Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 249 I Think So Too (Part [-])
What Wu Chen said was very casual, but Liu Jinzhong was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Li Heng aggrievedly, but Li Heng was listening to Wu Chen attentively, as if he didn't hear what Wu Chen said at all, Liu Jinzhong thought about Li Heng Previous words: You are not afraid of offending Chen Zhong, nor are you afraid of offending Wu Chen?
Wu Chen's achievements, whether true or not, have spread in the capital, and Liu Jinzhong has heard a lot of them, treating them as legends, but he can't pretend he didn't see what he saw with his own eyes in the past two days. Are you afraid?Among other things, the whole brat followed him every day and could scare him to death.

Liu Jinzhong winked at the little eunuch at the door, and the little eunuch hurried out of the room.

"...This floor is directly next to the secret passage leading to the storehouse. It can be lifted out directly. It stands to reason that it can also be hung to the bottom of the river. I can make the opening of the river bottom bigger. I went up to have a look. The silt is almost cleaned up, but, I consider that these boxes have been placed here for some years, if they fall apart when they are hoisted up, it will be troublesome, in case there is something that the government is looking for in any box Things are broken, or can’t be found, isn’t it a waste of work these two days?”

Li Heng didn't show any expression when he heard the previous words, but Li Heng couldn't hold back the last sentence, and looked at Wu Chen in surprise.

Wu Chen yelled and said:

"Your Majesty has not known me for a day or two. I am a quick-witted person. It is reasonable to say that there is nothing that can be compared with Laojie Mountain except for the gold and silver found in Longgu Mountain. But Your Majesty did not go to Yang'an County, but came here. Longgu Mountain, I don't believe that His Majesty is here for these gold and silver, and that His Majesty wants to revisit the old place, maybe get a touch of it, there must be more important things, His Majesty knows the underground passages very well, but he doesn't know that there is a dark room hidden under the river , it can be seen that the bottom of the river must have been built after His Majesty blocked the secret passage."

Li Heng was expressionless on the surface, but his heart was a little turbulent. He moved his hips unconsciously, and pretended to be calm to signal Wu Chen to continue.

"Your Majesty has been to the other courtyard before. Was there such a pond at that time?"

"I remember a small pool, not so big, with rockery and rocks placed in the pool."

"That's right!" Wu Chen looked at Li Heng excitedly and said, "The second lady should have filled that small pool."

Li Heng frowned and looked at Wu Chen.

"The water in this river is not turbid, but as we have seen, this pond is stagnant water. There is no flowing water flowing in and out. It stands to reason that it has long been smelly. Thinking about the process of building these two layers of darkrooms at the bottom of the river, I have a feeling. I came up with an idea. The pond was made after the darkroom was built. I calculated the altitude. No, this courtyard is not at the foot of the mountain, but a little higher. When they dug to the lower level, there was probably no groundwater. Seep out, when they build the two-story darkroom and need water to build a pond, where will they find water? Pour pots into it?"

Li Heng followed Wu Chen's train of thought and listened very seriously. At this moment, he blurted out: "They brought the water from the mountain stream here."

Wu Chen slapped his thigh and said:

"I thought so too! That day Yuan Tianshi jumped into the river to escape. He entered a dark room, which is the dark room outside the iron gate. When I heard the movement, I destroyed the dark room. Yuan Tianshi failed to open the iron gate to leave. I I was still thinking, how did they build darkrooms in the water? Now I understand, they built these darkrooms and tunnels first, and then released the water! Then the question is, why didn’t we find the place where the streams in the mountains flow in and out?”

"Blocked by Yuan Shuchun."

Wu Chen patted his thigh and said:

"I thought so too! Why did Tianshi Yuan block the entrance and exit of the stream? I think he discovered the secret of this pond, but he couldn't find the entrance, so he made the pond a stagnant water. Since it is stagnant water, it will sooner or later He didn't dare to pump out the water with great fanfare, but Er Niangzi would definitely not let him, and he thought that the scorching sun could help him solve the problems he couldn't solve."

"It's easy to prove this. After dawn, you can order people to check around, but how will these help you return to Beijing tomorrow?"

"The secret passage in the warehouse was repaired by a female ghost later, so His Majesty didn't know about it, and Yuan Tianshi always thought that this secret passage must be connected to other secret passages, which was also the reason why he was delayed in finding the real entrance. Of course, even if he found it, he couldn't get in. , that old man is amazing."

"Hmph! It's so amazing that I can't stand your two punches? Are you praising yourself?"

Wu Chen waved his hand and said:
"I have always told the truth. Your Majesty has also seen it. My palm can penetrate a thick iron plate. How can I be a human being? He survived a punch from me. It is naturally very amazing. Let's not talk about it first." Speaking of this, I mean, is the thing His Majesty is looking for really in the box? I found the ashes of Er Niangzi in the bedroom of the eldest princess, and this time the warehouse is also in the garden of the eldest princess ,is it possible……"

"no!"

"Okay, let's analyze another possibility. If I were the second lady, where would I put such important things on the two floors? On the upper floor, how many boxes near the hidden door are empty, that is, He said that the people who come in to get the silver are always at the door. After taking out one box, they exchange it for another. The placement of these boxes has never changed, but after more than ten years, they have only used up a few boxes... ..."

"Maybe there is silver available elsewhere, or maybe they haven't reached the time to really use the silver."

Wu Chen chuckled and said:

"I don't know the process and cost of the rebellion, but I think Er Niangzi should have thought about it when she put these boxes in the first place. The people who came to get the silver may be people that Er Niangzi trusts, and they may be trusted by Er Niangzi." It might be her, she just needs to find someone upper body, but she can't be too far away from those wooden boxes, and there should be a budget in terms of expenses. When will she spend a lot of money? In the early stage, they were waiting for Zheng ghosts. In the later stage, recruiting is the process of recruiting horses, so I deduce that what His Majesty wants to find must not be in the box in front, because the second lady may not come to pick it up in person, I don't know what His Majesty is looking for, and it is definitely not suitable for others to see That's it, Second Lady will naturally not let others see..."

"You don't know what it is?" Li Heng cast a questioning look at Wu Chen.

"I don't know! I just deduced what His Majesty is looking for based on known information, but I don't understand government affairs, let alone what the royal family likes to collect, so I can't deduce what it is." Wu Chen said very frankly.

Li Heng signaled Wu Chen to continue.

"I said before that Second Lady doesn't want to come to another courtyard..."

"Second lady, second lady! You shouted kindly! She is just a female ghost who is still thinking about harming the world after death!" Li Heng said angrily.
