Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 329 It turns out to be a formation
Inside the dilapidated house in Jufang,

Wang Yinghan in the room cried bitterly for a while. After crying for a while, he wiped his face hard with his sleeves and continued with choked sobs;

"Wang was originally a domestic slave in the East Prince's Mansion, and later he was given wealth and honor by the prince. Now he has repaid the old prince's kindness. Now that the family is in trouble, Wang has no power to tie the chicken, and there is nothing he can do. Although he has known Guardian Zuo for a short time, , but Wang admires the protector as a person, and I really didn’t expect you to come back and inform me, but there is no time, so I have to come back in the next life to repay today’s kindness.”

After saying this, Wang Yinghan stood up solemnly, knelt down and kowtowed to Zuo Feng. Zuo Feng hurried over and helped him up, feeling guilty. He wanted to speak several times, but couldn't bear to say anything, so he finally had to say ,
"Brother Wang must not do this, and I have no choice. The border army's behavior is different from that of the garrison in the pass. It is completely to kill them all. I know what brother Wang means. Your Majesty Zuo will find a way to see him. It's time for him to I will tell you everything you said, but what if your son avenges you? Besides, does Brother Wang have any countermeasures at this time?"

"Haha. My son will just follow him. You can also persuade him to join your Taiping Sect. Hanshan Temple has many secrets. As for me, haha!"

Wang Yinghan raised his head and smiled, a little sadly, stood up, patted the dust on his body, straightened his clothes, and said with a smile;
"Now that Wang is alone and well fed, it's time to hit the road. His wife and children must have also been taken into the city. His married wife and his beloved son are all here. How can Wang leave them behind?" Living alone in the world, how can you provoke the ridicule of colleagues and gentry, Wang can't do it."

At this time, Wang Yinghan was in tears and choked with sobs. Zuo Feng also felt the same way. It was unfair for such a good man to be persecuted by the Dawu court.

"Today, thank you for the guardian Zuo's support. Wang can only form a grass title ring in the next life to repay this kindness. The guardian needs to make plans early. Although Dawu is riddled with holes, the tree has deep roots and deep roots. I want to overthrow it. It still needs to be cultivated slowly and deeply.”

After Wang Yinghan finished speaking, he gave another big gift, and then walked out of the main room without looking back. Zuo Feng couldn't help shouting behind him,
"Brother Wang, have a good trip."

"Haha, okay, let's go."

Wang Yinghan laughed openly and walked out of the yard. Zuo Feng immediately gave a signal to the hall master. The group took one last look and saw the lonely and thin figure walking alone to the street entrance and then disappeared into the depths of the alley.

Wang Yinghan looked back and saw that the guardians and the others had already left, then calmly walked out of the alley, came to the street, and shouted;

"Wang is here, Marquis Luo Yun, how dare you meet this villain."

When the nearby cavalry heard this and saw this person, they immediately ran over and surrounded him. The leading captain didn't talk nonsense when he saw this person. He took out the portrait and looked at it. When he saw that the man was consistent with the portrait, he ordered;
"Tie him up and take him to see the Marquis. You guys go and tell General Ning that the head of the Wang family has been caught."

"Yes, Captain."

Before leaving, the captain stopped here with the remaining people and looked at the alley where Wang Yinghan came out. It was connected in all directions. The soldier behind him asked;

"Captain, what's wrong?"

"There's something wrong with that alley, how did he get out?"

The captain was still a little confused as to how he came out by such a coincidence. The brothers behind him also felt suspicious. They all got off their horses and drew their scimitars, and stood guard at the intersection. The soldier asked,
"Captain, what should we do?"

"A few of you stay and watch President Wang, while the rest of you go in and take a look."

"Yes."

The soldiers from the border army outside the pass held up their arm shields and scimitars, and entered the alley staggered. The soldiers in the back row were on guard, while the ones in the front were checking for footprints on the ground along the way. After turning a corner, they saw an alley. , the door of a house on the west side is wide open, it seems that someone has been here.

"Captain, there is a courtyard in front, and the gate is open."

The captain held a knife and led someone to touch it in. There was no one in the yard, and the surroundings seemed to have been cleaned up. There was a hole dug in the yard, and there was a bonfire inside. Reach out and try it out. And Yu Wen, I am afraid that someone just left and entered the house. Apart from the mess on the table, there was a lot of dust on the other desks. It was obvious that no one lived in it for a long time. A group of people should have come not long ago, and then again gone.

The captain turned around and left the room, looked at the brothers around him, put away his knife,
"Withdrawal, no one is here, escort Wang Patriarch back first."

"Yes, Captain."

"Master Xuhou, we're here. In front of us is the Yangzhou Imperial City Si Yamen."

Feng Qianhu led the way. When he arrived at a government office, he reined in his horse and turned around and said,

"call"

"call"

A large number of cavalry behind him stopped their horses almost at the same time. Zhang Jinyu led his guards to the front of the government office. He looked at the rusty and dirty gates around him. In some places, even the red paint had fallen off. , it looks like no one has cleaned it for a long time, it must be filled with ghosts.

"Feng Qianhu, what's going on? Why is it so messy and dirty?"

"Back to the Marquis, no one should be cleaning. This place has been empty for a long time. Ji Qianhu left through the side door in a hurry without checking carefully."

Feng Qianhu dismounted and walked over, took a look at the gate of the Imperial City Division, and replied to the Marquis, it was indeed too dirty.

"Get off your horses and go in to see what kind of kid is inside,"

"Yes, Lord Hou."

As soon as Zhang Jinyu finished speaking, Commander Lu took the lead to get off the horse first, then came to the mansion, kicked open the gate,

"Ahem." A lot of dust fell from the beams of the gate and flew into the air, choking the people below and coughing. Zhang Jinyu, who was following behind, covered her mouth and nose with her hands and looked at the thick dust on the gate. He shook his head and turned towards the side door, which was quite clean.

Stepping over the threshold, there is a small school yard, and then the main hall of the government office, which is nothing unusual. It has the same layout as other cities. When the wind blows, the dust on the ground will be rolled up, making it look a bit gloomy.

"Feng Qianhu, lead the way and look at that place."

"Yes, Lord Hou, it's in the backyard of the government office."

After receiving the order, Feng Gu walked at the front. Zhang Jinyu waved his hand, and a large number of soldiers from the Pioneer Battalion followed behind him.

On the side of the Zhengtang Hall of the government office, there is a bluestone path leading directly to the back office and the courtyard in the backyard. Walking along the bluestone road, passing the barracks where the people of the Imperial City Division lived, you will arrive at the big garden behind.

Surrounded by a red brick wall, there is only a small door in the center for three people to pass through, which is indeed strange.

Zhang Jinyu looked around outside and saw nothing strange, so she asked;
"Feng Qianhu, is this place?"

Feng Gu also looked around, then walked to the entrance and looked inside, and saw a large rockery blocking his view, but as Ji Qianhu said, he replied;
"Return, Lord Marquis, this is the place. Ji Qianhu said there is a big rockery at the entrance, which can block the view and prevent you from seeing what's going on inside. There is indeed one here."

"Well, General Lu, go and have a look together."

Zhang Jinyu really didn't believe these ghostly things, so she wanted to go in first to see what was going on at the entrance. Before she could think of it, she was grabbed by Commander Lu.
"Master Hou, absolutely not, this place is so weird, surrounded by towering courtyard walls, I am afraid that there is really a universe inside."

Although General Lu Yi didn't understand why there was such a high courtyard wall, it was strange that there was a ghost inside.

Zhang Jinyu patted the back of General Lu’s hand and comforted;

"Don't worry, old general. I'm not going in. Check the entrance. There's a gentle breeze here, and even anything that's there is blown away. I want to see what the layout is like inside."

"Then, Lord Marquis, I will go with you."

After speaking, Zhang Jinyu walked over first, smiled and shook his head, and the three of them walked into the rockery of the small door.

Zhang Jinyu estimated that the rockery here was four meters high and ten meters wide. It was like a barrier blocking the place. Even the wind could not blow in. She reached out and touched the stone wall of the rockery. It was not very hard. some powder,
"Feng Qianhu, do you know what kind of stone the rockery here is? Why does it not look like the granite stones outside?"

Feng Gu, who was on guard on the right side, heard the Marquis' inquiry and looked at it carefully. Then he suddenly took out his knife and slashed it directly at the rockery. Unexpectedly, he cut off a corner and exposed the inside. Sticky and sticky layer of glutinous rice.

"Master Hou, the rockery is glued up with stones, not the granite outside."

Zhang Jinyu could see clearly from the side, and touched the glutinous rice paste on the smooth part of the knife edge, as well as some relatively broken stones, and knew in his heart that this was a formation created by himself.

"Well, I saw it. The rockery is fake. This place must be famous. It was built by man. There is something fishy about it. Feng Qianhu, let your people form a team of ten first and prepare to go in."

"Yes, Lord Hou."

When Feng Gu divided the people from the Imperial City Division into groups of ten, he asked;

"Master Hou, how do we go?"

Zhang Jinyu saw two roads on the left and right and said;
"One on the left and one on the right, go in together, and blow the whistle if there is danger. Ten people line up in front and back, and the distance is widened. If something happens in the front, it will be seen by the people behind."

"Understood, Lord Hou."

Feng Gu immediately went out to explain to his subordinates, and then two teams of people entered the garden, one on the left and one on the right, and Zhang Jinyu also came to the intersection on the right and stood still, watching the people walking in, I saw that there was still a rockery blocking the next intersection. The people from the Imperial City Division walked around the rockery and disappeared.

Good guy, repeating the previous building, the person who built it here is considered a master.

Zhang Jinyu signaled Feng Gu to shout, and Feng Gu deliberately walked some distance forward and shouted;
"Have you found anything?"

"Go back to Qianhu, there is nothing unusual."

There was a faint echo from the front,
The team in front heard Qianhu's question and sent back the news. Feng Qianhu continued to walk along the road. When he reached the intersection and looked in, he saw that there was no trace of the person, so he continued to shout again;
"Where are you? Did you find anything?"

Unexpectedly, there was no echo from the front, everything was quiet, as if no one had been there, Feng Gu shrank his pupils, looked ahead vigilantly, and called out again tentatively;
"Lao Luo, did you hear that, are you fucking pretending to be dead?"

There was only the echo of his own words in front of him, and no one answered. Feng Gu immediately drew out his long knife, fine sweat covered his forehead, knowing that something happened to the person in front, he began to back away slowly.

Zhang Jinyu, who was behind him, naturally heard Feng Qianhu's shouts, and his face couldn't help but change. Interestingly, in less than half a stick of incense, 20 people were silent. The formation here is not simple.

"Master Hou, I'm afraid something happened to the brothers in front. There is no movement. There is still a rockery at the corner of the intersection behind, so I can't see what's going on there!"
