Sir, I can do it!

Wu Ze hurried to the Hong Mansion with an anxious expression on his face. "Lu Zhan has been arrested and brought to justice."

Most of the trafficked women transported by the Lu family to and from various places were taken by the Wu brothers.If Lu Zhan confesses, the Wu brothers must be convicted.This is a ready-made handle to be delivered to the door, not to mention that Li Huai has been thinking about Wu's water transport early in the morning.

Wu Ze's eyes turned cold: "Supervisor Hong, why not kill Lu Zhan."

Hong Kun was silent for a while, calmed down, and shook his head.

Every water transportation company has its own secrets. If it only relies on legitimate freight transportation, it may not even be able to support its brothers.Therefore, every family will take risks to transport contraband.This has long been a tacit secret, and Li Huai knows it very well.The reason why he didn't take this as an excuse to deal with Hong Kun and seize Wu's water transport was because his lips were dead and his teeth were cold.

Once this start is made, all the water transportation companies are panicked, and who knows what will happen.Although Li Huai was more ruthless and more aggressive than Emperor Wu, he lacked a bit of courage.Once the fundamentals are involved, he will be vacillating. The water transportation in Shengjing is of great importance, and he dare not gamble.

"If the person behind is going towards Lu Zhan, we still have a chance to get out. Wu Ze, you go back to the Chihuo Hall immediately, clean up everyone involved in this matter, and don't leave any traces. Don't forget, Lu Zhan Prison, someone is more anxious than us."

Wu Ze was just a little relieved, he frowned and said, "I always feel uneasy."

Hong Kun stroked the jade wrench finger, and said for a while: "Be prepared, if you find out that the situation is different, give up everything and withdraw to Jeju."

Wu Ze was shocked: "Has it really reached such a serious point?"

Hong Kun sullenly said, "Shengjing City is too chaotic recently, be careful."

The red tiled roof of Wangyue Tower is very coquettish under the rain curtain, like a demon tower standing in the night rain, swallowing and breathing silently.

Bean-sized raindrops slapped on the face, and there was a fishy smell in the moist air.

Wei Zhao didn't like this kind of rainy day, it was so dull that he couldn't breathe.

Zhan Yi jumped up and landed quietly behind Chang Sun Ke: "My lord, there is nothing in Moonwatching Tower."

Changsun Ke was standing side by side with Wei Zhao in the corridor, and turned around and entered the lobby upon hearing this.

After two dynasties, Wangyue Tower has been vacant for decades, and the lobby looks dilapidated.The carved lacquered columns are mottled, and the spaces and corners between the columns are densely covered with cobwebs.Even so, the grand decoration can still see the prosperity of Mochizuki Tower in the past.

After the Wangyue Building was vacant, it was sold out twice, but each time the businessmen who were sold out suffered a terrible death.Therefore, Wangyue Tower basically maintained the whole picture of Chu Dynasty.

On the left hand side of the door is the counter. The abacus placed on the counter is covered with dust, and the jade abacus beads have stagnated, and they can no longer make a clear and pleasant sound.

Tables and chairs are scattered in the lobby on the first floor, and the stale smell fills the nose.Wei Zhao sneezed in some discomfort.

"Subordinates checked twice, and found no hidden passages in the agency." Zhan Yi's voice sounded a little empty.

Wei Zhao slowly shuttled between the tables and chairs, seeing ruins everywhere he looked.

"It's true that no one has been here for a long time."

Changsun Ke said: "According to Guanshi Meng, he is only responsible for transporting people in and out of the secret road, and occasionally is responsible for arranging identities for these women so that they can be sent to various mansions. He knows that the situation at Moon Tower is ominous." , but the sound of torture can often be heard in the middle of the night.”

Wei Zhao turned around and went up to the second floor: "Shopkeeper Ding and Xiao Wu also said the same, there must be someone in Wangyue Tower."

Changsun Ke took the lantern from Zhan Yi and followed behind Wei Zhao.

The second floor is a private room, the layout is similar to the private room in Fanlou.The two looked at each other, and there was nothing unusual.There are private rooms on the third floor, which are mostly used by dignitaries.The elegant room is a suite, the outer room is for banquets, and the inner room is for guests to rest.

Wei Zhao stopped in front of a screen: "As expected of the famous Wangyue Tower, the picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water on this screen was made by Wu She, who was very famous at that time, and Wangyue Tower was able to invite him to paint. Wu She's paintings are passed down every day. One copy is a treasure, and the war at the end of Chu has caused many to be lost. Every time Wu She’s paintings appear, they are rare. It is conceivable that this screen will cause an uproar among those literati circles if it appears in the world.”

Wei Zhao doesn't know much about painting, but Wei Xi does, and Lu Chengyi also loves collecting paintings.There is a picture of Wu She's Spring River in his home.

Changsun Ke is not a literary artist, but he knows that this screen will be very valuable.He made up his mind to ask Zhan Yi to carry him back to Nanfu.Looking around, well, all the things in the private room on the third floor can be carried back, but it is not a small fortune.

Wei Zhao just sighed, he never forgot the purpose of coming.Seeing that there was nothing on the third floor, he pondered for a moment.Manager Meng and Shopkeeper Ding both heard the movement, so the place where the woman was detained should not be far from them.Or... just underneath.

A well suddenly appeared in his mind, and he raised his eyes to look at Changsun Ke: "Have you ever seen a secret passage hidden under water?"

With a thought, Changsun Ke dragged Wei Zhao downstairs in a hurry.

The pavement and candied fruit shop of Huichuntang are adjacent to Wangyue Tower, while the place for people to sleep is in the backyard.If Manager Meng and Shopkeeper Ding heard a sound, it probably came from the backyard.But the backyard had already been turned upside down by Zhan Yi, otherwise they wouldn't have gone to Wangyue main building to investigate.

The rain was getting heavier outside, the heavy rain stirred up mist, the lanterns flickered, and nothing could be seen beyond a step forward.But Wei Zhao clearly remembered the well.

When he was tied up, the boy passed by the well with his back on his back.He saw that the mouth of the well was glowing, dark and gloomy, like the bloody mouth of a giant beast, and thinking about it made people feel creepy.

Zhan Yi stepped forward and squatted by the well to explore. The rocks on the well wall were slippery with moss, and the well water was a bit cloudy due to the heavy rain.

"Wenyu was drowned in this well," Wei Zhao said.

Changsun Ke walked a few steps out along the mouth of the well, and the majestic and heavy rain fell, and the bluestone floor aroused bursts of water.It has been in disrepair for a long time, and the ground has long been uneven, forming dozens of puddles of various sizes.Five paces from the edge of the well was a large depression.Usually it is not obvious, but after the rainwater accumulates, it contrasts with several small puddles around.This place is at the root of the wall, and over the wall is the Hall of Rejuvenation.On the left side of it is an old pagoda tree, which has been around for a long time. If you watch it from the opposite side, this tree can just cover the mouth of the well.

Before that, there had been dead men guarding the Moon Tower, and outsiders were not allowed to get close.Changsun Ke was afraid to scare the snake, so he only asked people to pay attention outside the Moon Tower, so he never noticed this difference.

He squatted at the water resistance and tapped it with the hilt of his sword.Even with the roar of thunder, a dull sound can still be heard.He avoided the puddle and knocked on the left and right sides.On the left side leading to the backyard, a dull echo can be faintly heard.And the right side leads to the main building of Wangyue, and there is no dull sound.

"The entrance is here." Continuous raindrops fell down the coir raincoat, reflecting his slightly cold eyes.

Wei Zhao raised the lamp and looked up: "How do I get down?"

The corners of Changsun Ke's lips tightened: "You have to find an agency."

"If the entrance is here, I think the mechanism should be not far away." Wei Zhao said and set his eyes on the well again.

"This is the well." Zhan Yi said, "The moss at the mouth of the well has been scratched. The mechanism should be located in the well."

Changsun Ke nodded: "Go down and check."

Zhan Yi took off his coir raincoat and slid down from the mouth of the well.He propped up the mouth of the well with both arms, and just entered the well with his legs. When he stepped down, he found the wooden shuttle nailed to the wall of the well.The well wall is smooth, and the wooden shuttle is used for people to step on and climb.After two steps of the wooden shuttle, the whole body has been submerged in the well water, and there is nothing under the feet when it is lowered.Zhanyi knew it was here.

The mechanism is set in the well, which is already extremely secretive, so there is no need to set up a maze to hide it.Then the mechanism must be within reach of both arms.Zhan Yi stretched out his left hand to grope to one side, and sure enough, he touched a protruding stone on his half arm.He twisted hard, and the clear grinding sound came along the well wall.

Outside, Wei Zhao saw that large puddle shook, and then the bluestone slabs gradually separated to the sides, revealing a square entrance.

Changsun Ke left a few people to guard the entrance, turned around and went down the stone steps.The stone steps at the entrance are narrow and narrow, and after walking the stone steps, there is a wide corridor. With Chang Sun Ke's height, he can just stand up straight.

He guarded Wei Zhao behind him, and pulled out the Muhan sword. When the sword was unsheathed, a hidden weapon flew in the air. Chang Sun Ke swung the sword to block it, and the hidden weapon was deeply nailed into the wall.

"They haven't evacuated yet," Wei Zhao said in a deep voice.

Behind them, the Nanfu officials with shields in hand quickly stepped forward, surrounded the two of them, and marched forward step by step.

The smell of blood became stronger as we walked forward, sometimes mixed with the smell of kerosene, but we never heard the woman's cry for help.Wei Zhao's heart sank gradually, could it be that they were still a step too late, those women had already encountered an accident!

The corridor was not long, but under the crazy attack of the opponent, they moved forward very slowly.The other party ran out of hidden weapons, they had already walked out of the tunnel, and the whole picture of the underground secret room was also displayed in front of everyone.

Wei Zhao only felt blood rushing all over his body.He had never seen such a frenzied person, such a bloody and terrifying scene in his life.

On three sides of the secret room are individual cells, a total of fifteen.There is a wooden cross in each cell, and next to the wooden frame are torture tools.Only five of these cells were occupied, while the rest were vacant.

There are different numbers of lanterns hanging on the door of each cell. The surface of the lanterns is embroidered with various patterns, and red candles are burning inside the lanterns, making it dark and eerie.The handle of the lantern glowed red, giving off a cold aura.

The cell was bloody and dark under the red light.In the cell closest to Wei Zhao, the woman's legs were all cut off, exposing the bones.A leg bone had been cut off, and the fracture was polished very smooth. Wisteria was painted on the bone, only half painted.

In another cell, the woman was placed on a large case. She lay prone on it, the skin on her back was peeled off, and a yellowish film formed on her flesh and blood.On the wall opposite her, there is a human skin with a picture of a hundred birds facing a phoenix...

Wei Zhao's eyes were scarlet, and he glared at the person in front of him, his throat seemed to be blocked by a piece of lead, and he couldn't speak a word because of the pain.

When he went to Xiaoxishan Bieyuan to escape the summer heat, Lu Zhan ordered his men to clean up the secret room in the Moon Tower.But there are spies around the Moon Tower, it is easy for them to come in, but it is a bit difficult to transport people out, so they have never succeeded.

After Lu Zhan was arrested, Lu Ding immediately sent someone to destroy this secret room.The quickest way is to use fire, once the fire burns down, there will be no traces.

The fire oil had already been laid, and before they could withdraw, they attracted people from Nanfu.The dead man who led the team was holding a torch, and behind him were four fainted women. The place where the smell of kerosene was the strongest was on the four women.

Once the torch falls, everyone will die in the flames.
