Chapter 360: Dungeon? Visiting the Scumbag Dad’s Study Room at Night
After she said that, Yao Qingnian felt that the study was the strangest thing and she had to go and take a look.
"Shanwei, get ready. We'll go to Shen Wenting's study tonight."
"Miss, we want to go to Lord Shen's study, but there are people guarding outside the door, and their skills don't seem to be weak. How can we get in?" Although Shan Wei knows kung fu, she is not sure if she has a chance of winning if she fights with the two of them, and it will definitely cause quite a stir.
"Don't worry about that. Go and prepare! I have my own way."
Late at night, the two changed into night clothes and headed for Shen Wenting's yard. There was a theft in the mansion, and the guards had stepped up patrols, with twice as many people as usual. It took them a long time to finally reach the outside of the yard.
She had already inquired before coming and found out that Shen Wenting was not in the mansion. He was probably with Runiang again. Things would be much easier without him.
Climbing up a tree not far from the study, Yao Qingnian took out a pill and quickly threw it into the lantern outside the study.
"What's that sound?" One of them became alert and looked around. Oh, Shen Wenting found a good person, he is very alert.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
"Brother, did you hear any sound?"
"There is no sound in the yard except for the two of us. Are you too nervous about what happened in the mansion today?" The other servant on guard also became alert and looked around, but the surroundings were quiet. Except for the occasional sound of crickets, there was no other movement.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it, but it's always better to be cautious. If something goes wrong, watch out for your head and mine."
"Big brother is right. I will cheer up now. After changing shifts at dawn, I will go back and have a good sleep. When I wake up, I will treat you to a drink." The other man smiled and then yawned. He felt strange. Why was he so sleepy today? He shook his head and cheered up.
The dim light from the lantern flickered in the night, and a few wisps of faint white smoke drifted away. After a long while, the two fell asleep unknowingly and collapsed at the door of the study.
"Let's go!"
Yao Qingnian jumped down from the tree, and after making sure that the two were really asleep, he and Shan Wei entered Shen Wenting's study.
When you open the door, the first thing you see is a large desk, the surface of which is made of smooth marble with fine texture. On the desk are placed the four treasures of the study: a Duan inkstone with the fragrance of ink and several brushes with upright tips.
The entire study is paved with the finest nanmu, and the natural fragrance of nanmu emanates, adding a sense of tranquility and elegance to the study.
The walls on the left side of the study were covered with calligraphy and paintings, many of which she seemed to have seen on Chen Shuhua's dowry list.
There is a chair by the window, with exquisite patterns carved on the back. Sitting on the chair, you can see the scenery in the courtyard through the carved window. I have to say, this scumbag dad knows how to enjoy himself.
On the right side of the study is a bookcase filled with books and materials. Next to the bookcase is an antique shelf with several porcelain vases for decoration.
She and Shan Wei acted separately and began to check the study. After a look around, they didn't find anything wrong. Just when they found nothing, Yao Qingnian came to the desk. Her foot accidentally stepped on a piece of floor. She suddenly squatted down and knocked gently with her hand, and the ground made a "dong dong dong" sound.
"Miss, what's wrong?"
"Shanwei, come and take a look."
Shan Wei walked over, squatted down, and repeated the same action as Yao Qingnian, then widened his eyes: "It seems to be empty inside?"
"Yes, look for it quickly! These usually have a mechanism."
After that, the two began to look for it. They moved everything on the table, but they didn't find the switch. As time passed, Shan Wei couldn't help but get anxious: "Miss, could it be that we made a mistake? This may just be an ordinary wooden board, and it's just not filled up underneath."
"No, look for it again."
Yao Qingnian believed in her intuition. She started rummaging on the desk again. Suddenly, a brush rolled to the ground. Just as she bent down to pick up the brush, she saw a small grid protruding from under the desk. It was invisible without careful observation. It completely blended with the color of the desk. She pushed it tentatively, and the floor creaked open.
Yao Qingnian and Shan Wei looked at each other and jumped towards the open hole. After entering, it was pitch black. Shan Wei lit a fire stick and there was a breeze. It seemed that this basement should lead to the outside.
After the tinderbox was lit, she saw some valuable items in the basement, but she didn't see the things that were lost in the storeroom, and there was a long passage that led to nowhere. She didn't care about that, and while Shan Wei turned around, she put all the valuables into the space.
Then they followed Shan Wei into the passage, and soon they arrived at a dungeon. With the light of the tinder, they could see the situation in the dungeon clearly. They were both shocked to see several old corpses lying on the ground beside the dungeon.
"Miss, there is someone over there!" In the water dungeon not far away, there was a person with an unclear face, skinny, long hair, and tattered clothes. He was hung by chains, and it was unknown whether he was dead or not.
"I'll go over and take a look."
"Miss, let me go!" No one could have imagined that Lord Shen, who looked clean on the surface, actually had such a dark dungeon under his study. Shan Wei walked forward, but before he could say anything, the locked person suddenly moved.
"Shen Wenting! You are a hypocritical villain with a sanctimonious appearance! Kill me if you have the guts! What's the point of locking me up here! I'm telling you! I will never give you the things even if I die! Don't dream in vain! Bah! I'll kill you!"
It was a man. He pulled the chains, making a harsh sound in the water dungeon. He tried to break free from the chains in an almost crazy state, cursing Shen Wenting as a beast. He pounced towards Yao Qingnian and the others. Fortunately, he was restrained by the iron chains, and when he was about to get close to them, the man was firmly restrained.
The enemy of the scumbag father is her friend. Yao Qingnian stepped forward and said, "Uncle, don't get excited. Calm down first. I am not Shen Wenting! Who are you? Why are you locked up here?"
The man looked through the messy hair and used the moonlight to see the two people in black clothes in front of him: "Oh, how can he do it on his own? Why don't you two come over?"
