Jian Qingxuan said: "Grandpa Yun, I can't figure it out. Zhan Pingyuan and Jian Cuilian are hooking up. Didn't our house notice at all?"
She knew that the entire city lord's palace was under Jian Yun's control. Jian Yun was not aware of such a big scandal, which made Jian Qingxuan a little confused.
Although the adulterous couple Jian Cuilian and Zhan Pingyuan didn't reveal it directly, Jian Qingxuan, as smart as Jian Qingxuan, still guessed something from various signs.
Jian Yun's eyes flashed: "Actually, I know about this. It's not been a day or two since they hooked up. How could I not know about it?"
Jian Qingxuan said in confusion: "Then why didn't you tell me? Is it because you were concerned about your second uncle's face?"
Jian Yun said: "Actually, I reported it to the city lord."
"Grandpa also knows?" Jian Qingxuan couldn't figure it out even more, "Then how could grandpa spare Jian Cuilian?"
Jian Yun looked at Jian Cuilian and sighed: "Miss, you have a simple mind. The city lord has always wanted you to live a carefree life, so there are some things that I cannot let you know for fear of staining your pure heart. But now
In this situation, you have to shoulder the burden of our Great Sword City, so naturally we can no longer hide these things from you."
Jian Yun sighed and said: "If the city lord does this, he naturally has his own ideas..."
Jian Qingxuan's bright eyes flashed, and he said, "Does Grandpa want to hold on to this handle so that he can blackmail Chu Sui when necessary?"
Jian Yun was stunned.
Jian Qingxuan has always been simple and ignorant of worldly affairs. He did not expect that Jian Qingxuan could directly guess this.
Looking at Jian Yun's expression, Jian Qingxuan knew that he had guessed correctly, and could only let out a long sigh.
She said in a faint tone: "If we had dealt with them earlier, our house would not have suffered this disaster..."
Speaking of this, Jian Qingxuan's eyes flashed with hatred: "This incident must have been caused by Zhan Pingyuan and Jian Cuilian!"
Jian Yun gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "If they really did it, there will definitely be clues left. I will check when I get back and I will definitely find evidence."
After speaking, he continued: "The second master and the palace master are waiting for you, let's go back first."
Jian Qingxuan nodded and followed Jian Yun outside.
The two returned to Dou Chengfang's side. Jian Yun leaned down and took off the wooden ring from Dou Chengfang's wrist.
When he started, Jian Qingxuan saw that he was wearing an identical wooden ring on his wrist.
In the past, Jian Qingxuan only saw one on her grandfather's wrist and gave it to her before he died. She thought it was one of her grandfather's ornaments, but she didn't expect that Jian Yun also had one on his body, and there were more than one.
Jian Qingxuan had a vague feeling that this wooden ring might be more than just an ornament, so he asked: "Grandpa Yun, what on earth is this? Why do you want to give one to Sister Dou?"
Looking at Dou Chengfang's body on the ground, Jian Qingxuan burst into tears again.
Growing up, although she lacked the care of her parents, she had always been carefree because of her grandfather's blessing. However, things suddenly changed, and her emotions were so agitated that she could never imagine before.
Jian Yun said: "This is a secret of the Jian family. Only the city lord and I knew it before, not even the second master knew about it."
Jian Qingxuan asked: "What secret?"
BR/Jianyun Road: "This secret, I do n’t know which generation of the master of the swordsman started digging. Later, many generations of swordsman have expanded it, so the scale is getting larger and larger.
"
The more Jian Qingxuan listened, the more confused she became. She rubbed the wooden ring on her wrist and asked, "What does this have to do with the wooden ring?"
Jian Yun continued: "When I was young, the city lord took me to travel around the world. We accidentally discovered a kind of scorpion in the boundless desert. This kind of scorpion is very bloodthirsty. As long as it is a living thing they encounter, it will kill them."
They will eat them into bones.
The most amazing thing is that this kind of scorpion will constantly exhaust gases. The gases expelled by the swarm of insects will gather together to form white mist. People who accidentally inhale this white mist will become stupid and helpless.
Control it and throw it where the scorpions gather."
Hearing this, Jian Qingxuan thought of the white mist she saw in the tunnel, and her beautiful eyes suddenly widened: "You put that kind of scorpion in the secret tunnel?"
Jian Yun nodded.
Jian Qingxuan looked at the wooden ring on her wrist, thinking that the white mist would automatically avoid it if it floated next to her.
Thinking about it carefully, the white mist didn't drift towards Dou Chengfang and Zhan Pingyuan last night. I guess it was because Dou Chengfang was wearing a wooden ring?
Jian Yun continued: "Miss, I must have guessed that the purpose of this wooden ring is to prevent scorpions."
He explained: "At that time, the city lord and I were surrounded by a large number of scorpions. I accidentally discovered that where this plant grows, there will be no scorpions around, and it will even avoid the white mist. It is the natural nemesis of scorpions.
It was precisely because we discovered something that could restrain the scorpions that we dared to put the scorpions into the secret passage. Otherwise, if we let them escape, wouldn't everyone in the City Lord's Mansion suffer."
Jian Qingxuan said: "You used this kind of wood in the secret passage to restrict the scorpions to specific locations to prevent them from escaping?"
Jian Yun smiled happily and said: "Young lady is really smart, and you can guess right. Anyone who enters the secret passage, as long as there is no wooden ring on his body, will definitely be eaten into a pile of bones by scorpions."
Chu Tianshu, who was not far away, could clearly hear the conversation between the two.
Chu Tianshu couldn't help but be a little surprised. He didn't have any wooden rings on his body, and he had been to the white mist and even the deep pit where the scorpions were hiding many times. Why didn't he get hit?
At this time, the phoenix on the shoulder flapped its wings.
Chu Tianshu couldn't help but feel something in his heart. Could it be because of this guy?
Jian Yun warned solemnly: "Miss, you must not mention the secret passage to anyone, not even to the second master. This is a secret that only the leaders of the Jian family can know.
, If the old slave had not accompanied the city lord to release scorpions into the secret passage, the city lord would never have let me know about this."
Jian Qingxuan nodded: "I understand."
At that moment, the two of them left the secret passage.
Jian Yun took Jian Qingxuan for a while around the city, then returned to the crowded main street and went straight to the city lord's palace.
Chu Tianshu still didn't go out, and continued to hide in the secret passage, waiting for the right time.
Jian Yun brought Jian Qingxuan back to the city lord's mansion, and everyone came after hearing the news.
However, Fang Pifu respects his identity, so it is naturally impossible for him to come out to see Jian Qingxuan.
Seeing Jian Qingxuan covered in blood, Jian Xizhou asked nervously: "Xuan'er, what's wrong with you? Are you injured?"
Jian Qingxuan shook his head, feeling suddenly unspeakably aggrieved. He called out "Second Grandpa" and burst into tears.
