Chapter 186 Infiltrate
"Did you do this by yourself, or were you forced?" Shen Qingling asked him.

"The one who was forced, of course he was forced! My lord, the little one was wronged!" The man hurriedly begged for mercy, "The little one was just caught here, please be aware of the details..."

"Where did they catch you?" Shen Qingling let go of the man and sat aside.

Realizing that his life was saved, the man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I come from Luojia Village, which is far away from here. I was arrested here a month ago. He, he was arrested half a month ago. It’s from the village next door to me.”

"Catch you to wash the sand?" Shen Qingling squinted her eyes, looking deep in thought.

The man nodded quickly.

The people captured from various villages live in this yard. Every six people are in pairs, and they wash the sand day and night. Only when they have cleaned a certain amount of iron sand can they go back.

Those who can go back are said to get a box of gold and silver treasures.

Speaking of this, the man covered his face and began to cry, and said vaguely: "That's a stone, who can wash out a stone of iron sand? There are countless people who died of exhaustion, and this family may not be able to return. gone."

"Want to go home?" Shen Qingling asked him warmly, a plan took shape in her heart.

The man nodded quickly and said, "I want to! Of course I want to! I still have a wife and children and a sick old mother at home. If I don't go back, how will they live?"

Shen Qingling tapped the table with her fingers, and said with stern eyes: "Then I'll ask you and answer, let me figure out what's going on, and then I will guarantee that you can get home safely."

After speaking, Shen Qingling asked again: "Do you have the stick you used to wash the sand with you? If my guess is right, they probably won't let you carry it with you?"

After all, it is a stick made of Xuanshi, which can be used to injure others and protect oneself, but there will be hidden dangers in keeping these people.

"Yes." The man replied, "When we come back here after work every day, the sticks will be taken away. They are very tyrannical. If anyone dares to refuse to pay, they will be beaten up at least, or starved for a few days at most." .”

"Then do you know where their sticks are kept?" Shen Qingling looked around, looking at the furnishings in the house.

Speaking of which, this house is very unique. The stairs are behind the attic and lead straight up and down.

The man frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he hesitated and said: "It seems to be in the building in Dongyuan... I only saw it once, they sent those things in, but then they seemed to change places, I'm not sure Do they have several storage points, don't blame me if I make a mistake."

Shen Qingling tilted her head and recalled the layout of the yard she saw when she came in, and then asked him: "Is it the building in the east yard? The tallest one."

At that time, several people came out to pick up those who came back.

"Yes, it's the tallest building in the east courtyard. I saw them go in with sacks." The man replied.

"Okay." Shen Qingling stood up, straightened her sleeves, and warned the man: "I can indeed rescue you, but it depends on what it is. If you lie to me, you should know what will happen."

"I dare not lie to you, I dare not lie to you." The man waved his hands in a panic

Seeing that the man didn't seem to have the guts to confront him, Shen Qing nodded nimbly, and explained a few more words: "I'm going to that attic now, don't tell anyone that I've been there before I come to save you, you Just pretend like nothing happened."

After finishing speaking, Shen Qingling turned back and pushed open the door, and disappeared into the night in a flash.

Although the man had completely sobered up, after seeing Shen Qingling reaching out so well, he still rubbed his eyes, suspecting that he was dreaming.But the pain on his face was real, so he decided to shut up immediately and do it honestly, not daring to take any chances.

On the other side, Shen Qingling walked out of the yard, and went directly to the direction the man said.There were quite a few guards along the way, but fortunately Shen Qingling's figure was light, and under the cover of the corridor, it didn't take much effort to avoid them all and reach the bottom of the attic.

The guards in the attic are extremely strict. There are twelve people patrolling outside the door alone. Looking in from a distance, you can also see five or six people in the house taking care of something from the window.

If Shen Qingling wanted to get close, she had to have someone to attract her attention, or patiently wait for the guards to change shifts.

Shen Qingling still has this perseverance.

So she squatted in the grass and guarded without moving, until it was dawn, and finally figured out the rules of this group of people changing defenses, and found some opportunities to take advantage of.

While the people on both sides changed their defenses again, Shen Qing civet sneaked under the eaves, leaned up and jumped up, hooked with one hand, and got into the window when no one was watching.

There was no sound at all.

And Shen Qingling's choice of location was also very ingenious, it was the corner of Duobao Pavilion in the house, there was nothing placed here, it was just a wall of Duobao Pavilion on the back, so there was no need to worry about being seen.

"Did you hear anything just now?"

The people inside the house were more cautious than the guards outside. When they heard the wind coming in when the windows opened and closed, they immediately followed the sound to check.

"What are you doing suspiciously?" The other person patted that person on the shoulder, hooked up, and said, "It's about to change shifts, what's the matter? It's just the sound of the wind. Let's have a drink when we go out later? There are a few pretty ladies in that old Zhang village~"

The people on the side giggled and echoed: "Yes, I saw it that day too. It is indeed beautiful, not inferior to the oirans in the city."

Talking about women, the vigilance of this group of people is relatively reduced.

Shen Qingling walked slowly on the stairs in the attic with her body arched. She doesn't know what's going on on the second floor right now, so she has to be careful not to be seen through.

Fortunately, there was only an old man dozing off on the second floor.

Even if Shen Qingling walked past the old man swaggeringly, the man didn't react at all, he slept soundly and didn't make any sound of snoring yet.

The stairs from the second floor to the third floor were locked.

And there are two locks.

If you want to go to the third floor, you have to break the lock.

But Shen Qingling couldn't cause a commotion, so she could only press her mind and turn around on the second floor.

Compared with the first floor of Duobao Pavilion, the second floor is a bit weird. Except for the armchair where the sleeping old man is lying, the other places are full of large wooden boxes similar to coffins.

The box should be full, Shen Qingling exerted all her strength, but she couldn't push it a little bit.

Just when Shen Qingling was trying to open the box, voices came from the stairs, which sounded like the voices of the people on the first floor just now.

"Let's go after the handover. It's dawn, and it's time to go back and rest."

"Old Zhang is still sleeping?"

"Angkor and the others didn't come here either. Did something happen on the way?"
