As soon as these words came out, Yin Hongzhuang was shocked.
"You...you are the national master!?"
The man in the well continued to ask for help: "Quickly - get me out first... Otherwise, if you are discovered, I will have to be moved again..."
"Don't worry, there's no one outside anymore..." Yin Hongzhuang said, and jumped down into the dry well. Sure enough, she saw an old man with a haggard appearance and skinny bones, with shackles on his hands and feet, and he was dying.
Just when he saw someone coming to save him, the old man's cloudy eyes gained a glimmer of life.
"Are you...really the Imperial Master?" Yin Hongzhuang took a closer look and felt doubtful.
Although this old man was tortured here, he was not like a human being, but he did not have the slightest resemblance to the national master. He was completely the same person.
"That demon took my body... The body I have now originally belonged to that demon..." the old man explained simply.
It turned out that the Imperial Master had many followers, and he once took in a strange man who came to seek refuge with him. He could call the wind and rain, and could do anything.
But unexpectedly, the kindhearted person who took her in would bring bad luck and be replaced by the monster.
The Imperial Master himself was trapped in a dry well and never saw the light of day.
It can be said that the sky is not functioning properly and the earth is not responding.
After Yin Hongzhuang listened to the old man's simple explanation, she was still in disbelief and couldn't accept it for a while.
"What happened outside?" the old man asked weakly, "I just heard a strange noise. I thought the court had discovered the clue and came to ransack the house, so I tried my best to call for help..."
"Little girl, who are you? Please save me first. I will be grateful to you in the future!"
Yin Hongzhuang came to her senses, revealed her identity, and without delay, immediately carried the old man on her back and left the dry well.
After finally coming outside, the old man burst into tears and couldn't help himself. He lay on Yin Hongzhuang's back and started crying.
"Adjutant Yin, thank you very much... If I can regain the position of national advisor in the future, I will definitely promote you to be the commander of the Yanjing Guard, and I will definitely give you corrections!"
"Let's not talk about this for now," Yin Hongzhuang didn't care too much about the pie the old Imperial Master drew for her. At the same time, she was also worried that those monsters would come back at any time, so she said, "Let me take you out of here first!
"
"Yes, yes, let's go quickly!" the old man urged, "I don't want to stay in this ghost place for a moment anymore!"
Even though this was once his mansion, it was also the place where his nightmares lay.
Immediately, Yin Hongzhuang carried the old man on her back and fled the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.
When I came outside, I just wanted to contact other members of the Yanjing Guard to come and respond.
"Wait a minute!" the old man reminded, "It's best not to look for people from the imperial court casually. I'm afraid that the demon's power has spread all over the past few years. If I find someone from them..."
"No." Yin Hongzhuang said firmly, "We at Yanjing Guard will definitely have no problem."
At this moment, a car drove by slowly and quickly backed away.
"Adjutant Yin? Why are you here? Are you here to cooperate with our Shuntian Mansion investigation?"
Hua Guodong stopped the car and got out of the car to ask.
It turned out that after crushing several mummies just now, Hua Guodong had already reported to Shuntian Mansion and asked them to send someone there.
As a result, I drove around a few times in the neighborhood. It was already dawn, and I didn't even wait for the guards from Shuntian Mansion.
Just when I was wondering, I happened to meet Yin Hongzhuang again.
"Huaya Nei?" Yin Hongzhuang was also surprised, "What case? Another murder?"
Everything that happened tonight was too weird. Yin Hongzhuang felt that her brain was running out of energy.
"Who is the old man you are carrying behind you?" Hua Guodong glanced at the old man and asked in surprise, "Why were you tortured like this?"
"I, Daxia, put filial piety first, who would do such a beastly thing!?"
At this time, the old man opened his mouth and said, "Is this the son of Hua Fu Yin?"
"That's right, old man, you also know me?" Hua Guodong assured him, patting his chest, "Don't worry, no matter who caused you to be like this, we, Shuntian Mansion, will support you!"
The old man said sadly and angrily: "It was the current Imperial Master who harmed me!"
"What!? Imperial Master!?" Hua Guodong quickly looked around, scratched his head and said, "This kind of thing doesn't seem to be under our Shuntian Mansion's control. Let's leave it to Yan Jingwei to handle it!"
It involves the Imperial Master and the implications are huge. Hua Guodong would not dare to take on this hot potato, otherwise he would be scolded to death by his father when he returns home.
"Master Hua, please take me to see your father!" At this time, the old man asked again.
Although he is in prison, in the heart of the old Imperial Master, there are still a few upright people who can be trusted.
Among them, there is naturally Hua Junyang, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture.
It would be difficult for the old Imperial Master to overturn the case on his own.
If we can gain the trust and help of Hua Fu Yin, there will be a glimmer of hope.
"Hua Yanei, things are a bit complicated. I will explain it to you slowly when I have time."
As soon as the old man opened his mouth, Yin Hongzhuang immediately carried the old man on her back and got into the car.
"Drive quickly and take us to Shuntian Mansion! Let's meet your father first."
Under Yin Hongzhuang's soft pleas, Hua Guodong had no choice but to accept the offer.
At the same time, I sighed in my heart: The beauty's request is really irresistible.
Hua Guodong was heartbroken, stepped on the accelerator, and took the two of them back to Shuntian Mansion.
"Master Hua, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness!" The old man thanked him repeatedly.
"I'm telling you, old man, what's the grudge between you and the Imperial Master?"
While driving, Hua Guodong wondered, the Imperial Master was a highly respected elder and was respected by the world, so how could he do such a beastly thing as abusing the elderly?
"I'll tell you the truth!" the old man said again, "I am the national preceptor, and the current national preceptor is a fake!"
What!?
Hua Guodong was shocked when he heard this.
I still haven't realized what happened.
As a result, at this moment, two towering trees appeared on the side of the road, as if they had come to life, taking one step at a time, blocking the way.
Hua Guodong hurriedly braked, but the front of the car still hit a thick tree trunk heavily.
Immediately, the giant tree raised its trunk as thick as a whip and slammed onto the roof of the car.
