After Wang Duwei left, other people in the military government also left one after another, and it seemed that they really had a countermeasure, and they must have a big action. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info However, everyone glanced at Qin Chaoyun with surprise on their faces when they left. Mrs. Gu was also surprised by the change at this moment, and asked curiously: "Su Su, what did you write to Wang Duwei, he, he left so excitedly." ”

Qin Chaoyun really couldn't figure out the details of this old lady, I didn't know if she knew about Gushan's betrayal, and I was afraid that I would say it at the banquet, Gushan They were prepared, so they had to write a letterhead. So he covered up and said: "It's a very ordinary method, I don't know if it works, maybe it inspired Wang Duwei and his own ideas." I don't know exactly what he was up to. When the old lady heard this, she smiled faintly, and then she asked no more, and the feast was dispersed, and each went back to his own place.

Early the next morning, a notice was posted in the city saying that there was a big porridge shop ten miles outside the city, and the white porridge was full. At this moment, the victims of the disaster surged and rushed out of the city. In fact, five miles away, there are not only porridge shops, but even a large grass hut has been built, and the porridge shop straw hut is even prepared with quilts five miles away. This was built by the guards all night, without sleep.

In this way, after only half a day's work, the refugees in the city were gone, and the refugees who stayed behind were undoubtedly Khitan spies mixed in. Wang Duwei personally led the guards to search for the remaining refugees in the city, some of whom really couldn't walk, or didn't believe in the porridge shop. But most of the rest were really Khitan soldiers. Under arrest, they were killed, and according to rough statistics, there were thousands of people. This figure shocked Wang Duwei, the entire Jinyang Mansion was only equipped with 1,500 people in the establishment of the Commander's Mansion of the Upper Rank, and in recent years, the number of additional government soldiers recruited was only 2,000 people. Considering that the Khitan people are brave and good at fighting, if these thousands of people take action in the palace, plus the internal response in the army, thinking of this, Wang Duwei couldn't help but be frightened into a cold sweat, fortunately, there is this wonderful method, it really saved his life. But I can't help but become more and more interested in the young lady of this ancient mansion.

In Gufu, it was a different scene, Gu Shan's face was iron and blue after the change of value today, he wanted to scold but had nowhere to vent, his stomach was full of anger, thinking that it was his future nephew and daughter-in-law who had ruined his own big thing, and he couldn't help but be even more angry. Thinking about the current situation, he didn't know how to reverse it, so he had to contact Shishan again.

On the morning of this day, Qin Chaoyun had just met with Sui Baishan and returned home, when he saw the guards outside the gate driving away a thin middle-aged man from a distance. This man was very depressed, his hair was half a hundred, his eyes were dull, and he kept walking out under the push and shove of the guards. It's just that he muttered something in his mouth, saying that he had done a lifetime of work for the ancient mansion, isn't this unloading the mill and killing the donkey, so he will not be left alone. Qin Chaoyun didn't care, which big family didn't have such a thing. When he entered the compound, he asked the guard casually: "What did this person do in the ancient mansion before, why did he look like this, crying and making trouble at the door, making outsiders laugh at the ancient mansion." The guard hurriedly replied: "Young lady, I really don't know what he is doing in the ancient mansion, but the old man asked him to drive him away." ”

Qin Chaoyun asked suspiciously: "How long have you been in the Ancient Mansion, how can you not know what he is doing in the Ancient Mansion." The guard replied curtly: "Young lady, it's strange to say, I grew up in the ancient mansion since I was a child, and I have been in the mansion for more than ten years, and there are almost no people in the mansion that I don't know. But I really haven't met this guy, and I don't know what he does. Qin Chaoyun looked at the guards as if they were lying, but the doubts in his heart were even heavier. You must know that if it were an ordinary family, it would be nothing, but now the Gu family has not only imprisoned Uncle Wu, but more importantly, it has secretly fornicated with the Khitan, so anything that is unreasonable in the house should have an unusual reason.

The middle-aged man who was kicked out in the morning was drinking weak wine in his dilapidated house at this time, although he hated the ruthlessness of the ancient mansion in his heart, but he was the person of the ancient mansion who had no way but to curse fiercely. At this time, a young man suddenly came in the courtyard, but the middle-aged man didn't notice it at all, he still drank and scolded drunk, until the young man entered the messy house, and the middle-aged man was shocked to realize that the already light wine did not have much strength, and he woke up in fright. looked at the person in a panic, and said with a reluctant mouth: "You, who are you, a person from the ancient mansion? Then he started pumping his mouth.

The young man is Sui Baishan, Qin Chaoyun sent a letter to Sui Baishan in the morning, saying his doubts, and asked Sui Baishan to check the details of this person, and now all possible opportunities cannot be missed, so he arrived at this small dilapidated house. Sui Baishan stopped him from pumping himself and said, "Don't worry, I'm not from Gufu, but the people from Gufu really want to kill you, and I drove him away for you." My sword has just been stained with their blood, do you want to see it? This directly scared the middle-aged man into paralysis, and he kowtowed vigorously and said, "Young man spare his life." ”

"As long as you answer my question well, I will not only protect you from here, but also give you silver taels so that you can live comfortably for the rest of your life, but if you lie to me, then this sword of mine does not care about drinking blood again. With that, he threw a few ingots of silver on the small wine table. The middle-aged man was even more surprised, and while continuing to kowtow, he hurriedly said: "The little one knows everything, please rest assured, young man" After speaking, he turned his head and looked at the ingots of silver.

"What's your name. ”

"The little one's name is Guo Si"

"How many years have you been working in Gufu?"

"It's been almost twenty years. ”

"Twenty years, why haven't anyone in the ancient mansion seen you? ”

"This, now the people in the ancient mansion are all new in the past ten years, the old man before saved enough money and ransomed away, besides, this big family is not willing to ask for some older people, they all like young people. ”

Sui Baishan is right to think about it, it seems that there is not much problem with this person. I didn't care and asked again: "What are you doing in the mansion, why haven't some old people seen you?"

Originally, what Sui Baishan was looking forward to hearing was picking dung and planting flowers, or pulling swill to wash the toilet, etc., which was not noticed. But seeing that Guo Si hesitated and didn't speak, there was a worried expression on his face.

At this moment, Sui Baishan felt that something was wrong, and said viciously: "Tell me quickly, do you want my sword to ask you, or throw you to the people sent by the Gu family." ”

As soon as he mentioned losing it to the Gu family, he was so frightened that he sweated, and said in a trembling voice: "The little one, the little one guards the dungeon for them in the Gu family." ”

"Hum" All of a sudden, Sui Baishan's mind was like thunder, and he said anxiously: "Where is the Gujia dungeon? ”

Guo Si looked frightened and said: "The dungeon of the Gu family is here, in the Gu family, in the rockery in the back garden of the Gu family. At this moment, Sui Baishan understood why, Chaoyun couldn't find Wu Qinglin's place of detention. It turned out to be underground in a landscape in the back garden, not above ground at all. At this moment, Sui Baishan was extremely excited, but still said viciously: "Tell me what happened to you all these years, why you were driven out of the Gu family, but if there is a lie in it, I will tattoo more than a dozen holes on your body, discount your hands and feet, and then throw them to the Gu family, let them continue to torture you, presumably, you must have seen a lot of methods of the Gu family." Hearing this, Guo Si's face was even more ashen. Lian said in horror: "I told you, you can really protect me from here, the last time I went to the Gu family, the second master of the Gu family said that five years ago, for the sake of me working for the Gu family for 20 years, I was asked to leave the Gu family, and if I appeared in the Gu family or Jinyang City again, I would be given a good look." But I really can't live now, so I can only go back to the Gu family to ask for money, but the second master of the Gu family actually let people knock me out of the gate directly, and let me leave here within three days, or I will die. If you escort me away, I will tell you everything, the people of the ancient family are hurtful and unreasonable, and they will not die well. At this time, Guo Si also understood that this young man came for the dungeon of the Gu family, and I am afraid that he also has an enmity with the Gu family, and now he can only save his life by coercing him.

For a while, Sui Baishan had no way, he really used force on him, but it was not his own nature, and he was dead both horizontally and vertically, this Guo Si must be clear, and he would not say it if he didn't achieve his goal. After thinking for a while, Sui Baishan said: "Okay, I'll send you away, if you dare to deceive me, I will let you know what life is better than death." Then he rented a carriage with a shed, and asked that Guo Si to clean up and send him away. Guo Si stared at the silver on the table and said, "I have nothing to clean up, only ........" Stop talking. Sui Baishan saw this person's greed for money, and stuffed the ingots of silver into Guo Si's hand and said, "Take it, according to you, five years ago, you left the Gu family, and the Gu family didn't give you a settlement fee?"

Guo Si said stupidly: "I gave it, I only gave fifty taels, which is not enough for me to bet two." Sui Baishan knew that this person was really hopeless.

All the way out of Jinyang City without incident, rushed to the Hedong Festival closest to Jinyang City before dark, found a small hotel, stayed with Guo Si, and ate something simply, Sui Baishan said: "Now that I have left Jinyang Mansion, say it quickly, tell me clearly, this young master's patience is limited, otherwise, tonight is your return date." ”

Guo Si calmed down a little and said: "I was a gardener in the ancient mansion at the beginning, I was still young at that time, and I wanted to save some money to marry a daughter-in-law in the ancient mansion, so I worked very hard. The old master was still alive at the time, and he said that he was going to rebuild the back garden, but I was not happy with it. What I have cultivated with great difficulty has begun to take shape, how can I bear to watch those flowers and plants be destroyed like this. But I can only complain in my heart, the old lady's temper was very big at that time. In this way, for almost half a year, the back garden has been blocked, not allowing anyone to approach, and there have always been craftsmen choking inside, and there is a big stove in it. I never knew there was a stove in the back garden, so I was curious to sneak in and have a look. There's no one in there who knows more than I am. I only saw that there was a deep and wide pit dug in the ground, and the craftsmen were banging in the big pit, and white smoke was emitting, and I later learned that it was pouring a strong cage. Half a year later, it was said that it had been built, and the craftsmen had left, saying that they had been invited from far south.

I hurried in to see that the back garden was a mess, nothing had changed from before, except that I knew that there was a dungeon hidden under the land. It took me about three more years to renovate my back garden. The old lady saw that I was diligent and willing to work, and he also increased my salary. It's just that I've always wondered what that cage is for, how to get in. I can't just bury it in the ground, so I'll ponder it when I have time. Finally, one night, I woke up at night, and when I came back, I saw someone coming out of the rockery. I live in a cottage on the edge of the back garden. "I'm afraid that Sui Baishan won't understand," Guo Si explained.

Sui Baishan nodded, motioning for him to continue: "I quickly hid, and later I saw through the moonlight that it was the uncle." It's just that what is he doing on the rockery so late? During the day, I went to the rockery over there, and I didn't find any clues, but I knew that there must be something inside, so I went around when I was free. Finally, one day, I noticed that there was a big rock that was moving, but I couldn't push it. But I didn't give up, and I found a tool, and the big stone finally moved slowly. At that time, I didn't know that I was afraid, but I was curious about what was going on inside. When the big stone finally moved little by little, a larger stone suddenly moved to the other side, revealing a dark hole. I was very excited, but before I could be happy, the uncle suddenly came out of it with a fierce look, which scared me stupid. Although nearly twenty years have passed since this incident, what Guo Si said seemed to have just happened, and even Sui Baishan also followed Guo Si's narration, and his heart was nervous.

"When the uncle saw that I didn't speak, he gave me a mouthful, grabbed me and took me to the old master. I was really scared and stupid, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy. But to my surprise, the old master didn't get angry, saying that since I had discovered this place, I must not let anyone else know about it, and said, let me guard this dungeon in the future. I was very surprised, guarding the dungeon? The old master saw that I was puzzled and said that this dungeon is to imprison the disobedient subordinates in the house, or those enemies in the rivers and lakes, so it needs to be kept secret, not to be known to outsiders, and there is usually no one to be locked up here, but someone needs to take care of it, so I will look at this dungeon in the future. The salary doubled for me, but there was one thing, not only could I not talk about anything, but I could no longer appear in this mansion, so that I could live in this dungeon normally. Later, the uncle taught me how to open a dungeon, and it turned out that there was a ring on the back of the smaller stone, and if I pulled the ring harder, the smaller stone could easily move to the head, and the big stone door could be opened by itself. Sui Baishan secretly remembered these points, and it would save trouble when he rescued Wu Qinglin in the future.

Guo Si continued: "I followed the uncle into the dungeon and found that the dungeon was not completely dark, it turned out that there were several dark holes leading through here, there was a small hall inside, and on the right side of the small hall was a hut, and I lived there in the future." After the small hall to the left is a turning aisle, turn around on both sides of the aisle there are four cells, the cast iron doors are now open, I went in to see, there is only a stone bed and a stone toilet leading to the outside and underground, they are thoughtful. The door of the cage was built to be extremely thick, and was cast from the furnaces that had been raised before. Only leave a window hole a few inches in the top of the iron door, and things can be progressed in. In this way, I will never appear in the house again, and my salary has increased several times, and it is very easy every day except for sleeping, that is, sneaking out of the ancient mansion through the small side door at night to go outside. The key to the small side door was given by the uncle, and the uncle allowed me to go out at night. ”

Hearing this, Sui Baishan showed a sly gaze and asked, "Do you have the key to the iron door of the cell?"
