() Su Tan carefully prepared the fruit tea, and also instructed the people below to go to a nearby town to buy snacks and come back.

Yue'er asked while eating refreshments, "You can buy dim sum in the nearby town, what if you can solve the grain and grass of our 5,000 people?" ”

Su Tan shook his head: "The goods in each town are on par with the needs of the population around them, and suddenly five thousand more people will occupy the resources of the people, which will cause panic and even turmoil." ”

"You love the people, but I'm still thinking too shallow."

"It's not that you're shallow, it's just that you're too worried about these people. You just take care of the internal deployment, and leave the external affairs to me. ”

"You have to be careful not to expose yourself, you know?"

Su Tan raised his hand and combed Li Yue'er's loose hair: "I know, you desperately took Song Ziqi out before, just to cover me." Brother Tan will never forget that it was my Yue'er who fought hard to save me, and I will cherish it from now on, and this life no longer belongs to me. ”

"Oh, what are you talking about, okay, let's exchange information."

Su Tan smiled: "Okay, what information do you want to exchange?" ”

"There is a secret passage in the Shaking Light Pavilion that leads to the underground, and there is a good chance that the girl who has the disease of the boils lives there."

Su Tan stared at Yue'er for a long time before asking, "Why do you call her that girl?" ”

Yue'er spread her hands: "Because she is not Xiang Yu'er at all, I saw it when I saw her for the first time, so Liu Lanniang has to say yes, that is." ”

"Okay, for the time being, no matter who she is, let's talk about the secret path in the Shaking Light Pavilion."

"You've always focused on the size and furnishings of the Shake Light Pavilion, and no one has ever gone to the room on the second floor to take a look."

Su Tan nodded: "It makes sense, I really haven't thought about it." ”

"So, to determine the secret passage in the Shaking Light Pavilion, we have to go to the room on the second floor to find it, and find the corresponding location to determine the entrance to the third floor."

"I'll take someone there"

Su Tan beckoned Xiao Fuzi to come over as he spoke, but was stopped by Yue'er: "Don't go over, I have already sent a secret guard to check, and the secret passage is on the bed of the Shaking Light Pavilion." ”

"But I've personally inspected that bed, and there's no secret way?"

Yue'er waved her hand: "You disguise yourself, come to my room later, and I'll take you over to find out." ”

"Good"

At dinnertime, Su Tan came to the small building and ate steamed buns here with Yue'er.

"Master Qiao is a little more peaceful, and he hasn't been in trouble until now."

Yue'er snorted: "It's just that the person behind him didn't come up with a way to deal with me, he's just on standby." ”

Su Tan replied: "There is this reason, but it may also be waiting for you to mobilize the dark line." Don't act rashly, I'll take care of the food. ”

"Forget it, it's still easy for me to mobilize some people locally, but it's too eye-catching if you want to mobilize them."

Su Tan looked at Yue'er, not knowing what he was thinking, and finally only said: "Listen to me, I have more ways to deal with these old foxes." ”

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this first, let's go, I'll take you to the second floor, where the Fang brothers live."

At this time, the Fang brothers were downstairs watching Jianan dance, and most of the guests were downstairs.

Entering the westernmost room on the second floor, Su Tan confirmed Yue'er's conjecture. This room is different from the Shake Pavilion on the third floor in that it is the upstairs bed, where it is a wall, dead, and there is not even a window.

Yue'er said: "Go upstairs, just look around the bed, there must be a mechanism." ”

When I got upstairs, I groped on the wall next to the bed, and there was a wall line that was pressed down. After that, the wall opens like a door, and inside is still a wall, and on the wall hangs a calligraphy and painting of a famous artist from the former dynasty.

Xiao Chuan'er stepped forward to take off the calligraphy and painting, but found that it was fixed to the wall and could not be taken off at all.

"yes, it should be here."

Such a precious calligraphy and painting is used as pasted wallpaper, and a fool can also see that there is a problem, so Su Tan stepped forward to check it carefully after speaking.

Yue'er is admiring the painting, which is a picture of a pine crane with the sun hanging high in the sky.

"What is this sun drawn with? Not only is it vivid, but it also looks like it's coming out of the picture. ”

Su Tan took two steps back, nodded and said, "Indeed, as you said, it is really everyone's handiwork." ”

After speaking, the two glanced at each other and nodded in unison, and Su Tan stepped forward to hold down the red sun.

I only heard a click, as if some mechanism had been opened.

Yue'er exclaimed: "Stand back", grabbed Su Tan's wrist and dragged the person out.

The two of them looked down at the same time, and the ground where Su Tan was standing just now slowly fell downward.

After falling to more than a zhang, you can see that there is a cage-like setting below, which can accommodate about two people to leave.

Yue'er said: "It seems that we are going to go down from the entrance of the secret passage on the first floor that Song Ziqi said, but we don't know how to return to this thing, if there are people underground as he said, wouldn't we be discovered!" ”

Su Tan had already waved his hand to let the secret guard go to the first floor to find the entrance to the secret passage, and Xiao Chuan'er led people to surround the entrance on the third floor.

Soon after entering the secret passage downstairs, the people below came up from the agency and reported: "Lord Wang, there is the woman living downstairs, and two guards, a man and a woman, have been tied up in the underground secret room. ”

"There should be an external exit out of the secret room, can there be exploration?" Su Tan asked.

"Yes, it's at the foot of a small hill next to the official road."

"Is the exit guarded?"

The man replied, "There is no one to guard it, and my subordinates have ordered people to secretly guard the exit." ”

Su Tan looked at Yue'er beside him, and the other party asked, "Even if we discover the secret passage, how can it help us?" I can't go back to the city, and you won't go back to Ganzhou, it's not the same as before. ”

Su Tan shook his head: "No, I have sent someone to find a secret passage into the city, and at present, the Yujin Pavilion is already trying to find a way to rescue Hui Zhi's mother and son." If nothing else, there will be news by tomorrow night at the latest. ”

"Okay, Brother Tan, you are much more familiar with this Beiping City than me."

After Yue'er said this, she felt that something was wrong, and Su Tan just smiled and didn't care about her.

instructed Xiao Chuan'er: "Go and tell Liu Lanniang that I want to live in the Shaking Light Pavilion, if she objects, there is no need to live anymore." ”

"Ah" Xiao Chuan'er glanced at Yue'er in a daze, and hurriedly replied: "The slave listens to the order." ”

"Brother Tan, you have to be careful when you live here, the person behind it is likely to come and go through the secret passage."

"I'll be careful, you should go back and rest sooner."

Yue'er rested in the same room with Brother Ping and Xiao Chuan'er, there is no extra room here, Brother Ping is a wounded person so he sleeps on the bed, and Yue'er sleeps on the soft couch.

Xiao Chuan'er went to ask Liu Lanniang for the room key, but the other party didn't ask anything, only said that there was no extra bedding and asked them to solve it by themselves.

Su Tan didn't bother to ask about it, and after getting the key, he asked people to go back to the camp tent in the back mountain to get what they needed, and transferred the soldiers and horses to part of the front yard, which was now under his control.
