It is better to choose a day than to hit the day, and the time for our action is chosen on this night. As soon as it got dark, we closed the shop, rented two fast horses in the town and drove back to Anyi County.

As for Lao Mu, he hasn't seen anyone since the day after he came back from the mountain. Because he's usually so elusive, I didn't make much of a fuss.

Actually, I have some questions I want to ask him, and I guess he should have something to ask me, but I missed it intentionally or unintentionally, as if I had some consideration that it was not the time to be honest with each other.

After entering the city, we first found a place with few people and walked around, and waited until about three watches before we came to the predetermined place, which was outside the corner gate on the east side of the county guard's mansion.

The reason why this place was chosen as a breakthrough is because every day around the third watch, the people in the house will transport the day's kitchen waste from here and hand it over to special people to transport it. For such a large mansion, it is understandable that the household garbage produced in a day is pulled by trucks.

And the location of our ambush happened to be the few minutes when the corner door opened at the time of this handover.

"After a while, the people in the house will open the door and let the people who collect the waste in, we just follow the end quietly, go in and walk a few steps and turn right to the backyard under the kitchen, we turn left while they are not paying attention." Ru Ji explained.

I gave him a thumbs up, and then said, "You stay here later, and I'll just go in alone." If you don't see me out in two hours, go back to the store! ”

When Ji Ji heard this, he exclaimed as if his tail had been stepped on: "Huh? Why? ”

"Didn't you say you would listen to me? Still ask why? I said solemnly.

"But..."

"Don't do it, the work of looking at the wind is also very important! If I'm caught, you'll have to find a way to save me! I comforted him.

Although he didn't refute again, his brows were already twisted together, obviously a hundred dissatisfied, but before he could say anything, the corner door had already opened, and several strong men who collected garbage began to walk inside, and I quickly dodged and followed. There seemed to be a faint sigh of helplessness behind him.

It was so dark that even if the people in the house carried lanterns, the shadow of the lights couldn't shine on the last person, not to mention that the little servant yawned and was listless, and he didn't notice that a few people came and put them in.

It was because of his carelessness that my infiltration went quite smoothly, and with the super strategic guidance provided by Ru Ji, I quickly arrived outside the study of Lord Gunjo.

The lock on the door of the study is also useless, because Ru Ji told me that the bolt on the lattice window next to the door has been broken for a while, and it has not been repaired, and it can be opened smoothly with a thin piece of bamboo and a stroke along the edge of the window.

In this way, I easily entered the study, and followed the instructions on the map to the place where he spoke of dripping.

The floor here is covered with wooden floors, I lit the fire and looked at it carefully, and sure enough, I found that there was a wooden floor with traces of grinding on the edge, and the traces were very new, as if it had been moved recently, and I tapped it with my fingers, and the sound seemed very hollow, so I used the knife I brought with me to pry it up along the edge.

After a few pries, this small piece of floor was loosened, and when I reached out and lifted it, I saw that a one-foot-square, bronze sign was revealed, with gossip graphics clearly drawn on it.

It seems that Zuo Ji's conjecture is wrong, such a small place, even if it is opened, it will not allow people to enter and exit, where will there be a basement or something? It's a lot like a safe.

Since it is a safe, it will definitely not be easily opened, I see that this gossip figure is three-dimensional relief, there are still some gaps on the side, I know that there must be some method here, it is estimated that you need to press the pattern in a certain order to open.

What kind of order will it be? I'm worried.

Speaking of the order of the gossip, you will definitely think of the innate gossip: Zhen four, Li three, Dui two, Qianyi, Xun five, Kan six, Gen seven, Kun eight. and the day after tomorrow gossip: Kun 2, Dui 7, Qian6, Kan 1, Gen 8, Zhen 3, Xun 4, Li 5. Although the acquired gossip is more popular, who knows if the county keeper will be a believer in the ancient innate gossip?

Meng definitely can't do it, you have to think of other ways to do it. After looking at this gossip map back and forth for a while, I suddenly had an idea, pulled a hair from my head, and slowly probed along the gap of the gossip map, and I really found that the hair could suddenly go deeper in a certain position, indicating that the caulking of this lock is currently in this position.

Combined with the shape of the Bagua Yin Yang Fish Diagram, I began to draw the structure of this lock in my mind! It turns out that after pressing the eight hexagram floats around, the yin and yang fish in the middle will rotate, and every time you press to turn a layer, after all eight layers coincide, the lock should be opened!

Thinking of this, I kept testing with my hair, and gently tried to press the eight directions button of the Bagua diagram slightly, and felt that there was movement in the caulk, and the hair had a downward trend at the same time, which meant that the button was right, and on the contrary, the hair would be bent, indicating that this delicate combination lock was about to be locked.

This method really requires a lot of patience, and I need to keep leaving messages outside while studying it, which really feels double pressure! Fortunately, the hard work paid off, more than half an hour later, "Kala", the gossip lock was finally opened, the yin and yang fish pattern began to rotate back and forth, and the entire lock surface began to sink, and the secret space of the county guard house was about to open!

I took a step back, staring intently at the movement of the lock, but I only heard a "whew", and felt that something was about to come down from the top of my head, and when I looked up, there was already a big hole in the ceiling, and a black thing was sticking out of the hole and falling into the place where I was now standing!

I was startled and scrambled to dodge, but the thing stopped as it approached the ground, and when I looked closely, it was actually a wooden staircase!

It turns out that there is a secret room, and the lock is useful, but it is not under the floor, but on the ceiling!

I remember when I was outside, I saw that the row of houses where the study was located only had one floor, but the design was all sloped roofs, so there should be some space between the ceiling and the real roof, and nine times out of ten this secret room was in that position!

I was overjoyed to think of this, and stretched out my feet to try, and the stairs seemed to be quite strong, so I stepped on my feet, intending to climb up.

Before I reached the second step, there were suddenly several strange metal collision sounds overhead, and the ladder under my feet suddenly pulled upward, I was caught off guard, and fell backwards, and the ladder was withdrawn into the hole, and as soon as the hole was closed, a rapid silver bell rang out!
