Chapter 73 The inexplicable death of the fifth concubine

After searching the entire inner courtyard, no one was found. Not to mention finding it, even if it was found, he didn't even see a shadow of a person. Knowing the appearance of the Third Master, he brought a few people to the Fourth Aunt's courtyard. In addition to the two people who were here at the beginning, three were also here.

When he walked to the door of the main room, the third master looked at the people behind him and said.

"You seven come in with me."

The Third Master did not expect, and Leng Xiaobai did not expect that not only one person came here. When he heard that the Third Master brought people in, the three little thieves who stole things naturally knew what would happen if they fell into the Third Master's hand. When Leng Xiaobai came in, they also saw the secret passage they were walking in. Without saying a word, they walked in, and closed the door of the secret passage with their backhand.

"Ah, help..."

The third master, who was looking for someone in the main room, suddenly heard someone shouting for help, and those people came from the study. Even he would not enter here easily. This was not something he had repaired, but he discovered it, and then he used it to solve those who he did not want to stay.

Listening to those voices, the seven people brought in by the third master also rushed over.

"You four go down and see what's going on."

The Third Master said to the four people behind him that he left three because these three people knew this place. Only in the entire mansion knew this place so much. The Third Master could trust them and did not believe that others could betray him.

As the four people entered, even more painful voices came out, as if they were swallowed by demons one by one. As the sound decreased, the matter calmed down. The third master said to the killer behind him.

"To the outside world, it is said that the fifth concubine and the fourth concubine were both sick and died without treatment. They will hold a funeral for them tomorrow."

The third master had no intention of being sad. He didn't care too much whether it was the two lost subordinates or the two concubines who had fallen into the secret passage. Perhaps because of this guilt, he would be better to Yan Xia's mother. At least in Ningcheng, no one could do anything to her. However, it would be difficult for Yan Xia to go back.

As the day after the Third Master married the fifth concubine, news came out of the Third Master's mansion that the two concubines died of illness. White silk was hung in front of the mansion, which was originally decorated with lights and colorful clothes. The news was confirmed. As for what really happened, there were probably not many people who knew it.

The eight brothers did not continue to guard the gate of the inner courtyard, but followed the Third Master. As for why they did this, this was the Third Master's arrangement, and they could not say anything. They always had to rely on others to look like they were under others. Others don't know why they did this, and the eight of them were still very clear in their hearts.

The two most beautiful concubines in the inner courtyard are no longer there, and the third master will not stay in the inner courtyard for a long time, so there is no need to protect them there. The eight brothers hired for a lot of money naturally have no need to be there.

Regarding the entire Third Master’s mansion, the Third Master always cares about his own life. He believes that someone comes to the mansion and can bring the two concubines into that place without knowing it. It is not a problem to kill him. Third Master is very worried.

Leng Xiaobai took Yan Xia and Wen Xiu slowly walked forward against the wall. There was no light here, and he didn't know what he was walking inside. Leng Xiaobai knew that even if he went back, he wouldn't be able to leave here. The door was opened from the outside, unless someone came to pick him up, this possibility was almost zero.

"You follow me closely, the road here is not easy to walk."

Leng Xiaobai reminded that Yan Xia and the other two might not feel that there was nothing near their feet. The snakes passed by their feet, probably because Leng Xiaobai had many close contacts with such animals in the cave. They could feel the familiar smell on Leng Xiaobai, and by the way, they regarded the two people next to him as his partners.

Leng Xiaobai, who was walking forward, suddenly heard the sound of someone coming in, without any light. After those people came in, the door behind was closed, and there was no need to think about what would happen next.

The few people who were not prepared were surrounded by a group of snakes. How could these people have room to fight back in front of these guys who hadn't eaten for a long time? Without a few screams, they slowly calmed down.

Leng Xiaobai, who had very sensitive ears, naturally heard the snakes under his feet also walked to the other side. He could only see the ones here, but the ones there could eat them. They were not fools.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer snakes under their feet, Leng Xiaobai's speed also increased. He groped for the wall next to him, probably in an arc and stopped after they walked into a semicircle. The sparse sounds came from the other side of them, as if to confirm to Leng Xiaobai that there was no problem with the way they were walking.

Although there was no light, the very thin wind coming from the front attracted Leng Xiaobai's attention. This should be the way out. As for why there is only a little light, you still have to walk over to know.

The third master didn't know what was going on under the study. He only knew that no matter who went down, he could not get out. Moreover, when he looked at the dark area and couldn't see clearly what was behind, the black area was very terrifying, but he didn't know that behind the black area was a snake cave.

Snakes do not need too strong light, and even if they don’t have one, it doesn’t matter. They can see where their prey is located in the dark. As for the sudden appearance of human figures, they don’t know what to do. At most, they can only hold on to the army.

The third master didn't know that there was a treasure trove behind the snake cave. When he saw it for the first time, Leng Xiaobai was a little unbelievable. Compared with the cave, this place was a very abundant mine. As for whether there was food here, from the calmness of the air here to the strangeness, it should be gone.

If there were foods that could be eaten up, the guys in the snake cave would have been eaten up long ago and could still be kept until now, unlike the sustainable development strategy in the cave.

Walking into a very narrow hole, even a person has to curl up his body before he can enter from here. After the three of them go in one by one, some very dim phosphor on the wall caught their attention.

The surroundings are still very dark, but compared to the invisible black outside, this place is already pretty good. No matter what you see, it is just a contour. As for what those things are, they are not what they should care about now. They need a way out of here.

Leng Xiaobai saw the gray wolf standing in front of her, in case of any sudden change, and could also respond in time. When walking on the way out of here, they did not move the things next to her. Wenxiu had never seen these things. After the things just now, she was so scared that she was inseparable from Leng Xiaobai, let alone go and see what they were.
