Chapter 421
It was almost twelve o'clock when Du Fei came out of the general hospital.
He was not in a hurry to go back to work, but instead found a small shop on the side of the street to have a bite of food.
After filling his stomach, he rode his bicycle straight to Lao Yang's house.
From the general hospital, the distance to Lao Yang's house is not close.
It was already one o'clock when Du Fei rushed over after eating.
Lao Yang and his wife had just finished eating, so Du Fei didn't expect Du Fei to come to the door at this time.
Du Fei also saw a young man in his early twenties at their house, who looked sixty to seven points similar to Lao Yang, but half a head taller.
Du Fei smiled and said, "Is this Zhicheng or Zhigong?"
Lao Yang introduced: "This is Boss Zhicheng!" Then he hurriedly turned his head and shouted: "Come and call Leader Du."
Yang Zhicheng was a little cautious, stepped forward and bowed to Du Fei, and said politely: "Mr. Du, hello."
Du Fei nodded, and said to Lao Yang: "There is something to do today, and it really has something to do with Zhicheng."
When Lao Yang and Rui Zhu heard this, their hearts moved.
Du Fei laughed and said: "The security department of the rolling mill is recruiting people, and I asked Zhicheng for a spot. Although it is a temporary worker, it is also a decent place to go."
When Lao Yang heard this, he was overjoyed.
In fact, his thoughts are exactly the same as Lei Laoliu's. In the final analysis, he wants to give his son a decent background.
Du Fei saw exactly what they were thinking.
Although they are just two temporary workers in the security department, they are more grateful than throwing 1000 yuan in person.
After finishing talking about this matter, Du Fei called Lao Yang out, and the two rode bicycles together to the newly bought yard near Shichahai.
Lao Yang went in without knowing it, and carried his bicycle into the courtyard with Du Fei.
Thinking about where this is, why did Du Fei bring him here?
Du Fei didn't explain to him, and locked the door behind his back.
The two bicycles were thrown by the door, and Lao Yang was taken inside.
Go to the east wing of the middle courtyard, open the door and enter.
It is full of all kinds of furniture.
Lao Yang was originally a carpenter, and he is an expert in furniture and wood.
With a glance of his eyes, he could see the general idea of these things in the room, and he couldn't help being surprised.
When it comes to mahogany furniture, people immediately think of red sandalwood and huanghuali.
But the same is red sandalwood and huanghuali, the wood is also good or bad.
Moreover, furniture made of the same wood and with different craftsmanship is also judged on the same level.
The furniture placed in this room is undoubtedly top-grade in Lao Yang's eyes.
Even looking at the carpentry, a large part of it came from the imperial manufacturing office of the former Qing Dynasty, and they were all serious royal imperial manufactures.
Lao Yang couldn't help looking at Du Fei who was beside him, and wanted to ask him where did he get so many high-quality furniture?
But he immediately reacted and quickly swallowed the words back.
Obviously, Du Fei didn't bring him here to make him ask where these things came from.
Lao Yang secretly told himself to be calm, not to say what should not be said, not to ask what should not be asked.
Du Fei didn't think much about it, he pointed to these furniture and asked Lao Yang to see if there were any fake ones.
Lao Yang didn't dare to neglect, and hurried into the room to check carefully.
Although he felt that these furniture were high-quality goods at a glance, but in front of Du Fei, he did not dare to procrastinate.
At least make a show, otherwise it would be bad for Du Fei to feel that he is contemptuous.
Lao Yang went into the house and walked around.
After a while, I came out from the inside, and I swore to guarantee that the furniture inside were all high-quality goods, and there was not a piece of furniture that could not be sold.
Du Fei nodded, not too surprised.
The real purpose of him bringing Lao Yang here was not to look at the furniture, but to check whether there were hidden rooms or other places in the yard.
He had agreed to go out before, and he would lend it to Zhou Peng for a period of time next month.
Before that, Lao Yang must have a look.
In case Zhou Peng did something wrong.
When Du Fei bought this yard before, Zhou Peng also showed interest, but Du Fei took the lead.
This time I borrowed the yard from him again, although Du Fei didn't ask him what he was doing, but he was suspicious in his heart.
It's not that Zhou Peng knew the secrets in this yard long ago, and acted secretly after borrowing it.
Wait for Du Fei to understand.
Lao Yang felt that Du Fei was a little whimsical.
Although the rich families in the past liked to set up a secret room to hide some gold, silver and soft things.
But such an important place, how could it be easily forgotten.
Besides, the owner in front of this yard has not lived here for a year or two.
Counting from the ancestors of the Jin family, they lived there for more than a hundred years, and there were several renovations in between.
Even if there is a secret room, can it still be kept until now, for Du Fei to find out?
But Lao Yang just thought about these words in his heart.
On the surface, he looked serious, and began to carefully check every corner of the yard.
Du Fei was a little curious, and followed closely behind.
Although it is only a crossing, there are three entrances and three exits, and there are quite a lot of rooms and areas.
But Lao Yang also has knacks, he is very familiar with the regulations of ancient buildings, he knows where to check carefully, and where to take a quick look at the flowers.
Even if there is a secret room or something in the courtyard, first of all, it must not be a place where servants and guests live.
The probability of putting it in the upper house is not high.
Because once a thief comes in, no matter whether it is stealing or robbing, the upper house where the owner lives must be the focus of attention.
Just like the courtyard house where Du Fei lives now.
The secret underground secret room was placed under the west wing of the backyard.
However, the result made Du Fei somewhat disappointed.
Lao Yang walked through the front, middle and back yards from the beginning to the end.
Except for a small sandwich wall found in the side room of the upper room in the middle courtyard, no other hidden compartments were found.
The entrance of the sandwich wall is hidden in the cabinet, and it should be opened and closed frequently depending on the degree of wear and tear of the secret door.
But now, it's already empty inside.
This result made Du Fei somewhat disappointed.
Before this, he actually didn't expect to find a large cellar full of gold ingots from the yard.
But at least getting three melons and two dates is a consolation.
Lao Yang didn't dare to say anything.
This time Du Fei called him over, obviously expecting him, but in the end he was empty-handed and didn't even find a fart.
This made Lao Yang a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, Du Fei quickly adjusted his mood and didn't worry about it anymore.
Instead, he took out the badge of 'Showa 17' from yesterday and handed it to Lao Yang, and said, "Old Yang, look at this, do you recognize it?"
Lao Yang took it over, first turned it over and saw the words 'Showa 17th', immediately frowned, and looked carefully.
The reason why Du Fei showed it to Lao Yang was because the last time he saw that it was Japanese woodwork only through the furniture manufacturing techniques, he might be able to know something.
But Lao Yang looked at it for a long time, but shook his head in embarrassment: "Boss Du, this... I really don't know what it is. To tell you the truth, I only know about carpentry in Dongyang people, other... "
Du Fei didn't expect too much. Seeing Lao Yang like this, he smiled and said "it's okay", took back his badge, and asked again: "By the way, last time you went to that Japanese house, did you find anything besides that bed?" ?”
"Japanese~" Lao Yang was taken aback. He was just skeptical before, but hearing Du Fei's tone, it turned out to be a real hammer!
He pondered: "This... If there is anything special about it, the stove in their kitchen is one piece higher than the normal ones."
Du Fei frowned, thinking that this was nothing special.
But he could also see that it would be difficult for him to ask further questions.
In fact, Lao Yang had made a great contribution to discovering the lurking Japanese woman this time.
Moreover, after the Wang family couple were arrested, their house would definitely be searched carefully. Even if there was something hidden, it would not be Du Fei's turn.
Thinking of this, Du Fei didn't intend to continue to spend time on Lao Yang.
Just as he was about to leave, when he just came out of the upper room in the backyard, Lao Yang suddenly pointed to the moon door leading to the back garden and said, "Leader Du, what is that place over there?"
Du Fei just remembered that he forgot to tell Lao Yang that there is a back garden.
At this time, Lao Yang was a little unwilling.
Today Du Fei came to look for him in high spirits, but when he came here, he couldn't do anything except look at the furniture.
This made Lao Yang's face a little uncomfortable.
So after hearing from Du Fei that there was a garden in the back, he immediately proposed to take a look.
Du Fei looked at his watch, it was just past three o'clock in the afternoon.
There is nothing urgent, so I just let Lao Yang go and have a look.
It's a pity that there are people living in the main courtyard and the East Kua courtyard. Otherwise, let Lao Yang take a look at it, and maybe you can gain something else.
While thinking about it, Du Fei followed Lao Yang to the back garden.
The back garden has a large area, almost 60 meters wide and more than 40 meters long.
Except for the side near the middle courtyard and the east cross courtyard, some places were occupied by residents to dig vegetable cellars, and most of the others were deserted.
After liberation, although the Jin family guarded the yard, they had to keep a low profile.
Naturally, it is impossible to spend money to maintain such a large back garden.
All kinds of flowers and trees inside are growing wildly, and the pond that was originally one acre in size has long since dried up.
The rockery simply collapsed, and the tiles on the roof of the pavilion were taken away by someone and sold.
Even after Du Fei bought the yard, he didn't take a serious walk around the backyard.
Instead, he came in with Lao Yang this time and walked along the original path in the garden.
Although it is said to be deserted, in fact, the garden is not unoccupied.
Here, it has long been a paradise for the bear children living in the main courtyard and the east courtyard, and there are traces of children playing everywhere.
So Du Fei and Lao Yang came in and walked down without much trouble.
Originally, Du Fei didn't expect much, but Lao Yang's stern expression made him a little surprised: "Is there a problem?"
Lao Yang gave a "hmm" and pointed to the pavilion in the northwest corner of the garden: "The pavilion is not in the right place."
Du Fei frowned: "No? How do you say it?"
Lao Yang said: "So-called, Anting has its style, but it has no grounds! There are rules for placing pavilions in the courtyard."
Du Fei didn't ask carefully about the rules, anyway, he just knew there was something wrong with the pavilion.
Lao Yang continued: "Leader Du, such a big garden must have been lived in by dignitaries in the early years. The designer of this garden must be an expert, and it is impossible not to know the rules. Now the pavilion is placed there, There are only two possibilities, either it was intentional, or later generations did not understand it and rebuilt it at will."
Du Fei asked back: "Then which one do you think is more likely?"
Old Yang said confidently: "Looking at the scene, the latter should be more likely. Because except for this pavilion, the design of the entire yard is well-regulated, nothing out of the ordinary, and he is a master of gardening."
When Du Fei heard this, he also became interested: "Let's go~ let's go and have a look."
Lao Yang said: "Leader Du, do we have a crowbar or something? A small hammer is also fine."
Du Fei told him to wait, and immediately ran to the yard, and took out a crowbar from the portable space with Lao Yang on his back.
These tools were all prepared by him in order to open the entrance to the basement, and he threw them into the portable space when he was done.
Afterwards, the two came to the gazebo with only one frame left.
It can be seen that the pavilion was built with great care.
The ground is all strips of white marble, polished smooth and very particular.
The pillars of the pavilion are whole logs, which were originally painted with red paint, but now the paint has all fallen off, and it has been exposed to wind and rain for many years, making it look very mottled and dilapidated.
There are only some traces of the painted beams on the top, and even several beams are rotten.
Lao Yang took the crowbar and "ding ding dong dong" this and that.
Du Fei listened to the sound, but he didn't hear anything for a long time.
Instead, Lao Yang suddenly stopped, and repeatedly tapped the base of the pavilion on the west side a few times, then looked like Du Fei and said: "The bottom is empty."
Du Fei didn't expect that Lao Yang still had this ability, so he thought: "What can you hear here? The sound of knocking is no different from other places!"
But since Lao Yang said so, he must have a plan in mind.
Du Fei asked, "How big can it be?"
Lao Yang frowned and thought for a while: "It shouldn't be small, maybe it's a tunnel, and the echo doesn't seem like a secret room."
Du Fei was a little disappointed.
But after thinking about it, it is really an authentic way, which seems unreasonable.
This place is already the northwest corner of the garden, and you only need to walk a few meters to get out over the wall.
What's the point of setting the tunnel here?Why don't you take off your pants and fart!
In fact, Lao Yang also had the same doubts.
But he has a different idea from Du Fei.
Du Fei's purpose is to find a secret room for treasure hunting.
Lao Yang wanted to show off his abilities in front of Du Fei.
If you can find this pavilion, there may be a tunnel underneath, and Lao Yang's goal has been achieved.
As for whether it is a tunnel or a secret room, he actually doesn't care too much.
Du Fei said: "Can you find the entrance?"
Lao Yang looked at it in embarrassment: "This area should have been filled with soil, and more than half of the foundation of the pavilion has been buried. If you want to find the entrance, you have to dig it out. This project... I'm afraid it's not small." I looked in the direction of the courtyard and the east cross courtyard.
The meaning was so obvious that it was hard not to alarm the people who lived there.
Du Fei also understood that it is not suitable for large-scale construction projects right now, and asked again: "If it is a tunnel, can we find the exit at the other end?"
Lao Yang wondered: "According to the echo just now, the bottom is at least three or four meters deep..."
As soon as Du Fei heard it, he knew that there must be no play.
At this time, he couldn't help but think of the Great Gray Immortal.
Like Xiao Wu and Xiao Hei, it would be easy to get a mouse and dig a hole to see it!
