Chapter 270 Darkroom
Immediately afterwards, a muffled sound of turning the mechanism sounded, and a "boom" sound came softly.
Before she could react, Qianshan found that she was pulled into a completely closed and dark place. She became even more nervous, and the hanging heart kept beating. She couldn't see everything beside her, nor where Jiang Chengjia was. Fear and worry surged in her heart. Qianshan immediately called out, "Girl? Girl?"
"Shh, so loud? Are you trying to lure people here?" Jiang Chengjia hurriedly stopped him.
Qianshan felt relieved when she heard the voice of her girl, and asked with a relaxed tone: "Girl...where is this?"
Jiang Chengjia did not answer her question, but asked back: "Have you brought the fire pie?"
Qianshan nodded in the darkness, and then realized that Jiang Chengjia couldn't see her at this moment, so she replied, "Take it."
She then took out a small wooden tube from her arms, carefully opened it and took out a fire stick to gently stroke the rough surface of the wooden tube, and a faint light finally ignited in this dim space.
Jiang Chengjia saw Qian Shan, took the note that the fire was ignited from her hand, and then grabbed Qian Shan's hands tightly and said, "We are... in that wall now."
Qianshan said in surprise: "The girl said..."
Before she could finish her words, Jiang Chengjia said again, "The blue brick wall is so thick... It is indeed for the purpose of building a corridor... It is only one person who passes here, and the other end of the corridor... is connected to the place we are looking for. Be careful to follow me, slow down, and try not to make any sound."
Qianshan whispered: "Okay."
The master and servant walked carefully towards the dark corridor ahead.
After a few steps, the two of them came to a wall again.
Qianshan touched the stone wall and said strangely: "Girl...why is there a wall?"
Jiang Chengjia said nothing, handed the fire letter to Qianshan, and then started fumble on the wall.
Soon, she touched a sliding brick on the right side of the wall, and she carefully pulled the brick out a little. The wall standing in front of them suddenly rotated like a mechanism inspired by some kind of mechanism.
Immediately afterwards, another narrow corridor appeared in front of the two of them. This time, the passage in front of them was not as bright as before. On the contrary, some light came from the right side of the corridor, and at the same time, the noisy voices in Jishi Hall also came over.
Jiang Chengjia took Qianshan and walked over with his hands, carefully groping on both sides of the passage. Then, she found that there were two huge wooden boards on the left side of the corridor. And on the right side of the corridor, there seemed to be a huge wall shaking.
She leaned over, grabbed the floating black shadow and pulled it gently, and found that it was a silk painting. She carefully lifted a corner and found two mysterious windows on the right side of the corridor that were the same as the bluestone brick wall.
Looking from behind the mysterious window, it was the medicine shop in front.
Qianshan said in surprise: "So... the two mysterious windows on the bluestone wall were actually blocked by the wooden boards and silk paintings in this corridor?"
Jiang Chengjia took advantage of the light coming from the front of Jishi Hall and looked at the huge silk painting, and found that the scenery on it was painted on it, and the colors were very exquisite and realistic.
She put down the silk painting, bent over and turned back and exclaimed: "No wonder...even if the mysterious window on the bluestone wall is blocked by something... it will not affect the view of the people in Jishitang seeing the backyard. It turns out that a silk painting is hung here?"
Qianshan was also surprised and asked in confusion: "It's just... what are they trying hard to set up such a mechanism?"
Jiang Chengjia pondered for a moment and replied: "They set up such an organization, one is to let the entire Guangxin City send Jishitang to buy medicinal materials to prove that there is nothing strange in Jishitang. Those people who come to buy medicine can see the scene of the backyard from the mysterious window... If the government investigates at that time, they will definitely not think of the secret room of the bluestone wall behind the counter. And the reason why they set up a wooden porch on the left side of the corridor... Probably to guard against the doctors in Jishitang. Zhuying also said... The background of these doctors in Jishitang is not wrong, they are real children from the Hanhu Family, who are treating the people in Guangxin City in Jishitang... They will inevitably go to the backyard... If someone happens to use this corridor to go to a certain place, the wooden porch on the left side of the corridor can play a hidden role."
Qianshan still felt strange and said, "Will it be more suspicious to block the mysterious window by wooden boards? Just like when you saw that the mysterious window was suddenly sealed..."
Jiang Chengjia was stunned and felt that Qianshan was right. It was indeed very strange that the left side of the corridor was suddenly covered with wooden boards.
After thinking about it, the two of them had no results and walked into the corridor together. Before they could walk for a long time, Jiang Chengjia found that the corridor in front of them suddenly became a low path.
This path can only allow people to bend down and climb in.
So the master and servant looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and finally got into the path.
The two of them were afraid of the distance in this low and narrow path, as if they had entered an arc passage, and the noise in Jishi Hall and the voices of the doctors and the runner hall became clearer.
Jiang Chengjia touched the walls on both sides of the passage and found that from when the stone walls on both sides had turned into thick wooden boards, a ray of light shining out from the gaps of the wooden boards.
She leaned over to the gap and saw in surprise the six doctors outside sitting in front of them.
She immediately understood that the place where she and Qianshan were now was the huge half-circle counter that could be seen at the entrance of Jishitang.
It turns out there is a passage under the counter?
Jiang Chengjia continued to crawl in this narrow path with Qianshan.
The light outside Jishi Hall shone in through the gap, illuminating their way forward.
The two crawled for a while and found that there were several bluestone steps in the center of the corridor.
Qianshan squatted down, carefully stretched her legs down, and used the fire snatch in her hand to take a photo. Seeing that there were many bluestone steps inside, she said to Jiang Chengjia: "Miss... are we going down?"
Jiang Chengjia nodded, turned around and blew out the fire note in Qianshan's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone has arrived here... I naturally have to go down and take a look."
Qianshan felt helpless when she heard her firm tone.
Jiang Chengjia took the lead in bending down the steps and climbing down. Qianshan could only follow him with his fate.
The two crawled forward for a while, and the front suddenly became widening.
The steps below are enough to pass through the two.
Jiang Chengjia and Qianshan hugged, raised their vigilance, and quietly walked down the stone steps.
At this moment, a huge dark room appeared in front of them.
A fire brazier was lit around the dark room, illuminating the rugged mountain walls, making it look a little gloomy.
After walking a while, the two of them vaguely heard the sound of talking inside.
Jiang Chengjia and Qianshan immediately hid in the shadow of the corner of the dark room, and listened carefully to the voice with their ears.
"My people are already waiting outside the city... If Lord Song still wants to survive, it's better to leave this place with me."
"Mr. Duan really wants to abandon this place? If he abandons it, it will be even more difficult to find a stronghold like such a good terrain in the future... Even everything here needs to be rebuilt... Mr. Duan, don't forget. How did we work hard to create this dark room..."
"Even if this is the case, life is not important. Lord Song, I have left the green mountains... Are you still afraid of not burning firewood?"
"Let me think about it again..."
The two people who were talking to each other were Song Zong, who had fled from Anya Village, and Mr. Duan, who had just talked to Chaoyang in the courtyard of the back house.
Jiang Chengjia's face darkened.
"Is Chaoyang reliable? Mr. Duan is sure that he was sent by Lord Sikong and Qinghe Gong?"
After a moment of silence in the dark room, Song Zong's voice suddenly rang.
Immediately afterwards, a wave of jade rubbing came from the front. Mr. Duan seemed to take out something from his arms.
"This is the mutton fat jade pendant given by Emperor Shizu...... It is the token of Lord Sikong and Qinghe Gong, and it was also handed to me by Chaoyang."
"Yeah?"
Emperor Song still seemed to believe it, so he took the mutton fat jade from Mr. Duan's hand and looked it carefully.
Jiang Chengjia and Qianshan hid in the corner and listened carefully to the movement inside.
Somehow, a "bang" suddenly came from the dark room, as if something had fallen down.
They were wondering when they heard footsteps coming from the front.
Immediately afterwards, another conversation came from the dark room.
"Transfer him to the forbidden room and lock him up."
"Here."
"Have the books and money and grain been shipped out?"
"Sir, it's all shipped out."
"good."
"Call all brothers and withdraw from here."
"Here!"
A burst of response shouts echoed in the dark room.
Jiang Chengjia held his breath and continued to listen.
Just as the group of people in the dark room was about to leave, someone suddenly pushed the door from another place and ran to the dark room and said, "Sir! The mysterious window in the backyard is closed! Someone broke in!"
"What?"
When Qianshan and Jiang Chengjia heard this, they suddenly realized...
It turns out that the reason why the mysterious window on the left side of the corridor hidden in the bluestone wall was covered by wooden boards...Is this person who set up the entrance hall... used to check if there were any invasions from outside thieves?
The master and servant held their breath and shrank again in the shadows. They hid behind the pillars of the dark room, dared not move.
"Hurry! Find the person who broke into the dark room! Kill without any worries!"
"Here!"
Qianshan and Jiang Chengjia were even more afraid to speak out, nor did they dare to continue moving forward.
Only a burst of hurried footsteps sounded in the dark room. Two or three more sounds of opening the door. It seemed that someone had walked in again.
