169 Dramatic changes in personnel

Jun Qinglan looked up and saw that on top of the dilapidated street full of decaying leaves, there was a huge mansion that occupied almost half of the street. The dilapidated and collapsed courtyard wall faintly reveals the broken carvings, silently telling the glory of the past.

There is a plaque hanging on the upper floor of the high gate with peeling oil paint, even if it is covered with dust, you can still vaguely see that it is written on the four characters of Changxing Houfu Douda.

Jun Qinglan sighed, a huge hereditary Hou Mansion actually fell into such a field, and it became the darkest corner of the prosperous street in Yanjing, which even the sun could not reach.

What has happened to you?

"Ronghan, call the door." Jun Qinglan had a feeling that what was locked behind the broken courtyard wall might be the truth that she couldn't find for a long time.

The gate of the Marquis of Changxing Mansion is about the only well-preserved object in this deserted mansion, thick and strong. The gate was painted a dark hue and inlaid with countless large copper nails. Looking at the skin of a toad that looks like it is coming out of the water from a distance, it makes people feel very uncomfortable physically and mentally.

Rong Han grabbed the copper ring on the door and smashed it towards the copper nail hard, and the loud sound was heard far away in the silent and empty street, deafening. After a long time, I heard the sound of chains after the sound of gaba. A faint glimmer of light came from behind the door.

The door was not opened, only a small square window opened on the door. A man's impatient voice came from behind the window.

"Whose wild boy came to slam the door early in the morning? Is this a place for you to mess around? Roll on! ”

Rong Han frowned and handed the waist card of Duanwangfu through the window.

"Yo, Duanwangfu?" The man behind the window seemed to chuckle, and there was clearly contempt in his voice that could not be concealed: "For your safety, the villain still persuades this noble man of Duanwangfu to leave early." This is not the place where you nobles of the capital come to visit. ”

"Open the door!" Rong Han opened his mouth coldly, with an undisguised murderous aura in his voice.

Jun Qinglan squinted her eyes, and Rong Han seemed to be angry. He has the coldest temperament among the secret guards in Duanwang's Mansion, except for seeing a little emotion on his face when facing Li Xueyi's affairs, how have you ever seen him have any emotions?

However, today, the contempt of the man in the door for the Duan Wangfu completely angered him. Rong Han has already experienced many lives and deaths, and once he is provoked, the killing intent that erupts around his body is not very bearable.

However, the inner son of the sect only smiled, as if he had not been disturbed by Rong Han's murderous intent: "This nobleman, you don't have to be angry. The villain doesn't open the door, but it's all for your good. ”

The man said in a beaming manner: "I'm afraid you don't know, this is not the Changxing Marquis Mansion for a long time." We're locked up here now with the most vicious madmen, and the slightest carelessness can kill people, and you don't have a place to reason. The nobles are arrogant and expensive, and their lives are expensive, unlike us villains with rough skin and thick flesh who are forbidden to fight. For your safety, it's better to go back early. ”

"Tolerance, stand down." Jun Qinglan stepped forward slowly and stood with her hands tied. With a faint smile in his cold eyes, he stared at the man behind the window who couldn't see his appearance at all.

"In Xia Jun Qinglan, I was ordered to investigate a case. Some of the details happen to need to be read here. Of course, this little brother can also choose not to believe in Zaixia, and he can invite Shang Fang's sword to come out now. But....... ”

Jun Qinglan smiled slightly, dignified and gentle: "Shang Fang's sword will be stained with blood when it is unsheathed." Little brother thinks, who should be the blood stained on the sword? ”

There was a sudden silence behind the window, and after a short time, a click was heard, as if someone had removed the latch.

The heavy gate of the Marquis of Changxing's Mansion opened with a dull sound, accompanied by dust flying under the light spots. A man in a blue shirt rushed out.

"It turns out that such a distinguished guest has arrived, and the villain really has eyes and does not know Mount Tai to block the way of adults. Adults, please come in. ”

The man in front of him was in his early thirties, not tall, but very stocky. looked innocent, but the eyes were dripping and rolling, with a fine light.

"Dare I ask you what you call it?"

The man accompanied the smiling face to Jun Qinglan: "The villain's name is Su Cheng, if the adult has any orders, just tell the villain." As for the Shang Fang sword....... ”

"Where can such a noble object as Shang Fang's sword be easily unsheathed?"

"That's a good feeling." Su Cheng breathed a sigh of relief: "My lord, please come in." ”

Su Cheng cautiously invited Jun Qinglan and Rong Han to enter the door, and the moment the door closed, Rong Han approached Jun Qinglan: "My lord, please put away Shang Fang's sword." ”

Jun Qinglan laughed and said, "Where is the Shang Fang Sword?" ”

Rong Han's breath froze, and he suddenly couldn't say half a word. Such a blatant pit man...... Is there really no problem?

"Sir, just say whatever you want. The villain must know everything, and he must say everything. ”

Jun Qinglan didn't speak immediately, and her eyes looked around the courtyard first. There is not much difference between the inside and outside of the Hou Mansion, and the fallen leaves cover the road on the ground. All that was left was the boundless yellow.

The houses in the Hou Mansion are in disrepair, and the roof tiles have long been covered with lush grass, dancing in the wind, and there is no fixed direction.

"I heard this has been converted into a madman's house?"

"Exactly." Su Cheng nodded: "Since the Changxing Marquis Mansion has changed, there is only Changxing Marquis left here." It's a pity that such a large courtyard is empty, and it was later changed into a madman's house. Over the years, there have been almost ten madmen who have been imprisoned one after another. ”

"Who are the people who are being imprisoned?"

"It's hard to say, but they're all insane. If you want me to say, it's rare for the Imperial Observatory to do a beautiful thing. Letting those people out there didn't know that they were going to hurt the lives of many innocent people. Now, keep them together and fight for themselves. It can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people. ”

"Where is the Marquis of Changxing imprisoned?"

"In Huaxingtang, he has always lived there. Do you want to see Changxinghou? The villain will take you there. ”

"Not necessarily." Jun Qinglan said: "Please help us settle the horse, I'll go by myself." ”

"Then you have to be careful." Su Cheng said solemnly: "Don't blame the villain for not reminding you, the madman hall is no better than other places, don't break in." ”

Jun Qinglan thanked him and walked towards the depths of the Marquis of Changxing Mansion with Rong Han. The Hou Mansion is huge, covering an extremely wide area, although the pavilions and pavilions are broken, the flowers and plants are withering, but you can still see the grand pattern at the beginning, which shows how prosperous and prosperous the period of total victory should be.

The more this is the case, the more I feel pity. It takes several generations for a family to thrive, and it only happens overnight.

As the two of them walked to the backyard, the silence of their arrival was replaced by an inexplicable roar, and the man's deep voice echoed in the air. It was supposed to be a stirring scene, but at this moment, there was no half of the excitement of arrogance in those voices, only the madness of beasts.

"Be careful, sir." Rong Han pressed his fingers on the handle of the sword and clenched it.

"Don't be nervous." Jun Qinglan: "Didn't you see that those yards are locked?" They can't get out. ”

Although the Changxing Hou Mansion is dilapidated, the door locks of the people are all transparent, as if they are often inspected and maintained. In addition, the gate was specially reinforced, and it was impossible for the people inside to rush out.

"Is this Huaxingtang?" Jun Qinglan stopped and stared at the courtyard in front of her, somewhat surprised.

Huaxingtang is located in the middle of the Changxing Marquis Mansion, with a lotus pond dug in front of it, and a huge rockery behind the courtyard. Although half of the rockery collapsed because no one took care of it for a long time, and only dirty mud remained in the lotus pond, from this layout, the location of Huaxingtang is still quite good.

In the photo book, such a terrain is called looking forward and leaning back, which is the appearance of the great prosperity of the descendants and the glorious lintel. However, physiognomy is physiognomy after all, and even if it occupies excellent feng shui, the Changxing Marquis Mansion still cannot escape the fate of decline. In today's view, this deliberate feng shui bureau is simply ironic.

This should be the main courtyard where the Marquis of Changxing lived in the past dynasties. I really didn't expect that the Marquis of Changxing had been crazy for a long time, and he had always lived in the main courtyard and never been moved out. It seems that the emperor has always maintained the most basic courtesy to him.

"No keys." Jun Qinglan glanced at the dazzling bright copper lock on the door and was a little depressed. Just now, I was only concerned about sending Su Cheng away as soon as possible, why did I forget to ask him for the key?

"It doesn't matter." Rong Han stepped forward expressionlessly, took the hairpin from the top of his head and inserted it into the keyhole. Twist left and right, and listen to the sound of Gaba without much effort. The copper lock fell off and landed firmly in the palm of his hand.

Jun Qinglan blinked, Rong Han still has such a ability? The secret guard of Duanwang's Mansion, is there anything else that can't be done and won't be done?

Rong Han pushed open the door and invited Jun Qinglan in. The surprise that Huaxingtang brought to them was not only reflected in the superior geographical location.

Along the way, they were in ruins and depression everywhere. However, when they stepped into Huaxing Hall, what they saw was a clean and tidy courtyard. There are not a few fallen leaves on the ground, and the cobblestone path is clearly visible. Although most of the flowers and plants in the courtyard are dead, the trees are planted very regularly and grow quite luxuriantly. The canopy of the tree is like a giant umbrella, enveloping the entire main house, shielding it from most of the wind and rain.

Although it has also lost its former splendor and brilliance because it has not been repaired for many years, it has become a paradise compared to the dilapidated houses of Fangcai.

"Jinyi Wei General Banner Jun Qinglan, meet the Marquis of Changxing."

Jun Qinglan stood in the courtyard and shouted loudly and clearly. She said with great force, and she believed that those who should have heard it must have heard it.

However, no one in the room replied for a long time, not even a minute of movement, and remained silent.

Jun Qinglan stepped forward and slowly entered the main house. The first thing that catches your eye is a huge ink painting hanging on the wall. On the scroll, a beautiful flying fairy and a coiled dragon danced in the sea of clouds, and beside her was a man with a majestic body. The man turned his back to the sea of clouds, couldn't see his face clearly, and was sitting upright on the brocade stool with his head down and stroking the piano. The wind swept the other black hairs and flew like silk. The years are quiet, and a pair of fairies are beautiful.

However, behind this harmonious sea of clouds, a dark shadow faintly revealed. Jun Qinglan stepped forward and was about to take a closer look, when she suddenly saw a large porcelain bowl thrown at her.

"Get out!" The man's voice soared into the sky.
