Chapter 852: Linglong leaves(2/2)
The rain was still raging outside the house. Liu Xiaoyu was about to answer the soldiers' questions, but her eyes suddenly swept to Linglong and the coachman in the corner. Her brows frowned slightly, her eyes full of vigilance and confusion.
Linglong was keen and immediately noticed Liu Xiaoyu's doubts. She said to Wang Haipeng softly: "Look at you, you seem to have something to discuss. I am afraid that it will be inconvenient for me and the coachman here. Can we go to another room to avoid it for a while?"
Wang Haipeng looked at Liu Xiaoyu, then looked at Linglong, and nodded quickly and replied: "Of course, of course, please, girl."
As he said that, Wang Haipeng led Linglong and the coachman to a small house next door. The room was a little dim and some old farm tools and debris were placed.
"Girl, you feel wronged here first. Just call me if you need anything." After Wang Haipeng said that, he hurriedly left and closed the door.
Linglong sat on a shaking stool, but her ears were unconsciously pressed against the wall. She knew that the next conversation might involve some unknown secrets.
And all of this is developing in a more mysterious direction during these stormy days...
Liu Xiaoyu's face was solemn, and she told everyone about the secret passage.
They encountered many mechanisms and traps in the secret passage, but fortunately they were in danger in the end.
He also left two capable soldiers to guard the treasure in secret passages in case of accidents.
Only then did the soldiers realize that the secret passage led to Youzhou, and they all showed surprise.
Liu Xiaoyu continued to say that the matter had been reported to the Prime Minister's Office. Although the Prime Minister was not here for a while, he also explained the situation in detail with the Prime Minister's wife and waited for the Prime Minister to come back to decide the next step.
Liu Xiaoyu stood in the room with a tall figure, and continued with firm eyes: "This return is to clarify everything and take out the treasures in the secret passage. These treasures are the most appropriate only if they are presented to the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister decides how to deal with them."
As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier turned to Wang Haipeng and asked with a sharp look: "Are the treasures in their mouths in the secret passages that the robbers who came to ask for that day?
Wang Haipeng's body trembled slightly, and he nodded and replied: "Mr. Jun, this is true. The villain will never dare to say anything false."
A soldier suddenly stepped forward and pointed at Wang Haipeng and said loudly: "Chief, he is lying! When he heard that there was a treasure in the basement, his surprised look could not be fake. He must have known it for a long time. He must have something to hide from us."
Everyone's eyes instantly gathered on Wang Haipeng. Wang Haipeng's face turned red to his ears, his eyes dodged, and he was stammering but didn't know how to speak.
Liu Xiaoyu's face darkened, her eyes looked at Wang Haipeng with a torch, and her voice was low and majestic, "What's going on?"
At this time, another soldier stepped forward to report: "Chief, several robbers attacked that day, and they were very fierce. If it weren't for the help of brothers Wang Hu, we two brothers might have encountered an unexpected accident."
Everyone stared at Wang Haipeng, as if they wanted to find all the hidden secrets from him, while the rain outside the house was still drizzling, knocking on the windows, as if adding a bit of uneasy rhythm to this tense situation.
Liu Xiaoyu's eyes were as cold as an eagle, and shot straight at Wang Hu. It seemed that the soldiers looked full of admiration and admiration for Wang Hu.
Retracting his gaze, Liu Xiaoyu stared at Wang Haipeng again, his voice low but unquestionable: "Wang Haipeng, now, you'd better tell me honestly and not hide anything anymore. Otherwise, military law will deal with it!"
Beads of sweat as big as beans on Wang Haipeng's forehead rolled down. His hands were squeezing the corners of his clothes uneasy, his eyes wandering between Liu Xiaoyu and Wang Hu in a panic, his lips trembling, as if he was trying hard to decide whether to tell the truth.
The room was silent, and everyone's eyes were stuck on Wang Haipeng like nails.
After a while, Wang Haipeng seemed to have made a great decision and finally spoke: "General Liu, I really have never heard of the treasure hidden in the secret room."
Wang Hu sneered from the side: "Hmph, sure, if I knew there was such a good thing, I would have thought of a way to steal all the treasures!"
Wang Haipeng's head lowered. He bit his lip tightly, without refuting, obviously accusing Wang Hu of what he said.
Seeing that he could not hide it, Wang Haipeng hurriedly said truthfully: "Commander Liu, I will not hide it from it. The treasure that the robbers wanted that day was actually something else. All the soldiers wait for a moment and allow me to get it." After that, he turned around quickly and walked towards the other room.
Soon, Wang Haipeng came out of the room and carefully held a bag in his hand.
Everyone's eyes were instantly attracted by the bag. The house was very quiet for a moment, and only the sound of raindrops falling outside the house could be heard. Everyone was curious about what treasure was contained in the bag, which attracted the robbers to come to ask for it.
Wang Haipeng took a deep breath and slowly opened the bag. He saw some golden leaves lying quietly inside, flashing with an attractive luster under the dim light in the house.
He picked up a piece gently and said in a little helpless tone: "This is my grandfather's stay. Back then, my grandfather had done a stolen matter with some people. After the matter was done, it was uneven and the stolen goods were very unpleasant. I guess those robbers were descendants of the people who made enemies with my grandfather back then. After so many years, they were still thinking about these things."
Liu Xiaoyu raised his hand slightly, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said to the soldiers: "No matter what, since this is something passed down from Wang Haipeng's family, it is all his own things."
After saying that, Liu Xiaoyu chuckled softly and continued, "We are all doing things on orders, so how could we do that corruption? Wang Haipeng, please pack up these golden leaves quickly. We won't have any idea of it."
When Wang Haipeng heard this, his eyes were full of gratitude. He quickly put Jin Yezi back on his bag one by one, hugged him tightly in his arms, and kept saying "Thank you, Commander Liu, thank you, all the soldiers."
In the slightly dim room next door, Linglong pressed her ears tightly against the wall, listening attentively to every word coming from next door, feeling surprised. She really didn't expect that there were so many complicated things hidden behind it.
The coachman looked at Linglong's actions and frowned slightly, feeling that it was inappropriate and indecent to eavesdrop on other people's conversations.
But he opened his mouth, hesitated for a few moments, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just shook his head helplessly, sat aside silently, listening to the sound of rain outside the house, waiting for Linglong to finish this story that they shouldn't have participated.
After a while, Linglong found that the coachman was looking at him, probably knowing that what he did was a bit indecent.
She then smiled slightly.
