Chapter 215： Chamber of Secrets

Chapter 215 The Chamber of Secrets

Yu Chaoyun's eyes contained a dark look, but his face was always gentle and submissive, and he advised: "Auntie, don't worry, it's not just our Yu family involved in this matter."

As she said, she carefully paid attention to the reactions of Madam Yu and Mrs. Yu, and saw Madam Yu staggering back to sit back.

right. Yu's eyes widened slightly as if he had just woken up from a dream, and told himself not to panic.

This matter has not yet reached a dead end, and their Yu family is not alone.

The reaction of the two elders verified the speculation in Yu Chaoyun's heart, and her heart sank again.

Yu Chaoyun bit his lip again, and said softly: "Besides, there is still my uncle. If my uncle comes forward, the uncle will be fine."

Yu took a deep breath, and his mood gradually stabilized.

Yes, I can't be messed up because of Gu Yanfei.

She is a British duchess, and she also has a British government.

The British public holds a heavy army, and the emperor will not lose face!

Yu picked up the tea just served by the servant towards the clouds, wiped the tea temperature, and sent it to Mrs. Yu's hand thoughtfully, saying, "Auntie drink some tea to moisten her throat."

"What are these Jinyi guards looking for?" She inquired carefully, looking out of the hall through the window.

Seven or eight Jinyi guards were busy, beating and spying everywhere with their scabbards, and carefully searched every place they passed, pavilions, pavilions, flowers and rockeries...

Looking at Jin Yiwei's posture, he seems to want to dig three feet into the ground.

This house is only the temporary residence of their Yu family in the capital. The master who lives here is not only her and the eldest uncle, but also the eldest aunt. It's just the three of them, so what else can Jinyiwei look for?

Shi Yu also followed Yu Chaoyun's gaze and looked outside the hall, his pupils shrank slightly, and he also realized that Jin Yiwei seemed to be looking for something.

Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Yu did not speak, and occasionally looked at each other uneasy.

Yu Chaoyun carefully asked again: "Aunt, aunt, uncle will be okay?"

Yu lifted her eyelids, and her icy eyes met Yu Chaoyun's tentative gaze. Of course, she understood this niece's little thought, and sneered: "Sister Yun, don't forget, your surname is Yu."

"If the Yu family is in trouble, you will be convicted together!"

"If the family taught you from a young age, you must always remember that there is no end of eggs under the overturned nest."

"You're not married yet!"

Yu Shi's word and sentence stabbed towards Yu Chaoyun like a knife, Yu Chaoyun's face suddenly became unsightly, and her lips were a little white from her bite.

Yu Chaoyun wanted to explain a few words, but under Yu's insightful eyes, any explanation seemed so pale and weak.

There was another rush of footsteps outside the hall, and a square-faced Jin Yiwei quickly ran towards He Lie who was standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, shouting excitedly:

"Commander, figure it out!"

"Girl Gu has already figured it out!"

Hearing Jin Yiwei mentioning Gu Yanfei again, Mrs. Yu almost jumped up from the chair, but could only sit still, trying to calm down.

The square-faced Jinyiwei who came to report the letter said something to He Lie, He Lie nodded slightly, and suddenly turned his head to look at Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Yu, who happened to be looking at Mrs. Yu from a distance.

A dense bead of sweat oozes out from the back of Mrs. Yu's neck, soaking her shirt, and a thought that made her tremble came to her mind: Could it be...

Mrs. Yu also thought of a place with her, and called out in a trembling voice, "Second sister!"

Both aunts and sisters were shivering and their limbs were numb.

After He Lie instructed Fang-faced Jinyiwei a few words, the Fang-faced Jinyiwei said loudly, "Leave four people here to guard, and everyone else will come with me!"

The guards in Jinyi who had been searching the courtyard heard the sound, and they all followed He Lie toward the northwest of the house.

In the hall at the back, Mrs. Yu stood up from her chair in a gaffe and bumped into the coffee table next to her, but she didn't notice it.

He Lie and his party didn't care what the Yu family thought, they went all the way to a rockery in the small garden on the northwest side of Yu's house.

Square-faced Jin Yiwei shouted to his colleagues: "Search carefully, don't let any corners go away, Miss Gu said, the secret room is in the rockery."

The Jinyi Guards were all experts in search, and immediately dispersed, and searched the rockery from the corners.

"Found it! The agency found it!"

"There's a secret door here."

After a while, a high-pitched male voice sounded excitedly.

He Lie heard the sound and walked away, was led into a dark rockery cave by his subordinates, and walked around to a cramped corner.

Jin Yiwei, who led the way, pointed to a secret door five or six feet in front of him and said, "Commander, when my subordinate just knocked here, he found that the back was hollow, so he managed to open it."

There was a dark area behind the secret door, and a cold and musty smell came from the nostrils.

No one has entered the secret room, just waiting for He Lie.

The square-faced Jin Yiwei quickly brought up an oil lamp, and after seeing He Lie's wink, he took the oil lamp and walked in first.

A group of Jinyiwei filed through a narrow stone staircase and descended.

In the dim yellow and jumping firelight, it can be seen that the stone walls on both sides of the passage are covered with cobwebs, and the ground is full of dust.

The further down you go, the more humid and cold the air below, with a faint smell of fish.

"Commander, it seems to have a **** smell." Fang-faced Jin Yiwei moved his nose and rushed down the stone steps at a faster pace.

After walking down more than 20 stone steps, they came to a dark secret room. The roof of the secret room was not high, as if it was about to touch the top of the head. The surrounding walls were mottled, and the smell of blood in the air was thick again. a bit.

The square-faced Jin Yiwei looked around with the oil lamp in hand.

I saw that the floor of the secret room was covered with tattered straw mats, and on the straw mats lay children in their teens, men and women, some beggars in tattered clothes, and some ordinary children in coarse cloth clothes. With his eyes closed and in a coma, there are at least a hundred people.

Several of the children were injured, and bloodstains could be seen on their wrists and legs.

"Found it!" Fang-faced Jin Yiwei shouted in a high voice, "The lost children are all here."

Even though Jinyiwei has seen many big scenes on weekdays, he has also had many lives on his hands, and he admits that he is cold-hearted, but he is still a little touched at this moment.

So many children are just about to die in this dark place.

Behind   , other Jin Yiwei also entered this dark secret room through the stone steps one after another.

Thinking that there are younger siblings of the same age at home, Fang-faced Jin Yiwei felt a bit of anger and strode forward...

"Boom!"

A dull crash sounded.

The people in the rear watched helplessly as that square-faced Jin Yiwei was bounced out of thin air, and the whole person stumbled back and fell to the ground.

It was as if an invisible man had whipped him and sent him flying.

The scene in front of me was so bizarre that everyone else was stunned.

The square-faced Jin Yiwei covered his forehead in pain, and said in surprise, "I, I seem to have bumped into something..."

There is clearly nothing in front! The other Jin Yiwei were horrified and looked at each other in shock.

Soon someone boldly stepped forward and swayed their scabbards in mid-air, making sounds of "dong, dong" one after another.

"There seems to be a wall ahead." A voice said uncertainly, unable to hide the shock, "An invisible wall."

"Commander, is this a ghost hitting the wall?!"

Another person immediately retorted: "Ghost hitting the wall is not like this!"

The Jinyi Guards were not idle either. They raised their hands again, and kicked their feet to touch the air. They were convinced that they could not go any further.

They and the children in front of them were obviously only half a zhang away, but they seemed to be blocking an invisible wall.

This is something I've never seen before, only heard in those kind of country ghost stories.

"Gaoyuan, you go back to report the situation to the emperor immediately." He Lie immediately ordered, with his eyebrows deeply locked.

The Jin Yiwei named Gaoyuan responded, and hurriedly walked back on the stone steps.

Immediately afterwards, another tall and thin Jin Yiwei shouted from the direction of the east wall: "Commander, look here."

He Lie walked over quickly and looked in the direction his subordinate pointed.

On the mottled wall, there are dark brown pattern symbols drawn one after another. These patterns are extremely strange, revealing an indescribable evil spirit.

The tall and thin Jin Yiwei frowned and said, "Commander, this subordinate looks at these lines as if they were drawn in blood."

The world knows that Jinyiwei is good at torture, and the cells and prisons in the prison have decades of old bloodstains, and the smell of blood and rancidity is lingering.

So he saw it at a glance.

He Lie also saw it out, he couldn't help feeling chills, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

He Lie held the scabbard in one hand and walked slowly around the wall for half a circle. All the walls were painted with strange lines.

He didn't dare to move the wall, for fear that there was some kind of evil here, and if it was self-defeating, it would not be beautiful.

He Lie walked around the secret room twice and then withdrew.

The secret room is dark and damp, and the garden outside is bright and sunny, like two worlds.

He Lie sat down in the pavilion next to the rockery. Some subordinates served him tea, and some subordinates came to report from time to time. For example, they caught a few servants of the Yu family who were trying to abscond. For example, all servants in Yu's house were all gone. It was held in the west wing, for example, the whole house has been searched, and no other secret rooms have been found.

He Lie drank several cups of tea, and finally heard another movement at the entrance of the garden, and heard Gao Yuan's respectful and almost flattering voice from a distance: "Second girl Gu, please, be careful this road is slippery. ."

He Lie was suddenly startled, got up quickly, and greeted him in the direction from which the voice came.

Not far away, Gu Yanfei walked leisurely here under the guidance of the plateau.

"Second Lady Gu." He Lie politely clasped his fist at Gu Yanfei and said in awe.

He asked Gao Gao to report to the emperor, with the intention of asking Gu Yanfei for instructions, but he did not expect her to come over in person.

"Please, Lord He, show me." Gu Yanfei also bowed his hands to He Lie, smiling lightly and behaving casually.

Yu Si, the head of the Yu family, has been taken down and taken to Chengtianmen to be personally tried by the emperor. There is nothing to do with Yanfei there. She originally wanted to come to the Yu family to see, but Gao Yuan reported on the matter of "ghost hitting the wall". came with him.

He Lie laughed a little more earnestly. Not only did he not think that Gu Yanfei's etiquette was wrong, but he also thought that such a master should naturally behave in such an informal manner.

"Second Lady Gu, go this way." He Lie led Gu Yan to the rockery and said, "Those children are all in the secret room, and I have ordered my subordinates not to act rashly."

The two passed the secret door and stepped on the stone steps into the secret room below.

Jin Yiwei has placed several torches in the secret room, which illuminated the originally dark secret room brightly, and the dark brown lines on the walls became clearer.

At first glance, these lines seem to be doodled at random, but at another glance, the lines seem to contain some kind of strange power, as if snakes are swimming, with a sense of horror as a group of demons dance.

Gu Yanfei touched his chin and looked at the lines, then frowned.

Seeing her frowning, He Lie knew: Sure enough, this is not a good thing!

"Second Lady Gu, what is this?" He Lie asked cautiously.

The other Jinyiwei guards in the back also pricked up their ears, but just staying here, they felt their hairs stand on end.

"This is a spirit-gathering and borrowing-luck formation." Gu Yanfei pondered, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped it on the pattern on the wall, and sniffed again, "This formation has been activated at least three times. ."

He Lie and the other guards in Jinyi were startled when they heard this, and they thought about it. It seemed that countless dead souls were buried here, and the surrounding air became more and more gloomy.

He Lie calmed down and couldn't help but ask, "Every time you start the battle, does it mean that you have to sacrifice the lives of 200 children?"

Gu Yanfei casually walked a few steps in the secret room with his hands behind his back, turned his head to look around, looked straight at the children on the straw mat from the pattern on the wall, and walked in their direction.

Gao originally wanted to remind her that there was a "wall" in front of her, but when she saw that Gu Yanfei had already stopped, it was as if she could see the transparent wall in front of her.

She squatted down slowly, looked at the children lying motionless on the straw mat in front of her, and said, "Children's minds are pure, and they often don't have too much cause and effect. spirit'."

"Next step, this array will 'borrow' from lucky people."

"Gather spirits first, then borrow luck?" He Lie murmured thoughtfully.

"Yeah." While speaking, Gu Yanfei stood up and looked at He Lie, her eyes glowing dazzlingly clear under the surrounding firelight.

"There are always some people in this world who are naturally lucky." Gu Yanfei pointed at He Lie casually, "Just like you, Mr. He."

he? ! He Lie's body stiffened, and he instantly felt an uncomfortable feeling that his soul and even his destiny were being seen through by the other party.

All other Jin Yiwei's eyes were drawn by her, and they looked at He Lie with a strange look, which made him feel chills inexplicably.
