Chapter 354: See the light of day again

The construction of the secret chamber was nothing more than behind a bookshelf, a cabinet, or under the bed and the floor, but this was the territory of the young leader of Jiangzuo League. It was afraid he wouldn’t adopt such a common method. It was too childish and it wold damage the prestige of Jiangzuo League.

However, in order to be cautious, Uncle Jiang and Jiang Li cooperated with each other, one inside the house and the other outside the house.

Ye Jiayao found something to do and settled down. When you couldn’t change the situation, you could only get used to it and try to find a way slowly. It was no use trying so hard anyway. This was her attitude. If the mountain didn’t come, then she would go there, otherwise she would just stay there.

Suddenly, the iron gate was opened and Ye Jiayao did not lift her head. She was busy writing books and muttered, ” You come just right, the paper is running out, and your master is too stingy. Can’t you send a few more? Or can’t he afford these paper?”

” Second second...”

The voice of surprise was familiar to her. Ye Jiayao looked up, stunned and blinked. She even couldn’t believe this scene. Was she locked up for too long to have an illusion? She always imagined that one day, at some point, a familiar face would rush into this door and say to her ... Ye Jinxuan, come with me....

Looking at second lady’s surprising face , Jiang Li was both excited and sad, he said, “Second lady, now the marquis and young royal highness Jing are all outside, and we have come to save you.”

Ye Jiayao beckoned to him: ” Come here.”

Jiang Li was puzzled but still walked to her.

Ye Jiayao stretched out his hand and squeezed a handful on his arm: ” Does it hurt?”

Jiang Li became even more puzzled and said honestly, ” It doesn’t hurt much.”

Ye Jiayao squeezed a handful again: ” Does it hurt?”

Jiang Li inhaled a blow of cold air and said: ” It hurts.”

Ye Jiayao smiled slowly and patted Jiang Li’s shoulder vigorously: ” Ha, if it hurts, it’s true. Hi!Ah Li, I don’t think it’s you who come to save me! You guys are very quick. I think it will take a long time.”

Jiang Li looked at his second lady like a lunatic. If you tried to prove whether it was true or not, why not pinch yourself?

Ye Jiayao happily tidied up the recipes and said to Jiang Li, who was still in a daze, ” Let’s go. I don’t want to stay here for a moment.”

How many days had she been locked up? Seven days or eight days?When she went out, she would bomb it up.

Outside, a group of officers and soldiers guarded the doors and saw Ye Jiayao come out, all smiling triumphantly.

Ye Jiayao said nobly, ” Thank you, all guys, for inviting you to drink when you return to Heavenly Residence.” Then she remembered that banquets were not allowed during the national mourning period and said, ” Anyway, you are indispensable for this wine.”

Everyone smiled, a person from Jing’an marquis house was really generous. The spirit of the second lady was not like a prisoner imprisoned, for other women, they would surely cry out at this moment.

Jiang Li was leading the way ahead, and asked Ye Jiayao to follow his footsteps and told her that there was a trap here.

After passing through the long and narrow passage, there were dozens of steps up the stairs, and the light came through to warm the sun, forming a light beam in the passage, clearly showing the free dust in the light.

Out of the entrance to the secret chamber, Ye Jiayao discovered that the entrance was built in the waterside pavilion in the center of the pool, and it was under the pool. This was too mysterious. What position was the host here?

Come on, don’t worry about asking these questions now. Ye Jiayao stepped out of the waterside pavilion and stood on the winding porch bridge, showering sunshine with her head, holding high and breathing deeply the slightly chilly air. It was a good feeling to see the sun again for the first time.

Suddenly, Ye Jiayao thought of one thing and said to Jiang Li, ” There is a passage near the secret chamber, which has been sealed with bricks. I think there is something strange about it. Go and have a look.”

Jiang Li nodded and took a few people down to it.

In the shop, everyone was waiting anxiously, and finally someone came to report, ” The secret chamber has been found, and people have found it.”

Small scene exultation, thankfully, is found.

Shi Qingyun’s face changed slightly and his heart became horrified. Such a hidden tunnel could be found. Is it useless for them to join Jiangzuo League, or was it the strength of Helian Mansion and Jing ‘an marquis house?

Shi Qingyun gave a faint expression of eyes to Shopkeeper Bai, who twitched slightly at the corners of his mouth and lowered his eyelids, indicating that he had received it.

When things came to light, Datonghui would definitely give a statement that someone needed to come out to plead guilty. The younger leader was the future leader of Jiangzuo League. How could he fold it here for such a small matter?Therefore, it was most appropriate for him to carry the blame.

The marquis was already overbearing, but now the evidence was conclusive, he immediately shouted at him: ” The boy named Zuo? Aren’t you arrogant? Aren’t you aggressive? Do you want to talk with me? Now you’d better explain it to me.”

Shi Qingyun crusted his head and said with a face of innocence, ” The marquis, this is really weird. I don’t know what’s going on next. I never know there is a secret room here.”

Little Jing was furious: ” You left it clean. People were found in your chase. Can you get away with it without knowing?”

” I really don’t know. Please wait for a moment. I’ll find out the truth and give you an explanation.” Shi Qingyun said seriously.

Xia Chunfeng snorted with cold: “Shopkeeper Zuo, you can pack it. Don’t think we know nothing about you.”

Shi Qingyun calmly said, ” You’re joking. I’m just a businessman. It’s no use saying anything now. Please give me three explanations within the next hour. If I can’t find out the truth, I’ll be willing to punish myself next.”

The marquis’s eyes narrowed a crack and were as sharp as arrows. He had already seen Shi Qingyun’s intention: “Isn’t it just to give you time to find a scapegoat?”

” The marquis insisted, I’m also helpless, as the shopkeeper, naturally I can’t get away with it, but I’m really innocent, I have never met the second lady, and what could I hide her in the house to do? There is no reason!” Shi Qingyun argued.

While speaking, Ye Jiayao came out surrounded by officers and soldiers.

“Yaoyao ...”

“The second sister-in-law ...”

Chunfeng and Little Jing hurried up to see that Ye Jiayao was not injured or anything. After many days of heart suspension, they finally settled down completely.

Ye Jiayao had asked the officers and soldiers along the way that she was locked up in Datonghui, which was really strange. She and Datonghui were just a little business contacts, without enmity or resentment, and she was not the biggest customer of Datonghui. Why should the owner of Datonghui tie her up? No reason!

The fat man she knew, the steward here, told her a few replies, and who was the handsome young man?

Regardless of this, Ye Jiayao smiled at Little Jing and Chunfeng, walked up to the marquis and greeted to him: “I’ve seen the father.”

When the marquis saw that Ye jiayao was fine, he eased down in his heart, “It’s fine, you go home first, and all the family are waiting for you.”

Ye Jiayao wanted to stay and see what happened, but the marquis ordered in front of so many people that she naturally obeyed and went back with Uncle Jiang.

As soon as Ye Jiayao left, the previous topic continued, Shi Qingyun strongly demanded a chance to clear himself, or he wouldn’t accept it.

The marquis sneered, then he would see how this boy could justify himself.

Upon hearing the marquis’s promise to let Shi Qingyun investigate the case, the Shopkeeper Bai burst into a cold sweat on a round white fat face, which was very abrupt. He knelt down with a splash: ” the marquis, I have to confess, it is I who have done it, I’m guilty, the marquis, plaese punish me...”

The unexpected confession shocked everyone.

Shi Qingyun was livid and indignant. ” I know it is you fellow who has done the good thing.

Shopkeeper Bai couldn’t help sweating and begged the marquis to catch him soon.

Little Jing questioned: ” You jump out in time to plead guilty for your master?”

Shopkeeper Bai nervously said: ” This matter has been concealed. This house is a small house, and the secret chamber is also a small secret building. The shopkeeper can guess the small head and fall into the hands of the shopkeeper, and it is better to fall into the hands of the marquis. You should not be deceived by the elegant appearance of the shopkeeper. In fact, he is a ruthless man, if someone is in the hands of the shopkeeper and is better to die.”

Shi Qingyun was very angry: ” Bai Wanli, I’m not too bad with you.”

Shi surname was his original name, but externally, he claimed to be Zuo.

Shopkeeper Bai’s eyes were full of hatred: ” You treat me well, but my son is in your hands. I have endured all these years to avenge my son.”

Shi Qingyun said, ” You know it’s an accident.”

Shopkeeper Bai excited: ” I don’t care if it’s an accident, it’s my son, my only son.”

The two men quarreled.

At this moment, Jiang Li came in and whispered in the marquis’s ear. The marquis’s face changed greatly and said. “What’s the matter with the weapons in the secret chamber?”

” This is also one of the small plans,” Shopkeeper Bai said dejectedly. “Tie up second lady in the secret chamber first, and when the time is right, lead you over again. Then you will find the hidden weapons in the secret passage, and then you will be able to convict Zuo Qingyun of kidnapping and possessing equipment. Unfortunately, the small one is discovered by you before it’s fully prepared. If the marquis does not allow Zuo Qingyun to investigate the case today, he will be directly arrested or killed with one knife, the small enemy will be reported.”

As he spoke, he laughed twice, and the laughter was eerily creepy.

He laughed and cried: ” It’s a pity that God doesn’t have clear eyes!”

Shi Qingyun sighed and said with great regret, ” Bai Wanli, I don’t expect you to hate me so deeply that I can’t save you now.”

” You are acting enough! The discovery of weapons in the secret chamber is a serious matter. Shi Qingyun, you cannot put off it. ” Little Jing sank a track.

The marquis said, “Arrest people first.”

If they could find out the relationship between Zuo Qingyun and King Yu, King Yu couldn’t get away with it and they could bring him back for questioning slowly.
