Chapter 239 Questions
While Su Chengnan was thinking, someone came back from the front yard.
It was Aoyama and Otoji, and Otoji was slightly injured.
"Miss!"
"What's going on? Have you found out anything?" She took out medicine from the space and handed it to Yi Er while hiding it with her sleeve.
Yi Er took over and said, "I am incompetent and cannot enter the City Lord's Mansion."
Qingshan quickly added, "The security at the City Lord's Mansion is tighter than before. When we arrived, we saw a group of people dressed strangely entering the mansion. The swords they were wearing didn't look like those of people from the Central Plains. We suspect they were from the White Bear Country."
Su Chengnan clenched his palms and his mood dropped to freezing point.
Yi Er: "There are string music and drums in the City Lord's Mansion. They must be hosting a banquet."
Su Chengnan recalled what Bingsan had just said: the wealthy merchants nearby had been invited to the City Lord's Mansion. "The people outside are facing life and death, and yet they're still enjoying themselves inside?! This is simply infuriating."
Su Chengnan hated it very much.
Everyone was very angry and the cursing continued.
"asshole!"
"How can someone like this be qualified to be a city lord?"
"This is the traitor who takes human life lightly! He deserves to be killed!"
Su Chengnan thought about it and realized that this further proved that there was something wrong with the City Lord's Mansion. Han Liping must have reached some kind of agreement with the other party. Humph, he just said that he would fight hard against the enemy, which was all bullshit!
This situation is obvious.
Han Liping was colluding with the other party from both inside and outside, he was a traitor.
At this time, Bingsan jumped down from the roof.
He hurried over and said, "Miss, the City Lord's Housekeeper left the Song family and went into the innermost courtyard. He never came out again."
Su Chengnan was puzzled: "The small house? The one at the very edge that's often haunted?"
Bingsan nodded, "Yes."
Su Chengnan: "Go over and take a look, and bring him back to me!"
Bingsan and Yier clasped their fists and said, "Yes! I'll go now."
The two left quickly.
Unfortunately, when he came back, he didn't bring the person back.
Su Chengnan: "Where are the people?"
Bing San shook his head. "The building is deserted! There's no one there at all."
Uncle Fu was startled, "Could it be really haunted?"
Su Chengnan scolded: "Impossible! If that were true, how could he have rushed to his death? There must be something wrong, go and investigate!"
"Yes!" The two men clasped their fists.
"and many more!"
A hoarse voice came from the back room and called out to everyone.
Su Chengnan turned around when he heard the voice and frowned slightly: "Uncle, you..."
Liang Yaoping, supported by his two children, walked over and said, "I've heard from fellow villagers that there's a house in this alley with a secret passage leading to the City Lord's Mansion."
"Really?" Qingshan called out urgently.
"My fellow villager has been in Ningguta for many years. He heard this from his father. The people who built it all died later. He told me this to repay me for saving his life. However, he didn't know which house it was. It seems... it must be the haunted house."
"That makes sense!" Su Chengnan nodded.
Bing San asked tentatively, "If that's the case, then the butler most likely escaped back to the City Lord's Mansion through this secret passage? So, can we also go through this secret passage?"
"No wonder when I met him, I was wondering why he appeared here alone. He knew that there was chaos outside, but he didn't bring any guards with him? It seems that he came in through the secret passage." Qingshan also interrupted in time.
Suddenly, another secret guard jumped down from the roof and said anxiously, "Oh no! There are more and more thieves outside. We brothers can't hold on any longer!"
"What?!" Qingshan quickly flew to the roof.
"Go and help!"
"Yes! Let's go, brothers!"
Bingsan and Yier rushed out immediately with their men.
……
Outside the Su residence.
The fat man's outer robe was cut into many holes, and the cotton inside was exposed. The white cotton was stained with bright red blood, making him look particularly disheveled.
"Fat man, are you okay?"
"Second brother, third brother! I'm fine, I won't die. Damn, these people are too fierce, be careful, these are not the same level as when we attacked Beiling, if you are not careful, you will get into trouble!"
"Okay, leave the front to us, you guys finish off the enemy."
"Row!"
There were about thirty enemies, and they were all forced into the alley.
After Su Chengnan saw the situation clearly at the door, he ordered firmly: "This door is our line of defense, don't lock it!"
The doorman was so frightened that he couldn't speak and could only nod repeatedly.
Uncle Fu came over to persuade her, "Miss, please come back first. It's too dangerous outside."
Su Chengnan stepped back and said, "I'll go to the backyard to take a look. Don't lose the backyard while focusing on the front."
When she thought of this, she felt extremely panicked. She immediately lifted her skirt and ran as fast as she could, ignoring Uncle Fu's voice chasing and shouting from behind. She just wanted to go over and take a look.
When Su Chengnan ran over breathlessly, she found Su Linhua in the backyard. It would have been faster for her to ask directly in the space!
Ah, I was so anxious that I was confused.
"Sister, is everything okay up ahead?" Su Linhua came forward.
"Well, we can still hold on. How are you guys doing here?" She looked around and felt that everything was in order, with no signs of chaos.
Su Linhua smiled and pointed at Chen Gang, saying, "With Brother Chen here, the backyard is safe! Even the children are brave enough to guard it with sticks in hand."
"That's good, that's good!" Su Chengnan breathed a sigh of relief, and a corner of the huge rock in his heart was moved away.
Gangzi retreated from the front and ran to Su Chengnan and asked, "What's going on ahead? Is there any danger?"
Su Chengnan's face was solemn. "The neighbors on both sides have all retreated. We are the only ones holding on. These people are clearly coming for us. They are all experts. They are under a lot of pressure."
When Liu Laosan, who was not far away, heard this, he grabbed the stick at hand and rushed over and said, "Miss, I, Liu Laosan, am not afraid of death. You don't need me here in the backyard, so let me go to the front to help."
Several others chimed in, "And me! We can all go."
Gangzi seemed to want to go too. He looked around and finally his eyes fell on Chen Gang and his legs. In the end, he said nothing.
Su Chengnan saw that he was very rational at this time and expressed her admiration in her heart. She patted Gangzi on the shoulder and said, "The backyard is our backyard. I am relieved to leave it to you!"
Gangzi nodded, "We are enough here, Lao San and the others can go to the front."
Su Chengnan didn't hesitate and said sternly, "I won't let you die. Just stay in the front yard and cheer for everyone. I believe in the ability of the secret guards. The other party won't be able to get in!"
"Okay! Let's go! Brothers." The third brother waved to the people behind him, and they left quickly.
Su Chengnan patted Su Linhua's hand, turned around and chased after them.
