Yang House.

Xue Shi sat in the middle of the hall, still wearing a white robe, and his face was already full of sadness. There have been so many things going on in the past few days that she has been overwhelmed.

"Madam, yesterday Nian Cui's brother came to the house, saying that he had something important to come to Nian Cui. You were in the mourning hall at the time, and we didn't tell you for fear of disturbing you. Now it seems that it was Nian Cui's brother who took her away! A concubine stood in front of the Xue family and reported.

The rest of the concubines sat on either side of the hall, and it was obvious that their faces were not well rested. Last night was under the care of countless nursing homes, and I was fortunate to spend the night safely, but it was impossible to sleep peacefully, without enough sleep, several people's eyes were a little black, and they looked very tired.

A concubine said hatefully: "The husband just died, and she ran away in a hurry!" When I saw Nian Cui's eyes, it was wrong, and her true face was really exposed! ”

Xue Shi said coldly: "Don't speak ill of others behind your back, if you had a brother who was on an errand in Wuwei, I think you would have been able to run away a long time ago." I know very well what you think, but as long as the old body doesn't die for a day, you don't want to walk out of the gate of the Yang Mansion for half a step! ”

Several concubines hurriedly got up and didn't dare to call them again and again.

Xue Shi waved his hand a little irritably: "Recently, I have been paying more attention to the mansion, it doesn't matter if you die, but if something ugly comes out, the old body will order someone to peel off your skin and throw it into the mass graveyard to feed the wild dogs!" ”

The concubines shuddered, not doubting Xue's words at all.

In the past, when Yang Yi was still alive, the Xue family was very strict. What's more, now that Yang Yi is dead, she is the head of the family, and she can definitely do this. Deal with it according to family law, even the government will not say anything.

The hall was still full of sadness, and when they saw Xue closing their eyes, several concubines hurriedly retreated, leaving only Xue alone in the entire hall. The frowning brows, and the fingers kept tapping lightly on the table, all of which revealed Xue's current irritability.

There was one thing she didn't tell anyone, even in the face of Si Xingsi's famous arrest and Tang Yun, she didn't tell it.

The Yang Mansion is used to these domineering things, and it is common to provoke some people, but if it is said that there is a mortal enemy, there is actually one thing buried in the bottom of the Xue family's heart.

The Yang Mansion occupies an extremely wide area, and this mansion is one of the best mansions even in Shangshanfang, which is lined with high gates.

Most of the backyards are places for women and children, while the west courtyard is rarely visited. Yang Yi is the official Shangshu of Xia, in charge of the important affairs of the world's soldiers and horses, and some important things are stored in the West Courtyard.

There are usually military guards stationed here, and even the family members of the Yang Mansion can't get close to half a step on weekdays. Even if the Yang Mansion encountered a catastrophe, they had already stuck to their posts. However, since the arrival of the new Shangshu, the military guards have moved a lot of documents from the west courtyard, and the efficiency is amazing.

Now the entire west courtyard has become much more empty, and all the nursing homes have been put together, and no one has come here for a while.

"Madam, it's too dangerous for you to be alone in the courtyard, so why don't you send a few people to protect you." The housekeeper followed behind the Xue family and persuaded that now the entire Yang Mansion was not as safe as before, and the murderer didn't know where to go.

Xue Shi looked around, and suddenly sneered loudly: "This is our own mansion, are you still afraid that she won't be able to find it?" If you have the guts, let her kill me! ”

The housekeeper panicked all of a sudden, and even the attendants around him put up their knives, for fear that the murderer who was ambushed nearby would be furious and suddenly appear to kill them by surprise.

A few birds fluttered in the nearby trees, fluttering their wings and shaking off the leaves, and the crow's cry surrounded all around, silently, and no sound came out.

The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief, but when he turned around, he saw that the Xue family had already left.

"They're all guarding outside, and no one is allowed to come in without me!" Xue left an order and went straight into the backyard.

The backyard and the rest of the courtyard are surrounded by a low wall, and pine trees are planted on the outside of the low wall. Such pine trees are not only dense, but also have very sharp foliage. It can cover everything in the inner courtyard, and at the same time has a certain anti-theft effect.

Even through the pine forests, there are rows of thin spikes at the edges of the low walls. If you force yourself to cross it, you will definitely have to suffer some hardships.

There are only three gates to the west courtyard, and there are military guards on duty on weekdays, but now they are also empty.

Xue went to the study where Yang Yi stayed on weekdays.

As a Xia official Shangshu, it is common to be anxious about the generals in his own house. There is a halberd in front of the study, which is an honor given by the emperor after Yang Yi won a great victory against the rebels in the Western Regions.

Pushing open the door of the study, the air inside was a little dull.

It was a bit of a mess, and many of the books that had been neatly placed on the shelves were thrown to the ground. Some of them look like signs of raids. Those martial guards also knew that it was enough, so the vases and other antique jade objects in the study were not damaged.

Xue picked up an official document from the ground that had not been taken away, which was soaked in ink, apparently deliberately destroying it to prevent anyone from seeing it.

Sighing softly, Xue walked back and forth in the room.

Usually, this study is also Yang Yi's place of order. Such a place is equivalent to a military festival hall, and women cannot easily enter it. Generally, the food is also delivered by the housekeeper, and Xue Shi does not know the structure in the study, but he also knows a thing or two from the housekeeper's words.

On the back of the table was a picture of a tiger descending the mountain, and Xue walked back and forth around, sometimes tapping lightly on the edge of some walls to see if there was a mezzanine.

Because this place is very hidden, coupled with the deliberate concealment of the Xue family, even the people of Sixing Temple did not find out here.

Xue kept walking in, knocking on the wall, and her hand suddenly fell on the mural behind the table.

Knock knock!

Behind the mural, there seems to be a mezzanine.

Xue's heart was pounding, although there were many people who came to this place, but with a few of them, they didn't dare to touch the murals in Yang Yi's study.

Behind this, there may be a secret door.

Xue Shi looked around for a mechanism, her heart was pounding, and her movements were inevitably a little flustered. Fortunately, there were no other people in the house, so I wouldn't see the lady of the Yang Mansion so out of shape.

Xue searched for a long time, and finally found an abnormality in the house.

Before the frescoes, it was common to enshrine several deities.

This shrine is generally dedicated to the god of martial arts, and in front of the mural, there are two sacred monuments. One is "Qin Gaozu Emperor Lu Yang", and the other is "Qin Wu Emperor Lu Yi'an".

Both of these were emperors of the former Qin, and because of their outstanding martial arts, they were promoted to the throne after their deaths. Nowadays, in some temples, there are also statues of the two gods.

But the strange thing is that the two gods are actually placed together, on an equal footing.

This is not right, although Emperor Wu of Qin has strong merits, he is the son of Emperor Qin Gaozu, and of course the two cannot be placed in the same position.

The Xue clan shook the Divine Monument of Emperor Qin Wu down, and suddenly felt a heavy feeling in his hands.

Move slightly, and from behind the mural, there was a rumbling sound.

Xue took a deep breath and walked quickly to the back of the house, it turned out that there was a mezzanine at the back of the house!

It's a dark room.

Xue's eyes were wide open, and she felt that she couldn't control the trembling of her body.

The scene in the dark room is shocking!
