Chapter 248 Underground Room
Entering Shen Han's residence, Shen Han was not there, but only two people responsible for guarding him.
Mr. showed the token, and the two looked at each other and led them into an underground secret room without saying a word.
Layers of iron gates and maze-like terrain, if it hadn't been for these two guards leading the way, I'm afraid she would have lost her way long ago. Finally, after a quarter of an hour, the two guards finally stopped in front of a stone wall.
"Sir, please."
Since this gentleman knew that Man Xiu was about here, he should have been here. However, Qi Tianqing didn't. He knew that he might see Manxiu after this stone wall, but he didn't know where the organ was. Mo Ruo instructed the two guards to open, which would neither reveal their identity nor lose face.
But before Qi Tianqing could speak, he saw the two guards clenching their hands and saying, "Sir, my subordinates have retreated first."
"Wait a minute."
"What else can I do for you, sir?"
"You go in with me." Humph, at worst, let them open the organ and kill them! Dead people will never reveal secrets. Anyway, she went in and out of Shen Han's residence as a gentleman. Even if she was investigated, it was the gentleman who would bear the consequences.
"Sir, I dare not. The general said that only those with tokens can enter. Nowadays, only my husband holds a token, and we don't dare to go beyond the rules. Now only the stone wall has been opened for you. Please enter by yourself.
"Ye, that's fine."
Today's things are surprisingly smooth. Qi Tianqing can do whatever he wants. The two guards pressed a button, and the stone wall turned. Only then did Qi Tianqing notice how thick the stone wall was.
When she came to her senses again, the two who had led the way to open the stone wall had already retreated.
Humph! Cheap the two of them! Well, it's the right thing to see Man Xiu. At present, Qi Tianqing didn't think much about it, so he entered the inside of the stone wall, and as soon as Qi Tianqing entered, the door of the stone wall suddenly closed.
The heart sank for no reason.
The whole stone wall is dark. With many years of experience in the world, Qi Tianqing took out a small stone and toss it forward. There was a sound! It's flat!
She tried to walk forward. At first, it was a flat road, but the further back it became, the narrower it became. When Qi Tianqing felt a little uncomfortable breathing, a few faint light gave her hope.
The light is shot from the stone wall, not as dazzling as the day, not as the brilliance of the lights. It should be the bright moonlight. Qi Tianqing remembered that when she came, the moon rose.
Knowing the source of light, he slowly adapted his dark eyes and stared at the hole in the stone wall that shot into light and wind. This is not naturally formed. He must have deliberately chiseled a few more holes when building this secret room. It seems that the designer is quite thoughtful!
The road is not as narrow as before, as if it is spacious again. Qi Tianqing walked forward again, but felt more and more the bloody solemnity in the air.
The sound of a small drop of water attracted the attention of Qi Tianqing. She looked at the drop of water alertly, but it was flat. But when he looked up again, he was completely stunned.
Under a few moonlight, there is an iron cage hanging in the middle of the flat ground, in which there seems to be a bloody man imprisoned by chains. What was dripping before was not the sound of water, but the sound of blood. Qi Tianqing's hand trembled unconsciously. She came to see Qin Manxiu, and it was Qin Manxiu who led her to see the soldiers... The idea at this moment even scared Qi Tianqing herself.
"Qin Manxiu..." The person in the iron cage did not react at all, as if he was motionless when he first saw him. Qi Tianqing suppressed the tears that were about to pour out and looked around for a mechanism that could put him down, which was really found by her. But when she pulled down the mechanism desperately, it was not the iron cage that fell on the flat ground, but heard a bang, and the bottom of the iron cage automatically opened. The person who was in the iron cage suddenly hung in the air, and the chains on their hands pulled the iron cage on it, making a cling sound.
Maybe because of this sudden weight loss, the person hanging in mid-air let out a low moan. Qi Tianqing was a little relieved that he was still alive.
In order to make it sad for Manxiu not to hang in the air like this, Qi Tianqing tried to pull back the original mechanism. However, the result was not that the chain she expected was to slowly recover, but that the chain in the air was longer again, and Manxiu's hands were covered tighter. What made Qi Tianqing more worried was that his slender legs hung weakly in the air, and the blood dripped down again.
"Daw, who is so immoral! Design such a ghost mechanism!"
Qi Tianqing cursed, but he dared not touch this organ again. Huh? There is also a small button next to it. If you can't move this mechanism, the button should be able to be restored. Qi Tianqing thought about it and pressed the button. Who knows, the situation really shocked her.
The originally flat earth directly under the iron cage cracked towards the east and west. What was exposed was a terrible bayonet.
Qi Tianqing was dumbfounded and hurried to press the button to remedy it. However, it was okay not to press it. As soon as she pressed the bayonet on the ground, it seemed to be a little longer, and she was about to touch the hanging foot.
She was so anxious that she was about to cry. She came to save Man Xiu, not to hurt him! He pressed it in a hurry, but I didn't know where it was. The bayonet stopped and did not hurt Man Xiu. Qi Tianqing's heart was about to jump out calm down.
"PRESS that button seven times in a row." Man Xiu said hoarsely.
Qi Tianqing did what he said, and sure enough, the terrible earth returned to its previous appearance.
"How can I make you not hang in the air like this?"
"Wrap the mechanism next to it again." Qi Tianqing hesitated. Just pulled it once, the chain on Manxiu's hands was longer and tighter. At this time, wouldn't it be strangled by Manxiu's hands?
"Listen to me, just pull it again."
Qi Tianqing pulled it again, and the chain suddenly lifts up. With the heavy sound of the iron cage closing, everything returned to the original point.
"What I want to ask is how to put you down."
"There is also a mechanism button in the middle of the gentleman's belt, press that, and then cooperate with the mechanism three times to go down. But even if you go down, it's useless..." He said, "Anyway, my legs have been broken, and it's more difficult to escape from Zhou's house than climbing to the sky." He was swallowed back. It's useless to say it. Why bother?
"He the mother, who designed this mechanism! Let's see if I catch him or not!"
"Cough, you."
Qi Tianqing was stunned, and then realized that his current dress was Mr., and that gentleman was proficient in organs and poisons. Qin Manxiu! At this time, you still have the leisure to play tricks on me! You knew who I was, didn't you?
"Hm, my life was almost lost for you. Can you not know who you are?"
"Fuck you, I came to see you with good intentions. You fell here to say sarcastic things." Qi Tianqing stood sideways angrily.
"Ha ha, just kidding, are you really angry? Cough..."
"Qin..." Qi Tianqing was about to curse. As soon as she saw the tragic appearance of Manxiu, she choked back.
"There is not much time. To make a long story short, Uncle Yuan is fine. Don't worry. In addition, the things you want me to do are going well. The pattern on Guo Baiyu's case file is an egg-shaped jade pendant, with you..."
"Wait, how did you get in?" Man Xiu suddenly remembered something and interrupted Qi Tianqing's words.
"Well, who am I? There is nothing that can defeat me, Qi Tianqing!"
"I'm asking you, have you seen Shen Han? Why didn't he come in with you?"
"Ha ha, Shen Han, right? I have seen him in the daytime, and that's all. It's not that I cheated around. He gave you Uncle Yuan's antidote. He's simply an idiot.
"You said you saw him today? And cheated his antidote?"
"Yes! It doesn't matter. Look at you all nervous."
"What happened just now? Didn't you see him? How did you get in?"
"He was at the dust washing banquet. It's not easy to come in. He stole the green ring, stole the token, and the two guards at the door also showed me the way..." At this point, Qi Tianqing also vaguely felt that something was wrong. Yes, it was so smooth. It was really too smooth.
"Go away! Let's go!"
"Man Xiu..."
"I told you to go quickly! Don't come again!"
Qi Tianqing also realized the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly turned back, but at this time, the light was on. It turns out that this place is so spacious, with bright lights, reflecting the various patterns carved on the stone wall, which is so beautiful.
"There is a saying that the visitor is a guest. Before the host's house is entertained, the guests leave first. How is this a gift of hospitality?" Standing hand-in-hand is the real gentleman, and standing next to him is Shen Han, the idiot in black.
As the saying goes, tigers are not at home, and monkeys dare to be called kings. I heard that this is Zhou's house. The owner of Zhou's house is Zhou Ke, but now two people don't look like people, ghosts don't look like ghosts. They call themselves the master here. I don't know how your master will feel when he hears it!"
"I can't see that the little girl is quite fangled! Unfortunately, she stole my ring and general's token and pretended to be my appearance and broke into the secret room of Zhoufu. The girl's crime is a capital crime!"
"Oh? Is that right? Why have I never heard of such a death penalty in the laws of the Song Dynasty? Or did your Zhou family decide it? Is it possible that you have already rebelled and want to change the Song Dynasty?
As soon as this statement came out, the faces of the two parties immediately became gloomy.
"What? Are you speechless in my words?"
"You can eat indiscriminately, and you can't talk nonsense, girl, don't you even understand this truth? What's more, it's still on our territory?"
"Oh, I almost forgot your territory. You, since I stole the ring, did you know that I broke into Zhou's house?
"Wrong, it's from the moment you entered the gate of Zhoufu." The gentleman smiled and thought that because he quarreled with Shen Han, he accidentally learned that someone disguised him to take away Shen Han's poison and medicine, and made him sleep for a few more hours in vain, so the fire did not come in one place. If you can't catch this dressed up man, you won't be ashamed, but I didn't expect that this person would dare to dress up as him again that night and throw himself into the net!
"It seems that you are trying your best to catch me!"
"It's easy to say. But as long as the girl is willing to cooperate, how can we be willing to do it?"
"Well, it's so vulgar to call yourself Mr. in front of people, and I'm not afraid to insult the title of Mr.!"
"You... Humph, it's really a group of people. I think you, like him, can show your tongue at most."
"That's also better than you, a lackey. They treat you like a dog. Do you really think you're a human being? Have you ever heard of rabbits and dogs cooking? When you are useless, it's just a big meal in the hunter's pot, leaving no bones left, and it's your duty.
Qi Tianqing can faintly feel a trace of anger from the other party. Ha ha, it seems that I am very angry and my face is a little red.
But Shen Han next to Mr. still has no expression and action, as if these things in front of him have nothing to do with him.
