Moonlight and wind

Shan Zimo hurried forward and was about to reach out to help the woman who was kneeling on the ground, but the woman suddenly curled up backwards. Shan Zimo's hand, which had already been stretched out, stopped in mid-air.

"Don't come over here!" The woman hugged her knees with her hands and retreated under the table. It can be seen that she was extremely frightened.

"Girl, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!" Shan Zimo knew that continuing to get closer would only make her more scared, so he took two steps back to increase the distance between them.

Shan Zimo looked at the shivering woman, whose skin, exposed by her torn clothes, bore signs of beating.

"Didn't you ask a doctor to take a look?" Shan Zimo asked Yu Wenlin who was standing beside him.

"I found her. I saw that she was very resistant to men, so I sent a pigeon to ask the nearest tea master who knows medicine to come to Yunlan City. According to the time, she should be here soon!"

Shan Zimo nodded, "Check her carefully and don't forget to change her into some clean clothes." Yu Wenlin blinked.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door above his head. Yu Wenlin made a hushing gesture and pricked up his ears to listen carefully.

Shan Zimo also heard that the knocking sound seemed to be regular, as if it was conveying some message.

After hearing the last blow, Yuwenlin climbed up the stairs, opened the door, and a tea master came down.

"Zimo, this is the doctor I was talking about." Yuwenlin introduced the doctor who was wearing a tea master's uniform.

"Why don't you let the young master and young master go out first and let me examine the young lady carefully." The tea master asked the two to go out. Shan Zimo and the other man listened to the tea master and left the secret room.

Arriving at the tea room, the two sat at the table and waited anxiously. "You, the tea master, are the treasure of our Mo Yue Xiang Ming!" Shan Zimo exclaimed.

"My tea masters are yours. Isn't that what you asked for?" Yu Wenlin smiled. "I still say that. Don't try to trick me now. You will know the origins of these tea masters in the future. It's just not the right time yet."

After an incense stick of time, the tea master came out of the cabinet, bowed his head and appeared in front of Shan Zimo and the others, "Young Master, Young Master, the girl's injury has healed."

"How is it?" Shan Zimo asked anxiously.

"There are both new and old injuries, but..." The tea master hesitated, "This girl was abused last night!"

"Bao Datong is a beast!" Shan Zimo said angrily. Thinking back to when he saw Bao Datong coming out of the hall last night, he felt even more angry.

"The girl said she wants to see you!" the tea master said to Shan Zimo with a smile.

"Then go quickly!" Yu Wenlin urged, "Maybe you can get some useful clues!"

Dan Zimo didn't dare to delay for a moment, he quickly got into the cabinet and ran into the secret room.

"Are you feeling better, young lady?" Shan Zimo arrived at the secret room and stood far away, fearing that his recklessness would irritate her again.

"Thank you very much for rescuing me, young master. I am already a fallen woman, there is no need to do this." The woman wiped her tears with the corner of her clothes. "If it weren't for the young master's rescue, I would still be buried in the ground and would not be able to close my eyes!" At this time, the woman was sobbing and unable to speak.

"Miss, can I ask you a few questions?" Shan Zimo still tested cautiously.

"Master, as long as I know something, I will speak it out!"

"who are you?"

"My name is Qingying, and I am the wife of Chengda from Yanliu Lane. Three days ago, I met Bao Datong, the son of Governor Bao, on the street. Bao Datong became lustful and then tied me up and took me back to the governor's mansion," Qingying sighed. "I was locked up in a place similar to a prison and forced to submit. I refused to obey, so they tortured me with all kinds of instruments."

"Beast!" Shan Zimo frowned as he listened to Qingying's description.

"In the prison, besides me, there are more than a dozen women. They said that many other women were taken away and never came back. They should have been buried like me to destroy the evidence."

"Then how did you end up in Bao Datong's courtyard?"

"Ruan Bao, who was beside Bao Datong, drugged me!" Qingying's emotions, which had just calmed down, became agitated again. "When I woke up again, I was already trapped in Bao Datong's bed! How can I have the face to go back and see Cheng Da? I'd rather die!"

"If you die like this, won't your enemies be in great pain?" Shan Zimo comforted her, "Then have you seen a little girl in prison?" Shan Zimo had a glimmer of hope in his heart. He also knew that Zi Ling'er's disappearance and Qingying's being taken out of prison happened on the same night.

"When Ruan Bao was forcing me to drink drugs, I did hear a new person coming in, but I didn't see what kind of girl she was." Qingying tried hard to recall.

"Then can you remember the location of the prison?" Shan Zimo didn't have any hope for this question.

As expected, Qingying shook her head and said, "When I entered the prison, I was blindfolded. When I left the prison, I knew nothing."

"Miss, just take care of it yourself. Don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for you!" Shan Zimo bowed and left the secret room.

Sitting in the teahouse, Shan Zimo and Yu Wenlin were both thinking about something. "Right now I need a detailed layout of the prefect's mansion, do you have a way to get it?" Shan Zimo asked Yu Wenlin who was standing beside him.

"There are a lot of layouts of the prefectural government, but the confidential parts are hard to find!" Yu Wenlin raised his eyebrows and pouted, "But don't worry about this matter, I'll take care of it!"

"Wait a moment!" Shan Zimo held Yu Wenlin's hand, "I found that you have become more capable since you came down the mountain! You can get whatever I want. Did you make a deal with some organization?"

As soon as he said this, Yuwenlin's mouth corners slightly raised, and he shook off Shan Zimo's hand, "With me, there is no problem that can't be solved with money!" Yuwenlin sat on the chair with his legs crossed, "I don't know if my ability has improved, but I have met a lot of people along the way!"

"Be careful! Don't rely solely on Jianyun to protect you!"

"It's here," Yuwenlin pointed to his head, "It's very smart! Enough of the nonsense, tonight, or tomorrow morning at the latest, I will go to the prefect's mansion to give you the blueprint!" Yuwenlin waved his hand and left the teahouse with Jianyun.

Shan Zimo was not idle either, he immediately returned to the prefect's mansion and wandered around in it. But everyone in the mansion was staring at him, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"It seems that Zi Ling'er is still in the Prefect's Mansion, and she is related to Bao Datong!" Shan Zimo returned to the meeting place. He had searched all the places he could find in the Prefect's Mansion. Now his only hope was that Yuwen Lin could find the blueprints of the secret prison in the Prefect's Mansion.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Jian Yun came running in quickly. Because of his speed, the guards who were following him couldn't catch up with him!

Jianyun quietly handed the drawings in his arms to Shan Zimo, then returned to the door and stood guard there.

Shan Zimo quickly opened it and saw a map of the overall layout of the prefectural government! On top was the ordinary courtyard layout, but below was a crisscross of secret passages and eight secret rooms!

The eight secret rooms were arranged in the shape of the Bagua. Shan Zimo saw at a glance the secret cell where he had been imprisoned before. It was located at the northeast gate of life. It turned out that Bao Qingjian had no intention of taking their lives from the beginning!

But among these eight secret rooms, where is Zi Ling'er?
