At this moment, outside a cave near a small pine forest on the right side of Songxiangzhai, Bihu is personally guarding it with a few reliable family members. Su Mengtang has confessed, this morning, all idle people are not allowed to approach here.

This cave is the Hall of the Art of War. Originally, Jiangnan Villa was built according to the mountain, and there were several places that were too steep or treacherous, because the soil was thin, and it was impossible to excavate the foundation and build civil engineering, so the cave was dug for special purposes: the Art of War Hall was one of them, and it was used to interrogate the family or maid who made a mistake in the village.

There are many vines planted on this cave, covering the entrance of the cave as if it were nothing, even if ordinary people pass by, and look inside, it is only pitch black. But if you hold up the torch and walk more than a dozen steps inside, you can see a solid dark iron gate, open the lock on this door to enter, it is a narrow passage, and then walk a dozen steps, you will pass through the iron gate at the end of the passage, and enter a hall about three feet tall and square, which makes people feel suddenly enlightened.

The wall at the top of the hall is carved with a large bowl opening, which can not only illuminate, but also facilitate air circulation. Under the hole is a huge lotus-shaped pool that receives rainwater, and it is a cliff that is rarely visited when viewed from the inside. In such a deep and remote cave, even if the shouts inside are earth-shattering, they cannot be heard outside.

At this moment, Su Mengtang was sitting on the main seat, and behind him stood the maid Ziruo. On the guest chairs on the left and right sides, Zhang Yunhua and Tong Ning'er sat respectively. Tong Ning'er is one year younger than Su Mengtang, but she looks younger, looking sixteen or seventeen years old. She is a typical Gusu woman's appearance, small and delicate, with small and slightly pointed cheeks, a pair of eyes that are extremely clear, usually like a deer. If you look up from her slightly wide forehead, you can see a black hair tied up from the sides of her head, bent into a mustache, wrapped with a red velvet rope, and hanging down to her ears. She was a little thin, and a night gown made of black silk looked a little empty on her.

Although these people did not speak, the sad expression between their eyebrows had suppressed the atmosphere in the Art of War Hall to a very solemn level, and even a little chill surged out of thin air. On the side of the lotus pond not far ahead, there was a woman who looked a little delirious. The woman was in rags, crying and laughing, but her face was always with a crying and laughing expression, which was very hideous.

Tong Ning'er's gaze was like a knife on the woman at this moment, seeing that she had not looked at her, she was angry in her heart, raised her hand and slapped the armrest of the chair suddenly, and scolded loudly: Sango, when are you going to pretend?! This roar suddenly started, and even Su Mengtang was startled, but Coral was completely unmoved, still living in his own world, crying and laughing, and saying babbling that no one could understand.

Su Mengtang was a little confused, and asked softly: Ning'er, is she really crazy? Tong Ning'er shook her head and whispered to Yunhua and Su Mengtang: "When we caught her, she was still in good spirits, but who knew that she was halfway through Songxi County, and she didn't see it, she actually jumped from the second floor of the pavilion and wanted to escape, and she fainted." I was afraid that there would be another accident, so I ordered someone to tie her up, and when she woke up, she cried and laughed like this. As soon as she let go of her, she tore her clothes, and she didn't even know how to eat, so she relied on people to stuff her. In my opinion, she felt that she couldn't run anymore and deliberately pretended. Yunhua nodded and said: Having said that, if she insists on pretending, we will definitely not be able to ask anything.

Tong Ning'er glanced at Coral again, rolled her eyes and said, "Brother Yunhua, Sister Mengtang, the few attendants I brought were all under my father, and some of them were means, do you want to? Yun Hua hurriedly waved her hand lightly to stop her, and said softly: No, we don't have much time, you take her all the way over, I'm afraid that someone has already seen it on the road, and it will definitely reach Shi Miyuan's ears. We're going to get the word out before he finds out who took Coral, and send her out unscathed. Su Mengtang was puzzled: "She jumped off the building by herself and fell into this crazy appearance, how can she still be considered unscathed?" Yunhua chuckled lightly and said: Her bitter trick was played for us to see, and it must be good if she got out of this villa; Only if she goes out unscathed, Shi Miyuan will not take this matter too seriously, otherwise when she hears that someone tortured her to extract a confession, making her covered in scars, she will definitely suspect that the matter has been exposed, and someone will use this to make trouble, so as to seriously investigate the initiator.

Tong Ning'er nodded: "What Brother Yunhua said makes sense, but if she goes out by herself to report to the traitor Shi Da and finds out about us, what is good?" Although I was blindfolded on the road, along the way, the voices of pedestrians on the road became closer and closer to the Lin'an accent, and she could hear it. Besides, this waterway, and the upside-down mountain road, she must know that she is currently located on the mountain near Lin'an City."

Su Mengtang listened carefully to Tong Ning'er's analysis, thought for a while and said: "Now that Shi Miyuan is perverse, how many people want to find trouble with him for reasons, there are too many enemies, he will not guess us immediately." Even if the coral said the water and land itinerary, there are Fuchun River and Qiantang River on the boundary of Lin'an, there are many tributaries, and there are many villas and wild shops on both sides of the river, as long as she doesn't know the name of my villa, Shi Miyuan wants to find us, it can be said that he is looking for a needle in a haystack. Let's be cautious today, don't let her find anything as evidence. ”

Yunhua Dao: That's the reason, we already know what the facts were back then, and we came to her to ask the reason for that year. When he finished asking, he continued to blindfold her and sent her out of the Lin'an realm. In this way, even if she sent a letter to Shi Miyuan, saying that someone asked her about the events of the year, she must not be able to tell who it was, so Shi Miyuan had no idea where to start.

Tong Ning'er was still a little worried, and she began to worry a little that if Shi Miyuan knew about it, she would implicate her father, Tong Qingfang, who has now been promoted to the crown prince. Therefore, he was a little weaker at the beginning, and said: If Shi Miyuan takes her to inquire one by one near Lin'an, one day she will find out here, what should I do at that time?

Yun Hua comforted lightly: "No, unless he doesn't want his reputation in the court and the rivers and lakes, he will be like you said." Coral is the singer that Brother Zhao Hong dedicated to him when he was the prince of Guihe, Shi Miyuan dedicated it to him, and many people knew about this matter in Lin'an at the beginning, but now if she is taken to go door-to-door to identify, wouldn't it be equivalent to admitting that Coral is his eyeliner? This is tantamount to declaring the world that the Huzhou mutiny was premeditated by his Shi Miyuan.

Tong Ning'er felt that this was reasonable, she clenched her fists, strengthened her courage, and said, "Okay, then let's work hard and pry her mouth open." Yunhua nodded and said, "I'll ask her."

Yunhua stood up and slowly walked towards Coral: The woman in front of him, although she was crazy, her appearance was very beautiful, and her eyebrows and eyes still had the demeanor of the past. Thinking that this woman and Shi Mi were far away from each other and killed Zhao Hong's family, Yun Hua wanted to kill her with his own hands, but he couldn't do it at the moment, and he would not let go of everything until a few years later, when Qiuqiu grew up, he would let go of everything and find the people who committed the heinous crimes back then, and settle accounts one by one. Yunhua said to her, "I know who you are and what you have done. Are you really crazy, I'll let the outside doctor come in now and check the pulse. If you are pretending, this cave is where you are buried today. If you are really crazy, I will push you into the West Lake at night to feed the fish, and let you die of pain," his voice became calm and majestic, but aggressive.

Sango was a little scared in her heart, she had planned to keep pretending to be crazy and stupid, so that these people would think that she was of no use and let her go. Even if she didn't let it go, it dragged on for three or four days, and Prime Minister Shi Cheng found out that she had been robbed, and he would send a martial arts master to secretly visit her and rescue her. And right now, this man seems to can't wait three or four days, and wants her life today. She was at a loss for a while, and she didn't know whether to make meritorious service or not, so she could only continue to pretend to be crazy.

Her momentary hesitation was seen by Yun Hua, and he continued: "Even if you are pretending to be crazy, I don't have the time to listen to you tell you what happened back then, I just want to kill you quickly and do the right thing for heaven." On your way here, we have found a corpse similar to yours and thrown it by the roadside, thinking that we can fool your master into thinking that you are dead and will not send someone to rescue you. I killed you, and no one will know" Su Mengtang and Tong Ning'er looked at each other, and they both saw the odds in each other's eyes.

Sango's psychological defenses were slowly dismantled, and she was still struggling with her heart: Could it be that the truth was really as this man said, then wouldn't she be doomed? Yunhua was worried that Coral would find a flaw in his words if he thought about it for too long, so he immediately shouted: Someone!! Tong Ning'er shouted in response: "Here! This singing and harmony can be said to be a slap in the face to Sango, knocking on her fragile and empty defenses, she screamed in fright, and finally cried out a sentence that people could understand: "Don't kill me, I am commanded." It was as if all her strength had been drained from these words, and she burst into tears and collapsed on the ground.

Yun Hua laughed and said: Do you want to exonerate yourself? Coral cried: "I am innocent, I am only responsible for spreading the word, and I have not harmed anyone. Tong Ning'er also walked to the front at this time, took out a pure copper dagger from her waist, and said to her while playing: "I escorted you all the way, you also remember my appearance, you can't keep you in the world; Today is Hengzhu wants to kill you, whether you are guilty or not, you go to the underworld to avenge your grievances. ”

Coral looked at this guy who was desperate like impermanence on the left and right, and her heart was desperate: nine years ago, when Ning Zong died of illness and the prince was demoted to Huzhou, she was sent by Shi Miyuan to a village in Nanmin, claiming to the outside world: The emperor died, and the prince should dismiss the singer to set an example, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the emperor and disgrace the royal family. She was originally the most famous prince and favorite concubine in Lin'an City, but she lived incognito in that small mountain village for nine years, wanting to live the rest of her life, waiting for the person in her heart to marry her, but now, she was still found out and was about to go to Huangquan. She raised her head, wanting to seek a trace of help, just in time to meet Su Mengtang's indescribable gaze, she immediately saw life: this girl has a kind face, maybe she can save her life.
