Chapter 448: Discovering the Secret Passage
"Second Miss, please believe me, it's really not a minion. But there is one thing that the slave doesn't know if he is dazzled, and he shouldn't say it. ”
Xiao Xia had a hunch that this matter would never be so simple, and when Chao Yu came back, Xiao Xia was even more wise in her heart.
How could such a major matter as human life be convicted based on the words of these people, so when Xiao Xia knew about this matter, he had already sent Chaoyu out to investigate.
"You say!"
Xiao Shi's lips pursed for a long time, and finally spoke.
"The slave saw a ghost on the night of the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve."
"Snort...... You wouldn't say the hell did it! Chaoxue, who was standing behind Xiao Xia, smiled disdainfully.
Little Stone immediately became excited.
"The slave really saw the ghost, and it was on the edge of the well in this courtyard, and it was pitch black all over his body, and he was tall, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye."
"Nonsense, the well in this yard has long been dry, how can there be ......"
"I can't say that, I heard the old man say that the night before the New Year is also the day of the night tour of a hundred ghosts, and it is not unusual to see ghosts!" At this time, most people were more superstitious and believed in ghosts and gods.
"Even if you meet a ghost, what does it have to do with him poisoning and killing people? Could it be that he is demon-possessed? ”
The servant who was kneeling on the ground suddenly shifted his position, trying to stay as far away from the small stone as possible, and then looked at him with a frightened face.
"Second Miss, the slave suddenly felt strange, maybe ......" Xiao Shi just wanted to explain something, but was interrupted by Second Miss.
"Chaoyu, you go down to the bottom of the well and take a look."
"Second Miss?" Chaoyu thought about it, and understood what the second lady meant, there are no ghosts in this world at all, if what Xiaoshi said is true, then there are people with ulterior motives in the house.
"Yes."
"You go to Chaoxue too, remember to be careful."
"Yes." Chao Xue followed Chao Yu and went out.
And the people kneeling on the ground in the room all lowered their heads, and Xiao Shi looked at the second miss with gratitude, how could he not expect that the second miss would believe his words so easily.
After using half a pillar of incense, Chaoyu and Chaoxue came back with a little panic.
"Second Miss, I found a secret passage at the bottom of the well, and I don't know where it leads."
This discovery made everyone in the room panic, and everyone understood what was going on? It turned out that the little stone saw that it was not a ghost, but a human.
Shen Xiaoxia's hand standing on the table slapped heavily.
"Call Shen Da Shen Er, don't let go of any corner of the whole mansion, see how many secret passages there are in this mansion that we don't know."
"Yes."
Chao Yu and the others took the order, and at this time, the people kneeling on the ground breathed a sigh of relief, especially the small stones. Not only did he not make a mistake this time, but he may have also made a great contribution.
"Go back and rest! There will be arrangements for your poisoning and the two who died. ”
"Yes."
On this night, the Yishan Bofu is always brightly lit and crowded. The masters of the mansion also got up in alarm, and they didn't dare to sleep until dawn.
After a busy night, Xiao Xia finally got the news.
"Second Miss, the slaves and maids searched the entire mansion and found a total of four secret passages. One leads to the outside of the mansion, one leads to the outside of the city, one leads to the backyard of a wine cellar on South Street, and one leads to the Imperial City. ”
After listening to Chaoyu's report, Xiao Xia's face can be imagined, she never thought that the mansion she lived in would be so accessible.
"Girl, what should I do?" Chunhua is already gearing up.
"Can this be passed on?"
"Second Miss rest assured, no one dares to spread it. But the movement in our house this night is relatively large, and it may have alarmed the enemy. Chaoyu replied.
"It's okay, you send someone to guard the secret passage, wait for the rabbit to try first, if you can't seal the secret passage, it's too late. There are also two people who were poisoned in the mansion and asked the big official's family to go to the county government to report the case and hand it over to the government for handling. ”
It doesn't matter who the enemy is, in short, I'm in the open and in the dark, so I'll lead the enemy to the ground first. Since the other party did not directly do anything to the master in the Yishan Mansion, it shows that his purpose is not to destroy the Righteous Uncle's Mansion, but to get some benefits from it.
Early the next morning, the Yishan Bofu, which had been noisy all night, carried out two corpses and sent them directly to the government to report the case.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the government also wants to have a good holiday, especially Jingzhao Yi Xiao Zuolang, who is a small Beijing official in the capital, but he has been busy with trivial things for a year, so he wants to spend a new year.
As a result, as soon as it was the third day of the Lunar New Year, the case came. When he heard that two minions had died in the Yishan Uncle's Mansion, his face immediately turned bad.
"Where does a mansion not kill a few minions a year, and it needs to be reported to the official for this little thing?"
The people standing below were sweating on their foreheads, it was really not easy to be a petty official in Shangjingcheng, and everyone who came out casually had a great background, and they were all things that these little people couldn't afford to provoke.
"My lord, it was the chief butler of the Yishan Bo Mansion who sent the corpse, saying that these two minions were poisoned by the Broken Intestine Grass, and their house has found out that it was not the people in the mansion who did it, so they came to report to the official."
Hearing this, Xiao Zuolang immediately understood what was going on. He has seen a lot of this kind of thing, but it is just a variety of disputes between everyone, and it is just a formality that has come to him, and he will not expect the government to really find the murderer.
The main thing is that it is impossible for the government to find the real culprit, otherwise he would have offended all the big people in the capital, and he Xiao Zuolang can work in Jing Zhaoyi's position for so long, but he is calculated in his heart.
"Okay, the official knows, send two governors to investigate this matter, and tell the official first if he finds the result."
As he spoke, he decided to go home to catch up on sleep.
It's like what Jingzhao Yi Xiao Zuolang thinks, but it's just that two minions died in the mansion, and no one will pay attention to it.
So this matter has not stirred up the waves in Shangjing, and no one will pay attention to it.
After the third year of junior high school, Shen Xiaodong is going to live in He Mansion, two minions died in the mansion, and everyone's mood is not very good today. He didn't sleep all night last night, and today he worked hard to help Xiaodong clean up his things.
"When you get to your grandfather's house, you have to be obedient, you know?"
Xiao Dong nodded absentmindedly, He thought that this child was reluctant to leave home, so he couldn't keep his spirits up, and he couldn't help but shed tears when he thought that he would be able to see each other again in the next half a month.
"Your grandfather is old, you should do your filial piety for your mother in front of his old man, you have to study hard, and practice martial arts well......"
He couldn't help but chatter on the side, but Shen Xiaodong didn't listen to a word, and always thought in his heart, should he tell the second sister about his rebirth?
"What is the second sister doing? I want to go to her! ”
He was suddenly interrupted and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Your second sister didn't sleep all night yesterday, and I heard that she just fell asleep now, so don't bother. Don't worry, before you leave tomorrow, your second sister will definitely come to see you off. ”
Xiao Dong felt relieved when he heard this, and finally he didn't have to worry about it, and he would wait for the second sister to confess his rebirth when he came back half a month later!
