Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

The Bachelor's Mansion was formerly called Wang's House. It was the property purchased by the ancestors of the Wang family in the capital. As the official positions of the heads of the Wang family became higher and higher, it reached a peak when it came to Wang Zhuo.

So now, the entire bachelor's mansion is very large. He even acquired the two adjacent courtyards and transformed them into his own backyard.

Even the backyard is divided into two parts, east and west, and the lotus pond is located right in the middle of the two courtyards. It is also connected to the front yard, and can be regarded as a hub connecting the three courtyards.

The entire lotus pond does not cover a large area, but it is indeed filled with various varieties of lotus that can be found within the territory of the Great Chu State.

When the lotus flowers are in full bloom, the entire lotus pond is extremely prosperous. Wang Zhuo would even hold poetry gatherings beside the lotus pond, inviting officials from the court and his own disciples to gather there.

Occasionally, Li Junze would also appear at poetry gatherings, so Wang Zhuo's poetry gatherings were very popular.

However, no matter how hard Sang Mo tried, he would never have thought that Wang Zhuo would actually build the cellar under the lotus pond.

Or nearby?

The young man brought by Sang Mo, as well as a dozen other soldiers, came directly to the lotus pond, and Wang Zhuo's wheelchair was also pushed over by Li Junze.

Sure enough, the young man took out a compass from the bag in front of him.

Wang Zhuo raised his eyebrows. It was obvious that they came prepared, and the secret of his lotus pond would no longer be kept.

"Close the door and gather quickly." Wang Zhuo whispered to Hu Ziping.

Then he let Li Junze push him back to the reception room.

Then the entire scholar's mansion was in a full-scale combat state, and almost all the servants quickly found their own weapons.

Except for a few people who stayed at the front gate of the mansion, all the rest surrounded Sang Mo and the others in an orderly manner.

Hu Ziping and these people looked at Sang Mo with unfriendly eyes, but did not take any action. They just surrounded them and prevented them from walking around.

When Sang Mo saw this situation, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart. It seemed that Wang Zhuo was going to take desperate measures and fight to the death?

"Manager, what do you mean? Is Master Wang worried that we stole his lotus roots?" Sang Mo asked jokingly.

Although there were only a dozen of them, they were surrounded by dozens of people. Not to mention breaking the formation, even turning around was difficult.

After hearing what Sang Mo said, Hu Ziping did not answer or make any expression. He just surrounded them without any other action.

Sang Mo immediately understood that they were trying to force him to take action first, so that he could tell others later that they were the ones who started it first.

Thinking of these things, Sang Mo was not angry, but picked up the whistle in his hand. As a sharp whistle sounded, more people appeared behind Hu Ziping and the others.

Yan Nangui, the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple, and all the guards of the Dali Temple had been waiting outside the courtyard wall of the Bachelor's Mansion for a long time, just waiting for the whistle to sound.

Deputy General Niu stepped forward and shouted, "The servants of the Scholar's Mansion are hindering Chief Sang from doing his work. Capture them all."

After he finished speaking, the guards around him had already picked up their weapons and started fighting.

When Hu Ziping saw this situation, it seemed to be different from what Wang Zhuo had originally imagined, but he could not care too much at this time and could only lead his people to fight against the people from the Dali Temple.

At the same time, except for Sang Mo who protected the young man and continued to survey, the other soldiers who came with Sang Mo also participated in the battle.

For a moment, the entire lotus pond in the Bachelor's Mansion was filled with the sound of metal.

Wang Zhuo and Li Junze had just arrived at the reception room when they clearly heard the noise over there. Li Junze immediately showed an expression of disbelief, "Grandfather, what are they doing..."

Wang Zhuo only glanced back, and seemed surprised that they started fighting so quickly, but he did not stop at all. He directed Li Junze in the direction he was going, and sighed and said,

"Chief Hu should be able to hold out for a while, we need to be faster."

Li Junze was a little surprised. Did his grandfather mean to give up the Bachelor's Mansion?

Sure enough, following Wang Zhuo's instructions, they soon saw a downward hole under a bed board in the back hall of the reception room.

"Ze'er, Ji Ping, hurry up, get me in. We need to leave quickly. Now it seems that we can only find a way to reconcile with King Yan first."

Wang Zhuo said anxiously. Ji Ping seemed to have known about this plan for a long time and did not hesitate at all. However, Li Junze asked doubtfully,

"Grandfather, if we leave, have we already explained to everyone that we are defectors?"

If this is true, then if they want that position in the future, it will be illegal.

Wang Zhuo had no time to explain in detail to him, and simply said, "Let's leave now. What we say in the future depends entirely on our explanation."

Li Junze thought about it and understood. The two of them worked together to put Wang Zhuo into the cave entrance, and then both of them went in.

Ji Ping carefully restored the entrance of the cave to its original state, and the three of them were able to walk in the cave with difficulty.

As they walked further and further, the space below became larger and larger, completely enough for a person to walk upright.

Then they saw a ray of light in front of them, and then they heard someone shouting loudly.

When I walked over, I found that the view in front of me was suddenly clear. There were people imprisoned on both sides of a corridor, and the ones who scolded them were the secret guards patrolling inside.

Some of them heard the noise above, so they started shouting loudly, so the patrolling people were intimidating them.

When they saw Wang Zhuo and Li Junze coming, they all bowed to them.

Wang Zhuo didn't care about these things and simply told the leader, "Quick, take Gu Xunwei with you, we'll leave immediately."

The man agreed and turned to the door of Gu Xunwei's room.

Wang Zhuo, due to his leg disability, felt a piercing pain in his knee. He reached out and pinched it hard, without stopping, he took Li Junze and chose one of the passages.

All the secret guards and some of the guards in the corridor brought Gu Xunwei out as quickly as possible, and then followed the footsteps of several people into the passage.

About another cup of tea later, the battle in the lotus pond was basically coming to an end, and the young man, under the protection of Sang Mo, found the entrance to the cellar.

When Hu Ziping saw this scene, he knew that he had tried his best and most of his men had been killed or injured. He had no choice but to wave his hand and be the first to jump out of the encirclement.
