Chapter 1264 Believe it or not, I'll castrate you.
Clearly, Wan Quan had planned ahead for many years, had a clear understanding of the commodity market situation, and had left himself a safe way out.
This further convinced Lin Feng that Wan Quan, that old fellow, would definitely not easily admit defeat and submit to the law in front of him.
The main passage stretched too far ahead, so Lin Feng paused for a moment before a fork in the road. Inside, in a room, there were rows of bows, swords, spears, halberds, armor, and steel shields.
Its scale is comparable to the armory of a prefecture-level city.
This is the third fork in the passage on the right. It's an upward-sloping path. After about thirty feet, a spacious room appeared in Lin Feng's mind. There were two heavy wooden doors at the entrance of the passage, sealed with huge iron locks.
The air inside is also very dry and refreshing.
The spacious room was filled with countless cloth bags containing various kinds of grains.
Lin Feng stopped in his tracks, knowing that this was a grain storage warehouse and there was nothing to investigate.
He turned around and returned to the main passage, thinking to himself that once he got back, he would have someone come in and investigate all the underground conditions, while he quickly rushed to the other end of the main passage.
As Lin Feng approached the end of the passage, he heard someone speaking.
Take quiet steps and slowly approach the past.
Just like at one end of the previous fork in the road, there was a spacious room with candles lit inside, and all the necessary living necessities such as tables, chairs, and beds.
Moreover, these pieces of furniture are all very exquisite and high-end.
Further inside the room, a heated kang (a traditional heated platform bed) was built with bluestone, covered with a brocade quilt, and a kang table was placed on it.
A man and a woman sat facing each other on a kang table. A chessboard with black and white chess pieces made of white jade was placed on it, and the pieces were very shiny.
There were also two women dressed as maids standing on either side, ready to serve you at any time.
Lin Feng recognized both the man and woman. The man was Wan Quan's third son, whose name he had forgotten. The woman was Wan Quan's daughter, Wan Qiao, the former imperial concubine of the Great Emperor.
The man complained as he played chess.
"Oh, sister, these days are really tough. Why haven't they come to relieve us yet?"
Wan Qiao rolled her eyes at him: "You've only been here a few days, and you can't stand it anymore. Just bear with it. It's too dangerous outside. With your temperament, going out will only cause trouble for your father."
The man seemed to be itching all over, writhing his body.
"I don't know when Lin Feng will be killed. I don't want to live like this for another day."
Wan Qiao looked up and glared at him: "Are you feeling hot again?"
As he spoke, his large, clear eyes glanced at the maids standing on either side of him.
"I know your temperament. I've already made arrangements for you. Don't cause any more trouble."
The man turned his head and glanced at the two maids, then grinned.
"This guy thinks he's nothing, what does he take me for?"
Wan Qiao angrily shouted, "Wan Fei, you've had enough of the good food, drink, and fun. If you dare to go out, don't say I didn't warn you. Everyone knows Lin Feng's methods. If you're going to your death, don't drag the Wan family down with you."
Wan Fei lowered his head, staring blankly at the chess pieces on the table.
"Hmph, Lin Feng, it's Lin Feng again. Even our father can't handle him?"
Wan Qiao reached out her delicate, fair hand and gently stroked Wan Fei's hair.
"Just bear with it. In two more days, someone will come to take over. And Father is working on a plan to eliminate Lin Feng sooner or later, and everything will be back to normal."
Wan Fei reached out and grabbed Wan Qiao's hand, holding it in his own, and looked up at her.
"Hehe, sis, it's kind of you to cool me down..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wan Qiao raised her eyebrows and shouted in disbelief.
"How dare you! Believe me or not, I'll castrate you!"
Wan Fei shuddered, released his hands, shrank his neck, and stubbornly continued to argue.
"Hmph, that old emperor got it for nothing."
Wan Qiao was furious: "Get out of here!"
"sister..."
"roll!"
Wan Fei had no choice but to slip off the heated brick bed and slink away.
Wan Qiao waved to a maid.
"Go and serve him, and make him quiet down."
The maid agreed and turned to follow Wan Fei outside.
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng shook his head inwardly. He had wanted to rush in and see Wan Qiao's terrified expression.
However, after coming out of the lake and running into the dark passage, I was completely naked. How could I possibly stand out like that?
Hearing Wan Fei's footsteps, Lin Feng quickly retreated, leaving the side path and turning into the main passage.
At his speed, he quickly reached the end of the passage, which was about twenty miles long.
The exit is a sloping staircase leading up to a heavy iron gate.
Lin Feng lifted the iron door latch, opened an iron door, and a cool breeze blew in. Outside was a cave, with various vines growing at the entrance.
The iron gate at the entrance can only be opened from the inside. It is estimated that Wan Quan left his children here to wait for someone to bring supplies.
Lin Feng peeked out and found himself in a cave halfway up a mountain.
This should be in Yufu Mountain.
Surrounded by cliffs on all sides, it was an excellent hiding place, so much so that even hunters and woodcutters would never discover it.
Wan Quan truly put his heart and soul into it, and put in a lot of effort.
However, Lin Feng believed that this massive secret passage would not have only one exit.
After finding the way, Lin Feng turned around and walked back.
This time, he quickly emerged from the pavilion in the lake and saw that Ye Liangcai and Qiao Jushan had already arrived at the pavilion, holding his clothes and weapons in their hands.
As Lin Feng put on his clothes, he described the situation inside the secret passage.
Upon hearing that there was a large amount of silver, as well as food and weapons in the secret passage, the two exchanged surprised glances.
"That old fellow Wan Quan is treacherous; he's prepared a backup plan all along."
Qiao Jushan said in a muffled voice, "I knew he wouldn't commit suicide so easily."
Ye Liangcai frowned and said, "I also have my doubts, but that old guy who slit his own throat back then looked too much like Wan Quan."
Lin Feng nodded: "With Wan Quan's abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for him to find someone who looks like him. With a little disguise, he could have fooled everyone under the circumstances."
Ye Liangcai exclaimed, "What a clever trick! They really fooled us."
Qiao Jushan glanced at the stone table in the pavilion.
"Boss, what should we do?"
"We'll wait here for two days. We must find Wan Quan's hiding place."
"Yes, that old guy is too cunning. We must nip him in the bud."
Ye Liangcai said through gritted teeth.
He then looked around.
"Boss, let's go get some food, we'll stay here and keep watch."
Lin Feng waved his hand: "No need to go to that trouble. There's plenty of food and drink downstairs, and there are people to cook for us. All the ingredients are top-quality."
He laughed as he spoke.
Ye Liangcai and Qiao Jushan thought about it and smiled knowingly.
Grand Tutor Wan Quan, having been resurrected in another's body, escaped the manor through a secret passage.
Accompanied by two highly skilled guards, they ran all the way to Jinhao Mansion.
He heard that Zhao Chuanzhi, the prefect of Jingnan Prefecture, had been transferred by Lin Feng to Jinhao Prefecture to serve as the prefect.
Zhao Chuanzhi was a relative of the emperor and had previously been in contact with Wan Quan.
He turned a blind eye to Wan Quan building a manor at the foot of Yufu Mountain, pretending not to know.
Wan Quan was now desperate and had no choice but to go to Jinhao Prefecture, change his name and surname, register in the city, and be allocated housing and land, where he could settle down temporarily.
He has money and grain, so naturally he doesn't need to work in the fields.
They are waiting for this matter to calm down before looking for a more stable place to settle down.
To everyone's surprise, Lin Feng also settled his entire family in Jinhao Mansion, just as he had wished.
