With someone suspicious, Xiao Mu stopped asking further questions.
Liu San and Qixi's mission is to guard this place. As for who this person is, they definitely can't tell.
"Except for this person who was driven away, no one has come back, right?" Xiao Mu asked.
"No more, definitely no more!" Liu San quickly replied.
Qixi also nodded.
"Then take me to the secret room now to take a look."
"yes!"
Liu San took Xiao Mu to the backyard.
Qixi stayed where she was and continued to guard the door.
According to the rules, since Qixi sat in this position, he could not move away from the door.
According to the rules of Lingyuan Pavilion, they must be alert at all times and wait for the arrival of the pavilion master at any time.
However, today the real owner of Lingyuan Pavilion has arrived, and Qixi can rarely relax for a moment.
He closed the door tightly and no longer had to pay attention to the people knocking on the door outside.
Xiao Mu followed Liu San inside.
The furnishings in the courtyard were the same as he remembered.
The entire courtyard looks no different from the houses where ordinary people live. If there is any difference, it should be that it has been in disrepair and the courtyard looks a bit old.
After the two of them turned around a corridor, they saw a small artificial lake in front of them.
There are large dry lotus leaves in the lake.
In the middle of the lake, there is a rockery.
A servant came to the shore with a boat, and the two took the boat to the rockery, where someone had already laid a suspension bridge for them.
Walking along the suspension bridge to the shore, there is no place to stay around the rockery.
The servants who rowed the boat moved a stone under the rockery. The originally complete rockery cracked a gap in the middle, revealing the iron door hidden among the stones.
The surface of the iron door is very smooth, except for a dent, and there is no handle.
Xiao Mu took out the seal he got from the bandit from his arms and stamped it against the depression of the iron gate.
There was only a loud rattling noise, and the heavy iron door rose up, revealing a narrow passage.
Inside is where Lingyuan Pavilion stores its treasures.
Liu San stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
Only the master of the pavilion can enter here, and servants are not allowed to enter.
Xiao Mu took two steps forward, but suddenly turned back to Liu San and said, "Go in with me."
"Me?" Liu San pointed at his chin with his finger.
"I still won't go in. I can't break the rules left by my ancestors."
"Rules are made by people. Since I am the master of the pavilion now, if I say you can enter, you can enter."
Xiao Mu insisted.
Liu San's expression changed, and there was some uncontrollable nervousness on his face.
However, he still agreed bravely.
"Since the Pavilion Master has said it, I would rather obey him than be respectful."
Xiao Mu stepped aside halfway, letting Liu San walk in front. The moment they both stepped into the secret room, the iron door outside made a rattling sound again and was closed again.
The light outside was lost, but the secret room was lit up again.
Xiao Mu knew that it was the hundreds of luminous pearls embedded on the wall that were glowing.
The passage leads all the way underground, and it is not until five meters underground that the vision suddenly becomes clearer.
I saw all kinds of boxes piled up in a room of several hundred square meters.
Some boxes were left half open, revealing the golden treasures inside.
Xiao Mu casually opened a few boxes, took a look, and then closed the lids again.
Liu San's body shook every time he closed the box.
After looking around, Xiao Mu walked to a locked box, pulled out the sword from his waist, and cut off the lock with a click.
But when he opened the box, he found that it was empty.
"Liu San, what's going on?" Xiao Mu asked calmly.
"This...I don't know either!" Liu San's temples were already sweating.
"Don't you know?" Xiao Mu changed the direction of the sword tip and pointed it at Liu San.
"The little one really doesn't know!"
Liu San knelt on the ground with a plop, "Pavilion Master, you also know that we people are not allowed to enter the secret room, and without a seal, we can't enter here. Over the years, we have been conscientiously guarding the outside. We really don't know How little there is in it!"
"Don't know? Never come in?"
Xiao Mu showed a mocking smile.
"If you have never come in before, how do you know that you need to raise your steps to come around the corner when you just entered the passage?
If you don’t know where the things inside have gone, why were you afraid just now? "
Xiao Mu's voice was not loud.
But to Liu San's ears, it seemed like it was deafening, and every word struck his heart.
"small……"
He wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Xiao Mu.
"Just now, even a teenage child outside remembered that someone had been here five years ago. Why did you say no when I asked?"
"I... really can't remember clearly at that time!"
"You have been guarding here for ten years, and you have no other mission than guarding the entire treasure house. I don't believe you can remember whether anyone has been here or who they are!"
Xiao Mu said.
"You and him have reached an agreement to steal the things in this library together!"
Xiao Mu said it with certainty.
Liu San's back was covered with tears, and all his clothes were soaked with sweat.
At that moment, he thought a lot.
What he did was discovered.
The Pavilion Master just came back and found out!
There was no time left for him to make amends.
what to do?
If he refuses to admit it, he will definitely find out.
But if he admitted it, would he still be alive?
Liu San pinched the soft sword wrapped around his waist.
If we launch a sneak attack now, what are our chances of winning?
Should we try our best, or should we resign ourselves to fate?
Liu San felt that he must have lived too stable these years, so he reacted so slowly.
He should have taken action earlier. He should have sensed something was wrong when Xiao Mu asked him to follow him.
If he took action at that time, he would at least have the upper hand.
Liu San was in a state of confusion.
Just when he made up his mind and wanted to give it a try, he suddenly heard Xiao Mu say: "When my grandfather asked me to inherit Lingyuan Pavilion, he gave me all the detailed information of everyone in the pavilion. I know your parents. Where is your family?"
Liu San froze when he heard this.
Xiao Mu continued: "Or are you sure you can kill me here? If you are not afraid that I will find your family to settle the matter later, you can give it a try and see who is faster with your sword or mine! "
Without any hesitation, Liu San put his head on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "The villain was blinded by lard, deceived by others, and secretly tampered with the things in this pavilion. Please punish me!"
Seeing that he chose to admit it, Xiao Mu's hand holding the sword relaxed slightly.
"Oh? Since you said you were bewitched by someone, then tell me, who bewitched you?"
Xiao Mu said.
