"Let's go, let's go to the scene of the fire, I guess those officials should have arrived." Song Wuya didn't open here rashly, but chose to ask the officials to help.
Regardless of whether there is any danger behind this door, it is safer to find an official.Even if there is no danger at that time, if there are people there, the two of them will definitely not be able to stop them.So it is the best choice to go in with the official messenger.
Song Wuya thought for a while, and called Bai Zhuo to carry the cabinet back.Not only that, he and Bai Zhuo also found other heavy objects and blocked them in front of the cabinet, completely sealing it off.
"Anyway, the opposite side is also a yard, let's just go in through another door." Song Wuya had already made a plan in his heart.
After leaving the courtyard, Song Wuya observed the situation on the opposite side, and immediately went to the fire scene.
Sure enough, those official missions had already arrived at this time, after all, it was getting late.The servants of the Niu family had already started to clean up the fire, obviously they did not dare to neglect Song Wuya's explanation yesterday.
"My lord, did you go to that yard?"
Seeing Song Wuya and the others coming from the east, several officials walked over, and one of them asked a question.
Song Wuya nodded, then pointed to the east and said, "Go to the back of that courtyard!"
"Yes!" The officials responded immediately, but then they showed doubts: "My lord, how do you get to the back of that courtyard?"
"We found a secret path leading to the courtyard over there." Bai Zhuo explained without waiting for Song Wuya to speak.
Song Wuya also nodded, without saying anything more, he directly led the officials around the scene of the fire, and went to the courtyard from the other side.
"This is it!" The officials knew exactly which courtyard corresponded to that courtyard, pointed to the gate in front of them, and said to Song Wuya.
"Go knock on the door and see if there is anyone inside." Seeing that they were waiting for his instructions, Song Wuya told them.
There was a knock on the courtyard door, and all the officials waited in front of the door.
Not long after, when the officials were about to break in, there was finally movement in the courtyard.
"Who! It's so early in the morning, why don't people sleep?" The people in the courtyard complained angrily.
But when he opened the courtyard door and saw so many officials at the door, he suddenly became sober.
"Master Guan Cha, what are you..." Inside the door was a middle-aged man who hadn't put on his clothes yet and was yawning when he opened the door. When he saw the official chap, he was suddenly surprised.
The officer looked at this person, and said coldly: "Arrest this person, and the others will follow me in!"
Without giving him an explanation at all, several officials directly sent and broke into the courtyard.Officials entered it, and the gate of the courtyard was directly closed.
"Is there anyone else in the yard?" The officer in charge looked at the empty yard and immediately turned to question the man.
The twisted guy still looked depressed, looking at the official and asking: "And my wife, she's asleep in the room! Hey! Hey! Don't go in!"
Seeing that the officer was about to enter the house, the middle-aged man immediately became anxious. While shouting, he was still struggling to break away from the officer's hand.
This situation made both Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo puzzled, why did they feel that although this person looked surprised, his behavior in the face of officials was still very normal.
Seeing this situation, Song Wuya immediately shouted: "Don't go into the house yet, shout inside, let her get dressed and come out."
Anyway, Song Wuya is not an unreasonable person.If this courtyard is indeed their home, and they have nothing to do with Wuliangjiao, then it would be unreasonable.What's more, women's fame is more important than anything else in ancient times. If they are still on the bed and seen by other men, what face is there to live.
A group of them guarded outside, but there was no movement in the house.
Song Wuya stood in front of the house, seeing that there was no movement for a long time, he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious, and immediately shouted into the house: "The people inside say something, if they don't speak, we will go in!"
As soon as he said that, a woman actually replied.

?Chapter 500
"My lord, I'll be right out."
Hearing these words, Song Wuya restrained himself again.
Soon, a middle-aged woman came out in a panic.
As soon as she came out, those officials immediately controlled her, and then a group of people entered the house.
"The previous study room corresponds to this place. Immediately look for it on the back wall to see if there is a secret passage."
After entering the house, Song Wuya immediately ordered the officers to search.
This room is not big, and a few pieces of furniture don't take up much space, but in this room, there is no such door!
"How is this possible!" Bai Zhuo exclaimed.
They had obviously discovered that door, which led to this place, but why didn't they find it in this courtyard.
This is indeed an unreasonable thing, not to mention Bai Zhuo, even Song Wuya himself was a little puzzled.He looked at the room, frowned, and thought.
Seeing that he was thinking about something, Bai Zhuo naturally didn't stay idle, and told the officials: "Go and see the other rooms!"
Officials, the search will begin soon.
Song Wuya thought for a while, but there was no clue.He came to the courtyard, looked at the couple, and asked.
"Are you all sleeping in this room for the past few days and nights?"
"Yes my lord, we've been sleeping here all this time."
Seeing that Song Wuya and the others didn't offend him too much, the man didn't seem very dissatisfied. When he heard Song Wuya's question, he immediately answered.
"Did you hear any strange noises in the past few nights?"
Song Wuya's continued questioning surprised the father and the two of them.
"My lord, you know all of this?" The man's face suddenly revealed a look of horror, and he actually said such words.
Upon hearing his words, Song Wuya felt that he must have heard something at night, and immediately asked: "What did you hear?"
"This..." Suddenly asked about his business, the man hesitated, his behavior was extremely suspicious.
The officer next to him couldn't stand it anymore. Seeing the man's expression, he immediately yelled: "Your Excellency is asking you something! But you are hemming and hawing here. Did you do something unscrupulous? Why don't you hurry up and ask for it!"
"My lord is wronged! The little one has never done anything unconscionable. The reason why I hesitated was because I was afraid that after I said it, you wouldn't believe what the little one said." The man explained, saying that he didn't do anything. What a shameful thing, I dare not say it.But there are other difficulties.
"Tell me, believe it or not, we'll decide. If you haven't done anything wrong, we won't embarrass you." Song Wuya said to the man, at the same time, he signaled the yamen servants not to do this for now. hold him.
After being released, the man immediately said: "My lord, the room next to me is haunted. There has been a lot of movement over there these days, and we couldn't sleep well at night. Fortunately, there was no movement yesterday, so we fell asleep. Just get up now."
"Haunted? What kind of trouble? What did you all hear?" The man's words matched Song Wuya's guess. He knew that the matter would come to an end soon, so he asked immediately.
"My lord, this little one can't explain clearly. The movement seems to be someone talking, and it seems that someone is walking, but it is not very real, and it is very dull." After thinking about it, the man found a few words to describe it. .
But when he said that, people couldn't imagine what he was talking about.
