The two servants were asleep, but as soon as they heard the movement, they immediately woke up.

Seeing an old man in his fifties or sixties standing in the house, the two of them were confused for a moment, and suddenly thought that the male owner of this house was a man named Lao Zheng Tou, could it be the one in front of them?

And Lao Zheng Tou saw that the two of them woke up, and immediately squeezed out a smile on his dry old face: "Two poor masters, dare to ask why they are in the old family?" ”

He said that he went to his old friend's house for a drink, slept again, and then came home at this time, not knowing what had happened.

"Oh, that's the case, the Yang family forged the marriage book, the evidence is conclusive, I came here today to arrest her, how do I know that she peed her pants halfway, our Master Xing kindly asked her to go back to the room to change her clothes, but there was no movement for a while, and when I opened the door, I found that she had slipped away!"

"That's right, old Zheng Tou'er, what kind of secret passage do you have in your house?"

One of the two officials narrated, and the other stared at him inquiring.

And Lao Zheng Tou was already a little weak-minded, as soon as he heard that it was the Yang family's accident, he was originally relieved, but when he heard the other party mention the secret room, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart!

It immediately occurred to him that the Yang family had most likely hid in that basement!

But the two officials mentioned the secret passage of the organ, but asked themselves again, obviously thinking of it, but did not find it.

Lao Zheng Tou naturally couldn't tell the truth.

"No, the two poor masters in my house can search for it, there is really no such thing as a secret passage, I am a country carpenter, and it is okay to make some tables, chairs, wooden cabinets or something, but things like mechanisms, they are very clever when they hear it, I won't do it!" He waved his hand in denial.

The two officials saw that he was sloppy, old, and unshaven, and he really didn't look like a master who knew the organs, and he was not suspicious.

"And what other passage do you have in this house? I saw that the only window led to the courtyard, and all of us were in the courtyard at that time, and it was impossible for Yang to escape from this window, although there was a rear window, but the back window was sealed by wooden planks, and it should not be possible to ......," the official analyzed.

"Alas, the two poor masters are just afraid that they are mistaken!" When Lao Zheng heard this, he immediately slapped his forehead and said.

"How?"

"The back window wasn't actually boarded up! With a single movement, you can move those planks out of the way! Lao Zheng Tou looked a little embarrassed, "I'm afraid that the Yang family just jumped away from the back window!" ”

"What? Not sealed? The two couldn't help but look at each other.

Thinking about it carefully, although they searched the house at that time, they did not let go of even the toe of a broken shoe, but they did ignore the window.

Just because the window was crisscrossed with a few planks and covered with nails, at a glance, I thought it was nailed to the top, who would think that it was a move that could be removed with a single hand?

"If you don't believe it, you can check it out with me." Old Zheng Tou said again.

The two officials nodded in agreement.

As soon as Lao Zheng Tou opened the door and entered the house, he saw the mess all over the room, and he couldn't help but secretly think that they had indeed searched the house!

He didn't mention the mess in the room, as if he hadn't seen it, he went straight to the back window, raised his hand, and pressed the two sides of the criss-crossing plank, and then took it away!

The two officials looked at it, and their hearts were indeed like this.

The plank wasn't nailed to the window, and if it was removed, the window outside would be big enough for a man to jump out.

"Two poor masters, look at this ......" Lao Zheng Tou's face showed a look of embarrassment.

"In this way, tomorrow I will go back to the county seat to report this matter, and you will guard here first, and wait for me to bring back the order of the Yi County Order." A servant consulted with his companion.

"It's fine." The other thought for a moment and nodded.

Outside, Gu Xinru, who hadn't slept all night, overheard these contents and hurried back to the room.

She moved so little that none of the people in the room noticed her.

"If the two poor masters don't dislike it, please rest here." Lao Zhengtou pointed to the spacious earthen kang.

"No need, the two of us can sit outside for a while, anyway, it won't be long before dawn." The two officials were not such domineering people, and when they saw that the house was in a mess, it was not good to trouble him to clean it up, so they politely declined.

When Lao Zheng Tou heard this, he immediately and diligently cleaned up the sleeping place for the two servants in the hall, hugged two quilts, and lit the stove.

The room was suddenly much warmer.

Seeing that he was diligent, the two officials naturally had to thank him in words.

After doing all this, Lao Zheng Tou returned to the house in an orderly manner, and as soon as he entered the door, his face changed, and he snapped and plugged the door from the inside!

He immediately went under the kang head and found a hidden thread.

As soon as the thread was pulled, a wooden board slipped out of the gap between the kang and the wall, and he took the fire breaker and lit it, and climbed into the black earthen kang, where he saw a mechanism hidden in the groove behind the board.

It turned out that Master Xing had led people to search the inside of the kang before, but found nothing, and that was because the real mechanism was on the wall against the wall inside the kang kang!

If you didn't know, you wouldn't have thought of this!

Lao Zheng raised his hand and moved, only to hear the sound of "pop", and on the floor next to the earthen kang outside, the entrance of a black hole was revealed, which was the passage into the basement!

Ordinary people can't find it at all!

And Yang was just in a panic at that time, accidentally stepped on the line, accidentally touched the mechanism, and fell into the secret room, because the passage of this secret room will automatically close after people enter, so people outside can't find it.

This is naturally the design of Lao Zheng Tou!

He told the two officials that he was just a country carpenter, but in fact, when he was young, he had studied under the descendants of the famous organ masters of this dynasty, and later because of misconduct, he was expelled from the school, so he had to return to Qinghe Village, relying on a carpenter's trade to start a family, until now.

Lao Zheng Tou held a fire fold in one hand and a hemp rope firmly in the other, and his body was hanging, slowly sliding into the basement.

As soon as he landed, he lit the candle on the table.

The basement was lit up, but there was no one to be seen.

He looked around with the candle and didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

Could it be that Yang jumped out of the window and left?

After all, she didn't know about the existence of the secret room, and even the people from the government couldn't find it, and with her, she couldn't find it.

Lao Zheng Tou held a candle and walked to the coffins, and shone between the coffins and the dark gap in the wall, and no one hid there.

Then the only place where it is possible to hide people here is in these coffins.

But Lao Zheng Tou stood here, but his face was hesitant.

He suddenly remembered the whispers that the two brothers had said when they were drinking with Wang Butcher tonight.

Speaking of which, he has many cousins, not only Wang Tuhu, but among all the cousins, only the two of them have the best relationship, not because they live closely, but because the two of them have the same smell and have a common hobby, that is, they like young and beautiful little ladies.

But some time ago, Wang Butcher suddenly changed as a person, no longer interacting with himself, and used to beat and scold that pair of stupid children, but now he has become a good and conscientious father.

Tonight, he asked the question, "What made you change all of a sudden?" ”

And Wang Butcher's answer made his heart suddenly feel as if he had been hit by a stormy wave, and until now, it is difficult to calm down.
