Siheyuan: I have a small world

"Court No. 28!"

After dinner in the afternoon, Wang Yu strolled towards Shizi Hutong in Xicheng District.

He walked quickly and arrived at Shizi Alley in less than half an hour.

Fortunately, it was night now and there were far fewer people on the street, so I didn't encounter similar questioning from the enthusiastic Aunt Chaoyang.

Nowadays, the aunts in alleys in Sijiu City are very wary of outsiders.

After Wang Yu found Shizi Hutong, he started looking for Courtyard No. 28 by following the house numbers.

After a while, he saw the house number of Courtyard No. 28 deep in the alley.

Wang Yu immediately wanted to bang the door knocker and notify Old Man Jin in the courtyard to open the door.

But just as his right hand was about to touch the door knocker, he suddenly stopped.

A thoughtful look appeared on Wang Yu's face.

Finally, he put down his right hand and looked around the alley. There was no one there, so he took out a black hood from the space and put it on.

Then, using strength on his feet, he jumped up the wall in a few steps and entered the courtyard. Through the hanging flower door, he walked through the front courtyard where the reverse house was and came to the backyard.

At this time, the main room in the backyard was lit with lights and the door was not closed. From a distance, Wang Yu saw an old man in a robe sitting on top, facing the door. If there was any movement outside the door, the old man could see it at once.

At this time, the old man in the robe was closing his eyes and concentrating, with a jade string coiled in his left hand. I guess this is the Lord Jin mentioned in Jin Ping's mouth.

Wang Yu did not alarm Lord Jin, but carefully checked the front and back yards. After making sure there were no outsiders, he walked directly towards the main room where the main house was.

Tatata!

Wang Yu no longer hid his traces, and the sound of footsteps alerted Mr. Jin who was in the house with his eyes closed to relax.

Jin Ye stopped the jade string he was turning in his hand, opened his eyes, and looked at Wang Yu who had taken off his hood and walked into the house with an indifferent expression.

"My friend, please sit down. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Jin Ye was very boss-like and asked Wang Yu to sit on the chair on the other side, but there was no follow-up such as serving tea.

This is not a normal visit. If you pour tea, they may not dare to drink it, so let’s not waste that emotion and time.

"Junior Wang Yu, I have met Mr. Jin. I believe Jin Ping has already given you a message. Let's not talk nonsense. How much jade do you have and how much gold do you need? Let me figure out whether it is suitable."

Wang Yu was not polite to him. After sitting down, he turned to look at Old Man Jin and asked.

"My little friend is a cheerful person, just like your father Wang Bao, the Heart-Breaking Palm, when he was young, he was also impatient!

Since we are descendants of acquaintances, I will not talk nonsense. I have thousands of kilograms of various jade products, raw stone materials, and rare stones. According to the previous price, at least it would be hard to buy for a thousand gold.

But now I also know that it is difficult to eat, and I can't sell it at a high price at all. Just give me twenty large yellow croakers and a hundred small yellow croakers. It would be better if I have foreign currency, which saves me having to exchange gold for foreign currency when I go out. "

Mr. Jin first praised Wang Yu, then clicked on his status, and then told him the amount of gold he wanted to exchange for.

After hearing what Mr. Jin said, Wang Yu raised his eyebrows. He didn't say anything about the amount of gold behind him. Instead, he was a little curious about what Old Man Jin had said.

"Mr. Jin knows my father?" Wang Yu also heard his father mention that he had a nickname of 'Heart-Breaking Palm' when he was in the world. But more than ten years later, he didn't expect anyone to still remember it.

"Haha, you can tell your father when you go home and mention Mr. Jin from Jin Yutang." Mr. Jin replied in a very convincing manner, and then changed the topic to jade, "Little friend, since we are acquaintances, Man, I trust the reputation of your Wang family, and I guarantee you won’t lose money at that price.”

Having said this, Mr. Jin sighed and glanced at the five-meter-high house in front of him with a look of reluctance.

Looking at Wang Yu, he continued: "My little friend, my family used to be in the jade business. Jin Ping should have mentioned it to you. If it were in the past, the jade I sold you would not have included thousands of large and small yellow croakers. If I ignore you, now... I can only sell it at a low price."

Mr. Jin shook his head, stood up and said, "Let's go, I will take you to see my treasures."

Wang Yu stood up and followed Master Jin to the treasure house. He asked him with great interest: "Master Jin, aren't you afraid that I will take advantage of my wealth?"

Unexpectedly, Lord Jin glanced at him and said, "Your father is not short of money. Of course, if that son with the righteous heart-shattering palm does all kinds of evil for these few taels of silver, then I will admit it."

"Uh!"

This old man raised his father so high that Wang Yu didn't know how to respond.

I don’t know if the old man really admires his father, or if he is irritating him with these words.

I could only smile awkwardly, "It seems like you keep talking about how awesome my dad is, but you can rest assured that as long as the goods are good, the amount you mentioned is no problem. If you want foreign currency, it's no problem. I also have a lot on hand. US dollars, pounds, Hong Kong dollars, Japanese yen, you can exchange whatever you want."

At this point, Wang Yu had to thank the black market boss and the basement for helping him contribute these gold, silver, treasures and foreign currencies.

After hearing Wang Yu's reply, Old Man Jin did not respond, but after a while, he said with emotion.

"Your father is a man of great wisdom and foolishness. Even you, his son, have never revealed his past glory in detail. Maybe he is right. He quit the world in advance to clear his name and live an ordinary life.

Not like an old man, no matter how rich he is, he will still become a lost dog!

Haha, if Jin Ping hadn't mentioned that you wanted to buy the jade in my hand, and the old man had some tricks up his sleeve, he might not have been able to find out that your father was the former "Heart-Breaking Palm" King Bao. This means that your father buried himself. Very deep.

Okay, come with me to visit my treasure house. This is the belief that has allowed me to stay alone in Sijiu City until now.

Although Jin Yutang can no longer be opened, leaving it to your family can be regarded as a favor to your father, although your father never recognized this favor. "

At this time, Lord Jin had already brought Wang Yu to the west wing, which is a place where memorial tablets are enshrined.

Judging from the ashes in the incense burner, sacrifices should be made continuously every day.

I saw Lord Jin taking the ancestral card from the center of the big table in the middle of the hall, and Wang Yu looked at him with surprise.

Then handed it to Wang Yu.

"My little friend, you are very strong. Help me break open the Ancestral Card. It is two pieces of wood put together. Inside is the iron key to the treasure house."

Wang Yu suddenly realized that under the guidance of Lord Jin, he opened the ancestral card and found that there were indeed two hexagonal iron keys embedded in the middle.

Lord Jin asked Wang Yu to hand him two iron keys.

Then, under Wang Yu's surprised gaze, Jin Ye inserted it into an inconspicuous hole in the corner of the wall and twisted it to the left.

Then he ran to the corner of the wall on the other side, squatted down, inserted another hexagonal iron key into an inconspicuous little hole, and twisted it to the right.

Then he stood up and pressed the corner of a brick on the back wall, and the brick was pushed in diagonally. He then pressed the corner of another brick half a meter away, and the brick was pushed in diagonally.

Immediately afterwards...

"Kakaka!"

A slight sound of mechanism activation that could not be heard by ordinary people reached Wang Yu's ears.

Wang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the side between the two bricks. The half-person-high wall gradually retracted toward the left, revealing a downward secret passage.

However, Wang Yu, who witnessed the whole process of Jin Ye opening the secret passage, recalled the entire opening process and found that the opening process of the secret passage was really cleverly designed.

Wang Yu was not surprised that Jin Ye allowed him to witness the opening process.

Maybe it's because Jin Ye is about to go abroad. Given his age, he has no chance to come back again, so he doesn't mind letting Wang Yu see it.

"How about it? The design of my treasure house mechanism is pretty good, haha." Lord Jin said with a proud smile when he saw Wang Yu staring at the secret passage and looking at it non-stop.

"It's indeed good. This mechanism is very cleverly designed." Seeing that the old man finally no longer looked lifeless, Wang Yu smiled happily and complimented him knowingly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Wang Yu finished speaking, Jin Ye waved to him, "Come here, I'll teach you how to open it. I'll use it here for you in the future. Don't open it wrong, otherwise the mechanism will be scrapped and the operation will be incorrect. You can kill everyone."

Wang Yu:? ? ?

"For me to use?" Wang Yu asked back.

"Otherwise, old man, after I go abroad, this house will probably be taken over by the government. Instead of doing this, I might as well give it to you. After all, it is also a small courtyard with two entrances in the root of the imperial city. When this transaction is successful, what will happen to this courtyard? It’s up to you.”

Then, Lord Jin didn't care whether Wang Yu accepted it or not, and directly introduced him step by step, the steps and precautions for opening the treasure house.

After a while, Wang Yu was speechless after listening to Jin Ye's introduction.

Unexpectedly, there are requirements for the use of the two hexagonal iron keys.

The key on the left must be turned left, and the key on the right must be turned right. Of course, both keys can be turned left and right and can open the secret passage door normally.

However, once you make a wrong step, the mechanism defense will be activated. When you enter the secret passage, once you step on the activated stone slab, you will be stabbed into a bloody gourd by the steel nails placed at the entrance.

Do you think it’s just a mechanism?

There are mechanisms at every step. In short, there are several ways to turn the key and several ways to trigger the trap. It can be said that Lord Jin put a lot of thought into arranging the defense of this treasure house.

One wrong step is a wrong step!

soon.

Lord Jin lit a lantern and led the way. Wang Yu followed, and an old man and a young man walked down the steps.

Not to mention, when Wang Yu saw this situation, he felt quite mysterious like a treasure hunter.

He was also a little curious about such a well-defended treasure house!
