Every time Xiao Nan took a step, he felt like he was about to fall apart, so he could only walk a few steps with his crutches and rest, feeling like an old man in his eighties. Finally moving to the desk in the bedroom, he began to search carefully, but the cabinet had obviously been turned over by the servant, and there were much less clothes than before.

When he returned to his desk, he saw that the drawer where the money had been kept was locked, but the lock had been broken by someone and had been looted, but his ledger had been left behind.

In this era, there is no fingerprint system, even in the deep courtyard of such a mansion with strict rules, once it loses power, it is precarious, and life is like duckweed. He even felt a little sorry for the silver tickets he had given to the jailer.

Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly thought that in the TV series, many big families have so-called secret doors to protect important finances, and some have other organs in the furniture. He sat on the chair and thought hard, he wanted to do a big search, but his physical strength was really exhausted, and the wound was painful, so he could only move to the bed again.

However, it was such a simple action, but he also missed a mistake because of the lack of a leg, and after accidentally stumbling, he couldn't grasp the crutches steadily, and fell straight down towards the edge of the bed, and the result was that he fell on the bed pedal with a pop, and the stump and the plank hit hard, so that he didn't recover for a long time.

I don't know how long he lay down, he only had a little strength, so he desperately grabbed the glazed window on the edge of the bed, which was originally an object for decoration and covering, made into the style of the window lattice, or even folded, if combined, it just covered the entire front of the bed, forming a small closed space.

It was such an action that made Xiao Nan feel that something was wrong.

When he climbed into bed, he rubbed the folded window close to him, and felt that the bottom edge of the place he had just grabbed seemed to be a little protruding, a small moving piece of wood. At this time, if you look closely, the slightly raised place is extremely hidden, and at the back of the folding window, if it is folded, no one can reach and touch it at all, which also means that only when the window is opened and closed, the small wooden block "button" will be revealed. Even if the unwitting servants came to search, they would never find this link.

Thirteen Shao is a disabled person with limited mobility, according to Xiaoci, a personal maid, if he is in the house, he often likes to lie down, or lean on the bed, and when he sleeps, he likes to close these folding windows, saying that he is afraid of light. Can it be understood that Thirteen Shao thinks that the bed is the safest place for himself.

The more he thought about it, the more interesting it became, so he touched the wooden button with his hand, and the paint on it was much more faded than the other places, apparently often touched.

After he pressed the wooden block, there was a small creak under the bed. He quickly lifted the bedding, and saw that the bed board was made of a whole heavy wooden plank, which was extremely smooth, but a small square hole was opened near the head of the bed, and the workmanship of this hole was extremely fine, and when it was closed, it was tightly fitted with the surrounding plank, and there was hardly a single gap to see, which showed that the craftsman was skilled. Even if the servants lifted the bedding, they probably wouldn't be able to find this hidden location.

There are some lattices on the walls of the thirteen young beds, which are used to put all kinds of items, like small drawers, which have naturally been looted, for example, there was a delicate old-fashioned flashlight that has disappeared. But leaving a few idle books, Xiao Nan took out a book and rolled it into a cylinder and sent it to the hole that was square and could only accommodate one person's wrist.

With his years of archaeological experience, the entrance of this kind of mechanism is so narrow, and there may be two mechanisms inside, which are designed to be so hidden, it is enough to see the attention of the owner.

It must be an extremely valuable item for the thirteen young people. Therefore, it should not be taken lightly, many of these exquisite ancient objects have a mechanism design that can hurt people at least and kill people at worst, as if expressing a paranoid possessiveness of the owner.

This made him feel more and more excited, as if he was back in the cause he loved. He carefully sent the book into the hole, and found that there seemed to be some mechanism in it that needed to be activated, and just as he tried to tinker, he only heard the sound of a sharp weapon, and he immediately pulled out the book, and the book was cut off by the blades that suddenly appeared in the hole, and looked at the sharpness of the knife, if he put his hand into it, he was afraid that he would immediately lose a hand!

This design is so sinister! And in addition to the books at hand, he had no other tools to open the hole again, so he could only cover the futon first, thinking that he would wait for Wanyue to come back and see if he could find any tools to fiddle with and take out the objects inside.

It is said that when Wanyue went to the market, she only changed into the plain clothes she brought over, and she quietly took out the silk and satin clothes and jewelry she brought with her "marriage", and went to the pawnshop, just to raise more money to maintain her and the young master's expenses, and the young master's money for medicine is also a lot of expenses, and she has to try to make some money. In fact, she never felt that she was the young grandmother of the Xiao family, and those servants did not treat her as the wife of the thirteenth young man, and after the thirteenth young man was arrested, those subordinates all looked at her coldly, not to mention the Xiao family members in other mansions.

But she doesn't care about all this, she follows the thirteen young, not the glory and wealth of the picture, in today's world, men all treat women as objects, like her father, a good person, is also deeply influenced by Confucian etiquette, since she was a child, she taught her that women should be three from four virtues, and take the husband as the sky, but only the thirteen young will say such shocking words to her, what kind of man should be a man who knows how to pity women! Therefore, she is already content, as long as she can stay with the thirteen young people and live a peaceful poor life, she also feels very happy.

After exchanging money, she bought some meat and vegetables, and then went to the pharmacy to grab medicine for Thirteen Shao, the prosperity of Xiao Cheng really deserved its reputation, the scale of the city alone was not known how many times larger than the town where she grew up, but she had no intention of appreciating those novel street scenes, she just cared about hurrying away, so that she could go back to cook and decoct the medicine.

In the alley where he went to the pharmacy, a man in his twenties came to him, even if she lowered her head, he still recognized Wanyue, and shouted, "Isn't this a young wife of thirteen!" I heard that the young grandmothers of the Xiao family are all nobles, and they don't go out of the door, why did you come out to buy vegetables in person? ”

This person is the original servant in the courtyard of the thirteen young people, named Wang San, the thirteen young people were arrested and put into the dungeon, he immediately stole the money of the thirteen young people, and then quickly quit the job of the servant, and squandered the stolen money. It was in order to stop him from stealing money that Wanyue was pushed to the point where she broke her forehead, but in broad daylight, she met this enemy again.

"You scoundrel! Hurry up and return the money of the thirteen less! Otherwise, I'm going to report to the police! Wanyue pointed at him angrily and shouted.

"Hahaha, I'm afraid you don't know who is the boss in this Xiao City, tell you this girl from the countryside, the sky in Xiao City is the Xiao family, the affairs of the Xiao family, don't talk about the county master, the provincial governor doesn't dare to care, Thirteen Young is a person who was handpicked and tortured by the eldest lord, do you think anyone dares to take care of his affairs?" Wang San leaned over triumphantly, and even stretched out a hand to touch Wanyue's face.

He has long coveted Wanyue's beauty, but when he was in the Xiao family, he was afraid of the Xiao family's family rules, and the servants were not allowed to have adultery with the Xiao family's daughters, so he didn't dare to do anything. Now that he has left the Xiao family, he feels that there is nothing to be afraid of.

Wanyue was extremely angry, and slapped him hard at the moment: "You are presumptuous! ”

The madman was stunned for a moment, and then completely revealed his fierce appearance, he raised his hand and knocked Wanyue to the ground, and kicked her body: "What are you!" Cheap x! Tell you, don't think that you are really the young grandmother of the Xiao family if you follow that wasted person! Today I want to taste what you really are! ”

After that, he began to pick Wanyue's clothes, Wanyue resisted desperately, screaming again and again, but in exchange for him to fight more fiercely, and the people in the surrounding alley walls didn't dare to open the door and come out to take a look, they just swept the snow in front of the door.

Seeing that a tragedy is about to be staged in this long alley where no one is around. A slender scimitar with a curved arc was pressed against the back of Wang San's neck.

The knife was carved with all kinds of strange ornaments, it seemed to be made of bronze, the whole body was blue, but the temperature of the blade was extremely low, and as soon as it was pulled out, it exuded a cold air, and Wang San even shivered because of this. Before he could react, one of his ears flew out - the man with the knife was so fast that it was impossible to see at all.

After Wang San's ears tumbled a few times on the bluestone slab and settled, he finally felt a sharp pain, immediately covered the blood-spurting wound, and fell to the ground screaming like a pig.

The man who cut off his ear with a knife was a handsome young man in his early twenties, who was wearing a black national costume and did not seem to be from the Central Plains.

Wan Yue had never seen such a scene before, and when she was finally able to come back to her senses, she saw the young man kick Wang San's ass and say in a deep voice, "If I see you doing evil again, I will cut off your head." Get out! ”

Wang San covered his ears and his face was distorted with pain, but he didn't forget to be ruthless: "Do you know who my uncle is!" How dare you hurt me! You're dead! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man stabbed again, this time directly cutting off half of his index finger.

Wang San finally didn't dare to shout at all, but got up in a hurry and ran away desperately.

Wan Yue was dumbfounded, she had never seen such a bloody scene! But if it weren't for this ruthless young man, I was afraid that he would have been defiled by Wang San!
