Chapter 13: The Pursuit
"My lord, this ......"
The result in front of him was something Ah Fei never expected, it turned out that the real culprit who almost disabled his eyes was actually an organ that was enough to accommodate the space of a person who was not fat.
"The commander is really like a god, I can't imagine that I can even guess this, admire, admire!"
Qiao Yunsheng's face was full of admiration, and he didn't forget to hug Tang Jianqiu while speaking.
"Lord Squire has won the prize, and the top priority is to bring people into this secret passage as soon as possible."
"What the pacification envoy said is very true, and if this is the case, then call a few people to go with you."
Just as Qiao Yunsheng was about to bring a few people he trusted in, Tang Jianqiu also planned to bring a few people to check it out.
Ah Fei, who was already righteous, didn't think about it, took the initiative to take the lead, and proposed:
"Be careful, sir! The small ones are for you. ”
Now that they have decided to go, they will face an unknown and what kind of traps there are.
"Okay, Ah Fei, be careful!"
"Yes!"
After that, several people entered the secret passage to inspect it, and unexpectedly found that the interior was even bigger than they thought.
Several officers and soldiers lit the dim hole with torches in their hands;
The space here is like a tunnel, and you don't know where it leads.
As they look for exits, they look for things that can be exploited around them, so as not to miss any important clues.
Who would have thought that they would see the bottom not long after they had gone, and everyone was deeply surprised to see this dead end, there was no way, then the clues they currently had would be broken here!
"What's going on? It's a dead end, could it be a trap to lure us? One of the officers and soldiers really couldn't hold back a broken sentence in his mouth, but Qiao Yunsheng, who had a certain amount of experience, didn't think so.
The bad guy is also from the second grade, and he still has some technology, and he quickly denied the person's opinion.
"If it were a trap, we should have been sealed underground or set up all sorts of traps here, instead of luring us in and doing nothing.
If the other party really wants to divert the tiger away from the mountain, why dig a hole? Wouldn't that be a waste of time? I'm afraid there is something else going on in this matter. ”
"Is there a possibility? This hole has not been dug yet, but he himself has not had time to deal with it before his subordinates discovered it first. ”
In the face of such illogical remarks, Qiao Yunsheng looked a little disappointed, if the other party was really a smart person, he would not design like this.
The question is why the other party wants to set up this secret passage, and what is the benefit to him?
This is exactly what makes them incomprehensible.
Tang Jianqiu didn't get involved, he knocked on the wall by himself, patiently listening to the rhythm of the beating.
He slowed down his strength as much as he could, and slowly buckled the wall.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Ah Fei couldn't understand it, so he couldn't help asking, "Lord Tang, what are you doing?" ”
"What he said just now reminded me that there must be a mechanism in such a big place, and I won't dig such a big hole for no reason.
I had been to Wenxuan Pavilion before, and found that the foundation was relatively soft, so I speculated that there must be something unexpected in this stone wall. ”
Seeing this, the rest of the people followed suit, and they did not dare to let go of an inch, for fear of missing any important clues.
The whole process took about a stick of incense, and after some beating, one of the guards noticed that the sound was not right, and hurriedly shouted:
"Squire-sama! Pacify the Lord! Listen! ”
The two of them naturally didn't dare to be ambiguous, and immediately stepped forward to check, and after listening to it, they were even more sure that there must be a mechanism here!
After a burst of continuous shooting, Qiao Yunsheng's heart was shocked, and he couldn't calm down anymore:
"Strange! This wall is empty, it's made of sand! ”
After careful inspection again, Tang Jianqiu found that there was a not-so-obvious mechanism on this wall.
This mechanism is about the size of the palm of your hand, and if you don't look closely, you think it's just an inconspicuous stone.
"Squire-sama, I pressed it."
Because he didn't know if it was a trap or something else, Tang Jianqiu had to remind them first, so that he could be prepared.
"Good!"
The people who came were on first-level alert, and they were very vigilant in their eyes, lest all kinds of mechanisms be launched around them.
Tang Jianqiu thought of what might happen and was mentally prepared.
He tried to press it, and then there was a small sound.
On the other side of the wall, a secret door appeared, which caught several people off guard, and they didn't dare to let down their guard, and vigilantly took their weapons to go in to check.
Tang Jianqiu is responsible for taking the lead, and Ah Fei is responsible for breaking the back, so as not to suffer the enemy on his back.
After entering the secret door, there was a man in ragged clothes and a mantle in the deepest part of the room, who looked like he had been tortured greatly.
He was very helpless surrounded by iron, and he was especially excited when he saw that there were many people as if he saw all the hopes.
The man crawled over, his dim pupils finally coating himself with a layer of light, and he clung to the cage that restricted his freedom.
"Finally someone came to my rescue! Little brother has finally waited for this day! ”
"You ......"
Qiao Yunsheng, the strange man standing in front of him, only felt strange in front of him, and he didn't know who his surname was, who he was, and why he was here.
Only then did the man realize something, he looked a little helpless, his expression was full of sorrow, and he cried out in great desolation:
"Judging from the adult's official uniform, the two must be the squire of the criminal department and the pacification envoy, right? The younger brother's name is Guo Shihao, and his father, Guo Zixu, was imprisoned here by thieves, and I hope that the two adults will let me out! ”
His tone was almost pleading, and the miserable appearance was heart-wrenching, which showed how mistreated he had been in the cave.
"Do you remember the thief?"
This matter was very important to Tang Jianqiu, and he hurriedly asked, but who would have thought that he would not get a satisfactory answer.
"My lord, my little brother hasn't eaten for a long time, can you discuss the specific matter later? Wait for the younger brother to have food and clothing before discussing. ”
Guo Shihao finally escaped, and in this situation, he just wants to pad his stomach first, after all, he has strength when he is full, which is also human nature;
Tang Jianqiu realized that he had lost his temper, and he said with a little embarrassment:
"Okay, a few of you will first open the cage for Ben Zhenfu, and then send someone to inform Madame, so that she can ask her people to prepare more meals, the little young master must be hungry."
"Yes!"
After that, a group of people waited for separate actions, and the Jinyi guard, who was quick with one hand and foot, immediately told the housekeeper here about the matter, how dare the housekeeper slack off?
Considering the difference between men and women, he was afraid that a big man would be offended by breaking directly into his wife's boudoir, so he first told the woman's personal maid about it, and then the maid passed the news to the woman.
When the woman heard that she was completely sleepy, she was overjoyed, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised a smile, and she grabbed Zhu'er's little hand in excitement.
The woman was teary-eyed, and in order to make sure that she had heard correctly, she asked the maid to repeat:
"What did you just say? The eldest young master is back? ”
How dare Zhu'er deceive? She nodded vigorously and said truthfully:
"Yes, madam, the eldest young master, he is back, he was found by the pacification envoy and the squire, it is said that the young master was very weak when he found it, you go and take a look!"
The woman wept with joy and almost didn't even have time to put on her shoes.
She sped up her dressing and ran into the hall as soon as she was done, so as not to miss the best time.
When the woman arrived, Guo Shihao had already been rescued by Jinyiwei.
At the moment when he saw his mother, Guo Shihao couldn't bear the excitement in his heart anymore, and hugged him like a child who had been robbed of his toy.
After many days, the mother and son finally met!
The son who has been looking for so hard has finally been found!
The two hugged each other tightly, and the woman burst into tears, saying from time to time that it would be good to come back.
Guo Shihao's mood is not like this? He gently soothed the woman's back, took a breath, and finally managed to suppress the tears that were about to fall.
"Mother, the child is not filial, so you are worried."
"Hao, you don't know how hard your mother has been looking for you during this time, your eyes are almost blind from crying, and your mother is looking forward to such a day day and night, and she finally sees you!"
After comparison and the woman's own admission, the person imprisoned in the prison was the eldest son Guo Shihao that the woman had painstakingly searched, and no one was bold enough to pretend to be like this.
"Mother, don't be sad, isn't the child back? The reason why the child is here is thanks to the Lady of the Pacification and the Squire. ”
Only then did the woman realize that she was abrupt, and in her excitement, she ignored Tang Jianqiu and Qiao Yunsheng, who had the greatest credit.
She immediately let go of her hand, came to the two of them, and was about to kneel down and kowtow to thank them.
When they saw this, they immediately lifted the woman up, and they thought that this was just what they should do, and that they did not need to receive such a great gift.
Maybe for them, this is just a big thing, but for Guo Shihao's wife, it's different, this is her heart!
"Two lords, the courtiers really don't know what to say! Keep the two gracious ministers in mind, and please give orders if you need them in the future! Guo Jiading should go all out!
Howe, thank you two adults! ”
"Thank you two adults for saving the little brother, the little brother is grateful!"
Just as Guo Shihao was going to follow his mother's example and kneel down to the two, Tang Jianqiu and Qiao Yunsheng didn't know what to say for a while in the face of this situation, so they stepped forward to help each other up.
"The two of you are really polite, the little master is still hungry, everything will have to wait until the supper is finished."
"Well said, well said! The courtiers will ask their subordinates to prepare, and if the two adults don't dislike me, I will ask my subordinates to prepare more. ”
"Then there's Mrs. Law."
After finishing the supper, the woman, Guo Shihao, Tang Jianqiu, and Qiao Yunsheng were asking questions in the hall, and Guo Shihao was even more mentally prepared, planning to tell the two of them all about what they had encountered during this time.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to tell the detailed process, Tang Jianqiu spoke first: "Madam, think about it, has Dr. Guo offended anyone?" ”
"This ...... It's impossible, the husband is honest and benevolent, and he doesn't know any enemies, and the eldest son is also a scholar, who is kind and likes to make friends, but he doesn't necessarily know any enemies. ”
This is exactly the suspicion of the whole case, Tang Jianqiu is even more confused;
"That's strange, Doctor Guo and Ling Lang didn't offend anyone but they were murdered, fortunately, Gongzi is fine, but Doctor Guo's whereabouts are unknown now,
The Guo family has suffered misfortunes repeatedly, if it is a coincidence, it is too much to say, Mrs. think about it, what kind of changes have happened during this time, doesn't Mrs. think it is strange? ”
