Chapter 123 Underground Slabs
Yuan Man thought of something, paused, looked at Hui Chengyuan and said, "Is there a way that they are inciting the people by threatening them with the Five Stone Powder?"
Hui Chengyuan took the cotton cloth from her hand and said, "It's not impossible, but it's impossible for so many people to be taking Wu Shi San."
"However, as long as it is done by humans, it will be exposed sooner or later."
"It may be because we came here suddenly today that the other party did not take action. But tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, they will definitely take action again."
Gu Cheng sat up straight and asked, "How about sending some more people to keep an eye on them?"
Hui Chengyuan shook his head. "Too many people will easily alert the enemy. Lingkong can just keep an eye on him."
Yuan Man thought of the anomaly on the farm and asked, "How is your investigation going on with the Five Stone Powder?"
Hui Chengyuan looked at her. Although he was surprised why she suddenly mentioned Wushisan, he still said, "I have checked it out. It is somewhat related to the Lou family, but it was not done by the Lou family's direct descendants."
"However, Ling Yang has already taken down the den, and all the tools have been destroyed."
"What's wrong? Did you find something?"
Yuan Man looked at him and said, "Remember I said before that I went to Xunxian Tower? I don't have any other information about Xunxian Tower, but I did find out some information about the Lou family selling Wushisan."
"The Lou family's direct descendants were not directly involved, but they were the ones directing behind the scenes. The collateral descendants were the ones manipulating the work, and the people who produced the work were all hired from outside."
"Yesterday I went to a new farm I bought and found that the manager and the farmers were making Wu Shi San."
"Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, based on Yuan Er's description, I can confirm that it is the Five Stones Powder."
Hui Chengyuan frowned, "Are they also from the Lou family?" Otherwise, how could an ordinary steward have access to these things.
"The Lou family didn't buy the manor in order to exclude themselves from the fray."
Yuan Man nodded, "That's what I thought, otherwise Zhuangzi wouldn't have come into my hands."
"Listening to their conversation, they seem to be helping the Lou family keep some secret." She was very curious about this secret.
Hui Chengyuan glanced at the sky and said, "Gu Cheng, make arrangements. We will go over to take a look overnight."
Before Gu Chen could agree, Yuan Man immediately said, "I want to go, too."
Hui Chengyuan disagreed and said, "Since there is a secret there, it should be very dangerous. You wait for me to come back at the inn, okay?"
"I'm not afraid of danger. I know martial arts, otherwise I wouldn't run around." Yuan Man said as he turned around and flew onto the roof.
Gu Cheng looked on with his mouth wide open.
Hui Chengyuan was only slightly surprised, then waved at her, "Come down, let's go together."
Yes, she is not an ordinary woman. I can't restrain her. At most, I can just stay by her side and protect her.
After Yuan Man came down, Gu Cheng looked at her and said, "I didn't expect that Madam is so talented."
Just now I saw her flying to the roof using Qing Kung Fu, and it was obviously very easy, which shows that her internal strength is also strong.
Yuan Man raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It's just the tip of the iceberg."
Yuanbao had just finished his meal and was still energetic, so Yuanman accompanied him for a walk in the yard and only put him back to the room after he fell asleep.
"Yuanwu, Yuanliu, keep an eye on your young master." After saying that, he pulled Hui Chengyuan out.
Gu Chen glanced at the place where Yuan Wu and Yuan Liu responded, but saw nothing.
Only now did he realize that this woman was accompanied by a group of secret guards.
Yuan five, Yuan six, it was obvious that she was her own secret guard.
The group arrived at Qingfang City's farm at the end of the Xu hour, and then, led by Yuan Er, they sneaked directly into the cellar that Yuan Er had seen before.
Seeing those tools, Ling Yang immediately stepped forward and said, "These are indeed the tools for making Wu Shi San."
Hui Chengyuan looked at it and said, "Ling Yang, find a way to control that manager."
"Yes." Ling Yang agreed and immediately left the cellar.
Gu Cheng took a look and followed Ling Yang out of the cellar.
Yuanman took a quick look and saw nothing, so he left the cellar and looked around the farm again.
Even if they were busy making Wu Shi San, they couldn't let three hundred acres of land go to waste.
"What's wrong? Did you find anything?" Hui Chengyuan came to her and asked.
Yuan Man pointed at the wasteland and said, "It's very unusual to have such a large area left barren."
"Even if you can buy grain, you still have to grow some vegetables. Besides, no matter how rich a farmer is, it's their nature to grow grain."
"No, unless the land here cannot be used for farming, or there is something in the land that prevents them from farming anymore."
"Last time I came here, every time the steward was mentioned, the farmers were very dissatisfied, but they didn't dare to say anything. It should be related to these lands."
After Hui Chengyuan heard what she said, he flew towards the center of the open space.
Yuan Man followed closely behind him and handed him the hoe he had brought with him, "Go ahead and dig."
Hui Chengyuan took it with a smile and started digging.
Yuanman didn't expect that he was wielding the hoe so realistically, he must have worked in the fields before.
After digging for about half a meter, a stone slab appeared underneath. After seeing the stone slab, Hui Chengwu stopped digging and instead knocked on the stone slab with a hoe.
Listening to the sound, you can tell that there is nothing underneath.
Yuan Man stepped forward and took a look at the stone slab. "It's ordinary white granite."
"If this area is covered with stone slabs like this, there is probably an underground palace underneath."
Hui Chengyuan shook his head and said, "An underground palace is impossible, because this kind of stone slab is not large and is too close to the ground. If you build an underground palace underneath, it will easily collapse."
"If they really wanted to build an underground palace, they could have built it in the mountains, which would be less likely to be discovered and more stable."
Yuan Man squatted down and knocked on the stone slab with his hand, "What could be underneath?"
Hui Chengyuan was naturally also guessing.
After they waited for a while, Ling Yang and Gu Cheng came with Manager Liu.
Manager Liu looked at them with a pale face, "Who are you? The owner of my manor is not an ordinary person. If you dare to mess around and offend our owner, I will not forgive you."
Gu Cheng and Ling Yang both looked at Yuan Man.
Yuan Man shrugged and said, "Why are you looking at me? Do you think he knows me?"
"Look at what's underneath and let him talk about it."
Gu Cheng took a look at the stone slab and didn't think anything of it at first. After all, it was normal to have a stone underground. But after looking at it carefully, he found that the stone slab had been chiseled.
So he drew his sword and put it on Manager Liu's neck and said, "Tell me what happened."
When Manager Liu saw that they had dug out the stone slabs, his face turned pale and he immediately shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I was only responsible for burying these stone slabs. I really don't know what they are used for."
"I don't think you will cry until you see the coffin." Gu Cheng said, and cut a cut on his neck.
"No, don't kill me, I really don't know." Manager Liu was trembling all over.
"The Lou family gave me two thousand taels of silver and asked us to arrange for someone to dig a stone slab half a meter deep at this time, but they didn't tell me what it was for."
