Chapter 203 Full Takeover
The sound of swords clashing rang in her ears, and Wenwan's heartbeat was as thunderous as a war drum.
She didn't have time to think and quickly slipped into the study.
The furnishings in the study were simple and looked as rough as Shen Yu.
But the seemingly chaotic arrangement actually has traces to follow, and is actually arranged according to the method of compass.
Wen Wan's heart skipped a beat and her throat felt a little tight.
"Have you been researching grave-hunting these days?"
Could it be that the Cangqi secret box we are looking for this time is also related to the ancient tomb?
After thinking about it carefully, she felt it was impossible.
He knew very well that she was good at finding graves. If it was really just related to the cemetery, even if he was unwilling to take her on the risk, discussing it with her would not affect anything.
Unless, he arranged the furnishings in the house according to the compass, not to study this, but to leave her a clue.
Thinking of this, Wen Wan looked at the furnishings of the house and had an idea.
This is a very basic Bagua formation. According to calculations, the center of the formation should be...
She walked straight to the window, facing outside, squatted down, and began to grope at the base of the wall.
"Click"
With a slight sound, the secret compartment in the ground opened.
The box contained a complete blueprint for a repeating crossbow, as well as the several repeating crossbow parts that had been found.
Next to the parts, there was a letter.
Wen Wan picked up the letter and felt a chill in her heart.
There were only a few words in the letter. If Wen Wan found this secret compartment, it would mean that something had happened in the Shen Mansion.
The Shen Mansion's doormen are dwindling, and in his absence, if anyone wants to deal with the Shen Mansion, they will definitely start with Prince Anding.
Once Prince Anding is controlled, both the Prince's Mansion and the Shen Mansion will be in danger.
"Xiao Wan, the Shen family is entrusted to you."
At the end of the letter, he just said this dryly.
There were no heartfelt words when entrusting the orphan to someone else, nor was there any expression of gratitude after the task was accomplished.
"Oh, this confirms that I won't give up and abandon your family!"
Her brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and she put her things away and stood up.
But she was not in a hurry to leave, but began to carefully check other places in the study.
Fortunately, no signs of being framed were found in the study.
She breathed a sigh of relief, then turned and walked out the door.
*
At the door, Agui stood alone, blocking the way for ten thousand men, and he single-handedly blocked several guards.
"Stop it!"
Wen Wan roared softly and took out the pure gold token left by Shen Yu from her arms.
When the guards saw the token, they were shocked and immediately stopped besieging Agui.
Perhaps the token had brought too much of a shock to them, and they looked at Wen Wan as if she were a ghost.
"How can you have the Patriarch's Order?"
"How did you get this token?"
Even Agui couldn't help but be stunned, "Miss Xiaowan, the general even gave you this?"
"So, this isn't a token used to withdraw money from the Shen family's business, but rather the Shen family's Patriarch's token?"
Wen Wan was so angry that she wanted to laugh. What a bastard! He even said that she lied without blinking. It turned out that he was the one who was best at bluffing.
As a member of the Nuo family, he gave it to her as he pleased, and he also gave the Patriarch's Order, which symbolized the highest power in the Shen family, to her as he pleased.
He really thinks highly of her!
She asked him why he was so generous, not only allowing her to leave but also giving her endless money.
It turns out that all this silver and money are bait for fishing, and she is the fish that has been hooked!
He was quite calculating. Knowing that she was greedy for money, he only mentioned that the token could be used to withdraw money, but he never mentioned that the token could not only be used to withdraw money, but could also mobilize all the power of the Shen family!
Wen Wan was so angry that her teeth were itching, but now that Prince Anding was in trouble and the old lady was in a coma, she really couldn't just ignore it.
She sighed, "With your general's ability, can I really steal this token from her crotch?"
The general's token is hidden in his crotch?
The guards and Agui were frightened by her blunt description.
Can they listen to such words?
Agui looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, and thought to himself that Miss Xiaowan was very angry, and the general's future was worrying.
Wen Wan put the token away with a serious face and then controlled her emotions.
"Alright, I think you guys are people the general can trust. You guarded the study very well, at least no one tampered with it."
After a pause, she ordered, "From now on, I will only recognize you five. No one else can set foot in the study."
"If the crisis in the Shen Mansion is over, I will have the general reward you according to your merits. But if anything goes wrong here in the study, the five of you, along with your families, will surely die before us."
After a slight hesitation, the guards bowed in response.
Wen Wan led Agui to the old lady's yard again.
*
The old lady usually likes to worship Buddha, and the yard is filled with a slight smell of incense.
At this moment, the yard was packed with people.
Once the old lady fell, the general's mansion lost its backbone.
Mistress Zhao fell seriously ill after being frightened at the Meng Mansion last time, and her health has just improved in the past few days.
She stood trembling beside the old lady's bed, her face pale, not much better than the old lady lying on the bed.
As soon as Wen Wan entered the room, she saw a group of old, weak and sick people in the house, and her temples began to ache.
Shen Yu, ah Shen Yu, he really left her a mess.
She cleared her throat and called out, "Manager Zhang."
Manager Zhang is the elder in the mansion, and he is in charge of everything in the mansion.
Logically, it should be the mistress who gives him orders, but Wen Wan doesn't care about the rules at this moment.
Zhang Zongguan looked over in confusion, "Madam Wan, what's going on..."
Wen Wan directly took out the Patriarch's Order and said in a cold voice, "Before the general left, he gave me the Patriarch's Order, authorizing me to handle the affairs of the mansion on his behalf."
When these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked.
Zhao's face grew paler and paler. She moved her lips, but said nothing. She just slowly lowered her head, her eyes dim, and no one knew what she was thinking.
However, Zhao's personal maid was very impatient. She pointed at Wen Wan's nose and asked sternly:
"You said the general gave it to you, so it really was given to you by the general? I even said you stole it!"
Under normal circumstances, Wen Wan would definitely argue with her, but now, she didn't have time.
Wen Wan winked at Agui.
Agui understood and stepped forward to put the knife on the maid's neck.
Wen Wan said coldly, "Seeing an order is like seeing a person. This is the rule of the Shen family! If you have any objections, I will chop you off first! In troubled times, killing a few maids will serve as a warning to others and calm people's hearts. I think even when the general returns, he will definitely not blame me."
The maid had never experienced such a life-and-death situation before, and was so frightened that she dared not say a word.
She looked at Zhao for help.
Zhao's face was pale, and she seemed to want to say something.
Wen Wan didn't give her a chance to speak, and turned to Zhang Zongguan and ordered:
"Please ask the steward to immediately arrange for a curfew within the mansion, bounded by the courtyard where we live. No one is allowed to wander freely or pass on messages. Food will be delivered daily by Steward Zhang himself."
