Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 917 The Secret Room 2.0

Tantai Pingchuan squinted his eyes and carefully observed the two raised flame patterns on the copper gate, stretched out his hand and pressed it lightly twice, but there was no response, and there was no sign of the gate being opened.

He frowned slightly, and observed carefully again. The two flames should be movable. He tried to drop the flames one by one along the trajectory, but the door still did not respond.

Tantai Pingchuan thought for a while, then turned to Ying Shisan who was standing behind him, and asked him to come over and help him.

"I'll count one, two, three, let's rotate this at the same time." He looked at Ying Shisan, "Understood?"

"Understood!" Ying Shisan nodded, following Tantai Pingchuan's example, stretched out his hands to hold one of the flames, "It's ready, we can start."

"Okay!" Tantai Pingchuan nodded towards him, "Come on, one! Two! Three!"

As soon as the words fell, they turned the two flames at the same time, turned them to the correct position, let go of their hands at the same time, and took two steps back.

As soon as they stood firm, they heard a creaking sound from inside the door. After a while, the creaking sound stopped, and then they heard a click.

After standing there and waiting for a while, nothing unexpected happened. There was no poisonous smoke or gas as they expected, let alone random arrows. Everything was very quiet.

Tantai Pingchuan and Ying Shisan looked at each other, the trap door should have been successfully opened.

Ying Shisan stopped Tantai Pingchuan from pushing the door, walked over by himself, and carefully pushed the door open slowly.

"This door is too heavy." Ying Shisan pushed the door in, "at least a hundred catties."

After the bronze door was completely pushed open, a sunny room came into view. The furniture and furnishings in the room were covered with white cotton cloth. It can be seen that the original owner cherished this place very much. For a long period of time, this place will not be easily discovered by outsiders. In order to protect this place, everything inside is wrapped with white cotton cloth.

Everyone walked in carefully, and the first thing to do was to open all the doors and windows to let out the stale air in the house.

Shen Cha walked out of the main entrance of the house, went to the small yard outside, looked around, and confirmed that this should be the real backyard of the house.

The so-called backyard that Song Yaojia, Song Qiyun, and Jin Miaomiao searched before should be used to deceive people. It is purely a cover-up, and the real owner doesn't live there at all.

And the yard they are currently in, even though no one has lived in it for many years, still looks very lively, unlike the house in front of it, which is cold and not at all popular.

When the stale air in the room was almost gone, Mei Zhu lit some more incense and confirmed with Tantai Pingchuan that the place was absolutely safe before inviting Song Jue, Song Yaojia and Jin Miaomiao over.

"It looks familiar here, doesn't it?"

Tantai Pingchuan was invited to rest in the courtyard. There was a set of exquisite small stone tables and chairs in the courtyard. Under a big tree on the north side, there was even a rocking chair. One can imagine the original owner sitting in the courtyard to enjoy the shade. look.

Mei Zhu walked to the small stone table and chair, wiped off the dust on them, and put a clean cloth on them, and then invited Tantai Pingchuan to sit down.

Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, and Song Qiyun stood beside him, watching the guards and shadows carefully remove the white cotton cloth wrapped around the furniture, revealing the original appearance of the room.

"It's basically similar to the layout of the Imperial Study Room." Song Qiyun crossed his arms, "Looking at it this way, the relationship between Emperor Chongde and King Tong is almost ready."

"If the relationship between two people is really as bad as it is rumored, how could such a house be built?" Shen Cha nodded, "Probably because of the situation at the time, I had to make a show, Let outsiders feel that they don't deal with each other and have a grudge against each other!" She looked at Tantai Pingchuan, "What kind of court is Emperor Chongde, do you understand? The two brothers have done everything to protect each other. For this part, isn't it too much for the officials in the court?"

"Emperor Chongde is a very suspicious person. In his heart, apart from himself, the only person he can trust in this world is King Tong."

"But they are not brothers, are they?"

"Yes, it's not close, it's better than close." Tantai Pingchuan nodded, "The two have known each other since they were very young, and their relationship is naturally different from others. Moreover, King Tong is the kind of person who respects morality in everything he does. The interests of Emperor Chongde are the priority. If this matter hurts Emperor Chongde, he will not do it no matter how much he himself benefits. On the contrary, if this matter is beneficial to Emperor Chongde, but it will harm his own interests , he will do it without hesitation."

"Everything is for Emperor Chongde?"

"En!" Tantai Pingchuan nodded, "But he is not unilateral, Emperor Chongde also treated him in the same way. It is because of this that they can support each other and go through many difficulties together."

"It's not easy for the last emperor and the powerful minister." Song Qiyun watched Ying Shisan run out of the house with something like a letter in his hand, "Thirteen, what is this?"

"A letter written by King Tong, leave it to..." Ying Shisan looked at the people in front of him, "Someone with predestined relationship."
