"Oh," Ke Ran couldn't get used to anyone, and immediately became unhappy, "You still talk back, are you afraid of doing it or not?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Jing Shan again, and urged: "Brother Jing, this person has repeatedly deceived Luo Yu, and repeatedly encouraged Lin Ce to take the opportunity to attack the regent on the battlefield, disregarding the law, this matter cannot be dismissed like this .”

Jing Shan's brows became tighter and tighter, and when she was about to speak, Ke Ran chirped again, "Also, Brother Xue has reprimanded him many times, but he just doesn't listen. You can't just talk about these things."

He quarreled violently, dancing and almost overturned the wine bowls around him, Chai Jin couldn't stand it anymore, reached out to grab his back collar, pressed him on the seat, and forcefully stuffed a pastry into his mouth Just told him to shut up.

Ke Ran didn't make a fuss anymore, but the air immediately quieted down, and a dark cloud seemed to surge around, shattering the happy atmosphere just now, and covering everyone.

Xue Tang and his wife looked at each other, lowered their heads silently, Cen Ju was still kneeling on the ground, his expression was unpredictable, and the princess was still confused, taking advantage of Jing Shan's lack of time to take care of it, she pinched it impolitely. He picked up the chicken leg, squeezed the pastry with one hand, and put it in his mouth.

After a long silence, Jing Shan took the jug again and filled Cen's cup.

"Forget it," most of the serious expression on his face faded, and the stiff facial muscles softened, "Even though you have made many mistakes, but you are my uncle's confidant, and you are the talent that my uncle left for Lin Ce. Lin Ce and the others went south all the way, even if there is no credit, there is hard work, even if it is in charge, it is not my turn to make the decision."

He pushed the glass filled with wine to Cen Ju's direction, "Get up, this will be the time for the whole country to celebrate. Although rewards and punishments are clear, they should not be punished at this time."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Xue Lince, as if asking for his opinion.

Xue Lince's brows twitched, and subconsciously looked back at Tang Luoyu, who only nodded slightly, and then he also nodded slightly at Jingshan, pretending not to pursue it.

"From now on, you have to obey Lin Ce's orders," Jing Shan understood Xue Lince's meaning, and spoke more severely, "If there is another time, not to mention Lin Ce, even this official will not Let you go."

The muscles on Cen Ju's face twitched twice, his facial features shrunk into a ball, but he couldn't get up, and the air once again fell into the embarrassment of suffocation, only the princess was eating happily.

Ke Ran squeezed the cup in her hand tightly, and when she saw this, her mouth was almost raised to the sky.

Tang Luoyu was thoughtful, put down his chopsticks and got up, picked up Jing Shan's glass filled with wine, walked to Cen Ju's side generously, and sent him off.

"Mr. Cen, it's only three things. After drinking this glass of wine, the grievances and grievances will be wiped out. Lin Ce and brother don't blame you, and I don't blame you."

Cen Ju raised his head, only to see Tang Luoyu's expression was calm and firm, his eyes were calm and calm, like a calm black lake.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, then raised his hand tremblingly to take the wine glass, his face was full of guilt, "Subordinate... I dare not be ashamed."

Tang Luoyu was expressionless, but his eyes were still as calm as water, "Mr. Cen, don't panic, this glass of wine is a promise, since you want to drink it, then you should fulfill your promise."

Cen Ju squeezed the wine glass, and saw the crystal-clear wine in it constantly flickering and rippling. He had mixed feelings in his heart. Finally, when he raised his head and neck, the fine wine was poured into his mouth like a thin thread, slipping Into the belly, leaving a spicy mouthful.

The meal was not satisfactory, and the banquet ended in a hurry, Ke Ran was still thinking about it, and kept complaining to Chai Jin.

Xue Lince and Tang Luoyu stayed with the princess for a while, and Jing Shan wanted to ask her mother about the secret way while the husband and wife were together, but the other party still looked confused and couldn't answer any useful information.

When the three of them were helpless, Jing Shan thought of Cen Ju who was waiting outside.

Since he is You Nanhou's confidant, he should know these things.

Thinking of this, he called Cen Ju into the courtyard and asked about it in front of everyone.

"Mister, do you know about Lord Hou's secret way?"

After the "criticism and education" just now, Cen Ju's attitude towards these people became more respectful, his eyes moved, and he saluted, "It's true."

Jing Shan and Xue Lince rolled their eyes, "I'm afraid it's not right? I also sent someone to check the secret passage to my uncle's mansion, and I almost turned the whole mansion over, but I didn't find any clues about the secret passage. Where is it hidden?" ?”

"Responding to your lord's words," Cen Ju bowed again, arching his back extremely low, "this secret way is said to be in the mansion of Lord Marquis, but it is not in the mansion."

The words were strange, the three of them were taken aback and looked at each other.

"how do I say this?"

Tang Luoyu couldn't help asking questions.

"Returning to Madam," Cen Ju said with a particularly submissive attitude towards her, "this secret passage is not in the real mansion, but in a secret mansion."

Xue Lince twitched his brows, "There are such strange things, so how should we find this secret mansion?"

"Don't worry, my lord." Cen Ju looked relieved, "This mansion is extremely hidden, you need to pass through a mechanism in the mansion's rockery, and then pass through a bamboo forest to see it. It has been neglected for many years, and it must be deserted by now. It's been a long time."

Tang Luoyu unconsciously traced the patterns on the hem of the clothes, and Liu Mei frowned slightly, "It's strange, what is it that is worth hiding like this, and I don't hesitate to build a mansion to hide it."

Hearing this, Cen Ju showed a embarrassed smile on his face, "Cen only knows how to get to the mansion and how to find the secret passage, but he doesn't know anything about the things stored in it, presumably the Marquis waited for Lord Xue to come to Japan to look for it. stop."

The three of them lowered their eyes and fell into deep thought. After a while, they raised their heads again, looked at each other and made up their minds.

"It's not too late, we're going to find the secret passage in the secret mansion now."

Cen Ju was startled, but immediately agreed, "Okay, if there are any important clues, you can avoid many eyes and ears by going out to search at night."

This statement makes sense.

Several people quickly changed into dark clothes, raised the lanterns and went out without any servants.

Everyone knew the way to Xue's mansion very well, even in the dark, they could find it, and within half a stick of incense, the three of them entered the gate.

It's not so much a door as a torn door frame.

The candlelight in the lantern was warm and bright. After dispelling the darkness, only the courtyard and scorched earth could be seen. The prosperity and excitement that should have belonged to the Xue Mansion had long been buried in the fire. Only the bright and beautiful mansion remained. There are scorched black marks and a few desolate wooden sticks standing in the courtyard. It seems that the groaning and moaning of the one hundred and three people before their death many years ago can be heard.
