Chapter 164: The Mysterious Servant

Ye Cheng was originally paying attention to these Qinglou thugs who were constantly coming, how could he have thought that someone behind him would suddenly be pulled, if he was an ordinary person, Ye Cheng would definitely be able to resist from the inside under this pull, so as not to be dragged in, but he didn't expect this person's strength to be so great.

These thugs saw that Ye Cheng was suddenly pulled closer to the house, but they had no idea for a while, and they all looked at the old bustard downstairs, the old bustard's business was important, and when they saw Ye Cheng enter a single room, the guests in this single room were all gold owners, and the old bustard did not want to be offended, so he instructed the thugs to stay at the door and not to go in, once Ye Cheng walked out of it, he could be captured again.

Not to mention that the bustard was arranged inside, just that Ye Cheng found that the room was also brightly lit after entering the house, but he saw that there were two people sitting in front of a round table in the whole room, and one of the women was also twenty-eight years old, enchanting and charming, and was snuggling on the shoulder of a man beside her, and then looked at the man in a green shirt, and his eyebrows revealed a handsome atmosphere, about thirty years old, it was Xiao Tian, the servant of the sable guest Zhong Wanhou, asked!

"Ye Shaoxia, please sit down!" Xiao Tianwen smiled slightly and pointed to the chair beside him.

Ye Cheng said secretly in his heart: "This person was able to return to his seat so quickly after dragging me in just now, which shows that the internal force and light power are above me." But in this case, why would he commit himself to Zhong Daxia's Mansion and be a servant willingly?"

While thinking, Ye Cheng arched his hand with a smile, whenever he encountered a dilemma or something incomprehensible, he would use a smile to calm his heart first, so as to help him better think about the next step.

After Ye Cheng took a seat, Xiao Tianwen patted the hand of the woman next to him with a smile and said, "Ah Tang, go make a cup of tea for this young man, and then take this to the old bustard, and tell her not to let anyone in." ”

Ah Tang agreed with a smile in his eyes, then got up and poured tea for Ye Cheng, then walked out with the things that Xiao Tianwen gave her in his hand, turned around and slowly closed the door.

"What did you give her?" Ye Cheng asked.

"In your opinion, what will it be?" Xiao Tian asked slowly.

"Silver. Ye Cheng said without thinking.

Xiao Tianwen smiled and said, "Yes, silver is the easiest thing in the world to shut up, isn't it?"

Ye Cheng also smiled: "There is another kind that is easier to shut up, that is, the sword." ”

"I don't like dancing with swords. Xiao Tianwen put his hands behind his head, looking very comfortable.

"You don't like it, but your inner and light skills have reached a very high level. Ye Cheng asked.

"It's just some self-defense, Ye Shaoxia doesn't have to make a fuss. Xiao Tianwen said disapprehantly.

"Brother Xiao, there is something unclear below, and I want to ask for advice first. Ye Cheng said.

"Ye Shaoxia, please ask. Xiao Tian asked with a smile.

Ye Cheng took a sip of the teacup, and then asked, "Zhong Daxia is your enemy?"

Xiao Tian asked and shook his head.

"Then he is your benefactor?" Ye Cheng asked again.

Xiao Tianwen still shook his head.

Ye Cheng put down the teacup and said puzzledly: "Since he is not your enemy or your benefactor, then why do you hide your identity and hide in the Zhong Mansion? If you don't have the plan, who will do this?"

Xiao Tian asked: "The reason for this, it is not convenient to explain it to Shaoxia now, but please rest assured that Shaoxia will never harm Zhong Wanhou and Zhong Qing's hearts." ”

Ye Cheng knew that such a person was a man of words, so he no longer asked about it at the moment, but went straight to the point: "Do you know that we have been following you?"

"Of course, otherwise, how could I have brought you here?" Xiao Tian asked with a smile.

"Could it be that you want to do your best to be a landlord and invite us to drink flower wine?" Ye Cheng joked.

Xiao Tianwen smiled, suddenly stood up, walked to a sandalwood cabinet, pulled the third drawer out, and suddenly heard only a clicking sound, and the dresser facing the cabinet was slowly moved away, revealing a tunnel underneath.

This sudden change made Ye Cheng stand up and asked, "How can there be an authentic tunnel here?"

"Silver can not only shut up, but also make people speak, has Ye Shaoxia forgotten?" Xiao Tian asked with a smile.

Ye Cheng suddenly understood, it must be Xiao Tianwen who bought off Ah Tang just now with silver taels to learn the authentic secret here.

But what is the use of this tunnel? How can there be a tunnel in a green building? Ye Cheng still couldn't figure it out for a while.

Xiao Tianwen seemed to see Ye Cheng's doubts, and said slowly: "This tunnel leads to a place, but no matter how outsiders think, they will never guess where he leads." ”

"It seems that I am fortunate today, I don't have to bother to guess, Brother Xiao is also going to tell me. Ye Cheng said with a smile.

Xiao Tianwen also nodded with a smile and said, "The place where this tunnel leads is the mansion of the political envoy!"

Originally, in the Ming Dynasty, starting from Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor, in addition to the north and south of the country, a total of thirteen political divisions, that is, thirteen provinces. The chief of the political secretary is the political envoy, the probationary envoy and the commander of the capital, and these three divisions are permanent institutions, and among them, the political envoy in particular has the largest official position.

There was actually a tunnel in the back house of the dignified Shaanxi political envoy, and this tunnel actually led to the Qinglou! Ye Cheng had countless thoughts flashing in his mind before Xiao Tian asked the answer, but such an answer was absolutely unexpected, and Ye Cheng couldn't help but be so surprised that he couldn't believe it.

"Brother Xiao, are you joking? A dignified political envoy appointed by the imperial court would dig a tunnel at home, not to mention, this tunnel still leads to the Qinglou, isn't this political envoy afraid that his wife will know?" Ye Cheng must have been joking with himself at this time.

But he didn't expect Xiao Tianwen to be serious: "Brother Ye asked well, but this political envoy really dug a tunnel at home, and his wife not only knew, but also helped his husband set the route." ”

Even Ye Cheng had never heard of such an unbelievable thing, Mrs. helped her husband dig a tunnel to lead to the Qinglou? This is simply unheard of!

"If I tell the reason for this, Brother Ye probably won't believe it, so why don't you sneak into this tunnel with me now, and then let's go to the Mansion of the Political Envoy to ask what is going on?" Xiao Tian asked as he pointed his finger at the tunnel.

"Brother Xiao, you are really good at having fun, have you forgotten the task that Zhong Daxia gave you this time?" Ye Cheng reminded.

"Of course I haven't forgotten, and isn't it precisely for this reason that Brother Ye has followed all the way? That's why now Xiao invited Brother Ye to go with me, because the person you are looking for is now in the mansion of the political envoy of Nabu. Xiao Tian asked.

"Senior Luo is in the mansion of the political envoy?" Ye Cheng hurriedly walked closer, grabbed Xiao Tianwen's shoulder and asked.

Xiao Tianwen didn't speak, just smiled, representing acquiescence, at this time he shook a rattle at the head of the bed with his hand, it turned out that this rattle led to the outside, but whenever the guests inside needed it, they would shake the rattle, so that the people outside could judge which room was in trouble through the rattle, and they could serve in time.

After only seeing it for a short time, Ye Cheng heard the sound of someone knocking lightly on the door. But seeing Xiao Tianwen, he didn't open the door, but said to the people outside through the door: "Go to the third carriage outside the building, and invite a girl with slightly dark skin and black clothes to come to me." ”

Ye Cheng couldn't help but be surprised: "How do you know that I asked Aya to wait there?"

Xiao Tian asked and smiled: "If I don't even know this, how can Zhong Wanhou rest assured that he will hand over such an important task to me, in fact, it is not difficult, Brother Ye might as well come and take a look." ”

I saw Xiao Tianwen lift the curtain while talking, and slowly pushed the window open a corner, Ye Cheng came closer to take a look before he suddenly realized, it turned out that the window of this room was facing the outside of the forgetting building, and the scene outside was unobstructed.

"Brother Xiao is really thoughtful, Ye really admires it. Ye Cheng said with a smile.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and I saw a person walking in from the outside, it was Aya. It's just that Aya is still full of doubts at this time, and she doesn't know what happened inside.

Xiao Tianwen saw that Aya had already come in, so he said, "Without further ado, let's hurry up." ”

Ye Cheng didn't have time to explain to Ayado at this time, so he had to take her with Xiao Tianwen into the tunnel first, and when he entered it, he found that the tunnel was really spacious, and the wooden piers on all sides were very reinforced, which showed that it took a lot of effort to build like this.

Along the way, Ye Chengcai took the opportunity to explain to Aya how he entered here, and even Aya was very surprised, he didn't expect a Central Plains official to build a tunnel in his own house to get here.

"Ye Shaoxia, is it so unfree to be an official in the Central Plains, and you have to cultivate the tunnel to drink tea?" Aya asked with a puzzled expression.

Ye Cheng was ridiculous for a while, but when she thought about it, it was because she told Aya that this was a place to drink wine and eat tea, so she asked this question, but she didn't know how to explain it at the moment, so she had to vaguely go over.

This tunnel is really not short, and it took more than half an hour to reach the end. Xiao Tianwen took the lead in going up the ladder, followed by Ye Cheng and Aya.

After Ye Cheng went to the ground, he found that there was a large courtyard, the rockery was standing, and there were artificially created streams flowing through, and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants were unrecognizable although it was dark and could not be identified, but they also knew that they must be precious varieties.

"What a political envoy, what is built in this house is no less than the inner courtyard of the palace, it can be seen that I don't know how many people's fat and ointment have been looted to have this scene!" Ye Cheng sighed secretly in his heart.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, Ye Cheng hurriedly looked, but saw an old man in his fifties dressed as a servant walking over quickly, Xiao Tianwen looked at the old man who walked in, turned around and said to Ye Cheng with a smile: "Our political envoy is here!"
