Chapter 223 A Past Event

Today there is Er Yuehong's play, Huo Jinshu had already reserved a spot, but was delayed due to some incidents.When she arrived, there was chaos in the audience, but Er Yuehong on the stage was still tactful, apparently she had taken care of it.She went straight to the seat reserved for herself and sat down.

After a play, Huo Jinshu said to Zhang Qishan who had been sitting not far from her: "I heard that the Buddha doesn't like to listen to plays, so it's rare to come today?"

Zhang Qishan said: "I have something to ask the second master. It is not as elegant as the second young lady."

At this time, the butler of the Red Mansion came to invite him, "Master Buddha, Second Lord, please let me tell you about the backstage. Second Miss, Second Lord has a message. Madam invites you to have dinner at the Red Mansion tonight."

Zhang Qishan said: "Since this is the case, Jin Shu might as well go to the backstage together? This matter is related to the stability of Changsha, and Jin Shu may also be interested."

Backstage, Zhang Qishan directly explained his intention.It turned out that a ghost car suddenly drove into Changsha Station a few days ago.The train was full of Japanese who died inexplicably, and there was a coffin of the Southern Dynasty in the train, and a thimble of the Hong family was found in the coffin.

Moreover, according to Qi Baye's deduction, the train arrived in Changsha under the control and guidance of their Qi family masters.According to Zhang Qishan's inference, the train most likely came out of the mine.And the qualified mine around Changsha is the Huo family's territory.

It was also for this reason that Zhang Qishan asked Huo Jinshu to stay and discuss with him.

Er Yuehong remained calm, but Huo Jinshu reached out to take the thimble and took a look. It was decorated with a cuckoo flower. Huo Jinshu said: "It is indeed something from the second master's house. I remember that the second master used to carry a thimble. It seems to be the pattern of daffodils. It's just that I haven't seen it in the past few years since I came back."

Seeing that Er Yuehong remained silent, Zhang Qishan became a little anxious, "Is the second master not interested? As far as I know, the Hong family rarely misses it. If this thing is left in the tomb, it means that someone from the Hong family has been folded in it in recent times. The second master It is impossible for this two-generation family to be ignorant of this matter. As long as there are one or two clues, I will not be at a loss. Now that the Japanese are approaching, this kind of thing may hinder the overall situation, so please enlighten me."

Er Yuehong was silent for a while, and said: "I'm afraid I can't help the Buddha with my family's affairs. If I can, I will definitely tell the whole story."

Zhang Qishan sighed.Huo Jinshu said: "Lord Buddha, since the place you mentioned is my Huo family's territory, there must be someone in my family who knows a thing or two. I'll go back and ask.

Second master here, don't embarrass him.In our line of work, it is not easy to make such a determination, so why drag people into the water again? "

Early the next morning, Zhang Qishan brought Qi Baye and his adjutant to the jewelry store.It was seen that Huo Jinshu changed from the skirt attire that people often saw her in Changsha City, and put on a men's riding attire.

She is tall and tall, and her long hair, which has been loose all year round, is now combed into a ponytail and fixed with a red jade hairpin. After the facial features have grown over the years, the baby fat has faded, and now she looks a bit indistinguishable.

Qi Baye was slippery, and he knew Huo Jinshu since he was a child, so he opened his mouth and said, "Oh, my dear, sister Huo's dress has turned into Brother Huo. If I go out for a walk, I don't know if I will be fascinated by Changsha city." How many girls and misses."

Huo Jinshu took the horsewhip, poked him on the shoulder with the handle, and said, "You kid, even though you are slick, if you look back, will I protect you?"

Ba Ye Qi grinned and said: "Hey, who else can you protect if you don't protect me? Before my father died, he sent a letter to you from all over the world. I haven't married a wife yet, you can make me have an accident ?”

Huo Jinshu smiled helplessly: "Poor!"

He said to Zhang Qishan sternly: "Let's go? About the mine, let's talk as we go."

At this moment, Chen Pi ran over in a hurry, took out a stack of documents from his arms, and handed them to Huo Jinshu.Before he could catch his breath, he said: "Second Miss, I asked me to give these things to you to say thank you for helping him solve the trouble. The tomb is dangerous. Although it is inconvenient for the second master to come by himself, he has already shared the things from that year with him. Everything you know is written in the letter."

Huo Jinshu took it, quickly flipped through it and handed it to Zhang Qishan.Then he said to Chen Pi: "Go back and thank the second master for me. These things are very useful."

Chen Pi said: "Second Miss, I will go with you."

Huo Jinshu said: "You also know that the tomb is dangerous, I accept your wish. Go back quickly."

Chen Pi said anxiously: "You let me follow, the master asked me to go with you."

Qi Baye said: "Could it be that there is a place down there that needs to use the second master's family's unique skills, so the second master asked Chen Pi to follow? Sister Huo, I think there must be a reason for the second master to let Chen Pi follow. "

Huo Jinshu thought for a while and agreed.

Several people rode their horses and started on the road. Qi Heng originally led a donkey, but was frightened by Huo Jinshu with a whip, so he compromised and got on the horse too.

Along the way, Huo Jinshu told Zhang Qishan and the others what he had learned from the Huo family.It turned out that the reason why Huo Jinshu's parents disappeared was because they took the mission and left the mine at that time.The more than 20 Huo family members who went out that time were all wiped out, and no one came out with any news.From then on, the Huo family kept silent about the things in the mine.Even the head of the family or Sanniang today may not understand.

It's because I don't want anyone from the Huo family to fold here again.

During the meeting of the Huo family last night, this matter was discussed, and the older generation disapproved of Huo Jinshu's visit to the tomb again.Only Huo Sanniang, who is in charge of the family, expressed her full support.After all, that place has been the territory of the Huo family for more than a hundred years, but several generations of the Huo family have not been able to find out much effective information from it.Now that someone can provide clues and share the risk, the Huo family should not stand by.

Before leaving the mansion this morning, Huo Sanniang selected more than a dozen experts to set off with Huo Jinshu.But Huo Jinshu refused because fortune and misfortune were unpredictable, and this time he was probably just exploring the way.

When we got near the mine, because the mine had been abandoned for a long time, the nearby villages had long been uninhabited.Qi Baye took out the compass to judge the direction, but because of the magnetic field, the compass lost its function.Zhang Qishan and the others started looking for clues.

Qi Baye wandered around the village: "No, this is not right."

Adjutant Zhang asked: "Baye, what's wrong?"

Qi Baye pointed to an iron pot hanging in the yard and said, "Look at this pot."

"Baye, are you hungry?"

Qi Baye pulled Adjutant Zhang over and said: "Look carefully, the clothes around here are all abandoned, but look at this pot, it was obviously used by someone not long ago. It means that not long before we came, here Someone once built a fire and cooked here. But for some unknown reason, they all left overnight."

Zhang Qishan said: "Could it be Japanese?"
