Chapter 159 The Secret of the Small Gate
Zhang Po seemed to be very familiar with the path in the courtyard, and probably knew that there would not be anyone in the mansion wandering around late at night. Therefore, after leaving Liuxiang Pavilion, he walked forward with his head held high and did not pay any attention to the distance behind him. Qiao Xianyong, who was following her gently.
Qiao Xianyong did not relax for a moment, staring at Zhang Po in the dark, for fear that she would not be able to see her if she was not careful. She walked hurriedly into the garden, walked forward along the trees in the northwest, and somehow turned around, but suddenly disappeared.
Qiao Xianyong widened his eyes and looked forward, but he could not see Zhang Po's figure even when he looked left and right. He carefully followed the route that Zhang Po had just walked forward, and walked straight to the northwest corner of the courtyard, where Zhang Po disappeared. Only then did he see that the small red painted door on his left was the one I saw when he was walking in the courtyard.
Could it be that Mrs. Zhang actually sneaked into this door? What secret is hidden in this door?
Qiao Xianyong couldn't help but remember that when he approached this door a few days ago, he accidentally heard the moans coming from it. Qi'er, who was present, also heard it. It was just because the night was late, but the voices were shrill. Qi'er was frightened and begged Qiao Xianyong to return to the room. He did not come here to find out what the hell was. Since he had come here, no matter what role Zhang Pozi was here, he still needed to see it clearly.
Qiao Xianyong touched his back, and the Mo Jian didn't carry the urgent thing he had just come out. He could only remove the Xiansong sword that he had worn on his body from his neck and pulled it out in case of emergency.
Qiao Xianyong pushed it lightly, and the red wooden door was not locked like last time. So he opened the door a gap that was so popular that people walked sideways, then flashed into it and closed the door again.
With the stars, Qiao Xianyong looked at the small courtyard in front of him. It was an ordinary courtyard. The courtyard was empty and there was nothing, and there was not even the common stone chairs and benches. At first glance, it was no different from an abandoned courtyard. It just surrounded the courtyard wall for a week, like a cave where residents of villages and towns lived on the northwest plateau. There were more than a dozen semicircular door holes, each door looked like a room, but the door was closed tightly.
Qiao Xianyong looked at it and saw that the semicircular door hole in the second room in the north seemed to have a crack, and a slight candlelight appeared from it. He thought for a while, and tiptoed to the door and looked inside through the crack.
I saw a short man with his back facing the crack in the door, holding a candlestick in his right hand. Judging from his figure and hair accessories, this short man was Mrs. Zhang who just disappeared in this small courtyard!
Qiao Xianyong didn't dare to show off. He only heard Mrs. Zhang drink with a proud and low voice, "My wife's patience has been so many days, and she has almost finished her battle with you. Do you want to say it or not?"
Who is Mrs. Zhang talking to? Is there someone in this mansion still secretly imprisoned?
The man seemed to have used all his strength in his body and barely spoke, "Part Zhang, I have said it many times, I really don't know."
There was nothing special about this person's words, but for Qiao Xianyong, it was like a flash of lightning that shone through his mind and mind! He was very familiar with this person's voice, but he was Li's head of the Baisha Escort Agency!
When Qiao Xianyong entered the courtyard, even though he had thousands of thoughts in his mind, he might be a disobedient servant or maid in the courtyard, but he never thought that the person in the courtyard was his acquaintance, Li PaoTou! Then, if Li PaoTou was detained here, would the rest of the Baisha Escort Agency be in the room with a closed door next to it?
Why? Why did this mansion imprison Li Biaotou and others here? What does his mother have to do with this incident? Qiao Xianyong was shocked and angry, and wished he could shout it out immediately. But he calmed down and thought that his mother hadn't come to Anjiang City's house for a long time, butler Yan has always been guarding the mansion here. Could all this be the case led by Butler Yan? But he couldn't even think of what kind of conflict could the Baisha Escort Agency in Guang'an, Nancheng, thousands of miles away from him?
Killing money! A thought flashed through Qiao Xianyong's mind. Although he didn't know what the Baisha Escort Agency was holding, he could tell from the many people from the Green Forest who came to rob the green forest along the way that there were probably some priceless treasures among them. Could it be that Manager Yan was also doing a business with the white knife in the red knife? No, his mother probably didn't know about this matter, so he had to report to his mother overnight that the house was not safe, so he should persuade his mother to rectify her family traditions and clean up the door as soon as possible.
Qiao Xianyong was nervous and thought about it, but because he got too close, he accidentally touched the door frame and made a "bang".
Mrs. Zhang seemed to have a very sensitive hearing, and immediately turned around and whispered, "Who is it!" Then she took two steps towards the door and was about to open the door to check.
Qiao Xianyong's huge figure at this time is probably no longer able to hide. He thought to himself that he could only fight head-on. Could it be that he was still being blackened by this woman? He opened his mouth and was about to respond, but a black shadow suddenly came from behind him, covering his mouth and whispered in his ear, "Don't make a sound, lean against the wall, it's dangerous!"
Qiao Xianyong could only describe it as stunned. Just as he thought of Butler Yan's head, he didn't know that it was Butler Yan who was covering his mouth. He was about to question him, but he saw Butler Yan step forward and push open the door, and then immediately covered the door, but left a crack in the door. It seemed that Qiao Xianyong could still be heard outside the door.
I heard Butler Yan smile and said, "Part Zhang, it's me, Old Yan! Why are you doing so nervous? You also know that my mansion is as safe as an iron bucket. Who else can get in in the middle of the night?"
But Mrs. Zhang didn't seem to find it funny. She glared at Butler Yan fiercely and said in a low voice, "I don't know you will come here tonight! Why, Butler Yan also wants to get in on this matter? The old woman told you, you should take care of what you should care about, and you should not get involved in what you should care about!"
Butler Yan still laughed "haha" and said in a deep voice, "Pus Zhang, don't think you are a person who comes from the main mansion, you can be so domineering. Don't forget, whose territory is this? Besides, you have been dealing with this matter for so many days, but you haven't made a big deal of Chou Yin and Mao. To be honest, the superiors have long been dissatisfied with you! Otherwise, do you think Old Yan is willing to deal with your messy matter?"
When Mrs. Zhang heard what Mrs. Yan said, her face turned pale and she stood without saying a word.
