Chapter 533: The Secret Room in the Old Mansion
Generally, wealthy compounds are built with secret rooms.
The small broken courtyard where Yang Jun used to live had a secret room, and he believed that the old mansion of the Nalan family must have it.
Often the rich are afraid of death, in addition to arranging some strict measures, others will also have a safe passage in case of emergency.
At the beginning, when the Nalan Mansion was built, security measures such as building secret rooms must have been considered.
Generally, secrets such as secret rooms and secret passages are only known to the head of the family, and after the death of the head of the family, he will pass on this secret to the eldest son of the family, just in case, so as to keep the family incense from being extinguished.
At the beginning, when Yang Jun lived in this courtyard, he turned the house upside down, and he was stunned that he couldn't find the entrance to the secret room.
He also knew that the entrance to the secret room must be the most important, and it is impossible for ordinary people to find it, otherwise it would not be called a secret room.
After Yang Jun searched for a few days, he still found nothing, so he decided to get straight to the point with Na Wuye.
Sure enough, after Yang Jun finished speaking, a trace of panic flashed in the eyes of the fifth master.
Subsequently, Na Wuye quickly regained his expression.
Na Wuye did not rush to answer his words, but lit the cigarette on his ear and took two puffs fiercely.
It took a long time before he said,
"Xiao Yang, don't hide it, there is indeed a secret room in the house."
"It stands to reason that the house was sold to you, and I should tell you this secret together, but ...... I've always been reluctant in my heart."
"Until now, I still fantasize that one day I will be able to redeem the ancestral home, but I know that you will not transfer the house again, so ...... I'm struggling right now."
When Yang Jun heard this, he immediately understood why he didn't tell him this secret for a long time.
If it were him, he wouldn't have handed over this secret easily.
He also understands the status of this ancestral mansion in the heart of the fifth master, and he thinks that one day he can redeem the mansion.
Yang Jun naturally won't sell the house, and he still wants to pass it on as the ancestral home of the Yang family.
He is not short of money, so he is destined to not be able to redeem the house in his life.
Therefore, what he has to do now is to dispel the idea of redeeming the house of the fifth master.
He pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "Old man, I guess you also know that I am not short of money, I'm afraid that your idea of redeeming the ancestral house will not come true, but I can compensate you and am willing to buy you with five big yellow croakers for this secret, what do you think?"
"Five big yellow croaker?" Na Wuye exclaimed.
Yang Jun offered this price, which made him really a little moved.
You know, a small yellow croaker can buy a good small quadrangle, let alone five big yellow croaker.
He knows better than anyone how heavy the five big yellow croakers are.
After listening to Yang Jun's words, the little fantasy in the bottom of the fifth master's heart suddenly disappeared.
As far as he knows, Yang Junguang has four courtyard houses in this alley, and I don't know how many others don't know.
Therefore, Yang Jun is not short of money at all.
In other words, there is no possibility for him to redeem his ancestral home.
Na Wuye pondered for a while, looked up at Yang Jun's eyes and said,
"Ten big yellow croaker."
Na Wuye gritted his teeth and made up his mind, "Just give me ten big yellow croaker, and I will tell you the entrance to the secret room." ….
Yang Jun listened to it and was a little unhappy with his temporary price increase.
There was a hint of murder in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
But this unkind look was still captured by Na Wuye.
He was distracted, put up three fingers, and said solemnly,
"I am the only one who knows the entrance to this secret room, and I promise that no one else will know."
Yang Jun glanced at him and said quietly,
"Old man, don't say ten big yellow croaker, even a hundred can I afford it, but how do I know that what you said is true?"
Na Wuye was stunned when he heard this.
Yes, only he knows it, and only he knows this secret
Know.
If he were Yang Jun, he would also doubt the authenticity of the matter.
However, the allure of ten large yellow croakers was too great for him to take risks.
There is no hope of redeeming the ancestral house, what is the use of guarding the secret of the secret room, it is better to exchange it for ten big yellow croaker.
After thinking about it for a while, Na Wuye threw away the cigarette butt he had smoked and rubbed it vigorously a few times.
As if he had made up some kind of determination, he said solemnly,
"Xiao Yang, I naturally have a way to prove that what I said is true."
"Prepare the gold bars, and I'll look for you at ten o'clock tomorrow."
Yang Jun saw his awe-inspiring look and knew that he had made some kind of decision.
Generally speaking, if you can say this kind of thing like Na Wuye, you will have a certain degree of credibility.
For this kind of person, Yang Jun generally chooses to respect the other party.
"Okay, Fifth Master, I'll be waiting for you at home tomorrow." Yang Jundao.
After the two finished chatting, the food over there was almost loaded, and his children and grandchildren were fixing the cart with ropes.
A few people exchanged two words, and the fifth master went back with the food.
Seeing them off, Yang Jun checked the grain store, then locked the door and went back.
The next day.
He didn't go to work, and after eating, he made a pot of good tea and sat there waiting for Na Wuye to come to the door.
Na Wuye is really a trustworthy person, and at ten o'clock, he appeared in the courtyard on the hour.
Yang Jun invited Na Wuye to the backyard living room and poured him a cup of tea.
Na Wuye was not in a hurry to drink tea, but looked around.
After seeing that the living room was still the same as before, I felt a little more comforted.
Yang Jun saw that he had finished drinking a cup of tea, so he said,
"Fifth Master, let's get down to business, I have to go back to work in the factory."
"Okay, follow me."
Na Wuye put down the cup, got up and walked to the bedroom.
Yang Jun was stunned, but he didn't expect that the entrance to the secret room was actually in his bedroom.
For so many days, he had been sleeping here, and he didn't find anything abnormal.
However, just think about it.
If the entrance to the secret room hadn't been guarded by the head of the house in the master bedroom, I'm afraid this secret would have been leaked long ago.
Yang Jun shook his head and said in his heart, he was so stupid.
He focused on the outside and didn't pay much attention to the master bedroom.
After entering the bedroom, Na Wuye came directly to the wardrobe against the wall on the west side.
Standing there, he glanced back at Yang Jun.
"Count from the bottom up, the twelfth brick."
When Yang Jun heard this, he leaned closer and looked at the green brick.
There is nothing special about this brick, there are no protruding or concave features, and there are no traces of friction from use. ….
Seeing Yang Jun's puzzled look, Na Wuye didn't speak, and directly slapped the brick three times.
"Do you see clearly?"
Yang Jun nodded, and before he could speak, he felt a sense of shaking coming.
Then there was a 'zaza, 'zaza'.
A hole in the ground was one cubic meter square.
The entrance to the cave was dark, and a stone staircase could be faintly seen leading to the bottom.
Na Wuye looked at Yang Jun and said,
"I won't go down, you can go down and visit by yourself when you're fine."
Yang Jun listened, frowned, and said, "Old man, there won't be a mechanism inside."
When Na Wuye heard this, he immediately smiled, waved his hand and said,
"Xiao Yang, what do you want, this is the refuge of our Nalan family, what are you doing with the mechanism?"
"Old man, you better go down with me and have a look, I don't know how this mechanism is closed."
Yang Jun naturally couldn't let him go.
Although we cannot punish people with evil, we still have the necessary defense against them.
Seeing that Yang Jun didn't believe him, Fifth Master Na sighed and said, "Forget it, I'll take you away."
After speaking, he squatted directly at the entrance of the cave and touched it with his hand, and the dark entrance of the cave instantly lit up.
Na Wuye walked down the stairs, and then pointed to the two buttons next to the cave entrance,
"The one on the left is the light switch, and the one on the right is the one that opens the secret room."
With that, continue to walk down.
Yang Jun didn't have time to check the two switches, so he could only follow him and continue to walk down.
"The secret room is closed from the inside, and even if the people outside know the mechanism that opens the hole, they can't open it unless they blow it open."
Na Wuye introduced as he walked.
As soon as Yang Jun heard this, this organ was really powerful, and if it was closed from the inside, people from outside would not be able to enter.
He couldn't help but sigh that the wisdom of the ancestors was really invincible, and all kinds of mechanisms could be designed.
Originally, the courtyard where he lived was set up on a stone table in the courtyard, and this mechanism was actually set up on the blue bricks of the wall.
If it weren't for the fifth master taking him, it is estimated that he would have wanted to know the entrance to the secret room for the rest of his life.
The tunnel is narrow, allowing one person to bow his head and bend over to pass.
The tunnel leads diagonally to the bottom, but fortunately, the tunnel is not long, about 20 meters or so.
After walking the stone staircase, the two came to an empty stone room.
Yang Jun glanced back at the cave and guessed the distance between the stone chamber and the ground, which was about eleven or twelve meters vertically.
And this stone chamber is more than four meters high, excluding the floor height, that is, the ground is about seven or eight meters from the top of the stone chamber.
Yang Jun gasped.
He couldn't imagine how hard it was to build this stone chamber back then, and what kind of price it took.
Yang Jun looked at the entire stone room.
The overall feeling for him is one word, big.
The stone room is very large, about five or six hundred square meters, which is almost equivalent to the entire backyard enclosing it.
In the middle of the stone chamber stand eight stone pillars that are hugged by three people, which seem to be distributed according to the principle of Tai Chi Bagua.
The stone chamber is covered with cyan tiles on the top and bottom, left and right, and it is cold and slippery to the touch.
There is an oil lamp device on the wall every few steps, a backup setting in case of power outages.
Yang Jun stayed inside for a while, but he couldn't feel dull, and he could faintly feel the wind blowing.
Yang Jun looked at it for a long time, but still couldn't find where the vent was, so he asked.
"Old man, are there any vents here?"
"Yes."
Na Wuye walked two steps quickly, came to the corner of the stone room, and pointed to the small black round holes above his head.
"These holes connect the eaves of each house, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find them unless they are specifically climbed."
"Amazing!" Yang Jun sighed.
"Of course!"
As soon as he mentioned this, the old man Na Wuye was very proud, and said proudly: "Xiao Yang, it's not that I'm bragging to you, it took more than two years to build this secret room alone, and it was specially designed by the master craftsmen of the Ministry of Works."
When Yang Jun heard this, he couldn't help but smack his tongue.
It is also thanks to the Nalan family, if it is put aside by ordinary people, let alone ask the master of the Ministry of Industry to design, even this construction cost is not something that ordinary people can afford.
"The more you say that, old man, the more I won't let you redeem this house." Yang Jun said with a smile.
When the fifth master heard this, he smiled and waved his hand,
"Don't do it, he thinks about it, besides, I don't have that money."
