Forced to be a villain, my righteousness comes first

Chapter 25 Clues

After a busy day, Li Xing collapsed on the soft bed again.

What he saw in the entire Lan Mansion today surprised him, not because of the wealth and strength of the Nan Mansion.

It was even more because even in the face of the celebrations of the city lord's birthday and Miss Lan's upcoming marriage, the entire Nanfu didn't show any signs of celebration.

And the place where Miss Lan and Master Lan lived that he wanted to go was regarded as a restricted area by the two guards surnamed Hu, and he was resolutely rejected.

Speaking of these two guys, I originally thought that they could be sent to monitor me, either because they were loyal, or because they were shrewd and capable...

I didn't expect that they were actually two honest people, just trying to pass myself off!
I was underestimated!
But for Li Xing, this is good news. He managed to talk a lot today, and the two guards also lost themselves amid Li Xing's praises.

Not only did he tell the whole story about what he knew, but he also revealed a lot of other gossip that was only passed on among servants.

In addition, Li Xing did a thorough tour, and even climbed up several high-rise buildings in the Lan Mansion that were used for collection of books and banquets.

The facts are exactly as I expected, this Lan Mansion is a city within a city, a fortress that cannot be easily breached from the outside world.

But because of this, Li Xing cared even more.

He understood that if Jin Yanzi couldn't break through from the front, and dared to make such wild words, then there must be a back move.

And after Li Xing walked around today, the only trick he could imagine was the authentic tunnels that every mansion and compound has.

These secret escape passages are kept secret on weekdays, and they will be activated immediately if something happens.

When encountering some irresistible catastrophe, these rich and powerful families can successfully escape from birth, or keep the fire.

But this channel must be the biggest secret of every family.

Li Xing didn't expect Hu Ba Hu Jiu to know this information, and he didn't expect Miss Lan or anyone else to be merciful and tell him this information.

The current Li Xing seems to have entered the core area of ​​the problem, but until now he realizes that he is alone and helpless.

But this kind of trivial matter will not trouble Li Xing, he is not such a person who gives up easily.

He had already decided that tomorrow he would take two guards to meet Xiao Liu on the street, and ask him to help him find some weird places around Lan's house.

Because Li Xing thought about it, the other exits of the passage were nothing more than a small courtyard or a shop in the surrounding area.

As long as Xiao Liu makes a survey of all the industries related to Lan Mansion around Lan Mansion, this kind of thing will naturally be inseparable.

Thinking of this, Li Xing slowly fell into a long-lost deep sleep.

In his dream, besides Jianghu and starlight, he was accompanied by the pair of breathtakingly beautiful eyes in the alley.

In the morning of the next day, everything went smoothly, and Li Xing brought the two guards to the street without hindrance as he wished.

Li Xing did not contact Xiao Liu in advance, nor did he agree on a time and place to meet.

He believed that as long as he appeared on the street and walked around casually for a few times, Xiao Liu would definitely find him in a short time.

But Xiao Liu let him down today. After walking around the place where Lan's house was with two guards for most of the day, he never received a signal from Xiao Liu.

what happened?Is this kid stuck in something?
Without foreign aid in the plan, Li Xing had to chat with two honest people, making insincerity.

Only then, in the words of the two natives, the information revealed inadvertently, roughly delineated the places where several secret passages might exist.

But one person's power is poor, and he really has no good way.

If he wanted to do this, he had to turn to Butler Wang for help.

So Li Xing found Steward Wang. The two guards, Hu Ba and Hu Jiu, obviously knew Steward Wang's identity, so they politely invited Steward Wang to drink tea in a side room. Space.

Li Xing slowly told Steward Wang what he had seen and heard that day and his guesses without reservation.

Steward Wang nodded repeatedly, full of praise for Li Xing.

"Mr. Li, your judgment is very likely."

"Although the secret way of each family is the most core untold secret in the family, I really have some ways to deal with this matter."

It's really omnipotent!This butler Wang!

Li Xing looked sideways, if he didn't know that you were the steward of the Zeng family in Shangcheng, I really thought you were the city lord in person!

After thinking for a while, Steward Wang said: "Leave this matter to me, and I'll figure out a way. Although it is impossible to tell you exactly the situation of every secret passage in the Lan family, at least a few secrecy levels Compared with the secret path that is not so high, I am still sure to get it."

Butler Wang smiled mysteriously.

"But please take care of the things inside, and help me keep an eye on Miss Lan."

"It doesn't matter whether the golden swallow arrives or not, as long as Miss Lan can board the eight-carriage sedan chair of my Zeng family! After this is done, I will definitely thank you very much!"

"Good talk, good talk!"

What Li Xing likes most is hearing such a straightforward price tag!

While flattering each other, Li Xing's eyes swept across the gate of Lan's house inadvertently.

Huh, that's...

Li Xing hurriedly approached the window sill, staring closely at the woman who came out from the gate of Lan's house, the woman who seemed only willing to wear a green silk robe.

"Butler Wang, do you know where this woman came from?"

Li Xing pointed to the graceful Shang Nimeng and asked.

Steward Wang glanced in the direction of Li Xing's finger: "The appearance is ordinary and has no distinctive features. It seems to be Miss Lan's best friend..."

"I didn't inquire about other things. Why, my fair lady and gentleman are so cute?"

"hey-hey,"

Li Xing showed an expression of knowing everything. Naturally, it was impossible to tell Butler Wang about those wild guesses.

"I'll go first!"

Seeing that Shang Nimeng was about to leave the main street, Li Xing said impatiently.

"Both brothers, it's time to go!"

They didn't even forget to call the two guards who were drinking tea and listening to the music, so the two had no choice but to drop the refreshments in their hands, and chased Li Xing out of the inn loyally.

Fortunately, this chivalrous woman didn't walk fast, and she didn't show off her lightness skills that overwhelmed Li Xing in a crowded place. After taking a leisurely stroll on the street, she turned into the second-floor shop on the side of the street.

This shop is about 1 mile away from Lanfu, and it is the most high-end rouge gouache shop in the city.

Don't ask Li Xing why he knows it so clearly, it's like being tricked!

Just shopping for Rouge Gouache?
This is a very normal operation for a lady of great family, but for a chivalrous woman...
