Cheng Luojie followed Guang and sat up, saying, "What's wrong?"

Leng Yi patted the open space under the coffee table with his hand: "This place seems different from other places."

"Lift it up and take a look!" Cheng Luojie was also curious, "Could there be some treasure hidden there?"

Leng Yi and Cheng Luojie moved the chairs and coffee table away, then lifted up the carpet. The blue bricks on the ground were nothing special. Cheng Luojie was very disappointed. Leng Yi put his hand on it, felt it again, and looked around carefully.

, finally, he found that a blue brick on the inside could move slightly, so he held it down and pushed and pulled in different directions. When he pulled back, he finally heard a rattling sound. The four green bricks on the ground slowly moved towards both sides.

Moved, revealing a small square hidden grid.

There were several account books placed in the square. Cheng Luojie asked curiously: "What is this?" She reached for it and handed one to Leng Yi.

Leng Yi was about to look through it when he felt the ground soften. The green bricks under his feet separated on both sides with a clang, and the two of them fell immediately!

Immediately, the flap closed again!

The two of them were caught off guard. They were naked and without anything. Leng Yi reacted extremely quickly. He turned over and shot out the account book in his hand. When the flap quickly closed again, it shot out from the gap and shot through the roof with a snap.

, fell on it.

Then, the upper flaps closed with a clang. The two of them landed on a slope and slid down the slope!

Leng Yi grabbed the ground with his hands. Years of rock climbing made him very confident in the strength of his fingers. In terms of finger strength, he definitely did not belong to Yin Jiu, a master of the Eagle Claw Sect. However, he could not grab it into the ground because the ground was very

It is so hard that it seems to be made of a whole piece of granite. There are no gaps at all, and it is also covered with grease and other things. The distance up and down the left and right of the sliding channel is very wide, and it is impossible to use support to restrain the body.

of decline.

Fortunately, soon they were all empty and fell into a cellar. It was pitch dark inside!

Leng Yi felt his body fall on a pile of debris, some hard and some soft, and there was a sound of crunching and crushing things.

What was horrifying was that it was filled with a suffocating stench. Leng Yi only smelled it and immediately knew what it was, corpse stench! This was the stench of rotting corpses! This stench

The smell is incomparable to any odor.

There are rotting corpses in here! And I'm afraid there's more than one!

Leng Yi's heart sank. Where did he fall into?

At this time, Cheng Luojie's voice came: "Brother Yi, where are you?!"

"I'm here!"

Cheng Luojie rushed over and hugged him, opening her eyes wide and looking around, but the room was pitch black, there was not even a trace of light, and she couldn't see anything at all. She exclaimed: "It stinks! What is so smelly?"

"

Cheng Luojie is the personal guard of Queen Kaibao, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe. Apart from practicing martial arts throughout the day, she doesn't have many opportunities to do anything with others, so she doesn't dare to kill. She only started quitting after coming to Yinling. Before that, she had

I have never seen a dead body, and I have never smelled the stench of a rotting corpse. I can't tell what it is.

Leng Yi didn't tell her the truth, for fear of scaring her, so he just pretended to be stupid and said, "Yeah, it stinks!"

"What is this place?

"I don't know, it should be a cellar." Leng Yi said, "When we picked up the account book, we may not have canceled the corresponding mechanism, but triggered the mechanism and fell into this cellar."

"Is this the place where the butcher's garbage is collected? It's so smelly, and there's a long slide. It's like it's all covered in oil."

Leng Yi smiled bitterly: "Does the garbage dump need any mechanism?"

"That's true," Cheng Luojie panicked and grabbed Leng Yi's arm. "Then what should we do?"

"Don't panic, there will be a way." Leng Yi thought to himself, he used the ledger to shoot through the roof of the house. The Yin Vultures and Zheng Yan who were on guard outside would definitely find the clues. Once they find the mechanism, they can be saved. He added: "We

First check if there is an exit."

Leng Yi pulled Cheng Luojie and was about to explore when suddenly, a child's childish voice came: "Mom, they are coming..."

Immediately, the voice was muffled by hands and stopped muffled.

"Who?" Leng Yi pulled Cheng Luojie behind him and asked warily towards the source of the sound. At the same time, his ears were listening for any suspicious movements.

Nothing happens.

Cheng Luojie's heart felt warm. Leng Yi, a weak scholar, took the initiative to protect himself in front of her at this time, which showed that he really regarded her as his lover. She quickly pulled him behind him and said: "You hide behind!

"Then, he said to the source of the voice: "Don't be afraid, we are not bad people, we came down from the top unintentionally. Who are you?"

Still no response.

Leng Yi said: "To tell you the truth, I am the magistrate of Yinling County. I am here to investigate a murder case, and I accidentally triggered the arrest of the machine. You don't need to be afraid. Who is here? What is your relationship with the Tu Gang Leader?

?”

Finally, a woman's voice came: "You..., are you really the county magistrate...?"

"Yes." When Leng Yi heard the woman's voice, he subconsciously blocked his private parts with his hand. Then he thought that it was pitch dark here, and even if he didn't block it, the other party wouldn't be able to see him at all. But he still didn't let go.

"Great!" The woman's voice suddenly became much louder, "Master, Master Qingtian, help me, my son and I were kidnapped by the boat gang. They left us here for a day and a night, without water or food.

, they want to starve us to death. Sir, help us!"

Leng Yi and Cheng Luojie were shocked: "The boat gang kidnapped you? Who are you?"

"The woman is the first wife of Bazhou merchant Xu Jiafu, and this child is our only son. On the way back from visiting relatives, my son and I were knocked down by the boat gang's servants and took us captive to a house. Later,

..., Later..., Wuwu, a man... raped me..., Wuwu, Lord Qingtian, please make the decision for me!"

Leng Yi said angrily: "Are you sure it was someone from the Boat Gang who did it?"

"Yes, one of their leaders named He Xian once came to my house to find my husband. He said that they were members of the shipping gang and that the dock fees for our Xu family's merchant ships were not given to their shipping gang but to Zha Nu.

Gang, warned us that if we didn’t hand it over, we would be responsible for the consequences. But my husband said that we had already handed it over to the Zha Nu Gang. The Zha Nu Gang promised to take care of the matter. But after a few days, the people from the Boat Gang detained us.

. They told me when to pay and when to release. However, they raped me and brought us here without giving us anything to eat or drink. Apparently, they wanted to starve us to death!"

"Is there no exit from here?"

"No!" the woman said, "Since I was thrown in yesterday, I have touched it carefully bit by bit. They are all thick bluestone slabs! There are thick iron plates on top. I kept shouting for help, but there was no response.

Maybe you can’t hear it outside.”

"Where's the slide?" Leng Yi asked.

"I didn't touch it."

"Didn't touch it?"

"yes."

"Do you have flint?"

"No."

"Where is it on the ground? Have you looked for it?"

"No..., I didn't dare to look for it, the ground was all..., all..."

Leng Yi guessed from her terrifying voice that she had noticed that there was a rotting corpse inside. Although it was not yet certain whether it was a human corpse, it was enough for a mother to collapse. She could hold on until now and could not bear to tell her children.

, already quite commendable. He said: "Okay, I understand."

Leng Yi gently patted Cheng Luojie's hand and said, "Jie'er, I'll check around again to see if I can find a way out."

"I'll help you!"

"No need, just stay here." Leng Yi was worried that Cheng Luojie would touch the body.

"Okay." Cheng Luojie also felt something weird under her body. She didn't know what it was, and she didn't dare to reach out and touch it. It would be better to wait for Leng Yi to touch it first. Anyway, it was just an exploration, there would be nothing wrong with it.

Danger.

Leng Yi stood up and groped upwards. As soon as he raised his hand, he touched the top. It seemed that the cellar was not high. He groped over little by little.

Sure enough, it was just as the woman said, there was no hole that should exist above his head! He clearly remembered that they fell from here, so how could there be no hole? Where did the hole go?

He touched all the places on the ceiling above his head, all the way to the four walls. Sure enough, there were no holes, not even a crack as big as a thumb!

Could it be that there is a flap at the end of the slide, above the cellar? When they fell down, the flap closed automatically?

It's very possible, as evidenced by the fact that you didn't touch the exit just now. At the same time, the two flaps can insulate the sound as much as possible to prevent the screams of the people below from being heard by people outside. It also prevents the smell of the corpse below from spreading to the outside and being smelled by others.

arrive.

Leng Yi squatted down and started groping on the ground. He wanted to find the flint. Since the woman had spent two days groping without finding a passage, it meant that there must be no obvious exits on the four walls. Therefore, he had to find the flint.

Only with light can we find the exit. Since there are bones on the ground, there should be something. I hope to find flint.

He first touched around the body, and sure enough, almost all he touched were skeletons! Judging from the appearance, they were definitely human bones!

Leng Yi's heart sank. Could it be that this butcher gang leader was a butcher who killed people without batting an eyelid? He killed people and threw their bodies here?

At this moment, Cheng Luojie was heard crying: "Brother Yi, this..., these are all..., what are they all?"

"What's wrong?" Leng Yi asked.

"The things on the ground seem to be people..."

"It's okay! Don't think about it! I'm not afraid of children, so what are you afraid of?" Leng Yi knew that she must have touched the human bones on the ground, so he interrupted her.

Hearing the mention of children in Leng Yi's words, Cheng Luojie immediately understood and quickly shut up. She clasped her hands in front of her chest and did not dare to touch anything on the ground again.
