The useless daughter-in-law is going to turn the world upside down

Chapter 1286 This is too coincidental

There is a faint smell of fresh earth in the room, and there is also mud that has not been cleaned in the gaps between the floor tiles.

Snowball came to the bed and stopped moving.

Dongming Ziyu asked Mo, "Check it out."

Mo Wen stepped forward and fumbled around on the bed, but couldn't find the mechanism.

But Snowball sat there motionless, walking up and down on the bed.

Mo Wen picked up the quilt on the bed, and found that there was a gap on the edge of the bed board where fingers could be inserted. It was relatively smooth, and it seemed that it was often touched.

Ling Yao stepped forward to check, "It's not poisonous."

Mo Wen reached out to lift the bed board, and the side of the bed was lifted up, but there was no hidden passage under the bed as expected, but ordinary floor tiles.

Ling Yao took out a small solar-powered flashlight from her sleeve, turned it on and shone on it.

Dongming Ziyu and Mo Wen were slightly surprised, knowing that she got it from Bai Qingqing, so they didn't ask much.

The flashlight is much brighter than the night pearl, and it can clearly illuminate the inside.

Mo asked: "This floor tile is obviously new."

Ling Yao said: "It turns out that there should be a secret passage here, which was blocked in a hurry."

As he spoke, he pried open a brick with a dagger, and the soil inside was indeed new.

Turning his head, he asked Dongming Ziyu, "Father, what should we do now?"

Mo Wen asked, "Do you want to dig it?"

Dongming Ziyu said indifferently: "The excavation is too noisy, I'm afraid I have to cross the Ming Road. Although Gu is the Supreme Emperor, it is not good to search the residence of local officials without evidence."

As the saying goes, cannibals have short mouths and soft hands, Chu Yanqing prepared a big yard for them to live in, and everything was well prepared for eating and drinking. It seems that it is not good to dig up other people's homes for no reason.

Dongming Ziyu regretted it now, living in the yard arranged by Chu Yanqing, but living in a hotel or setting up a tent, he wronged his wife and daughter.

Both Shangguan Ruoli and Ling Yao can suffer, but Ling Yu is young, he can't bear Ling Yu to suffer even a little bit.

Ling Yao didn't know the twists and turns, and pouted: "Then let's forget about it?"

Dongming Ziyu said: "Of course not. Not many officials are clean. Even though Chu Yanqing doesn't take bribes, since this matter is related to Chu Yanqing, he must have done a lot to deal with the aftermath."

Ling Yao said unwillingly: "Won't it take a long time?"

She wanted to solve the case herself, but she didn't want to spend too long here.

Dongming Ziyu stroked her hair with his big hand, and said, "After going back to find your mother, let her contact the Plum Blossom Pavilion in Jinling to get some criminal evidence, isn't it easy?"

Although the real power of Plum Blossom Pavilion is now in the hands of Xiao Fei and Jing Xi, Shangguan Ruoli is also the former Young Pavilion Master of Plum Blossom Pavilion, so it is no problem to contact Plum Blossom Pavilion and ask them to do something.

Ling Yao's eyes lit up, "That's great."

When you go back, you don't need to go through the door, this small yard is remote, just walk over the wall.

A few black shadows flashed out from Chu Yanqing's mansion without a sound, and landed on a private house separated by an alleyway.

This is a courtyard with two entrances, but the courtyard is quite large, and the residents are not ordinary people.There are some lanterns hanging under the eaves of the corridor, swaying in the spring breeze.

Just as he was about to use his strength to leave here, he heard Snowball's warning cry and rushed towards the lantern under the eaves.

Dongming Ziyu's soaring body pulled Ling Yao again, and he sank down.

Without Dongming Ziyu's instructions, Mo Wen went to bring a lantern back.

Ling Yao turned on the flashlight and looked, her face turned pale.

Snowball continued to yell "meow, meow" at those lanterns. Obviously, there were still human skins in those lanterns.

Xueqiu's cry alarmed the people in the house, and some of the servants opened the door and came out to look. Seeing that it was a cat, they picked up a broom and drove it away.

The door of the main room opened, and an elegant young man came out, yawning, and said impatiently: "It's really spring, the wild cats are called spring."

The servant beside him said angrily, "What are you rushing for? Just shoot it down with an arrow."

The young master lazily said: "Shoot the eyes."

The dim light of the human-skin lantern shone on his face, making his handsome face somewhat ferocious.

Ling Yao saw his face clearly when he turned back to the room, covered her mouth in surprise, and whispered: "It's that Gan Yu in Qionghua Forest!"

Mo Wen also said: "Is it too coincidental?"

Ling Yao frowned and pondered for a moment, then said: "At that time, I felt that it was not right to be willing to be annoying. At that time, he said: 'The corpses in the past were thrown into the water or buried in the soil. This is the first time in such a beautiful environment'. At that time, was it time to consider the beautiful environment?"

Dongming Ziyu said: "No matter what, there are these human skin lanterns, let's search for them."

After finishing speaking, several people fell into the yard.

Snowball also ran over, yelling resentfully, "Meow, meow" to complain.

The servant who chased the cat was startled by several people who suddenly fell from the sky, and holding a broom as a weapon, he shouted, "Who are you, what are you doing?"

Some servants were trembling with fear, but they still yelled sternly: "Bold, next door to us is the mansion of the magistrate, as soon as we call, the people from the yamen will come, hurry up!"

Dongming Ziyu didn't even give them a look, and ordered: "Put away all these lanterns and search!"

"What's going on? Who are you?" Gan Yu came out of the house again when he heard the voice, his face full of impatience.

When he saw Dongming Ziyu and Ling Yao, Gan Yu was shocked for a moment, then knelt down on the ground and kowtowed: "Caomin pays homage to the Supreme Emperor, Eldest Princess, I don't know it's the middle of the night..."

When the other servants heard that the other party turned out to be the Supreme Emperor and the Eldest Princess, they were terrified and knelt on the ground one by one.

Dongming Ziyu naturally wouldn't talk nonsense with Gan, so he took a look at Mo Wen.

Mo Wen said in a deep voice: "You are involved in buying and selling human skin lanterns, and you are suspected of murder and skinning. Please cooperate with the investigation."

When Gan Yu heard this, his face turned pale in horror, and he said in disbelief, "You, you mean that this lantern is made of human skin?"

He looked terrified, panting heavily, and his eyes were frightened.

His little servant was also trembling with fear, but he still looked eager to protect his master, and said loudly: "We bought these lanterns from the lantern shop by the Qinhuai River, because they are made of cowhide, beautiful and durable, and they are not afraid of the wind." It was raining, so we bought more. We really didn’t know it was human skin!”

The name of the street and the shop matched, it was the lantern shop where they bought the lanterns.

Dongming Ziyu's eyes darkened slightly, and he said, "Call everyone in this yard here, and don't move around at will until they've checked it out."

"Yes!" Someone answered in the dark, but no one was there.

Soon, everyone in the yard was brought in.

It seems that except for being willing to be a master, they are all servants.
