A stout man with an oil lamp came down the chamber, glanced at the room, approached the poor man hanging in the air, pushed it twice, heard the other's groans of pain, smiled with satisfaction, and then went round the cells

Hearing the footsteps fading away, Minna cautiously poked her head out from under the stairs and sighed

Damn it! How could she ignore it? In such an important place, there must be guards! Hasn't she only seen one during the day? She didn't meet her when she came in just now, and it was probably because the guard happened to leave that he couldn't find out!

She hid her body again in the shadows at the bottom of the stairs to the dimly lit blessing in the secret room, the guard shook in front of her eyes twice, but did not notice her in the dark, only hoped that the person who was hanging up would not make a sound, otherwise she would be in danger Minna noticed that when she hid at the bottom of the stairs just now, the man seemed to come to her senses and glanced at her

She waited anxiously for the guards to finish their work, and faintly heard a woman's voice from the depths of the aisle, as if begging the guards for some water, Minna's eyes widened

That was the voice of Mother Dora! Here she is!

Minna held back the excitement in her heart, listened carefully, and found that Dora didn't ask for water for herself, but wanted to give her husband some, saying that he hadn't drunk a sip of water all day Minna's heart was sour, and tears were about to flow, but thinking of the current situation, she barely suppressed her tears

Ignoring Dora's pleas, the guard coldly refused to walk out after a round, and climbed the stairs again, but after going out, he seemed to have said a few words to someone, and was going to keep vigil at the entrance of the cave.

There must be a way! She took a few deep breaths and remembered that Etta had entered the secret room from the flower room, and then came out of the mansion, which means that there must be an entrance and exit from the flower room! Visually measuring the length of the passage that the guards had walked through just now, she estimated in her mind, and felt that the end of these cells was almost the location of the flower room, and it seemed that she had a chance to find a safer way to sneak in

Seeing the silence in the nearby cell, no one would notice it, Minna cautiously slipped out from the bottom of the stairs and walked in the direction of Dora's voice, passing the hanging man, and she turned her head to look

She found that the man was glaring at her, and said a few words in a voice that couldn't be lowered, and as soon as she understood what the other party was saying, she suddenly stood on her feet, and her eyes were wide open

This person is the undercover agent who was originally planted by the Security Service to Heda's house, a horse, he is actually here!

Minna quickly approached the man and whispered, "Are you from the Security Service?" The man nodded slightly: "People are... Number 15 on the right right... Cell..."As soon as he finished speaking, he kept panting Minna was excited, and saw that he was not lightly injured, so he hurriedly took out a small bag from his pocket, but the other party shook his head slightly: "Don't... will find..."

Minna also knew that she couldn't leave obvious traces that would make the Hedda family suspicious, so she picked out a small pill from the bag and stuffed it into the man's mouth, and the man struggled a little at first, but as soon as he tasted the taste, he swallowed it obediently

This is a pill secretly developed by the Security Agency, listening to Mallory, it can "enhance people's resistance and improve physical strength", Minna has privately analyzed the ingredients inside, it is indeed possible for people to recover their strength in a short time, but they cannot be taken in large quantities, otherwise it will cause serious damage to the human body She only fed one pill, just enough to make the person last for two more days, but not to make his state significantly improved, it should not arouse suspicion

She whispered, "I will notify the outside as soon as possible and call someone to save you" The man nodded slightly, closed his eyes and stopped talking

Minna no longer hesitated, raised her legs and walked to the right passage, the light was dim all the way, she could vaguely see that eight of the ten cells of those prisons were closed, most of them were men, there were also two or three women, almost all of them were asleep or unconscious, even if they were awake, they only regarded her shadow as a guard of the night, and they did not even lift half of their heads, and the two sides of the passage were no longer prisons, but stone cells, the iron doors were closed tightly, and there were two large locks on each door, and only a small window on the door could see what was going on inside

Minna carefully moved her steps, with the help of the dim firelight to identify the number plate, and finally found cell 15, she put her ear to the iron door and listened carefully, and heard a low sobbing woman from inside, sure enough, it was her own mother, and hurriedly opened the small window to look in

In the dark cell, there is only a bed, a table and a chair, the oil lamp on the table is dim, and there is a woman sitting next to the bed, who is wiping cold sweat with a cloth for the person lying on the bed, her face is haggard, her face is pale, her hair is messy, and the clothes on her body are quite neat except for the hem of the skirt torn a few strips of cloth as bandaging materials, but when she looks at the person on the bed, she can't help crying and lying on the bed is a bloody person, who looks not much better than the one hanging on the ground outside, she seems to be having a fever, her cheeks are red, and her lips are chapped

Minna immediately covered her mouth, lowered her body and calmed down for a while, before standing up again, it was impossible for her to save her parents alone, and she could only inform the people of the Security Department of safety, but how could she stand by and watch when she saw her parents suffering? What should she do now?

That's right, water! Minna remembered that her mother had begged the guards to give her some water, but she refused, and she could do it herself!

She condensed several water balloons, flew through the small window in the direction of the bed, thought about it, took out another pill and bounced it

Dora cried in a low voice, but also found that the water balls and the leaves were floating in the air strangely, she looked up and looked around, only to find that the small window of the iron door showed half of her face, but she couldn't recognize who it was, but it seemed to be helping her She quickly took a worn-out wooden cup on the table to hold the water ball, accepted the pills, and was about to ask who was outside the door, but footsteps sounded in the aisle

Minna secretly said that it is not good, why is someone here again? There was no time to talk to her mother now, so she quickly closed the window and ran to the end of the aisle

Cell 15 was quite close to the end of the aisle, and soon she was in another torture room, similar to what she had seen before, except for some more iron tools and chains, and she didn't know what it was used for, except that there was a small space at the bottom of the stairs, and she wanted to hide inside

But after hiding in, she found that the torture room here was different from just now, there were several oil lamps hanging on the wall, and the charcoal fire in the large stone jar was burning vigorously, illuminating the whole space very brightly, and the place where she was hiding was illuminated by the fire, and she would be found as soon as someone came!

Hearing the footsteps become more apparent, she was about halfway through the passage, Minna stuck her head out to look at the stairs exposed to the light, gritted her teeth, and ran up the stairs as fast as she could, and when the guards reached the torture chamber again, she was already in the darkness above the stairs

When the guard had gone back, she was about to go back to her parents' cell to see how they were doing, but as soon as she had gone a few steps, she heard the guard arguing with one of the prisoners, and she was anxious to go back late, and would be discovered by the old gardener who had gone to bed early, and after a moment's hesitation, she stomped her foot, and then turned and walked up

The key is to pass on the information, even if she gets more water and more land for her father, it can't be compared to letting him and his mother leave this private prison early

The exit was pitch black, she reached out and touched it for a long time, only to touch the switch, and opened the door with a slight turn, this hole is much shorter than the one in the mansion, Minna is thin and small, and she has to lower her head to go out to see, it turns out that the entrance and exit are on the side of the stone platform in the corner of the flower room, this stone platform is usually used here to place flower pots and other sundries, Minna didn't expect that the entrance and exit of the secret room would be repaired here

The sky was beginning to lighten, and she hurried back to her hut, and as soon as she had changed out of her soft-soled shoes, she heard the old gardener knock on the door, and told her to go and water the garden, and she yawned, and when she had finished her work, she went back to her hut under the pretext that she had not slept well last night

She took out a small cloth bag from under the bed, inside was a small notebook and a pencil, and there were four or five pages of crooked words written on the notebook, which looked like a little girl was learning to write, she picked up the "pencil", twisted it three times to the left, and then turned it four times to the right, and pulled out another pen hidden in the pen, the refill was white, and she used the white pen to write on the blank paper, and recorded the details of the night detective's private prison, and there were two entrances and exits, the location and direction of the internal structure of the guard, etc., all of which were clearly written, A simple floor plan was also drawn

When Bai Se's pen just wrote the words, there was a faint white se reflection, which was not difficult to make out in the dimness, but after a minute or two, the reflection would disappear completely, and the paper full of information was white, as if nothing had been written

Minna folded the paper into thin strips, hid them in the braids, and went back to the garden, and heard Dorothy cursing again from afar, and she listened for a while, and found that it was only in the morning when she was delivering the vase, and the old gardener gave the flowers to another maid to send them into the mansion, which was considered to have robbed Dorothy of her work, which made the latter angry Minna pouted, and was trying to avoid it, but she had a flash of inspiration and had a good idea

She walked over with a cowardly and timid look, and when she saw the old gardener sweating profusely, she helped explain: "You are not here this morning, and we are afraid that Madame will be angry if you are late, so we asked Peggy..."

"You mean Peggy is better than me? You're suggesting I'm lazy, aren't you?! Dorothy was even angrier, reaching out and nudging Minna, "What are you?!" Dare to mock me?! ”

Who has time to sarcastically mock you, who is the person who ran to the second young master's room every night? The servants of the whole mansion have been talking about it in private for a long time, obviously you are lazy, and you are not allowed to tell the truth?

Minna secretly scolded herself, but there was still that sluggish look on her face, which really aroused Dorothy's anger, and casually overturned a few pots of flowers on the ground, and also dropped a few vases The old gardener kept shouting "stop" in pain, and asked Minna to help stop Minna pretending to stop, but in fact, she deliberately led Dorothy in the direction of the flower fertilizer, and then secretly pushed Dorothy, making her knock over the bucket and drenching all the flower fertilizer

The old gardener was furious: "This is my territory! You have to put on a show and go back to the mansion! He threw Dorothy out and looked back at the mess on the ground, and he was sad and didn't know what to do, if he reported it to the butler, even if Dorothy would be punished, he would be blamed for not protecting Heda's property

The corners of Minna's mouth curved, and she quickly changed to that stupid expression, and whispered: "Uncle, I'll buy it for you... Just buy back so much as you always have."

The old gardener raised his head suddenly, and suddenly smiled: "That's right, that's it!" I'm going to fertilize tonight, you go buy it now, and remember not to tell the housekeeper about today, you know? Minna nodded, took the money he had handed her, and walked to the back door under his escort, and left Heda's house at the cost of giving the gatekeeper a bouquet of flowers every day to coax her lover

When she first went out, she could still walk at a normal speed, but when she was far away, she simply ran up, turned the corner, saw the flower seller, coughed heavily, pretended to ask passers-by where she could buy flower fertilizer, and when she turned around, she saw the mother-in-law put away the flower basket, turned into the alley and disappeared

She followed the guidance of passers-by and came to a gardening shop, and saw the flower seller sitting at the door of the store to enjoy the shade in her heart, and when she walked into the store, she heard the clerk ask: "The best flower fertilizer from the East, ten gold coins a bag, do you want to buy some."

Minna folded, thinking that this seemed to be a little familiar, didn't the security department's code change? She coughed lowly, pointed to a flower fertilizer, and then secretly pulled the note out of her braid, tucked it between the coins, and handed it to the clerk

After the clerk quickly transferred the information to the store, he soon came back and conveyed Melonry's instructions, asking her to continue to go back to Heda's house to lurk, looking for the best time to rescue, but not to enter the private prison easily, so as not to be discovered, and also took a few more pills to give her, Minna did not refuse, and still returned to Heda's house

Although it was inconvenient to enter the private cell, she recalled the situation of her parents' cell, but remembered that there was a small ventilation hole under the ceiling in the corner of the stone room, and the moonlight that night shone into the room through it, and it can be seen that Minna, who was connected with the outside world, estimated the direction of the cell over and over again, and finally found a few holes in the grass of the rose garden, and then listened carefully to the hole, and sure enough, she was overjoyed to hear the sound of someone talking, and carefully searched for which hole was the one leading to her parents' cell, and just found a suspicious one. I heard someone behind me shouting, "What are you doing here?!" ”

Minna stiffened, slowly got up, looked back and saw that it was Esparo, looking at herself with a look of surprise, followed by the second young master Ex and a person covered in a black cloak, her mind was flashing, she had already thought of an excuse: "Young master, I found that the grass in some places here is different from other places, it seems to be very short, so I want to see what is going on..."

Esparo narrowed his eyes and asked in a long voice, "Really?" ”

Minna lowered her head and rubbed her hands with an uneasy expression: "I... Am I making a mistake..."

"Big brother, she's just a little girl, why are you so suspicious? Let's go," Exx said impatiently, and Esparo looked at Minna a few more times, then waved her down for some reason, he always felt that something was wrong

But now he had more important things to do, and turned to look at the man in the black cloak: "Let's go, you will stay in the front room, don't let the servants find out your true identity, and when the wind passes, we will send you away"

The man whispered, and followed the Esparo brothers in the direction of the mansion, but habitually glanced back at his surroundings, and suddenly remembered his current embarrassing status, and hurriedly covered his face with his cloak, and walked two quick steps to follow

As soon as Minna left Xianchao, she hid behind the wall and looked back, at first wondering who the man in the black cloak was, and why he entered the mansion from the garden. Is he a guest? Coming through the back door?

When the man looked around, his face was revealed, and Minna recognized him as Old Fox, whom she had met before, and almost screamed

Wasn't he imprisoned in the Judiciary prison on suspicion of collaborating with the enemy because of those letters? This was before she sneaked into Heda's house, and the date of interrogation was set for the day after tomorrow, how could he suddenly appear at Heda's house now?!

Minna suddenly felt as if she had caught something important
