On this day, Qu Wu was busy with the decoration, and suddenly saw Chen Qing leading Chen Ermao in.

"Ermao, why are you here? Did Wujiang send you? Qu Wu said.

"No, boss, I'm coming by myself, my brother wants me too, he's worried that Chen Qing has no one to take care of."

"Who took care of you? I'm not a child. Chen Qing said on the side.

"Oh, but aren't you short of people in Wujiang this time?" Qu Wu said.

"Not only him, but my eldest brother and sister-in-law have also left Gusu and returned to Zhuye." Chen Qing muttered.

"Huh? What happened? Qu Wu was visibly surprised.

"They're going home to have a baby." Chen Ermao said.

"Boss, as soon as you leave, everyone's hearts will be scattered." Chen Qing said.

"I said I would go back to Gusu often, but this time is too busy. Ermao, what are you going to do when you come to Yingdu? . ”

"Boss, I want to do it with you, you can let me do whatever I want, just give me a place to live and a bite to eat." Chen Ermao said.

"Okay, I'm really short of manpower here, you can live in this compound today, familiarize yourself with the situation first, and then help me manage this courtyard when the renovation is completed, Chen Qing is responsible for managing the accounts." Qu Wu said.

"Okay, boss."

The renovation of Qu Wu's house was finally completed. The gate of the courtyard was demolished before the prince's occupation and other gorgeous decorations, replaced by simple solid wood, and the door forehead made of wooden plaques on the courtyard door was the word Qu House, which was not publicized.

Qu Wu walked into the compound to personally inspect it, the courtyard was filled with a faint smell of logs, the avenue was a large stone slab, and the path in the garden was made of small round stones.

The layout of the entire compound is still the same as that of the prince's mansion, but some parts and details have been changed, and the overly elaborate and ostentatious wood carvings have been replaced.

In the center of the compound is a large pool, since there are no goldfish at this time, Qu Wu has people put a lot of red carp and water fish, through a long wooden corridor to the water pavilion in the center of the pool, the water pavilion is large and spacious, along the surrounding wooden benches can sit more than 20 people, and in the middle is a wooden mahjong table and four wooden sofa chairs.

The decoration of the rooms in the courtyard is mainly practical, incorporating a large number of modern elements, that is, simple and generous and emphasizing practical value, and the two blue brick two-story buildings, the appearance is simple and unpretentious, and the interior is decorated according to the function, and the study, living room, and bedroom furniture are complete.

Chen Qing was full of curiosity about the unopened secret door in the secret room because she had seen the mysterious tunnel with Qu Wu last time, and asked Qu Wu to take her in again several times.

Of course, Qu Wu also wanted to go over and find out, but there were many people during the renovation, and entering the secret passage would leak secrets.

After the renovation was completed, Qu Wu took Chen Qing to the room with a secret passage again, last time he didn't find out because of time, this time he wanted to check the entire tunnel more carefully.

After opening the secret grid and lock, and locking the cutout, Qu Wu successfully opened the stone door on the wall, and Qu Wu walked to the stairs first, and protected Chen Qing at the bottom of the stairs, worried that she would fall.

Chen Qing saw that Qu Wu was below, slowly descended the stairs, and when he saw that there were only two steps left, he deliberately stood unsteadily, and fell into Qu Wu's arms.

For a girl like Chen Qing, who is usually indifferent on the outside, her inner heat is like an iceberg-covered volcano, and once she breaks through the shackles of shyness, she will burst out with amazing energy.

Seeing Chen Qing leaning his body, Qu Wu hurriedly stretched out his hands to protect him, and Chen Qing took advantage of the situation and hugged Qu Wu tightly.

Qu Wu realized that Chen Qing was clamoring to see the secret room, in addition to curiosity, there was also to create an opportunity for the two to have intimate contact.

Of course, Qu Wu also enjoys this feeling of secretly falling in love, although he also loves Ziyan in his heart and likes to be alone with Ziyan, but he doesn't think it is the heart of Chaoqin and Duchu, but the tolerance of the east and the west.

After all, this is a men's society, and the equality of men and women accepted since childhood will not work here at all, and Qu Wu can only passively and very willingly follow the local customs.

The two linger on each other, making time meaningless, and kissing and hugging make the two hormonal-filled young men and women enjoy the sweetness of love to the fullest.

The two of them were tired of standing for a long time, and finally they were a little tired of standing, and the air here was not fresh, so the two of them wanted to complete the task of coming in as soon as possible, and then leave early.

Qu Wu turned on his flashlight and began to inspect the secret room.

Qu Wu took a look at the slips in the bookcase, except for a few books that neither of them could understand, they were all diaries and important notes recorded by the prince's position, as well as some files of other princes and major officials, many of which were evidence records of King Chu Mu when he was the crown prince, and some records of the prince's cruelty to women and the concubines of his father King Chu Cheng.

Qu Wu was surprised to see this, these black materials were all proof that Gongzi wanted to overthrow the prince and replace him.

However, it was too dangerous for these things to remain in the world, and Qu Wu thought about how to destroy them in the future, because King Chu Mu did not want these ugly things to be known and spread everywhere, and those officials who were co-opted did not want to be tainted with the reputation and stain of aiding and abetting abuse for greedy profits.

Putting down these slips, Qu Wu carefully checked the secret room up and down with a flashlight, and made sure that there were no other secret doors before entering the tunnel.

With the experience of entering the tunnel last time, Qu Wu and Chen Qing did not have the previous sense of mystery and knew very well what they were about to face.

However, Chen Qing was still a little nervous, worried about falling again, Qu Wu had to use his big hand to hold her slender jade hand, and walked step by step to the secret room containing the boat and weapons at the end.

Walked to the chamber and removed the stack of spears lying horizontally, and the hidden compartment was opened again.

Qu Wu carefully checked the top and bottom again, and began to use the **** lock after confirming that there was no hidden mechanism, because the ancient lock was far less technically than modern, and Qu Wu had learned the art of unlocking in the army, so it was easy to open with tools.

After opening it, Qu Wu gently pulled the lock and opened the small stone door in the wall.

Qu Wu followed the flashlight and looked inside the small stone door, only to see that there were six large wooden boxes in this small secret room that could only be entered, Qu Wu opened them one by one, and it was full of shining gold and jewelry, Qu Wu and Chen Qing were both surprised.

Although I had predicted that there would be treasures in the secret room, I never thought that there would be so many of them.

"Boss, you have made a fortune, so much gold and jewelry, I don't know how many times more than you spent to buy this mansion." Chen Qing sighed, thinking that he really responded to what the old man said: the rich people spend more and more, and the rich people get poorer and poorer.

Qu Wu thought for a moment and said, "I won't touch a penny of this windfall. But I won't hand it over to King Chumu for the time being, because there is no benefit, and I will talk about it when the time is right. ”

Qu Wu closed the box, closed the secret door again, locked the copper lock, and added a steel lock that he had brought over, then returned to the original state, took Chen Qing's hand and walked out.
