Yu Chaoyun's eyes were dark, and his face was still gentle and submissive, and he persuaded: "Auntie, auntie, don't worry, our Yu family is not the only one involved in this matter."

As she spoke, she carefully watched the reactions of Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Yu, and saw Mrs. Yu sitting back staggeringly.

right. Yushi widened her eyes slightly as if waking up from a dream, and told herself not to panic.

This matter has not reached a desperate situation, and their Yu family is not alone.

The reactions of the two elders verified some guesses in Yu Chaoyun's heart, and her heart sank again.

Yu Chaoyun bit his lips again, and said softly: "Besides, there is my uncle. With my uncle coming forward, my uncle will be fine."

Yu Shi took a deep breath, and his mood gradually stabilized again.

Yes, I can't mess up my position because of Gu Yanfei.

She is the Duke and Duchess of England, and she also has the Duke of England.

The British prince holds a heavy army, and the emperor will not lose face!

Yu Chaoyun picked up the tea just served by his servants, wiped the temperature of the tea, and thoughtfully delivered it to Yu Shi, saying: "Auntie, drink some tea to moisten your throat."

"Are these Jin Yiwei looking for something?" She cautiously inquired, looking out of the hall through the window.

Seven or eight Jinyi guards were busy, beating and probing everywhere with their scabbards, searching every place they passed, pavilions, pavilions, flowers and trees...

Judging by Jin Yiwei's posture, it seems that he wants to dig three feet into the ground.

This house is just their Yu family's temporary residence in the capital. Apart from her and the eldest uncle, the master who lives here is also the eldest aunt. It's just the three of them, so what else can Jin Yiwei look for?

Yu Shi also followed Yu Chaoyun's gaze to look out of the hall, his pupils shrank slightly, and he also realized that Jin Yiwei seemed to be looking for something.

Both Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Yu did not speak, and occasionally looked at each other uneasy.

Yu Chaoyun asked again cautiously: "Auntie, Auntie, Uncle will be okay?"

Yu raised her eyelids, and her cold eyes met Yu Chaoyun's probing gaze accurately. Of course, she understood the little thoughtfulness of this niece, and said with a sneer, "Sister Yun, don't forget, your surname is Yu."

"If the Yu family is in trouble, you will be punished as well!"

"If the family taught you since childhood, you must always remember that there will be no eggs under the overturned nest."

"You're not married yet!"

Every word and every sentence of Yu Shi pierced towards Yu Chaoyun like a knife, and Yu Chaoyun's complexion suddenly became unsightly, and her lips turned white from her bite.

Yu Chaoyun wanted to justify a few words, but under Yu Shi's penetrating eyes, any justification seemed so pale and powerless.

There was another rush of footsteps outside the hall, and a square-faced Jinyi guard quickly ran towards He Lie who was standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, shouting excitedly:

"Commander, figure it out!"

"Miss Gu has already figured it out!"

As soon as Jin Yiwei mentioned Gu Yanfei again, Shi Yu almost jumped up from the chair, but could only sit motionless, trying to stay calm.

The square-faced Jin Yiwei who came to report the letter said something to He Lie, He Lie nodded slightly, and suddenly turned his head to look at Mrs. Yu and Shi Yu, who happened to be looking at Yu Shi from a distance.

A fine bead of sweat oozed from the back of Yu Shi's neck, soaking through her shirt, and a thought that made her shudder came to her mind: Could it be...

Mrs. Yu also thought of a place with her, and called out tremblingly, "Second sister!"

Both my aunt and sister-in-law felt cold all over and their limbs were numb.

After He Lie gave Fang-faced Jinyiwei a few words, Fang-faced Jinyiwei said in a loud voice: "Leave four people here to guard, and everyone else will follow me!"

The brocade guards who were searching the courtyard came after hearing the sound, and they all followed He Lie to the northwest of the house.

In the hall behind, Yu Shi stood up from the chair in a loss of composure, and bumped into the coffee table next to her, but she didn't realize it.

He Lie and his party didn't care what Yu's family thought, they came to a rockery in the small garden on the northwest side of Yu's house.

The square-faced Jin Yiwei yelled to his colleagues: "Search carefully, don't miss any corners, the second girl Gu said, the secret room is in the rockery."

Jin Yiwei, all of them experts in search, immediately spread out and searched the rockery from corner to corner.

"Found it! The organ has been found!"

"There's a secret door here."

After a while, a high-pitched male voice sounded excitedly.

He Lie left after hearing the sound, and was ushered into a dark fake cave by his subordinates, and walked around to a tight corner.

Jin Yiwei, who was leading the way, pointed to a five-six-foot-high secret door in front of him and said, "Commander, when I knocked here just now, I found that the back was hollow, so I managed to open it."

It was dark behind the secret door, and a cold musty smell wafted from the nostrils.

No one has ever entered the secret room, only waiting for He Lie.

The square-faced Jin Yiwei quickly brought an oil lamp, glanced at He Lie's eyes, and walked in first with the oil lamp.

A group of guards in brocade clothes filed through a narrow stone step and climbed down.

In the dim light of the jumping fire, it can be seen that the stone walls on both sides of the passage are covered with spider webs and the ground is covered with dust.

The further you go down, the more humid and cold the air below is, with a faint smell of fish.

"Commander, there seems to be a bloody smell." The square-faced Jin Yiwei moved his nose, quickened his pace and rushed down the stone steps.

After walking down more than 20 stone steps, they came to a dark secret room. The ceiling of the secret room was not high, and it seemed to touch the top of the head. The surrounding walls were mottled, and the smell of blood in the air became stronger again. a bit.

The square-faced Jin Yiwei held the oil lamp and looked around.

I saw tattered straw mats on the floor of the secret room, and children in their teens were lying on the straw mats in disorder, men and women, some beggars in tattered clothes, and some civilian children in coarse clothes. There are at least a hundred people in a coma with their eyes closed.

Several of the children were injured, and bloodstains could be seen on their wrists and legs.

"Found it!" Square-faced Jin Yiwei yelled loudly, "The lost children are all here."

Even though Jin Yiwei had seen a lot of big scenes on weekdays, and he had a lot of lives on his hands, he thought he was cold and hard-hearted, so he was still a little touched at this moment.

So many children were just a hair away from dying unexplained in this dark place.

In the rear, other Jin Yiwei also entered this dark secret room through the stone steps one after another.

Thinking that there were siblings who were about the same age in the family, Jin Yiwei with a square face felt a little sympathetic to the anger, and strode forward...

"Boom!"

A dull crash sounded.

The people in the back watched helplessly as the square-faced Jin Yiwei was thrown away out of thin air, and he staggered backwards and fell to the ground.

It was as if someone invisible had whipped him and sent him flying.

The scene in front of him was so bizarre that everyone else was dumbfounded.

Jin Yiwei with a square face covered his forehead in pain, and said in surprise, "I, I seem to have bumped into something..."

There is obviously nothing in front! The other Jin Yiwei were terrified and looked at each other dumbfounded.

Soon someone stepped forward boldly, shaking the scabbard in the air, and the sounds of "dong, dong" came and went.

"There seems to be a wall in front." A voice said uncertainly, unable to hide the shock, "an invisible wall."

"Commander, is this ghost hitting the wall?!"

Another person immediately retorted: "That's not how ghosts hit the wall!"

The brocade guards were not idle either, they raised their hands and kicked the air around to feel around, and they were convinced that they could not go any further.

The distance between them and the children in front of them was clearly not more than half a foot away, but they seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall.

This kind of situation is simply unseen, only heard in the kind of country ghost stories.

"Gaoyuan, go and report to the emperor about the situation here immediately." He Lie ordered decisively, his brows furrowed deeply.

After the Jin Yiwei named Gao Yuan responded, he hurried back on the stone steps.

Immediately afterwards, another slender Jin Yiwei shouted from the direction of the east wall: "Commander, look here."

He Lie quickly walked over and looked in the direction pointed by his subordinate.

On the mottled wall, there are dark brown lines and symbols drawn. These lines are extremely weird, revealing an indescribable sense of evil.

The tall and thin Jin Yiwei frowned and said, "Commander, this subordinate looks like these lines are painted with blood."

Everyone knows that Jin Yiwei is good at torture, and there are decades-old bloodstains on the cells and prisons in the imperial prison, and the smell of blood and rancidity is even more lingering.

So he saw it right away.

He Lie also saw it, and couldn't help feeling chills in his heart, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

Holding the scabbard in one hand, He Lie slowly walked half a circle around the walls, all the walls were painted with strange patterns.

He didn't dare to mess with the wall, for fear that there might be some evil method here, and if it was self-defeating, it would be unsightly.

After He Lie went around the secret room twice, he withdrew.

The secret room is dark and humid, while the garden outside is bright and sunny, like two worlds.

He Lie sat down in the pavilion next to the rockery. Some subordinates served him tea, and some subordinates came to report from time to time, such as catching a few servants of the Yu family who were trying to abscond. Detained in the West Wing, for example, the whole house has been searched, and no other secret rooms were found.

He Lie drank several cups of tea, and finally heard another commotion at the entrance of the garden, and Gao Yuan's respectful, almost flattering voice was heard from a distance: "Miss Gu, this way please, be careful of the slippery road .”

He Lie was startled immediately, got up quickly, and greeted the direction where the voice came from.

Not far away, Gu Yanfei walked towards this side leisurely under the guidance of Gao Yuan.

"Second Miss Gu." He Lieke politely cupped his fists at Gu Yanfei, almost in awe.

He asked Gao Yuan to report to the emperor, more or less meant to ask Gu Yanfei for instructions, but he never expected that she would come in person.

"Master He, please take me to have a look." Gu Yanfei also cupped his hands at He Lie, smiling lightly and acting casually.

The Patriarch of the Yu family, Yu Si, has been taken down and sent to Chengtian Gate to be interrogated by the emperor himself. Gu Yanfei has nothing to do with her there. She wanted to come to the Yu family to have a look, and it happened that Gao Yuan reported about the "ghost hitting the wall". Just come with him.

He Lie smiled more earnestly. Not only did he not feel that Gu Yanfei's etiquette was wrong, but he also thought that such a well-rounded person should naturally behave in such an informal manner.

"Miss Gu, go this way." He Lie led Gu Yan to the rockery and said, "Those children are all in the secret room. I have ordered my subordinates not to move rashly."

The two passed through the secret door and stepped on the stone steps into the secret room below.

Jin Yiwei had already placed several torches in the secret room, illuminating the originally dark secret room brightly, and the dark brown lines on the wall became more and more clear.

At first glance, these lines seem to be scribbled casually, but at another glance, there seems to be some kind of strange power contained in the lines, as if snakes are swimming, and there is a sense of horror like a group of demons dancing wildly.

Gu Yanfei stroked his chin and looked at these lines, then frowned.

Seeing her frowning, He Lie knew it: Sure enough, this is not a good thing!

"Miss Gu, what is this?" He Lie asked cautiously.

The other brocade guards in the rear also pricked up their ears, but just staying here made their hairs stand on end.

"This is a formation that gathers spirits to borrow luck." Gu Yanfei murmured, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped it on the pattern on the wall, and sniffed it again, "This formation has been activated at least three times .”

These words made He Lie and all the guards in Jinyi startled, and their imaginations were running wild. They felt that there seemed to be countless innocent souls buried here, and the surrounding air became more and more gloomy.

He Lie collected himself and couldn't help asking: "Every time the formation is launched, does it mean that the lives of two hundred children must be paid for?"

Gu Yanfei casually walked a few steps in the secret room with his hands behind his back, turned his head to look around, looked straight at the children on the straw mat from the lines on the wall, and walked towards them.

Gao originally wanted to remind her that there was a "wall" ahead, but Gu Yanfei had already stopped, as if she could see the transparent wall ahead.

She squatted down slowly, looked at the children lying motionless on the straw mat in front of her, and said: "Children's minds are pure, and they are often not contaminated with too much karma. spirit'."

"In the next step, this formation will 'borrow luck' from those who are lucky."

"Gather spirits first, then borrow luck?" He Lie murmured thoughtfully.

"Yeah." While speaking, Gu Yanfei stood up and met He Lie's gaze, her eyes were dazzlingly clear under the surrounding firelight.

"There are always some people in this world who are naturally lucky." Gu Yanfei casually pointed at He Lie, "Just like you, Mr. He."

he? ! As soon as He Lie's body froze, he immediately felt an uncomfortable feeling that his soul and even his fate were seen through by the other party.

The eyes of the other Jin Yiwei were also drawn by her, looking at He Lie with a strange look, which made him feel chills inexplicably.
