Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 1419 Layout Start 180.0
Regarding the construction pattern of the Zhen Guogong Mansion next door, the Marquis Wuding Mansion is relatively simple, with only two courtyards at the front and back. The front is used to receive visitors and handle official business, and the back yard is the living place of the Xue family.

In the front yard, there is a main hall and two side rooms in the east and west. In front of the main hall, there is a plaque inscribed by the late emperor with the words "loyalty" to show the loyalty of the owner.All the guests who came to visit the Marquis of Wuding, when viewing this plaque, would respectfully salute in front of the hall before entering the main hall.

It's just that Xue's father and son don't work or entertain guests here. They prefer to spend their time in the camp. Unless there are very important guests or guests with different identities, they generally don't invite them into the mansion.

"The only ones who have been able to enter this mansion these years are us, as well as His Majesty and Prince Ning who have visited in private." Hongye chuckled, "Uncle Xue and Lord Hou often said that most of the visitors They all have ulterior motives, instead of letting them go to the mansion, it is better to let them feel the solemnity and coercion of the camp, let them stay honestly, and don't be tempted."

"This is the way to get off the horse!" Jin Jing stroked her chin and smiled, "We are all used to this kind of thing."

"That's not it." Hongye chuckled, "However, occasionally Aunt Xue would go to the front to sleep for a night or two." She raised her eyebrows arguing with the two of them, "Every time I do this, I offend Aunt Xue. If there is a quarrel, we can only..."

"Yeah!" Jin Jing nodded, and hit Shen Haolin twice with her elbow, "You learn, don't make Xiaocha angry all the time, and let you sleep in the Nuan Pavilion later."

"No old trouble." Shen Haolin glanced at Jin Jing lightly, "We are different."

"That's the kind where you fight vigorously, either this one is going to get sick, or that one is going to die from injury." Jin Jing rolled her eyes and grabbed Hong Ye's arm, "You also feel sorry for us, we will follow you It's also very tiring."

"Try your best!" Shen Haolin glanced at Hongye, "Have you ever been in the east and west rooms?"

"When I was young, I went in with Brother Tian a few times. The east side room was a small tea room. Sometimes, when Uncle Xue and Brother Tian were thinking about things, they would go there to sit quietly. There were many tea pots in there. There are so many good teas." Hongye slightly raised her eyebrows, "Do you want to touch a few cans?"

"The tea leaves in that room were all moved from the Zhen Guogong's mansion." Jin Jing snorted twice, "I still dragged me to move them together."

"No wonder Cha'er said that sometimes the pots in the tea room are inexplicably missing, so it's you." Shen Haolin shook his head helplessly, "You just want to say it directly, why do you need to be sneaky?"

"It's not behind the two of you, it's behind my dear sister. She doesn't let us drink more tea and always controls us. If she controls us too much, she will naturally rebel, right?" Jin Jing snorted, "Don't It is said that we hid the tea leaves in the East Wing, and we also hid the snacks in the West Wing, and we also hid two jars of wine, we are free, so let's have a drink or two."

"The two of you are having a good life, why are you always so flustered every time I look for you in the mate room! Now that I know it, I will call Xiaocha and you guys later. Search there!"

"Don't, don't, it's been a long night, we have nothing to eat or drink, how can we get through it!" Jin Jing grabbed Hong Ye's arm and shook it, "Good sister, good sister, just act like nothing You know, brother will buy you delicious food later.”

"It's been so many years, and there's only this trick." Hongye rolled her eyes, "Okay, I'm just talking casually, I won't really come to grab your heart. But, you have spent so much time in the east and west rooms. Days, did you really not find anything strange?"

"I really didn't find it." Jin Jing nodded and looked at Shen Haolin, "Actually, we have already suspected whether Uncle Xue dug a secret passage or a secret room in the front yard, but it's a pity, we Nothing was found." Seeing Hongye's disgusted expression, he shrugged, "Don't look at me like that, it's just the two of us, and we're not good at searching, so naturally we found nothing."

"That's true." Hongye looked at Jin Jing, then turned to Shen Haolin, "Master, why don't we go to the front first. Compared with the backyard, I suspect that the problem in the front is bigger."

"Yes!" Shen Haolin nodded, turned around and took the two of them to the front yard, "Xiaojing, how many times have you searched?"

"Hey, just once." Jin Jing followed Shen Haolin, and said unhurriedly, "It took a lot of effort just this time, it took us seven or eight days, oh, no, seven It took eight nights to pry up the bluestone bricks in the yard, the main hall, and the east and west rooms, and it took a lot of effort to fill them back and pave them."

"You..." Hongye blinked, "When did you two do it? Why didn't I know?"

"I don't know either." Shen Haolin looked at Jin Jing, "During our absence? And the time when Master Qin and Yan Bo left home with the red leaves?"

"As expected of Hao Lin, that's right!" Jin Jing sighed and patted him on the shoulder, "Let me tell you, it's nothing if we hide it from him."

"Did he notice?"

"Not really, but he is a member of the Xue family after all, so I can't explain the feeling in the dark, right?"

"That's true." Shen Haolin nodded, "What are we doing, what are we investigating, does he have a feeling?"

"I don't know these things, but he told me that he has the feeling that if his mother's case is to be overturned, it may not be easy. Moreover, it is not as we speculated before, saying that his mother is willing Xia Anning paid for it. No matter how much he paid, he couldn't sell his reputation, so he felt that there might be too much trickery in it. He wanted to investigate and see what was going on. "

"What did you find out?"

"It's because nothing can be found out, so I don't know what to do. Later, Jin Guo discovered the traces of Qinglian Sect, which made him nervous all of a sudden. I'm afraid that our side also buried the secret of Qinglian Sect. pile."

"Then why did you suddenly think of looking for the secret room?" Hong Ye looked at Jin Jing with a puzzled expression, "This...the hidden piles of the Qinglian Sect and the secret room are completely inaccessible, right? Why do you suddenly think of prying bricks? ?”

"He told me that the destruction of the Qinglian Sect happened when my uncle was young, and he wanted to see what uncle left behind that was related to the Qinglian Sect. We searched the big study room, the small study room, and even the I searched all the rooms where my uncle rested, but found nothing." Jin Jing spread her hands, and led the two of them along a small path, "Go this way, there is a small house over here."

"When we were young, we eavesdropped on the chats of the adults, didn't we just hide in that little room?" Hong Ye chuckled, "Does the Duke still remember?"

"En!" Shen Haolin nodded and looked at Jin Jing, "The place you haven't searched in time is also this small house?"

"Yes!" Jin Jing bared her teeth at him and smiled, "Since you want to search, you should search thoroughly, right?"

"To be honest, do you suspect that this is the real place to hide things?"

"That's right!" Jin Jing snapped her fingers, slightly raised her eyebrows at Shen Haolin, and said with a smirk, "The most dangerous place is the safest, isn't it?"
