Chapter 274 Locking the final goal!

From the mouth of this kind old man, Li Weidong learned the origin of this unique yard.

In the other party's words, this place is called Cuiyun Fairy Courtyard, which is also a nunnery.

As the name suggests, the former owner of this yard was a woman who became a nun.

As for why she became a monk, I said it.

In ancient times, being able to build such a yard for women alone was not an ordinary wealthy family.

It's definitely the kind of high-ranking officials.

The other party was unfaithful before marriage and was dismissed by his husband's family. Because of the insulting family style, the family was unwilling to accept her, so he built this yard for her and asked her to "practice" here to pray for her family (atonement).

And here, there are statues of the Three Emperors.

When we arrived in the Republic of China, someone erected a monument inside, which read: Cause and effect are not ignorant.

He also introduced the life of the owner of this courtyard in detail.

When Li Weidong saw that he was a little worried, he took the initiative to order a plate.

Li Weidong asked inadvertently.

No matter what his purpose was at the beginning, he was to realize the severe situation at that time and leave a way out for himself, or to do something for his beloved woman.

Li Weidong just walked around and saw the bell tower, and left with satisfaction.

Li Weidong thinks this is unlikely.

But since the past few years, worship is basically not allowed in these temples.

But in that case, the project volume will be so large that it will be endless, which will not happen overnight.

It's not like other places, with dark eyes.

When he heard that Li Weidong didn't plan to go again, the old man explained: "It used to be a church, but later it was changed to a school, which was called Huiwo Girls' School? Or something, but after liberation, it was recharged and Huiwo Primary School was then turned into Huiwo Primary School, but we usually call Wangfujing Primary School.

This incident had been a long time ago, but it was not until a few years ago that a group of people suddenly came and dug the yard inside and out, but they couldn't find anything."

There is also a bell tower there. I heard that it was donated by a monument before liberation. It was a little smaller and it was incomparable to the bell tower here."

He even had enough reason to do so.

"Is that need to be said? It's been so many years. Even if it really exists, it's been secretly poached. How could it be left until now?"

And I also learned from the old man that even on the eve of liberation, no army had been stationed here.

Even this teahouse is rare nowadays.

Although Shi Wenbai left the four words "Dongtang Bell Tower" in the letter.

"Dongtang?"

However, it is too simple to quietly build a large secret room below during the construction of the bell tower.

There is also a reason why this yard is locked.

What if this old man is wrong and report him?

Too much words will lead to mistakes.

He can now basically confirm that the Dongtang Bell Tower left by Shi Wenbai refers to that side.

"Shhh, young man, you're still young and don't understand a lot of things. Don't talk nonsense, those who are public."

It won't even arouse suspicion from outsiders.

However, if that side was the target, he vaguely understood why Gui Shaoning chose to "retreat" here.

After all, the searcher is not a fool, especially if you can dig deep, unless the secret room is built dozens of meters underground.

This time the purpose is probably to be silenced.

Nowadays, there is a word called overseas relations.

The old man was very excited and seemed even more proud when he talked about it.

He even suspected that this woman had a lot to do with Huimei Girls' School in the past, and maybe even the female teacher there.

"Don't say it, I'm really a little thirsty, so let's listen to you."

For middle-aged and well-off families, come to the teahouse to drink tea and listen to books.

In serious cases, if you are reported to have overseas relations, you have to be delegated to work and your work must be reviewed.

What the old man said was that there was indeed a building that was no lower than the bell and drum tower, and it was even more magnificent there.

"By the way, uncle, when I came to the city, I heard that Dongtang was quite fun. Where is this Dongtang? I just walked around but didn't find it."

Until liberation, this family declined and the place gradually became deserted.

On the surface, it has nothing to do with him at all.

Li Weidong asked calmly, but there was already a vague guess in his heart.

Gui Shaoning didn't live here either at that time. So, would he really choose to hide things here?

"Those people are really stupid."

But in the past, drinking tea in teahouses was only secondary, and the real purpose was to listen to people's stories. In the early days when entertainment was scarce, the rich people in the upper class went to the garden to watch operas.

Ordinary people just watch juggling at the rally.

Li Weidong immediately remembered that when he was standing at the window of the bell tower, he also looked into the distance.

Seeing that Li Weidong took the initiative to invite him to have tea, the old man still mentioned it so that the other party would not be ignorant and suffer losses in the future.

"Comrade, a pot of flower tea."

But from the current clue analysis, it seems that he still found the wrong place.

Afterwards, Li Weidong made a fuss and asked about the nearby humanities and history, but he had a vague premonition in his heart.

"Before liberation, we are weaning my girls' school? Donate to the bell tower?"

"The reason why this yard was locked is actually related to something a few years ago?"

There are not many high-rise buildings in the city today. The bell tower is about fifty meters high and the drum tower, which is now second to none nearby.

And that mogul was obviously Gui Shaoning.

Since the yard located on the east side of the bell tower has been thoroughly searched and dug up to the sky, the possibility of mysterious materials hidden inside is extremely low.

Li Weidong shook his head, as if he was no longer interested.

Bell Tower East Hall, East Hall Bell Tower?

Could it be that the Dongtang mentioned by Shi Wenbai is where?

As for the bell tower, I am not sure now, and I will only be clear after I get the knowledge there.

Since he dared to say it, he was not afraid that the other party would "learn secrets". After all, for no reason, who could think of Gui Shaoning?

Unless the other party finds Chang Qingbo or Xiang Tianming, and knows that Li Weidong is here to inquire about the news, he will have some associations.

Li Weidong had long noticed his actions and his intentions were also Men Qing, so he simply sent an invitation.

Originally, in the years when the liberation first, there was an occasional incense here. After all, there were statues of the Three Emperors in the hall, and many people would worship them.

The little old man pondered for a moment, then slapped his head.

God did all this without knowing it.

This place is also close to the Bell and Drum Tower. Usually, the traffic of people is relatively large and there are gatherings from time to time, so the teahouse is preserved.

Since he knew that it was Dongtang there, Li Weidong didn't plan to ask more questions.

After the tea and snacks came up, the old man lowered his voice a little and started talking again.

Advocating foreign countries and fascinating foreign countries is now a serious problem of ideological and style.

When the other party was enjoying his life, Li Weidong offered to say goodbye. He rode his bicycle to Dongtang. At this moment, the door was locked, and the plaque at the door said Wangfujing (Huiwo) Primary School.

In this way, Gui Shaoning had enough excuses and reasons to build the bell tower.

When the old man said this, he stopped and even smashed his mouth. He cleared his throat. He seemed to feel a little uncomfortable in his throat. Even his eyes became erratic and he looked aside from time to time.

"Not found?" Li Weidong pretended to be surprised.

After the old man said "with the flow" and took Li Weidong to the teahouse with familiarity.

In the 1980s, with the change of opening up, if you had such a relationship, it would be amazing. Everyone envied it and it would be easy to find a partner.

The batch of supplies Gui Shaoning privately kept was not here.

After all, the church was built specifically for foreigners in the past.

"Uncle, you have said so much. Why don't we go to the teahouse to have some tea and you can rest?"

According to the time when Gui Shaoning captured Shi Wenbai, then he wrote a letter, and the day of liberation here, it was destined that this time would not be too long.

Li Weidong still retains the black and white photo. There is a woman wearing a cheongsam on it. Her style is obviously before liberation.
