Chapter 114 No.14 Scene [-]

Yuansui 11 years, the second day of February.After getting up early in the morning, there was a sweet smell of fried rice cakes in Jingshu City.The busy season of farming is about to begin after the spring. Like Wanzhou, people in Sizhou also have the custom of eating red, yellow and white spring cakes.While making cakes, every household will also beat gongs and drums, burn incense and sacrifice to the gods of heaven and earth, praying for good weather and high grain production in the new year.

But right now, the aroma of food and the hustle and bustle of the street have completely lost their appeal to Ning Yue.She was hiding in her room, rubbing a milky white slender object between her fingers, frowning tightly, with a sad expression.

This is a waist pendant obtained from the lame man who was shot and died a few days ago.I don't know if the cripple deliberately stuffed it into his hand before he died, or if it happened to be touched by the girl by chance.The scene was chaotic at that time, until Kun Jie led the crowd to appear in front of Ning Yue, and she realized that she was holding a warm object in her hand, but in a hurry, she had no time to see what it was, and she could only vaguely see what it was. Thinking that it must be an important clue, he secretly stuffed it into his arms.

After returning to the city, Ning Yue didn't tell anyone about the waist pendant, she didn't even mention it in front of Granny Cen, until the next day she finally took it out and put it under the lamp to examine it carefully.

Unexpectedly, after seeing this, she saw a big problem - she saw that the girdle pendant was milky white, thick at the top and narrow at the bottom, obviously it was the teeth of a killer whale.The upper ring of the pendant is engraved with circles of fine lines like fish scales, and a whole piece of black rose that is more precious than gold is embedded in the hollow of the white whale tooth.The mysterious black crystal glows strangely under the candlelight, black and white, combined on the pendant to form a front and back, complex shapes, and strange patterns like a seal.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this object is nothing more than a delicate handicraft.However, Ning Yue suddenly remembered that she had seen something similar on Granny Cen.And those two seal-like patterns are exactly the sacrificial characters handed down from ancient times in the girl clan, and they actually write the word "law enforcement"!
The old mother once told the red-haired girl that each of the three elders had one of these waist pendants, which were like tokens they carried with them. They were tokens more important than life, and it was absolutely impossible to lose them.It's just that she never thought that the lame man would be the law enforcement elder who was one of the three elders with Granny Cen!
This discovery made the girl's face turn pale immediately.At first she thought that the other party was her father or a killer sent by Qi Shouyu, but who knew that the ghost she had been looking for all these days was actually the lame man himself!
Surprised, a more terrifying idea gradually emerged from the girl's mind: the three elders, the deacon, the law enforcement, and the stick, are the only ones in the entire organization who can directly meet Kun Jie.If the cripple rebelled and was secretly ordered by the high priest far away in Cangliu City to eradicate the remnants of the rebels on land, then he would have had countless opportunities to assassinate Kun Jie.And if he obeyed Qi Shouyu's order, there would be no reason to let him die!
From this point of view, there is only the last possibility left in the whole matter, that is, the lame man was only ordered by Kun Jie from the beginning to the end.And precisely because of this, as the law enforcement elder, Fang Fang can easily know Ning Yue's true identity, and can easily grasp all the movements of the organization, including the other two elders!

And if the cripple who is the law enforcement elder has been acting as a killer for Kunjie for a long time, then those executives who were beheaded and dismembered by him in the farmhouse before like livestock are also the sanctimonious, benevolent and moral traitors The leader personally ordered the killing? !
is it possible?It was difficult for Ning Yue to come to a definite conclusion for a while.Regardless of the relationship between Kun Jie and the lame man, there is only one way to prove his guess, and that is to sneak into Kun Jie's study.If everything is as she guessed, there will definitely be some clues left behind!
Thinking of this, the girl carefully put away the waist pendant in her hand, then tiptoed up and peeked out from the crack of the door.It happened that there was no one on the road leading to the study, so she immediately lifted the corner of her skirt and rushed over in one breath.

Before that, Ning Yue had followed Granny Cen to visit Kun Jie several times in the study, and had already memorized the furnishings in it by heart.As soon as she entered the door, she went straight to the row of not-so-large bookshelves by the wall.From the girl's point of view, if it is a secret letter, it must be hidden in such a place.But as soon as she took a book collection from the shelf, she quickly put it back again.

Although the entire bookshelf is full of books and classics, all places are covered with a thick layer of dust, obviously no one has touched it for a long time.When the red-haired girl moved a little, a cloud of fine dust was brought up, which choked her so much that she sneezed several times.The girl hurriedly covered her mouth and nose with her sleeve and took two steps back, then turned her gaze to the somewhat messy desk.

"Kunjie shouldn't be so careless, blatantly putting the evidence against himself here?"

Ning Yue suddenly wondered if she had guessed wrong from the beginning, but she still hesitated and walked to the desk.I saw that besides the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the case, there were also a large number of files piled up randomly.And among those messy papers, there was also an unopened letterhead that seemed to have just been delivered.

The letter instantly caught the girl's attention.She held her breath and stretched out her hand tremblingly to tear it open.The moment she flattened the letter paper, she was so nervous that she could only hear her own breathing and heartbeat——

There was only a short sentence on the paper, which read "The daughter of the chief priest has been scared away, please be more careful in the future" sixteen words.No identity-related information is mentioned.However, this discovery is enough to prove that the bold guess made by the red-haired girl was definitely not wishful thinking.

Now, everything makes sense.From the first time Ning Yue noticed the cripple in the city, Kun Jie tried her best to prevent her from investigating.And because of the girl's special status, the cripple didn't kill him after he found out that she was following her, but only used the death of his clansmen to scare him away!

The red-haired girl couldn't help but feel the hairs all over her body standing on end.She hastily folded the letter in her hand, stuffed it into her bosom, and hurriedly turned her head to look at the closed doors and windows behind her, for fear that she would suddenly see a pair of eyes staring at her through the thin paper!
Fortunately, there was no one outside the house, only the white spots reflected in the warm spring light.But the extreme nervousness made Ning Yue bump into something on the desk.Accompanied by the crisp sound of "clang" in the study, her heart immediately rose to her throat!

However, what the girl knocked over wasn't the sapphire brush washer on the table, and she didn't break anything. Her cuff just hung upside down the pen holder on the desk.And the pen stand was standing on the table in front of him at a strange angle, and it neither fell down nor returned to its original position.

At the same time, there was also a series of creaking sounds of the machine rotating under the ground in front of the bookshelf by the wall.Then the bluestone floor slowly sank, revealing a stone step leading to the ground behind the girl.

"This is - a secret room!"

The sense of fear in Ning Yue's heart was gradually defeated by the urge to find out.Originally planning to straighten the pen holder and escape from here, she turned back to the bookshelf as if possessed, and looked under the dark entrance with her head probed.

She collected herself, turned around and took another candlestick from the desk, lit it up and walked down cautiously.

Along the way, the red-haired girl pressed her back against the cold stone wall on one side of the stone steps, as if she would be dragged into endless darkness by some kind of power hidden in front of her if she relaxed a little, and she would never be able to escape.However, at this time, she still doesn't know that although there are no monsters lurking in the secret room, the truth she will see next is enough to overturn everything about Cangliu City, about her father, about the rebel party, everything she once thought she was certain about. .

Gradually, the road under Ning Yue's feet turned into slippery muddy ground, and the space ahead suddenly became clear.She accidentally fell forward, fell heavily to the ground, and the candlestick in her hand flew out.The girl supported her body with her hands again, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in the palm of her hand.At first she thought it was an ordinary stone, but when she raised her wrist, she found that what was pressed under her palm was actually a black crystal the size of a pigeon egg.

"How can there be Xuangui underground here!"

The red-haired girl couldn't help exclaiming in a low voice, and her eyes couldn't help but move towards the candle that fell on the ground.In the darkness in front of him, a huge shadow loomed.With the beating of the flames, the shadow gradually reflected bright light like stars——

What appeared in front of her was actually a hill made of black roses, which was taller than a house!
These seemingly mysterious black crystals have been an incurable heart disease for the Cangyu family for thousands of years.However, no one could have imagined that the important spar that these tribesmen wanted to obtain in their dreams, which is related to the life and death of the entire Cangliu City, is now buried deep under the mansion built by the land people like garbage. !
After being stunned for a while, the girl recovered from her astonishment and astonishment.She picked up the candle on the ground again, held it close to her mouth and blew a few breaths lightly.Only when the light of the fire became more stable again, did he boldly continue to explore forward.However, the number of black roses in front of her eyes far exceeded her imagination.She also couldn't understand at all, where such a large and pure black rose was discovered, how was it mined, and then transported to Jingshu City?
"Didn't it mean that the world's mysterious gems are about to run out? Where did Kunjie get so many! Could it be that these mysterious gems were originally supposed to be stored in Cangliu City—"

The red-haired girl suddenly remembered that when Granny Cen found her in Mulu City, she said that the black gems in Cangliu City had already run out.And now there is such a huge amount of mysterious gems, just within the range of sight, it can easily be supported for decades!Two things that were not related at all, but at this moment they surprisingly coincided together!
She was really scared this time.Coupled with the turbid air in the secret room, she suddenly felt as if someone was strangling her neck, she couldn't breathe, she couldn't think anymore, and even her body gradually became stiff.Ning Yue didn't dare to probe into the depths of the secret room, and immediately rushed to the ground without looking back.

With the return of the pen holder, the bluestone slab rubbed in a low voice, restoring the entrance of the secret room to its original state.But when the girl cleaned up the mud from her feet and was about to remove the traces she had left in the study, she suddenly heard someone push the door in behind her.And she wanted to find a place to hide, but it was too late!

"Miss Yue'er, you type too much! Why did you come here without authorization? When the old man passed the door, he heard the rustling noises in the study, and thought it was a rat. The mud on your body is still in the Where did it get on?"

Fortunately, the person who came was not Kun Jie, but Ning Yue, who was tense all over, did not relax.She immediately dodged to the desk, used it to separate herself from Granny Cen, and asked angrily:
"Could it be that you, mother-in-law, already knew about Kunjie's secret?"

The old mother was full of doubts: "What secrets can Mr. Kunjie have?"

"That cripple is actually the law enforcement officer among the three elders! He killed people in the city, and even led me to the farmhouse that night to threaten and threaten him. It was all secretly ordered by Kunjie! And that day, Kunjie shot and killed the other party. , it is precisely to silence—”

"Miss, what nonsense are you talking about, my lord, how could he do such a self-stealing thing!" Before the girl could finish speaking, the old woman interrupted her sharply.

"I didn't believe it at first. But before the lame man died, he quietly gave me a law enforcement waist pendant, which is exactly the same as the one on you, mother-in-law. Moreover, I also found a letter written to Kun Jie in this study. letter!"

As Ning Yue spoke, she took out all the collected evidence from her bosom.The surprised expression on Granny Cen's face was obviously not faked, but she still had doubts about what the girl said:

"Miss, how can you doubt Lord Kunjie so much! These two so-called physical evidences may be just the means used by the lame man to set the blame on him!"

"So, mother-in-law doesn't know anything about the things hidden in this underground secret room?"

"This house was bought by the old man himself from a landman on behalf of the adults. How could there be any secret room?"

"Mother-in-law! There really is a secret room under this study, and there are a lot of black gems hidden in it! When you first met me in Jiayunzhai, didn't you just say that the black gems used to protect Cangliu City have been exhausted? Are you saying that my father was lying to me? But now, there are a large number of mysterious gems that can be used by the people for decades, and they are hidden under this house! You tell me these mysterious gems, what is Kunjie? Where did it come from?"

The red-haired girl pointed to the bluestones under the bookshelf that covered the entrance of the secret room, and couldn't help raising her voice.She was fully convinced that the evidence she had found was enough to prove that Kun Jie was an out-and-out hypocrite.However, unexpectedly, the old lady on the opposite side still didn't believe it after hearing it, and instead opened her eyes and yelled loudly:
"Miss, please stop in moderation!"

"The evidence is so strong, mother-in-law, why do you still refuse to believe me?"

"I believe it. These things are so clearly displayed in front of the old body, how can the old body not believe it? It's just—"

The old lady just shook her head, "It's just that Lord Kunjie has his own reasons for doing things. There is no need to tell the old man these reasons, let alone you, Miss. Even if there are a lot of mysterious treasures hidden under this house , must have an important role, and there is no need to doubt its source. After all, the lord saved so many lives from the high priest, including the old man. Now that the old man has decided to follow him, he will never be easily shaken Trust him!"

"But--"

Ning Yue wanted to continue arguing, but was interrupted abruptly by the old woman:
"There is nothing wrong. Lord Kunjie will be back soon. Miss, you leave here immediately with me, don't make any further incidents! Otherwise, if you are caught on the spot by the Lord, I will never be able to intercede for you again!"

After speaking, Granny Cen stepped forward and firmly grabbed the girl's wrist, dragged her out of the door without any explanation, but walked straight to her room.
