Records of Mysterious Things in the Southern Dynasties

Chapter 219 Longquan Villa
"What royal prince?" Ren Yuan asked.

"Longquan Villa is in Guanyin Mountain. It is the manor of Yongyang Palace." Nangong replied.

"Who is the Prince of Yongyang?" Chen Baxian had tried very hard to remember all the princes and princesses, but he still felt unfamiliar with this one.

"He is the grandson of the current emperor's second elder brother, named Xiao Long." Nangong said, "The current emperor's second elder brother's taboo name was Fu, and he died before the founding of the country. After Daliang was established, he was posthumously named King of Yongyang, and his son Xiao Boyou inherited the title."

"But Xiao Boyou died at the age of 23, leaving behind a posthumous son, Xiao Long." Nangong continued, "Xiao Long is 20 years old this year. He has always had a good reputation and has never done anything out of the ordinary. I didn't expect that he would be linked to something like this."

"Why did Xiao Long have so many children?" Chen Baxian, who was not involved in the interrogation, asked, "To train assassins or to satisfy his perverted hobby?"

"The person in charge doesn't know either. They are only responsible for taking the child back." Zu An said, "There will be someone else who will take the child to the back mountain."

"They have been doing this for two years," Nangong said in a heavy tone, "They have sent two thousand children in, and never seen a child come out."

"More than 2,000 children?" Everyone was shocked. "What are the two counties of Jiankang and Moling doing? They left so many children behind and didn't even notice?"

"In the past, rabbits would not eat grass near their burrows." Nangong explained, "It was because we aborted the babies they brought from other places. The people in the mountains behind were pressing us, so we started to use local materials..."

"Don't make blind guesses for now." The Fifth Dimension frowned and said, "The most urgent task now is that these two people should go back to report at dawn. If they fail to return on time, the people in the villa will be alert."

"So we should strike while the iron is hot and raid Longquan Villa immediately!" Zuan said in a deep voice.

"I've already told you that it's the manor of Prince Yongyang." Nangong Bai glanced at him and said, "If you want to copy it, you have to report it first."

"If we really follow the rules, we have to ask the emperor for permission." Zu An rolled his eyes and said, "Even if the emperor agrees, it's too late. Besides, the emperor may not agree."

"Other things can wait, but the children who were captured in the villa cannot." The Fifth Dimension sighed and said, "Once the other party decides to relocate, they will most likely kill those children."

"Master, let us newcomers go and take a look." Ren Yuan suddenly said in a deep voice: "We don't know who owns Longquan Villa, so let's go in and rescue the child first."

"That makes sense!" Chen Baxian, who had been holding his breath, agreed immediately: "Everything has its own power. If we save the child first, our merits and demerits can be offset. If we can solve this case directly, we may even make a profit."

"Too reckless." Nangong disagreed.

"Speaking of Recklessness, I have to do it. I will feel uncomfortable if I don't do it!" Ren Yuan said with a smile: "If the higher-ups investigate, they will say that this is my price. I can't do anything about it."

"Fuck!" Senior sister is the real reckless girl.

"..." The Fifth Dimension thought for a moment, then nodded heavily and said, "Let's do it!"

"Great!" The three of them were immediately delighted. They were the ones who dared to kill the county magistrate in Changxing, steal the Three Lives Stone in Qiantang, and fight against the Ghost King's army in Taohuayuan.

I am not afraid of anything except being restricted by my boss.

"Yang Zhong, pass the order down, sneak in small teams and gather outside Longquan Villa in Guanyin Mountain before dawn." The fifth dimension gave the order in a deep voice.

"Understood!" Yang Zhong responded excitedly when he saw that he also had a share.

"But Master, it will be hard to explain if you go too," said Ren Yuan.

"I forgot who owns Longquan Villa." Then the Fifth Dimension said confidently, "Is this statement strong?"

"Hard!" Everyone praised.

"..." Nangong sighed helplessly: "I thought I could get promoted this year, but now there's no hope."

~~
At dawn, Ren Yuan and others arrived at the foot of General Mountain.

Jiangjun Mountain is located in the southern suburbs of Jiankang, surrounded by mountains on all sides. The gurgling mountain streams flow down from the mountains and merge into a wide river at the foot of the mountain. There are green trees by the river, and a straight and wide gravel road leads directly to the vaguely visible large manor deep in the valley. When the teams arrived one after another, the valley was already illuminated by the morning light. But it was a little different from the imagined beautiful mountains and clear waters, green trees and red flowers. The scenery in the mountains was all covered with a layer of dust, and there was a faint haze in the air.

Everyone else thought it was mountain fog, but Ren Yuan didn't think so. He was too familiar with this situation. This was fucking environmental pollution.

Ren Yuan looked up and saw white smoke rising from the back mountain. The terrain here was windy and gathered air, so the smoke could not dissipate, and over time it became what it is now.

"The feng shui here is not good." Zuan observed for a while, stroking his chin and said, "Looking at the shape of the mountains and the water evil of nine rivers returning to one, it is clearly an extremely yin place. No wonder the old King Yongyang didn't live long."

"So the young Prince Yongyang has never lived here. Now his mother is living here in retirement." Nangong said, "The steward said that the young Prince Yongyang didn't want his mother to live here either, but he couldn't persuade her."

"It's almost time." The Fifth Dimension looked at Ren Yuan.

According to the plan, he and Ren Yuan will go in first to investigate, determine the location where the children are imprisoned, and the strength of the opponent, and then decide whether to launch a direct surprise attack or mobilize people.

Ren Yuan nodded and transformed into the middle-aged manager, while the fifth dimension became another person. The magical powers of the two were the same, and Ren Yuan would be able to use the fifth dimension.

It’s just that the fifth dimension can’t remember so many joints, so Ren Yuan has to deal with each level.

The two men rode on the stewards' horses and walked along the gravel road to the gate of Longquan Villa.

After hundreds of years of war, the forts in the north and the manors in the south have been optimized to best suit the local environment.

Therefore, the external structures of Longquan Villa and Xiejia Villa are similar, both have trenches, suspension bridges, high walls and arrow towers, but they are many times larger.

Although it was already bright outside, the drawbridge had not yet been lowered, so Ren Yuan craned his neck and shouted, "Master Qian, open the door!"

The officer on the arrow tower poked his head out and asked with a smile, "Is Manager Feng back?"

Then he ordered, "Release the bridge!"

The palace guards turned the winch, and the heavy suspension bridge slowly fell down.

The two men rode in, and Ren Yuan bowed and said, "Thank you for your hard work, brothers. I'll have someone bring you some wine and meat later."

"It's not hard at all." The guards said happily, "We wish we could open the door for you every day."

"Haha, thank you very much. I'll go report first." Ren Yuan waved to the officer on the arrow tower again, and entered the manor with Diwuwei.

Following the instructions of Manager Feng, the two walked along the long main road, passed through the various houses in the manor, and went straight to the back door at the deepest part of the manor.

The mountains outside the back door are also the property of King Yongyang. It is said that the valley is full of precious medicinal herbs, so the gate is usually locked and people from the villa are not allowed to enter.

Ren Yuan took out the small wooden box from his arms and stuffed it out through the crack of the back door.

Soon, a small porcelain bottle was stuffed in from outside the door. According to Manager Feng, this was the reward from last time, and he would give it to the water monkey during the next transaction.

Ren Yuan picked up the small porcelain bottle, uncorked it and saw a red spirit pill inside.

This is the reward for thirty children...

"It's done, it's done, let's go back to sleep." The two men looked relieved and left through the back door while talking.

But the next moment, they appeared in the valley outside the door.
