Qi Changchun decided to explore the secret tunnel again.

He called Yan Xuqing, and took advantage of the cover of night to come outside the second hall of Mushou Mansion in Mingzhou.

The gatekeeper sergeant asked about their identities, hurriedly saluted them, and immediately lifted the top cover of the secret passage.

Holding the lantern, the two descended the stairs and came to the secret passage.

"My lord, what are we doing here again?" Yan Xuqing asked, not understanding Qi Changchun's intention.

Qi Changchun smiled, but did not speak.

He walked quickly to the separate cell where Xing Shirong was detained, took the lantern from Yan Xuqing, and walked in.

The prison cell was empty, except for an earthen jar filled with water and two broken bowls.

"Qing'er, close the cell door." Qi Changchun looked around, then turned to Yan Xuqing and said.

"Close?" Yan Xuqing frowned slightly.

"After closing the door, you walk from the exit of the silver vault to the exit of the second hall through the secret passage, and your steps should be as heavy as possible." Qi Changchun nodded and said.

Yan Xuqing nodded in confusion, reached out and pressed the button protruding from the wall, and the door closed with a 'squeak'.

Qi Changchun slowly sat on the floor of the cell.

After a while, I heard a burst of heavy footsteps coming from a distance, getting closer and closer, and then gradually further away.

Qi Changchun smiled, very happily.

"My lord, are you alright?" Yan Xuqing returned, opened the door and came in, asking.

"Okay, very good!" Qi Changchun stood up and walked to her side, saying.

Said, Qi Changchun quickly walked out of the secret passage.

Yan Xuqing looked at his back inexplicably, and quickly followed him.

"Bold slaves, who let you break into my room casually!" Suddenly there was a burst of anger from the east wing of the Dudu's mansion, and the voice was Xing Shirong.

Qi Changchun and Yuan Fang had just stepped into the courtyard gate, when they heard the sound of scolding, Qi Changchun waved his hand, and the two stopped their steps.

"My lord, it's the steward who ordered the younger one to bring the washing water to the lord and help the lord change his clothes." The servant's voice came out.

"I said a long time ago that I can wear the clothes myself, and I don't need you servants to wait on me! It's really unreasonable, how did the stewards of the mansion teach you fools! Get out of here!" Xing Shirong scolded furiously.

At this time, Qi Changchun and Yuan Fang exchanged glances, and they both saw puzzlement in each other's eyes. This was quite different from what they had guessed before, a clean and honest official?One dog minion at a time?

The servant was so ashamed by the scolding that he came out and closed the door behind him.

Seeing Qi Changchun and Yuan Fang standing in the courtyard, he was taken aback, and just about to speak, Qi Changchun put his finger to his mouth, hissed softly, and the servant swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

Qi Changchun waved to him, and the servant walked quickly to the west wing.

"My lord, are you still going in?" Yuan Fang whispered.

Qi Changchun pondered for a moment, shook his head slightly, waved his hands, and the two walked out of the courtyard.

"Master Xing has such a temper, even if he is thrifty, he doesn't need to go too far!" Yuan Fang said.

"Yuan Fang, ask the steward to call that servant into my room." Qi Changchun smiled.

The servant was summoned to the main hall.

"Don't be afraid, tell me what I'm asking, tell the truth." Qi Changchun sat behind the desk, looked at him, and said with a pleasant face.

The servant answered 'yes' anxiously.

"Just now, why did Lord Xing scold you angrily?" Qi Changchun asked.

"Your Excellency doesn't ask, and the little ones don't dare to say it. This Lord Xing is really too difficult to serve. Last night, Director Qi and I waited on him to get dressed, but he kicked him out. This morning, after Lord Xing woke up, The little one went into the room to tidy up as usual, but if he didn't want to, Lord Xing scolded the little one all over his face, and told him not to enter his room again." The servant sighed.

"That's weird. If you say you don't need someone to help you change clothes, that's fine. How come he won't let you make the bed?" Qi Changchun said.

"That's not true. At night, the steward ordered the younger one to cut off the water for Mr. Xing, and the younger one told the steward about the situation. If he didn't want to, the steward also scolded the younger one, saying that the younger one was being lazy and slippery, and wanted to hit the board. The little one was helpless." , I had to hold the water channel to square it.” The servant said with a look of grievance: “The little one was careful, before entering the door, he knocked on the door first, and no one answered, so the little one went into the room with water. No, you will know all about it afterwards."

"You have been wronged." Qi Changchun nodded.

"Come on, my lord, with your words, it's nothing to be wronged. Hey, you said that this person is really different from other people! Let's talk about you, my lord. We often discuss in private. Such a big official, But he has never beaten or scolded us servants, and has a pleasant face, but this Lord Xing, alas..." The servant grinned and said.

"Master Xing has been imprisoned for many years, and his temper is a little irritable. Don't blame him." Qi Changchun smiled and comforted him.

"Yes." The servant said.

"Ah, by the way, what did you see when you entered Lord Xing's room tonight?" Qi Changchun asked.

"When the villain went in, there was no movement. As soon as he put down the washbasin, Master Xing came out from the curtain on the bed and scolded the villain." The servant thought for a while and said.

"You mean, he got out from the curtain?" Qi Changchun asked.

"Exactly." The servant nodded.

"That's right. Alright, go ahead, don't tell anyone about the fact that I asked you to question me." Qi Changchun nodded.

"Don't worry, my lord." The servant replied.

"What's wrong?" At the same time, Yan Xuqing led a team of begonia guards to patrol the garden. Suddenly, there was a scream from behind, and Yan Xuqing turned her head and asked.

"General, Snake!" A guard pointed to the flowers and shouted loudly.

Yan Xuqing strode over, and in the flowerbed, a silver ring snake coiled up, with its head held high, and a pair of triangular eyes shining brightly.

"Everyone, don't move!" Yan Xuqing whispered.

Yan Xuqing slowly drew out her sword, and with a "hiss~", the silver ring snake leaped into the air and rushed straight at Yan Xuqing.

Yan Xuqing took a step to the side, shouted loudly, and swung the steel knife, cutting the silver ring snake into two pieces. Her body fell to the ground, twisting continuously.

Yan Xuqing picked up the broken snake, her eyes were inexplicable, and then hurriedly reported to Qi Changchun.

"What's the matter, Qing'er?" Qi Changchun raised his head already.

"Found it." Yan Xuqing raised the two dead snakes in his hand.

"Where did you find it?" Qi Changchun stood up and asked.

Qi Changchun frowned secretly. Most women would have a sense of fear of snakes. Even women like Yuan Fang who are extremely skilled workers are afraid of snakes, but this Yan Xuqing directly grabbed the snake in her hand. The Coral Snake has been hacked to death...

"In the flowerbed in the garden. This guy is really powerful. He jumped out of the flowers and bit the throat of the servant, and was cut in two by the servant." Yan Xuqing said.

As she spoke, she put the snake on the desk.

Qi Changchun watched carefully, and suddenly, a picture flashed in his mind...

It was late at night, in a thatched cottage in the lower village of Da'anmen.
