149: So close, so far away
After Li Tong came back from Ning Lanze, he also brought back the medicine prepared by A-Ning, and after Li Zhun took it, his pulse began to show shriveled and disordered, and his injury worsened a lot for a while. The imperial doctor reported the diagnosis to the king: The assassination injury of the prince of Anding was not too serious, but due to the old illness caused by the perennial battle, the new injury triggered the old disease, resulting in the prince's injury!
On the second day after Li Zhun was assassinated, Jingwei found out as quickly as possible that the person who assassinated the prince came from the Moon Hidden Palace, and one of them was the lunar eclipse.
Along the lunar eclipse vine, I naturally found the head of the Tailai gambling house.
Naturally, Li Zhun's contribution on the sickbed is indispensable.
However, when Jingwei's people went to the Tailai Gambling House in Guliu Lane to track down and collect evidence, the huge gambling house had already been emptied, and nothing was found except for the broken glass bronze mirror found on the right side of the upstairs.
Jingwei quickly checked the surrounding streets and alleys, arrested some people for questioning, and did not get any usable information.
After they had searched and left, two more agile figures flashed into Taylor's Casino, and they quickly jumped upstairs and pushed open the door to the eclipse room on the right.
These two are Ji Shu and Ji Mo's father and son.
Two days ago, the lord of Ji Fort still lived here with the identity of Jiang Bantu, but in the blink of an eye, this place was so cold, which is really embarrassing.
Ji Shu and Ji Mo asked Ji Wei how they left Tailai Casino safely under the banner of Jiang Bantu? In fact, it's very simple, the two days of the river and the lunar eclipse are not there, as long as the lord of Ji Bao wants to leave, who else can be faster than him?
According to the information provided by Ji Shu, the father and son went straight to the private room on the right side of the second floor, and walked inside to the innermost corner.
There is a small area in the corner of the wall that is one person high and darker than the surrounding area, and it is difficult to spot without looking closely. Ji Xun and his son have practiced picking sesame seeds for many years, not only their fingers are flexible and flexible, but their eyes are also extremely sharp, and they can find the difference almost at a glance.
Ji Xiao pressed his four fingers together, the corner of the wall moved, and then opened silently. He motioned for his son to follow, and he walked in first.
No more than two steps into it was a wooden staircase, which had been followed for a short time to the end of the staircase, where a pitch-black iron door two feet square stood in front of it.
It's cold and impersonal.
The corners of Ji Wei's lips were lazy, but they were disdainful.
There must be a cause for existence. Nature can also be opened.
……
At this time, Jiang Bantu came out of Li Yan's private house, and his face was not shocked.
The Tailai Gambling House in Guliu Lane and the house in the alley next door are just an expedient place, and they were not intended to last long, so they abandoned it. Tailai Gambling House has been in existence for almost two years, and has been safe and sound under the protection of Li Yan, and after he returned from Yangzhou, he took over for a few months, did everything that should be done, and also recruited many outlaws.
In other words, it doesn't hurt to abandon this place.
The three caves of the cunning rabbit, Guliu Lane is just one of the caves.
It's just that his wife Luo Qiongzhi is a little resistant to leaving.
"Jiang Bantu, why don't you find me a place for me to fend for myself!" Luo Qiongzhi said, "I've had enough of such hopeless days. ”
Jiang Bantu didn't seem to hear his wife's words: "You are where I am, usually husband and wife are husband and wife." Also, soon the three of us will be able to live together without fighting. I promise you. ”
Luo Qiongzhi stopped talking, his eyes seemed to reveal a thick despair, and he whispered for a while: "I never need you to promise anything." ”
Jiang Bantu didn't pay attention to her anymore, but ordered someone to send his wife to the hidden Zhuangzi outside the city and protect her strictly.
He had a hunch that he would be busy for a while, and it was not always possible to go out of the city to see her every day.
Because he will cooperate with His Highness on a big thing!
He did this more than ten years ago, when his junior brother Ji Hanbai was still alive, and the level of the two was equal, and he was said to be able to do the task himself, and the reason why the king used their junior brothers was just to increase the odds of victory by one percent.
After the deed was completed, they all paid the price, Ji Hanbai paid for his life, and he paid for his hands.
Still, he got what he desperately wanted. Now, the insight is growing on Qiongzhi.
He relied on his strength to become the lord of the Moon Hidden Palace, and he had a lover by his side, wouldn't it be a good ending?
If there is anything that so many years of life have taught him, it is - to fight for what he deserves without scruples! Fight for it, and you will always get.
Last time, he had nothing and did that with his junior brother Ji Hanbai, this time, he was the supreme lord, and the entire Moon Yin Palace was his backing, and he alone was enough.
Su Youchuan that guy is not enough to succeed and more than to lose, it has been so long and he has not managed to get the Thousand Faces Pavilion firmly in his hands, and a little girl can't catch it, to be honest, he can't look down on such a waste.
The only thing that made him feel that Su Youchuan was still a little useful was that in several battles with Su Cardamom, one thing was determined - the Ji family was in Wangcheng!
Whether it is his good teacher and nephew Ji Shu, or Ji Shu's son, he will always meet when it is time to meet.
……
Ji Shu and Ji Mo, father and son, were standing in front of the iron gate of Tailai Casino.
"Daddy, can you open it?" Ji Mo asked, "It's weird! ”
Ji Wei narrowed his expression: "It does look strange, but if you think about it carefully, there is nothing strange about it." ”
It stands to reason that the people of the gambling house will destroy this hidden place before evacuating, but the strange thing is that the other party does not.
It can be seen that there are no useful clues or important things left inside, or...... The other party just deliberately did this, in order to show his calmness.
Case......
Ji Shu took a look around the door by the light of the fire fold, and suddenly his heart sank!
"Mo'er, go up first!"
Ji Mo heard the unusual tone in his father's tone, and was about to say something, when Ji Mo raised his hand and stopped him: "Obedient!" Trust your dad! ”
Ji Mo had to go up the wooden ladder.
Just as he was ascending the last step, he suddenly heard a few crisp collisions in his ears, his pupils shrank, he turned his head suddenly, and saw Daddy's figure stumbling on the iron door between flexing and stretching.
Taken aback, he turned and quickly descended the wooden ladder.
"It's safe!" Ji Wei stood up straight with a smile, dusted off the ash that might have fallen from his body, and said lightly, "The mechanism is not bad." ”
It is enough to express yourself freely.
Ji Mo still shouted "Daddy" worriedly, and then pulled him over to check. It wasn't until Daddy was serious that he breathed a sigh of relief.
Afterwards, Ji Shu patted the same place on the door. The iron door opened.
The two of them entered the door, and through the light of the fire fold in their hands, they found that it was quite spacious, with a table, a sleeping collapse, and a screen, and they knew that it was worth a lot of money. It stands to reason that the wall should also be inlaid with night pearls and the like...... Sure enough, there were traces of inlays on the walls.
The two searched for it, and something of apparent value was transferred.
Further inside, there is a secret door, and inside the secret door is a tunnel for one person, through a tunnel that is not too tortuous...... Finally the two went up the stairs to a study.
The study is deserted, the table is still there, and the books are still there.
In a dim corner on the inside of the table, Ji Jian found a small wooden carving that had been lost.
The statue is of a woman with a stunning face, holding a baby in her arms with her eyes down.
Aunt Joanzhi?
In an instant, a cold wind rushed through more than 30 years......
