Chapter 80: The Chamber of Secrets
Early the next morning, Zhang's house.
"Sir, there are a lot of people watching near Zhang's house, should I go out and get rid of them?"
"No, as long as they don't make a big move, let's not bluff, just protect our chastity."
"Uh-huh......
"Do you have anything to say?"
"Nothing!"
"Xiao Tian, you've been with me for so many years, and I still don't know you? As soon as you have something on your mind, you will want to find something to do and divert your attention. After these people came back from Zhenzhen, they started to stare here, and you can't just find out."
"Mr. Lu is wise!"
"Say it! What the hell is going on?"
"I, I think, I want to meet the Golden Sting!"
"You want to prove that he won't be in the same boat as Xu Mingyuan, right?"
"I have been the same brother as him for 15 years, and he is definitely not this kind of person who admires power, how could he do such a thing? Besides, he also saved Zhenzhen, which is enough to show that he is helping us."
"I understand what you're thinking, I've seen this kid a few times, he's of good character, and his father is a man of great virtue. But the question is, how do you meet him?"
"Go to Xu's house!"
"To the Xu family? Won't that scare the snake?"
"I don't think so, Xu Mingyuan thinks that Zhang Zezhen must be in Zhang's house, so he will send people to guard him day and night, but if we take the initiative to attack, maybe it will interfere with his sight?"
"You're taking too much risk! Even if Zhenzhen is fine, you will be exposed!"
"The people who came to the Zhang family to ask for Jinyulou before already know about me, so there is no need to hide anymore."
Lu Gaozhi paced back and forth in the house, hesitating.
"It's a caution, but it's a very risky decision."
"Mr. Lu, I'm measured!"
"After all, we are in the Zhang family, and there are many people involved in this matter, so you go to Zhenzhen to discuss, maybe she will have a better way."
"Why are you looking for her?"
"Don't underestimate this child, although she is a woman, her insight and courage are not inferior to men. And you've always been upright and lacking in flexibility, and she's just the right thing to make up for that."
"Got it, sir." Xiao Tian agreed, but he was very unconvinced, after all, he was also from a famous family, couldn't he compare to a rural girl?
"You go and write a letter to her, and then ask Fu to send it over."
"Hmm."
Xiao Tian wrote down his thoughts and then went to find Fu.
"Sister-in-law, please hand this letter to Zhang Zezhen, please be sure to give it to herself! Thank you!"
"Got it, Master Xiao."
Fu Shi came to the field with the tools used to plough the land, and saw that the little sister was staring at a cabbage field, and her hands seemed to be pruning something.
She didn't dare to shout loudly, so she could only walk up to her and say hello again.
Zhang Zezhen also saw her sister-in-law coming, but this time she just watched quietly and did not speak.
"Zhenzhen, this is the letter that Xiao Junshi asked me to give you."
"For me?"
"Hmm."
Zhang Zezhen opened the letter in the book with half a doubt, and wrote: Miss Zhang, I plan to go to Xu's house to see Jin Zhen, that is, the person you are, what do you think?
She felt very strange, Xiao Tian was obviously a military officer and had a lot of insights in decision-making, why would he ask herself this question.
"Sister-in-law, did he say anything else?"
"No, just say if you have something to say, just tell me, and I'll relay it directly."
"Uh...... That's it! Then I'll think about it."
"Then you think about it first, I'll go to work first, today your eldest brother went to Jinyulou to help, and I'm left alone."
"I'll help you later!"
Zhang Zezhen looked at the letter and suddenly remembered one thing, that is, she was locked in the storage room
I don't know if that person is still there, maybe I can let Xiao Tian tell Jin Yu that he is in the Xu family, and it is easier to investigate. new
She ran to Fu's side, "Sister-in-law, I'll help you work!"
"Have you figured out how to reply?"
"Well, I'll tell you later, you can also bring this letter back and let him burn it."
Fu Shi nodded.
The two were busy farming in the fields, and Zhang Zezhen was afraid of being discovered by others, so she could only hunch her waist as much as possible. It's just that this position is so uncomfortable!
When it was time for lunch, Fu Shi looked at the weather, and it was time to change back.
"You go back to the pigsty first, and the second child will bring you the food!"
Zhang Zezhen leaned into Fu's ear and whispered something to her.
The two looked at each other, understood what each other meant, and separated.
The first thing Fu Shi did when he went back was to find Xiao Tian.
"Sister-in-law, what did she say?"
Not only Xiao Tian, but Lu Gaozhi also wanted to know Zhang Zezhen's thoughts.
"She told you to burn the letter."
"Gone?"
"It is also said that there is a secret passage in the storage room of the Xu family, and there is a person underground, but he can't speak."
"Who is it?"
"She said she didn't know either, the secret passage was locked, and she couldn't open it, so she could only hear someone knocking underground. Zhenzhen said, if you go to Xu's house, please tell Jin Zhen about this."
"It seems that Zhenzhen is agreeing with you to go!" Lu Gaozhi nodded happily, "It's worthy of being my apprentice, hahaha!"
"Sir, you're going to examine her again!" Fu asked.
"Not exactly, but she did have the idea, but she's already passed the test!"
"The Xu family actually hid a big living person? Who is Xu Mingyuan?"
"You'll have to ask Jin Zhen to find out."
"What are you going to do after you go to Xu's house? Where did you call him out, besides, I heard that he has been following Xu Mingyuan all along."
"Looks like I'm going to have to make some noise to get the Golden Sting to notice me."
"Be careful!"
"Yes, sir."
When the night was dark and everyone was asleep, Xiao Tian secretly left Zhang's house, he observed nearby, there was only one person who was watching, in order to ensure everyone's safety, he changed a flavor of incense, stunned it, and then left.
The Xu family and the Zhang family are actually not far away, and for a master like Xiao Tian, it is just a piece of cake. It's easy to come by, but it's troublesome to lure the golden stinger out.
It seems that I have to visit Xu Mingyuan.
Xiao Tian jumped to the roof quietly with a light effort, and he followed the direction that Zhang Zezhen had drawn before, and first found Xu Mingyuan's room.
Even if Jin Yu and Xu Mingyuan don't live in the same room, they must be very close.
He deliberately stepped on a tile to let others hear the movement.
"Who is it?"
Seeing that someone found out, Xiao Tian immediately left.
"Someone! There are assassins!"
Jin Zhen also rushed over when he heard the sound, "What's going on?"
"There was an assassin, on the roof of the lord's house just now!"
Xu Mingyuan got dressed and came out to check the situation, "Do you see who is clearly?"
"No, he's all black, and he's dodging so fast that he can't see anything."
"Master, I'll take a look, don't come out of the house!"
"Hmm." Xu Mingyuan nodded.
"And you, you must stay by the master's side, and you can't be a little sloppy, you know?"
"Yes, Kim-sama!"
Jin Yu chased him out, he carefully checked the surrounding situation, and listened to the next person's statement, this person must be a master, it should be ......
Xiao Tian sat quietly on the book outside and saw the golden sting come out.
He greeted happily: "
Hey! Here's it!"
The golden sting angrily scolded, "Be quiet! What are you doing here? I almost missed it!"
"Long time no see!"
"Don't talk about this uselessness, say it quickly! Otherwise, I'll arrest you and go to see Xu Mingyuan!"
"I know you won't."
"What the hell is going on?"
The two looked at the surrounding situation and made sure that there was no one, Xiao Tiancai said, "There is a secret passage and a person in the storage room of the Xu family." With that, he left.
Before leaving, he also left a person at the door of Xu's house!
Jin Zhen didn't have time to react, and glanced at the man in front of him, isn't this the man who is watching in Zhang's house?
He carried this person back and went directly into Xu Mingyuan's study.
"Sir!"
"How? Did the Assassins catch it?"
Jin Yu shook his head, "There is no trace of chasing him out, I looked around and found only this person, and then I brought him back."
Xu Mingyuan stepped forward to take a look and asked, "Who is this?"
"This is the person we sent out to keep an eye on the Zhang family."
"What?" Xu Mingyuan's eyes showed a fierce light, "The Zhang family is provoking! Looking for death?"
After a while, the man woke up in a daze.
After opening his eyes, he saw that the people in front of him turned out to be Xu Mingyuan and Jin Zhen, thinking that it was a dream, so he closed his eyes again, and kept muttering, "Thanks to a dream!"
The golden sting kicked it awake, and this time the man was completely awake, this was not a dream!
"Master, Mr. Kim? How did I end up here?"
"I'm going to ask you more!"
"Me? I don't know, I was staring at the Zhang family, and I saw that their house was dark, and then I was sleepy, so I fell asleep in a daze, and I got up and was here."
"Why is it just you and the others?"
"Others, others, should still be there, right?"
"Rubbish!" Xu Mingyuan looked at these useless things and was very angry. "Then have you seen Zhang Zezhen? I've been staring at it for days, do you have any results?"
"Nope! After Zhang Zezhen escaped, it seems that he did not go back, and the Zhang family still did what they had to do as always."
"Are you sure?"
"Sure, we've surrounded their house to death, and we've never seen her at all."
"How is this possible? The people I sent out have never seen her, so could it be that she has disappeared from the world?"
"Master, will she leave the city?"
"That's impossible, I sent someone to keep an eye on the exit of the city, but I didn't find any trace."
"Then this person may have come today to warn us and ask us to release him!" Jin Yu speculated.
"You mean to say that their family thinks Zhang Zezhen is in the Xu family?"
"Yes!"
"But we let it out!"
"But the problem is, they didn't see her in person. It stands to reason that the first place she asked for help when she escaped was the Zhang family, and since she didn't go back, it means that the person didn't come out."
"This sinister woman! What a trick!" Xu Mingyuan thought for a while and said, "Jin Yu, tell them to expand the search area, and they must find her for me!"
"Yes!"
"And what about him?" Jin Zhen pointed at the man.
"Pull it out, dispose of it, useless things, not worth staying in this world!"
"Yes!"
"My lord spare my life, spare my life! I don't dare anymore!"
After the matter was dealt with, Jin Yu also went back to his room to rest, and at this moment, he finally had time to think about what Xiao Tian said just now.
Storage? Person? Secret passages? What the hell are they?
Isn't the storage room the place for Zhang Zezhen? He couldn't figure out how a house so dilapidated could have a secret passage, how much more attention-grabbing! If you want to be safe, it has to be Xu Mingyuan's room.
He didn't know if it was true or not
So, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one this time, he thought he was patrolling around and quietly came to the storage room.
"Why is it locked again?"
As soon as he wanted to smash it open, he took it back, if Xu Mingyuan found out, he would definitely suspect himself, and in this way, his efforts for so many years would be wasted.
