After marrying a concubine, I have the ability to read minds

Chapter 338 Searching
However, after a quarter of an hour passed, the two met in the middle. These rooms are very normal, just like the residences of ordinary people. The furnishings in the rooms are not too luxurious, but they are not too bad. generalized.

"There's no such thing as a back room or a secret compartment, nothing."

Hongmei also said: "It's the same here, but it's not right."

Chunlan also felt this way, if there was nothing special about this courtyard, Zhao Mu, as an imperial merchant, would not need to keep such a small courtyard, and even watch the old couple at parties.

"Could it be in the front yard?"

The two quickly walked through the vertical flower gate to the front yard.

The small courtyard at the second entrance is really not big. Except for the room of an old couple who are guarding the gate, starting from the easternmost side of the front yard, there is a guest room, a guest room, a utility room, and a toilet.

The two checked together, but still found nothing.

Hongmei wiped the rainwater from her face. Facts have proved that she might be wrong. Zhao Mu may not have any deep meaning for keeping such a small yard, but she is absolutely unwilling to leave like this, so she once again Back to the backyard.

Standing under the eaves of the west wing, Hongmei looked at the layout of the courtyard and always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong, so she simply left the eaves to avoid water and walked to the courtyard. It was extremely calm, neither thunder nor lightning, but there was no intention of stopping at all.

Chunlan wondered why her sisters had a hobby of getting in the rain, but she didn't step forward to disturb her, but rummaged in the yard again.

Hongmei, who was drenched by the rain, looked around the yard, and finally she found something wrong.

She walked quickly to the left side in front of the west wing, where there was a very lush peony tree, and beside the peony tree was an abandoned well.

Why do you say it is obsolete?Because the mouth of the well was being covered by a large stone slab at least four feet square.

There is nothing strange about an abandoned well, but the problem is that there is also a well on the right side outside the door of the east wing. It looks like it is being used, the derrick is in good condition, and the wheels and ropes are complete.

How could there be two wells in one inner courtyard?

It is the original Prince Qing’s Mansion and now the Prince’s Mansion of Yujun. Dacheng has never seen any courtyard with two wells, and some courtyards even have no wells. water.

If the well in front of the west wing is abandoned, it should be added directly instead of just covering it with stone slabs.

Hongmei walked over, grasped the edge of the stone slab with both hands, and forcefully lifted the stone slab, which weighed at least two to three hundred catties, by her.

When the stone slab fell to the ground, there was a slight muffled sound, and at the same time, muddy water splashed all over the ground.

Chunlan heard the movement and came out of the wing, with a somewhat excited expression on her face: "Did you find anything?"

"Come and help."

Hongmei took out something from her bosom and threw it into the well. The voice sounded quickly. Judging from her experience, the well was about two feet deep, and this height was nothing to her.

Chunlan immediately went to the well, "Do you suspect there is something in the well?"

Hongmei said: "I hope there is something in the well. Give me your fire pocket, and after I go down, you guard here carefully."

Chunlan said: "No problem, be careful, I'm afraid that if there is something in this well, there might be a trap."

As she said that, she had already taken out two fire pockets from her bosom and handed them to Hongmei.

Hongmei must have been useless after being poured in the rain for so long, so she just used the wet fire to explore the way.

After receiving the fire bag, Hongmei glanced into the well, then jumped down.

Chunlan still heard a slight noise amidst the sound of rain, and knew that Hongmei had landed safely. She probed in and saw that a fire was lit at the bottom of the well. Thinking of something, Chunlan quickly went to the inner room. It has not been lived in for a long time, but there are still bedding and so on. She randomly found a thick quilt in the cabinet, and covered the mouth of the well. She only lifted one corner so that she could probe to check the situation, and prevent the rain from falling and extinguishing the fire.

But soon, the light from Huozhezi gradually disappeared, but the well was not completely dark, and Chunlan was overjoyed. Obviously, there was another mystery in this dry well.

About a quarter of an hour later, the bottom of the well lit up again, Chunlan quickly lowered her head and asked, "Do you want me to pull you?"

Hongmei looked up: "You don't need to pull me, but you have to pull the box."

Chunlan threw the quilt directly, and untied the rope from the derrick in front of the east wing by using local materials. The rope was very long. She tied one end around her waist and threw the other end into the well.

Hongmei tied the box that she worked so hard to move out to the rope and shook it. Chunlan immediately pulled the rope up. Even though she had a lot of strength, she was startled by the weight of the rope, secretly surprised in her heart. This box will not be full of gold, otherwise it will definitely not be so heavy.

After the box was pulled up, she was in no hurry to observe, Hongmei urged, "Hurry up, there are still a lot."

How much is a lot?

Next, Chunlan realized what a lot of concepts really are. Picking up the box stretched Chunlan's waist almost, but she didn't dare to stop, because time was limited.

He Chu, who had been waiting outside, was a little anxious. It is reasonable to check the situation, and since the two of them are together, they should be able to come out soon, but after waiting for more than half an hour, they did not come out.

He was worried, so he climbed over the courtyard wall and entered the courtyard, and then saw an astonishing scene in the inner courtyard. Boxes were already piled up around Chunlan, and only a walking path was left where she was standing for her convenience. Carrying the box and walking, He Chu took a deep breath. Isn't this box too much?
Chunlan heard the footsteps and said without turning her head: "What are you doing standing there, why don't you rush to help, so many boxes can't be taken away by the three of us and a carriage, so hurry up and move a few boxes to Get on the carriage, then send it back to the mansion, and go back to call for someone."

After that, she pointed to a few small boxes, "Those are light, hurry up."

He Chu finally came to his senses, it was already ugly time here, and it would be dawn in one and a half hours, they had to move all these boxes before dawn, or they might be discovered.

"How many more are there?" He had already seen clearly that these boxes were all brought up from the well.

Chunlan poked her head out and asked Hongmei in the well, "How much more?"

"There are still seventy percent below."

He Chu also heard Chunlan's message, so he didn't delay any longer, picked up two boxes and started to leave, but Chunlan stopped him: "The gatekeeper won't wake up, you just drive the carriage to the gate of the courtyard, so that you can still go to the gate." Can be faster."

He Chu: ...

It was the first time he saw such an arrogant thief, who went directly to the courtyard door without climbing the wall.

But whatever, convenience is real.

After moving back and forth four times, there was no room for anything in the carriage, so He Chu drove the carriage away.
