Chapter 32: The Shocking Secret (1)

Han Mu did not wait for the yamen runners to report to the prefect's house, so he rushed straight to the back hall. Prefect Wang was rarely at ease today, and was standing in the yard looking left and right at a tree of plum blossoms.

Han Mu rushed into the yard like a ghost, and followed the yamen runners who were chasing him and quickly apologized with the prefect.

The prefect Wang didn't care and waved everyone away. Seeing Han Mu staring at him with his eyes bulging, he said, "Why is Nephew Han? Why are you like a monkey who is burning his butt, and you don't care about the rules?"

Han Mu was about to speak, but Prefect Wang reached out to stop him, looking at the plum blossom tree and said, "How about the nephew always makes unexpected comments? This year it is much better than in previous years."

Han Mu was so angry that he was about to explode. At this time, the old guy was still dodging and evasive. He said without caring about the others: "Sir, I am not here to appreciate the flowers. I have something unknown. I want to ask for advice."

Wang Xianzhi sighed, stretched out his hand to rub the rugged branches of the plum tree, and then patted the dirt on his hands before turning around. Su Yan said to Han Mu: "If the heart is dry, the heart is confused, and if the heart is calm, the heart is clear. If a young man wants to achieve great things and avoid some difficulties, this is the first lesson. Impatient in encountering things, isn't your Han Mu's mood currently what you should have?"

Han Mu was scolded by him and suddenly realized that he was too impatient and quickly apologized.

The two old and young people entered the hall to sit down and served fragrant tea. Han Mu told Taishou Wang several times of attack and interrogation of Shen Changhe. Taishou Wang frowned and said nothing.

Finally, Han Mu asked: "Why did the man behind the scenes want this short sword? What did the woman who visited the prefect's mansion come to your mansion that night to steal? What was the purpose of conspiring to kill me and the people around me? Lord Prefect, I think the answer should be answered here."

Prince Wang fell into deep thoughts, and Han Mu looked at Prince Wang for a moment, waiting for the answer.

After a while, Wang Xianzhi sighed and said, "Nephew, it was not that I didn't want to tell the truth before, but this matter was too important. If I told you, I would put you in this huge vortex, which would harm you."

After a pause, Wang Xianzhi continued: "But now, your life has been greatly threatened. If you were not for your deep blessings, you would probably be the wronged soul under the spring. I am willing to tell you this secret, but you need to remember that if you miss a half word, you are not the one who died, and the relatives of the nine clans are implicated, please think about it carefully."

Han Mu looked at Wang Taishou in surprise, his heart was full of stirrings. "What's so serious? If it leaks out, it will involve the nine clans." He couldn't help but hesitate.

The "secret" is actually a burden. All those who keep secrets seem to be walking with heavy packages on their backs. The package that Wang Taishou carries is definitely a huge abnormality. Should he take the heavy package? And it seems that the package is not ordinary pieces, but the ** that will blow himself and the people around him to pieces when they see the light.

Han Mu lowered his head and thought about it, but he couldn't make up his mind. Prefect Wang smiled and savored the tea without urging him.

"I've thought about it, I'm willing to listen to this secret." Han Mu raised his head and said firmly. The current situation is extremely serious, and the invisible hand ambushed in the dark is stifling his happy life step by step. Han Mu dared not imagine how he would face it if the people around him died tragically in front of him.

Since this is the case, it is better to take the initiative, find the mastermind behind the scenes, and seek a positive response.

Prefect Wang laughed and patted Han Mu on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, you are right. From today on, I will be on the same boat as you. Take the sword that caused trouble for me to see."

Han Mu took down the "Long Xiang" hanging from his waist as he spoke. Prefect Wang looked carefully, praised the "good sword" and asked about the woman's appearance and form. Han Mu revealed the situation of saving the mysterious woman that day. Prefect Wang was stunned when he heard the name Su Hongling, saying, "It's Su Junqing's daughter."

Han Mu said: "Who is Su Junqing?"

Wang Taishou said: "Su Junqing was originally a general of General Huan Wen. I had met him several times. He was very heroic and upright, but for some reason he heard that he had been exposed for his communication with the enemy. General Huan was confiscated and his family was imprisoned. I have seen Su Hongling before, but at that time I heard Su Junqing call her Ling'er. I once saw this sword and another sword of the same style hung around Ling'er's waist."

Han Muqi said: "Since the whole family has been jailed, how did Miss Su come to this prefect's mansion?"

Wang Taishou said: "This is the key to the problem, follow me."

Prince Wang stood up and walked towards the back hall, and Han Mu followed closely behind. The two came to the exquisite small garden between the back hall and the front hall. Han Mu came here, and the long corridor connecting the front and back halls passed through the garden, and a curve of the stream under the corridor was clear and shining.

The prefect Wang walked straight to a rugged rockery, reached out to grop in the corner for a while, and saw that the rockery suddenly moved half a meter away to the right, which scared Han Mu.

A black hole was exposed at the bottom of the rockery that was moved away, and a step stretched down from the hole. It turned out to be a secret passage.

The prefect Wang bent down and entered the secret passage first, and Han Mu followed closely. As soon as he entered the cave, a rumble sounded behind him, and the rockery restored and sealed the entrance of the cave again.

The light in the cave was dim and hard to tell at the foot of his feet, Han Mu had to follow Wang Taishou, step by step, step forward. After a turn, Wang Taishou seemed to push open a door, and suddenly there was a bright light in front of him. It turned out that there was a candlestick in the stone wall. The high fever of the white candle made the light in the cave bright, as if it was daytime. Two people dressed in warriors stood straight on both sides.

Han Mu thought: In ancient times, people really, as the book says, people with a little bit of power like to build a secret room or something. Could it be that the prefect of the king brought him to the secret room to see his treasure?

As he was thinking about it, he stepped forward and rushed forward. Prince Wang shouted loudly: "Don't move." Han Mu hurriedly retracted his feet, and used his strength a little harder, and almost sat on the ground.

Prefect Wang said, "There are many mechanisms here, are you afraid of your life?" Han Mu wiped a cold sweat and muttered in his heart: I won't say it long ago. If my life was sent to this secret passage, it would be too unfair.

Prince Wang greeted him, and the two warriors turned around and twisted the candlestick behind him a few times. The sound of "Princess" was heard, and soon they returned to peace.

Prince Wang's sleeves fluttered and he walked around with great strides. The aisle was long and tortuous, and I don't know how many mechanisms were set up. Han Mu was so scared that he walked. I don't know how long he had walked, and there was another door at the end of the aisle in front.
