Assassin peach does not change

Most of the houses in Xu Mansion have turned off the lights.

Tao Buhuan touched the edge of the stage, lay down on the stage close to the ground and listened for a long while, there was indeed a sound of wind from below.

She tapped the ground with her knuckles again, and the sound of the ground was clear and loud, so she knew that Jiang Youbi's guess was right, there was a secret room below.

Tao Buhuan paced the stage with his hands behind his back, wondering where the entrance to the stage would be.

Looking up at the square courtyard, the south, west and east sides of the stage should be the same, only the north side connected to the inner courtyard has not been seen.

So Tao Buhuan went around behind the wall of the stage, and when passing the narrow passage, Tao Buhuan felt something was wrong.

The wall doesn't look thick, but the narrow passage is a bit long.

Tao Buhuan touched the wall, only to realize that the wall is actually quite thick, because the light here has been poor, so it looks thinner.

Just like the same person who wears white clothes looks fat and black clothes looks thin.

It's a bit interesting, to actually do something like this on the wall of the inner house.The Xu Mansion has been renovated, and the repair may be the secret hidden under the stage.

Taobuhuan touched the wall to examine it carefully, and sure enough, she felt a bump in the lower right corner of the wall. She pressed down on the brick, but saw a small door pop out from the flat wall.There is a dark hole under the small door, and there is a stone step going down.

Taobuhuan also has excellent night vision, having been trained in the dark.

Even if you can't see things, you can get the location of living things by hearing and smell.

The secret room below is damp and overcast, and Tao Buchang only feels that the air inside is dull and exudes a musty smell.

After passing through the narrow passage, what I saw was a square stone chamber.

A wooden bed is placed in the stone room, and some hay is placed on the wooden bed.There was a square table next to the bed, and there were some moldy rice and meat on the square table.

Someone lived here, and not so long ago.

Tao Buhuan covered his nose with his hand, took out the torch he carried with him and blew it on, and found a muddy footprint on the ground.

I measured it with my hand, and it was a man's footprints. According to the walking distance, the man's height was more than six feet and eight inches.

There is an iron ring on the wall at the head of the bed, and an iron chain hangs from it.

It seems that this person is locked here, living in this dark secret room.

Tao Buhuan looked up at the top of the stone chamber, and found a long and narrow gap in the south.

She recalled that there was indeed a small ditch for drainage on the south side of the stage, and it seemed that this small gap, which looked like a gutter on the outside, was the man's vent.

It is conceivable that whenever a guest comes, the person imprisoned in the secret room can see the movement outside and hear the conversation outside through this gap.

These guests may never have imagined that when they were bargaining with Xu Sanniang and conducting private transactions here, there was actually someone hiding in a dark corner, who could clearly see their ugly faces.

The reason why Xu Sanniang specially set up the stage is firstly to imprison this person, secondly to cover up her voice to prevent this person from suddenly calling for help, and thirdly, it may be to hide a little bit of her thoughts—to let this person watch the mingling of cups outside. Know the faces of these people.

Who is imprisoned here?Where is he now?Why did Xu Sanniang imprison this person?

The cry of the cuckoo came from outside, and Tao Buhuan knew that there was no such bird in Yuezhou.

She quickly turned around and left the secret room, climbed up to the roof, and quietly left the Xu mansion, and met a person at the door.

This man was tall and thin, wearing a bamboo hat, his whole body was dry like a bamboo pole.

"Messenger, what wind brought you here?" Tao Buhuan Youzai Youzai asked.

The envoy is the person in charge of contacting Taobuhuan, with a low and hoarse voice: "Taobuhuan, your target is dead, why don't you go back to Maigulou to accept a new mission?"

Tao Buhuan walked in front of him with his back on his back, bent down and looked down at his lifeless face hidden under the bamboo hat, and said, "My mission is not over yet."

"Zhang Nian is dead," the envoy emphasized.

Tao Buhuan lifted the messenger's bamboo hat casually, "I said it's not over, but it's not over yet. Even if the landlord is in front of me, I will answer like this.

Besides—you are much more stupid than the landlord, if the landlord is here, he will definitely agree with me to stay and deal with the aftermath. "

The bamboo hat fell on the ground not far away, and the messenger heard that although the voice was still young, he was already a haggard man with burnt marks on his face, and his appearance was very ugly.

He walked around Taobuhuan and walked slowly towards the bamboo hat, bent down to pick up the bamboo hat, dusted off the dust, put it on again, straightened it, and said, "I'll go back and report to the landlord."

Tao Buhuan didn't care: "Please do it..."

The envoy didn't stay any longer and seemed to be leaving.

"Wait a minute..."

The envoy turned around, and saw an exquisite porcelain bottle smashed towards him.

He reached out and grabbed the porcelain bottle accurately, holding it in his hand and looking at it: "What is it?"

"Give it to the landlord, the landlord will make his own judgment."

The envoy put the things away in his bosom, and then asked, "Where is the bamboo token you carry with you?"

Tao Buhuan explained: "I accidentally lost it."

The envoy raised his eyes and looked at her: "Everyone in Maigulou knows that the bamboo tablet is your belonging, and seeing the bamboo tablet is like seeing you.

If it is picked up by someone, it may cause trouble. You'd better find it as soon as possible, otherwise you will go back and accept the crime yourself. "

Tao Buhuan suppressed her smile, and said coldly, "You don't have to worry about my affairs."

The envoy's eyes flickered, and a murderous intent emerged.He knew that Tao would always go his own way and never obey orders, but now he was really getting more and more disobedient.

Tao Buchang swayed behind him at this moment, and with a "Ceng—" a short dagger was placed on his neck, and the cold short dagger was pressed against his throat. will fall.

"When a person has the intention to kill, his body will become cold and his breathing will slow down. This is an instinctive reaction.

I can feel that you want to kill me, so I will do it first. This is a skill I learned on the first day of the assassin training in Maigulou, called the first strike is the best. "

"No one paid to kill me. If you kill me now, you are violating the rules of the bone building, and it will make the landlord unhappy."

The emissary said, "Don't think that just because the landlord likes you, you can do whatever you want. After all, the landlord is young, and he also needs to listen to the opinions of other elders."

Tao Buhuan snorted coldly and dropped the dagger.He took out the silk scarf and wiped his hands, and said without emotion: "You go, I don't want to cause trouble."

The envoy didn't want to entangle with her any more, and disappeared without a trace as soon as he flicked his cloak.

Tao Buhuan looked back at the quiet street and heard a few wild dogs barking.She closed her eyes and listened carefully, then suddenly started to run at a high speed, got into a dark alley with no one in it, and found an ugly dog ​​covered in sores among the rubbish.

The ugly dog ​​hissed and grinned at her, its tail stood up high, all the hair on its body stood up, and it let out a low whining sound, looking very scary.

But Tao Buchang didn't seem to be afraid at all, she said to the ugly dog: "I know you may not have had a full meal for several days, if you can help me find someone with the same taste as this silk handkerchief , I will reward you well."

The ugly dog ​​obviously didn't believe Tao Buhuan, seeing her approaching, he yelled and rushed towards her.

The originally quiet street suddenly erupted with tragic dog barking, but after barking a few times, it stopped.

Then a person and a dog came out of the empty alley, the person was handsome and handsome, a beautiful girl, the dog was dejected, covered in sores, hanging his head and sniffing around, as if he was leading the girl to find something.

Tao Buchang said: Fortunately, I gave the bamboo card to Jiang Youpan. I specially impregnated the bamboo card with spices. As long as Jiang Youpan still wears it, I will definitely be able to find her.

Arriving at a dilapidated residential house in the east of the city with air leaks on all sides, Tao Buchang repeated his old tricks, flying directly to the eaves to uncover the tiles, and glimpsed the scene below.

There was a man in the room wearing a dark water transportation official robe with a big word "油" embroidered on his chest. It seemed that he was dressed as a small yamen servant in charge of water transportation.

This water transport is drinking, and there is a rough porcelain tea bowl on the other side of the wooden table. It seems that there is another person sitting opposite the water transport.

But Tao Buhuan could only see the man's embroidered sleeves, but not his face.

Jiang Youpan was in the corner next to the canal. She was tied up and a rag was stuffed in her mouth.Although still dizzy, it seems that she should be fine for the time being.

Tao Buhuan rolled up his sleeves and planned to go down to save others.

Jiang Youpan had been pretending to be dizzy from the very beginning, she was eavesdropping on the conversation between these two people in the room.

Just when he heard the important point, he heard the sound of cracking tiles from above his head, and then a person fell from the sky. This person was wearing a black suit with a slender and tall figure.

She first knocked Cao Yun unconscious from behind with a sharp knife in her hand, then turned around and kicked the person sitting opposite Song Cao Yun.

The man flew out of the house, lying on the ground, yelling in pain, but no longer had the strength to get up and escape.

Tao Buchang untied Jiang Youpan unhurriedly, patted her face and called out, "Master Jiang, Master Jiang, are you safe and sound? Have you ever bumped your head?"

Jiang Yousi opened his eyes helplessly and glanced at her: "The one kicked out by you is the fake Xu Sanniang from the Xu Mansion. She was talking about selling private salt with Song Caoyun who was stunned by you in front of her. Interrupted."

Tao did not remove the straw from her hair for her, and patted the dust off her body: "You don't appreciate me for saving your life, but you blame me for interrupting your eavesdropping. You don't know good from bad, I won't come to rescue you from now on."

Jiang Youpan stood up and dusted himself off, and then went to check the bamboo card hanging on his waist. Seeing that the bamboo card was still there, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I knew you would come, so I wasn't afraid."
