However, after a quarter of an hour passed, the two met in the middle, these rooms were normal, the same as ordinary people's residences, and the furnishings in the rooms were not too luxurious, but they were not too bad, and they could be summed up in an ordinary sentence.

"There's no secret chamber or secret compartment or anything like that, nothing."

Hongmei also said: "It's the same here, but it's not right." ”

Chunlan also felt this way, if there was nothing special about this courtyard, there was no need for Zhao Mu, as an imperial businessman, to keep such a small courtyard, and he would have to party the old couple to watch the door.

"Could it be in the front yard?"

The two of them quickly walked through the weeping flower gate to the front yard.

The small courtyard of the second entrance is really not big, in addition to the room of an old couple who guards the door, the front yard starts from the easternmost side, a guest room, a guest room, a utility room, and a toilet.

The two of them checked together, and then they still didn't find anything.

Hongmei wiped the rain dripping from her face, it turned out that she might have thought wrong, Zhao Mu may not have any deep meaning in keeping such a small courtyard, but she was definitely unwilling to go like this, so she returned to the backyard again.

Standing under the eaves of the west chamber, Hongmei looked at the pattern of the courtyard and always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say what was wrong, so she simply left the eaves of the shelter from the water and walked to the courtyard.

Chunlan was surprised how her sisters had a hobby of rain, but she didn't bother, but rummaged through the courtyard again.

Hongmei, who was drenched in the rain and turned her eyes around the courtyard, finally made her realize that something was wrong.

She walked briskly to the left in front of the west wing, where there was a very luxuriant peony tree, and next to the peony tree was an abandoned well.

Why is it abandoned? For the wellhead was now covered by a large stone slab at least four feet square.

There was nothing strange about the original abandoned well, but the problem was that there was also a well on the right side outside the door of the east wing, and the well was in use at first glance, with the derrick intact and the ropes.

How can there be two wells in one inner courtyard?

It is the original Qingwang Mansion and now the Yujun Palace, Dacheng has not seen any yard that will dig two wells, and even some courtyards have no wells, and usually have to make the mother-in-law or handyman go to the public well to fetch water.

If the well in front of the west wing is abandoned, it should also be added directly, not just covered with stone slabs.

Hongmei walked over, held the edge of the slate with both hands and forced, and the slate of at least two or three hundred catties was lifted up by her.

The slab made a slight muffled thud as it hit the ground, splashing muddy water on the ground.

Chunlan heard the movement and walked out of the wing, and the expression on her face was a little excited: "Did you find out?" ”

"Come over and help."

Hongmei took out something from her bosom and threw it into the well, and the sound soon sounded, judging by her experience, the well was about two feet deep, and this height was nothing to her.

Chunlan immediately walked to the well, "Do you suspect there is something in the well?" ”

Hongmei said: "I hope there is something in the well." Give me your fire fold, and you will guard this place carefully after I go down. ”

Chunlan said: "No problem, you be careful, I'm afraid that if there is really something in this well, there may be a mechanism." ”

As she spoke, she had already taken out two fire folds from her arms and handed them to Hongmei.

Hongmei had been pouring the fire fold in the rain for so long, and it was definitely no longer usable, so she used the wet fire fold to explore the way just now.

Taking the fire fold, Hongmei glanced into the well, and jumped down with one step.

Chunlan still heard a slight noise in the sound of the rain, knowing that Hongmei had landed safely, she looked inside, and the fire quickly ignited at the bottom of the well, thinking of something, Chunlan quickly went to the inner room, although no one lived in this inner house for a long time, but there was still a futon or something, she casually turned out a thick quilt in the cabinet, and covered the wellhead, and only lifted a corner, so that she could probe to check the situation, so as not to let the rain fall and extinguish the fire.

But soon, the light of the fire fold slowly disappeared, but the well was not dark, Chunlan suddenly felt happy, obviously, there was another mystery in this dry well.

About a quarter of an hour later, the bottom of the well lit up again, and Chunlan hurriedly lowered her head and asked, "Do you want me to pull you?" ”

Hongmei looked up: "You don't have to pull me, but you have to pull the box." ”

Chunlan threw the quilt directly, and untied the rope on the derrick in front of the east wing with local materials, the rope was very long, she tied one end to her waist, and threw the other end into the well.

Hongmei tied the box that she had worked so hard to move out to the rope and shook it, Chunlan immediately pulled the rope up, Rao is her strength is not small, and she was also taken aback by the weight of the rope, and was secretly surprised in her heart, this box will not be full of gold, otherwise it will definitely not be so heavy.

After the box was pulled up, she didn't rush to observe at all, Hongmei was urging, "Hurry up, there are many more." ”

How much is a lot?

Next, Chunlan realized what kind of concept a lot was, and Chunlan's old waist was almost broken when she took the box, but she didn't dare to stop because of the limited time.

He Chu, who had been waiting outside, was a little anxious, it stands to reason that he was investigating the situation, and the two of them were together, so they should be able to come out soon, but after waiting for more than half an hour, they didn't see the two come out.

He was not at ease, so he simply climbed over the courtyard wall and entered the courtyard, and then saw an amazing scene in the inner courtyard, Chunlan had already piled up a circle of boxes around her, leaving only a walking path where she was standing, so that she could carry the boxes and walk, He Chu took a hard breath, is this box too much?

Chunlan didn't look back when she heard the footsteps: "Why are you standing stupidly, why don't you hurry up and help, so many boxes will definitely not be taken away by the three of us and a carriage, you hurry up and move a few boxes to the carriage, and then send them back to the house, and go back to call someone by the way." ”

With that, she pointed to a few small boxes, "Those ones are lighter, faster." ”

He Chu finally came back to his senses, it was already the beginning of the ugly time, and it would be dawn in an hour and a half, and they had to finish moving all these boxes before dawn, otherwise they would probably be discovered.

"How many are there?" He could see that the boxes had been brought up from the well.

Chunlan poked her head out and asked the red plum in the well: "How many more?" ”

"There's still seventy percent down there."

There was no need for Chunlan to pass the word, He Chu also heard it, so he didn't delay any longer, picked up the two boxes and was about to leave, Chunlan stopped him: "The gatekeeper won't wake up, you can drive the carriage directly to the gate of the courtyard, so it can be faster." ”

He Chu: ......

It was the first time he had seen such an arrogant thief, and he walked directly to the courtyard gate without climbing the wall.

But whatever, convenience is real.

After moving back and forth four times, there was no longer anything in the carriage, and He Chu drove the carriage away.
