Xia Pingting and Fu Mingyu's idea of searching the house coincided with Mrs. Dingguo's.
Mrs. Dingguo was also full of joy when she saw Xia Pingting coming for her.
Xia Pingting is very smart. Ever since Wu Yun'er handed over the middle money, Xia Pingting has also been very concerned about the entire Qin Mansion. Every year, the accounts are done neatly, and the family business is also booming, including the farm.
She also took good care of the old, weak and remnant soldiers on board. But she was just too easy-going and had experienced too few trials and hardships.
Mrs. Dingguo Gong felt that although the crisis experienced by Dingguo Gongfu this time was a little more difficult for the entire Qin family, in the long run, it was not entirely without benefits. At least this early outbreak was certainly a good thing for the opponents.
It was a bit hasty, but for Dingguo Gongfu, it was a good opportunity to remove the cancer in the family.
It is better to discover early than late. Even in such a hasty situation, the opponent still caught everyone off guard. If we wait for the opponent to become more powerful in the future, I am afraid that the entire Dingguo Palace will be in catastrophe!
Duke Dingguo ordered all the servants to gather in the front hall, and Nanny Ning checked them one by one, and then asked the chief guard at home to lead a group of guards to search carefully in every yard.
As for Cheng Yun, he went to Fu Mingyu's side.
He also heard from Qi Yunhai that when the fire broke out, Qi Yunhai didn't see Wan Niang in the kitchen, so he couldn't help but ponder for a moment.
"Could there be some secret passage?" Cheng Yun asked. "Has the small kitchen been renovated?"
Fu Mingyu looked at Wu Yuner.
Wu Yun'er thought for a while, "I remember a few years ago, my wife once said that she needed to get an extra stove for stewing soup. At that time, several craftsmen came and worked on the small kitchen for about half a month.
"As soon as she said these words, everyone looked at each other.
"Let's go and have a look at the fire scene!" Fu Mingyu quickly stood up and took Wu Yuner, Cheng Yun and Qi Yunhai to Qingfeng Garden.
Because of Jing Zhaoyin's investigation, a lot of the ruins of the fire scene have been cleared away, and the bodies can even be dug up. The large beams and the like have been moved away, but everything you can see is still black and scorched.
.
"I'll do it!" Qi Yunhai was the first to roll up his sleeves. He saw that the person was lost in his hands. He didn't believe it. Is this late wife really better at Qinggong than him? So he must find out the reason!
Cheng Yun also went up to help. There were some tools such as spades and shovels that had been used just scattered around the fire scene. The two of them started digging out the burned rubble and walls without saying a word. Chen Chen had been following him.
Fu Mingyu's side protected Fu Mingyu, and when he saw this, he silently went to help thousands of people.
Xinrui and Ziyan were lighting the lamp for them.
"Let's wear a cloak to keep out the cold." Seeing this, Wu Yun'er seemed to be unable to help, so she hurriedly went back to the house to find a few more wind lanterns, hung them in places where lights could be hung around, and found another one for herself
He handed the cloak to Fu Mingyu, "I have to worry about my affairs so much."
"What's yours and mine, this is everyone's business!" Fu Mingyu also felt cold, and was not polite to Wu Yuner. She directly put on Wu Yuner's cloak, and suddenly felt that the cold wind was much less.
"By the way, which house does Wan Niang live in?" Fu Mingyu asked.
"Probably here!" Wu Yun'er pointed to a location, "This is the servant's room. It was originally a room for four people. I saw that the wife was not a servant of our family and her craftsmanship was good, so I took out half of the room and gave her a room.
People live in it, and they asked people to build two rooms in the back so that everyone can live more comfortably. Oh, by the way, the time to build these two rooms is basically the time when the wife is cooking the stove, that is, because there are
Mason, that's why he got another stove."
"Are those two rooms?" Fu Mingyu pointed to the back.
"Yes." Wu Yun'er nodded, because the wing room connected to the small kitchen in front was burned down, and instead a row of rooms in the back was exposed. Although it was also smoked black by the fire, at least it was not burned.
The fire spread, after all, there was a small road in the middle.
"Let's go in and take a look." Fu Mingyu called Zi Yan and went to the row of houses at the back together.
If there is something fishy in the kitchen, it is hard to guarantee that it will be gone in the house. After all, it was done at the same time. If someone wants to do something tampering with it... And behind this row of houses is the back wall of Qingfeng Garden.
After entering the house, Fu Mingyu asked Zi Yan to let go and search.
Zi Yan was trained by the Queen Mother, so she was naturally trained to search for things. After Zi Yan searched the first room, there was nothing unusual, so everyone went to the second room.
When they arrived at the second room, Zi Yan could tell at a glance that something was wrong.
"Has the cover of this bed been opened?" She walked over, and Fu Mingyu and Wu Yun'er looked in the direction she pointed. Sure enough, the mattress of a bed next to the window had been opened at a corner... It seemed like
It's like someone didn't smooth the bed in a hurry.
Zi Yan opened the mattress on the bed, revealing a straw mat at the bottom. After lifting the straw mat, there was a kang. But in the corner of this kang, there was an iron plate of the same color as the kang. The iron plate
There is a short rope on it, which should be used to lift the iron plate.
After Zi Yan lifted the iron plate, a hole was revealed inside...
"There really is a secret passage!" Zi Yan picked up the lantern and came over to take a look at it and said. After saying that, she wanted to jump down, but Fu Mingyu grabbed her, "Be careful there is something else underground!"
"I'll do it!" Wu Yun'er's eyes were dark and intense, seeming to be filled with unknown fire.
She has been cowardly for so long that she almost no longer recognizes herself!
These people actually dug secret passages under her nose. She was still confused and worried about those so-called short-lived and famous people all day long, and she couldn't extricate herself from the small Buddhist hall!
I think back then she was the invincible person in the entire Jiangzuo Camp! How could she be reduced to being bullied like this!
"Sister-in-law!" Fu Mingyu was startled and raised her hand to catch Wu Yun'er. It was already too late. She was not as fast as Wu Yun'er. Wu Yun'er dodged and rushed into the tunnel with the wind.
"Sister-in-law, it's okay!" Fu Mingyu was anxious and wanted to jump too, but was held back by Zi Yan. "I'll do it!" Zi Yan also jumped down.
This underground cave is actually quite big. After exiting the narrow passage, there is a secret room!
They were at the end of the secret room. The secret room was filled with the smell of the fire that had just been set on fire. It was very choking. Wu Yuner and Zi Yan both covered their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs.
"Don't worry, Princess, you are waiting above. I will accompany the eldest mistress!" Zi Yan was afraid that Fu Mingyu would come down to join in the fun, so she hurriedly said to Fu Mingyu.
