Tragically favored by the famous group

Chapter 12 Secret Room Interrogation

Feng Siyu vaguely remembered that he came here to help Chi Xin heal his wounds, and then talked about Jiangnan about the Chi family, but how did it develop into teaching him the rules of the Feng family?

Feng Siyu became more helpless and irritable for no reason.Everything deviated too much from what he expected, the closer he got to Chi Xin, the more he talked, the more doubts he had.

It stands to reason that the Chi family is also a well-known martial arts family in the south of the Yangtze River, so it is impossible to fake it enough to send a double as a slave.So if Chi Xin is really the fourth son of the Chi family, has he been treated as a servant since he was a child?Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to be a submissive and willing slave like before, right?

Feng Siyu forced herself to be calm, and after thinking for a moment, she asked, "Chi Xin, are you really determined to be a servant of Feng's family for ten years?"

Chi Xin nodded blankly: "What else?"

How many years would it be better to renew the contract?I heard from other servants before that many people have sharpened their heads and want to send their children to rich families as servants, so that they can live their lives without worrying about food and clothing.The Feng family's treatment is so good, and the castle is so rich, is there a lot of people waiting in line for the opportunity to work?He was lucky enough to get into Feng's family. If he didn't work hard, he would just eat and wait to die, and he would be driven away after ten years.

Back to the even stranger Chi family, how should he deal with himself?If the Chi family found out that he had changed, they would not be favored, and they might be driven away directly.Instead of tossing around like that, it's better to return the money and medicine from the Holy Cult after getting free, and then return to Feng's house and continue to work as a hired worker.

Seeing Chi Xin thinking seriously, Feng Siyu suspected that the other party might really want to be a servant for ten years, which is too incredible.Just when he was about to test a few more words, someone outside suddenly said: "My lord, the old lady invites you to come over."

Feng Siyu was taken aback, it was not surprising that grandma knew what he was doing in the mansion, but usually it was so late, grandma had already gone to bed and rested, and she would definitely not see anyone if there was anything urgent.He is not a child anymore, he rests late at night, and no one at home will control him.Then call him over now, there must be something urgent to tell him.

The person who came was Grandma's confidant, he didn't dare to delay, so he had to leave first.

Respectfully sending Feng Siyu away, Chi Xin couldn't hold back any longer, and collapsed on the bed in pain and exhaustion.The master is gone, he doesn't have to rack his brains to answer those strange questions, and he can have more time to rest, which is great.

Feng Siyu entered the old lady's bedroom.

Different from the dignified dress of people during the day, Mrs. Feng only wore ordinary clothes in her bedroom, and looked at Feng Siyu with an amiable expression, just like a loving elder from an ordinary family.

She didn't ask why Feng Siyu took care of Chi Xin, but just stated the facts to him: "It was my idea to arrange Chi Xin's mission today, so don't blame others. I even sent someone to search the room while he wasn't in the room, take a look What's this."

Feng Siyu looked at the paper grandma handed him, on which a pattern was rubbed, and said hesitantly: "This pattern seems to be the mark on the artifacts of the Devil's Cult."

Mrs. Feng nodded with deep eyes: "Yes. Chi Xin hid a small porcelain bottle in his room. It may contain gold-chuang medicine, but the bottom of the porcelain bottle has this pattern carved on it. It's something from the Devil's Cult. , How could he have it? Did you also doubt his identity, so you made a special show of favor and approached him with routines?"

"Grandma, my grandson is suspicious of him, but the Chi family would not send a substitute, and the fire cannot be contained in the paper. Once it is revealed that it is a substitute, how can their Chi family have any face? Even if they do, they must send a replacement." Like a son." Feng Siyu followed the old lady's train of thought and expressed her own opinion.

"I've already arranged for someone to investigate. If it's the young master of the Chi family, how do you explain the medicine bottle of the Devil's Sect? Does the Chi family have contacts with the Devil's Sect, or does Chi Xin have any connection with the Devil's Sect?"

"Maybe it's something Chi Xin picked up by himself."

"Then why did he deliberately hide this porcelain bottle? He brought gold beads, broken silver, and worthless clothes. His room was not locked, and instead of hiding money, he hid a bottle of medicine. Why?"

Feng Siyu had the same doubts as grandma, but tried to excuse Chi Xin, "He may be afraid that the good medicine will be taken away. After all..."

Feng Siyu didn't directly say those words that blamed grandma for being cruel, but Mrs. Feng understood, so she said more gently: "You have always been kind-hearted and considerate of others. You are right. But the clues of the Demon Cult cannot be ignored. I will arrange for someone to interrogate Chi Xin. Your idea is good, just pretend to continue to make friends with him."

"Grandson understands." Feng Siyu didn't dare to say that she really wanted to make friends with Chi Xin, for fear that grandma would get angry.Since grandma has similar thoughts, he will have more reasons to take care of Chi Xin in the future.But regarding the interrogation, he couldn't bear it and said, "Grandma, Chi Xin's wounds haven't healed yet, how do you want to interrogate him? He won't be able to bear the torture anymore."

"Don't worry, I have my own way, and I won't let him die in Feng's house."

Chi Xin woke up again, it was already morning, and he could still hear the sound of people going to work in other yards.He thought he could wake up sooner.It was too late to apply the medicine, so he hurriedly washed his head and face.The clothes on his body, blood condensed on the wound, and it would definitely not work to tear it hard.

Just when he was hesitating whether to change into a set of clean clothes before going to work, two guards came in from outside. They moved quickly and broke into his room in a flash.There was no shadow of Feng Zhong or anyone else behind them.

Without saying a word, the guards slashed Chi Xin's neck with a knife.

Chi Xin didn't dodge. In fact, if he wanted to dodge, the moves that the original master had practiced were not difficult to dodge this kind of attack.But he chose to follow other people's arrangements.These two men were wearing waist knives and the clothes of the servants of the Feng family. They probably wanted to take him somewhere so that he could not see the way in and out.He struggled and moved not only to cause trouble for others, but also to get punched and kicked himself.

When he got to the place and was woken up by someone patting him again, Chi Xin felt that he might have entered a secret room.

The dark scene in the secret room inspired a vague memory of the original owner in Chi's house.At that time, the original owner had just been taken back to the Chi family's mansion, immersed in the grief of losing his mother all day long, and because of his natural physical problems, he had not practiced the Chi family's inner skills since he was a child, and he rarely talked with his three elder brothers.

He wanted to escape from Chi's house several times, so he was locked in a secret room.His father gave him a sword manual and came to inspect his practice results every once in a while.If you can't practice well, you will definitely be beaten. If you practice well, you can leave the secret room and go to his mother's cemetery to offer incense.

After being locked up like this for a year, Chi Xin stopped talking about running away from home when he was ten years old, and then he was released from the secret room and let him live alone in a courtyard.However, the courtyard was only cleaned by rough servants. Unlike the rest of the Chi family, Chi Xin did not have other servants to serve him, so he had to do all the trivial things in life by himself.

His father still did not allow him to practice martial arts with other brothers.When the three elder brothers practiced swords, he could only watch from the sidelines.His father forbade him to reveal that set of sword skills in front of others, and often ordered him to copy books in the library alone on the grounds of punishment.On the contrary, there are no strict requirements on what he must learn about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It is good to know a little bit, and never ask about the progress of those studies.

Treating him so differently, in the eyes of others, he would naturally think that Chi Xin was very unfavored, that he was dispensable in the Chi family, and was just doing nothing.

Now Chi Xin's focus is not on those swordsmanship secrets or the injustice suffered by the original owner in the Chi family, but on understanding that wealthy families probably like to build secret rooms.There may be treasures hidden in the secret room, or someone may be locked up alone, or someone may be interrogated in case the wall has ears.

He was taken to such a secret place today, is it the master of the Feng family who wants to ask him something?It's a pity that the original owner didn't know much about the Chi family's affairs, and his memory was even fuzzy when he came here.If asked, he answered speciously, which would definitely arouse suspicion.

Unexpectedly, after a while, it was the old lady who walked into the secret room in person, leaning on the crutch.

As she entered, the surrounding lights became much brighter, and the servants brought comfortable seats for the old lady, and tea and snacks were served at any time.

As for Chi Xin, he knelt down on the blue stone floor upright, with a respectful posture, and he would never dare to speak unless others asked.He could feel that there were four masters hiding in the hidden doors around the secret room, controlling the four directions.The martial arts of these four people are higher than other servant guards on the surface, maybe they are the shadow guards of the old lady.

It seems that the old lady is very solemn this time, and she is bound to win.It's just that Chi Xin doesn't know what he has that deserves such a big battle. He is just the last servant of the Feng family. If you have anything to say, ask a steward, and he will definitely answer truthfully.As the supreme being of the Feng family, Mrs. Feng, Chi Xin thought that only during the festivals would they have the opportunity to kowtow and say auspicious words from afar.

Mrs. Feng didn't intend to go around in circles, and asked in a cold voice, "Chi Xin, why do you have something from the Devil's Cult?"

This question was straightforward, and Chi Xin understood the cause and effect very quickly.

The Feng family must have discovered the medicine bottle he hid.When he went back to the room to get the herbal medicine yesterday, he took a special look at it. The porcelain bottle that he hid in the crack of the wall behind the cupboard was there. He thought it was all right.But it turned out that someone secretly searched his belongings.

If you are a serious young master, you will definitely feel that your dignity has been insulted when you learn that your belongings have been searched in private.Now Chi Xin doesn't have this string at all.Yao Nu didn't have any privacy before. He came to Feng's house as a servant. He didn't think there was anything wrong with the door and the cabinet unlocked. It's normal for his master to rummage his belongings, but he has been found to have hidden some problematic items privately. However, it was himself who was uneasy.

"I don't know what you mean." Chi Xin lowered her head and lowered her eyes to hide her guilt, and her voice of answer was a little less confident.

From the eyes of others, this is the appearance of being wronged but enduring it.
