Zhen's voice was very soft, and she tried her best not to show any fluctuations. She probably said that a tunnel should be dug between the two courtyards facing each other, and Qin Liang could pass through the tunnel to meet each other.
But the look in her eyes and the trivial movements when she swallowed saliva made Qin Liang feel nervous. Zhen said softly: "Is it a sin for me to treat a good wife like this..."
"Bang!" Suddenly the wooden door shook violently, and then the sound of wind howling came from outside. Mrs. Zhen suddenly trembled with fright, with a mournful face.
Qin Liang moved over, gently put his hand on Zhen's shoulder and patted her, "Don't be afraid, it's just the wind."
Zhen's body softened, and she immediately snuggled into Qin Liang's arms, resting her head gently on his shoulder, and said, "Will you be punished by God?"
Qin Liang still had a smile on his face, and thought to himself: It is a crime to involve nobles. Under the majesty of the tall and magnificent palaces and pavilions, how many crimes against the common people are hidden? He said: "If God will care about this kind of thing,
, the world has long been unified."
After a while, Mrs. Zhen calmed down and said: "Actually, we may not necessarily do it, we are just talking about what if. My reputation is not very good, but the wife's reputation is very good, and she cherishes feathers very much. She is very careful.
.”
Qin Liang thought for a while, and actually he could think of other ways. But considering that Queen Mother Guo thought that he didn't know the truth, and seemed to still be hesitant and afraid, as well as other considerations, Qin Liang felt that the matter should be left to Guo
The Queen Mother takes the lead, which will make her feel more secure.
So Qin Liang did not deny Zhen's plan, but just said on this basis: "The rooms in the two courtyards cannot be too far apart, the closer the better, otherwise the tunnel will inevitably deviate and it will be difficult to reach the designated location.
The diggers cannot use Mrs. Zhen's people. Because Mrs. Zhen's entourage knows who owns the yard and participates in the excavation. The more information they have, the easier it is to guess the matter itself. Madam is responsible for arranging the place, and I will find someone to dig.
, and I won’t let them know where the place is.”
Mrs. Zhen asked: "You ask people to come to work and don't even know where they are?"
Qin Liang said: "It's very simple. When we set out in the morning, we put on their hoods, I fastened the flower buckles, and drove the car myself. When we got there, all the doors and windows of the room at the tunnel entrance were sealed and the door was locked. I worked for half a day every day, and I drove the car again at noon.
Come and take them home. The arrangements are made by our own people, and we won't tell anyone about it originally. With this process, everything is guaranteed. They only know that they are digging a tunnel, but they have no idea where the tunnel is or what its function is."
He paused for a moment and then said: "In addition, let the lady's entourage check the yard in front first, and then the lady will go inside to take a nap. Then ask the lady to come through the tunnel, and Mrs. Zhen will stay where she is, so that she can deal with some minor accidents.
Increase fault tolerance.”
Zhen thought for a while: "What should I do if my followers find the tunnel?"
Qin Liang said: "I have a way to check the floor, which is basically to knock and listen for the sound; we can just make the bottom of the exit floor solid and put some furniture on top to cover it up."
Zhen was silent for a while and couldn't help but look up at Qin Liang's face: "You are willing to do that kind of thing?"
Qin Liang thought to himself: I still want to ask, how dare someone as timid and cautious as the Queen Mother do this?
He said calmly: "Last year, Madam helped me a lot by speaking kind words in front of His Highness. I didn't do anything for Madam that could be considered as repayment. How about I just clear everything this time?"
Mrs. Zhen nodded slightly.
The two stopped talking about digging tunnels for the time being, and just knelt down together quietly. Qin Liang slowly raised his hand, put the back of his fingers on Zhen's cheek skin, stroked it downwards, and pinched the hair hanging from her temples.
A strand of black hair fell down, and the back of her fingers flicked along her ears. Mrs. Zhen said she was a widow, but in fact she was less than thirty and had never given birth to a child. If she were to be called a girl in future generations, she could still be called a girl.
"Huh!" Mrs. Zhen let out a long sigh, tilted her head and rubbed his hand with her face, then reached out and grabbed Qin Liang's finger, and the two looked at each other.
But the atmosphere today was a little weird, because there was a real howling of wind outside the door.
... Within half a month, Mrs. Zhen had already arranged a place.
Qin Liang woke up before dawn. He gently took away Wang Lingjun's bare arms and got up from the couch. Wang Lingjun couldn't get up so early, except for those days when she was feeling unwell.
After cleaning up, he found a willow branch soaked in a wooden barrel outside the door, dipped some mixed powder in it and brushed his teeth for a while. Then he went to the stable inside the gate of the mansion, picked up the carriage, and drove back to Qin.
Home yard.
Qin Liang thought to himself: I will move home in two days and live there for a while.
Entering Lejinli, Qin Liang drove the carriage into the yard. By this time, Wang Kang and Rao Dashan had already gotten up. They walked down the eaves and bowed to each other.
"Let's go." Qin Liang said.
The three of them entered the tailgate of another carriage, and Qin Liang took out the hoods and put them on their heads, and then tied the knots with his own hands. Neither of them said much, let alone any words of confidentiality. All of this
The process is enough to illustrate the degree of caution involved in this matter.
Qin Liang got out of the tailgate of the carriage, walked to the front, and put on his hat.
The carriage traveled a complicated route in the city and arrived near Zhen De's residence. But the courtyard Qin Liang entered was not on the street of Zhen's residence, but behind a villa. The front door faced a secluded and narrow street.
In the alley, if there is a carriage coming from the opposite direction, it is probably not easy to miss it.
Qin Liang silently drove the carriage to the stable in the yard, then took Wang Kang and others out of the car, and took off their hoods. Qin Liang took the two of them, picked up tools, kettles and other items, and went inside
Go to the upper room, walk through a door, and then enter a back room, which is close to the back wall of the yard.
After closing the two doors, the inner room was dark and the light was very weak. There were no windows in this room, and there was a low attic above. It was difficult for light to penetrate into the room through the cracks in the beams and tiles. Qin Liang made trouble
After a while, the oil lamp was lit.
"I am not the only one who has the final say on some matters, in order to make the partners feel at ease." Qin Liang said simply.
Wang Kang said: "Whatever you ask your servant to do, you will do it willingly."
Rao Dashan said: "Qin Jun knows that I am not very capable and loyal."
Qin Liang smiled and said: "Assuming you are self-aware, remember what I told you at the end of last year: don't be lazy when you have time."
After that, he pointed to the ink circle on the ground and said, "Today we will dig down first and move the soil out to put in sacks. The tunnel to be dug is not long and the work is not a lot. It can be done slowly and does not need to be done every day. There is no need to dig too much into the tunnel.
It's wide enough to allow one person to lean over, but you have to go up the beam in case of landslide. But I will come with you every time, and I will explain slowly when the time comes, and there are also hammers, rulers and other things to teach you how to use."
The two of them bowed and said, "Here."
Qin Liang said: "I will drive to pick you up at noon."
Wang Kang and Rao Dashan had official positions in the School Affairs Office, but they had often neglected their official duties before and often paid no attention to Qin Liang's private affairs. So as long as they went to the School Affairs Office from time to time, it was no different from usual.
