Chapter 411(1/2)
After Zhuge Xianyu took charge of the Six Gates, Yang Deshui completely became a marginalized person.
During the few months he was in power, he worked hard to get rid of the code in his title. He made a lot of money, spent a lot of money, attached himself to a lot of people, and offended a lot of people. Overall, all in all
, still slightly at a loss. After the agent general headhunting experience card expired, nothing was lost.
In terms of prestige, he is far inferior to Zhuge Xianyu. Therefore, after Zhuge Xianyu returned, the so-called alliance that he had previously built up fell apart in an instant. In terms of ability, he had no front-line work experience, and his entire career track was in internal affairs, files, etc.
The background manager is not skilled in the business and cannot convince the public at all.
Among the seven major government agencies, except for Qin Ge, a confidant who was promoted by one hand, the others did not look down on him at all, and his orders were always obeyed and disobeyed.
In the end, he still became a loner.
After coming to Nanya for a few days, except for Qin Ge who occasionally came over to say hello, everyone else seemed to regard this place as a six-door forbidden area and would never set foot here.
What's even more disgusting is that every time Li Beihai sees him, he doesn't look at him directly. He looks up at him with contempt and snorts, which makes Yang Deshui feel extremely humiliated. If he had known this, he should have done it in the first place.
Take him down!
It was not that he had not considered it. A deputy chief had promised him a hundred thousand taels and wanted Li Beihai's position. However, when he went to the Ministry of Punishment to test his words, the other party ignored him at all. This made him suspect that Li Beihai
Is there a big boss from the Ministry of Justice behind Beihai?
Today, Yang Deshui is heartbroken.
If you want to make a comeback, you don't have any chips.
No, not at all.
Yang Deshui raised his head and glanced at the words "Punish evil and promote good". He thought of the secret passage behind the wall and couldn't help but feel excited.
What exactly is inside?
Could it be that Zhuge Xianyu hid something shady in it?
That's not right. This secret passage has existed since the establishment of the Six Gates, but Zhuge Xianyu never mentioned it at all. It is estimated that even Zhuge Xianyu does not know the existence of the secret passage! If we go further, it should be the former president.
Head-catching stuff from the King Kong period of the Song Dynasty.
Yang Deshui's memory of Song Jingang is relatively vague.
At that time, Song Jingang was the chief arrester of the Six Sects and a close confidant of the emperor. He was a high-ranking presence in the capital. He was visited by an endless stream of princes, nobles, and dignitaries every day, while Yang Deshui was just a pen of the Internal Affairs Department.
Officer, he is not even qualified to talk to the other party.
If you discover any secrets in it, wouldn’t that be another great achievement?
Yang Deshui was a little excited.
Anyway, there was usually no one in Nanyamen, so he simply locked the door, got a pickaxe, and punched a three-foot-sized hole in the wall. He also found a fire breaker, picked up an oil lamp, and prepared to go down to find out.
Just as he was about to go in, he turned back and took out a dagger, hiding it at his waist to defend himself. After entering, he straightened the painting from the inside.
The secret passage is dark and long, and can only accommodate one person walking along it.
There are dozens of steps below. There is no light all year round, and there is some moisture in the secret passage. At the end of the steps, the ground suddenly becomes spacious, three or four feet wide and one foot high. Rows of candlesticks are hung on the walls, with suet candles on them.
Yang Deshui lit the candle, and gradually, Yang Deshui adapted to the light in the secret passage.
Surprisingly, there wasn't much of an odor.
He looked up and saw that there were some ventilation holes on it, connected to the ground.
There are no mechanisms or formations, just a very ordinary path.
It's just that in comparison, it leads deeper underground.
Yang Deshui was a little scared, but also a little excited. His curiosity drove him to explore forward.
He heard someone talking.
Sounds came from the top of the head, sometimes loud and sometimes soft. Some people were yelling and some were wailing.
This voice is so familiar.
After estimating his position, he should be under the six-door prison.
Yang Deshui didn't stop at all and continued to walk forward. The secret passage seemed to have no end and was winding. It seemed that there was a strange force in front of him, driving his curiosity. He didn't know how long he had walked, but he still didn't see the end.
Based on the estimated distance traveled, he should have walked two or three miles, but without any reference, he didn't know where he had arrived.
There is a fork ahead.
One left and one right.
This put Yang Deshui in a dilemma.
To the left?
To the right?
Or go back the same way?
Yang Deshui quickly eliminated the third option. After walking so far, he would not be reconciled if he found nothing.
With such a secret and complicated secret passage, if nothing useful is discovered, wouldn't it be a waste of time? What's more, he has no way out now. After hesitating for a moment, he took out a copper coin from his arms and put it on the front.
Turning to the left, then turning to the right, he threw it into the air and landed on the ground.
literal.
He chose the left without hesitation.
After walking another three or four miles, the road became muddy and slippery, but I chose to go all the way to the end. Half an hour had passed.
No one knows what Yang Deshui went through during this half hour.
Fear, excitement, curiosity, and a sense of excitement.
Finally, the terrain began to get steeper, and he clearly felt a slope, and felt a whirring sound in front of him.
It's the wind!
That’s the end!
Yang Deshui's mouth was dry, he was a little excited and continued to move forward.
Suddenly, there was a beam of light ahead.
Yang Deshui approached cautiously, and at the end of the secret passage was a well!
The light we were looking at just now came from the well mouth.
The well water was right at his feet, no more than three feet away. Yang Deshui held the water in his hands and took a few sips. The well water was sweet, and all the boredom in his heart was instantly wiped away.
Looking up, the well is three to four feet deep.
It was noon and the sun was in the sky.
The long period of darkness made him feel a little dazzling.
The mouth of the well is not big, only three feet square. The walls of the well are a little rough, and the end near the water is covered with moss and a little slippery.
Now that we're here, how can we not find out what's going on?
Unfortunately, Yang Deshui did not have martial arts and could not fly over the walls like Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing. He jumped three or four feet high. He took out his dagger and dug a hole in the stone wall. He pressed his back against the wall of the well and stepped on the hole with his feet.
He barely held his body steady and repeated this process. After another half an hour, he finally arrived at the mouth of the well.
Although it was late autumn, Yang Deshui was already sweating profusely after some strenuous exercise.
Finally arrived at the end of the secret passage!
The mystery is about to be revealed!
He gasped for air, took a moment to rest, and carefully stuck his head out of the well.
It feels like being a thief.
What you can see is an abandoned courtyard, overgrown with weeds. In the distance, there is a piece of scorched earth, which seems to be a charred mansion. It is surrounded by red tiles and red walls. The walls are mottled. It seems that no one has been there for a long time. There is a tree in the yard.
The upper part of the hugging sycamore trees has been burnt, while the lower part has sprouted small sycamore trees, clinging to the half-dead sycamore trees, blooming with strong vitality.
Yang Deshui climbed out and stood at the mouth of the well, breathing in the fresh air.
A bell sounded from the north.
Yang Deshui followed the sound and saw only a hill with a pavilion on top and a Taoist priest ringing a bell.
Such a large courtyard should be the residence of a wealthy family, but it is now abandoned.
He has been in the capital for so long and is already familiar with the scenery in the capital. How come he doesn't know about the existence of such a place? In the far corner, he saw a worn-out plaque and leaned over. The words on it had long been weathered and corroded, and they were vaguely legible.
Come to the words "qi" and "ge".
What pavilion do you live in?
This name is quite elegant.
Wait, Yang Deshui seemed to realize something, and his whole body seemed to be frozen.
Qifeng Pavilion?
Isn't that pavilion in the distance the Wanshou Pavilion?
To be continued...
