Chapter 203: There is a secret room in the house
Hearing the conversation between the two sisters, Li Ping couldn't help but be a little moved, these two women are indeed pitiful, but could they be deliberately acting for themselves? Or are the two of them just as Miss guessed?
Li Ping watched all night, and when it was dawn, the sisters began to pack their bags and leave. Li Ping watched the two of them walk to the corner of the back door of the house and stay.
After dawn, Li Ping and two craftsmen began to remove the weeds in the yard, and unexpectedly found a dry well among the weeds in the yard, and there was a burst of rancid smell coming out.
"Brother Li, do you still want to keep this dry well?" One of the young craftsmen asked.
"What kind of well is this? Why does it stink so much? Li Ping covered his nose and said.
"I don't know, there is no water in this well, it should be a dry well. Anyway, there is a well to use near the kitchen and backyard. The middle-aged craftsman said.
Li Ping glanced at the two craftsmen, "Don't take care of the well, go and repair the uneven roads in the yard first, if you are too busy and need someone to help, tell me." ”
Hearing this, the two craftsmen looked at each other, they didn't want anyone to come to help, if someone came to help, then wouldn't the silver for repairing the yard have to be given to others? That's something they don't want to see.
"No, no, the two of us are very fast, and in two months, we can live in it." The middle-aged craftsman said with a smile.
"It will take you two months to fix it? Although my young lady is not in a hurry to live, you can't delay it for so long, a month, if you can't finish it in a month, don't think about getting the money. Li Ping said coldly.
Originally, he thought that it was indeed not enough for two craftsmen to repair this deserted yard, but he searched all the Libaer in the market, but no one wanted to come here except them. He had already sent the news to the Jiang Guogong Mansion last night, and the prince should be able to help.
While he was thinking, someone outside the door called his name.
"Li Ping, is Big Brother Li Ping inside?"
The voice was a little unfamiliar, could it be that the people from the Shizi Ye Sect had already arrived so soon? But why was this voice so unfamiliar to him? Just as he was thinking, a dozen people walked in.
One of them was wearing a black power suit, which should be the leader, Li Ping stepped forward and arched his hand: "A few are ......"
"Oh, Brother Li Ping, don't get me wrong. We also helped the young lady to renovate the yard, such a large yard, just two craftsmen for a year and a half? ”
"I don't know you that well, don't call it so close." Li Ping glanced at the man in the suit and said.
"Okay, I'm just ordered to bring someone to renovate the yard for Miss, you don't have to worry about the cost and materials, go, let them move everything in." The man in the suit said to another man in the suit behind him.
"You are on orders? Whose orders were taken? I don't know you? What are your intentions here? Li Ping said cautiously.
"Don't worry so much, we have no malicious intent, as for whose order we came, we can only let Miss know." The man in the power suit did not show weakness.
I heard that someone had taken over the renovation business of the yard, but the two craftsmen quit, isn't this a business robbery? Taking people's livelihoods, such as killing their parents, although the people who come don't seem to be easy to provoke, they must at least consider their own interests. How would they have lived without the money to renovate the yard?
"Guys, you can't do this, it was the young lady who asked us to renovate the yard, and now you want to steal our business?" The young craftsman shouted.
Unexpectedly, the cold eyes of the people behind the man in the strong suit swept over, and they didn't dare to say anything, because they didn't have the courage to compete with those people.
"This bag of silver is enough for you to spend your whole life in peace, you can go, and the yard renovation will be left to us." The man in the suit took out a bag of silver from his arms and threw it at the two craftsmen.
The craftsman picked up the silver on the ground and saw that there were at least one hundred taels, which was enough for their whole family to spend a lifetime without worrying about food and clothing.
If someone is willing to pay to work for them, what else would they not be happy about? Besides, it's really scary to let them work in this desolate house. Because when they were repairing the weeds in the yard just now, they saw a few clear shoe prints in the corner of the wall, and they were women's shoe prints, and they had long heard that there were female ghosts in this house, and if they weren't for their livelihood, they wouldn't have come here to work.
"Who the hell are you?" Li Ping's long sword came out of its sheath and pointed at the other party coldly.
"What do you want to do?" The man behind the man in the strong suit also pulled out his long sword and pointed at Li Pingdao.
"Stop, don't hurt the peace." Chu Lixue said loudly. When she came to the door of the house just now, she saw the two craftsmen come out, and a few others carried wood, lime and stones into the courtyard.
It seemed that these people had come to renovate the yard for her, and then they wanted to come in and see who was sending these things. Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked into the courtyard, she saw the scene of saber rattling, but fortunately she came in time to stop the fight.
"Qiyun, how did you know I was here?" Chu Lixue wondered.
"Oh, your news, the young master of my family has always been concerned, and the old lady is also very concerned, I heard that you left the palace, I wanted you to live in the other courtyard in Cloud City, but I didn't expect the Guo family to give you such a mansion."
"Thank you on my behalf, young master, I don't know if the old lady is good to come in?"
"Miss, don't worry, the two old ladies are very good, and the eldest lady is about to give birth, they are all busy preparing."
"Really? The eldest lady is going to have a baby? It's so good, I haven't seen them for so long, I really miss them. Chu Lixue said with some disappointment.
She is now Ling Qingya, the county lord of Qinghe, and she can't have anything to do with the people of the Chu family, even her mother has to be called the old lady, and her sister is about to give birth, so she can't go to see it.
In life, unsatisfactory things are often eight or nine, since she can't go to see it, then she can ask Qiyun to help her bring a gift back, even if it is a little bit of her heart as an aunt.
Li Ping saw that Chu Lixue was chatting happily with the visitor, and it seemed that he was still an old acquaintance, what was the origin of this person named Qiyun, why had he never seen it? Just now she mentioned the old lady and the eldest lady, could it be that they are from the Medicine King Valley? Young master? Could it be that it refers to Ling Shaogu Lord?
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were my own people just now, and now that Miss has offended the Guo family, I'm also worried that you were sent by the Guo family." Li Ping arched his hand towards Qiyun.
"It's okay, everyone is thinking about Miss's safety. I can understand that. Qiyun said with a smile.
Hearing this, Li Ping touched his head and said with a smile: "There are still a large number of people in the Medicine King Valley." ”
Ha, it turns out that this Li Ping regards Qiyun and them as people from the Medicine King Valley, or not, since he thinks so, it is better to let him mistakenly think that it is better than telling him that Qiyun is the person from Yunshui Villa.
She still doesn't want too many people to know about some things with Yunshui Villa, it's not that she doesn't believe Li Ping, but the less he knows, the better it will be for him.
"I'm ......" Qiyun was about to explain, but was interrupted by Chu Lixue, "Okay, you two, just help me repair the yard, repair it better, or I will ask you to rework." ”
"This is natural, the young master asked us to purchase all the best materials, in fact, the location of this house is still good, but what happened before made such a good yard fall."
Hearing Qiyun say this, it was obvious that he knew something about the things here, and he happened to ask Qiyun to see if what the two women said was true.
"Qiyun, have there really been a lot of deaths here?" Li Ping wondered.
In his eyes, Qiyun was a person from the Medicine King Valley, how could the people of the Medicine King Valley know so much about the affairs of Cloud City? And it's all some old things. Could it be that this Medicine King Valley also played a role in the court?
"Well, this house has killed many people, and all of them have been tortured." Qiyun said in a deep voice.
"Tortured to death?" Chu Lixue and Li Ping were surprised at the same time.
Chu Lixue always thought that this was just a secret prostitution hall run by the Guo family's father and son, the purpose of which was to help them win over the courtiers, so that they could be promoted and make a fortune, and at the same time, they could also grasp the secrets of some courtiers, so as to coerce the courtiers to do things for them. Wouldn't the execution of a minister of the DPRK and the central government who died in an unknown way arouse the suspicion of others?
"Qiyun, so there is a secret room in this mansion for interrogation?"
"There should be, but I don't know where the secret room is, anyway, the yard has to be renovated, and these craftsmen are all from their own family, so they won't say it." Qiyun said lightly.
Actually, these craftsmen are all from Yunshui Villa, it seems that the strength of Yunshui Villa is not as simple as it seems on the surface, but these things have nothing to do with her Chu Lixue, she has no hobby of listening to other people's secrets.
"Qiyun, this is the drawing of the yard renovation, you let his mother repair the yard according to the drawing, I have an additional request."
"Miss, please speak."
"In my bedroom, set up a secret room, this secret room must be hidden and not easily discovered."
"Miss, don't worry, I know it in my heart." Qiyun bowed slightly.
"Miss, Bai Ruyan is at the door of the house, she said she wants to see you." Ning Xiang walked briskly.
"White as smoke? What did she come to see me for? Chu Lixue wondered.
"The slave and maid can't figure it out, it's just that this Bai Ruyan looks very anxious, does the master want to see her? If you don't want to see her, the slave and maid will send her away. Ning Xiang said softly.
"No, please let her in, I also want to know what kind of medicine she bought in this gourd." Chu Lixue's eyes narrowed slightly.
