Chapter 33 The Secret Room
"At midnight, be careful of candles!" The watchman's voice resounded throughout the silent Nanshi Street. Unknowingly, it was already midnight.
Lu Chengfeng yawned tiredly and glanced at the food that had been left to cool on the table, but he still had no appetite. I wonder if the little beggar woke up?
Since ancient times, the dark moon kills people on night, and the wind blows high and sets people on fire!
Tonight, after this shocking case of massacre, I pulled out the carrot and brought out the mud again. I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to sleep well in the rest of the night!
The black tiles and white walls are several feet high, and the east, west, south, and north gates are connected. What a secret room murder case!
If this case is not solved, someone on my way will have trouble sleeping and eating! Why not call those brothers and go around again? The large amount of treasure recorded in the account books has not been found yet. Is there any secret room hidden in the Jiang Mansion?
, a secret passage or something?
Lu Chengfeng thought and walked outside the study.
"Report! The snow has been cleared! Please review it by His Royal Highness!" Someone came to report.
Lu Chengfeng took a closer look and saw that in the ice and snow, the soldier's face was covered with sweat, and there were countless ice shards on his head.
Lu Chengfeng followed him into the courtyard. The heavy snow had not stopped yet. He saw the few soldiers shoveling the snow as they shoveled hard, and God kept pushing hard. The soldiers were sweating like rain with their heads covered with ice slag. It was really ice and fire.
Two heavens!
Because of his grandson’s order, these people worked for two full hours before clearing the snow! Lu Chengfeng’s nose suddenly felt a little sore and he said, “It’s really hard work, everyone!”
He quickly checked the yard and other open areas as quickly as possible, but still found no traces on the ground! No holes! There were no suspicious traces!
Lu Chengfeng suddenly felt extremely frustrated! Everyone’s efforts for half a night were in vain!
He looked back at the people following him. Some of them were already turning blue from the cold. He couldn't help crying and said, "Go in quickly and find some clean clothes to change into. I'll go to the kitchen to make some ginger soup to warm you up."
Warm up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chengfeng ran straight to the backyard kitchen without any explanation.
The strange thing is that there are three stoves built in the kitchen: large, medium and small!
The big stove is easy to understand, it must be used by the servants of Jiang Mansion to eat in a big pot.
The small stove is also easy to understand. It should be specially prepared for the owner, otherwise there would be no such word as "opening a small stove"!
So what about the one in the middle?
Lu Chengfeng stared at the big pot on the stove in the middle suspiciously for a long time. It looked like this pot had rarely been used. The inside and outside of the pot were still bright, and there was no ash at all! This is too abnormal!
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
Lu Chengfeng opened the big pot and rolled it aside.
I saw that the pot was more than a foot deep
There was a hole hidden in the place. The entrance of the hole was covered with a wooden board. A big blood-red "
It was also sealed tightly by yellow mud, and nothing could be seen.
This is no ordinary stove!
It was just as I expected! Lu Chengfeng shouted, "Here comes someone! Come all of you! There is a secret passage here!"
The soldiers swarmed over. One person held a big knife and slashed hard. The wooden board broke into two pieces, and one of them fell deeply into the black hole hidden behind the wooden board. For a long time, there was no response!
This is indeed a bottomless secret passage!
"Your Highness, it's dangerous down there! Let me explore the way first!" The strong man with the knife picked up the torch in his hand and jumped down.
"Strong men, be careful!" Lu Chengfeng shouted as he went down to the entrance of the cave. The other soldiers hurriedly threw down the hemp rope into the cave.
After a while, the strong man didn't come out.
"How are you? Are you okay? Where does this secret passage lead to?"
Lu Chengfeng looked anxiously at the entrance of the cave, but felt that something was shining inside the cave.
But I heard the man was overjoyed and laughed wildly, "Brothers! We are rich! Hahahahahaha..."
So, other people rushed down to the cave. Lu Chengfeng was the last one.
"Get rich! Really get rich!"
"There must be smoke coming from my ancestor's grave!"
"The Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Bodhisattva bless you!"
Some people opened their mouths in ecstasy, some were so excited that they burst into tears, some knelt on the ground and prayed thankfully, and some crazily stuffed treasures into their arms without saying a word.
As soon as Lu Chengfeng landed, he was completely shocked when he saw the mountains of gold and silver behind the corner of the cave!
They were several huge mahogany boxes. The locks had been broken open by everyone with violence, revealing several large boxes of gold and silver jewelry inside. The shining light suddenly swept away the darkness in this deep hole!
Lu Chengfeng, a little money-lover, suddenly had golden eyes, his brows lit up with joy, and he secretly said proudly:
I think I counted so many banknotes in the 2010s, but I’m not as happy as these boxes of treasures today! Good guy! I’m going to get rich! I’m really a SUPER BOY with my own treasure chest!
Thinking about it, he pounced on the gold and silver mountains, God, let me wander in this ocean of gold, silver and jewelry!
However, they saw that the first strong man to come down had already taken off his clothes and made a temporary baggage. After three strokes, five divided by two, the baggage was filled to the brim. Then, he shouldered the baggage on his body in an elegant manner and put his hands on it.
He arched his head and said, "Good brothers, we are blessed together today! We will meet again at the end of the world, and the future will be long!" Then he climbed up the hemp rope.
maybe baby
It was too full and too heavy. He no longer had the vigorous posture when he came down just now, and could only slowly move toward the entrance of the cave, one step at a time.
"Don't go!" Lu Chengfeng raised his head and shouted at him. Oh, it's all snowflakes' real money. Lu Chengfeng was heartbroken.
The strong man ignored him. Gold, silver and jewels kept falling out of his trouser legs, boots and armholes, making Lu Chengfeng look dumbfounded.
The others followed his example and climbed out with their loads.
Seeing that he couldn't stop it, Lu Chengfeng had no choice but to shake his head.
Who would have known that the last soldier who crawled out bowed to him and thanked him, then cut the hemp rope in half!
Now I'm the only one left! That's fine, just let me lie down in this mountain of gold and silver and be with them!
However, the truth has not yet been revealed, and I don’t know what the mechanism of this underground cave is? Where does it lead? Lu Chengfeng had to explore slowly alone.
The strange thing is that there is nothing in this cave except a few large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry. Lu Chengfeng carefully knocked every stone brick in the cave, but no mechanism popped up.
In this underground cave, stone is stone and brick is brick!
So this is not a secret passage, it can only be regarded as a secret room at best!
Looking at the mountains of gold, silver and jewelry, Lu Chengfeng was blinded.
Suddenly, an idea struck me. Could there be any unknown secrets hidden under so many treasures?
With this thought in mind, he organized it with his bare hands.
I don't know how long it took, but his fingertips were almost bleeding, and he finally saw a piece of yellowed paper!
Half of the paper was dyed dark red by something unknown, and it looked like it had been aged for some time. It was thin and brittle. Lu Chengfeng gently laid it on the floor tiles, and then unfolded it carefully.
There were a bunch of strange symbols drawn on the yellowed paper! Lu Chengfeng was shocked! Those symbols were extremely familiar to him. They were the symbols that hung on the black stone around his neck every day! They were exactly the same! He would never know that.
Make a mistake!
When he was a child, he used to pester his master over and over again to ask about the origin of the necklace, but his master always said that he didn't know. He had already put it on his neck when he picked it up. He also joked with a smile that it might be a gift from God.
, born with it, proves that Lu Chengfeng must be an extraordinary person in this life!
I think back then, the personal guards sent by Prince Mian's Mansion to look for him also saw his necklace and decided that he was Prince Mian's illegitimate son and the grandson of the exiled prince of Dajing!
But, why does Jiang Mansion also have it? Could it be that the people from Jiang Mansion are related to Lu Chengfeng? What's more, this talisman is still buried under these mountains of gold, as if it will never see the light of day! Lu Chengfeng felt even more shuddering when he thought about it.
