Chapter 266 Night Passage
The more Fan Fengze thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. Otherwise, why would Mo Yunzhu come to Chen State?
If she poisons him and Fan Mingzhu, she can make a lot of money. Does she have a motive?
No, Mo Yunzhu can't detoxify, she can only relieve pain. Although Fan Mingzhu's face was bruised, she didn't feel any pain, but she couldn't face others. Mo Yunzhu probably couldn't help them.
That would be an injustice to her, but deep down he felt that it was a bit strange that Mo Yunzhu would come to Chen State.
But when I think of the man in black with the wooden mask that night, the flame armband, and the attack from Biancheng, which was too far away from Qingyun, could it really be someone on my side who did it?
Fan Fengze thought about it over and over but couldn't figure it out. Finally, he thought of Uncle Sun. The wooden man in black didn't ask a single question and just wiped Uncle Sun's neck. He must have known Uncle Sun.
Uncle Sun is Zhuo Hongli's man, so the wooden masked man must be Zhuo Hongli's enemy, otherwise how could he act so decisively and ruthlessly.
So as soon as he knew Zhuo Hongli had returned, he immediately sent someone to deliver the message.
Mo Yunzhu and the other two didn't know that Zhuo Hongli already knew that Uncle Sun was dead. Even if he knew, it would be useless because there was no evidence.
People like this do a lot of bad things, so naturally they have a lot of enemies.
At this moment, Mo Yunzhu, Yuan Qing and Chang Teng were eating noodles at a night snack stall on the street.
The shops have been closed, but some people who run small stalls have set up night snack stalls on the street.
At this time, it was still more than an hour before midnight, so there weren't many people. The stall owner said that usually midnight is the time when many people come.
The three of them didn't say much at the stall. After all, it was not very safe. After eating the noodles, they walked back because they needed to digest the food.
To Mo Yunzhu's left is Yuan Qing, and behind her is Chang Teng, so it's very convenient for them to talk.
"Xu Haoqin? He wants to see me?" Mo Yunzhu was a little surprised after hearing what Chang Teng said.
"Well, it should be Ji Xingyun who told him about the eldest lady. He seemed to admire her very much." Chang Teng smiled.
"He is Zhuo Yu's friend, there shouldn't be any problem with his character." Mo Yunzhu raised her eyebrows.
"Miss, he is a killer. I wonder if he is a killer trained by Master Zhuo. I heard that Wanyao Pavilion has killers, and there are especially many in Chen State. It is the base camp."
"Even if he is a killer, he is not Zhuo Hongli's killer. And he said he wanted to see me, which means he is not Zhuo Yu's subordinate. We are equal. Otherwise, where does he get the courage?"
Mo Yunzhu thought that Xu Haoqin made her a little curious.
Chang Teng was stunned for a moment, then he immediately understood, and thought to himself why he was so stupid. Which subordinate would dare to bypass his master to meet his master's friend? It's not the time for his master to suffer.
"Go see Ji Xingyun tomorrow when you're free. Where does he live?" Mo Yunzhu asked Chang Qing.
Chang Teng immediately said, "He has already bought the Renshan Clinic. It's quite big, about half an hour away from the Wanyao Pavilion. There are a lot of people there. But there are other clinics. I heard from Young Master Ji that those clinics were in chaos at first, and it was Xu Haoqin who helped them sort it out. So Young Master Ji is especially grateful to Young Master Zhuo for introducing Young Master Xu to him."
"Hey, he looks like a capable person." Mo Yunzhu said with a smile, "Let's go and see him tomorrow."
When the three of them returned to Wanyao Pavilion, Mo Yunzhu realized that Zhuo Hongli had not returned yet. After asking Butler Lu, she learned that Zhuo Hongli had gone to the Fan family.
She thought that Third Young Master Fan Yuan was really helpful as he passed the news to Fan Fengze so quickly.
It seemed that it wouldn't be long before she would be able to meet the two siblings who had brought this upon themselves.
After returning to Xueling Pavilion and the lobby, I found that Zhuo Yu from the neighboring Xueyu Pavilion had not returned yet.
The servants and maids boiled and fetched water for Mo Yunzhu to bathe and change clothes. They took very good care of her.
But Mo Yunzhu was not used to it, so after a quick cleanup, she let them go to rest.
With an oil lamp burning in her room, she began to write letters to King Lan and her family to let them know she was safe.
If we use the Wanyao Pavilion's express horse to deliver the letter, it will only take about ten days. If we use a falcon, it will be even faster, arriving in three days. However, since it is not an urgent matter, we are reluctant to use a falcon, after all, a falcon is too precious.
After writing the letter, I sealed it with wax, blew out the light and went to bed.
But as she lay down on the bed, her foot accidentally kicked the bed board inside, and she realized that the sound was wrong.
She felt a little goosebumps for a moment and immediately got up to light the light again.
I climbed into the bed and took a closer look, and found a slightly raised circle behind the four corners of the inner head, about the size of a one-yuan coin.
If you don't look carefully, you really can't see it, and generally people don't look at the bedposts in this way, but if you touch it, you can feel it.
Mo Yunzhu didn't want to fall, so she climbed onto the head of the bed. Fortunately, the wood of the bed was solid and could bear her weight.
Then she pressed on the circle.
As soon as I pressed it, I heard a slight clicking sound, and then the entire inner bed board fell back very gently, revealing the dark area inside.
Mo Yunzhu went downstairs to get the oil lamp, then climbed back onto the bed to look inside.
This is a sloped passage. If something happens outside, you can hide in it without being noticed.
It's very dark inside, I don't know where it leads?
Mo Yunzhu was a skilled and courageous person. She put on black clothes, carried an oil lamp, lay down, and slowly slid down the slope.
Soon they came into contact with the cold ground. The slope was about two meters deep and then it became flat below. Mo Yunzhu raised the oil lamp and found that there was indeed a passage.
She sat up and saw that the passage was just wide enough for her to bend over and get out.
After thinking about it for a while, she decided to explore a bit and see if the oil lamp had changed in size, which meant there was oxygen inside, which made her feel relieved.
It was really dark in the secret passage, with no light at all ahead. Mo Yunzhu had to raise the hand holding the oil lamp high to see clearly, while the other hand was also holding a silver needle.
The winding passage was actually not long, and we soon entered a wider and higher passage.
This time Mo Yunzhu was shocked, because the passage was very long, and the further she walked, the more shocking it became. After walking a certain distance, she would find a fork in the road. The forks were all narrow passages that curved in, and then she would see the same sloping passage.
Mo Yunzhu was afraid of getting lost, so she took out a dagger and marked the passage, then continued forward.
More than an hour later, Mo Yunzhu returned to her bed and closed the bed board.
She walked to the table, put down the oil lamp, poured herself some cool water, drank a glass, and then sat down.
She didn't expect this passage to be so awesome. It ran through the entire Wanyao Pavilion, whether it was the shop in the front or the large courtyards in the back. Each branch led to a courtyard, which should be the owner's room.
Now this is an escape route! Of course, you can also go to various courtyards without knowing it.
I wonder if Zhuo Hongli dug it out after buying this place, or if this house already had the tunnel?
But no matter what, she felt that Zhuo Hongli should be very clear that with his temper and the many bad things he had done, the escape tunnel was his safest guarantee.
So, does Zhuo Yu know?
