Chapter 161 Strange house
With just one glance, Ye Anlan could see the cause of the old woman's death, "She was beaten to death by someone hitting the back of the head with a blunt instrument."
She called the servant whose toes were forward but subconsciously turned backward, "Come here and see if you recognize this person."
The servant was unwilling, but he didn't dare to show it _(:з」∠)_, he tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart, and leaned over to glance at the woman in a hurry.
"Yes, it's Mama Xiang next to Mrs. Liu."
Ye Anlan frowned, "Is it your former master's confidante?"
The servant nodded vigorously.
Ye Anlan had a bad feeling in her heart, she glanced at her two companions, "Let's go in and have a look."
Yang Xiaotao and Wen Liuniang nodded in unison, and the three of them walked into Erjin's courtyard. The servant was swept away by Ye Anlan, so he had no choice but to follow him step by step.
Ye Anlan looked around and found that the Erjin courtyard was almost divided into two parts evenly, so she had a guess in her heart.
She asked the servant, "Your master's two concubines all live in this second courtyard?"
The servant nodded, "Originally the master wanted them to live in the second and the third, but the two ladies wanted to be closer to the master's front yard."
Ye Anlan curled her lips, and ordered Yang Xiaotao and Wen Liuniang to investigate the situation in the courtyard on the left, while she led the timid servant into the courtyard on the right.
A moment later, the three masters and servants, plus a timid guide, met again on the corridor outside the two courtyards.
Ye Anlan was the first to speak, "That Mrs. Liu did have an accident, I saw her dead body."
Yang Xiaotao glanced at Wen Liuniang, "Liu Niang said that Mrs. Xiao on the left must have run away with gold and silver."
Although the room was messy, nothing was damaged, and there were no suspicious bloodstains on the floor, walls, or furniture.
In such a situation, if no one is alive or dead, there is a high probability that he left the house on his own initiative.
Ye Anlan frowned, "Have you tried to find a dark room or mechanism?"
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "I found it, I even smashed a wall."
Ye Anlan: Very good, won her true biography_(:з」∠)_
"Then let's go to the Sanjin courtyard to have a look." Ye Anlan always felt that the Sanjin courtyard shouldn't just be empty there.
A group of four people kept the original formation and entered the third entrance courtyard. As soon as they entered, Ye Anlan discovered that the third entrance had actually set up a five-element and eight-diagram formation in her opinion.
Ye Anlan didn't know the so-called formations at first. The knowledge of formations she knew was all taught to her by Wei Zhen privately after she decided to take the initiative to attack the city.
Wei Zhen was born in a military family, and his ancestors once gave birth to a second-rank general. Although in recent years, there has been a descendant of her father who was more successful but died young, but where is the accumulation of the Wei family?
There are as many as seven military formations that ordinary people have no way to learn. The Wei family has handed down a total of seven.
This five elements and eight trigrams formation is also one of the formations handed down by the Wei family.
Although the military formation is slightly different from the static formation made of flowers, plants, trees, and rock bonsai, the former owner of this house obviously only has a superficial understanding of this formation. Ye Anlan didn't even use the formation he painstakingly set up. If you move the reinforcements, you can use her half-baked formation level to quickly get rid of them.
She rubbed her hands, and said to Yang Xiaotao and the others excitedly: "We actually set up a formation, it seems we are going to catch a big leak."
Wen Liuniang silently moved her eyes away. She was once a lady of the family, and like Pei Huaiyu, she couldn't adapt to Ye Anlan's occasional farmer's air.
Yang Xiaotao didn't think Ye Anlan's act of rubbing her hands was inappropriate at all, she frowned happily, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's find it now!"
Ye Anlan shook her head, "Although the formation is the only thing you can see on the bright side, none of us can tell if there are other dangers inside."
She looked at Wen Liuniang, "Liu Niang, take this man back, and then bring a hundred soldiers over here. When you come, Xiaotao and I will go in and find out."
She and Yang Xiaotao are very skilled. In case of any unexpected situation, if no one else hinders them, there is a high probability that they will be able to escape unscathed.
But just in case, Ye Anlan decided to get a group of soldiers over here first.
With them guarding here, at least Ye Anlan doesn't have to worry about being plotted against.
Wen Liuniang answered "Yes" and went out to help her shake people, while Ye Anlan took Yang Xiaotao, and carefully poked her head at the junction of the second courtyard and the third courtyard to observe the layout of the third courtyard, environment.
By the time Wen Liuniang rushed over with Ge Tianrong and a hundred soldiers, Ye Anlan had already observed everything that Sanjin Yard could observe on the surface.
Ge Tianrong's arrival surprised Ye Anlan. She asked Ge Tianrong, "Is there anything I need to take care of?"
Ge Tianrong shook his head, "It was my subordinate who heard that the girl was going to break the line, so he recommended himself and followed Miss Wen here."
Ye Anlan was surprised, "You understand this?"
"Learned a bit."
Ye Anlan is a real person, "Then you better not go, I have learned a little bit, but I am better than you, even if something is wrong, I will break the formation violently."
Ge Tianrong:
He cleared his cough, "My enlightenment mentor has learned extremely mixed things. When I was studying in my hometown, my mentor taught me these miscellaneous learnings a lot."
It’s not that he wants to sell himself and boast, it’s that his girls can’t understand the “modest” style of their scholars who don’t talk too much_(:з」∠)_
Ye Anlan immediately understood when she heard it, the co-author Ge Tianrong is quite knowledgeable.
She immediately excluded Yang Xiaotao, "Then I'll break the formation with you, and if you make a mistake, I can at least lead you out safely."
After years of hard work and hard work, her internal strength has now grown somewhat, and what they have to face now is just a rough formation set up by the leader of a small rebel army. Ye Anlan feels that it is better for her to protect Ge Tianrong while protecting herself. no problem.
Ge Tianrong bowed to her, "Then I will be in trouble."
He also cherishes his own life ┓(`)┏, even if he is 100% sure to solve the formation, but who can guarantee that there is only one formation in this yard?
In case there is some mechanism, trap, etc., he really has to point to martial arts masters like Ye Anlan for help_(:з」∠)_
The two walked side by side to the gate of Sanjin's courtyard, facing Yang Xiaotao's sad eyes.
Ye Anlan was fully alert and waiting to deal with any emergencies, while Ge Tianrong observed carefully before starting to break the formation with a calm face.
