The concubine Jiaojiao has high means, but the sick prince does not flirt

Chapter 165
She opened the tunnel entrance again, used the invisibility technique, and sealed herself with a barrier. In this way, even if there were Taoist masters in the tunnel, they would not be able to detect her whereabouts.

The tunnel goes vertically downward, about one floor high, before going parallel again.

Bai Zhi then thought that Mei'er's room was on the second floor, but there was a tunnel opening under the bed. It was obvious that the room below her room had a partition, and the tunnel opening was on the second floor. It was difficult to notice. After all, no one would have thought that there was a tunnel in the room on the second floor. , theoretically impossible.

Taking so much trouble to hide the tunnel shows that this Yihongyuan is not simple. Furthermore, the people who live in the tunnel are also very important.

Bai Zhi couldn't help but breathe heavily and groped forward.

After about a cup of tea, a faint light finally appeared in front of me, and the further I walked, the brighter the light became.

In the candlelight, an old woman sat hunched on the futon, her shoulders shaking, as if she was crying.

When Bai Zhi turned to the front of the old woman and saw her face clearly, she was instantly terrified.

Although the face looked gaunt and not at all what he usually looked like, she could recognize who it was at a glance.

How did she become like this?
Why was he imprisoned in the secret underground passage of Yihongyuan?
Too many questions swarmed out in an instant, causing Bai Zhi's head to explode.

She soon realized that she couldn't stay here for long, lest she startle someone else.

With the fastest speed, Bai Zhi backed out from the original road, returned to Meier's room, restored everything to the original state, and escaped quietly.

Coming out of Yihong Courtyard, she turned into a secluded alley and made sure no one was there, so she leaned against the wall, squatted down, put her hands on her knees, and recalled what she saw in the tunnel just now...

Suddenly, Bai Zhi felt a pair of hands pressing on her shoulders.

She, who was thinking hard all over her body, was so frightened that her body trembled and she screamed out.

"what……"

However, as soon as the word "Ah" came out of his throat, a pair of big hands blocked him before he could leave his mouth.

Bai Zhi shook her head and struggled desperately. During the intimate contact, she felt a familiar breath and simply stopped moving.

"Zhi'er, it's me."

Shen Changyan's warm voice was full of comfort.

"You're scary, scary to death, you're so damn late at night..."

Bai Zhi was so angry that she couldn't help but swear, but she stopped in time and snorted heavily to express her anger.

"Zhi'er, I have something important to tell you."

Shen Changyan knew that she was angry now, so he changed the subject without leaving any trace.

"Say!" Bai Zhi snorted angrily, understanding what he was thinking.

"The jailer was intercepted and killed on his way back to prison..."

Bai Zhi originally thought that he was just looking for a random topic, but she didn't expect that he would actually say this. She immediately raised her ears and listened carefully.

After waiting for a while, Shen Changyan didn't make a sound.

She could only urge her aloud: "Leave half of your speech, deliberately teasing people's appetite? Say it, and then what?"

Seeing that she had entered his topic, Shen Changyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and replied calmly: "Since I told you about this, of course I happened to meet and rescued her."

Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly recalled it.

"You don't sleep in the middle of the night, wandering on the street? Are you following me?"

Shen Changyan didn't answer her, but continued: "Zhi'er, don't you want to interrogate him?"

"Destroy my plan, I let the jailer go, but you..."

Bai Zhi was still full of anger, not because she was stingy, but because she was so angry that she followed her.

"If it wasn't for me, tonight would be the jailer's memorial day. He used to go to see Mei'er irregularly every few days, and he entered Yihong Courtyard for the second time tonight, which must have aroused suspicion, which led to his death." Shen Changyan said solemnly explain.

"You are right, but why are the jailers possessing their secrets?" Bai Zhi raised her own question.

Shen Changyan fell silent, this was something he couldn't understand.

After a long time, he said softly: "Let's wait and see."

There is no other way but to wait and see.

Bai Zhi nodded: "Tell me the details of how you rescued the jailer."

Shen Changyan did not refuse and told the truth.

He used some means to save the jailer. The two killers were dizzy for a moment and thought the jailer was dead. In fact, Shen Changyan took advantage of the jailer's daze and gave him medicine to fake his death.

The two killers woke up, checked that the person was dead, and then went back to resume their lives.

Shen Changyan immediately ordered the jailer to be taken back to his private residence and put under guard.

"I will take you to another courtyard now."

Bai Zhi was deeply surprised, and couldn't help teasing: "How many private houses do you have? Only I know that there are two. Do you have a hobby of collecting houses, or do you have a hobby of hiding beauty in a golden house?"

"..."

When Shen Changyan heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

That private residence was just a separate courtyard where he used to deal with private matters.

He didn't explain too much, so as not to make the story darker and darker over time, which would detract from people's hearts.

The two came to the other courtyard, and in the underground secret room, Bai Zhi met the jailer.

"Isn't it time to tell the truth?"

Bai Zhi looked at him with a sneer on her lips.

"What are you talking about, I was killed by you." The jailer squatted on the ground pretending to be stupid.

"If you don't have secrets in Yihongyuan, will you be silenced? If you don't tell the truth now, no one can save you." Bai Zhi walked to the Taishi chair and sat down, casually reminding her.

The jailer slumped on the ground and suddenly cried into his arms.

"Tell them all so that we can help you. I am sure that your silence this time has nothing to do with the last time. What is going on with Meier and the secrets in the tunnel in her room!" Bai Zhi suddenly raised her voice, as if she was lost. Got patience.

The jailer looked up at her in horror, and asked in a voice, "How do you know?"

Shen Changyan looked at Bai Zhi calmly.

Ying Ze, who was guarding and protecting outside the window, only saw the entrance of the tunnel and did not go down for fear of being noticed by Bai Zhi. Therefore, Shen Changyan did not know the secret of the tunnel.

"This is not something you should care about, just tell the truth."

Bai Zhi's face was as dark as water, and her eyes were cold, staring closely into the jailer's eyes.

The jailer was oppressed by her super strong aura and did not dare to look directly at her, so he told her truthfully.

It turns out that the jailer and Meier did meet on the street.

That day, there was a meeting held by a wealthy family in the city, and Mei'er was asked to sing. Because she was an upright official and had no turmoil, she would not affect the happiness of the owner's family.

But Meier was harassed on the way, and she had a premonition that her innocence might not be guaranteed during this trip, so her mother reached some kind of deal with a big business owner.

She reasoned that she suddenly had a stomachache, and refused to go to the big family's house to sing, so she started making trouble on the road.

The jailer encountered her on the way home and rescued Meier righteously. He sent Meier back to Yixiangyuan and kept her for three days to prevent her from being forced again.

He only has three days' money on him, he is just a small jailer, not rich, for that alone, Mei Er is already very grateful.

The jailer liked her even more and immediately promised to go home and raise money to redeem her body.

Meier was moved and pledged herself to her.

Haikou boasted that the jailer was in trouble when he came out of Yixiangyuan. Where can he raise money?
Seeing that three days are coming soon, Meier will be doomed again if she does not renew in time, and the jailer even has the idea of ​​going out to rob.
