Zhuang Sheng, Yun Yun and Luo Er followed together, the closer they got closer, the more nervous they became, the road was only eight or nine miles, but the three of them were as difficult as trekking through the desert.

"Here we are." Zhuang Sheng looked up at the eaves, and a little fine sweat appeared on his forehead.

"The place where this house is located is quiet," Su Beicheng said, "It seems that Young Master Zhuang is also a person who likes quietness." ”

Zhuang Sheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "Luo'er, open the door." ”

Luo'er went to open the lock, pushed it open, and made a "squeak..." sound.

Zhuang Sheng stood and could only pray that Fan Lusheng would be blessed with a great life. He looked at Yun Yun, his eyes were full of helplessness and guilt, Yun Yun shook her head, she knew that this was the maximum she and her brother could do.

Fan Lusheng was alarmed, he thought that whenever someone came in, he didn't go through the gate, and some people went in and out through the back door, at this time the door opened and made a sound, and he vaguely heard the noise of people, he immediately noticed it, turned over and got out of bed, and walked crookedly to the backyard with the sore spot.

"Go in." Zhuang Sheng stood in front of the gate and said.

"You go." Liu Yan instructed Zhang Ying.

Zhang Ying took a dozen people into the house and went to all sides, and the rest of Pengzhou, Su Beicheng, and Liu Yan followed Zhang Yan to a room, which was not as cold and quiet as other idle houses, and had a bit of life - the bedding was opened; The remnants of tea were still steaming hot on the table; The traces of oil stains dripping from the pedals are clear.

Liu Yan reached out and touched the futon, there was still residual heat, frowned, and wanted to say but felt inconvenient to say.

This house was much smaller than Zhuangfu, and within a moment, the officers and soldiers came back to report after searching.

"I searched the corners that I could see, the dark compartments that I could hide, and I didn't find anyone, but... There was also a room that was not searched and did not dare to enter. Zhang Ying said.

The people rushed over and passed through a room, which was connected to another, but this room had only opened one door and no windows, and it was pitch black on both sides, and there were cabinets, tables, shelves, and so on.

Zhuang Sheng didn't know where Fan Lusheng was hiding, but he definitely didn't hide in it, this room was connected to the secret room, only he and the Taoist knew how to open it, and there was a female ice corpse lying in the secret room, she must not be known by anyone.

"Why don't you open the windows here?" Su Beicheng asked.

"I don't want to drive." Zhuang Sheng knew that they would not give up, and said hoarsely, "Luo'er, light the candle." ”

Luo Er lit the candle, the room was a little brighter, Yun Yun felt uneasy, and thought wildly, if it wasn't for Zhuang Sheng, she didn't know that he had trembled slightly in panic.

"What is this?" Liu Yan squatted down, took the candle and leaned over to look, "It's blood!" ”

Zhuang Sheng was stunned for a moment, thinking that he must have been here, but when he saw that there was no road here, he left again! He broke his wounds, left blood stains, and where did he go?

"Young Master Zhuang." Su Beicheng shouted, pulling him back from his trance, Zhuang Sheng woke up and grinned.

"There's a dark room!" Peng Zhou said.

Several people gathered and blocked the door of the secret room, and under the dim light, no one saw the horror and uneasiness in Zhuang Sheng's eyes.

"Young Master Zhuang, can you open it?"

"I can't." He blurted out.

"What?"

"No, here...... Ye shall not enter. ”

"Why?"

"No why, even if I harbor an assassin, he will never be here." Zhuang Sheng walked quickly and protected the big stone door of the secret room.

Yun Yun froze in place, she didn't know why her brother was desperately protecting this secret room, but she saw a faint candlelight in his eyes.

"Young Master Zhuang, I just said that even if the rebels are found, this matter still has nothing to do with your mansion."

"I don't care about any rebel, he's not here, not there! You can search anywhere but here. ”

Liu Yan would only be more convinced that the assassin was inside, but he couldn't, he would rather not capture the assassin.

"Young Master Zhuang, you might as well—" Su Beicheng tried to persuade him.

"No, it's useless to say anything, this place must not be entered." Zhuang Sheng turned his face away indifferently.

After a stalemate for a long time, several people looked at each other, and Peng Zhou said: "Old General Zhuang is loyal and dedicated to the imperial court, and he will never allow the rebels to hide in his own house. ”

"That can't either." Zhuang Sheng's eyes were red, his eyes were like torches, and he looked directly at Pengzhou.

Liu Yan thought about it for a long time, wanting to end all this, but he didn't want to take responsibility, so he asked softly: "Master Peng, how sure are you that there are rebels in this secret room?" ”

"At least ninety percent, just by this bloodstain and the signs in that house, he must be in this mansion, and except for this secret room, he has already searched all over the house, is he flying away from the sky if he is not here?"

"In that case, it's better to force it open, if the rebels are caught, they won't have anything to say."

"What if not?" Pengzhou is still a little weak-hearted.

"It depends on whether Master Peng dares to bet on this."

Peng Zhou thought for a long time, nodded his head, and Liu Yan instructed Zhang Yan to call in a few people to hold Zhuang Sheng.

"Can't!" Zhuang Sheng was shocked and broke free from them, "Can't enter!" ”

"Stop!" Yun Yun also ran over and pulled, "Let go of my brother!" ”

Luo Er was on the side, dumbfounded and at a loss.

Zhang Ying is not good at doing it to a little girl, and besides, she is Miss Zhuangfu, and she doesn't know what to do.

"Boom-"

Suddenly there was a noise outside.

And they all went out to see.

"Make it easy for you to find." Just next to the door, under a tree, Fan Lusheng supported the ground with one hand, covered the wound with the other hand and smiled, blood seeping out of his fingers.

Zhuang Sheng rushed out of the house, panting and staring at him incredulously, he deliberately fell from the roof, he could have escaped, but he came back to die.

"Take him!" Liu Yan shouted.

Several people lifted him up, and Fan Lusheng crooked his mouth in pain, but he didn't say a word.

Liu Yan looked around, signaled to Peng Zhou and Su Beicheng, the two nodded, Liu Yan Fang walked in front of Zhuang Sheng, and said: "The assassin has already surrendered to the law, and this matter has nothing to do with your mansion, it is a lot of disturbance and offend." ”

Zhuang Sheng didn't listen to a word, he was just thinking about why Fan Lusheng could leave but didn't leave, he knew that with his crime, once he was caught, he would die.

"Wait." Fan Lusheng struggled and said, "I have a word to tell him." Fan Lusheng looked at Zhuang Sheng.

Pengzhou, Liu Yan, Su Beicheng, and Zhuang Sheng looked at each other.

Su Beicheng nodded, Liu Yan nodded, Zhang Ying let him go, Zhuang Sheng didn't seem to be able to take a step, he only stood, watching him tremble and move over step by step, and finally walked in front of him, in his ear, whispered: "My home, living in Xizhikou, Lusheng Street, Mrs. Lin, give her the letter, what I want to say...... It's all in the letter. ”

"You ......" Zhuang Sheng asked with a hoarse voice, "You believe me?" ”

"I believe that you and Miss Yun are both good people."

Zhuang Sheng pursed his lips, as if smiling instead of smiling, with tears in his eyes.

In the blur in front of him, Fan Lusheng was taken away, and when he left, he turned his head, still smiling, just like the twilight sunset at this time, about to sink, but still emitting residual warmth.

Zhuang Sheng's heart trembled, and a nameless emotion made his heart ache.

Su Beicheng glanced at the direction of the secret room, since Fan Lusheng was not inside, he was thinking about what made Zhuang Sheng do his best not to let people in.

Later, a few said goodbye to each other, and Zhang Ying asked, "What to do with this person?" He pointed to Zheng Gongming.

"Everything happened from him, and everyone was in a difficult situation, and they couldn't be spared!" Liu Yan said.

"The subordinate has an idea."

"What?"

"Lord Cai Ning was killed, there are two suspects, and now there is one, where can I take the other one? Why don't you leave it at that..."

Liu Yan understood, first said to take him to receive the reward silver, to prevent him from shouting on the street, but as soon as he arrived, he immediately ordered someone to take him into custody.

However, two days later, Zheng Gongming was exhausted, coupled with the unbearable onset of drug addiction, he died in the prison cell, wrapped in a roll of cool mats, and buried in the wilderness, no one cared about.

When she got home, Yun Yun was always curious, and couldn't help asking: "Brother, what's in that secret room that makes you desperate to protect it?" ”

"I can't tell, maybe you'll find out later."

"Uh......" Yunyun asked, "I just want to know, whatever is in it is not as important as I am to you, is it?" ”

"Of course." Zhuang Sheng said with a smile.

Yun Yun smiled and was silent.

One day after that, Zhuang Sheng and Yunyun searched for the address for a long time, and finally found Fan Lusheng's wife and wrote to her.

She was a thoughtful-looking, soft-spoken lady, she seemed to know what this letter meant, and when she saw the words "Book with Mrs., Lu Sheng himself" on the cover, her eyes instantly turned red.

"Madame, take care." Zhuang Sheng and Yun Yun could only say such a word of comfort, they didn't have time to see her eyes clearly, and their eyes were already wet, so they turned around and left, there is a lot of pain in this world, everyone has to bear it, they understand.
