Chapter 92

Xia Wuzheng practiced tying surgical knots with a thin rope, but Du Youning arrested him and sent him to Dali Temple.

Knowing that it was related to the murder case, Xia Tian didn't dare to delay, so he rushed to Dali Temple, but he didn't see Xiao Chengfeng, but luckily Ximen was there.

"What?" Ximenkong stood up abruptly after listening to the other party's message, his voice also raised an octave, "Brother Du means that the murderer is still in the Grand Master's Mansion?"

"Yes," Xia Tian answered without hesitation, seeing that Xiao Chengfeng was not there, he asked casually, "Lord Ximen, where is Master Xiao now?"

Ximenkong's eyes tightened, and then he said: "Chengfeng, he just went to the Grand Master's Mansion."

The sky over the Grand Master's Mansion was gloomy, and it looked like it was about to rain.The dark clouds rolled up and were as thick as ink, so low that you could touch them with your hand, it was very depressing to look at.

To say that Wu Yanran is also pitiful, she lost her life by accident, but she can't even make a public funeral. Firstly, she was an unmarried girl who died unexpectedly, and secondly, the day she died happened to be the day of the crown prince's birth. I don't have the guts.

Because it was a violent death, the body could not be buried at home, so as not to add bad luck.But Taishi Wu didn't care, this is his youngest daughter, and her feelings are different from those of other children.

Wu Yanran was lying in the huge coffin, completely ignorant of her father's sadness.This coffin was originally prepared by Taishi Wu for himself, and it was made of golden nanmu, thinking that he would be able to get promoted and make a fortune after a hundred years.Who would have thought that before the white-haired man left, the black-haired man would take the lead.

The air pressure in the entire Grand Master's Mansion was very low, and most of the servants lowered their heads, cautiously, for fear of making a mistake and being sent out.

Miaoyin led Xiao Chengfeng and Sun Dalian into the courtyard through the side door, unexpectedly they didn't meet anyone.The three hurriedly walked around to the rockery in the back garden, where the body was first found.

Xiao Chengfeng frowned and looked around, suddenly wondering if he was a little reckless.

Earlier, Miaoyin said that there was evidence in the Grand Master's Mansion, but the Grand Master was about to destroy the evidence.After all, the other party is still a high-ranking Grand Master, so it is not easy for him to bring too many people to search and tear his face without clear evidence.It just so happened that Miaoyin said that they knew there was a side door, and they could look for evidence first.

Xiao Chengfeng nodded after thinking about it for a while, and it is not impossible to settle with Grand Master Wu after getting the evidence.It was unavoidable that people would startle the snake with too much talk, so Xiao Chengfeng only brought Sun Dalian with him. After all, Dalian was prudent in his work and good at work, and the two of them could take care of each other.

"Miss Miaoyin, you said there is evidence here, but where is the evidence?"

Miaoyin looked around again, and after confirming that there was no one there, she went straight to the rockery and knocked three times on an inconspicuous depression.Xiao Chengfeng and Sun Dalian looked at each other inexplicably, at this moment, the rockery suddenly moved, and soon revealed a passageway, which left Xiao and Sun stunned.

Xiao Chengfeng stepped forward quickly, looked at the secret passage with his head, and saw that the secret passage was not as dark as imagined, but seemed to be full of light everywhere, and he couldn't help but wondered: "What is this? The secret passage in the princess mansion?"

Miaoyin also looked at the secret passage, and replied softly: "This is what the young lady told the servant after accidentally discovering it, so it must be."

Xiao Chengfeng's heart was pounding, perhaps because he would know the truth soon, and he really couldn't calm down at this moment.

While people are timid about caves, darkness and the unknown, they are always fascinated by primitive excitement.Xiao Chengfeng didn't know what was at the end of this passage, but he couldn't help but want to go in and have a look.

only--

"What is the evidence that Aunt Miaoyin said?"

Miaoyin lowered her head and lowered her eyes, her face was calm and unwavering: "It's a person, her name is Hong'er, and she was the maid who served Miss before."

Sun Dalian, who had been silent all the way, stepped forward at this moment, blocked Xiao Chengfeng's side, frowned and said: "My lord, do you want to go back and bring more people?"

Miaoyin raised her head and looked at Sun Da's face calmly, then lowered her head again, as if she had nothing to do with herself.Xiao Chengfeng also hesitated for a moment, and was about to tell Sun Dalian to go back to call for someone, when Miaoyin's figure suddenly tilted, and she barely stood up while holding on to the rockery.

"Aunt Miaoyin, what's wrong with you?"

"Did you hear, sir? Hong'er seems to be crying..." Miao Yin turned her ears to listen carefully, holding her breath, then her face changed drastically, and she said in a panic, "It's really Hong'er's voice! Not good, could it be Master Grand Master Did you find her inside?" After saying this, Miao Yin swayed and rushed in.Xiao Chengfeng wanted to grab her, but only tore off a corner of her clothes.

Fearing that something might happen to her, Xiao Chengfeng let go of his hand and wanted to follow in. Sun Dayan stretched out his hand and grabbed his arm, disapproving: "My lord, be careful! We don't know what's going on inside. What about ambush?"

Xiao Chengfeng anxiously said: "I don't know why, but Grand Master Wu might really kill people! After working so hard for so many years, he didn't hesitate to involve his own daughter as a scapegoat for him. Hong'er, Miaoyin and him It doesn't matter, I'm afraid he won't be merciful. I have to go, if something happens to them under my nose, my conscience will not be safe for the rest of my life!"

Even so, Sun Dalian still stubbornly stopped Xiao Chengfeng, clasped his fists to the eager Xiao Chengfeng and said: "My lord, my subordinates are going in to find out the truth, you go back to the yamen and call for someone!"

Sun Dalian said and went in, but Xiao Chengfeng pulled his arm again: "Dalian, I am with you, so we can take care of you. If something is wrong, let's get out as soon as possible!"

No matter what Xiao Chengfeng said, regardless of what Sun Dalian thought, he pushed him into the passage.

Candles were burning in the secret path, and there was a faint light coming in from above. Presumably there was another mystery on the rockery.There are reliefs carved on the stone walls. It looks like a flying Bodhisattva with powder on its head, which is considered exquisite.Seeing that the relief was so lifelike, the two couldn't help but touch it. With this touch, the rockery behind them closed suddenly.Sun Dalian rushed forward to push it away, but to no avail.

Xiao Chengfeng looked at the closed stone gate, and felt more and more strange in his heart.Now that the two had no way out, they could only move forward gropingly.Sun Dalian protected Xiao Chengfeng behind him, leaned forward and carefully guarded his surroundings.The two said that they dared not touch the stone wall again, for fear that they would accidentally trigger some mechanism.The quiet secret passage was unusually quiet, and it seemed that only the footsteps and breathing of the two could be heard.There was a faint blue light on the ground, and the further you walked, the weirder the portrait became——

The original Flying Bodhisattva gradually retracted into the wall, replaced by some hideous human heads.Those people grinned their teeth and grinned, with painful expressions, as if they were stuffed into a rock wall and struggling to climb out.Just looking at it, I feel that kind of despair is suffocating.

Xiao Chengfeng's back was a little tight, and he didn't dare to take a breath, for fear of disturbing these "people".He stood on tiptoe, his footsteps were very light, and he stepped on something like a dead tree branch, and the sound of breaking "click" sounded in the secret passage, which was especially abrupt.The two stopped in their tracks, and looked down at Xiao Chengfeng's feet at the same time. It didn't matter, they both broke out in a cold sweat.The broken branch was not a dead branch, but a human finger bone.

It wouldn't be scary if it was a finger bone, but it wasn't.That's not a finger, but a complete forearm plus the carrion of the hand.On the side of the rotting bones, there are densely packed with various human bones. It turns out that the turquoise gleam is not light, but the "wild fire" emitted by these rotten bones!
The overwhelming number of human bones is not a small number. I don't know how many people died here, no one knows, but they just fell there alone, becoming dry bones, and they can't even be buried.

How cruel, how cruel!
If Xiao Chengfeng was a little scared before, then he is already full of anger now.He didn't want to know what longevity was, but he wanted to know, what qualifications did such a person have to live forever if he killed so many people for his own longevity? !

If he wanted to continue to move forward, he had to step on these layers of dry bones, calm as Sun's big face, with a look of unbearable expression on his face.The two silently said "offended" in their hearts, and moved in a little bit.

But he said that this secret way, it doesn't look very long on the outside, but it has a hidden hole inside.

Going further in, his vision widened a lot in an instant, Xiao Chengfeng looked at the spotless "boudoir" in front of him, and a sense of unreal absurdity emerged spontaneously. "She" used to live here, "she" seems to have lived here and never left.

"Hiss..." Feeling the pain on his neck, Xiao Chengfeng raised his hand and patted it on his neck, and when he spread his hands, he saw a small bug on his hand that was a little red.

Sun Dalian looked at it with his head, and said calmly: "The water here is heavy, and it's normal to have mosquitoes... ah..." Before he finished speaking, he slapped himself on the face, the insect bite was too painful , I think the mosquitoes in the dark are more vicious.

Fortunately, there are not too many mosquitoes inside. I don’t know if there is a lack of food in the secret passage. Most of the mosquitoes are starved to death, and the rest are so vicious.

Xiao Chengfeng touched the place where the bug had bitten him, moved his neck a few times, caught a glimpse of the big bed in the boudoir from the corner of his eye, couldn't help his scalp getting numb, and beat Sun Da's face with his elbow, lowered his voice and said: " Big face, look, is there someone lying on that bed."

Sun Dalian looked over, also shocked: "It seems that there is a woman in white lying there."

The two looked at each other, and asked aloud, but the person on the bed didn't move, the two decided to go forward to see what happened.There was incense outside the bed net, and the smoke was lingering, and the woman's appearance was not clear.Sun Dalian narrowed his eyes and murmured: "It's strange, this person is clearly in front of his eyes, why can't he see his face?"

Xiao Chengfeng took a closer look, and suddenly called out: "Ah Ruo?"

The person on the bed with ice skin and snow skin, beautiful and calm, isn't it Gu Ruo?
Xiao Chengfeng couldn't help but stepped forward, Sun Dalian stretched out his hand and grabbed him, shouting: "My lord, look carefully, this person is not Miss Gu, but Second Miss Wu!"

Wu Yanran?
Xiao Chengfeng was stunned when he heard the words, and when he lowered his head again, the man's appearance changed instantly, it was Wu Yanran!

"How could it be her?" Xiao Chengfeng was covered in cold sweat, and the eyes of the person on the bed were tightly closed, but it always felt like she would wake up at any moment.

Just as Xiao Chengfeng wanted to wake her up to ask for clarification, he suddenly remembered that this person was dead, and he and Zuo had confirmed it at the time.

Before he could figure it out, a woman's scream and the sound of chasing and running suddenly sounded inside.

When the two looked up, they saw Miaoyin fleeing in embarrassment, followed by Taishi Wu dressed in women's attire.

The white skirt was swaying, and the fiery red lips Taishi Wu pursued Miaoyin with a dagger in his hand, with a ferocious expression on his face, while running, he said, "If you dare to spoil my good deeds, I will never let you go!"
