Chapter 134: The Secret Chamber at the Bottom of the Lake

After everything was arranged, he looked down at the person sitting on the ground and asked, "Who are you?"

Rong Jianan raised his head when he heard the voice.

The red mole at the end of his eye reminded Wang Yu of who this person was. It was Master Yue from Mingyue Pavilion. Although he hadn't seen him for many years, Wang Yu still recognized him. "Master Yue?"

Rong Jianan looked up at the person who was speaking. He didn't expect that someone here knew him. However, he didn't know this person, so he lowered his head again.

He was not Master Yue nor Concubine Yue. He was Rong Jianan, the name his father gave him. Thinking of this and looking at the person lying on the ground, he finally burst into tears. He had avenged his father, mother, brothers and sisters.

Wang Yu didn't know why he was here, nor why he was crying, but when he saw the dagger in his hand, he was afraid that he had killed Cao Mengxue, so he had him detained and questioned later.

After all the people in the government office were imprisoned in the prison, he instructed the people from the Dali Temple to take people to arrest the people on the list one by one. Only then did Wang Yu have time to ask Master Yue.

At this moment, Rong Jianan's emotions have stabilized. He has avenged his great hatred and no longer cares about life or death. He answers whatever Wang Yu asks.

Only then did I know that he was Rong Jianan, the younger brother of the Dingzhou Tongzhi family, who survived the fire incident ten years ago.

Ten years ago, he wanted to play and stayed at his grandparents' house for a night. He escaped a disaster, but when he returned in the morning, he saw that his house had been burned to ashes. His hands and feet were shaking. He gritted his teeth and stood up. When he was about to go in to look for someone, he heard two people talking.

"I don't know how this family offended Lord Cao and was silenced."

"Hurry up and do it. There's still a little boy in their family that we haven't found. Find him quickly, otherwise how will we report to the adults when we get back?"

He was only fifteen years old at that time. He felt like he was struck by lightning when he heard this. He covered his mouth to prevent himself from crying out and suppressed the grief in his heart. He knew that if he went in now, he would be walking into a trap and could only hide from place to place. He even didn't dare to go to his grandparents' house for fear of implicating them and fearing that someone was waiting for him there.

When he had used up all the money he had, he had no choice but to beg everywhere. He wanted to go to the provincial capital to file a complaint against the Dingzhou prefect for his disregard for human life. However, before he arrived at the provincial capital, he was deceived and sold. He was then transferred to Shangyong Prefecture and then to Mingyue Pavilion.

At that time, he survived by relying on the belief of revenge for his parents. He practiced hard to play the piano and became the top performer in Mingyue Pavilion. Later, he met a wealthy businessman who was willing to take him to Huaining.

At that time, he thought that he would have the opportunity to report to the prefectural government after going to Huaining, so he overcame all difficulties and left with the rich businessman. However, he did not expect that the rich businessman who bought him back was just a musical artist he kept, and he performed everywhere like other singing girls to please officials.

He went on like this for a few years. One day, he heard that the new prefect of Huaining was arranging a banquet and needed someone who could play the piano. The rich businessman paid money to arrange for him to go. His intention was to please the new prefect so that he could leave a name with him and make it easier for him to do things in the future.

What Rong Jianan didn't expect was that the man who killed his entire family that day actually became the prefect in just a few years. He was so angry that he wanted to kill him, but he could only keep telling himself not to be reckless and to find an opportunity later.

Fortunately, he was a boy and his mother didn't let him go out often, so Cao Mengxue didn't know him. He had only seen him from a distance a few times when he was in Dingzhou.

Later, his piano skills improved and he was asked to play the piano more and more often. Finally, he was sent to Cao Mengxue by a wealthy businessman to be a concubine. He had planned to take advantage of him after getting to know him, but he accidentally heard what he had done. He thought that his family might have been wiped out because his father knew about these things.

After that, he lay dormant, trying his best to please Cao Mengxue, make him trust him, and find evidence of his guilt. Today, knowing that he had nowhere to escape, he ended his life with his own hands.

A story spanning more than ten years. Wang Yu looked at the person opposite him who was calmly telling the story. This person was only fifteen years old at the time. A young man experienced the death of his parents, escaped, was sold, became a concubine, and hypocritically flattered in front of his enemies. How much perseverance did he have to persist until now? It is impossible to say that he is not pitiful.

Wang Yu was silent for a long time and poured a glass of water for Rong Jianan.

"What are you going to do next?"

Rong Jianan raised his head. What was his future? He had killed someone, and she was also Cao Mengxue's concubine. If she wasn't beheaded, she would be exiled.

Wang Yu understood what he meant. It would be easy for him to save this person, but he didn't know whether Rong Jianan was willing to let him do so.

"Don't worry, there is no such person as you in the Cao Mansion. Cao Mengxue committed suicide out of shame for the court. There is no Master Yue in this world, only Rong Jianan. You can live your own life."

Rong Jianan's eyes suddenly turned red. Wang Yu said that he could be Rong Jianan again. He felt a little helpless after hearing that. He didn't know what else he could do or what kind of life he could have. He had been relying on the belief of revenge for his parents to persist until now all these years. He didn't know what to do next.

"Your parents definitely want you to live well. If you really have nowhere to go, just follow me first."

Wang Yu was afraid that this person would not be able to survive without faith.

Rong Jianan thought of his parents, who had been so kind to him when he was a child, and the smiling faces of his brothers and sisters in his memory, and tears came to his eyes.

Wang Yu didn't disturb him. After he stopped crying, he asked him if he was willing.

Rong Jianan calmed down and said, "Sir, I know where the evidence of Cao Mengxue's crime is. I will take you there."

Wang Yuzheng had people collecting evidence at the government office, but there had been no progress so far. Upon hearing what he said, he quickly stood up and called Song Xu.

Song Xu has also been interrogating Cao Mengxue's people, but no one knows where the evidence is. In Song Xu's opinion, other people in the court must be involved, but all the clues and evidence stopped with Cao Mengxue.

But now the concubine said that he knew, which Song Xu could not have imagined. At that time, Wang Yu locked him up alone, thinking that it was because he killed Cao Mengxue.

The place where the evidence was hidden was beyond anyone's imagination. It was in the rockery in the garden lake. There was a path leading to an underground secret room. Wang Yu and others lit the lights and walked down.

Rong Jianan opened the stone door of the secret room and said, "I spent a long time searching for this place."

In the past few years, he has been carefully investigating evidence of Cao Mengxue's crimes in the government office. He knows that Cao Mengxue would come here in the middle of the night every once in a while. He found out after following him several times.

Several people followed Rong Jianan into the secret room, which was built at the bottom of the lake. Inside were a large amount of gold, silver, treasures, calligraphy and paintings, as well as silver ingots cast in the Qinghe County Villa. Boxes of them were piled up into a small mountain, which was quite spectacular.

Meng Yu looked at the boxes he had seen before and said, "So they've all been shipped here. I wonder how greedy this person is to ask for so much money."

Wang Yu shook his head. Corrupt officials are no longer greedy for money, but a sense of satisfaction.
