After giving orders to the soldiers, the Third Prince and his companions were not idle either. They followed forward and conducted a thorough search.
After searching around, they couldn't even find a cave, let alone an entrance.
"Third Prince, there is no gain from this."
Cai Ze raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, but saw the third prince staring at one place without saying a word.
Jin Ting'an followed the Third Prince's gaze and raised his eyebrows.
He didn't see anything wrong.
The Third Prince stepped forward and raised his hand to touch the stone wall that was blocked by the grass. After touching it, he curled his lips and turned to General Jin and Cai Ze and said, "I have found something."
The two looked at each other, walked to the side of the Third Prince, raised their hands to touch the stone wall, their eyes full of surprise.
"This isn't a stone wall, it's a disguised door."
No wonder they didn't notice anything wrong the several times they came here. It turned out they were disguised too well.
Cai Ze collected his thoughts and waved for someone to open the door.
When the door is opened, you can see a somewhat dark path.
The Third Prince turned around and was about to go in, but was stopped by General Jin. "Third Prince and Lord Cai, wait a moment. I'll go in and take a look. You can come in again when there's no danger."
As he spoke, he walked in, took out the fire starter from his body, blew it up and walked forward.
It was quiet inside, and the tiny footsteps were amplified infinitely and echoed in the cave.
After walking for a while, Jin Ting'an's face darkened when he saw the finished weapons piled on the ground.
After another round of inspection, Jin Ting'an confirmed that there was no one in the cave before calling the third prince and Cai Ze in.
The third prince was very calm when he saw the weapon in front of him because he heard Yu Yiluo's thoughts.
"It seems we are a step late."
These people moved really quickly. I guess they didn't have time to take the weapons with them, or they thought they wouldn't find this place.
"Come here, take these weapons back."
…
Several people returned to the government office. Li Qian, who was waiting in the government office, asked someone to bring the brewed tea. After greeting the Third Prince and Jin Ting'an, she whispered.
"I went for a walk outside and heard from the ladies that the mountain was sealed off by the previous county magistrate, so other people didn't dare to approach it."
The Third Prince held the tea and thought to himself that it was no wonder that someone smelled something bad but didn't dare to investigate.
"Have you ladies received any letters from your family?"
Cai Ze took a sip of tea. So many strong men disappeared for no reason. Could it be related to the weapons in the cave?
With so many weapons, it must take a lot of people to make them.
Li Qian shook her head. "They say there's no news."
It is no wonder that Changshan County is so poor. With only the elderly, weak and sick people left, it is not easy to develop.
After they drank some tea, the Third Prince stood up and went to where the people were being held.
Hearing the prison door open, Wang San spat out the hay in his mouth and looked at the people who came in.
"Third Prince, General, you are both important people, why don't you believe me?"
He was a good man of the King of Yueqing, but he had never met the King of Yueqing. At best, he was a younger brother of the King of Yueqing.
If he had known he would be caught, he would not have gone to the bathroom that day, otherwise he would not have been caught while going to the bathroom.
Those grandsons are really something, they don’t even care about him.
I got beaten up a few days ago, and my butt still hurts.
"Where did your accomplices go?" The third prince walked up to Wang San. Now the clues were cut off at the weapon point, so he could only wait and see what Wang San knew.
"Third Prince," Wang San said with a bitter face, "I don't know either. They are the Prince of Yueqing's men. I am only half of them at most."
I thought he could be of some use because he claimed to be the King of Yueqing before, but I didn’t expect that the title of King of Yueqing was not useful.
"What do you mean by half?"
Cai Ze was puzzled, "Do you know who was responsible for the deaths of those county magistrates?"
"I've only heard of the Prince of Yueqing, but I've never met him. I'm considered his subordinate, so I can only be considered half of the Prince of Yueqing's man."
Wang San looked serious, afraid that the others would not believe him.
He now understood that the King of Yueqing was not only not a life-saving talisman, but might even be a death warrant.
"And those county magistrates, they didn't do it either."
The people of Prince Yueqing treated him like a slave and would not tell him important things. He only knew some of the things by eavesdropping.
The reason why he was so sure that those county magistrates were not killed by Yueqing Wang's men was that he heard these people say that since the people were gone, they told Yueqing Wang that they would do the same and just get away with it.
"Have you ever seen them contact other people?" Jin Ting'an asked.
Wang San shook his head. "They don't know who killed those county magistrates either."
…
at the same time.
Outside Changshan County, a man in black, wearing a black robe and wrapping himself tightly, stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the person kneeling on the ground with his deep eyes.
"You said the place where we made weapons was discovered?"
His voice was hoarse and unpleasant, and the oppressive black robe he wore made it almost impossible for the person on the ground to breathe.
"Yes, Master," the subordinate added in a low voice, "We haven't had time to take the weapons, and the strong men are still inside."
The man in black snorted coldly, "Very good, what a bunch of trash."
After much difficulty in making some weapons, they ended up in the hands of the third prince.
"Master, I don't know how they found that place. I've searched for it several times before but never found it."
Fortunately, he discovered it in time, otherwise he would have been caught as well.
"Where are the people from Prince Yueqing's side? Find a way to send them to the Third Prince."
The man in black had a gloomy face. The weapon had been discovered and he was powerless to do anything about it. In that case, he would just go with the flow and give King Yueqing a big gift.
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
The man in black remembered the latest news he had received and called his subordinates.
"I'll leave the matters here to you. I'll go back to the capital first."
A good show is about to be staged in the capital, how could he miss it.
I hope Prince Yueqing can be more promising and not be killed by the emperor too soon, so that he can pay back what he owes me.
If I hadn't believed him back then, I wouldn't have ended up like this.
…
The more the Third Prince thought about it, the more he felt that he had overlooked something.
"Your Highness, would you like to take a rest?" Zi Yang admired the Third Prince from the bottom of his heart.
I haven't had a good rest for such a long time, but I'm still so energetic. Is this what it means to be content with love?
"Come with me to the mountain again."
The third prince stood up, opened the door, and saw Jin Tingan and Cai Ze walking over.
The three of them smiled at each other.
"It seems that you also think this matter is strange."
These people didn't even have time to take away the important weapons, which only means that the young men and civilians who were deceived are still in the cave.
Returning to the cave, they searched carefully and indeed found a place blocked by stones.
"Move these rocks away."
After the stone was moved away, Zi Yang bent down and went in. What came into his sight were people wearing linen clothes.
