Chu Shijing's people quickly cleaned up the water in the well. Because they lost face yesterday, they worked extra hard today.

Wang Tong and Liu Sha also came out after searching the house. Seeing that the hard work was already being done, they were unwilling to join in.

Who doesn’t like being lazy? It’s much happier to watch others working than to work yourself.

The people in the well sounded a little excited.

"Sir, there is a secret passage here."

After most of the water was removed, a slightly loose stone was exposed. The stone was moved away, revealing a dark hole.

Chu Shijing said: "Go in and take a look."

Everyone was surprised, and the most surprised one was probably Chu Shijing. His family's house actually had such a secret place. No one knew about it for so many years.

Although the entrance to the cave was dark and looked dangerous, Chu Shijing gave the order and his men entered without hesitation.

The entrance of the cave is not big, and an adult can only lie down and crawl inside. The light of Huozhezi quickly disappears into the darkness.

Everyone waited in fear.

After a while, a dull sound of knocking stones came from the cave.

The people in the well listened carefully, looked happy, raised their heads and shouted: "General, there is no danger inside, there is a secret room."

Chu Shijing waved his hand: "Come in."

So two more soldiers came in.

Chu Shijing turned to Xia Yue and asked, "Master Xia, let me go in first and take a look."

"Okay." Xia Yue said, "I'll take care of you outside."

This was not a case involving the Six Gates. He had no intention of crawling through some secret tunnel in the smelly and dirty mud. If Chu Shijing could handle it himself, that would be the best.

Chu Shijing led people in.

Xia Yue suddenly felt a cold and lonely feeling. He looked around and saw that the four people who were standing next to him just now and looking into the well had disappeared.

Wang Tong and Liu Sha both stood back a little.

Wang Tong explained: "General Chu has brought so many people down, and we are afraid of blocking the way."

Liu Sha nodded.

Ye Caitang and Xie Zhi stood further away.

Xie Zhi said: "I'm just a master."

Ye Caitang said: "I'm just a fool."

We don't want to get into a dirty and smelly mud hole at the bottom of a well. This is not our job.

Xia Yue was very depressed. He looked at Chu Shijing's men just now. There were mountains of military orders. Chu Shijing gave an order without saying a word. They rushed forward with mountains of swords and seas of fire. No one frowned.

Look at the men under him. Each one is running farther than the other, for fear of being caught and stuffed into a well.

Xia Yue laughed angrily at this moment. After laughing, he nodded.

"You are right, General Chu is so capable, we can just support him."

To be a gregarious person, adults who are not gregarious are not good adults and will easily become alienated from others.

Chu Shijing took more than a dozen people with him on this trip, but not everyone went down. There were two left underground and two on the ground. They listened to the conversation of several people and were shocked on the outside and tender on the inside.

It turns out that these are the six fearsome doors in the capital.

Sure enough, a gentle person is not suitable to be the boss, as he lacks dignity.

Everyone waited on the well for a while, and someone came out. It was Sun Jin who had just fished for the jade pendant.

"Master Xia," Sun Jin said, "There is a secret room in the capital. The general said, please go in and have a look."

Xia Yue may have cursed something in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face at all. He just nodded calmly.

Then he looked back.

You are all adults, you can't let me go alone.

Ye Caitang and Xie Zhi both pretended they saw nothing.

Liu Sha and Wang Tong couldn't do it, so they had no choice but to say: "Sir, we will go in with you."

Xia Yue nodded happily: "Okay."

I'll give you both more money next month.

Soon Liu Sha and Wang Tong followed Xia Yue in, and Ye Caitang and Xie Zhi escaped.

Xie Zhi looked at his clothes: "Hey, the money I earned this year is not enough for this piece of clothing. I don't know what secret Master has discovered, but he insists that I come to Liumen to suffer this crime."

Xie Zhi, like Ye Caitang, earns twelve taels of silver a year.

Why do you damn rich people buy such expensive clothes?

Ye Caitang glanced at Xie Zhi and felt that he and he had no common language and had nothing to talk about.

Xia Yue went down and came up very quickly. It only took a short while. Of course, no matter how fast he went, his clothes were already ruined.

A group of clay figures came out of the well, still emitting a stench. Not to mention Ye Caitang and Xie Zhi, even Chu Shijing's men who stayed outside couldn't help but take a step back.

Ye Caitang immediately thought of Uncle Chen. After a while, he went back to change clothes and take a shower. Uncle Chen would definitely doubt his life again.

This is a hot spring resort for vacation, not a garbage recycling center.

But everyone is in good spirits.

Xia Yue got straight to the point: "Down here is a secret room, leading to the mountainside, and there is a hanging ribbon mark."

A few people broke in back then, obviously just for this reason.

Xia Yue said: "There are some scattered empty boxes in the secret room. This is probably where the looted property was once stored."

"And that secret passage, after washing it with water, you can see countless flowers painted on the wall, and there are still red pigments that have not fallen off."

"General Chu and I speculated that there was internal strife in Chuishui, and one of the women rescued Chu Shixuan and took him to the mountainside through this secret passage."

"Because Chu Shixuan was young at the time and was frightened. He might have been in a semi-conscious state, so he couldn't tell the truth from the false. He only remembered a red flower."

This makes sense, but Ye Caitang couldn't help but said: "But why did the person Chu Shixuan saw in his dream have the same face as me?"

Xia Yue spread his hands: "I don't know about this yet, maybe it's because they happen to look alike."

There are many wonders in the world, who knows.

It's also possible that Ye Caitang has a blood relative who he can't beat, and who he doesn't know, but he has blood relatives in his ancestors. It's been passed down from one generation to the next, and it's been passed down to three generations. It's hard to say.

"I'm looking for Jiao Wang, the person who sent you fake drawings." Chu Shijing said: "He must have known a lot after hiding in the mansion for these years. There are also poisons in this courtyard and yesterday's fire, which may have something to do with him.

It’s inseparable.”

Finding the secret room was a huge step for Chu Shijing. Although he was dirty today, he was in a very excited mood.

Of course, he was embarrassed to drag Xia Yue and others along.

This is not a case that was handed over to Liumenmen above, it was just Xia Yue's personal help. Now that I have a clue, I can handle it myself.

Xia Yue said: "If General Chu needs help later, just ask."

The two exchanged a few more polite words.
