Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 487 Darkroom
"one two Three!"

The two pressed the pattern hard at the same time.

With a sound of "click", a row of gray stones on the wall retracted into the wall, and the stone engraved with the giant python and the stone carved with the lion moved to the middle at the same time. With a soft "click", the giant python embedded in the mouth of the lion .

Immediately afterwards, two double hidden doors popped open on the wall, revealing a dark room.

"Master, the dark room!"

"walk into!"

The two walked in.

This is a large dark room, which is full of news switches that activate the mechanism.

Di Renjie and Zeng Tai walked in slowly holding torches.

Zeng Tai asked, "What kind of place is this?"

Di Renjie said: "If my predictions are correct, this must be the general information room of the castle's organs. These switches control the activation of various organs in the castle."

While talking, he lowered the torch to shine on the triggers, and saw words engraved on each trigger.

The two walked forward slowly, and suddenly, an iron switch with a height of half a person appeared on the left side of the dark room.

Di Renjie shined a torch on the switch, on which were engraved the four characters "Gate of the Underground Hall".

Di Renjie said: "I think it should be it."

As he spoke, he handed the torch to Zeng Tai, holding the trigger with both hands and pushing back. At that moment, there was a loud rumble and exclamations from the soldiers in the hall.

The two looked at each other, then rushed out of the dark room and ran towards the underground hall.

The wall to the northwest parted on both sides amidst a loud crunching sound, revealing the wide tunnel hidden behind it.

Di Renjie and Zeng Tai walked into the tunnel and held up torches to look around. The tunnel was made of solid soil and the ground was covered with ruts.

Di Renjie's face showed joy: "They transported the money from here."

Zeng Tai looked at Di Renjie: "Not bad."

Di Renjie said: "It's not easy to transfer 500 million taels of salary. They can't run far! Zeng Tai, leave two teams here to guard, and the rest will follow you and me into the tunnel to chase. We must get the salary back." !"

"Yes!"

……

Return to the back hall of Yibo Mansion.

Just as Wang Mang wanted to save people, suddenly, he changed his mind, he might as well see who set up the mechanism, and he looked inside quietly.

After a while, the dark room in the back hall was opened, and two people came out, it was Mrs. Wei Er and a woman dressed as a maid.

Wang Mang was taken aback immediately: "Why is she here?"

At this time, he had some guesses in his heart, and he looked inside.

Mrs. Wei'er and the maid whispered something, after a while, the maid nodded, turned around and walked out, Wang Mang hurriedly hid aside.

In the hall, Li Yuanfang slowly opened his eyes, feeling dizzy in his head, he quickly closed his eyes.

After a long time, the dizziness gradually weakened, and his sanity gradually recovered.

When he opened his eyes again, a familiar face came into view——Wang Qiang's wife Weier.

Li Yuanfang was taken aback and sat up awkwardly.

Wei'er smiled at Li Yuanfang and said, "Why, I didn't expect that?"

Li Yuanfang looked around and asked suspiciously, "What kind of place is this?"

Wei'er said softly: "Return to Yibo Mansion."

"Madam, why are you, you and Wang Qiang here?"

"Because this is my home."

"What, your house?"

"Exactly."

Li Yuanfang's mind was in chaos, he shook his head, trying to clear his mind: "I remember that in the old castle, you once asked me to take a letter to Jixiang Lane, Liangzhou, and give it to a person named Honggu. "

"Yes."

Wei Er said: "I am Hong Gu."

Li Yuanfang was dumbfounded: "Are you Hong Gu?"

Wang Mang, who was eavesdropping outside the window, was also dumbfounded. Is Wei'er Honggu?
Wei'er looked at Yuan Fang motionlessly: "I am Hong Gu."

Li Yuanfang asked: "Since Madam is Hong Gu, why didn't you tell us frankly in the castle that night, and why did you ask us to send the letter here?"

Wei'er said: "Under the circumstances at that time, I said that I was Honggu, would you believe me?"

Li Yuanfang thought about what she said, and nodded: "That's true. But I still don't understand why you want us to send the letter here since you are not in Gui Yibo's residence."

Wei'er sighed softly and said, "It was a mistake, which caused a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstand?"

Wei'er said: "Three days ago, that is, the morning you came to the castle, Wang Qiang told me to rush back to Liangzhou overnight.

But what I didn't expect was that you came in the evening, and when you mentioned staying overnight in Wangjiabao in the chat, Wang Qiang's expression changed immediately.

Because a few days ago, Mei Xiang was rescued in Wangjiabao, and the temple in the castle was also destroyed.

At that time, although I didn't know this, but seeing Wang Qiang's face, I knew it was not easy.

Originally, I invited you to the room to ask you about the situation of staying overnight in Wangjiabao, but you did not tell me the whole story out of caution, which I had already thought of.

Therefore, I prepared that letter in advance..."

Li Yuanfang said: "This doesn't seem to be the question I want to ask."

Wang Mang outside the window frowned, not knowing whether what Wei Er said was true or not.

Wei Er said: "Don't worry, please listen to me.

After you left, the more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt. At this moment, the servant girl Yan'er followed Wang Qiang into the underground hall, overheard their assassination plan, and came back to report to me.

So I came to Mr. Huai's room, first to warn him to be careful, and second, to ask about the overnight stay at Wangjiabao and Meixiang, but you didn't believe me.

So I thought, anyway, you have promised to take the letter and belt to Liangzhou and send them to the Bo’s residence, and I was going to leave the castle that night, so I will definitely arrive before you.

In this way, when you come to deliver letters to the uncle's mansion, you will naturally meet me, and I can invite you to other places, ask about the situation of Wangjiabao that night, and ask for that belt back. "

Speaking of this, Wei'er took a look at Li Yuanfang and said, "I didn't expect that many things happened that night.

When I rescued you and returned to the room, Wang Qiang told me that I would be arriving in Liangzhou two days later. I felt that something was wrong at that time, but it was too late to inform you. "

Li Yuanfang said: "It turned out to be like this. When we arrived in Liangzhou this morning, Mr. Di Chun sent three people to Jixiang Lane to deliver the letter, but they still haven't returned in the evening."

Wei Er apologized: "I'm really sorry, Wei Er did not act well and brought you such a big trouble."

Li Yuanfang said: "Ma'am, you are serious."

Wei'er said: "I think, your three partners must have been lost in the uncle's mansion."

Li Yuanfang nodded affirmatively: "This is for sure. At that time, I felt that something was wrong, so I asked about the location of Jixiang Lane, and sneaked into the uncle's mansion at night, looking for the whereabouts of Di Chun and the other three.

But when I arrived at the back hall just now, for some reason, my mind was dizzy, and I have been unconscious since then.Madame, you saved me, didn't you? "

Wei'er said: "That's right. I was passing by the back hall just now, and when I heard something going on inside, I went in to have a look. I happened to meet you fainted on the ground. Yan'er and I rescued you here."

Hearing this, Wang Mang sneered and looked inside quietly.
