Chapter 54 "Zuo Chi, here is a torch.
I'll give you one."
Zuo Chi and Chu Jing carefully pushed open the unlocked door of the warehouse and discovered that there were actually torch racks placed in the aisle, with two torches placed every one and a half feet apart.
But the strange thing is that the torches are all set on the wall where Chu Jing is, and all the torches are burning as far as the eye can see, presumably the ones behind them too.
Chu Jing took down two burning torches from the shelf.
The torches were very small, smaller than the torches used by ordinary people.
Chu Jing took the torch and looked at it carefully, then gave one to Zuo Chi, and the two continued to ask Zuo Chi.
Lean forward.
After walking, the two discovered that the warehouse built by the Song Dynasty to store fine wine actually had a long corridor at the entrance.
The corridor, which seemed to be paved with small stone bricks, was not narrow and could accommodate three people walking side by side.
To be careful, Zuo Chi and Chu Jing each walked on the side of the corridor against the wall, keeping a distance of one person and walking very close. cautious.
As they went deeper, the temperature seemed to drop.
Both Zuo Chi and Chu Jing felt a bit cold, but it didn't make them feel damp.
The two looked at each other with doubtful and heavy eyes.
It seems that this corridor is laid over such a long distance.
In addition to being well-isolated from the outside temperature, the torches placed every one and a half feet in the corridor are not only used for lighting, but also to drive away the humidity in the corridor.
It's so cold that it's not as cold as imagined.
A bit interesting Even a veteran like Chu Jing has never seen such a corridor layout, and he can't help but be more curious about what is hidden in this warehouse.
Suddenly, their eyes widened, and they finally walked out of this long corridor, and they couldn't help but exhale quietly.
Although nothing happened while walking on that long corridor, it still made people feel uncomfortable to be in a long and narrow space for a long time.
The two of them took a general look around, and what impressed them most was what they had always cared about.
There were only three jars of sweet-scented osmanthus wine in the whole room.
"Uncle Jing, don't you think it's strange?"
Zuo Chi suddenly asked.
Chu Jing thought Zuo Chi meant that it was strange that there were only three jars of sweet-scented osmanthus brew in the warehouse, so he nodded and said: "Yes, I also think this warehouse is said to be used to store fine wine, but there are only three jars of sweet-scented osmanthus wine in front of us.
It's really strange."
Zuo Chi turned to look at Chu Jing and said: "Uncle Jing, that's not what I meant.
From the time we came in until now, haven't you felt that this warehouse doesn't look big at all?"
"What did you say?"
Chu Jing was startled when he heard the words.
He immediately understood what Zuo Chi said and immediately looked around.
The more he looked at it, the heavier Chu Jing's face became.
Chu Jing observed carefully for a while and then said to Zuo Chi: "If that's the case, could it be that the information my men got was wrong?"
While talking, Chu Jing felt that his subordinates had been working with him for a long time and would not make such a mistake.
Suddenly, Chu Jing thought of something and immediately looked at Zuo Chi with his eyes slightly opened: "Don't tell me" Zuo Chi nodded, his eyes darkened, and said:
"There is a secret room."
That's right, Chu Jing looked at Zuo Chi and recalled in his mind that he had told Zuo Chi that his men had sneaked into the Song Mansion to investigate secretly.
He did say that Song Yuqiu specially mobilized a large number of manpower from many places to build warehouses in order to facilitate the storage of fine wines.
So, how could the warehouse built in this way be as big as what they saw in front of them?
Therefore, Song Yuqiu must have built a secret room.
Zuo Chi felt something was wrong since he entered this place.
This warehouse was square and he could see it completely at a glance.
How could it be that Chu Jing had told him before that Song Yuqiu had built a large warehouse?
With this thought in mind, the two of them immediately walked aside and held up torches to carefully illuminate every inch of the wall, looking for unusual places.
"Dang Dang Dang Dang" "Dangdang" Wherever the two of them were, there was a gentle knocking sound from time to time.

In this warehouse with no one else and a long corridor, there was a faint echo.
Chu Jing searched carefully around half the wall of the room, but found nothing.
Chu Jing was not good at this strange armor-evading technique, so Chu Jing walked to Zuo Chi and held up his own torch to illuminate the area around Zuo Chi brighter, so that Zuo Chi could find the location of the mechanism.
Just now when he was behind the rockery, Chu Jing could feel that Zuo Chi could find the entrance to the warehouse in such a short time, so Zuo Chi must also have a certain understanding of this kind of mechanism.
Sure enough, with the help of Chu Jing, Zuo Chi significantly speeded up his exploration, and the way he observed the wall was different from Chu Jing's.
Suddenly, Zuo Chi discovered that the wall he was tapping at this time made a different sound.
This difference could even be heard by Chu Jing who was standing aside.
“This is it” Chu Jing took a step forward, gently touched the wall Zuo Chi had knocked on just now, and asked.
"It shouldn't be wrong.
There must be another room behind this wall."
As Zuo Chi said this, he turned around and looked around at every part of the room, not even a corner.
Zuo Chi's eyes lit up when he saw a candlestick on a shelf not far away.
"Uncle Jing, look at the candlestick on the shelf over there.
The place where the mechanism is activated must be there."
Chu Jing heard the words and looked along where Zuo Chi said, and saw that there was indeed an unlit candlestick, but he couldn't see the mystery inside, and didn't understand what was so special about this candlestick, so he turned back to look at Zuo Chi.
Crazy.
"Uncle Jing, come with me."
As Zuo Chi said, he led Chu Jing to stand in front of the candlestick on the shelf, and then explained to Chu Jing: "Uncle Jing, look, there are some sundries, porcelain and books on this shelf.
In addition, this candlestick is covered with dust.
It's obvious that no one has touched it for a long time."
"Then why?"
Chu Jing couldn't help but asked in confusion.
"Uncle Jing, look."
Zuo Chi raised his hand, gathered the torches in front of the candlestick, and said to Chu Jing: "Although this candlestick seems to be covered with dust, there is one place, which is the place near the edge of the base of the candlestick.
This place should also be covered with dust like the base of the candlestick, but here" "It's very smooth."
Chu Jing took a closer look and found that it was just as Zuo Chi said, and he immediately understood.
"Yes, it must be because someone often holds it and turns it that it becomes like this."
Zuo Chi nodded while reaching out to turn the bottom of the candlestick.
The wall they just discovered made a "buzzing" sound and slowly began to rotate.
Zuo Chi saw the wall turn and reveal a secret door.
His face was filled with joy, he looked at Chu Jing and said: "Uncle Jing, let's go in and take a look."
Chu Jing nodded.
"not good" As soon as Zuo Chi released his hand from the bottom of the candlestick, he felt something bad.
Chu Jing was startled and was about to ask, but saw that the secret door that had been open just now closed at a speed several times that of the secret door opening.
"What's going on":
