Chapter 129: The Mystery of the Secret Room

Hearing that Dongling Luo Xi was not suspicious, Xiao Zhanfei naturally let go: "Lord, since the emperor didn't find a flaw, naturally he doesn't know why you want to save those people in the Dragon Sect, right?"

"Hmm. Tanglin Guyun nodded, "If he knows, it means that the time for the final showdown has come!"

Thinking of the moment when the wind and clouds changed color, Xiao Zhanfei couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart: "Lord Wang, we are close to the final showdown...... How far is it?"

"It won't be too far!" Tanglin Guyun was silent for a moment, and there was a hint of perseverance in his tone, "Zhanfei, we have endured for so many years, and it is destined not to be in vain! One day, we will win the final victory in that big showdown!"

Sure enough, since the incident in the Dharma Field, the people of the Dragon Protector Sect have not made any movement, and the Imperial Capital City has returned to its former calm. Donglin Luo Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but he had a deeper worry in his heart: the reason why these remnants of the former dynasty have calmed down is not that they have been submissive or eradicated, but that they are brewing a bigger conspiracy and want to make a bigger move!

But even if he knew, he didn't know where the Dragon Protector Sect's nest was, and he couldn't do anything if he wanted to send troops to kill him. Now, on the one hand, he can only hope that Tanglin Guyun will find them soon, and on the other hand, he hopes that at least the envoys of the two countries will come to the imperial capital as guests, and these thieves must not come out to join in the fun.

Despite this concern, Tanglin Luoxi lived a few days of peace. However, just a few days later, this hard-won peace was shattered again, and a new situation appeared without warning!

At night, the Imperial Capital City was quiet, there were few voices, and it seemed that everything had fallen into a deep sleep.

After a while, a black figure galloped all the way from the distant rooftop, and after a little discernment of the direction, he leaped down and disappeared in the mansion of Duan Mingzheng, the secretary of the military department.

At this moment, Duan Ming was sleeping soundly, or rather, he could finally sleep with peace of mind. Before, because of those people who spread rumors, he was worried all day long, for fear that the head on the neck would be completely moved at any moment.

Fortunately, King Zhan Dongling Guyun was wise and found out the mastermind behind the scenes, so he was lucky to escape, lest every time he dreamed back at midnight, the dream was full of blood!

However, just as Duan Ming was sleeping soundly, a sharp and rapid chirp suddenly sounded, instantly tearing through the quiet night sky, deafening!

"Not good!"

Duan Mingzheng, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and jumped up with obvious panic and fear on his face! Because the scream came from the mechanism of his secret room, and the secret room not only hid all his possessions, but also some secrets that could not be known! In case those secrets were discovered......

Before he had time to put on his coat, Duan Mingzheng ran out barefoot, shouting loudly as he ran: "Come on!

"Yes, yes, yes!" Duan Mao, the housekeeper, ran over while tying his clothes, "Master, what's going on?"

"You still ask me?!" Duan Mingzheng was angry and anxious, jumping to his feet and shouting, "Someone has broken into the secret room, come with me to take a look!

Duan Mao agreed, and the two immediately rushed to the secret room with the guards who were patrolling the night. But just after running out, he saw a black shadow rushing up to the roof, and he even looked back without fear of death, and from the bulging burden he was carrying, it seemed that he had taken a lot of things. Duan Mingzheng was taken aback, and immediately raised his hand and pointed: "Over there!

"Yes!"

The guards suddenly agreed, but they were all dumbfounded: the roof is so high, can anyone fly up it?

After such a slow effort, the man in black on the roof had already laughed wildly: "Don't work to send friends off, I'm going to say goodbye!"

The word "up" came out, he had already spread his figure and flew out far away, seeing that he couldn't catch up, Duan Mingzheng became more and more angry, and shouted with red eyes: "A bunch of waste! What are you doing in a daze?! Why don't you go back and see what is missing?!"

The guards had no choice but to agree to go and check on the loss of their belongings. Duan Ming didn't care about them, turned around and continued to run in the direction of the secret room, and ordered that no one should follow.

Stumbling to where the secret room was, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the door was still closed. From the end of the corridor to the door of the secret room, this section of the road seems to have nothing abnormal, but in fact, there are many mechanisms under the floor, if you accidentally take a wrong step, you are likely to be shot into a hedgehog, or fall into the sharp knife bush in the trap, there is no chance of survival!

Taking a breath, Duan Mingzheng silently recited the mantra in his heart, and walked forward cautiously, changing directions from time to time, back and forth, left and right, and walked for a long time before he came to the door. He didn't have time to wipe his sweat, so he carefully closed the mechanism on the door of the secret room temporarily, and made sure that there was no one on the left and right, so he pushed the door and walked in, and closed the door with his backhand and restarted the switch. In this way, even if someone tries to enter the door, they will die under the mechanism!

Although this secret room is full of organs, and it is impossible for ordinary people to break into it smoothly, its appearance is extremely ordinary, and anyone who looks at it will think that it is a place where miscellaneous items are piled up. Especially in Shangshu Mansion, where there are many houses, there are too many such places to list, and it is perfect for them to be used as secret rooms.

Entering the secret room, the first thing that catches your eye is a dazzling array of treasures, including porcelain, jade, gold and silverware, etc., which is dazzling, not to mention that there are boxes of gold ingots and silver ingots, which are dazzling everywhere, and its scale is simply a small treasury!

If it weren't for the fact that a small military secretary had not relied on corruption and bribery, how could he have accumulated such a huge fortune?

But now Duan Mingzheng doesn't value these things the most. Kicking open the chest full of treasures on the floor, he ran straight to the most hidden corner of the inner room, opened the dark compartment on the wall three times and twice, and also closed the mechanism before taking out a small box from it. When he opened the box and took out the contents of it, he finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and the cold sweat broke out all over his body: Great! The thing is still there! If this thing is lost, then ......

In fact, the contents of the box are just a thin piece of paper with a few lines written on it, and is it still worth more than the treasures in the room? What is it so important?

Restoring everything to its original state, Duan Mingzheng quietly left the secret room, thinking all the way: What is the origin of the man in black? Is it purely for money, or is it for the things in the box? It would be better if it was purely for money, as long as he gets some benefits, he will probably not take any more risks. But if it's for the contents of the box, he's absolutely commanded! and the person who directs him can only be......

Thinking of the worst possibility, Duan Mingzheng was once again full of excitement, and a panic that he had never felt before instantly surrounded his whole body, making him breathless, like a fish out of water!

No, the man in black had apparently discovered the secret room, and it was no longer safe to keep the box there, and he had to find a more secret place......

"Master, you're back!" Seeing Duan Ming approaching, Duan Mao hurriedly greeted him, and reported with a bitter face, "Master, after taking inventory, the thief just now stole a lot of jewelry from the room of Madame and several young ladies, as well as some antiques in your study......

Duan Mingzheng came back to his senses, his eyes flickering slightly: "Oh, so he's here to steal something?"

"Looks like so. Duan Mao nodded, "Because that person just stole things, he didn't hurt anyone, and he ...... to a few young ladies."

Duan Mao's words were not finished, but Duan Mingzheng understood what he meant: the young ladies were young and beautiful, but the people who came were not interested, obviously just to seek money, and did not intend to rob sex.

Thinking of this, Duan Mingzheng's tense nerves relaxed slightly, and he coughed and said, "It's good that it didn't hurt anyone, since the other party came to steal something, then it should be regarded as a ruin to avoid disaster." Go tell the guards in the house, step up patrols, and keep me awake!"

"Yes, sir!"

Duan Ming was throwing his sleeves away, but he was still a little uneasy: I hope that the people who came here are really for money, but no matter what, we must do everything possible to protect that box!

Leaving the Shangshu Mansion of the Military Department, the man in black galloped all the way with his baggage, and after making sure that there was absolutely no one behind him, he quietly sneaked into the Zhanwang Mansion and slipped into the room of Tanglin Guyun. Seeing that the room was empty, he simply threw down his burden and lay down on the bed, and said to himself: "I'm tired young master! Let's rest first! But Gu Yun, don't accidentally step on the mechanism like me......"

Tanglin Guyun has never stepped on the mechanism, but it is more troublesome than stepping on the mechanism.

Duan Mingzheng is not the only one who is destined to have a bad time tonight, including even Ouyang Xiao, the prime minister who is high and powerful and above 10,000 people under one person.

Although Ouyang Xiao is a very popular minister, he is only more than forty years old. In his prime, he can be regarded as the founding hero of Tanglin Luoxi, participated in the events of that year, and strongly supported Donglin Luoxi to ascend to the throne, so he was entrusted with important tasks.

Because of this, everything in the Prime Minister's Mansion is extremely luxurious, it is simply a miniature version of the palace! Ouyang Xiao feels sorry for himself in every way, and enjoys it to the fullest in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and there are no less than a dozen concubines alone, some of which are even younger than his daughter Ouyang Yuting. It's hard for the prime minister's wife, Han Zhiyi, to have a good stomach, and she never stops it, and she never even competes with those concubines to be jealous, or because she knows very well in her heart that she can't stop it at all.

The night was already deep, Ouyang Xiao naturally would not let go of this beautiful scenery, he was hugging Gangna's little concubine and turning the clouds and rain, and bursts of blushing and heartbeating sounds came out of the gauze tent from time to time, and even the moon in the air couldn't listen to it, and quietly hid in the clouds.

A black shadow silently approached Ouyang Xiao's bedroom, and he was also carrying a bulging burden behind him, obviously gaining a lot.

Hearing the sound coming from the room, the man in black seemed to snort coldly in a low voice, and turned around to go elsewhere. However, at this moment, I suddenly heard a loud shout: "What person?!"
