Chapter 361 All Dead

Shi Yong quietly folded his arms, shrank aside and did not dare to speak.

The miserable cry resounded throughout the courtyard, and even Dong Zeyou silently turned his head away.

Originally, he was worried that His Majesty would make a private visit in disguise and bring Concubine Li into danger, but he did not expect Concubine Li to be dangerous enough by herself.

The neat movements seemed to have been done thousands of times.

Sun Zhimiao was hoarse, his neck was red, and although his eyes fell on the face of the person in front of him, the pain was so painful that he lost focus.

Nan Zhen didn't stop, the sight around her and Sun Zhimiao's roar didn't affect her at all.

She gradually pinched the opponent's middle finger, and before she could exert any force, Sun Zhimiao shouted, "Stop—stop! I say, I say!"

Nan Zhen withdrew a little bit of strength, raised her chin to look at him, and said calmly, "Where is Cai Ningning?"

"The entrance to the secret passage is directly behind the locust tree in my yard. From left to right, press the third brick and you will find it."

Hearing this, Nan Zhen finally let him go.

Taking a few steps back, the feeling of oppression is instantly reduced.

Sun Zhimiao didn't dare to look at her, panting heavily.

With the broken bones and tendons, he felt that he was about to pass out immediately.

But the pain in his fingers kept him awake all the time, so he could only endure the pain forcefully.

Mrs. Su was still dazed when she was brought out by the yamen servants, and she didn't struggle much, so she looked pretty decent.

When she got old, she no longer cared about the affairs of the younger generation, and only concentrated on worshiping the Buddha.

After listening to it for a long time now, I finally come back to it.

Hiding iron mines, kidnapping women, colluding with outsiders... everything was beyond her imagination.

Mrs. Sun looked at Sun Zhi and Sun Zhimiao and became angry, "You father and son have done some stupid things! What did you say when I handed over the family business to you? How can you be worthy of the old man under the nine springs?" !"

Sun Zhi turned his head aside, not looking at her.

Although he has done a lot of wrong things, he is a very filial son and has almost no intention of disobeying Mrs. Sun.

But Sun Zhimiao was different.

After his appearance was destroyed, his temperament changed drastically, and he was neither salty nor rude to Mrs. Sun, a grandmother.

Hearing her question at this moment, he snorted coldly, "Without the cash income from operating iron mines, can your Buddha statues be built? Just by selling those few rags? Dreaming!"

Mrs. Sun's Buddhist hall is very large and very well built. The Buddha statues are all made of pure gold, unlike ordinary people who are pasted with gold.

After enjoying the benefits herself, she turned around and questioned them, how could there be such a reason in the world!

"You... you actually used this dirty money to build a Buddha statue for me..."

Sun Zhimiao retorted, "Not only that, your food and clothing expenses are all contaminated."

His words fueled the anger in Old Madam Sun's heart, and almost made her angry.

Staring at Sun Zhimiao, he didn't say a word for a long time.

Nan Zhen didn't have the patience to watch the dog bite the dog's hair, so she grabbed a servant from the Sun residence and asked him to lead the way.

The boy dared not follow, he trotted hurriedly to lead the way.

Nan Zhen followed closely, entered the yard, and saw the locust tree in the corner at a glance.

Following what Sun Zhimiao said, she rubbed her fingers and pressed down the third brick from the left, and a stone door suddenly appeared from the side.

From the outside, the secret passage was pitch-black and eerie.

The yamen servants who followed were still hesitating whether to take the lead, but Nan Zhen had already raised her legs and walked in.

This is a secret passage leading underground.

At the beginning, I couldn't see my fingers when I stretched out my hands, but I slowly went down and gradually revealed a little bit of candlelight.

Water seeps all the year round, and the bottom is wet. When the shoes step on it, there is a slight "squeak" sound, which makes Nan Zhen frowned unconsciously.

Go down to the deepest point, go straight in, turn another corner, and you will see a compartment, like a prison cell, with wooden fences and locks.

Cai Ningning was filthy all over, and his hair was partly scattered, but he was not dejected, but kept prying the lock with the hairpin handle, trying to open the prison door and run out.

Nan Zhen was slightly surprised, and the tails of her eyes curled up.

I thought that a young lady with such a background would be downcast and waiting for someone to rescue her.

I didn't expect her to be quite strong.

Xu Shi heard footsteps, Cai Ningning's men paused, immediately hid the silver hairpin, and obediently shrank into a corner.

She didn't know who it was, she just tried to reduce her sense of existence.

Thinking to myself——

It's not time for dinner, why are there still people coming at this time?

It was discovered when the lock was picked earlier, and all the red hairpins in the hair were taken away, only this silver hairpin was left, so don't get caught again.

The footsteps gradually approached, and finally stopped at the door.

Seeing that she didn't look at her, Nan Zhen called softly, "Cai Ningning."

"Ok?"

She looked up hesitantly, and when she saw the person across the door, she blinked at first, as if she couldn't believe it.

It was only when Nan Zhen smiled at her that she finally confirmed it.

"Woo..." Cai Ningning's tears, which he had held back for a long time, suddenly burst, and ran over while wiping, "Ma'am, are you here to save me?"

"Ah."

Cai Ningning was out of breath from crying, just about to complain, when he suddenly saw the yamen servant next to him, he became vigilant.

He choked and said, "Ma'am, don't believe him, I clearly saw him standing and talking with the housekeeper of the Sun Mansion before, they are in the same group!"

The yamen servant was full of embarrassment, waved his hands again and again, and took a step back, "No, no."

pale and weak.

Nan Zhen glanced at the yamen servant, who immediately froze and did not dare to move.

Just now the scene where she forced Sun Zhimiao to question was still vivid in his memory, he was afraid that this lady would be unhappy, so he cut him off in a fit of rage.

The yamen servant just had this thought in his mind, when he saw Nan Zhen stretching out his hand towards him, he knelt down with a plop, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"..."

Nan Zhen was speechless, she took out the knife from his waist, and slashed at the lock, the lock instantly split, and the iron chain fell to the ground.

What followed was Cai Ningning's surprised gaze.

Niangniang?

What lady?
Did she hear it wrong?
Nan Zhen ignored her questioning eyes, handed over a handkerchief, and said in a gentle voice, "Wipe it, you're already a kitten."

Cai Ningning took it a little sluggishly, and followed suit.

She looked at Nan Zhen, and then at the smiling yamen servant behind her, "That..."

"Look at the road."

Nan Zhen's light words, without any emotion, made Cai Ningning dare not speak again, and could only look at the person two steps away from her with curious eyes.

There are many questions in my heart, but in the end, there is only one sentence on my lips, "Where are Xiaoba and Xiaoliu?"

Nan Zhen didn't expect her to ask so quickly, she was silent for a moment before saying, "They're all dead."

Rao had been prepared for a long time, but when he actually heard the news, he still choked up and couldn't speak for a long time.

He is not very old for two years, and he has not been working in Cai's family for a long time.

Especially Xiao Ba's family's poor conditions, and pointing him to take the moon silver back to get medicine for his sick mother...
