There is something underneath
"I remember that the government seized the property and fields of Li Dashan's family, and the descendants of the Li family were also expelled from Lijia Village."
"Could it be that the chamber pot man is also from the Black Lotus? So he knows this passage?"
"Sister, how about I go catch the chamber pot guy and interrogate him face to face?" Liu Xueyun asked.
Just after asking, Liu Xueyun immediately changed his words, "No, I have to stay to protect your safety. It's better to wait until we get up and ask again."
Yang Ruoqing smiled, "It's empty here, so there shouldn't be anything dangerous, but the strange thing is, why does my third brother feel like he's being summoned?"
Liu Xueyun was also puzzled, because wherever he looked, he really couldn't see anything wrong.
"Qing'er, are you okay? We're coming in too!"
Yang Huazhong's voice suddenly came from the direction outside the door.
This time, Yang Ruoqing didn't stop her.
Listening to the footsteps, Yang Huazhong and Yang Yongzhi were not the only ones who came in. I guessed that Li Jia came in with a "large army".
Sure enough, soon the light of the torch approached, and the sound of footsteps came closer, led by Yang Huazhong, followed by Yang Yongzhi, Li Jia, several village elders, and a group of young and strong villagers.
They carried hoes, shovels, and poles, and some even brought hatchets from home.
Looking at the tense and novel faces, Yang Ruoqing could only sigh silently: It's no coincidence.
If you really encounter a big boss, these hoes and sickles will be useless.
However, the courage of the villagers who came down to help is worthy of praise.
"Qing'er, how are you doing here? Did you find anything?"
Unlike others whose attention was attracted to the stone chamber after entering, Yang Huazhong didn't bother to look at the place he was in. Instead, he came straight to Yang Ruoqing, looked up and down, and found that she was intact, and then he felt relieved.
"Dad, I'm fine."
Yang Ruoqing responded and turned her gaze to Li Jia. She found that the expressions of Li Jia and several village elders had changed. They must have recognized where they were.
"Li Lizheng, some village elders, you should recognize this place, right?" Yang Ruoqing came over and asked.
Li Jia nodded, "To be honest, this was the secret room of Li Dashan's family back then!"
The village elder behind him who had a black tumor on his mouth also said with a horrified look on his face: "It's strange. Back then, Li Dashan's bad deeds were exposed and his home was confiscated. His yard was sealed. The court always wanted to auction it."
People can afford it, but even if they can afford it, they wouldn’t dare to live there.”
"Why don't you dare to stay?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
After uncovering the moth that Li Dashan was hidden among the public, she and Luo Fengtang were busy doing other things and did not pay attention to the follow-up of this matter.
"Li Dashan has done so many evil things, and his hands are stained with the blood of countless innocent children. Children are often heard crying in the Li family yard at night, and even homeless people dare not spend the night here!
"
"What happened next?"
"Later? Later, many of these houses fell into disrepair and collapsed. Our village predecessor, Li Zheng, went to the town security chief's house. When he came back, he gathered everyone to demolish the Li family yard. No one dared to build this foundation.
When building a house, someone proposed to build a grain drying field here, but no, there is a grain drying field above our heads!"
"Then when you first built the drying yard, how did you deal with this secret room?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.
Li Jia shook his head, "I wasn't upright at that time, I don't know, but when I discovered the secret room, I came down with everyone to have a look. I have to ask a few village elders, they were involved at the time.
They knew."
The village elder with the black tumor stood up again and pulled Li Jia back, making Li Jia change from his standing posture to that of a follower.
"When the grain drying field was built, everyone said that the secret room was evil and filled with resentment. It was best to seal it up."
"So we blocked the exit over there with big rocks. When we built a grain drying field on it, we specially pulled dozens of carts of gravel and soil from the back mountain to press it on top. The barrier was tight.
It's a human being, not even a fly can fly in."
"But, I didn't expect that there would be a passage in the chamber pottery man's latrine. I really didn't expect it..."
"It seems that we have to arrest the chamber pot man for interrogation." Yang Ruoqing turned her head and glanced at Liu Xueyun. Liu Xueyun understood and turned around and headed for the exit.
Here, Yang Ruoqing suddenly looked around and her eyes changed: "Dad, where is my third brother?"
Yang Huazhong was stunned for a moment and said, "He came in with me just now..."
His eyes swept through the villagers one by one, but Yang Yongzhi was nowhere to be found.
"Over there, brother Yongzhi is there!"
Li Jia had sharp eyes and suddenly pointed at a corner of the wall and shouted loudly.
It turned out that there was the stone stool that Liu Xueyun had kicked over earlier. Yang Yongzhi was squatting behind the stone stool and was pulling the ground with both hands.
Because the stone stool is relatively tall and Yang Yongzhi is squatting, it is really difficult to see it without looking carefully.
"Yongzhi, what are you doing squatting there? Come here quickly!"
Yang Yongzhi remained unmoved.
Yang Huazhong became even more anxious. What happened to this boy tonight? He was acting crazy again and again. If I had known this, I shouldn't have brought him here.
Yang Huazhong wanted to shout again, but Yang Ruoqing had already walked up to Yang Yongzhi.
"Third brother, what are you looking for?"
She stood behind him and found that he was groping with his fingers for the floor tile he was squatting on, tapping it from time to time, and then leaned down and put his ear to the ground to listen.
So much so that Yang Ruoqing asked him twice in a row before he raised his head.
"Qing'er, there's something under the floor."
Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows, "Third brother, are you sure?"
Yang Yongzhi nodded vigorously, "That feeling disappears here. Really, Qing'er, believe me, there must be something underneath."
Yang Ruoqing pulled him aside and said to the other people who gathered around him: "Everyone, please spread out. Don't be afraid of getting your eyes hurt."
A man in the crowd asked: "Mrs. Luo, are you going to pry open this stone slab? Let us do it. I brought a shovel and a hoe."
Yang Ruoqing waved her hand: "I'm afraid I can't handle the shovel and hoe..."
The man was unconvinced and laughed, "How is that possible? Keep an eye out!"
He recruited several men together. They all rolled up their sleeves, spit into their palms and rubbed them together. Then they picked up their hoe, shovel, and hammer, and smashed them down almost at the same time.
"boom!"
"Bang!"
"Boom!"
The ground was shaking, and the candles lit on the wall pedestals shook a few times. The dust dispersed, and the ground was still intact, without even a crack.
"This can't be done!"
The leading man scratched his head, widened his eyes, and looked confused.
Li Jia came over and squatted down to touch the ground, "This is not an ordinary stone slab, I'm afraid there is another mechanism..."
"I'm not looking for you anymore, everyone, let me go."
Yang Ruoqing waved her hand again and drove the person aside. After the lesson learned just now, the man before was too embarrassed to stop him anymore and quickly picked up the shovel and stepped aside.
