Chapter 182 Secret Passage Mechanism

Li Zhi's move has another deep meaning, he was brought over by Zuo Yun, he wanted to help him consolidate the relationship between them, no matter how close this person is to the Ming Palace, it is not as good as his position in the eyes of the Ming Palace.

In this way, it is equivalent to telling him that he and Zuo Yun are already his own family, and no matter which party will understand it, it will be much smoother in the future.

Sure enough, Zuo Yun smiled and said, "I just got off work tonight and was going to go, so you asked someone to wrap up and take me with you." Hey, Mrs. Yu's handwriting, but it's a rare treasure, and the old man has two shots! ”

He instantly glanced at Li Zhigao in his heart, he had been in Chang'an City for a long time, and he could come into contact with too many palace secrets, and he knew what kind of status the Hanlin Department had in the current dynasty.

It is rumored that Taiwei Yu, who never gives away large characters easily, has two shots, which undoubtedly has won Li Zhi over.

Sending Zuo Yun and his party away, the king of Linhuai County was a little unhappy, "Wouldn't it be better for me to send those two characters?" You can count on someone to accept your brother's marriage! ”

Li Zhile said, "Our family still needs to borrow foreign things?" Besides, Li Yi hasn't written a word about it, how much do you know about those two women? Don't need to dig deeper? ”

"It's really such a situation, not only does he have the initiative in the Ming Palace, but our family also has to choose a daughter-in-law! Let's go and take a look, take you there, I'll ask someone to check it!" ”

"Don't worry, Qingqi and they always have to bring it, and your entourage should also shout, right?"

Not long after, the three daughters of Qingqi came together, followed by Master Liu, Granny Xia, Aunt Yu Ling and others, put on the carriage and went all the way.

It's only three miles each way, and it doesn't take much time even if you walk, and you can see that there are Janissaries guarding the intersection in a blink of an eye.

It was not a place where ordinary cars and horses could pass, but with the advance greeting and Li Zhi's token, the guards were busy opening the line.

The courtyard covers an area of two acres, is located on the south side of the palace wall opposite the Xingqing Palace, there are walls all around, only one wall has a door, communicates with the street, there are ditches on both sides of the street, there are rows of locust trees, elm trees, a large number of weeping willows in the palace city, the courtyard and the Xingqing Palace are connected into a whole, so that their own momentum is stained with a lot of majestic.

In the Guangliang gate, the building grade is extremely high, the scale, style, and layout are all in strict accordance with the feudal ritual system of the building, which is divided into two front yards and back yards, and enters, the main courtyard is seven rooms in the high house, and five rooms in the back, and two bedrooms, all of which are large-area room types, which can be used for many people.

The front yard is the front hall, the middle hall, the back hall a total of seven, the total number of people's houses is not limited, but the main house can not exceed three, obviously here is designed as a place for government affairs, the corresponding stone lions outside the door, lampposts, tethered horse piles, horse stones, and the huge shadow wall opposite the door, all show that this place is unusual.

"There is an iron shelf behind the door, just cover the steps outside the door, which can be used for carriages and horses, and our silver two vehicles can be directly loaded and unloaded, with a high degree of security and confidentiality!" Master Liu praised.

Li Zhi nodded, "Not only that, no matter how big the carriage is, it can also bypass this shadow wall, obviously it is a special cage vehicle for the DPRK, which is just convenient for us!" Moreover, there are no certain rules for the front and rear courtyards to lead to the two roads, which can be freely configured, and can be arranged to accommodate at least seven or eight vehicles for storage at the same time. The main courtyard and backyard have the north room and the east and west matching rooms, all of which are built with huge stone barriers, and the one-foot-thick iron door is also used as a library door! ”

"Little Hou Ye, this courtyard is really suitable for the use of the warehouse, it is the place where the prisoners were held before, will there be some bad luck? Businessmen are very particular about this! ”

"Hahaha, I don't care about that. Besides, this is not really a prison nature, it is only used for temporary interrogation, and there is only a little bit of bad luck, and the dignified Xingqing Palace opposite is not a decoration, full of endless luxury and majesty, and it can't be suppressed? ”

"Also, regardless of the nature of feng shui and existence, the royal palace is the residence of the Emperor of Heaven, and the correspondence between heaven and man will only make the luck and wealth here prosper forever!"

Wang Le of Linhuai County came, "You two will comfort yourself!" However, there is also a great truth, but I think it is also right to burn some yellow mounted paper in advance to worship it, and to be sincere, to keep the precepts and cultivate blessings, and to respect and hold on to it is the right principle! ”

Master Liu nodded again and again, "I'll arrange it, I can't miss the trial tonight!" ”

"Don't worry, go to the backyard and take a look, there are several secret north rooms, spacious enough, all protection means are in place, there is no problem as the main warehouse! And it seems that there are some secret channels inside, let's see if it can come in handy in the future! Okay, I'm going back, all the keys are already left! ”

Sending off the king of the county to leave, the girls also turned back, Pang Cry patted his little chest and muttered: "Brother Zhengwen, I wanted to go to the backyard garden to see, there are a lot of precious flowers!" Who knew that before he stepped in, he was dragged back by his mother-in-law, but it turned out that there was a row of traps under the wall, hidden in the weeds! ”

Granny Xia explained, "Not only under the wall, but also the stone steps and passages have their own mechanisms, but they have been closed, and it is likely that there is another place to open!" ”

"Haha," Li Zhi smiled in surprise, "It's really well guarded!" This courtyard that Lord Jun Wang has found is destined to become our treasury, and there is no more suitable place than here! ”

When everyone went to the backyard, a stone door in the north room was displayed in front of people, the door was hewn out of a boulder, and the faΓ§ade was painted black, and some symbols carved above the stone door looked like cursive Chinese characters, but they could not be read according to Chinese characters at all.

The stone door under the symbol, there is an iron lock tightly locked and cast into the large iron ring of the door, through the narrow iron edge windows on both sides, the inside is spacious, there seems to be nothing else, in the middle position, there is a huge white marble platform, carved with the painted relief of the king of heaven, although the age is old, the painted color is no longer bright, but the fierce appearance, there is still a kind of power.

"And you say it's not a prison cell?" Master Liu muttered in a low voice.

Li Zhi was straight, "Didn't Lord Junwang say that it would be good to burn some yellow mounted paper for sacrifice, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, where did so much bad luck come from!" ”

Someone stepped forward to open the giant iron lock, and a musty smell came to his face, Li Zhi stopped a few people who were eager to see it, and stopped outside the door for a moment before entering the door.

Inside the door is a dark and empty space, and the walls are made of black marble, which has a characteristic mottled appearance because of its age.

The same black marble protrusion is highlighted not far from the stone gate, no matter how others enter to check, Li Zhili has been observing for a long time in that room, and he has a true qi to detect his perception, and he gradually understands the purpose.

He stretched out his hand to push one of the handles, and there was a sense of balance being broken and vibrating from the garden outside the door, and with the creaking sound, Li Zhi leaned out to look, and several depressions in the garden appeared, and when he stepped forward, he saw several underground black holes several feet deep appear.

Behind him, Master Liu lit a clump of hay and put it in it, and dense sharp objects appeared at the bottom of the hole.

"The stone bar at the entrance of this cave can be twitched back and forth, once opened, the trap will appear, and there should be a cover in the house!" Li Zhi turned around and walked back to look for it, and saw more than a dozen wooden flaps standing at the root of a wall.

I pulled a piece back and tried it, just to cover the hole, and the surface coating was very similar to the stone on the ground.

Returning to the room again, pulling down the previous trap, closing the other ones, Master Liu went out to check it and said: "All of them are similar traps, but the shape and size are different, only the traps under the inner wall are not controlled by the mechanism, and they belong to the fixed form arrangement on the bright surface!" ”

Li Zhi turned around and called out to everyone, took them outside and pointed them out one by one, "In the future, this garden can't be easily approached, especially at night, don't approach a single step!" ”

Pang Qijiao reminded in a coquettish voice: "Brother Zhengwen, I want those flowers, and there are several kinds of ancestors who don't have them in the courtyard!" ”

Li Zhi turned to look at Master Liu, "Old man, you go and prepare the yellow mounting paper, and then arrange some people who know the bottom to come over, and buy thirty flower pots in the workshop by the way." ”

Returning to the room and pulling down various organs, Li Zhicai led Pang Qi back to the garden, "Why are these flowers equivalent to growing in the wild, and no one is managing them, why are they still growing so well?" ”

"There must be a similar spring in the garden pool, and it is well sheltered from the wind, and the sun does not affect it, so it is normal that it is so well preserved!" Pang Qi observed left and right for a long time.

"That's not right!" Li Zhi whispered to her a hint, "Cry, don't you think there is a faint aura in these dozens of flowers and plants?" Try your true qi, although it is not yet fully at the mercy of the call, but it is also interested in spiritual matter! ”

Pang Cry's face showed a strange look, and Qingqi and Yuran saw the abnormality, and they came forward to explore, but were stopped by Li Zhi with his fingers lightly, so as not to disturb Pang Cry's perception.

It didn't take long for the little girl to look back and look happy, "Brother, it's really true!" Originally, I couldn't mobilize that trace of true qi at all, but who would have thought that it might be the existence of perceptual aura, and it actually listened to me! Moreover, I soon felt a faint fairy aura like it, which should have come from the ground of the flower bed! ”

Li Zhi nodded and looked at Qingqi and the others, "Let's not make a noise, we will dig these flowers and plants ourselves in a while, and the treasures inside are very likely not ordinary objects!" ”

The three goddesses immediately became excited, but under the signal of Li Zhi's eyes, they quickly reined in.

There were a few outsiders and coachmen who came with him, he summoned Granny Xia and Aunt Yu Ling, and talked about the matter in detail, he didn't want to hide it from the two of them, and he couldn't hide it.

The two of them didn't have true qi in their bodies, so they naturally couldn't understand what kind of aura existed, but seeing that Li Zhi was so mysterious and secretive, they also knew that there was something good about that object.

Back in the huge warehouse, in another small room connected to it, another mechanism was discovered by Li Zhi, but it was a stone brick placed on the ground of the handover building.

Lifting the stone bricks, there is also a protruding handle, press hard, and a three-foot-wide gap appears on the ground on the side of the corner, and when you look at it, there is a row of steps extending to the ground.

"It's a secret passage!" Granny Xia exclaimed.

"I'll go down and see, and keep the door so that no one can see it!" Li Zhi ignored the obstruction of a few people, and approached step by step in the dark.

The people above waited for two tea times before Li Zhi's voice returned, and when he returned to the room, he closed the mechanism before he smiled and said: "There is nothing unusual inside, it is a secret passage leading to the second east room, I think it is to close the door in case the people who are detained here and prevent the outsiders from entering, right?" It's not much of a use. Let's go to the East House, where I haven't closed the mechanism yet! ”

The east house is a very inconspicuous position, far away from the two halls in front, but it is like an ordinary firewood house, and the face is dilapidated and much simpler.

No matter the front and back yards, there is not a single tree shadow swaying like Ouchi, all the green plants are very low and sparse, only the garden is verdant, but it is still full of dangers.

Beyond the high wall is the spacious street, where the architectural features are like the layout of the East City, which is divided into different areas, all the large and small buildings are similar to the magnificent Xingqing Palace, revealing the solemn atmosphere of the mansions one after another, and the yellow corner towers and red city walls create an atmosphere and artistic conception that are far away, and are well integrated with the architectural features.

There are always bright or secret patrols on the streets, and the surrounding environment is quiet and almost silent, which is very different from the kind of merchants gathered in the east market across the west street, and the lively scene of rare gatherings!
