Cai Niangzi is just a subordinate, and it is normal for Zhang Twelve Shao not to know that there is such a person, but the strange thing is that even people who have seen her don't know whether she looks beautiful or ugly, old or young.

"The Seventh Girl did live here, and there was indeed a Cai Niangzi by her side at that time. Although Cai Niangzi is a subordinate, she has a very large shelf, and when she accompanied the seventh girl to live in Yaxuan, she never went out of the house. When eating, let the maid put the food in the hall, and after an hour, the maid will go to the hall to put away the dishes and chopsticks. It's the same in the morning and evening, the maid sends the hot water towel to the hall, and Cai Niangzi gives orders through the curtain, more like the master than the seventh girl. Another woman said.

"And no one saw her when she came and when she left?" Hua Jing Yao said strangely.

"I've seen it, but she's wearing a power fence, and she looks like a lady from a certain family, and she's afraid that we'll see it, hum!" Obviously, Yaxuan's subordinates are talking about this Cai Niangzi behind their backs.

There are two doors before and after the moon mountain house, the back door is close to the hillside, there is only a narrow path at the door, for the sake of safety, the Zhang family has installed a guardrail on the side of the road, and this path is too narrow, can not pass the carriage, the Zhang family also had to block this door in the early years, leaving only a main gate of the plan, specially invited someone to come over to see the feng shui, only to know that the back door can not move, so it has to give up, but this back door will be closed all year round, even the hawker who sends rice grain does not go this way.

Miao Hong went to the back door to take a look, and learned that although the back door was closed all the year round, there was also a door, and the door was an old man, in addition to guarding the back door, he was also responsible for the sprinkling and cleaning of the backyard.

One day two months ago, Zhang Shanchang came back from outside in the heavy rain, and the next day, Huangshan sent the seven girls back to Shanshui Lane, and Zhang Shanchang was sick, so he lived here for a long time.

"It was raining heavily that day, and the little old man was sheltering from the rain in the gatehouse, and suddenly saw that the two new brooms he had just received were not brought in, so he came out with an umbrella and went to get the broom. It was thundering and raining again, if it weren't for the little old man who happened to come out of the gatehouse, I am afraid that I would not have heard the sound of the door. Xiao Lao'er didn't expect that it was the fourth master who called the door, and the little old man was still strange at that time, such a heavy rain, the fourth master also came from the back door, in case it slipped and slid down the hillside, it would be too dangerous. ”

Miao Hong asked, "Have you been in the gatehouse all the time before it rained?" ”

The old man smiled: "Where does the son say, the back door is not used on weekdays, if the little old man has been in the gatehouse, it is lazy, I won't tell you, in addition to the wind and rain, the little old man is at night, and he goes back to the gatehouse to rest." ”

"That is, you weren't at the back door or in the porter before it rained that day, and if someone went out through the back door, wouldn't you know?" Miao Hong's eyes were blazing, he looked at the old man's head, and when he saw that the old man's eyes were really flickering, he asked again, "Did the door latch open that day?" ”

The old man shrank his neck, and it happened that Hua Jingyao and Zhang Twelve Shao came over, and when they heard this, Zhang Twelve Shao said: "Now what we want to investigate is a homicide case, you tell the truth, with me, I will not pursue you." ”

The old man breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly thanked Zhang Twelve Shao, and then said: "This son is right, as if he saw it with his own eyes." That day, the little old man went to the front yard to get a new broom, and when he came back, he saw that the latch of the back door was opened from the inside, and there was still a crack in the door, the little old man didn't think much about it at the time, although everyone walked the front door on weekdays, but there was no dead rule that the back door would not let go, but the back door was too dangerous here, and no one would go through the back door if they could go through the front door. Therefore, when the fourth master came to call the door, the little old man thought that the one who went out of the back door before should be the fourth master. ”

Hua Jingyao looked at Miao Hong, but found that Miao Hong was also looking at her, and they had already thought at this time that the person who went out from the back door was not Zhang Shanchang, but Xiuxiu.

Zhang Twelve Shao waved his hand to let the old man retreat, and he asked: "Miss Huada, I have asked everything that should be asked, do you think you are digging in the mountain house now, or digging on the back slope?" ”

Hua Jingyao burst out laughing, it was the first time she had encountered Zhang Twelve Shao like this, and she couldn't wait to dig up the corpse from her yard immediately.

"You'd love to dig up your yard?" Hua Jingyao asked.

Zhang Twelve Shao was serious: "A hundred-year-old garden like my family will have some secrets more or less, if this garden is Miss Huada's, you will also be curious." ”

Hua Jingyao shook her head into a rattle: "I'm not curious, I'm really not curious." ”

"I'm curious." Zhang Twelve Shao said softly.

"But", Hua Jingyao suddenly remembered something, she said, "The Twelfth Young Master is right, this kind of old mansion will have some secrets more or less, as far as you know, is there a secret room or anything like that in the Moon Occultation Mountain House?" ”

Zhang Twelve's robe sleeves fluttered, his clothes fluttered, and he strode forward, and as he walked, he said, "Go to Yaxuan to find it." ”

Jiang Houde and several of his subordinates knocked here and there in Yaxuan, looked for about half an hour, and found nothing. In the end, Zhang Twelve Shao personally went out and not only found a secret room, but also found a secret passage in that secret room.

Hua Jingyao admired the Twelfth Young Master who revealed his family's secrets, and asked, "How did the Twelfth Young Master find it?" ”

Zhang Twelve Shao shook the folding fan in his hand with a smug face: "Our ancestors of the Zhang family are proficient in Qimen Dunjia, and they are not talented, and they have also learned some fur. ”

Everyone walked along the dark passage, and when they came out of the dark passage, they found that this was actually Fengyang Academy!

"This secret passage shouldn't have been dug by Shan Chang Zhang, right?" Hua Jingyao couldn't help but say.

"No", Zhang Twelve Shao shook his head and said, "This should have been there when the mountain house or Fengyang Academy was built, whether it was the mountain house or the Fengyang Academy, it was all in the Zhang family, not the fourth uncle's personal property, even if he wanted to dig the secret way, it was impossible to be unaware, and he had already been discovered." However, he should have known about the existence of this secret passage very early, so every time he came to the mountain house, he lived in Yaxuan. I just don't know if there is a secret passage in only Yaxuan, or if there is a secret passage in all the courtyards of the Hidden Moon Mountain House. Alas, I have to come a few more times and explore every yard. ”

Hua Jingyao heard full of excitement from Zhang Twelve's last sentence, this is to regard her mountain house as a fun place to explore, this Zhang family ...... If it is really the ninth son of the dragon, Zhang Shanchang and Young Master Zhang are the same ancestor, why is there no half-similarity except for the surname Zhang?
