Chang'an Fu
Chapter 12 The Masked Man
"Oh, this food is really delicious"
Seeing Li Yu came out, the child beckoned him to sit down, "It's just right, you can eat with me, after eating and resting for a while, we will go to the secret room of the study."
The two chatted while eating, and Li Yu knew that the child's mother also died of the plague, so after the death of his mother, his father became more and more strict with him, afraid that something would happen to him. He acted as if he was afraid of being discovered, and it seemed that it had nothing to do with the epidemic. Li Yu even suspected that Zhang Chengyou was the one who colluded with the Huns. Of course, he was alone in such a big matter. Shou can't do it, but according to this kid, his wife was also killed by this thing, so why is this Zhang Chengyou willing to work hard for his wife?
It was getting dark soon, and the child was going to take Li Yu to his father's study. Before that, the child went to Uncle Wu's side first. Uncle Wu was a little surprised to see his young lady come out.
"Miss, why are you out so late?"
"Uncle Wu, is father still talking in the study at this time?"
"The people over there came to look for the master just now. After finishing talking in the study, the master went out to do some errands. I'm afraid it will take a few days to come back after this trip."
Hearing what Uncle Wu said, the child's face suddenly became unhappy, "Hmph, it's them again, every time they come, father will leave home for a long time."
Seeing that his young lady was unhappy, Uncle Wu lowered his head and stopped talking. There are many things that this little doll doesn't understand, so he can't say anything more.
"Okay, I'm going back to rest." After saying that, the child walked away angrily.
When Li Yu was waiting for the child outside the door, he heard the conversation between the two clearly. When he saw the child come out angrily, he ran after him and asked, "Hey, who is the person over there that you just mentioned?" "
"I don't know," the child replied angrily, "Anyway, every time I come here, I wear a bamboo hat to cover my face. Who knows if it's an ugly monster?"
Hearing this, Li Yu thought thoughtfully that this group of people must not be simple, maybe Zhang Cheng has someone above him
"What are you thinking, I can't go, I'm dying slowly"
This kid, okay, I can bear it because you are in a bad mood, Li Yu thought so and quickly followed
After crossing a gravel path covered with flowers and plants on both sides, they soon came to Zhang Chengyou's study room. The child leaned forward to make sure that the study room was empty, and then pushed the door and walked in. Li Yu followed closely. He took out a fire pocket from his arms and blew it on. With the faint light of the fire, Li Yu could see the appearance of the study clearly. It was just like the room of a general warrior. There were no calligraphy and paintings, but more weapons, which were placed on the bookshelves. some utensils
"Don't mess around with my father's things. He knows all about my father's things. If there is something missing, he should be suspicious." Seeing Li Yu staring at his father's desk, the child kindly reminded him, "Hurry up." follow me"
The two came to the bookshelf, and the child pointed to the emerald bottle on the upper shelf and said, "Did you see that green bottle, turn it?"
Li Yu turned the bottle according to his instructions, and the floor tiles not far away suddenly started to rattle, and slowly moved away, Li Yu took the fire folder in the child's hand, and took a look at the face under the floor tiles, the faint light of the fire endless stairs
"Child, will you come down with me?" Li Yu turned around and asked
"Of course, this is my home, so of course I want to watch you." The child took out a fire from his arms and lit it
The two entered the tunnel one after the other, the child firmly grasped the torch in his hand, Li Yu asked amusedly, "Are you afraid, child?"
"How is it possible, this is my home, what am I afraid of?" the child stiffened up and said in a pretentious manner
"Have you never been here before?"
"Isn't it strange that I haven't been here?" The child gave him a blank look. "This is the place where those patients are locked up. Of course, my father won't let me in."
"I think you only found out about this by watching your father's whereabouts secretly. Now follow me to find out what father's secret is."
Seeing that Li Yu exposed his thoughts, the child said impatiently, "Hurry up"
The two soon came to the end of the stairs. At the end of the stairs was a wooden door. Li Yu pushed the door open and took the child in. The people inside the door were resting, but they were startled when they heard the sound.
There are men, women, and children inside the door. These people are all dressed in ordinary clothes, and their eyes are full of panic and vigilance. They really don't seem to be infected by Man Fanshu
At this time, the child beside him suddenly ran towards a little boy who was holding back the group of people, "Little Fuer, you are not dead!"
The group of people were startled when they saw the child running over suddenly, but seeing that the child didn't seem to be malicious, they all cast strange glances.
And the little boy who was held by the child was stunned, and said timidly, "Who are you?"
"You don't remember me? I'm Zhang Peng." The child held the hand of the boy he called Xiao Fu'er, "That's right, I'm in a girl's costume now, it's normal that you didn't recognize me."
Li Yu seemed to have heard something extraordinary, what?What does it mean to be a daughter's outfit now?Wasn't it before?
Hearing Zhang Peng reveal his identity, Xiao Fuer immediately became disgusted, "Get out, get out"
Zhang Peng thought that Xiao Fuer was disgusted by his daughter's outfit, so he hastily explained, "The reason why I dress up like this is because my father is worried that something will happen to me..." Before he could finish speaking, he was stopped As if hearing something extremely disgusting, Xiao Fu'er shook off Zhang Peng's hand and said viciously, "It's your father who killed my father and caused our group of people to be imprisoned in prison now." This ghostly place that never sees the sun, get out, I will never see you again"
Zhang Peng was at a loss when he heard Xiao Fuer's words, "No, my father wouldn't do that."
Seeing the expression on Xiao Fu'er's face that loathed him more and more, Zhang Junsheng just muttered that sentence aside, Li Yu hurriedly pulled Zhang Peng aside when he saw this, and went forward to ask about it himself. One of the men said vigilantly, "What do you want?"
"Brother, don't worry, I'm not from Zhang Chengyou," Li Yu explained
Hearing what he said, the group of people still didn't quite believe it, after all they watched him come down with Young Master Zhang
Seeing that they were still unwilling to believe Li Yu, he took out his badge from his pocket, "Actually, I am an imperial envoy sent by the emperor to investigate this matter."
Seeing the waist cards, the group of people still half-believed and put down their guard a little bit, at this time the man who spoke before said, "Hmph, so what, the court officers and soldiers are not guarded by officials, we have suffered in this city for so long Time, has the imperial court ever sent someone down to express condolences? Besides, isn’t Zhang Chengyou a member of the imperial court? Who knows if the matter of testing the medicine was also ordered by your imperial court? Don’t say you are an imperial envoy. Even if the emperor Laozi came, we would not believe a word."
After hearing this, everyone felt that it was reasonable, and they repeatedly echoed, "That's right, the imperial court has never taken the lives of our people seriously. Maybe what happened this time was the emperor's idea."
Hearing what they said, Li Yu was about to explain, when he suddenly heard slight footsteps on the ground. The secret passage was not good, and he was afraid that someone was coming, so he pulled Zhang Peng to hide. Sure enough, there were footsteps coming from the bottom of the building not long after. Sounds, it seems there are quite a few people here
The group of people who heard the sound immediately became alert. It seemed that the people who came this time were not easy to mess with, and the door was pushed open soon. A masked man wearing a bamboo hat was the leader, while Zhang Chengyou stood on the right side, followed by Four or five people dressed as guards
"We have taken good care of the people this time, and there will never be another sudden death like last time because of lack of physical strength." Zhang Youcheng said submissively at the side
And when the masked man saw the people in the secret room, his voice immediately became cold, "I said I don't want women, who asked you to arrange these two women here?"
"My lord doesn't know that although most of the people who tested the drug in the last batch died suddenly because they couldn't stand the violent effect of the drug, one woman's response has been pretty good, so this subordinate thinks that they can try it this time." "
Seeing his father, Zhang Peng, who was hiding aside, was about to go out, but was stopped by Li Yu, who shook his head as a signal
"Since this is the case, then do as you say. Anyway, these two women are dead if they don't use it to test the medicine. Now it is their honor to let them try this new medicine." The masked man noticed Little Fuer in the crowd
"Oh? There is a little boy. A boy of this age is the best candidate for drug testing. Hahahaha, yes, what you did this time won my heart. I will take this little boy away." Signal to go down and catch Xiao Fu'er
Seeing that his lost and recovered friend was about to be taken away again, Zhang Peng became anxious, and Li Yu ran out before Li Yu could catch him this time, "No, father."
Seeing his child running out of this place, Zhang Cheng was startled, "Why are you here?"
"Father, don't let them take Xiao Fu'er away, okay?"
At this time, the masked man on the side snorted, making Zhang Chengyi tremble in fright, "Don't talk nonsense, kid, it's his luck that adults want him to test the medicine, and it's none of your business."
"Master Zhang, should you explain to me what's going on?" The masked man spoke, and the coldness in his tone made people shiver
"My lord, please forgive me. This is a little girl. It was a momentary negligence of my subordinates. I didn't expect the child to play and ran into the secret room. I hope my lord will spare me." Zhang Chengyou quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
"It's such a pity, it's actually a girl." The masked man stepped forward and lifted Zhang Peng's face with his hands, and said regretfully, "If it's a boy, this kind of blood is probably more suitable than the one Mr. Zhang found. It's a pity." ah pity"
Hearing what the masked man said, Zhang Chengyou was covered in cold sweat, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "My lord is right, who will let the little girl down?"
The masked man glanced at Zhang Cheng and said, "Okay, take care of Ling Qianjin, this kind of unlucky place, it's not certain whether I can go out next time I come here."
"Yes, yes, my subordinates must be optimistic about the little girl."
Seeing Li Yu came out, the child beckoned him to sit down, "It's just right, you can eat with me, after eating and resting for a while, we will go to the secret room of the study."
The two chatted while eating, and Li Yu knew that the child's mother also died of the plague, so after the death of his mother, his father became more and more strict with him, afraid that something would happen to him.
