Chapter 368 Heroes Meeting (16)

Wen Jisheng found various official documents and some opened letters in the corner. And on the table at the other end of the conference room, there is a piece of writing paper that has been written but has not been finished.

But Ban Xiyu lowered his head to study these official documents and letters, and found that the lines could not explain anything. They were just files dealing with daily affairs, and could not be regarded as confidential documents.

"Can you see any clues?" Wen Ji asked.

Ban Xiyu shook his head and said: "It's just some ordinary official documents, of no use."

Wen Jisheng frowned: "Based on my understanding of Jiang Yin, the place he worked so hard to create will not simply handle a few daily official duties. There must be another mystery hidden here."

Saying this, he carefully explored the surroundings.

"Ok?"

Ban Xiyu leaned over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wen Jisheng pointed to the base of the wall and said, "There is actually a gap between the width of the corner here and the width of the main hall."

"What do you mean by this?"

Hearing Jisheng didn't answer, he thought for a while and then looked at the wall on one side. Ban Xiyu turned around and looked along his line of sight, only to see famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, all of which were freehand paintings of landscapes.

"Jiang Yin has hidden many mechanisms throughout the villa." Wen Jisheng said suddenly.

Ban Xiyu: "...?"

She was a little confused about what Wen Jisheng meant, and was about to ask clearly. The next moment she saw Wen Jisheng reaching out and groping around on the wall.

He either tapped lightly, or put his ear to the wall and listened carefully, and finally touched the landscape pictures.

Ban Xiyu asked: "What did you find?"

Hearing Ji's sound, he opened the scroll and tapped his knuckles on the wall behind the scroll. Several hollow sounds came from the wall.

"It should be right here."

After saying that, he reached out and pressed on the wall! Immediately afterwards, a square wooden block embedded in the wall sank. At the same time, a muffled buzz suddenly came from the protruding wall near the main hall.

Ban Xiyu looked back and was surprised to see a door opening on the wall behind her!
Wen Jisheng explained: "I just saw the position of the main seat of the main hall, and the end of the wall here is just short of a certain width. I was thinking that the spatial layout of the meeting hall is a bit strange and irregular."

Ban Xiyu suddenly realized: "So you thought of the mechanism in the villa."

Wen Jisheng nodded: "Yeah. I thought there might be a secret hidden in it, but I didn't expect that I guessed it right - there is actually a secret door hidden behind this gap in width."

He said: "Let's go in and take a look."

Wen Jisheng took steps forward, and when he walked into the secret door, he found that there was a faint light coming from inside the door, as if there was someone inside. At the moment, he became cautious. He blocked Ban Xiyu and said:
"I'll go take a look. Just wait here."

Ban Xiyu didn't want to cause trouble, so she nodded and agreed: "Okay, be careful."

She took a step back and looked up again to see the silent sound going deep into the secret door. Just when Wen Jisheng was about to round the corner, a sharp sword light suddenly fell from above his head!

"Silence!——"

In the flash of lightning, Wen Jisheng stepped aside to avoid it, then turned around and raised his leg to kick, and in the blink of an eye the sword flew away!

The secret assassin was kicked in the wrist and groaned in pain.

Wen Jisheng reacted faster and grabbed the long sword in his hand, and at the same time restrained the opponent with his backhand. I saw him holding the hilt of the sword behind his back, and the sharp blade touched the opponent's neck:
"Who are you and why did you attack me?" On the other side, Ban Xiyu witnessed the whole process with his own eyes, and he was also frightened at the moment. She stepped forward quickly, but was stunned for a moment when she saw the face of the sneak attacker.

"General Wan?!" Ban Xiyu said in shock, "Why are you here?"

The two people who were in a stalemate looked at her at the same time.

Wen Jisheng frowned: "Do you know him?"

General Wan was overjoyed at first: "Miss Ban! I've finally met you!" Then he glared at Wen Jisheng and said, "This place is dangerous, Miss Ban, it's better to leave quickly - this person has great martial arts skills. Gao Qiang is not a good person, so I will deal with it."

Wen Jisheng sneered and said: "My dear friend, I think you have ulterior motives - this is Honghu Villa. What is your purpose of lurking here and hurting me again!"

"..." Ban Xiyu's mind was about to get confused: "Wait, you two calm down first..."

At this time, General Wan sneered and said: "Oh, the purpose...my purpose is of course to rescue the two elders of the Ban family and our Miss Ban who are in jail! And then bring you martial arts rebels to justice!"

Wen Jisheng didn't know how he became a "rebellious party": "What nonsense are you talking about..."

Ban Xiyu opened her eyes wide and said in disbelief: "General Wan, be careful with your words! My grandparents are far away in Huaijiang Prefecture, how could they be in Honghu Villa?!"

"Don't Miss Ban know about it?" General Wan took a deep breath: "Not long ago, a group of people claiming to be Zhongwei Wenmei broke into Ban's house and kidnapped the two elders without saying a word. We..."

Just as General Wan was explaining, Senior Sun and other guests who heard the commotion rushed over.

They were also surprised when they saw the scene in front of them: "What...what happened?"

*
Half an hour later, General Wan finally explained the ins and outs.

"Jiang Yin sent people to kidnap my grandparents? Where are they now?" Ban Xiyu was shocked and said hurriedly:
"They are already elderly, and they made such a fuss... It's all my fault. I should have confessed to my grandfather and grandmother earlier."

If she had told the two elders the truth when there was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River, the situation might not have evolved to this point today.

Ban Xiyu blamed herself endlessly and wished she could turn back time.

General Wan hurriedly advised: "How can you blame Miss Ban for this? The culprit is the owner of the Jiangzhuang who talks a lot but has a snake heart. If he hadn't threatened the girl's life, the two elders would never have left Huaijiang Mansion!
"It was he who colluded with the Rongguo people, betrayed Daxuan, and intended to rebel. He even took the two elders of the Ban family hostage in an attempt to control the old Ban family members and work for him.

"Damn, you insidious villain. How can we, a seven-foot man who serves our country dignifiedly, let him have his way with us!"

After hearing what General Wan said, the martial arts people present were quite surprised.

"No way, that's Jiang Yin, the owner of Honghu Villa, a well-known and decent person in the world. Would he do such a treasonous thing?"

"How is it impossible?" General Wan placed a stack of letter paper and a stack of account books on the table. He said: "These are the correspondence between Jiang Yin and the imperial official 'Qi Lin', as well as the internal and external account books of 'Chongwei Wenmei', take a look for yourselves.

"You will know at a glance what the facts are."

Someone asked in confusion: "What kind of organization is this 'Chongwei Wenmei'...?"

Senior Sun said: "As far as I know, 'Chongwei Wenmei' is a sect that has emerged in the martial arts world in recent years. This sect is very mysterious and rarely interacts with other martial arts sects."

"With that said, 'Chongwei Wenmei' is really strange. Doesn't anyone know what they do? Are they killers? Or spies?"

Senior Sun looked troubled: "This... I don't know either."

"Whether it's a killer or a spy, these statements are not very accurate. To put it bluntly, 'Chongwei Wenmei' is an evil organization that specializes in underground black market transactions." Wen Jisheng said.
