Vol 2 Chapter 6: Where did people go

Qiling, the prefect’s office, another room
Taishou Feng took the lead, surrounded by the Seventh and Eighth Yamen.
A sorrowful eye swears:
"Big brother, we are all ready. The night signal started, and the post and the office were on fire. We killed those fans in one fell swoop!"
Feng Taishou's face was solemn, and he slowly raised his head, his bright and powerful eyes were empty at this moment, and the deep (color) eyes were even more mixed with inexplicable sadness and sadness.
The right hand was squeezed into a fist, and the phalanges rubbed against the mood swings to produce a "quack, quack" noise.
"Eleven years! It's time... to collect the blood debt for Zheng Guogong..."
A government officer looked at the window, suddenly thought of something, and worried:
"Brother, the little fan guard next to the is very ghostly! Look at him, he hasn't stopped since the moment he entered the city. He sang with the admiral of the East Factory and specifically asked us for trouble."
Prefect Feng took Sayuan's gaze, as if thoughtful, narrowed his eyes slightly, and murmured:
"At a young age, he has a careful mind and a unique vision. It's Leng Qingtang's apprentice. But where did he see his face?"
The door of the room was wide open, and the office panicked at his feet. As soon as he entered the house, he stumbled:
"Big Brother, the kid named Yun Guaner... ran into the kitchen!"
...
kitchen
Gu Yunxi walked out of the secret room and approached the truth of the request step by step.
The steps were narrow and steep, and each step could not fit her entire foot. Gu Yunxi held the Huozhezi firmly in one hand, supported the wall with the other, and tiptoed towards the depths of the secret room. Every time she walked a step, she would keep a count in her heart.
She walked down a total of twenty-eight steps, and the slender passage was revealed before her eyes.
The heart was frightened, and Gu Yunxi stopped moving forward again. Huozhezi emitted a faint light, struck her slender and dark figure obliquely on the ground of the passage, and stretched it slender.
If you stop here and return to report to the Supervisor, I am afraid it will be too late.
The fierce response of the stalking yaman who was taking poison and vomiting and diarrhea would soon be noticed by Feng Taishou. After leaving, it would be difficult for the people in the East Factory to get close to this kitchen.
Maybe the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, it would force Prefect Feng to move the things in the secret room, or attack the people in Dongchang in advance.
Until now, I can only go on
After swallowing hard, Gu Yunxi no longer hesitated, biting his lower lip and striding forward, and continued to (touch Mo) in the narrow passage where he could not see his fingers.
The far-reaching, dark, and unknown world is like a bottomless abyss, swallowing her petite body, forcing her to keep walking, but there is no way out.
The temperature in the secret room was humid and hot, but she was shivering as she walked forward because of the cold.
Obviously it was only fifty steps away, for her, it seemed to be a long and endless journey.
In front of the field of vision, the blurry space suddenly widened.
The smell of flames, blood, and excrement smelt on his face, which was extremely choking. Gu Yunxi subconsciously covered his mouth and nose and frowned deeply.
Holding up the Huozhezi and taking photos everywhere, she saw that the ground and the surrounding stone walls were very flat, and they had been trimmed with fine blue bricks and white ash.
Gu Yunxi cautiously walked deeper into the secret room, not forgetting to be vigilant at all times, carefully paying attention to all the surrounding movement. In her mind, she hinted over and over again:
"There are no monsters, no monsters! Going further in, you will see mountains of gold and silver treasures, and countless deeds of good land. That is evidence of corruption by the dog official Feng Heng.
And I must collect the evidence as soon as possible and return to the supervisor
The eagerness to make meritorious service gradually became rampant, and Gu Yunxi no longer had any cowardice at this moment, he just kept holding up his feet.
Somewhere in front, there was a sudden rubbing sound in the shadow, and a series of groans, as if someone's light sigh, made her pause.
In an instant, a beating heart that was already tight to the extreme seemed to stop suddenly. Although the (chest xiong) was very uncomfortable in the cavity, Gu Yunxi did not dare to breathe out.
come out.
At this moment, immersed in the quiet and strange darkness, she only felt cold all over her body, and the hairs were standing upright.
Here... there is a living thing?
She slowed down, describing her as being very alert, constantly looking for the source of the noise.
Once, she fought fiercely against the wolves under the cliff of Yufeng Mountain. The experience of surviving catastrophe made her feel that in the future, there will be no beasts that can easily scare her.
At the end of the secret room, Gu Yunxi finally found a bruised man curled up in a corner of the stone wall.
His hands and feet were tied tightly with ropes, and his messy beard and hair were glued together. The only white (colored) shirt and shorts left on his body were covered with blood stains and filth, exuding an unbearable stench.
Gu Yunxi was completely stunned. She didn't expect that there was only one big living person hidden in this secret room, which was made with a lot of money and silver.
Who is he? Why were your hands and feet and thrown into the secret room? Could it be...
The moment a terrible thought popped out of his mind, Gu Yunxi himself was taken aback. To confirm the point, she held her breath and took a few steps closer to the man.
Five steps away, the man felt the swaying flames in the darkness, and slowly and hardly raised his head to the light, his dazzled eyes finally met Gu Yunxi's panic.
(Dry gan) His bloodied lips slowly opened, and with the stinking odor, the muddy syllables of "babble babble" burst out from his dry throat.
Suddenly, Gu Yunxi's legs seemed to be firmly grasped, no matter how difficult it was to lift him, he moved forward easily or backed away at will.
This bound person... his face, his facial features... are exactly the same as Feng Taishou's!
The facts are as I imagined
She has always suspected that Feng Heng, who greeted Dongchang's imperial brigade into Qiling, was pretending to be someone disguised. The truth, if so!
Heaven's law cycles, retribution is unhappy.
Come to think of it, Feng Heng has been an official for several years, and it is because he has done all bad things that he will be targeted by a group of people of unknown origin.
They imprisoned him, changed into his and the yamen's clothes, and pretended to be the officials of the Taishou Palace.
In this way, it is not difficult to explain why there are so many holes in the yaman service. Those, should be the evidence that when the group was fighting with the real officials for the purpose of occupying the Taishou Mansion, the weapon hit the opponent with a single blow.
Gu Yunxi's whole body was trapped by an ominous premonition of horror.
It seems that apart from Feng Heng, those post officials are already ill-advised. No wonder, there are many crows on the plane trees in the courtyard.
Crows eat rot, and there must be a dead official somewhere in this courtyard!
It's a blessing in misfortune. Fortunately, there was no corpse hidden in this secret room, otherwise Gu Yunxi was really worried that he would do something terrible after getting out of the secret room, and then yelled and ran away in a hurry.
In addition, Gu Yunxi can be sure that the noise she just heard by the stove was also the movement made by the real Taishou trying to knock on the wall in order to be rescued.
The secret room leads directly to the kitchen, and the sound is reflected through the wall and transmitted to the side of the stove. It is not impossible.
In any case, those unidentified people in disguise must deal with Dongchang to make such a careful drop-off plan.
Governor, there is danger again
Gu Yunxi ran back.
Ascended the steps in one breath, climbed out of the entrance and lifted, and she saw Feng Taishou standing on the side of the organ wall, his sturdy right arm supporting the wall, and the indifferent old face holding a sordid expression.
Seeing Gu Yunxi, the lips under his beard twitched slightly, and his expression seemed sinister while smiling...
Leng Qingtang wandered anxiously. Nearly an hour, Gu Yunxi went out to find food and never came back, which inevitably caused him to worry.
He understands the little girl.
Even if she cooks big dishes, she won't have this long time in Su Ri Li. Afraid that something happened in the middle of the way, someone had an accident?
Ai Qing and Lu Rong were guarding the house at the moment, and there were two guards outside the door.
Seeing that the governor was so worried, Ai Qing said:
"Supervisor, I'll go out looking for the cloud girl!"
Leng Qingtang shook his head one after another, still walking:
"Finding one by one is the easiest way to get lost. Wait a minute! Let's go to see Feng Heng later, and we will tie up the soft guys."
From outside the door:
"It's annoying for the master to enter the house and pass the message, Master Feng asked the young man to invite Governor Leng to have dinner in the front yard dining hall."
"Wait here."
When I was young, Ichiban Wei came into the house to spread the word.
Leng Qingtang calmly squinted, Jun's face without fear (color). Served by Ai Qing
Putting on a neat dark green narrow-sleeved banquet gown, he led his men out of the room.
...
Taishou Mansion, Dining Hall
Taishou Feng was sitting in the vice seat, and his ruddy face was brightly lit by the lights in the room. And the facial features that he fell into at ease at this time always seemed to show (exposed) a trace of weirdness and cruelty (color).
Standing next to him were four government officials, with knives on their waists, their faces sinking like water, and their faces of different shapes did not show any expressions.
Seeing Leng Qingtang strode into the dining room with the support of Liangdantou and Liangfanwei, Feng Taishou's eagle-like eyes gleamed with a glint.
"Supervisor Leng, please come to your seat."
Standing up, Prefect Feng raised his right arm and took the imperial commission.
"Master Lau Fung, please."
After the greeting, the moment Leng Qingtang sat down in the main seat, the light from the end of his eyes quickly swept across the weapons carried by the four officials.
He faintly curled his lips, pretending to be unaware.
After Feng Taishou took a seat, his eyes lightly shifted, and he glanced at Ai Qing, who was standing beside the governor, with his back.
Seeing Leng Qingtang's Qingshui Liuyun Sword in his arms, he didn't notice that his jaw was lowered for a while, and he silently pulled up a dark sneer.
The two main guards of the East Factory and Fan Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, always vigilant for the four silent and cold servants on the opposite side.
At the dinner table, everyone was tacitly aware, each armed with weapons, and turning his face was just a matter of a moment!
The atmosphere became sharp and urgent. Although the two sides have not drawn out their weapons, they have secretly competed. Between the eyes facing each other and the eyes are looking at each other, it is a thrilling battle.
Leng Qingtang raised her eyes calmly, and through the half-open door, she looked far away at the drowsy curtain (color) outside the dining hall.
The moonlight loomed out and fell on a rough sycamore tree in the courtyard, casting a pale brilliance. The sycamore tree is tall and straight, and the dense branches stretch their teeth and claws in the gathering of the faint moonlight, making it even more weird and gloomy.
The lower jaw is lightly raised, and Leng Qingtang lifts his nose and can smell the restless and heavy and slaughter breath under the lonely night vault.
Junyi's face was stunned, his eyes widened sharply, and his vigorous expression turned full of fierceness.
"Master Feng, the Governor's apprentice Yun Guan'er... but is it in your hands?"
Taishou Feng stroked his beard with his hand, "haha" laughed a few times, and gestured to the servants around him.
One person came back after a short time out, and placed a neatly sliced ​​plate of three white cakes in the middle of the empty round table.
Leng Qingtang's wide-open phoenix eyes were startled, silently staring at the contents of the disc, and then his expression changed drastically, and the dark clouds on Wen Yu's face rolled, extremely dark.
The exquisite cakes on the plate are made by Yunxi! He knew that Feng Heng dared to present it in front of him in order to answer his questions provocatively.
"...Who are you?"
Leng Qingtang squinted, his faint gaze was quenched with anger and turned to Feng Taishou's blank face, and the unhurried questioning voice was a bit hoarse, and the tone was cold, like a deep pool frozen for thousands of years, horribly terrifying. :
"Why pretend to be the prefect of Qiling County and intercept this governor here?!"
Taishou Feng's eyes were firmly locked in Leng Qingtang's anger, and his plain eyes concealed his sharp edge:
"Did the governor forget? Eleven years ago, when the capital entered winter, what happened during that snowy night...?"
