Chapter 272 Duan Congyu
Judging from his voice just now, Jiang Chengjia picked up a door and quietly stepped over the threshold and walked in.
She had just paid close attention to the sound of the door closing. The sounds of the wooden doors closed were slightly different. So she had listened carefully to the creaking sound of the doors of Princess Feiyu and Mr. Duan leaving, and speculated that they were leaving from the wooden door on the far right.
The master and servant came to a dark room from behind the wooden door.
The light in this room was even less sparse. Jiang Chengjia heard the sound of footsteps from the entire underground cave, and several roaring shouts: "The east and south have been checked... no trace of the thief was found."
Qianshan followed in fear, fearing that someone would suddenly jump out and find them
Jiang Chengjia was groping in this dim inner room, and gradually, she touched another door.
She boldly opened the door and came to a bluestone staircase.
"Why is it another step?" Qianshan murmured.
Jiang Chengjia frowned and walked up the steps with her skirt.
The higher they walked, the more intense the light became. Jiang Chengjia knew... Maybe they had found another secret passage leading outside.
The two walked out of the corridor together. When they stood on the ground, a team of patrolmen were rushing towards them.
Jiang Chengjia hurriedly hugged Qianshan, gently pointed her feet, and flew to the Cang Cang Yun Tree beside her.
Standing on a high place, she realized where this place was.
This is the first house in the alley where the man was causing trouble just now.
Jiang Chengjia said in surprise: "I didn't expect that this dark room... there are so many places to pass through?"
Qianshan was even more amazed: "I have heard that there is an abandoned house in the center of Guangxin City... but although it is abandoned, the government cannot demolish it. Instead, it has turned this house into a store and rented it to the merchants... Unexpectedly, the reason why the Guangxin County Magistrate Hu Guang refused to demolish this house was to provide Song Zong with a trading base for the secret village sale?"
Jiang Chengjia said silently: "Shhh... someone is here."
Qianshan paused, closed her mouth, and poked her head out of the gap in the branches.
After searching for the patrol team heading towards them in a desperate situation, they rushed down from the corridor they had just come out.
The rapid footsteps disappeared behind the corridor, and a figure sneaked out of the courtyard house on the south side.
"Master! It's Song Zong!" Qian Shan said in surprise.
Jiang Chengjia reached out to cover her mouth, staring at the man's every move.
I saw him slipping to a room and knocking on the door in a panic.
The room was silent for a moment, and suddenly opened from the inside and walked out of it.
Song Zong asked the man: "I'll ask you, Mr. Duan and his two lords want to abandon me?"
The man hesitated for a moment without answering. Song Zong showed indignation and stepped forward and grabbed the man's clothes and said viciously: "Go and tell the man surnamed Duan, I knew he would be like this. The account book is now in my hands. If he dares to let me be this scapegoat, then don't blame me for turning against me!"
By the way, they heard the man who was being grabbed by the clothes questioning in a surprising tone: "What? When did you... When did you take the account book?"
Song Zong sneered, pushed the man hard to the ground, and said, "Do you think the one with his surname Duan would do something? Let me tell you, the two lords communicated with me and ordered me to hijack Princess Feiyu's letters, and I also hid them. If they dared to push me out alone, then I would hand these things over to His Highness Huai King. At worst, I would fight to the death. Even if I die, I would take the one with Duan to hell together!"
"You...don't irritate Mr. Duan. He can do anything."
"So what if you can do it? You will jump over the wall and bite people when you are anxious! For many years, I have been by their side, and even a dog is not as good as a dog... The leader of the disaster, his surname Duan wants to put all the blame on me. Let me tell you, there is no way!" Song Zong said angrily.
Jiang Chengjia saw through the gaps between the branches that Song Zong stepped on the man in the house and said angrily: "Tell me! Where is the surname Duan!"
The man was trampled on the ground hard, unable to move, his face flushed with blood and said, "I don't know... I only know... Chaoyang, under Zhou Yuanmo, sent someone to wait in the suburbs, but I'm afraid Mr. Duan has left here with his people."
Song Zong didn't believe it. He stomped the man hard again and said, "Gao Song! You haven't told the truth yet! There is so much evidence left in this abandoned house, how could he leave here so quickly?"
The man called Gao Song by Song Zong held his breath and said in a low voice: "I...I didn't lie to you. Mr. Duan may have been preparing to abandon this place long ago... ruined all the evidence that was unfavorable to the two lords... Now this entire courtyard is probably only left with four evidence to correct you!"
"How dare Little Man Duan!" Song Zong was violent and stomped Gao Song heavily.
Jiang Chengjia, hiding in the tree, heard the man sobbing a few times, and then there was no movement.
Song Zong left the courtyard angrily, and then ran into a path and disappeared.
Jiang Chengjia and Qianshan flew down quickly and hurriedly chased after him.
In the room with the open wooden door, the man named Takasong's face was covered in blood at the moment, his eyes were as big as a copper bell, and his whole body was twitching, and he stopped breathing after a while.
Qianshan and Jiang Chengjia had no time to stay here, but just took a quick look at the man and chased him towards the disappearing corridor of Song Zong.
Before I could catch up with him, I heard the screams of angrily cursing from the other side of the corridor: "Duan Congyu! If something happened to me, my people would immediately send the account books of the two lords to the hands of the enemy and the letters of treason to the King of Huai! You dare to do this to me! I am not afraid of being defeated by the death! Duan Congyu! Did you hear it? Let me go! Let me go!"
Jiang Chengjia and Qianshan immediately jumped over the wall and became more and more.
Fortunately, there are many ancient trees in this alley...the dense branches have become the best place for them to hide.
Before Song Zong took two steps, he was caught by the man who was appointed by Duan Congyu.
At this moment, he was struggling with his teeth and claws, blushing and making the last fight.
Jiang Chengjia thought of the name Duan Congyu and felt a little shocked in his heart: "Duan Congyu...? That Mr. Duan is actually Duan Congyu?"
Qianshan said in confusion: "Miss knows this person?"
"In the fourth year of Jiankang, he was sentenced to exile because he was extremely arrogant and honest when he was an official. His poems were excellent and he was also well-known in the literary world of the Great Wei Dynasty. His brother always talked about him. Later, when he heard that he died in exile, his brother sent someone to inquire. He only knew... his body was indeed sent to his family... but he didn't know that he was not dead, but was rescued by Princess Feiyu?" Jiang Chengjia said what she knew, and was extremely shocked at this moment.
She never expected that Duan Congyu, who was in the letters of his brother, had a noble character, talent and wealthy man who was worried about the country and the people, would now do such a shameless thing for Fu Bo and Ma Yue here?
Taking advantage of the setting sun, Jiang Chengjia saw the scene on the other side of the wall.
Duan Congyu slowly walked out of the house opposite and stood with his hands behind his back.
The young handsome guy is no longer as heroic as he was when he was young, and now only coldness and hatred are left.
"Song Zong. Do you think...I don't know you've tampered with the account book? You're too naive. You actually thought...I won't pay attention to your little actions?" Duan Congyu smiled calmly.
Song Zong, who was firmly controlled by several burly men, shouted in disbelief: "What?"
"Your person... has been intercepted by me, but I am afraid that my body and head are now different... I don't know where the lonely soul will go... crying and asking for revenge on you, the creditor?" Duan Congyu said gloomyly.
Song Zong was so angry that his whole body shook, and he kept shaking his head and said, "It is absolutely impossible! What I did is perfect, how could you notice it? How could you! The surname Duan, do you want to cheat me? I, Song Zong, are not so stupid! I don't believe it!"
Duan Congyu snorted coldly and said, "It's up to you to believe it or not..."
"Take him into the forbidden room and imprison him." Duan Congyu's merciless voice rang out.
Song Zong screamed and roared, and struggled, "Duan Congyu! You are so cold and ruthless! You will be retribution! Even if I die, I will turn into a lonely ghost and seek your life!"
Duan Congyu's voice turned and left paused, and sneered, "Song Zong... what you should have thought of... I'm not afraid of you seeking revenge on me. If it weren't for you, how could I have touched Your Majesty's rebellious scale and ended up like this now... All of this was your own fault."
Song Zong kept struggling and screaming, but the burly man who had just clamped him tightly did not give him a chance to escape, so he was dragged away like this.
Jiang Chengjia looked at Duan Congyu who was standing in front of the door and looking at the green trees in the yard. She couldn't help but feel cold layer after layer of coldness in her heart.
She didn't know what Duan Congyu had experienced. How could it become like this now?
But now, it is obviously not the time for her to feel sad.
She saw Duan Congyu standing in the yard for a moment. A man ran from the corridor to the right and knelt on one knee at him and reported: "Sir... Gao Song... is dead."
Duan Congyu trembled obviously. So she heard Duan Congyu say, "Let's bury it well."
"Here."
Immediately afterwards, the man said: "Mr. Duan, the firewood and turmeric oil have been laid along the corner of the wall... boiling oil is poured everywhere in the walls... When will I do it?"
Duan Congyu pondered for a moment, as if he was thinking about something.
After a while, he said coldly: "As soon as it gets dark, set fire immediately."
"Those girls...will all be killed? What if they were asked to escape?" the man asked again.
"There is no need to kill it. They can't escape this fire."
