"How many evil things has the Wu family done?"
After a long silence, Su Wei finally spoke. After reading the small booklet, he finally understood what "hell is empty and the devil is on earth" meant.
It turns out that humans are sometimes the most terrifying animals.
"We must trace the origins and whereabouts of these women."
Ye Xuwen had also packed up at this time because he thought of Qiu Ci's grief and anger, and wondered why people in this world always wanted to hurt women.
"None of those who abused women can be let off. Since the Wu family dares to run such an inhumane business, they must have customers who are worse than beasts."
Although there was no detailed record in the booklet, it could be seen from clues that the people who abused the girls were not the same person.
Considering what Master Wu had said before, it was obvious that kidnapping women for the enjoyment of high-ranking officials was a huge way for the Wu family to make money.
Now, an important link in this huge chain of interests has been discovered, but no one else can be let go!
After another careful search of the obscene room, they found nothing of value except the booklet, so everyone hurried to the next room.
Although these people have strong mental qualities, they will still be more or less affected by their physical nature in that kind of house, so it is better to leave as soon as possible.
But what Ye Xuwen and his friends didn't expect was that they were attacked as soon as they entered the passage leading to the next place!
It was still the same dense rain of arrows as before, but the difference this time was that the arrowheads were shining with a green light - "Be careful, the arrows are poisoned."
The most sharp-eyed guard shouted to remind everyone, and then cut off a long arrow that was flying towards his face with a knife.
Ye Xuwen was engaged in another round of hard fighting, while Feng Xiyun was directing his men to dig at the wall!
That’s right, it’s just scratching the wall!
This story begins when they entered the passage. This time the passage was as narrow as the previous one, only allowing two people to pass side by side.
Just after Feng Xiyun and others entered the passage, the torches in the guards' hands burned out, and the passage was temporarily plunged into darkness.
Just as the guard took out the tinder to relight the torch, "little stars" gradually lit up in the darkness, and soon the passage was as bright as day.
"This Wu family is really generous."
Feng Xiyun went to the wall to check the little stars that lit up, and found that they were actually luminous pearls of different sizes, sparsely and sporadically embedded in the wall but in their own style, becoming a unique lighting fixture.
For an ordinary family, being able to afford a night pearl for lighting is already very good. But the Wu family can actually use so many night pearls to illuminate a small passage. It has to be said that it is a big deal.
"Young Prince, shall we continue to move forward?"
Seeing Feng Xiyun standing in the corridor studying the night pearl on the wall and refusing to leave, the guard had no choice but to go up and ask him.
"Don't leave yet. Pick some of the night-shining pearls off this wall. Pick the big ones, one for each of you. Who needs a torch?"
Feng Xiyun gave the order happily. Although the guards felt a little speechless, as it was not good for a young prince to behave so stingy; but on second thought, they felt that Feng Xiyun's idea was really good. The night pearl was much more stable than a torch, and who knew how far they had to go.
So, when Su Weitunan and the others were rummaging through the drawers in the small yellow house, Feng Xiyun and his guards were picking at the night pearls on the wall.
By the time Ye Xuwen led his team into the spacious passage on his side, Feng Xiyun had already happily picked off more than a dozen night-shining pearls the size of a child's fist, and each of them was ready to move on to the next room.
But what Feng Xiyun didn't know was that the causes he created in the small passage over there and the bitter fruits he reaped had all fallen on Ye Xuwen's side, and Ye Xuwen and the others had to bear the consequences.
In the first passage, because he touched the gold, Ye Xuwen and his companions were shot by a rain of arrows; in the second passage, because he took out the night pearl, Ye Xuwen and his companions were shot by a rain of poisoned arrows...
All I can say is that fortunately no one knows the connection yet.
Ye Xuwen and the others fought hard and finally passed through the second passage without anyone getting hurt and entered the third room.
This room is very similar to the first one, it is simply a warehouse, where antiques, calligraphy and paintings, antique vases and the like are stored.
Professional Tu Nan roughly estimated the value of this thing and roughly judged that it was worth several million taels of silver.
"The Wu family is very wealthy."
Su Wei's tone was sarcastic. Although the Wu family was doing legitimate business on the surface, who knew what kind of business these things were obtained from?
They searched through all the drawers and cabinets again, but there seemed to be nothing valuable in this room. There was not even a brochure like in the previous room. It seemed to be just a simple warehouse.
"Let's keep going. We haven't seen any trace of the two princesses yet, and we don't know where they are."
Ye Xuwen called out to Su Wei and Tu Nan who were looking at a painting. He wanted to move forward quickly so that he could reach Feng Ming and Feng Yuyun earlier and then search slowly.
However, Su Wei and Tu Nan, the two men who had appeared extremely anxious before, seemed not to have heard Ye Xuwen's words at this moment, and were concentrating on studying the painting in front of them.
Seeing that the two did not respond, Ye Xuwen walked over to take a look. It was indeed a magical painting. He could vaguely make out the huge buildings as big as clouds and the little people in strange clothes. He didn't know how to describe the rest.
What Ye Xuwen couldn't understand, Su Wei was indeed very familiar with. It was a vivid picture of a future city!
There are towering skyscrapers, crisscrossing roads, and cars flying high and low... Although it is not the scene of the world before he traveled through time, he has accepted science fiction as popular science since he was a child, so he has no sense of disobedience in accepting it.
Tu Nan, who should have been unable to understand these things like Ye Xuwen, has been obsessed with understanding the scenes of the world that Feng Ming came from. He has also read many atlases and picture albums introducing modern architecture, and has also read science fiction novels written by modern people.
So although it was a little difficult for him to accept, he quickly realized what scene the painting described.
Similarly, he quickly realized that this painting obviously should not appear in their era.
At the bottom of the painting, there is a line of handwriting that was obviously added recently. Why do I say that? Because it is written in English.
Su Wei whispered to Tunan, "This was written by Fengming. Let's move on and be careful!"
