Chapter 173: Underground Secret Room
Yan Xiucheng has always been more vigilant when sleeping, usually the slightest wind and grass, he will wake up, in modern terms, in fact, it is not good sleep, but with his position, he has to beware of competitors, sworn enemies in the same city, and also guard against internal ghosts, if he wants to sleep peacefully, I am afraid it is also difficult.
And the reason why he sleeps alone in the study is that he doesn't trust the people around him, including several wives and concubines, including the maids who wait at the door in the main room, waiting to serve him at any time.
Today, in order to accompany Fan Yongdou, Yan Xiucheng specially prepared the local famous wine calamus wine, which is slightly yellow and green in color, clear and crystalline, fragrant smell, mellow, medicinal and wine aroma coordination, sweet in the entrance, slightly medicinal taste, mellow and refreshing, sweet but not greasy, refreshing after drinking, not easy to get drunk.
Yan Xiucheng himself loves this wine very much, and usually drinks two glasses, Fan Yongdou is also full of praise when he drinks it, this is most of the time and the day is really more, so he rarely has a good night's sleep.
After Zhiwen threw him into the air with both hands, that momentary weightlessness made Yan Xiucheng react in a daze.
In normal times, not to mention that someone put his hand under him, even when Zhiwen opened the window, the faint sound was enough to alarm him.
Yan Xiucheng woke up a little from his slumber, and as soon as he became a little conscious, his mouth and the back of his head were each covered by one hand, and his reaction after drinking was already slow, and the other party's movements were swift, and soon his mouth was stuffed with rags, and his hands and feet were tied up.
It wasn't until the other party put him lightly on the ground that Yan Xiucheng realized that someone had come in the room and he was tied up.
Yan Xiucheng reluctantly opened his eyes that were covered with eye feces, and the other party actually didn't seal his eyes, looking at their figures, and didn't cover his head and face, he wasn't afraid of being looked at by him?
Not good! Thinking of this, Yan Xiucheng's heart tightened, he was not afraid of being seen by him, either the other party was strong enough to be afraid of him at all, in Pujie and Liangzhou, only Zhou Chengyun and those two old men had this kind of strength, but weren't they too busy to deal with him, could it be that they deliberately confused themselves?
Another possibility is that these people who came in tonight didn't want to stay alive at all, and only in this way were they not afraid of his future revenge.
There were two figures in the room, their faces could not be seen clearly in the dark, and they were a little short, and they were taking down the books one by one, as if they were looking for something.
After a moment, one of them shook his head slightly, and the two walked to another row of bookshelves, continuing to repeat the action, but it still seemed to be fruitless.
What are they looking for? Yan Xiucheng was a little nervous, he had done a lot of shady things over the years, and there would be no shortage of relevant credentials in the study, if he was found by these two people, even if he was lucky enough to survive tonight, he would not be able to escape the fate of being left by others in the future.
The two of them were not reconciled when they didn't find what they wanted, and began to rummage through various cabinets, even the vases and inkstones on the desk, they all picked them up and looked at them, and shook their heads and put them down.
Yan Xiucheng was a little confused at this time, he didn't know what the two were looking for, if they were looking for confidential documents, they should have flipped through the book carefully, but they didn't do it.
If he was looking for Yinliang (although he thought the idea was unlikely), wouldn't it be more reliable to torture him with vases and inkstones?
When one of them took out a small stick and began to bang on the wall, and listened carefully, Yan Xiucheng suddenly understood, and couldn't help but feel relieved.
These two people are looking for a secret room, hum, is their secret room so easy to find? If you hadn't drunk and slept to death today, even if you two were restrained, there would be a way to escape, and then warn the outside world and catch turtles in an urn.
No, Yan Xiucheng suddenly remembered that he was not subdued in bed, but tied up after being thrown out of bed, so these two people are experts? Then his secret room will be hanging.
By the way, how did they get in? Yanjia Village does not release people into the city, is it an internal ghost?
It's not right, with the two of them, even if they find the secret room, how many things can they take, could it be that Yanjiacun has already been broken in this short period of time when he was drunk?
Thinking of this, Yan Xiucheng couldn't help but sweat coldly, and the residual alcohol woke up all at once.
"Xiaojie, do you have a clue?" Zhiwen didn't want to ask, but the time had been delayed a lot, and he was really in a hurry.
Xiao Jie shook his head, his face was covered with beads of sweat, he had searched for all the places he should have looked, and there was still no clue, could it be that the entrance to the secret room was not in the study? If you're not here, you're in trouble.
But looking at the urine nature of this old boy, he sleeps here alone every day, and if the entrance is somewhere else, can he rest assured?
It turned out to be two chicks, as soon as Zhiwen spoke, Yan Xiucheng could tell from his immature voice that these two people were still young, but he was even more panicked, the two teenagers could touch his study, and he didn't know what the chaos was outside.
Zhiwen couldn't wait, hurriedly walked to Yan Xiucheng's side, stretched out his hand to grab him, it seemed that he still had to fall on this person, the reason why he didn't kill him just now was because he was afraid that Xiao Jie wouldn't find it.
"Wait," Xiao Jie's face was happy, and Zhiwen stopped and asked, "Why did you throw him out of bed just now?" ”
"Hmm," Zhiwen scratched his head, "I'm afraid he has a mechanism in bed." ”
That's right, why didn't you think of it, I forgot to remind Xiaojie.
As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Jie had already run to the side of the bed, and pushed the futon away a few times, revealing the smooth board below, it turned out that the old boy was not sleeping on the kang, no wonder there were several braziers in the house.
On the right hand side of the position where Yan Xiucheng was lying just now, there was a fairly obvious bulge.
Xiao Jie stood on the bed board, pressed it hard with his hand, "click", a soft sound, the entire bed board collapsed, and the person disappeared.
"Poof!" , and the sound of things falling to the ground was heard below.
Zhiwen was in a hurry, and put his head on the edge of the pit, "Xiao Jie, Xiao Jie!" Are you alright? The questioning was already a little louder.
"It's okay," Xiao Jie's voice came, "It's not high, there's still something to cushion." ”
A fire fold was lit by Xiao Jie, and below it was a small pit, about the size of a bed, a little more than a meter high, and a few fluffy sacks.
Zhiwen jumped down, "No, it's such a big secret room?" ”
The face was full of disappointment, what could be done at such a small level.
"Don't worry." Xiao Jie held the fire fold, walked to a corner, and gently pushed open a door that Zhiwen didn't see, it turned out that there was something else.
The two stepped through the door, stunned by the faint light of the fire.
This underground chamber was far larger than any they had ever seen before, and at a glance, it seemed that they could not see the edge.
"This is to hollow out the entire underground of Yanjia Village." Zhiwen couldn't help muttering to himself.
