Lai Quan was worried, "But Second Young Master, I used to go there often, staying all night, and never let the younger ones follow me. If I go there rashly, will it..."
He was also afraid that Liu Ning would beat him. After all, Liu Ning was sometimes very violent, especially when he ordered things that were absolutely not allowed. If someone broke the rules that were absolutely not allowed, he would be beaten to death.
Lai Quan is also afraid.
"So, I'd better go and have a look myself. I just said I couldn't find him anywhere, so go in and have a look." Liu Lingzhou is not stupid, so he will naturally know what Lai Quan means.
Lai Quan meant exactly this. He nodded and retreated.
Liu Lingzhou finished washing, thought about it, and still wanted to tell Mrs. Chen, but she was at Liu Zhifen's place, so he had to go by himself.
Liu Lingzhou entered the small courtyard and found that no one was there. Then he called out, "Father, Father, are you in the house? Yesterday you ordered us to move. We started cleaning up early in the morning, and we couldn't find you anywhere."
, so come here and take a look.”
no respond.
Liu Lingzhou complained, then opened the door and entered the house.
The door was also locked. He hesitated for a moment, looked out the window, and saw no one on the kang. He then went to the next door to check, but there was still no one, and he couldn't help but become anxious.
He shouted several times but didn't hear any response, so he had to call the servants to knock on the door.
After breaking in, he was the first to rush in. He looked around but couldn't find Liu Ning.
Liu Lingzhou was shocked and quickly called Lai Quan, "Is father here?"
Lai Quan nodded and said affirmatively: "Second Young Master, he is from here. Several people came with a cart. The master went in by himself, closed the door, and then never came out again."
Liu Lingzhou was puzzled, and called the doorman and the night watchman, but they both said that they had not seen the master and had not left the house.
Liu Lingzhou quickly sent someone to notify Mrs. Chen and Liu Zhifen.
Mrs. Chen had someone help her and rushed over, shouting: "Look, it's impossible to enter the house properly and then the person disappears. Dig the ground three feet into the house for me."
As soon as she gave the order, the servants immediately started rummaging through the boxes and cabinets.
In fact, there was nothing to dig through, so I quickly opened the Kang mat and looked for the copper door.
A servant shouted in surprise, "Second Master, madam, there is a secret door here."
They hurriedly went over to take a look and found that the copper door was unlocked and was closed. They immediately concluded that it was closed from the inside.
Liu Lingzhou looked at Mrs. Chen, "Mother, when will there be a door here?"
This shows that there is a secret room under the room, but they don't even know it.
Mrs. Chen shook her head, "I don't know, maybe it was already in the house."
Many mansions have secret rooms. Even the mansions gifted by the emperor, some have secret rooms, which is not surprising.
It's just that this secret room is not in his study, but in such an inconspicuous little courtyard, which is strange.
Mrs. Chen asked people to go down to have a look. Lai Quan and others went down first. Soon the people above heard the exclamations below, "Master, master... Madam, Second Young Master, we found the master. He is unconscious."
Mrs. Chen shouted, "Hurry, lift it up quickly."
Soon, Liu Ning was carried up, but his body was already cold and erect, his face was purple and blue, and he had obviously been dead for a long time...
