Chapter 321: Nonsense

The secret room of Mrs. Zhao Guogong was not built in the main room, but in the west wing.

Although it was built a bit secluded, with Ling Chu around, he quickly lured the royal guards there.

Wei Feng stretched out his hand and knocked on the wall, "Listen to this sound, there is really something fishy behind it, look for it and see where the mechanism is hidden."

Jin Yiwei was looking around when suddenly an old woman rushed in with two men and two women.

"Who are you? How dare you break into our house without permission! If you don't get out quickly, we will report you to the police."

"No matter who they are, it's wrong to break into our house. Get out quickly."

These people rushed in and started shouting at the top of their lungs.

With a look from Wei Feng, Jin Yiwei immediately stepped forward to stop him, "We are Jin Yiwei and we are handling a case. If you dare to stop us, you will all be thrown into Jin Yiwei's prison."

When those people heard this, they stopped but did not leave.

When the leader, Mrs. Chen, saw them, she hurriedly gave them a look.

Although they felt a little uneasy, the two men and two women still shouted loudly.

"We haven't broken any laws. Even if you are the Jinyi Guards, you can't arrest people randomly."

"That's right, we stayed at home and didn't do anything. How could you forcefully break into our home?"

"I think you Jin Yiwei are interested in our family wealth, and you want to accuse us of any crime so that you can rob our family's money."

Ling Chu glanced at those people. Although his voice was quite loud, there was a sense of guilt. It could be seen that these people were still afraid of Jin Yiwei.

They were making such a fuss, probably because they wanted to shout loudly to alert Mrs. Zhao Guogong in the secret room.

Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that Ms. Guo had been knocked unconscious by a small hammer. No matter how loud they made the noise, she couldn't hear it.

Seeing that those people were still making trouble, a Jin Yiwei pulled out his knife with a cold face.

Afraid that Jin Yiwei would kill someone, the two men and two women took a few steps back in panic.

The old woman glared at them with hatred, then sat down on the ground, clapped her legs and began to cry, "It's unreasonable, the Jin Yiwei wants to steal our money. You are not officials, you are robbers, I will not live anymore." …”

Seeing the Jin Yiwei approaching with a dark face, Mrs. Chen started crying at the top of her lungs, "Help, the robbers are killing people..."

The four people opened their mouths and looked at her in fear, fearing that they would offend Jin Yiwei and kill her.

This Mrs. Chen is Mrs. Zhao Guogong's companion, and even more so her confidant.

On weekdays, she lives in this house with her two sons and daughter-in-law, nominally helping Guo to look after the house, but when Guo is away, she almost treats this house as her own home.

Although the main house of this house is reserved for the Guo family, Mrs. Chen's two sons live in the east and west wings.

Although the matter between Guo and Taoist Priest Qingyang was hidden from outsiders, Mrs. Chen had been with her for a long time and could not hide it from her at all.

In order to silence Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Guo tacitly allowed her family to live in this house as their home.

As for Mrs. Chen's matter regarding Guo and Qingyang, she is happy to see it come to fruition. After all, she has mastered the secrets of the Guo family, so she can do whatever she wants to the house.

Mrs. Chen secretly felt sorry for Taoist Master Qingyang's death, for fear that the Guo family would take the house back.

But today, she overheard that Mrs. Guo and Taoist Priest Mingzhen were getting together again, and she felt relieved again.

Mrs. Chen knew that only by keeping the Guo family could she keep the house.

If Guo's theft was revealed, their family would probably be in a bad situation.

Just as Mrs. Chen was crying, Zhao Guogong followed Ning Chuyi and walked in.

Zhao Guogong was not familiar with Mrs. Chen, and it took him several times to recognize her as Guo's companion.

Frowning, he said, "Mother Chen, didn't you go home because of something at home? What are you doing? Jin Yiwei is handling the case. How can we stop him and hurry up?"

Nanny Chen never returned home. She just overheard that Mrs. Guo and Taoist Priest Mingzhen were getting together again. She was afraid that her two sons and daughter-in-law would gossip, so she detained them in the back room.

They just ran out when they heard something wrong. They didn't even know that Duke Zhao had also come to the house.

At this moment, Grandma Chen was complaining in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face.

He just wiped away his tears and cried, "Master Marquis, we are fine in the house. These royal guards barged in randomly. If they damage the things in the house, we can't explain it to Madam."

Duke Zhao just wanted those royal guards to finish their search and leave quickly, so that he could rush back to Beijing. He didn't take Mrs. Zhang's cries seriously at all, and said casually, "Don't worry, Jin Yiwei handles things in a measured way. I'm here to watch. If anything happens, I will explain it to my wife and I won't hurt you."

Mrs. Guo and Taoist Master Mingzhen were still in the secret room. Mrs. Chen was so anxious that she could not rest assured.

Seeing that the Jinyi guards were still looking for the secret room, Mrs. Chen was afraid, but she could only rush forward to stop her, "This wing is so big, there is no way to hide anyone. What are your intentions after waiting so long?" ”

Mrs. Chen's son was like a drum in his heart. He didn't dare to look at Duke Zhao at all. He could only nod and bow to the Jin Yiwei, "My lords, we have been in this house and have never seen anyone break in. If you don't believe it, you can go somewhere else." Local search."

As soon as Mrs. Chen finished speaking, Zhao Jingming hurriedly walked in, first greeted Zhao Guogong, and then said to Ning Chuyi, "Master Ning, I heard that you are searching for the criminals in Chongxuguan.

I often come to this house. I know where it is convenient to hide people. Why don’t I take you to search it? "

Seeing his son, Duke Zhao was surprised, "Jingming, you went hunting today, why are you here?"

Zhao Jingming pursed his lips, suppressed his uneasiness, and pretended to be calm, "Dad, I went hunting. When I came back, I remembered that my mother had a farm here, so I came to see it."

Zhao Jingming did not lie. He did come to this farm on a whim.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the door, Qiulan's maid rushed over and grabbed him, saying that Guo secretly came to the house to see Mingzhen Taoist.

But Qiulan didn't say that Mingzhen had an affair with Guo, but only lied that Mingzhen had saved Guo's life. In order to repay her kindness, Guo had no choice but to hide him in a secret room.

Unexpectedly, the Jinyiwei brought Duke Zhao to search. In order to cover up Mingzhen Taoist, Qiulan could only beg Zhao Jingming to lead those Jinyiwei away.

Zhao Jingming He got anxious when he heard it. He knew that Duke Zhao would not be given an important position by the emperor. If his mother was found to be harboring Taoist Mingzhen, their family might be disliked by the emperor.

Moreover, he knew that his parents had a bad relationship because of the loan sharking. If his father knew that his mother was hiding in the secret room with Taoist Mingzhen, he didn't know how many misunderstandings would arise.

Zhao Jingming wanted to lead the Jinyiwei away, but Ling Chu would never let him do so.

With a wave of his hand, he smashed the small hammer against the wall.

After a loud bang, the entrance to the secret room was revealed behind the wall. (End of this chapter)
