Chapter 150 I Have Unique Detective Skills

Tut tut...

Ye Jingtang was really surprised to see a row of little yellow books, if he wasn't on official business, he would have just raised his hand to read them.

He brushed aside distracting thoughts, turned around and continued to search for clues, but suddenly felt that something was wrong. He turned around and looked at "The Secret History of Cleopatra" carefully, and found that the book was not placed in a straight line. It seemed that he had just read it recently and put it down casually.

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang carefully picked up the book and felt it with his fingers sliding slightly across the side of the book.

If you open the book often, and often look at a certain page, it will be easier to turn to that page if you open it directly because of the creases at the binding.

Ye Jingtang holds a book of Chivalrous Women's Tears and has read it intensively for many years. He is also an old bookworm, and he has a deep understanding of this.

Rubbing the side of the book carefully, I soon found that there was indeed a page in the book, which was different from the other pages. I opened it and looked at it—it was written that a certain queen mother dug a tunnel out of the palace to have an affair with the prince, and then took poison to feign death and was buried in the imperial tomb. The prince quietly dug a tunnel to enter the imperial tomb, and took the queen mother away...

Does this Prince Wu have fantasies about the Queen Mother?
Ye Jingtang subconsciously analyzes Shizi's sexuality, but it's wrong to think about it carefully.

He has studied "Tears of a Chivalrous Woman" for many years, and he knows what plots should be read ten lines at a glance, and what plots should be recalled word by word for a long time, far better than any head catcher in the world.

The marked two pages have no meat scenes, but instead write the details of digging the tunnel into the imperial mausoleum in great detail, such as 'how to break through the stone without disturbing the guards, tunnel anti-collapse facilities, ventilation facilities', etc. I don't think the author fabricated it out of thin air. He has a sense of showing off his knowledge and seems to be an expert in construction.

Turn the book to the front page, and you can see the author’s introduction—presumably an official 200 years ago, who was once an official to the Ministry of Industry, and was in charge of renovating Yun’an City. Later, he offended the Queen Mother Yan and was demoted. Book.

as predicted……

Seeing that his judgment was correct, Ye Jingtang looked through other descriptions of the environment and found that the descriptions of the city streets in the book were very realistic.

Yun'an City is a thousand-year-old capital. Although it has been expanded and rebuilt several times, its location has not changed much. The Wende Bridge in the book is the current Wende Bridge, and Yizuiranfang Street is even mentioned.

After receiving these news, Ye Jingtang naturally had a guess in his heart.

Prince Wu read this book, obviously not because he had fantasies about the Queen Mother, but as a reference book.

Staying on this page for a long time seems to have only one possibility - to learn how to dig a tunnel into the imperial tomb.

It is a bit far-fetched to say that Prince Wu is secretly a school lieutenant who touches gold. Moreover, the Yanhuang Mausoleum and the Great Wei Imperial Mausoleum are not in the same place at all, and the specifications of the tombs will not be the same. What is the use of him digging the Yanhuang Mausoleum?

After Ye Jingtang thought about it seriously, he wrote down the clues such as 'tunnel, imperial tomb', put the book back in its original place, and searched for other information in the study.

It's a pity that apart from a book about the Empress Dowager's Amorous History, everything else is normal.

After Ye Jingtang's search was fruitless, he checked the decorations in the study, living room, and bedroom, looking for possible hidden compartments.

Although Ye Jingtang does not have the talent of being a thief like the wingless owl, his insight is quite extraordinary.

After arriving in the bedroom, he observed the various furnishings in the house, speculated about the owner's daily habits, and finally squatted down to feel the smoothness of the wooden floor after being stepped on frequently, and finally looked at the cabinets on the side of the spacious bedroom.

The wardrobe looks like an ordinary wardrobe, but the dignified vassal king's son normally doesn't change his clothes by himself. The daily wear should be placed in the inner servant's room, and it stands to reason that he shouldn't go there often.

Ye Jingtang stood up, walked to the cabinet without a sound, observed the smoothness of the handle, and found that it was indeed often opened, so he carefully opened the door.

The spacious cabinet is empty and there is no partition. There is a high probability that it is a secret door. When you tap your finger lightly, there is a slight muffled sound of '咚~', and the back is solid.

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang looked at the wooden board under the cabinet...
-
Earlier, under the study.

A few lamps were placed in the four corners of the secret room, and in the middle was a table with piles of files on it.

Around the table, there were six chairs. Cao Aning was sitting in front of the table, holding a hard bamboo pen with an ink tank similar to a fountain pen, and was seriously drawing drawings on paper.

Qinggang mace Xu Bailin sat opposite, looking at the old blueprint in his hand, frowning.

Apart from them, there were three other people sitting in the secret room.

The middle-aged man with elegant temperament was flipping through the old files by Cao Aning's side.

The name of this person is Nangong Shaofeng, and people in the Jianghu are called "Young Master". He is an aide of Prince Wu's mansion. The butler of the Prince's Mansion.

Opposite Nangong Shaofeng was an old doctor, holding a silver needle, treating Xu Bailin's injured right leg.

Sitting at the head of the table was an old man in a white robe. He looked very old and thin, and he was sipping a teacup.

Although the five of them are all highly skilled in martial arts, when they sit in the room, there is still an obvious gap in their aura.

Among Cao Aning and the old doctor, their martial arts are relatively inferior, it seems that they just have good manners.

Xu Bailin is like a mace, although she has no sharp edge, she can feel the hardness emanating from her bones.

On the opposite side, Nangong Shaofeng, his gestures and gestures were like clouds and water, and even his breathing had a unique rhythm.

The white-robed old man on the main seat is another scene. He looks ordinary. Wherever he sits, he seems to be a decoration in the room. If he doesn't pay attention, he can't even notice that there is someone else on the chair. .

Being able to present this kind of aura shows that the martial arts practice has reached the state of "harmony between man and nature", and every move is impeccable.

The five people present here are all staff members recruited by King Wu, and they are carrying out a major task of 'setting things right', but since the appearance of Ye Jing Tang, things have obviously hit a bottleneck.

After Xu Bailin studied the old drawings for a while, she said:

"The last time I asked about the news from Zhuji Street, I could only confirm the black rattan bricks used for the foundation, but I couldn't determine the position of the pillars. If they can't be put down once, there will be no chance in the future. I have to check again."

Cao Aning put down the hard bamboo pen and sighed:

"Yejingtang predicts things like a god, and ghosts appear and disappear. The last turmoil has not passed, so I really dare not act rashly."

Nangong Shaofeng asked: "The last time you borrowed a knife to kill people, you diverted Ye Jingtang's attention, and there seemed to be no movement."

Cao Aning thought for a while: "Junshantai will definitely take action. Judging from the recent situation in the world, I am afraid that Junshantai will also borrow a knife to kill people and use the Zhou family as a knife."

Xu Bailin shook her head and said: "The Zhou family is not stupid. Revenge is a taboo of the court. Only by killing Ye Silang can the family business be saved. This borrowing of a knife to kill people, borrowing and borrowing, is equivalent to giving Junshantai a message for nothing, and nothing is gained."

Cao Aning said: "If the Zhou family doesn't do business, Junshantai will definitely think of a way, it is impossible to sit still. But the water can't quench the near thirst, Ye Jingtang stays put, so I don't dare to go to the city to ask the officials of the Ministry of Industry... "

While several people were talking, the white-robed old man who was sitting at the head slightly lifted his hand holding the teacup, interrupted the conversation, and then raised his eyes to the ceiling.

The four of them were all silent, they looked up and listened carefully, but they didn't find any movement, but they didn't ask any questions, they just looked at the old man in white robe.

The white-robed old man put down the teacup, his eyes moved on the ceiling, it seemed that he was staring at a person, first he went to the bookshelf, stayed for a while and then started to move.

Seeing this, the four knew that someone had entered the study, and they couldn't hear footsteps upstairs, which meant that the person came with a lot of effort.

Cao Aning looked at Nangong Shaofeng beside him, and asked in a low voice:
"A snitch who sneaked into the palace to steal?"

Nangong Shaofeng deliberated a little: "The rich and powerful family often come to snitches, and the Wingless Owl came here last time. There are no important items in the study, so let him take them casually, and don't expose them."

The four of them waited for a while, and saw the old man's eyes move again, looking towards the stairs at the entrance of the secret room.

thump~
A light knock on the cabinet sounded from the tunnel into the secret room.

Nangong Shaofeng frowned, signaling to the others to stay calm, then got up, and walked down the tunnel stairs without a sound.

click~
Soon, the floor of the cabinet above the tunnel was lifted, and the light shone in from above, revealing the walls and windows of the bedroom, but no one was there.

?

Nangong Shaofeng remained motionless, ready to go.

After a while, the hem of the black robe appeared on the left side of the entrance.

wow~

call out--

Nangong Shaofeng flicked his right hand lightly, and a white chess piece, like a sharp arrow off a string, instantly nailed through the upper cabinet wall.

Unabated, it pierced through the ceiling of the bedroom again, and a beam of light cast from the roof appeared.

At this time, there was a sound in the bedroom above, and a footstep suddenly broke out, rushing towards the window.

Want to go?

Nangong Shaofeng's eyes were cold, and he rushed out from under the wardrobe as soon as his robe was shaken, his eyes looked towards the window like a falcon.

In the spacious bedroom, there was a man with a black scarf covering his face and a weapon wrapped in a black cloth hanging from his waist. He was striding towards the window with his back wide open. He was obviously a thief who sensed something was wrong and fled.

Nangong Shaofeng is the housekeeper of the palace, he can see the light aboveboard, so naturally he would not give this little thief who discovered the secret path a chance, and he came to the back in a flash, and stretched out his right hand, trying to grab the opponent's neck.

But as soon as the palm was stretched out, the man in black swayed like a ghost, dodging and stretching out his right hand at the same time.

! !
Nangong Shaofeng's expression changed suddenly, and he quickly stopped the opponent's palm.

Call ~
There was a gust of wind blowing in the bedroom, but there was no muffled sound of energy colliding.

Nangong Shaofeng leaned his palm on the wrist of the man in black, and walked with his body, trying to dissipate the vast internal energy in his palm, and threw the man in black out with four or two strokes of a thousand catties.

But the man in black in front of him is not mediocre, his lower body is as stable as a rock, and his palm sticks to his wrist like a gangrene, pressing forward, and when he wants to reach out, he backs up at the same time, so that he seems to have caught it. A ball of cotton, no effort at all.

Huhuhu~
The two palms met and their feet moved. In an instant, you pushed and retracted three times. After all, it was Nangong Shaofeng who leaned against the wall with his heels first.

bang——

It was at this moment that palm strength erupted between the two of them.

Nangong Shaofeng took the black-clothed man's palm forcefully, and the turbulent energy vibrated on his arm, causing ripples that spread to the upper arm. The sleeve robe was smashed by the energy, and his back immediately hit the wall.

boom -

Half of the wall exploded, and Nangong Shaofeng flew out of the bedroom, fell into the garden behind, and slid more than three feet in the rain before he was able to release his palm force and bounce.

And the moment the man in black made a strike, he rushed out of the bedroom, flew like a swallow in the sky, and tapped lightly on the cornice:

bang——

The black shadow drew a right angle in the air, like a sharp black arrow that was off a string, and shot towards the river bank outside the palace, but got out of the palace with two times of strength.

When the guards of the palace jumped onto the roof, they disappeared without a trace.

"Wang Wang Wang-"

Outside the house, there was a raging dog bark at this time.

Nangong Shaofeng's sleeve robe on his right arm was shattered. He stood in the rain and looked at the direction in which the man in black was escaping.

After the guards of the palace rushed over and chased them out again, there was no movement in the room where a big hole was broken.

The old man in white robe walked out from behind the wall with his hands behind his back, and looked in the direction of Jiang An with surprise in his eyes:

"Nianyun Fourteen Hands...It's a pity that this child is going the way of the foreign family. The force is too strong, not skillful. Otherwise, this palm can shatter your heart silently."

Nianyun Fourteen Hands, Bagua Youshen Palm, and even Li Hunyuan's Baoyuanjin all pay attention to the silent and forceful palm, not to mention smashing the wall or smashing people's clothes, all of which show that the internal strength is leaking out. Not used wisely.

Nangong Shaofeng is an expert in the inner sect, and he can see that the opponent's palm technique is not very sophisticated, but he still doesn't believe it:

"Such a slap with such inappropriate heat, it slaps me three feet away. If I pull out the waist and use the weapon, wouldn't my body and head be separated on the spot?"

The white-robed old man nodded: "You can see the truth in the details. This kid can push you against the wall a few times based on his reaction. With weapons, you are close to death."

Although Nangong Shaofeng said that he was half a point behind Xu Bailin in physical strength, but he felt that there were not many people in the world who could meet him in seconds, so he thought about it:
"Are the masters and uncles from Yuxu Mountain here?"

""Fourteen Hands of Sticking Clouds" was created by the real Xuanji, but there are many people taught by the real Xuanji, so it's hard to say for sure."

Nangong Shaofeng frowned and recalled a little: "Prince Jing will definitely do this trick. Ye Jingtang is a cronie trained by King Jing. Could it be that he found out here?"

Xu Bailin and Cao Aning came to the entrance of the cave after making sure that there was nothing unusual outside.

Xu Bailin shook her head: "Yejingtang is indeed very powerful, but his martial arts are not so high. If not, I would not have injured a leg."

Cao Aning already had a psychological shadow on Ye Jingtang, but he also shook his head:
"The Nightmare Hall is so powerful, I can't walk out of the morgue alive."

Nangong Shaofeng nodded slightly, and for the sake of safety, he still said:
"Even if it was him, he probably didn't see anything. Clean up the things, and find a place to hide first. I'll report to the officials that the palace has been stolen, and ask Hei Ya to come and check the basement of the study, lest Prince Jing become suspicious."

Seeing this, the few people stopped talking, turned around and went back underground...
-
rustling...

It was drizzling.

Niao Niao spread its wings and hovered in the sky, watching a black torpedo at the bottom of the river, flying down the river, and there were guards from the palace chasing and searching the river bank and even the river surface.

It wasn't until they rushed three miles downstream and out of the sight of the palace guards that they circled high in the sky to remind them.

wow~~
Beside a secluded woodland on the bank of the river, Ye Jingtang emerged from the water, took a deep breath, wiped the water off his face with his hands, jumped onto the bank of the river, and flew towards Yun'an City.

Luo Ning has been paying attention to the movement of the Wangfu, seeing the frying pan of the Wangfu, a black shadow rushed into the river, and hurried downstream.

When Ye Jingtang showed his head, Luo Ningfei landed in front of him, a little annoyed:

"You call this infiltration? Infiltration will come and go without a trace, why did you demolish the house again? The movement is so loud, I can hear it outside the palace."

Ye Jingtang's reaction was normal, and he walked quickly through the forest, explaining:

"I thought there was no one in the bedroom, but I didn't expect that there was a basement hidden underneath. I ran into it as soon as I opened it, and I had to retreat from the enemy."

Luo Ning trotted beside her, holding Ye Jingtang's wrist, she was relieved when she found that he was not injured, and asked:

"Can reveal identity?"

"The sticky cloud fourteen hands I used should not be suspected of my head."

"The Fourteen Hands of Nianyun is the master Xuanji's palm technique. They will definitely suspect that the court is investigating and destroy the evidence in advance. Can you find any clues?"

Yejingtang seemed to have gained a lot, nodded and said:

"I found a copy of "The Secret History of Cleopatra" in the study..."

"What?!"

"The Secret History of Cleopatra"

Luo Ning's footsteps stopped abruptly, and Ye Jingtang was stopped:

"I asked you to find evidence, what are you looking for?"

Ye Jingtang said seriously: "That book is very realistic, it's about a queen dowager from the previous dynasty who had an affair with the prince... hiss—"

Before she finished speaking, she was pinned to a tree by the enraged Luo Nvxia.

Luo Ning twisted Ye Jingtang's arm instead: "You still read it?! You took such a big risk to find evidence, but in the end you peeked at unworthy miscellaneous books in other people's houses, you little thief..."

Ye Jingtang raised his hand slightly: "I'm talking about business, I'm not joking. That book was written by an official of the Ministry of Industry in the former dynasty. It has a lot of research on digging tunnels, imperial tombs, etc. I guess Prince Wu will read this book. It's for reference."

"Can this be evidence?"

"I have rich experience, and I can be sure that Prince Wu has read the page of digging tunnels for a long time..."

"No matter how long people read it, it's still a printed book. Can you say that they intend to plot rebellion?"

Luo Ning didn't know what to say: "You said that you found a pornographic book in someone's study, accusing the son of the vassal prince of treason, even if the queen believed you, she dared to use it to arrest people? The king has no intention of rebelling, if you do this, believe it or not, the twelve princes will come to the Qing emperor's side and chop you up, a traitor who slanders loyalty?"

Ye Jingtang knew that Huang Shu could not be used as evidence to prove that Prince Wu's plot was wrong, so he could only say:

"Let's just use it as a clue. I'll buy "The Secret History of Cleopatra" and study it carefully..."

Luo Ning had nothing to say, and walked back with the medicine bag.

Ye Jingtang followed up and said: "Believe my sense of books, if Prince Wu is a fan, he would never stare at the excavation of the imperial tomb for a long time; if he is not a fan, then he should not stare for a long time. The purpose of reading is to learn. To use it, there must be something strange about this matter..."

Luo Ning turned her head, her eyes were complicated:

"Practice what you have learned? You admit it, you see those messy things, just to greet women? What? The tears of a chivalrous woman are not enough for you, and I want to write another "Secret History of Cleopatra" to make the empress dowager a disaster." gone?"

Ye Jingtang hurriedly raised his hand: "Shhh! Don't dare to talk nonsense about things that are neither serious nor serious."

"Humph~"

Luo Ning actually believed it and surprised Tang Tang, but no matter how much she believed in Huang Shu's wonderful method of handling the case, she couldn't verbally support it, so she kept silent and went to Yun'an City with Ye Jingtang...
