Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 241 At the bottom of the river? (one more)
"Why does Tianshi Yuan have to come to Longgu Mountain?" Wu Chen asked with a smile: "On the one hand, this is the site of the eldest princess, and on the other hand, it was also the site of female ghosts. Naturally, there are some things that only female ghosts know about. Here, this is why Yuan Tianshi has kept the female ghost, Yuan Tianshi wants to know where the female ghost's gold and silver are hidden."

Xing Yun seemed to understand, and turned to look at Li Heng.

Li Heng said:
"This secret passage may have been found by Yuan Shuchun himself, or my aunt had discovered it long ago. This was my negligence. I thought that the exits were blocked, and the entrances to the secret passage from all courtyards were also sealed, so I thought No one will know anymore, I forgot that when it was blocked back then, there were still people alive in the world."

After hearing this, Wu Chen couldn't help but say:

"Killing the mouth can't solve the root of the problem. How many people who participated in the construction of the imperial mausoleum in the past dynasties have been silenced? What is the result? After the change of dynasty, no one should be stolen! What does this mean? Hold on, just like this other courtyard. It must not have been built just for living in the beginning, but there was a tunnel. Anyone who has experienced that period with the owner of the other courtyard, regardless of their own people or enemies, can think of this. There is a tunnel under the other courtyard, you don’t have to see it, if you really want to silence it, you have to kill everyone who has seen it, heard it, or even thought of it, who can do this?”

Xing Yun said in a low voice: "Rude!"

Wu Chen walked up to Xing Yun, patted Xing Yun and said:
"Don't worry, I'm just talking about it at this time, and there are no outsiders, but then again, I belong to the one who can think of, there are hundreds of people in this other courtyard, regardless of whether the eldest princess has come to the other courtyard for vacation , There are hundreds of mouths waiting to eat in other courtyards. Where did the ingredients come from? This is not a secret for a day or two, a month or two, but for seven years! But there is no granary on the ground, so I deduce that the food is underground. There is a place to store food."

Seeing Wu Chen paused, Li Heng raised his hand to signal Wu Chen to continue.

"But if you want to store food, you have to transport it first, so I thought there was a secret passage. In addition, Yuan Tianshi wanted to escape through the pond, which means that there is a secret passage underground in the other courtyard."

"You mean that Yuan Shuchun already knew about this tunnel?" Li Heng asked.

Wu Chen nodded and said:
"Otherwise, why would he insist on coming here? Yuan Tianshi basically got what he wanted from the female ghost over the years, only the gold and silver were missing, but he never found it. I thought he had set up formations around the other courtyard It's because I'm afraid that the female ghost will run away, but now it seems that there is another intention to prevent the female ghost from coming into the tunnel here again."

"So, the place where the silver is hidden is not in the tunnel outside the courtyard."

Wu Chen opened his mouth and smiled happily.

Li Heng coughed lightly, and said, "Go back now, think carefully about where you will be? Since they are all down, naturally you have to find them before going up. If you can't find them...you can go to the palace."

After finishing speaking, Li Heng glanced at Xing Yun, turned around and walked in the direction he came. Xing Yun led the way with a torch.

"Your Majesty! Is this making things difficult for me?" Wu Chen chased after him and asked pitifully.

"I didn't think that your deduction was so logical before, and it shouldn't be difficult to deduce the handling of Tibetan silver after thinking about it."

"Your Majesty, please tell me first, is there a secret room here?" Wu Chen stopped at the place where he had stopped to find the secret door before.

"Yes, this dark room can be used by people. The door on this wall is slightly larger. It is reasonable that you didn't find it, but I am curious, why did you infer that there is a secret door here?"

Wu Chen pointed to the place under the wall and said, "It's a bit slippery here."

Li Heng raised his eyebrows and continued walking forward.

Wu Chen followed behind and said:
"I was thinking before, Longgu Mountain has been sealed for several days, why didn't Yuan Tianshi and the others make arrangements? Even if they didn't expect it, there would be arrangements. I thought that among those captured by them, there must be Yuan Tianshi or the female ghost. , but you can't figure out what you're hiding in there?"

"These people were all sent into the hut a few months ago. At that time, it should be the beginning of Yuan Tianshi's implementation of killing three birds with one stone. Now I know that there are people hidden in the cave to echo those in the hut, just to prevent In case, Tianshi Yuan probably didn't expect me to come sooner, to clean them up sooner, and to send them away faster. He had prepared for the worst. What happened, as long as he was still detained in another courtyard, someone would Join forces inside and outside to rescue him..."

Li Heng snorted and said, "It sounds like it's all due to you."

"Your Majesty praised it, but if His Majesty hadn't acted ahead of time to get rid of all the people here, after Gu You left, they really said that internal and external cooperation, I really have to spend some time..."

"There are only more than 100 soldiers and pawns in the other garden. They have more people than you. Can you handle it?" Li Heng asked curiously.

Wu Chen chuckled and said, "It depends on how they do it. It's not like I'm the only one who is a bit skilled."

"Look at you, where the silver is hidden, are you confident?"

Wu Chen sighed and analyzed:

"Yuan Tianshi hasn't found it after searching for so many years, but he hasn't left here. It can be seen that he is sure that the place where the silver is hidden is here. Although the tunnels extend in all directions, it is logical that they should be found if they are searched together. Besides, the female ghost has been here for many years. You also need to use silver, there must be an action to take the silver, why didn't Yuan Tianshi see it? If you see it, you will find it."

Li Heng didn't speak, and waited for Wu Chen to continue, but Wu Chen didn't say anything more. Xing Yun noticed Li Heng's expression, and turned to Wu Chen and said, "You should keep talking!"

"Does Your Majesty know what those four monsters in the river are?" Wu Chen asked.

Li Heng shook his head and said, "It didn't exist here before."

Wu Chen said with an 'oh', "That's raised by a female ghost. There are experts behind this point. Any part of this other courtyard, Yuan Tianshi can turn it upside down, except for the pond. Dare to move."

Li Heng stood still and turned his head to ask, "You mean the place where the silver is hidden is at the bottom of the river? Then how do you get the silver when you usually use it?"

"Of course silver can't sink at the bottom of the river. There should be a secret way to the bottom of the river. There is a dark room at the bottom of the river. And those four monsters are guarding the bottom of the river. They will kneel down when they see a female ghost, and the female ghost will naturally There is a token to let the four monsters let her go, but I can't figure out how Yuan Tianshi has never seen anyone withdrawing money, even if he only saw that person once, he can get the token and he can do whatever he wants Use those gold and silver..."

"How can you find the secret passage leading to the secret room at the bottom of the river?"

"Tianshi Yuan hasn't been able to find it for so many years. How can I find it within a few days? But it doesn't matter if we can't find it. We can use other methods. Tianshi Yuan is afraid that the tunnel will be destroyed. Your Majesty must not be afraid."

Li Heng stopped again, turned his head to look at Wu Chen and frowned and asked, "What do you want to do?"

At this time, the three of them had already walked down the tunnel, and they could already see the light not far away.
