Upon hearing this, Lin Qiuer stood up abruptly and exchanged a knowing look with Gu Anqing.

It seems that this person really knows something.

"Go, bring the person here." Lin Qiu'er said, and then added, "Only bring the person who spoke here."

One of the guards standing on both sides immediately ran over and brought Yu Genzhu over.

Yu Genzhu was brought over alone. During the short distance of a few steps, he secretly beat his chest and stamped his feet, thinking a thousand times in his mind: Why do I talk so much? Trouble comes from the mouth.

When Yu Geng's family secretly buried things in the village, those who knew about it later died for no reason. This made Yu Genzhu understand this truth.

But he didn't know what happened today, as if he was blinded by something and he actually asked the question.

When Lin Qiuer saw Yu Genzhu coming, she kept her head down and didn't say a word for a long time.

Is this person worried that he will be silenced after telling everything?

After understanding the man's concerns, Lin Qiu'er assured him, "As long as you tell us where the Yu family's things are hidden, you can come back to live in the village after we leave."

"If Yu Geng and the others come back and find that the things are missing, they will definitely think that we took them. Then, none of us will survive." Yu Genzhu's voice trembled, revealing deep fear.

"So you are worried that the Yu family in the city will retaliate against you." Lin Qiuer suddenly realized.

I didn't expect that I guessed wrong. After all, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.

As a powerful family in Yunyang Prefecture in the past, the Yu family has absolute say in Yunyang Prefecture. How could a commoner dare to compete with the Yu family?

She spoke slowly, each word strong and clear, "We must take this thing away. It makes no difference whether you tell us or not. It's just a matter of how long it takes."

When Yu Genzhu heard this, his face turned pale and he was about to collapse.

Lin Qiu'er was very satisfied and her voice softened. "But you don't have to worry. The Yu family in the city won't have a chance to come back and cause trouble for you."

"What does this mean?" Yu Genzhu didn't understand why Yu Geng's family didn't have the chance to come back and cause trouble for them.

It takes half a day to travel from Yujia Village to Yunyang Prefecture by oxcart, but only one hour by fast horse.

Because of this, they did not dare to live in Yujia Village at all, and only built some simple wooden houses in the woods not far away to live in.

But now the person in front of me said that Yu Geng and the others would not have the chance to come back and cause trouble. Could it be... could it be that their entire family died in the war?

Thinking of this, Yu Genzhu's eyes lit up and he asked, "Is Yu Geng's whole family dead?"

"It will be soon. Once we get the things, they will be dead when we go back." Lin Qiuer sneered.

He sold out his country for personal gain and persecuted his fellow clansmen.

No matter which of these things happened, the Yu family would be in big trouble.

After conquering Yunyang Prefecture, Lin Qiuer did not immediately deal with the Yu family because she did not have a suitable reason.

Now the reason is right at your doorstep, isn’t it?

"Are you telling the truth?" Yu Genzhu's voice rose several degrees.

Gu Anyuan, who had been standing quietly beside the three of them, suddenly spoke up, "No one in the entire Nanyue Kingdom can refute what Sister Lin said. She is the Nalan witch doctor."

Seeing the proud expression on his face, Lin Qiuer couldn't help but give him a slap on the head, "You're being weird!"

Gu Anqing looked doting and smiled as he watched the two people playing in front of him. He said to the anxious Yu Genzhu, "I assure you in the name of the Major General of the Gu Family Army that the Yu family in the city will not have a good end."

Yu Genzhu's eyes widened. He really didn't expect that the two young men and women in front of him were actually the leaders of the Nalan Army and the Gu Family Army who were rumored to kill people without blinking an eye.

If that's the case, then he has nothing to fear from Yu Geng and the others.

"I, the common people, believe it." Yu Genzhu's back bent involuntarily, it was an involuntary awe.

He held out his hand and motioned for the two to follow him.

"My lords, please follow me. Both Yu Geng and Yu Qi are evil-minded people.

Back then, they paid money to hire villagers to help them build a house and repair a cellar, but later, all those who went to help died in accidents. Hum... Who would believe this?"

--------------------

Yu Genzhu led Lin Qiuer and his party into the only blue brick courtyard in the village. Inside, the old blind man and Kin'emon were looking for the entrance.

Instead, he walked straight into the kitchen on the right.

This time, not only Lin Qiuer and Gu Anqing, but even Lin Nanyue and Gu Anyuan who had been following behind them had confusion in their eyes.

Isn’t there a rockery?

Yu Genzhu walked to the kitchen stove and squatted down. When Lin Qiuer approached, she saw that there was actually a mini rockery next to the stove.

This rockery is not that rockery, but if you don’t know the truth, no one can figure it out, okay?

With a slight mechanical turning sound, a stove slowly moved away, revealing a secret passage leading underground.

The secret passage is winding and deep, and you can't see the bottom at a glance.

"There is an oil lamp downstairs, but we can't go down now. Please wait a moment, adults." Yu Genzhu turned around and explained.

After saying that, he stood up and walked out again, and soon came back with some dry firewood in his hand.

He lit the firewood in front of the secret passage and threw it into the secret passage with a flick of his hand.

With a "thump", the firewood fell on the stairs, rolled a few times and then went out.

"What is he doing?" Gu Anyuan was confused and couldn't help but ask.

Lin Nanyue exclaimed, "Ah!" When she saw Gu Anyuan looking over, she explained, "My sister said before that for places like secret rooms or cellars that have been locked up for a long time, you have to make sure that there is no poison inside before you can enter."

"But can we test whether it is poisonous or not in this way?" Gu Anyuan didn't believe it.

Lin Qiuer knew that she couldn't explain the complicated chemical formula and the reasons for its formation to the people here, so she could only explain it in a simple way.

“If people frequently enter a closed place, they will bring anger into it.

If no one enters, many harmful things, including unclean things, will grow.”

"Oh~ So that's how it is." Gu Anyuan felt that he understood.

He thought about how he was naughty when he was a child. His mother often said that if he made trouble again, she would ask the ghost to take him away.

Yu Genzhu did this several times, and when the match did not go out for a long time, Yu Genzhu indicated that it was time to go down.

Holding a torch in his hand, he bent down and entered the passage, lighting the oil lamps on both sides as he walked.

Faint lights flickered in the dark passage. Gu Anqing stopped Lin Qiuer who wanted to go in first, and let a few guards in first.

After the guards said it was okay, Gu Anqing walked in first, then turned around and waved to Lin Qiuer, motioning for her to follow him.

Gu Anyuan and Lin Nanyue entered the secret passage one after another, and finally several guards followed.

They went deeper into the secret passage and finally came to a spacious underground secret room.
