Chapter 144 Discovery
"If you can't walk on the ground, you can only walk underground." Luo Xiyao said with a frown, it seems that this person is related to the Yuli Palace case.

He has Jiang Hong's amulet on him, but is he really Jiang Hong?

Luo Xiyao buckled the corner of the table, "What did you find?"

Hong Ming also thought of what she said.

After the person disappeared, Hong Ming immediately arranged for people to search around, but found nothing in the end. He realized that he had been fooled, and immediately returned to search the house.

Finally, clues were found behind the door.

The man not only dug the tunnel, but also made a trap at the entrance.

The location behind the door was easy to be overlooked by people, if Hongming hadn't almost turned the house upside down, he wouldn't have found a problem there.

"Where does the tunnel lead to?" Luo Xiyao asked.

Hong Ming felt ashamed, "It's more like a pit than a tunnel. He should have just escaped the search inside. After we left, he would come out again and take advantage of the chaos."

"Can you see what method he used to dig it out?"

"Subordinates are incompetent."

Luo Xiyao didn't blame Hong Ming, if that person was really Jiang Hong, he would naturally have a way to dig a tunnel, if it wasn't Jiang Hong, then he must have something to do with Jiang Hong, then he probably had the same means as Jiang Hong.

Just like she can use the corrosiveness of Gu insects to corrode copper and iron, how difficult is it for Jiang Hong to summon snakes and insects to dig a Tibetan place day and night?
"It doesn't have to be like this." Luo Xiyao asked him to get up, "Don't let anyone enter that room, and don't let people destroy it. I'll go and see it myself tomorrow."

"Yes."

The next day, He Lan came to Linzhang to pick up Luo Xiyao.

"Are the people in your yard safe?" He Lan Linzhang asked.

The only ones in her yard who are restless are the sisters of the Bai family, "Bai Xue is recuperating, when Bai Ru is not decocting medicine or cooking, she will sit quietly beside Bai Xue and embroider. Why? You will never bump into Bai Ru's good deeds." right?"

He Lan Linzhang nodded, "Yes."

Luo Xiyao laughed in surprise, "Are you listening to the corner?"

He Lan was helpless in Linzhang, "Mr. Sui left Beijing, I went to see him off, and I happened to see a carriage parked outside the city. That girl is so bold, she even lifted the curtain of the carriage and took a look outside when she heard the sound of horseshoes."

"Can you see the man inside?"

"I asked Bai Shui to watch. After the coachman sent the man back to the Shangshu Mansion, he went to the Temple of the City God, and then left the city to abandon the car. The man chose the Temple of the City God in order to hide in the crowd as soon as possible. It is a pity that Bai Shui met Su Jiayan, even though he did hide , I still recognized him at a glance." He Lan Linzhang smiled, "It seems that he never forgets Jiu Niang."

"It's so cheap." Luo Xiyao ignored his teasing, "This is Mr. Su who is the favorite of the girls in Pingcheng, and the four great courtesans of Pingcheng even personally posted a post for him. How beautiful he refused at that time Yue, let a group of girls regard him as a god. The result? To achieve his goal, why didn’t he personally drag a girl to make troubles on the carriage, and the girl didn’t even need to give him money, isn’t that low enough?”

What can Helan Linzhang say?He could only nod in agreement: "That's cheap."

"Okay, let's not talk about him! Anyway, I'm like an iron bucket here. If he wants to find out the news, he can only start from Bai Ru. That girl is sincere if she doesn't even want the lives of herself and her sister for him. Sleep with him more. This time, I am willing to die if I want to."

Luo Xiyao laughed, "Before hunting, find a way to make His Majesty give an order."

He Lan Linzhang didn't ask the reason, just said: "Okay."

After leaving the Shangshu Mansion, He Lan Linzhang took Luo Xiyao to Hongming's prison.

Because he had seen Luo Xiyao use Gu, he also asked someone to learn about Gu insects.

"Look here, does it look like a trace of something crawling?" He Lan Linzhang knelt down and pointed somewhere, "I really can't think of anything other than living things that can leave such a trace."

Luo Xiyao glanced at it and said, "It's the traces of mole crickets crawling over."

"It turned out to be mole crickets. I thought it was Gu. But I can't figure it out. Where did the soil he dug up go? Can't the ants move it away?"

Helan Linzhang just said it casually, but Luo Xiyao actually nodded.

"Why not?" Luo Xiyao lifted a thin layer of the trap, "Since he can ask snakes, rats, rats and ants to help him dig holes, why can't these little guys take away the dug soil? Ants are inconspicuous, but Thousands of ants could eat an elephant down to its bones in the blink of an eye."

"Can you do it too?"

Luo Xiyao shook her head regretfully, "I can't. In the future...maybe I can." At this point, she took out a fire pocket, lit a candle and jumped down, "I just don't know how long it will be."

Before Helan Linzhang could move, her voice came from below, "The hole is too small, so don't come down and squeeze. I'll go up after I have a look."

He Lan Linzhang also took a candle to help illuminate, "Do you want someone to bring a torch?"

"It's just this big, no need."

"Are you worried that this place is not just this big?"

Luo Xiyao stretched out her hand when the time was up for a stick of incense, "Pull me up."

He Lan Linzhang grabbed her wrist and pulled her out like a carrot, "Is this the end?"

"Otherwise?" Luo Xiyao patted the dirt on her body, "He didn't just hide here, he ran from here."

"I can see..."

"No." Luo Xiyao looked gloomy, "I touched around, and one side of the soil was very soft and the color was wrong. He must have been digging while burying it. Even if we find someone to dig it out, it will be difficult to find the right direction .”

So cunning, any clues are really left in it to mislead them.

"If you catch him again, hang him up." He Lan Linzhang suggested.

Luo Xiyao lowered her eyes, "Next time I will interrogate myself."

In order to make her happy, Helan Linzhang told her about the punishment of Emperor Dongqi on Yang Sheng and Princess Ningxin.

Yang Sheng wasn't seriously injured, but he didn't want to be punished, so he kept pretending to be sick.

But the Eastern Qi Emperor and even Princess Ning Xin were locked up and fined for embroidered wedding dresses. How could Yang Sheng escape?
He punished Yang Sheng for copying the Tao Te Ching five hundred times.

And it was copied in the cubicle of the imperial study, and you were not allowed to leave the palace until you finished copying.

Of course, if Emperor Dongqi was discussing matters in the imperial study, Yang Sheng would have to move to the garden outside the imperial study to copy.

Emperor Dongqi neither hit nor scolded, but this kind of punishment undoubtedly made Princess Ning Xin and Yang Sheng very painful.

Even the Empress Dowager Yang is not easy to interfere.

"Is there still no conclusion about the witchcraft doll in the Shangshu Mansion?" Luo Xiyao asked.

He Lan Linzhang sighed, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs records that senior officials outside Beijing are not counted. There are sixteen mansions in Beijing that have been awarded the three-color white brocade of Yuzhou, and they are not counted as clans. As for your birthday, apart from Luo Mansion and Qin Tianjian... there is no way to know about it elsewhere."

"So it's over?"

"Otherwise? Luo Shangshu has already defended himself, and attributed the fault to the lack of strict governance in the mansion."

"Among Imperial Doctor Ding's staff, is there someone from His Majesty?"

"It's from the Department of Punishment. That eunuch found out about Luo Shangshu's concubine, the Liu family, and asked people to inquire about the whereabouts of Mr. Cheng Lin in Yushi."
