Chapter 145: The road is narrow

I entered Zhuang Changyuan's room very smoothly.

She took the prepared lamp from her sleeve and began to scrutinize the footprints on the floor, including the new changes in the room.

The number of people who should have come in the past two days has increased, so that the dust on the ground has lost its shape, and it is difficult to see the well-defined footprints.

Occasionally, however, you can see some handprints by the window, or in some less obvious places.

Still haven't found a trap, or anything like that.

Zhuang Siyan searched back and forth for more than an hour, and the sweat on his head came out, but he still found nothing.

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard a noise outside.

Zhuang Siyan immediately turned off the lights, and then hid in the dark and did not move.

The man's goal was clear, he was also coming here, and he was bolder than her, he came in directly through the door, and then carried a lamp that was several times brighter than her, and looked inside.

Zhuang Siyan could easily see who was coming by the light.

Wen Qing.

This guy is really haunted, the road is narrow, he just pinched it during the day, he also looked for it here, and he came back at night?

Zhuang Siyan stood beside the bed and covered himself up with a hanging tent, but when he saw Wen Qing's face through the cloth, he couldn't help but complain fiercely in his heart.

This kid has come here, and he is still so arrogant.

Does he know how to write a snake by surprise?

They may not find anything when they come, but it's always okay to stay here and see who else comes, right?

Maybe if you catch that person, you can find a clue?

The more Zhuang Siyan thought about it, the more angry he became, and his feet moved out, wanting to bring Wen Qing over and teach him a good lesson, but he heard movement outside again.

Before Zhuang Siyan moved, it was dark in the room, and a figure had already crowded into the tent.

After bumping into Zhuang Siyan, he obviously let out a "huh", and then waved his hand to hit her.

Zhuang Siyan took the lead, shot faster than him, and slashed at his shoulder with a hand knife.

Of course, he didn't knock the person unconscious, just stopped his movements, and then quickly said "it's me".

After she pulled Wen Qing back in, the door over there had already opened.

Two people flashed into the house quickly, one carrying a bag in his hand.

Judging from their figures, these two people look like women, and they should be the last people Ah Si sees, and they are also the ones who know the secret passages in this house.

Zhuang Siyan held his breath and calmed down, and also signaled Wen Qing not to make any sound.

After the two men came in, they first looked behind them carefully, and saw that the doors and windows were still tight, and then walked to the bedside.

They have no lights in their hands, and when the door is not closed, they can still see them by a glimmer of light outside.

As soon as the door was shut, the whole room was immediately plunged into complete darkness.

To say that this Zhuang Changyuan's bedroom is also a very strange existence.

There was a wide door and two large windows, but both the closed and the windows were covered with thick things, and even if they came in during the day, they didn't let in much light.

The whole room was dark and mildew, and there was no sunlight for a long time.

Or maybe it has something to do with not living in it for too long.,It's always weird.。

The whole room was so dark that it was hard to see the two of them, even if their eyes were used to the darkness.

They could only listen carefully to their subtle footsteps with their ears.

It was moving towards the side of the bed, the speed was very slow, and it came from the end of the bed little by little, almost sticking to Zhuang Siyan and they stopped.

Then I heard a slight sound, and there was a faint light shining under the big pear blossom wood bed.

When Zhuang Siyan looked there, the two women had already jumped in one after another, and closed the bed as soon as possible.

Although they couldn't see each other's faces clearly in the dark, Zhuang Siyan still felt it, and Wen Qing was as surprised as her.

When there was no more sound in the house, the two men came out from behind the tent.

Neither of them cared about the previous accounts, and crawled on the side with a small lamp to find the mechanism carefully.

From the actions of the two women, it was easy to judge that the mechanism should not be complicated, and it should not be on the outside of the bed.

It's just that maybe it's too hidden, that's why they searched so many times and didn't find it.

Now that I have the exact direction, I'm staring at this piece.

Finally, in the pattern carved out of the pear blossom wood, I saw a different place.

It is a blooming flower, and the petals of the petals are carved very clearly, and the texture is distinct, there are deep and shallow, thick and thin.

It is the deepest part of the wheel corridor, there is a very thin seam, and there are some scratch marks.

Wen Qing touched it with his hand, reached out to take the dagger in his arms, and pried the tip of the knife to that place.

The pear blossom bed immediately let out a slight tremor, and then the bed board moved away, and a beam of light came out of it, illuminating Wen Qing's face.

He turned his head to look at Zhuang Siyan and jumped in without saying a word.

Zhuang Siyan followed closely and also jumped into the tunnel under the bed.

The switch inside is obvious, and as soon as you enter, you will see a flower carved from stone, and inside the flower is a stone ball, which is smooth and visible, and it should be often touched.

So Zhuang Siyan touched it, and the bed board on it closed again.

What is used to illuminate it is not an ordinary lamp, but a pearl of the night.

The light wasn't very strong, but it still played a big role in complete darkness.

For the first time, the two had a tacit understanding, neither of them spoke, one in the front, the other in the back, and moved quickly inside.

Coming down from the bedboard, there are more than a dozen steps, and after walking, there is a very long road.

The two people who came down before were gone, and now the corridor was quiet, only a little glimmer of light from a distance, shining faintly.

Wen Qing held a dagger in one hand across his chest, and his steps moved forward quickly.

Zhuang Siyan put her hand on her waist, modern weapons are still easier for her to use, especially in this extremely dangerous place, if she can kill with one move, she will talk less nonsense.

After walking for about ten meters, Wen Qing slowed down because he heard someone talking in front of him.

He glanced back and forth, and there was nowhere to hide, so he could only give Zhuang Siyan a look, indicating that there was someone in front of him, and then continued to walk forward.

Gaps soon appeared on both sides of the road.

They heard the sound coming from the right, and the lights were brighter.

So the two of them didn't hesitate to go over there as well.

When they saw the scene in front of them, both of them were a little unconvinced.

There were five women inside, one of whom looked like the master's, half-lying on an old bed, with a pale face, and not even a trace of blood on his lips.

His hair was as withered and yellow as grass, and even if he combed his hair in a formal bun, he couldn't suppress the desolation of lifelessness.

The clothes she wore were fine, like the fabric and work of a large family.

The other four people should be the maids here, but two of them are also pale, they should have been underground for a long time, but the other two are better, the two who just came in.

They whispered to the person on the bed, saying that it would not be long before they would be able to get out of here, and let her be patient and wait.

The person on the bed just laughed bitterly, and it took a long time before he hummed out a sentence: "Don't bother it, just let her take care of herself, I've been here for so many years, it's okay to die here." ”

The four maids were silent.

Then the two men untied the baggage from their hands and took food and some lighting from it.

They came out of here quickly, but instead of going the way they came, they continued to move forward.

Zhuang Siyan gave Wen Qing an instruction, and the two separated.

Wen Qing stayed here to guard the three people who stayed, but Zhuang Siyan followed the two maids to continue to move forward.

There was also a maid on the road who looked behind her frequently, whispering to her companion that someone was following behind.

The man didn't speak, but dragged her forward quickly.

The road was not long, and they soon went out through the other entrance.

When Zhuang Siyan also came out, he saw clearly that there was still no Zhuang family's house here, but he just went to another corner, as if it was also a concubine's house.

The two men didn't stay here long, they came out of the house, found another switch at the back door, and made a hole in the courtyard wall until they went out.

Zhuang Siyan also opened the hole after they went out, but when she came out, the two people had already disappeared.

She tried to look forward, but when she found nothing, she went back underground.

Without alarming the three people in the room, he pulled Wen Qing out and returned to the ground.

After leaving the Zhuang Mansion and returning to Wen Qing's mansion, the two of them took a breath, then glanced at each other and began to analyze the ins and outs of this matter.

Zhuang Siyan said: "Those two women will still go, next time we will bring one more person, guard outside the courtyard wall, and then follow forward, and see where they are going?" ”

Wen Qing shook her head and said, "I can probably guess where they come from." ”

"What?"

"It should have something to do with Empress Dowager An."

Zhuang Siyan didn't speak, his eyes looked at him.

Wen Qing grabbed a handful of hair and said, "Have you really forgotten the past, and you don't even know how many wives and concubines Zhuang Changyuan married?" ”

Zhuang Siyan nodded: "Yes, I don't know anything about the past." ”

Wen Qing sighed as if complaining, and finally said, "The person on the bed should be the sister of Empress Dowager An." ”

"What? Her sister? ”

Wen Qing: "She used to be Zhuang Changyuan's main room, and later I heard that she died of illness, but now it seems that Zhuang Changyuan should have told a big lie and just locked her up." ”

"Who sent the two people who came to see her? Empress Dowager An? ”

"It should be her, although the dealer is defeated now, but all the crimes committed are capital crimes, and all the people have escaped, Empress Dowager An does not dare to rescue her, she must be looking for opportunities."

Zhuang Siyan suddenly thought of the concubine who had recently been very close to the Empress Dowager An.

Empress Dowager An is actually snobbish in her bones, she looks down on her concubines, and now that she is close to her, she must have promised something to this stupid woman.

Of course, the concubine must also exchange the same, or even more, for it.

Zhuang Siyan didn't quite understand what Concubine Zhen was thinking, with Empress Dowager An's current situation, even if she was promised anything, could she still believe it?

But she soon thought that she had promised her concubine.

It's all because she was too busy in front of her, and she went south for a few months, and she forgot about the things she had helped her, it seemed that when she went back this time, she had to talk to Ling Tiancheng about it.
