Chapter 2322 Used to be my home
The four people in the carriage suddenly turned their heads and looked at him with a "swoosh".
"Mr. Shen, what did you just say?"
Shen Yuan raised his head, swept across the faces of several people, and then said, "The current Xinming Pavilion used to be my mansion."
Gu Yundong was really shocked now, Mr. Shen's former home was the one in the east of the city?
Shen Yuan said, "There was a high-ranking official living in that house a long time ago. When Taizu was still alive, his house was raided because of a crime, and the house was vacant for a while. Later, Taizu gave me a reward, and I When I was looking for someone to repair it, I found that the house had a secret passage leading directly to the outside."
It's just that he was later demoted by Taizu to Yongning House as a prefect. It was said that he was demoted, but it was actually Taizu who had a secret mission for him to do. But he still had to make a show of it to the outside world, so Taizu took the mansion back.
But before leaving, in order to avoid trouble, Shen Yuan didn't want people to think that he deliberately dug a secret passage to be shameful, so he asked people to block the secret passage.
Later, Shen Yuan returned to the capital after completing the task. When the Taizu rewarded the mansion again, it was a mansion that was closer to the palace and more luxurious. This house, on the contrary, changed hands several times, and finally fell on the Yan family's head, becoming the current Xinming Pavilion.
"At that time, I asked someone to block both ends of the secret passage. Now if I want to use it, it is still easy to dig it out."
He didn't live in that house for a long time, and he was definitely not the only one who knew the secret way.
Shao Qingyuan immediately asked, "Where does the other end of the secret passage lead?"
"It's in the small bamboo forest two lanes away from Xinming Pavilion." The environment in this place is relatively quiet. The small bamboo forest that Shen Yuan said is not very big, but it grows lush and green.
There used to be a house over there. Later, the house collapsed. It was rumored that there was a ghost in the house and it was not suitable to start building a house. It slowly turned into a small bamboo forest, but not many people passed by.
Shao Qingyuan lifted the curtain of the car without saying a word, and let Shao Wen go directly to the small bamboo forest.
Fortunately, they are about to arrive at Xinming Pavilion, and it is not far from here.
If possible, it is more convenient for them to enter through the secret passage of the small bamboo forest.
Gu Yundong was a little worried and didn't know if Ge Shi could block those officers and soldiers. She raised her eyes and asked Shen Yuan, "What about the other part of the secret passage? Where is it in Xinming Pavilion?"
"Backyard." Shen Yuan thought for a while, took the water bladder beside him, and after dipping his fingers in a little water, he simply drew a location map on the wall of the car, "It's here."
"This is... near the warehouse?" Gu Yundong frowned.
While the others were talking, the carriage stopped, and Shao Wen's voice sounded outside, "Master, Madam, the little bamboo forest is here."
Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong both jumped off the carriage, and Shen Yuan was also helped out.
Here only he knows the exact location.
Shen Yuan thought about it, and finally walked towards the northwest corner of the grove.
Just by the corner of the wall, he pointed to a stone and said, "It's just under the stone."
This stone was piled up by him. It used to be a small pond with water on it. The exit of the secret passage was on the edge of the pond wall. Otherwise, if someone came from the other end of the secret passage and there was a stone on it, there was no way to push it away.
So when he blocked the secret passage, he filled the pond by the way.
This stone is very heavy, and Shao Qingyuan and Shao Wen worked together to remove it.
