After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

Shen Jinyao followed Datian and Xiaotian and found that they were getting further and further away.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they stopped in front of the gate of a yard.

The door to the yard was closed, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside.

Shen Jinyao looked at the yard in front of her and found that it was not very eye-catching, but its defensive measures were well done.

There are various nails on the top of the wall, a fence at the base of the wall, and a few vegetable plots not far away.

There is only one path leading to the gate.

Although the vegetable field has dried up, the vegetable rack is still standing there.

Although the yard is not big, the gate is very tall, unlike the short doors of most people's homes.

Shen Jinyao was a little curious, "Whose house is this?"

So thoughtful and low-key.

Datian looked at the yard in front of him and whispered, "That's the Wang Da home I told you about."

Shen Jinyao understood, and she asked, "Why do you think there's someone hiding in his yard?"

Datian: "I've heard from the villagers before that the Wang family has a lot of money hidden in their house. They said they brought in carts of stuff, but thieves couldn't find it."

“Sometimes, people come to Wang’s house and never go back. People come looking for them but can’t find them.”

Shen Jinyao: "So, you thought that the person I'm looking for might be here?"

Datian scratched his head and said, "Except for this place, other places are not considered hidden. But... I have never been in there."

Shen Jinyao smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so smart."

Although it's just speculation, it's normal for this place to arouse suspicion.

After Shen Jinyao finished speaking, Datian smiled embarrassedly.

By the time Datian went to open the door, he could no longer laugh.

The door was locked.

It's locked from the inside.

This means that there must be someone in the yard!

Shen Jinyao took Datian and Xiaotian and walked to the yard next door.

She now needs to confirm whether this is a trap or her father and others are imprisoned here.

They walked to the neighbor's yard, Shen Jinyao climbed up the wall, and Datian and Xiaotian climbed up a tree.

Looking from next door, there was no one in Wang Da's house.

Shen Jinyao thought, maybe they are in the house now.

Not knowing how many people were on the other side, Shen Jinyao did not dare to act rashly.

She wanted to wait until night time to see if anyone would come out.

Shen Jinyao: "We have to wait until night to see if there are other people in the yard."

Datian only then remembered to ask, "Brother Jin, who are you looking for?"

Shen Jinyao didn't want to hide it, but said: "My father, and other family members."

Datian: "Then let's wait until night and see. If it doesn't work, we can just break in. I... I can open the door."

Datian put it more tactfully. He was quite dexterous and ordinary door locks were not a problem for him.

Shen Jinyao replied, "Let's wait and see tonight. Are you two hungry?"

It is already past noon and there are still two hours before dark.

Oda nodded honestly.

Shen Jinyao took out two pancakes from her arms.

In fact, she took it out from the space and used clothes as a cover so that others could not see it.

Shen Jinyao gave each of them a pancake, and the three of them sat on the tree and the wall to eat.

"Wow..."

Suddenly, there was a sound in the yard, which seemed to come from the house.

Xiaotian whispered, "Brother Jin, Brother, did you hear any noise?"

Datian: "I heard it. It sounded like the sound was coming from the house."

Oda: "Is there a ghost?"

Shen Jinyao signaled them to be quiet. The sound just now sounded like the sound of stones scratching the ground.

The three of them stood on a high place, and Shen Jinyao walked to an area with dense branches to cover her body.

In this way, others would not easily discover the three of them.

Just when Oda was trembling with fear, he heard the voice of someone talking.

"Hey, I was wondering what kind of people would be in this damn place."

"That's right. It makes us look like fools."

"Look, isn't there anyone here?"

"Usually we'd go out at night, but today I can't hold it back any longer. Let's go have a few drinks, brothers."

"Let's go, let's go, hahahaha."

Shen Jinyao looked over through the branches and saw two men walking out of the house.

They were wearing yamen runners' clothes and walked in a very lazy manner.

Just as the two men walked under the tree, one of them actually stopped.

"Hey, do you feel something is wrong?"

"What's the matter!"

Shen Jinyao jumped down from the wall and fired poison needles before the two of them could react.

Shen Jinyao took a big knife and stabbed him once on each side.

The two men fell to the ground instantly.

One of them took out a short piece of thin bamboo from his arms and put it to his mouth to blow.

When Shen Jinyao saw it, she immediately snatched it away.

At this time, Datian and Xiaotian also climbed down from the tree. Datian even imitated Shen Jinyao and stepped on the man's chest with his feet.

Shen Jinyao asked sternly, "Tell me, did you kidnap anyone from the Shen family?"

The two men are now dying.

"If I don't tell you, I'll make your death even more uglier."

After Shen Jinyao finished speaking, she was about to prick them with a needle.

The man was so frightened that he trembled and said, "Yes, it's the Shen family of the Marquis' Mansion."

Shen Jinyao then asked: "Where are they?"

The two men did not answer because they had already died from excessive blood loss.

Datian stood up and asked, "Brother Jin, what should we do now?"

Datian and Xiaotian were not afraid. Half a year ago, the village was littered with corpses. Besides, they had been beggars for a long time, so they were not afraid of death.

Shen Jinyao asked, "Whose yard was this before?"

Datian thought for a moment and said, "It seems like they're a new family. They have a good relationship with the Wang family, but they don't interact much with the villagers."

Shen Jinyao understood that this family must be in cahoots with the Wang family.

She took Datian and Xiaotian into the house.

They found the bed in the bedroom had been pushed out.

There is a big stone there, and next to the stone is a secret passage.

Shen Jinyao looked around and found an oil lamp in the house.

This should have been brought out by the two people just now.

Shen Jinyao walked in front, and the three of them walked down the secret passage.

The secret passage was very dark, and even with the oil lamp lighting it was just barely enough to see the road below.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the front of my sight seemed to suddenly light up.

It became brighter as we walked, as if the light was coming out from a crack.

When the three of them got closer, they saw that it was a stone door.

There is a small crack under the stone gate.

Shen Jinyao took out two daggers from her arms and gave one to Datian and one to Xiaotian.

She knocked hard on the stone door.

A voice came from inside, "Didn't you say you were going out for a drink? Why are you back so soon?"

Then the stone door opened, and Shen Jinyao immediately placed his knife on the neck of the person who opened the door.

"Is it...Jin'er?"
