The light emitted by the silver butterfly in the sky became more and more intense, illuminating the five-foot radius around Liu Ningshi and An Dafang. The long and narrow passage actually became more and more spacious, but the only thing that remained unchanged was that It's the cold breath.
"Ning Shi, look! There is an iron gate ahead!" An Dafang pointed forward with bright light.
Yin Nongdie's body suddenly flickered and disappeared, spinning around the iron door, as if looking for a gap to enter.
"Dong dong dong!" Liu Ningshi stepped forward and knocked with two jade fingers, and a layer of black iron filings fell on the rusty iron door.
"Ning Shi, get out of the way!" An Dafang stretched out his fist and was about to strike at the iron door: "Let me blast this door open."
"No, Brother Da Fang!" Liu Ningshi raised her hand and pressed on An Da Fang's arm: "You are still injured, so you can no longer use your inner energy; besides, dust will fall from time to time on this secret passage, I'm afraid it will It can’t bear the huge force.”
"If not, how can you open this iron door?" An Dafang held the rusty copper ring in his right hand and tried his best to see that the iron door did not move at all.
"Brother Da Fang, please rest for a moment." Liu Ningshi thought for a while, then pulled out the silver hairpin from her bun and slowly inserted it into the pore in the center of the copper ring.
"Crack." In Liu Ning's poem, she held the silver hairpin with her index finger and turned it several times to the left and right. With a crisp sound, a gap opened in the closed iron door.
"Ning Shi, I didn't expect you to have such ability." An Dafang grabbed the edge of the iron door with both hands and pulled hard. Yin Nong, who had been lingering for a long time, rushed in like a butterfly arrow.
"Is this here?" Liu Ningshi entered first, and under the illumination of Yin Nongdie, what she saw was horrifying.
There were two thick iron chains tied to the dark torture rack, which were filled with the smell of decay. Although the flame was not burning in the brazier placed in front of the iron rack, there were still a few pieces of black coal, and a soldering iron was placed on it. A series of torture instruments such as whips, hooks, and ropes were hung on the walls.
"This is a torture chamber, and it looks even more unpleasant than the one in Tingwei's Mansion!" An Dafang saw this scene, and the memory of being tortured in Tingwei's Mansion appeared in his mind, and his whole body trembled.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a cruel place hidden under the beautiful Jifang Pavilion." Liu Ningshi took a deep breath and tried hard to calm the fear in her heart: "Brother Da Fang, look there seems to be someone over there. "
"Huh?" An Dafang looked in the direction Liu Ningshi pointed, and saw a man covered in filth lying on his side. Yin Nongdie changed his agility and liveliness before, no longer flying around in the sky, but towards a person. The gentle girl quietly clung to his dusty blood-stained clothes: "It looks like the time is right."
"Li Shu, you bastard!" An Dafang was filled with resentment when he saw Li Shu, and was furious: "Just pretending to be sleeping there and not getting up."
"Who are you?" An Dafang yelled loudly, causing the lying man to wake up instantly; he shrank to the corner with fear on his face, his hands covering his temples and trembling slightly: "Please, don't kill me!"
"Li Shu? You don't recognize me anymore?" Liu Ningshi looked at Li Shu with bloodstains on his face in surprise, and took two steps forward: "I am Liu Ningshi, and he is An Dafang! We are still in Ye Mansion Have you tried your body skills?"
"Liu Ningshi, An Dafang? What is it? Is it delicious?" Li Shu saw that Liu Ningshi and An Dafang didn't seem to have any ill intentions. He stared at them and giggled.
"Hey! Li Shu, stop pretending!" An Dafang couldn't help but feel angry when he saw Li Shu looking like this. He stepped forward and grabbed his collar: "Tell me! Why are you here?"
"Wow! Hit me! Beat me!" Li Shu actually burst into tears. His IQ looked like that of a three-year-old child: "You are not a good person, I don't like you."
"Brother Da Fang, let go first!" Liu Ningshi and An Da Fang looked at each other. She didn't understand what Li Shu had gone through and why he was like this.
"Don't be afraid, we will take you out of here!" When Liu Ningshi is not naughty, her gentle smile is so friendly and heart-warming that Li Shu, whose eyes were full of fear, suddenly calmed down and obeyed. nodded.
"Ning Shi, there seems to be something wrong with this Li Shu?" Although An Dafang was reckless, he was not a clumsy person.
"Brother Da Fang, he seems to have been mentally stimulated in some way!" Liu Ningshi looked at An Da Fang
said.
"Who is so ruthless and uses such despicable methods?" An Dafang saw Li Shu looking like this, but most of his hatred for him disappeared. He is such a soft-spoken character who doesn't take the hard way.
"Brother Da Fang! Before Ning Shi fell, he seemed to have heard those people saying that you had Fire Seal Silver on your body?" Liu Ningshi gently pointed at Li Shu's sleeping point, and he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"Fire Seal Silver? What is that?" An Dafang looked at Liu Ningshi blankly and asked in confusion.
"Fire Seal Silver is a silver coin exclusively used by the imperial court and will not be circulated among the people." Liu Ningshi explained briefly and asked, "Brother Da Fang, you haven't answered Ning Shi's question yet!"
"How could I have that kind of thing?" An Dafang shook his head and took out a stack of banknotes from his arms: "As for banknotes, the only ones left here are the 20,000 taels that Miss Qingli keeps here."
"Twenty thousand taels, a good amount!" Liu Ningshi carefully counted the stack of silver notes in her hand, and after making sure they were correct, she returned them to An Dafang: "And it's just ordinary silver taels, not fire-seal silver."
"How about Ning Shi? I didn't lie to you." An Dafang took the banknote and put it into his arms again: "I think it's better to think about how to get out of this damn place."
"Leave?" Liu Ningshi's eyes flashed with a look of disappointment, and she fell silent: "If it weren't for some major event, as the head of the pavilion, it would never be possible for two people to come at once. The matter of Huo Yin Yin must not be a fiction; But Brother Da Fang doesn’t know anything about the banknotes, so he has no reason to hide the Fire Seal Silver secretly?”
"Ning Shi, Ning Shi! Why did you suddenly stop talking?" An Dafang couldn't understand Liu Ningshi's thoughts and patted her carelessly.
"Brother Da Fang, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave in a short time." Liu Ningshi turned around and glanced at Li Shu, who was asleep after being tapped.
"Are you afraid that we can't get out with just you and me?" An Dafang raised his fist: "Don't worry, I will definitely make the manager named Zhang pay the price!"
"Brother Da Fang, don't say you are injured now." Liu Ningshi shook her head helplessly. She finally understood why Huan Yu always said he was reckless: "Even if you are not injured, it is not easy to escape with Li Shu intact. .”
"Take this person with you?" An Dafang asked with a displeased look on his face: "This person has done so many evil things, why do you need to take him with you?"
"Ning Shi doesn't like this person either." Liu Ningshi said sternly: "But after all, we have already promised Miss Misu, how can we break our promise? Besides, there are still many mysteries about Li Shu that have not been solved, and Brother Ren has also He needs to be found!”
"Forget it, I can't help you." An Dafang got excited, and the black energy in his body began to flow randomly again. He had to find an open space to lie down and rest: "Ning Shi, you can do whatever you want."
"It seems that there is no other exit from this secret room." Liu Ningshi walked around the torture chamber and carefully checked the walls and torture instruments, but found no clues. "If you want to get out, you have to go back the way you came."
"Ning Shi, don't bother." An Dafang was so worried that he closed his eyes and fell asleep: "Let's rest for a while first."
"Oh, it's finally time to close." In Ziyan Money Store, the waiter saw off the last customer, lazily stretched his waist, and closed the door panels one by one.
"Guest, who are you?" Just as the waiter was about to close the last door panel, his white palms pressed against the wooden board.
"Let Qian Shaojun come out?" The voice of a man in white robe wearing a bamboo hat was so cold that the boy shuddered.
"Yes...Yes!" The boy was so stunned that he forgot that it was already closing time, put down the door panel and ran into the back hall.
"Who wants to see Mr. Qian..." Mr. Jinyi, who has always been gentle and elegant, has a tired look and a hint of sullenness on his face. His several years of experience as the shopkeeper of Ziyan Bank may not be as rich as what he has today.
"Young Master Qian is so arrogant now." The man in white robe wearing a bamboo hat stood coldly in front of the door and said in a cold voice.
"Is it you?" The young man in Jinyi heard his voice and looked at the man secretly complaining in his heart. He slapped the young man in the face with his backhand: "The distinguished guest is here. Why didn't you report earlier? How dare you be so negligent?"
"Me... Me!" The boy covered half of his swollen face and muttered to himself aggrievedly: "
The little one didn't dare to neglect it! "
"Okay!" The man in white robe waved his hand: "Let him go down first. I have something important to discuss with you."
"Go, close the door! The entire village is under martial law. No one is allowed to go near the back hall without my order." The young master in Jinyi glared at the young man, and quickly spread his hands towards the man in white robe: "Please."
Arriving at the back hall, the man in white robe sat on the main seat as politely as Li Hongxi did before, but Young Master Jinyi was more attentive than before, making tea himself and serving it with both hands.
"Qian Shaojun, I'm not here just to drink tea." The man in white robe took off his bamboo hat, let his long hair fall loose, and his pale face revealed that he was the one who attacked Ghost Face and kidnapped Sha'an in Liuhe Village: " Why are there so many informants around the bank!"
"This is a long story. I would like to invite you, sir, to have a cup of tea, and I will give you a detailed report!" Young Master Jinyi calmly bowed to the man in white robe, and then brought Lu Qingli and An Dafang to the bank to exchange money, and Liu Ningshi and An Dafang discovered the conflict with the steward of the pavilion master, and told them everything hidden in the misty sea of flowers.
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" The man in white robe was silent for a while. Seeing that he was silent, the young master in Jinyi could only wait silently and did not dare to say a word.
"It seems that the other side has started to take action!" The man in white robe thought about how long it would take to make a cup of tea, and said in a deep voice: "Qian Shaojun, come over here."
"Yes! In this humble position, I will definitely carry out Sir's instructions." Mr. Jinyi received the instructions from the man in white robes and responded respectfully.
