Wu Zheng, who was full of curiosity, was sure that there was no exit in the passage, and it should not be at the bottom of the water prison, otherwise Liu Fu would not have carried the person in the cage along the stairs all the way to the waist.

That is to say, the entrance to the more comfortable place that Liu Fu said should be somewhere from the iron gate down to the middle of the stairs.

Just as Wu Zheng wanted to go down the stairs carved out of the stone wall of the cave hall to find out, he heard the footsteps and conversation of Liu Fu and the others again. In a hurry, Wu Zheng found that there was a depression in the iron gate, on the opposite side of the stairs going down, and hurriedly jumped over, curled up his thin body, and lay down in it with bated breath.

After only a dozen breaths, the two subordinates of Liu Mansion walked up the stairs, and at this time, the woman with the cloak was missing from Liu Fu's back.

"Liu Yong, don't you really have to watch her eat something?"

"No, as the saying goes, birds die for food, and people are the same, they have been hungry for three or four days, who can bear the food at present?"

"Let's go back and send Mrs. Zhu down to take a look again, and the injury on the body is so serious, even if the master wants to enjoy it, I'm afraid he has to heal the injury first." ”

"Do you want to worry about it?"

"Okay, then go back and tell the butler. ”

With that, the two walked out of the iron door and re-locked it from the outside.

Wu Zheng, who was lying in the dark depression, did not appear until the footsteps of the two could no longer be heard in the passage. He came to the iron gate and touched the fist-sized brass lock on it, but did not pay attention to it, and then walked down the stairs to the bottom of the water prison.

Without looking closely, the water stain on the steps soon revealed a hole deep into the stone wall. Because the entrance is deep in the stone wall, it is difficult to find from above.

Entering the dark entrance of the cave, turning three times and two times, Wu Zheng found that the passage under his feet was rising little by little, very much like the bottom of the Water Snake Bay, connecting the pit of the Wu family's ancestral tomb behind Wujiabao.

It wasn't very long, and it took less than a quarter of an hour to walk, and once again the way was blocked by an iron gate in front of me, and through the gaps on both sides of the iron gate, you could vaguely see the light exposed inside.

Wu Zheng reached out and touched it, but he didn't lock it, but just tied it tightly from the outside with an iron rod the thickness of an arm. took off the iron rod and opened the iron door cautiously little by little, the scene in front of him was completely unexpected by Wu Zheng.

It turned out to be a two-zhang square, richly arranged underground cave house.

The four red candles, as thick as a child's arm, are placed in the four corners of the cave, and the bright candlelight illuminates the inside of the cave.

The four walls are all covered with water-red curtains, and there is not a trace of the appearance of the cave walls. Moreover, there is not even a trace of musty smell in the cave, and there are even wisps of good aroma that penetrate the mouth and nose. It can be seen that the cave house here should have good ventilation channels.

Directly facing the iron gate is a small round table with two round stools around it. On the table are not only four white plates filled with dishes, and a bowl of white rice, but also a delicate white porcelain flask, and two small sake cups.

To the right of the round table was a large bed with the same water-red curtain, on which a petite body could be seen curled up.

On the other side of the round table is a Bogu shelf, on which are staggered with many ornaments, such as vases, jade carved lions and so on, as well as many things that Wu Zheng has never seen.

After carefully looking at the layout of the room, Wu Zheng raised his feet and walked towards the big bed covered by the water-red curtain.

As soon as he stood beside the bed, he heard a girl's hoarse and hateful words from inside:

"Old thief Liu, I won't let you go. ”

"Girl, you misunderstood, I'm not Liu Shiqing. ”

Xu is voice listening to Wu Zheng is indeed not Liu Taishi, the girl on the bed seems to move.

When Wu Zheng casually separated the curtain from it and hung it up, a pale and haggard cheek suddenly appeared in front of him, especially the eyes on his face that still had a trace of horror and were full of vigilance, staring at Wu Zheng deadly, making Wu Zheng feel a chill from the bottom of his heart.

Obviously, the clothes on her body have been changed, I don't know if she changed them herself, or if Liu Fu and Liu Yong helped her change them just now. Now, Tie Ning was wearing a thin green nightdress.

"My name is Wu Zheng, I'm not from Liufu, I came here by accident. ”

Seeing that the vigilant look in the girl's eyes did not decrease, Wu Zheng then explained:

"I snuck in after those two guys. ”

"The devil believes it. ”

Despite saying this, Tie Ning's tone was not as fierce as it was just now.

Also, with such a secret water dungeon in Liufu, it is really not easy for outsiders to sneak in, and it is no wonder that Tie Ning does not believe Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng, who didn't want to say too much to Tie Ning, had to continue in order to gain the trust of the other party:

"To be honest, I had already broken into Liufu once the night before yesterday, but I happened to be discovered by Liu Shiqing. If someone hadn't rescued me, they might have been locked up here. ”

"Why?"

Maybe it was because Tie Ning had been locked in the water prison for too long, and his physical strength was too great, so he didn't even want to make more effort to speak, so he only said three words that were so ambiguous.

"Because I came to Suncheon City to go to a relative, but that relative was put on death row because he offended Liu Shiqing, so I wanted to come to Liufu to have a look. ”

"Who?"

After all, the girl in front of him was also Liu Shiqing's enemy, so Wu Zheng didn't intend to hide it, and subconsciously replied:

"Wire Lady. ”

"Who?!"

"Iron Thread Niang. ”

Repeating it again, Wu Zheng realized that Tie Lianniang and Tie Ning had the same surname.

It seemed that there was silence for a moment before Tie Ning on the bed asked:

"Since the Wire Maiden is your relative, you must know her?"

Wu Zheng shook his head and said:

"I don't know. ”

Although Tie Ning on the bed didn't ask again, the eyes full of suspicion made Wu Zheng take the initiative to explain:

"Because it was in the last letter left by my father that I asked me to come to Shuntian Mansion to join Aunt Tie Xianniang, but when I came to Shuntian City a few days ago, I heard that Aunt Tie was put on death row because she offended Liu Shiqing. ”

"Who told you?"

"Aunt Tie's brother and sister. ”

"You mean the Iron Sword Gate's gang of wreckers?"

At this point, Tie Ning on the bed basically believed that Wu Zheng in front of him should not be from Liufu.

"I didn't ask them what sect they were. ”

"Do you know who I am?"

"...... you?"

"My name is Tie Ning, and Tie Lian Niang is my sister. ”

Wu Zheng was stunned for a moment.
