215 Chamber of Secrets(1/2)
Yu Chaoyun's eyes were covered with a dark look, and his face was always gentle and respectful, and he advised: "Auntie, don't worry, aunt, this is not the only one who gets involved in our Yu family."
While she said, she carefully paid attention to the reactions between Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Yu, and saw Mrs. Yu staggeringly sitting back again.
Yes. Yu's eyes widened slightly as if he woke up from a dream, telling himself not to panic.
This matter has not yet reached a desperate situation, and their Yu family is not alone and helpless.
The reactions of the two elders verified some of Yu Chaoyun's guesses, and her heart sank again.
Yu Chaoyun bit his lip again and said softly: "Besides, there is also my uncle. If my uncle comes forward, my uncle will definitely be fine."
Yu took a deep breath and his mood gradually stabilized again.
Yes, I can't be confused just because of Gu Yanfei.
She is the Duke of England, and she also has the Duke of England's Mansion.
The British Duke holds heavy troops, and the emperor will not be embarrassed!
Yu Chaoyun picked up the tea that the servant had just served, wiped the tea temperature, and gave it to Yu's hand considerately, saying, "Auntie, drink some tea to moisten your throat."
"What are these Jinyiwei looking for?" She inquired carefully, her eyes looking out through the window.
Seven or eight Jinyiwei were busy, knocking and spying on various places with scabbards, searching carefully every place they passed, pavilions, towers, flowers and rockery...
Looking at the posture of the Jinyiwei, it seemed like he wanted to dig three feet into the ground.
This house is just the temporary residence of their Yu family in the capital. The master who lives here is the eldest aunt except her and her uncle, and only the three of them. So what else can the Jinyiwei find?
Yu also followed Yu Chaoyun's gaze and looked out of the hall. His pupils shrank slightly, and he realized that the Jinyiwei seemed to be looking for something.
Neither Yu nor Mrs. Yu spoke, and occasionally looked at each other with restlessness.
Yu Chaoyun asked carefully again: "Auntie, aunt, uncle, will it be okay?"
Yu lifted his eyelids and his cold eyes accurately met Yu Chaoyun's tentative gaze. Of course, she understood the little thoughts of this niece and sneered: "Sister Yun, don't forget, your surname is Yu."
"If the Yu family is in trouble, you will be punished together!"
"What my family has taught you since childhood, you must always remember that there will be no eggs left after the nest is destroyed."
"You're not married yet!"
The word Yu family stabbed Yu Chaoyun like a knife. Yu Chaoyun's face became unsightly and her lips turned a little white when bitten.
Yu Chaoyun wanted to make a few words of excuses, but under Yu's insightful eyes, any excuses seemed so pale and powerless.
Another burst of rapid footsteps came out outside the hall. A square-faced Jinyiwei ran towards He Lie, who was standing with his hands behind his back in the courtyard, shouting excitedly:
"Commander, calculate it!"
"Miss Gu Er has calculated it!"
As soon as he heard the Jinyiwei mention Gu Yanfei again, Yu almost jumped up from the chair, but could only sit still, trying to calm down.
The square-faced Jinyiwei who came to report the message said to He Lie with his ears. He Lie nodded slightly, and suddenly turned his head to look at Mrs. Yu and the Yu family, and happened to look at Yu family from afar.
A piece of fine beads of sweat oozed from the back of Yu's neck, soaking her middle clothes, and a thought that made her tremble came to her mind: Could it be...
Mrs. Yu also thought of a place with her and called out in a trembling voice: "Second Sister!"
Both sister-in-law and sister-in-law were cold all over and had numb limbs.
After He Lie gave a few instructions to the Square-faced Jinyiwei, the Square-faced Jinyiwei said at the top of his voice: "Save four people here to guard them, everyone else will come with me!"
The Jinyiwei who had originally searched in the courtyard came to hear the sound and followed He Lie to the northwest of the house.
In the hall behind, Yu stood up from the chair in disrespect, and hit the coffee table next to her, but she didn't realize it.
He Lie and his party didn't care what the Yu family thought, and they all came to a rockery located in the small garden on the northwest side of the Yu house.
The square-faced Jinyiwei shouted to his colleagues: "Search carefully and don't let go of any corner. Miss Gu Er said that the secret room is in the rockery."
The Jinyiwei were all search experts, and they immediately scattered and searched the rockery from corner to corner.
"Finally found! The mechanism has been found!"
“There is a secret door here.”
A moment later, a high-pitched male voice rang out excitedly.
He Lie left after hearing the sound, and was led into a dark rockery cave by his subordinates, and walked around to a cramped corner.
The Jinyiwei who led the way pointed to a five or six-foot-high secret door ahead: "The commander, when his subordinate just knocked on this place, he found that the back was hollow, so he tried to open it."
A dark and cold smell came to my nose behind the secret door.
No one has ever entered the secret room yet, just waiting for He Lie.
The square-faced Jinyiwei quickly brought an oil lamp, looked at He Lie's eyes, and walked in with the oil lamp first.
A group of Jinyiwei walked through a narrow stone staircase and climbed down the stairs.
In the dim and jumping fire, you can see that the stone walls on both sides of the passage are covered with spider webs and dust.
The further you go down, the more wet and cold the air below becomes, with a vague smell of fishy smell.
"The commander seems to have a smell of blood." The square-faced Jinyiwei moved his nose and accelerated his pace and rushed down the stone steps.
After walking down more than twenty stone steps, they came to a dark secret room. The roof of the secret room was not high, so depressed that it seemed to touch the top of their heads. The walls around them were mottled, and the smell of blood in the air became a little stronger.
The square-faced Jinyiwei looked around with the oil lamp.
I saw the floor of the secret room covered with tattered straw mats, and there were children in their teens lying all over the straw mats, including men and women, beggars in rags, and civilian children in coarse cloth clothes. They all had different appearances, most of them were unconscious with their eyes closed, and at least a hundred people were there.
Several of the children were injured, and blood marks could be seen on their wrists and legs.
"Finished!" the square-faced Jinyiwei shouted in a high voice, "The lost children are all here."
Even though their Jinyiwei had seen many big scenes on weekdays, he had many lives on his hands, and he thought he was cold and hard, but he was still a little touched at this moment.
So many children are only a little bit away from dying in this dark place.
Behind, other Jinyiwei also entered this dark secret room through the stone steps.
Thinking that there were younger brothers and sisters at home who were about the same age, the square-faced Jinyiwei felt a little angry and strode forward...
"Dong!"
A dull collision sounded.
Everyone behind watched the square-faced Jinyiwei bounced away out of thin air, and staggered back and fell to the ground.
It was like an invisible person whipped him and whipped him away.
The scene in front of me was so bizarre that everyone else was stunned.
The square-faced Jinyiwei covered his forehead in pain and said in surprise: "I, I seem to hit something..."
There was obviously nothing in front of me! The other Jinyiwei was horrified and looked at each other in amazement.
Soon someone bravely stepped forward and shook his scabbard in the air with his scabbard. The sound of "dong, dong" came one after another.
"There seems to be a wall in front." A voice said uncertainly, unable to hide his shock, "an invisible wall."
"Commander, is this a ghost hitting a wall?!"
Another person immediately retorted: "This is not the case when ghosts hit the wall!"
The Jinyiwei were not idle either. He raised his hand and kicked the ground to touch the air again. He was a little convinced that they could not move forward any longer.
They were obviously only half a foot away from the children in front of them, but they seemed to be blocking an invisible wall.
This situation is simply unseen, and I have only heard of it in the ghost stories of the countryside.
"Plateau, go and report back to the situation here immediately." He Lie made a quick decision and ordered, his eyebrows locked deeply.
After the Jinyiwei, named Gaoyuan, responded, he hurriedly walked back on the stone steps again.
Immediately afterwards, another tall and thin Jinyiwei shouted from the east wall: "Commander, look here."
He Lie hurriedly walked over quickly and looked in the direction pointed by his subordinates.
On the mottled walls, dark brown pattern symbols were painted. These patterns were extremely strange and exuded an indescribable sense of evil.
The tall and thin Jinyiwei frowned and said, "Commander, my subordinates look at these patterns like blood painted."
Everyone knows that the Jinyiwei is good at torture, and the prison cells and criminal detention in the prison have decades of old blood stains, and the smell of blood and rotten smells are lingering.
So he could see it at a glance.
He Lie also saw it, and couldn't help feeling cold, his face as if it was covered with frost.
He Lie held the scabbard in one hand and walked slowly around the wall for half a circle. All the walls were painted with strange patterns.
He didn't dare to move the walls, for fear that there would be any evil tricks here, and if he backfired, it would be unbeautiful.
He Lie walked around the secret room twice and then retreated.
The secret room was dark and humid, and the garden outside was shining brightly, as if it was two worlds.
He Lie sat down in the pavilion next to the rockery. Some subordinates served him tea, and some subordinates came to report from time to time, such as arresting several servants from the Yu family who intended to escape. For example, all servants from the Yu family had been detained in the west wing, such as searching the entire house and no other secret rooms were found.
He Lie drank several cups of tea, and finally heard another movement at the entrance of the garden. From a distance, he heard the respectful voice of the plateau that was almost flattering: "Miss Gu Er, please be careful of the slippery road here."
To be continued...
