An hour ago, the servant handed over a map during a water pouring break, clearly marking the internal passages of Black Cloud Manor and The romantic history of a wretched sea. Sleeping Beauty looked it over and did not find any escape routes.
【Sound of water being poured】
Servant: "Have you seen the red dot above? In an hour, something big will happen at Black Cloud Manor, and someone will take you to the location of this red dot."
Sleeping Beauty: "What kind of place is this?"
Servant (sinisterly): "A place of buried bones, where the waters are green and the afterlife is reborn."
Sleeping Beauty: (Silent for a moment) "Okay. What do I need to do when I get there?"
Servant (finishing pouring water, slowly looks up): "You will know." (Turns and walks away)
Sleeping Beauty: "Can you... tell me who you are?"
Servant: "Do you know 'Spring Night Rain' by the Ministry of Works?"
Before Sleeping Beauty could ask, the servant dragged the heavy iron chains and left, only his footsteps were a little faster than usual.
Sleeping Beauty (softly): "Good rain knows the season, when spring is supposed to happen. Following the wind, it sneaks into the night, moistening things silently. The wild path and the clouds are both dark, only the fire on the riverboat shines alone. At dawn, looking at the wet red places, the flowers weigh heavily in the Jin Dynasty city. What does this poem have to do with it? The fire on the riverboat... alone!"
Sleeping Beauty suddenly remembered that she had heard father mention before that the old lord of the city was quite fond of the Ministry of Works, especially the poem "Spring Night Rain." His several children were all named after this poem—his eldest son was Jiang Zhijie, his second son was Jiang Suifeng, and his youngest son was Jiang Duming.
Jiang Zhijie died in infancy, and as the years passed, people gradually stopped mentioning him, as if he had never existed. Jiang Sui Feng, on the other hand, excelled in everything and was known for his kindness and integrity. The old city lord had appointed him as the young city lord, but unfortunately, he died unexpectedly. As for Jiang Duming, he was thought to be a good person, but the truth turned out to be... However, why would the servant suddenly mention this poem? What connection does he have with the Jiang family?
Sleeping Beauty (astonished): "Could he be Jiang Sui Feng? But... didn't he die?"
Sleeping Beauty A guess arose in my heart. If the servant is really Jiang Suifeng, then his "accidental death" must also be the handiwork of Jiang Duming. Throughout history, conflicts among brothers in powerful families have been common. It seems that the Jiang family is also quite turbulent.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Boom!
Suddenly, the entire Black Cloud Manor, along with The romantic history of a wretched sea., seemed to tremble, and the sleepy guards were all scared out of their wits. After a deathly silence, cries and calls for help could be heard from outside, mixed with the sound of buildings collapsing. Sleeping Beauty wanted to go out and see, but the door was locked, and it would only be opened when receiving guests or when the servants brought water.
【Crowd running in chaos】
Guard 1 (shouting from a distance): "Flood! Flood!"
Guard 2 (shouting from closer): "You guys come with me to the front yard to check, the rest of you watch the yard carefully."
Group of guards: "Yes!"
Through the translucent paper on the window, Sleeping Beauty saw that most of the guards in the courtyard had hurried out, leaving only four guarding the door. She understood that the "big event" the servant mentioned was probably the explosion just now. But how could she get out? As she pondered, a sudden change occurred in the courtyard. One of the guards knocked out his companion with several blows, then took a key from the unconscious guard and opened the door for Sleeping Beauty.
Guard 3: "Hurry, follow me!"
Sleeping Beauty: "Who are you? Did he send you?"
Guard 3: "I'm just here for the money, doing someone else's dirty work. Don't worry about that. Just come with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a faint rustling at the courtyard gate. Someone was coming! The guard quickly hid behind the door and motioned for Sleeping Beauty to stay back. The newcomer was dressed as a servant of Black Cloud Manor, with a very unfamiliar face. It seemed that he had been recruited recently to run errands. However, Black Cloud Manor was currently in chaos, and the main entrance was blocked. The only way in was through a secret passage. How did this servant find his way in? Could he be a spy from outside?
This servant is the same person sent by Liu Daiyu to investigate the situation at Black Cloud Manor. After lying low for two months, he finally found the secret passage, but never found the right time to come and investigate. Today's explosion was the perfect opportunity. Taking advantage of the chaos, he quietly made his way through the secret passage. He never expected the passage to lead to this place. Not long after, he saw a courtyard with three guards lying unconscious at the entrance. Something was definitely suspicious!
As he entered the courtyard, he noticed that the main door was half open and the lock was abandoned on the ground. He thought there must be clues inside the house. Carefully approaching, he never expected to be struck on the head as soon as he stepped inside. Before losing consciousness, he vaguely saw a face, a very familiar face.
Fake servant (confused): "Ma...ma'am..."
