Chapter 424: Acting is a Basic Skill
[The second update, ask for a monthly pass! ] 】
The entrance to the secret passage in the cellar of Ning Mo's house was not open, but it didn't take much time to straighten out the secret passage, and it didn't take long for the bright stars to light up in the narrow passage.
After entering the secret passage, Tang Zheng and Xu Qingyan walked all the way inside, without saying a word.
Although they knew that there was such a secret passage to the City Lord's Mansion, they had no idea where the exit of this secret passage was!
If they are unlucky, they may even be able to get out directly from under Lu Tianji's nose......
That kind of god unfolding, it's so interesting!
It's a pity that Tang Zheng is just teasing in his heart, of course, he can't really let that happen.
He had been calculating the straight-line distance from the City Lord's Mansion to Ning Mo's house, and when the length of their walk in the secret passage had exceeded this distance, he was completely alert.
Because, from now on, it is very likely that they have already reached the vicinity of the City Lord's Mansion, or even below the City Lord's Mansion.
Any bit of sound above was not let go by Tang Zheng.
Originally, Tang Zheng didn't expect to hear any sound from such a deep underground, but he didn't expect that the secret passage didn't seem to be deep from the surface, and there were so many sounds from above, so much that Tang Zheng needed to reduce his speed to distinguish them.
"Seventeenth Master, you asked the slave family to come over yesterday, just to read an account book?" A soft woman's voice.
Tang Zheng immediately ignored the past.
Then, it seemed that in the backyard, the voice of the steward was reprimanding the handyman. It's not valuable.
"Scared me to death, I really thought I was going to die yesterday."
"Luckily I didn't run. A few of them ran away, and were caught by adults and hanged. ”
"It seems to be a misunderstanding. It's just that our City Lord's Mansion doesn't seem to have a grudge against Yisu Academy, why do you suddenly want to frame us? ”
Tang Zheng and Xu Qingyan both stopped to listen to these little girls.
However, they didn't seem to know what was going on, and they really thought that Lu Tianji was innocent, but if Lu Tianji's charges were confirmed, they would probably not be able to live without knowing it.
This is probably a troubled world that cannot control its own destiny. The sorrow of the little people.
Boom.
Tang Zheng continued to walk forward while thinking about the information revealed in the words of those maids, but he didn't expect to hit his head if he wasn't careful.
When he looked again, Xu Qingyan next to him had stopped.
There is no road ahead!
There is no road, but there is no exit.
Tang Zheng immediately thought of one thing he had overlooked before-Lu Tianji didn't know about this secret passage, it must be because the exit had already been dealt with by the half-demon of the shark carp clan, and it was more likely that it was a one-off, although they were able to enter the secret passage. But not necessarily to get out.
"Go back the way you came?" Xu Qingyan asked.
"No, no, no," Tang Zheng shook his head, "I'll hear again...... Just find the right place and just smash it out. It's not a big deal. ”
"Hmm." Xu Qingyan didn't ask what the "right place" was, just waited for Tang Zheng's instructions.
Tang Zheng walked back again, moving back and forth.
Xu Qingyan didn't say anything. I've been waiting quietly like this.
After about a quarter of an hour, Tang Zheng stopped walking. He said in a low voice: "Qingyan, you listen to me!" Lu Tianji's fifteenth uncle's third concubine got together with the seventeenth uncle. That concubine is the daughter of Mr. Accounts, the third brother of Lu Tianji, Mr. Accounts knew about this distress and told his good friend, that is, Lu Tianji's housekeeper Hu Steward, but his son told him that Hu Steward's brother-in-law told a person named Lin Jin, Lin Jin had been engaged to the eldest daughter of Uncle Seventeen before, and later repented of his marriage, he married a concubine of Lu Tianji's fourth brother, and that concubine had a handkerchief with Lu Jiao'er, the granddaughter of the fifteenth uncle, so, heh...... Now our bookkeeper is in a panic. ”
Xu Qingyan nodded expressionlessly: "Got it." Then find out the location of the account room in the courtyard of Lu Tianji's third brother, and then go up. “
"I'll go, I'll just say it once!" Tang Zhengdao.
"Do you need to listen to it many times?" Xu Qingyan's poker face showed a shallow question.
……
The entire secret passage almost ran through most of the City Lord's Mansion, but it didn't pass through the place where the Young City Lord lived, so Tang Zheng didn't hear any news about the Young City Lord.
I can only settle for the next best thing and find someone who can be used to "ask for directions".
That person, they chose Mr. Bookkeeper.
Tang Zheng and they listened for a while under the place they needed, found a relatively quiet place, and broke through the ground.
Neither of them used star power, so the movement was not particularly large.
It's just that the place that broke out of the ground is a bit unpleasant......
Thatched huts.
After Tang Zheng dealt with the traces, he let out a breath of bad luck, identified the direction a little, and walked towards the account room with Xu Qingyan.
In the current bookkeeper, there is only one bookkeeper!
Tang Zheng and Xu Qingyan went in directly and covered his mouth: "Don't make a sound." ”
The bookkeeper stared in horror and could not speak, but nodded desperately.
"We just found out about your daughter, Lin Jin will say it sooner or later, you don't have much time. However, she is also helpless between the two masters...... Now, we only need you to do one thing for us, and we will help you go away right away. Tang Zhengyi said rhetorically.
"Do...... Do what? Mr. Ledger, who had already panicked about this matter, asked with red eyes as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
"It's nothing, just take us and walk under the window of the young city lord." Tang Zhengdao.
"Under the window? Just a trip? That's all......" Mr. Bookkeeper looked inexplicable, "Why?" ”
"Then it's not something you need to manage." Tang Zheng said with a smile.
The bookkeeper looked very entangled, on the one hand, he was very worried, because Lin Jin and the seventeenth master had a hatred of repentance. It's very easy to talk about it, until that time. He and his daughter will definitely be put to death.
However, whether these two people can be trusted or not. He wasn't sure.
"The City Lord's Mansion is now locked down, can you find someone else to save you?" Tang Zheng broke his last line of defense with a word.
"That'...... All right! The bookkeeper replied in a daze, "It's just a trip, and it's not a big deal......
Tang Zheng and Xu Qingyan glanced at each other again.
They heard it right in the secret passage, there are still many people in this City Lord's Mansion who don't know what happened at all!
Their luck is good, too!
If this bookkeeper's position was a little higher, he would definitely know that going to the young city lord's window at this time would already be a big deal!
……
In the room of the young city lord. That "Lu Wantang" has already fallen asleep.
He slept in a daze, but it seemed that he heard the sound of Suo Suo not far away.
If you listen closely, it seems that several people are talking.
"What are you doing so carefully? When the dust settles, he'll be dead. ”
"How can I serve very carefully, he is not satisfied with that, he treats himself as a serious person, what can I do?"
"He's been too involved in this anyway. There is too much to know. I hope it's over soon, he's been killed, and we'll be free......"
"Wait slowly, I'm afraid it's not something that can be done in a day or two. He has a few more days to live. ”
"Lu Wantang", who had been sleeping in a daze, woke up from the bed at once, and listened to the conversation outside. It's just two dog minions!
He recalled all the people who had not served him well during the day. Later, I found out that he recalled that these were used for wool!
Originally. He's going to be killed!
That's right...... They are right, he is not Lu Tianji's own son, he is a fake, and he knows so much, as long as Lu Tianji gets rid of his crimes, what use do you want him?
Could it be that Lu Wantang, who still takes him seriously, has been raising him?
Joke!
Extinguishing ...... Extinguishing ...... Extinguishing ......
These two words kept circling in his mind, and he wanted to shout them out loud, but this was the City Lord's Mansion, and there were people from Lu Tianji everywhere, as long as he showed the slightest abnormality, I was afraid that he would not be able to survive for a few days!
And the bookkeeper looked at Tang Zheng and the two of them strangely, what they said under Lu Wantang's window was obviously deliberate, but there was no amount of information for him.
What is not satisfied, what is serious, what is extinguished?
I don't understand it at all!
Tang Zheng smiled and said to Xu Qingyan, "How did you do it?" There is no expression on his face, but the words he says can be so presentable? ”
"He can't see our faces, so we don't need to move." Xu Qingyan replied indifferently.
"I'm skeptical that when you need to move your face...... Can you move? It can't be stiff, right? Don was joking.
Xu Qingyan ignored him, just turned around and pulled out the belt of the bookkeeper, turned his backhand, and broke his neck very lightly......
His whole movement was so smooth that even Tang Zheng hadn't reacted yet.
"I hung him up in the account room and left a suicide note. You go to 'Lu Wantang' to talk about the life you want to talk about. Xu Qingyan didn't drag his feet, turned his head and left.
"Can you still keep his suicide note?" Tang Zheng felt more and more that Xu Qingyan's multi-functional strategy attribute was over, although they hadn't had time to sit down and talk about why he suddenly felt unwell in Leng Xianyuan's cemetery......
"Wrap it up, little things." Xu Qingyan's figure had disappeared into the night.
Tang Zheng took a deep breath.
This fake Lu Wantang is not Lu Tianji's own son in the end, his side is very careless, and most of the night, only two little girls are sitting and napping at the door.
Under the cover of night, Tang Zheng easily flipped into Lu Wantang's bedroom......
"Whew...... It's a bit stressful. Tang Zheng smiled in his heart, they have done so much, in fact, they can say that they have not done anything, because whether they can break this deadlock in the end depends on what results he can talk about life with Lu Wantang!
――――――
Well, these two chapters are poorly written. I've been paying attention to Wang Yuanzong's affairs today, and my mood and state are a little affected, hehe, although Guoguo writes a happy article, he is actually a pessimistic fool......
I can only say that I am sincerely grateful to the readers who support the original and genuine in the face of bullets, and with a group of paid readers like you, we can be a little better than those who do music and photography, and maybe we can struggle for a few more years in this disgusting copyright environment, right?
(To be continued......)
