Chapter 175 Not Dead
Mrs. Hu never left her house for a day, and she just embroidered in the house, caught up with her needlework, or lay on the bed to raise her sex.It wasn't until evening that Mrs. Hu couldn't bear the pleas of her two sons, so she walked around the courtyard twice.

And Li Shengxi took this opportunity to turn over Mrs. Hu's bed, which really turned her into a trap.

When he touched the organ, Li Shengxi was surprised. This organ is cumbersome and complicated, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find it, and it is even more difficult to decipher it.If Hu Wenruo is just a small county magistrate, and Mrs. Hu is also a mountain girl, how could they be such an institution.

Li Shengxi suppressed the doubts in her heart, and she fiddled with it a few times at random, breaking the mechanism, and smoothly touched a hidden space.

She took out the things in the secret compartment, the things in the secret compartment... It can't be said that they are very valuable, but it seems a bit strange to appear at this time.

These are two strands of blue silk tied together with a red string.

"Marrying hair as a husband and wife, there is no doubt about love and affection." Li Shengxi murmured softly, since there is an alliance between hair and hair, and he has not given up until now, there is no love, this is clearly deep affection, since affection is deep and righteous , how can there be no sorrow?How could you only see the grief overflowing on the surface?
It shouldn't be like this when a husband with deep friendship dies.

If so, it means that there is only one possibility...

Li Sheng lowered her eyes, and she continued to look at the hidden space.Seemingly seeing something, she touched the inner wall of the secret compartment, her eyes were filled with astonishment, and soon she fiddled with another mechanism in the secret compartment, and soon, a secret passage was opened.Li Shengxi walked in without hesitation.

Rong Zhi stayed in Hu's house for another day and night. It was not until the dawn of the second day that he saw Li Shengxi rushing outside the Hu's house.

"Miss Ning, why are you outside? I haven't seen you all day, so I thought something happened to you." Rong Zhi looked at Li Shengxi who was safe and sound, and heaved a sigh of relief.

Li Shengxi shook his head, raised his head and asked, "How is the warehouse?"

"A lot of valuable things are missing. I inquired about some more quietly. It is said that after Hu Wenruo's death, Mrs. Hu let go of many servants. Considering that there were many old servants among them, they were not easy to treat, so they sold them off. Some utensils were handed out and counted as travel expenses." This is not too unusual, but Rong Zhi always feels a little strange, it seems that it does not need so much money to take care of the old servants, is it really because of the deep affection between the master and the servant?
"By the way, where did you go today?" Rong Zhi asked again, they can stay here for a short time, and if they don't go back, others may become suspicious.

"I found a secret passage in Madam Hu's room."

Rong Zhi frowned.

Li Shengxi raised her eyelids, her eyes were deep and playful, she told all the ins and outs of what happened in Mrs. Hu's residence.

Of course, except for the cumbersomeness of the secret way.

Rong Zhi's original frown gradually relaxed, and he quickly understood, his eyes glowed, and he said with a little joy: "Hu Wenruo, are you not dead?"

"Very likely." Li Shengxi nodded.

Mrs. Hu and Hu Wenruo are deeply in love with each other. If Hu Wenruo dies, Mrs. Hu will not be sad, but she only has the hypocritical sadness that is used to perfuse the world, which means that Hu Wenruo is very likely not dead.

If Hu Wenruo is a shrewd person, he naturally knows that the Zhou family will never let him go after the incident, and not only that, they may even kill him.

Mrs. Hu and Hu Wenruo were deeply in love with each other. She couldn't bear her husband's death, and Hu Wenruo didn't want to die herself, so the two joined forces to create a trick of feigning death.

I'm afraid that the sophistication of the stampede at the beginning may not have been caused by Zhou's actions, but also because of Hu Wenruo's plan.

As for getting rid of the house slaves, one is afraid that people will come and go and discover the secret way, although the secret way is cumbersome, how can it be easy to gamble in this case?The second is that she is afraid that people will see her strangeness.The third is to sell utensils for the sake of spreading doubts, and her friend sells utensils for legitimate reasons-of course, she is not preparing money for the slaves, she is preparing the money for her husband.

"Where does that secret passage lead to?"

"It's close to Xichang, so I don't know whether he wants to stay in Xichang or borrow the land to go north." Hu Wenruo is really shrewd. In Jiangbei, the only place that the Zhou family can't reach, is Xichang?Use Gu Lingxu as a protective umbrella to cover people's eyes and ears.

"Xichang...it's convenient. Counting the time, the Marquis of Xiangcheng should have finished his 'suppression of bandits' by now." If he really entered Xichang, things would be much easier.

He can't mobilize other officials, but Xichang is different. Now they have temporarily formed an alliance with Gu Lingxu, and Xichang has Gu Lingxu to help.

It was rare for Rong Zhi to be a little relaxed. Gu Lingxu left the forest and Meng Gong went south. Then he could compete with the Zhou family for a while, and things might turn around.

Looking at Rong Zhi's appearance, Li Shengxi made a guess.She lowered her eyes, if Meng Songyan came, what would Rong Zhi choose to do to her?
Rong Zhi has never revealed her identity now, that's because he relies on her now, but if Meng Songyan comes, then she is an abandoned child, with Meng Songyan and Gu Lingxu around, Rong Zhi doesn't need to use him at all.She was very curious, would Rong Zhi sell her back?

"What is Madam Ning thinking?" Seeing Li Shengxi bowed his head and remained silent, Rong Zhi was somewhat puzzled.

Li Shengxi shook his head, his expression was so deep that it was difficult to tell the depth, "I was just thinking about one thing, if the birds are gone, should the good bow be hidden?"

Rong Zhi was taken aback for a moment, and he understood Li Shengxi's thoughts in an instant, and he became speechless again.

However, Li Shengxi did not intend to force Rong Zhi to make a choice at this time. After all, Rong Zhi is a person who will not turn back if he hits the south wall, and the time is not yet.Furthermore, her attitude towards Rong Zhi has always been to let nature take its course, and fight for it if she can, if she can't fight for it, she has no reason to leave herself an enemy.

Li Shengxi raised his hand, and was about to get on his horse and leave when he heard Rong Zhi say: "It must be a bow that you are used to hunting, and the birds are endless, even if it is only temporarily exhausted, if you want to put it away, it should be a good treasure. Not obsolete."

When Li Sheng heard this, he paused, and then as if nothing happened, he got on his horse and looked down at Rong Zhi condescendingly.

What he said was interesting, did he make up his mind to treat her as an ordinary "Ning Rushuang"?Pretending to be ignorant, deceiving others and deceiving yourself?
Rong Zhi wanted to let nature take its course, sit and watch the development of the situation in Northern Qi, and wait for the time to move.Or... had guessed her thoughts, and wanted to use her tricks to make her relax her vigilance?
Li Shengxi didn't speak, and Rong Zhi didn't speak, the two looked at each other silently for a while, then stepped on the stirrup, and left with Li Shengxi waving the whip.

　Rong Zhi started to mess up.
