At present, the female historians are all busy in the front, and the backyard is quiet. Shen Liu Niang leads the two brothers into the small courtyard reserved for them.
Well, actually it was reserved for the third child, and it would be useless for him to reserve it for the sixth child.
Entering the luxuriously decorated bedroom, what comes into view is a Qiangongbabu bed that can sleep eight people.
To be precise, the bed was a small wooden house with doors and windows, two rooms inside and outside, with railings and eaves, and carved dragons and phoenixes.
"It's just a sleep, does it need to be so exaggerated?" Zhu Zhen was dumbfounded. The canopy bed he slept on in the palace was simply incomparable to this.
"You are still young and don't understand how good it is." The third brother showed a meaningful smile and patted the sturdy railings and pillars of the 'small cabin' fondly. "When you get married, the third brother will give you a bigger and bigger Zhang.
It's a fun bed. When the time comes, you can slowly appreciate its various charms...and its wonderful uses."
"Ahem." Mother Lu couldn't stand listening any longer, thinking that His Highness King Chu was a good child, and sooner or later His Highness King Jin would lead him into a stinky hooligan. She coughed lightly and said, "Your Highness, come in."
"Okay." Zhu Cai remembered the purpose of coming here and called Lao Liu to come into the bed.
Shen Liu Niang closed the door, followed her into the bed, and then closed the bed door.
Zhu Zhen opened his eyes nervously, watching the two men turn the bedposts at both ends at the same time.
Hearing the sound of rolling mechanisms coming from under his feet, he saw the bed board slowly lowering from the middle, revealing a square hole.
"Fuck..." His Highness the King of Chu couldn't help but curse. He didn't understand why he had to open the tunnel entrance under the bed.
What if one day the machine fails and it falls down while sleeping?
Or one day when I was sleeping, someone suddenly appeared under the bed, and I was scared to death.
"Did you see it, Lao Liu? The lust is just the disguise of the third brother. I'm keeping it a secret." Zhu added a superfluous explanation and said to Shen Liu Niang: "You stay here."
Shen Liu Niang nodded and handed over a lamp. His Royal Highness the King of Jin took the lamp and walked down the cave entrance first, followed by the King of Chu.
Not far down the road, there was a heavy iron door. The third child told the sixth child: "Remember the code, it's Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang."
"What dang dang..." Zhu Zhen was confused.
"This is 'it's appropriate, it's appropriate, it's appropriate'..." Zhu said and knocked on the door knocker seven times, the second one of which was obviously short.
"It turns out there is such a clang..." Zhu Zhen suddenly realized.
The iron door slowly opened from the inside, and it was Zhang Hu who opened the door.
After bowing and saluting the two highnesses, he led them into a brightly lit secret passage.
This is the listening tunnel designed by Zhu Zhen. Except for leaving an entrance in the room just now, it is completely physically isolated from the entire above-ground buildings of Jinlianyuan.
The entrance and exit of Zhang Hu and the "True Listening" members he leads are also in an inconspicuous small courtyard next door, and they will never meet the people in Jinlian Courtyard.
Although Zhu Zhen has never worked as a spy, he has watched a lot of Chinese and foreign spy movies, and he knows that the most important thing in eavesdropping is confidentiality.
Once someone discovers it, it is easy to invalidate the entire eavesdropping point. If the other party uses the trick to release false news, the consequences will be disastrous.
~~
The three of them didn't walk a few steps before they came to a fork in the road.
"Turn left to monitor the backyard, go straight to monitor the restaurant." Zhang Hu introduced.
"Go to the restaurant." King Jin ordered.
"Okay." Zhang Hu nodded, walked a dozen steps forward, passed through another door, and arrived at the underground of the restaurant.
More than a dozen "True Listeners" with excellent hearing were sitting quietly in the tunnel. When they saw Zhang Hu and his two highnesses coming in, they just kowtowed and kept silent.
Because according to the "Monitoring Regulations" written by His Royal Highness the King of Chu, no one is allowed to speak after entering the monitoring area, and communication is conducted in sign language and written language.
Once you enter the monitoring state, you still need someone to listen and keep absolutely quiet.
Firstly, this is to avoid interfering with the monitoring effect; secondly, it also prevents the monitoring target from discovering the sound if it is heard.
Of course, the latter possibility is extremely slim. Because in a noisy place like a restaurant, even if they hear some noise, no one will think that way.
~~
Sound-reducing listening urns are installed under the tables in all the private rooms on the first floor. The urns have their mouths facing upward and are hidden under the floor. The urns can collect the voices of people on the table and then transmit them to a room underground through copper pipes.
eavesdropping indoors.
Which private room you need to eavesdrop on? Just enter the corresponding eavesdropping room, unplug the listening tube, and record while listening.
The second and third floors also have the same design, but during the trial, it was found that the second floor was fine, but the third floor was too far away, so even if you listened carefully, you couldn't hear clearly.
The two brothers originally wanted to simply close the third floor. But Shen Liu Niang knew the thoughts of noble people and insisted on setting up the four largest private rooms on the third floor. Not only were they luxuriously decorated, but they were also suites.
And a table of food and drinks costs ten dollars.
She told the two brothers that this was the only way to catch big fish.
Lao San thought it made sense, so he and Shen Liu Niang asked Lao Liu to find a solution.
The hard-working child laborers had to rack their brains and design double-layer partitions between the private rooms on the third floor.
In this way, if you listen in the mezzanine between the partitions, you can easily eavesdrop on the conversations in the boxes on both sides.
He also designed two hidden passages like chimneys, connecting the underground and the mezzanine on the third floor... Most of the hair that His Highness King Chu lost fell on this.
It's a pity that today's grand opening is such a big deal that no one comes to the third floor.
In this era of deflation, almost no one can afford even a five-piece table.
So most of the time, the third floor should not be used.
~~
Zhu Zhen was there lamenting his hair loss, and Zhu Zhen had already started eavesdropping.
He asked someone to turn on the receiver of the wine pavilion where the second and fourth sons were, and put his ear to it. Sure enough, he heard a voice that seemed to be coming from far away, but was very close to his ears, and he could hear it clearly.
"What I regret most now is that I always fight against my third brother." Zhu Di sighed and said, "Actually, I know in my heart that he is a good brother, generous and protective of his younger brother, but I just can't bear to make peace with him.
.”
"My brother, no, there is nothing to be embarrassed about..." King Qin advised: "Go back, we will get married, live outside, and keep in touch with each other more."
"Hey, I don't know if Third Brother is willing to reconcile with me." Zhu Di said again.
"Yes." Lao Wu also said.
~~
The third child in the underground felt like hearing the fairy voice, and he benefited greatly. He winked at the sixth child proudly and asked him to listen to the true words of the fourth child.
Zhu Zhen gave the third brother a thumbs up in admiration, but secretly laughed to his heart's content.
Because he had explained the structure of Jinlianyuan to his fourth brother before coming, he knew that he would be eavesdropped.
Fourth brother and the others must be deliberately playing tricks on third brother...
Everyone in the wine pavilion didn't know what their expressions were.
The third brother was so proud of himself, as if he was celebrating the New Year.
Lao Liuxin said that this is the best example of how once the eavesdropping is leaked, the eavesdropper may be fooled.
