the clothed beast among the five poisonous beasts.
His primary target was the Five Poisonous Beasts, which had a grudge against him, and it was also what he had promised Emperor Xiao.
"Leave me these jelly beans the other day and leave."
