Seeing this, Liu Ben and the old jailer hurried forward and pulled the woman away.The woman was still struggling in the hands of the two, she seemed to be cursing something unclear in her mouth.

"Ahe, listen to Daddy, don't make trouble, don't make trouble. This is the person who came to save you, please stop making trouble." Liu Ben hugged his daughter with all his strength, tears couldn't stop falling.

"Not good! His sleeve is on fire!" The old jailer pointed at Bai Xi and exclaimed.

It turned out that after the oil lamp was knocked down, Bai Xi was choked, and when his hands moved around, he was stained with lamp oil, and was ignited by the flames in the confusion.The two were so busy pulling away the second daughter of the Liu family that they forgot about the oil lamp.

When it was discovered, the fire had already burned along the wide sleeve, and was about to reach Bai Xi's left hand.

The old jailer didn't care too much, and immediately took off his outer shirt to beat the flames.Liu Ben picked up the oil lamp to light it up, but the fire ignited by the oil was not so easy to extinguish.The two hurriedly helped Bai Xi who was already unconscious.

"Young master, young master." The old jailer helped her to sit by the wall, pinching her to wake her up.

Her sleeves had been burned badly, and even her white and tender little left hand was red and swollen from the flames.She touched her neck, and the ninja's left hand was burning hot, and she leaned against the wall to rest.The sleeve of the left hand had burned even the sleeve of the inner garment, so Liu Ben simply rolled up the sleeve of the left hand for her.Under the light, a delicate rouge mole dotted the inside of her slender white arm, only two inches away from the wrist.

"I'm sorry Mr. Wu, my second daughter was a little bit stimulated because of... Hey, she has been a little bit aggressive since then. I want to apologize to you on her behalf."

"It's okay." Bai Xi got up from the ground, still in shock, and said coldly.

"Princess!" An old man in the prison suddenly stood up and pointed at Bai Xi and shouted, "Princess An Ning!"

Liu Ben hurried over to help the old man sit down: "Mr. Wu, forgive me, this is my father. He was a young general in the frontier army decades ago. When he was traveling south in clothes, his father was also with the army, and his head was injured during the battle. Now people When you get old, your mind becomes more confused."

"What did you say!" Bai Xi was suddenly agitated, ignoring the burning pain in his hand, and grabbed the old man, "Grandpa, what did you say! You said Princess Anning just now? You know her!"

"Impossible, impossible." The old man waved his hands and backed away again and again, "You are already dead! Don't come to pester me, no, no, you are not her! You are not! Don't pester me...I don't know anything! It's none of my business." He retreated to the wall, curled up against a child from the Liu family, trembling like a child who had made a mistake.

"Nephew Wu, please forgive me, my father has always been like this, and his mind is confused." Liu Ben hurriedly smoothed things over.

"Young master, young master, let's go, we have to change shifts." Ning Hu actually went straight into the dungeon, holding her with one hand.

Bai Xi wanted to ask something more, but seeing Ning Hu's anxious eyes and the crouching old man of the Liu family, he had no choice but to leave.On the way home, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she must rescue the Liu family.

Chapter 20 Discovery

Ning Hu led the carriage back.

There was no curfew in Jinling, so he avoided passers-by at night along the way, and arrived at the back door of the son-in-law's mansion quietly.Holding the burned robe, Bai Xi quietly slipped into the house through the back door.After thinking about it, she really couldn't pack the robe. After looking around in the yard, she finally hid it in a mahogany box of her own.

Because the sleeve of her left hand was burned, her hand was red and swollen like a pig's trotter.Fortunately, Ninghu was extra careful that night and went to the pharmacy to buy burn medicine for her.Bai Xi hid in the room and applied the medicine with a small wooden chip, but in the end he couldn't stand the pain, so he applied it hastily.

On the second day, Bai Xi said he was sick and did not go to Tianyi Academy.She asked the book boy to return Wu Yu's academy ID card, and with the help of herself, she bought off the guards of Liu's house and entered Liu Ben's backyard.

"Master, the backyard is here."

"It's such a big yard. The Liu family master is just a guerrilla general. Living in such a deep house and compound, it can be seen that he has a lot of greed." She sighed here.

"The courtyard of Changning Prince's Mansion is much bigger than this." Ning Hu said.

"Not only is it big, but it's also full of aunts. There are more people who have met but never met than in the emperor's harem." She spat at her father, and immediately diverted the topic. Take a look, I guess it's here."

Ning Hu didn't dare to talk about King Changning's private affairs with her, so he just concentrated on looking for the cellar, and the two guards who followed him also lowered their heads and pretended not to hear.Bai Xi wrapped his left hand with a handkerchief and walked behind them.

According to Master Liu's instructions, the two searched furtively in the backyard for a long time, and finally found the door to the basement that Liu Ben mentioned.The life-saving basement was quietly hidden under the cover of a clump of flowers and trees.She hurriedly beckoned Ning Hu to pull the doorknob.Ning Hu and several guards worked together to open the door of the cellar.

The secret door that had been covered in dust for a long time was opened by the blast, and the gray smoke rose, revealing the deep tunnel.

"Go down and have a look."

Bai Xi covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, and fanned the ashes with his right hand.

Ning Hu took a candle to light the way, and the two went into the cellar.The air in the cellar was cloudy, making it difficult to breathe, and even the flames of the candles became weak.

"My lord, here you are."

The basement was not as big as expected, and there was a dusty table inside.Ning Hu put the candle on the table, and the account books that Liu Ben mentioned were on the table, already covered with a thin layer of dust.In the inkstone next to the account book, the ink has dried up, and the remaining ink of the brush has condensed together, and the tip of the brush has become a hard awl.
