Chapter 80 The other party withdrew a promotion!
The capable Third Miss Jiang took the whip from the captain, weighed it in her hand for a few times, and swung through the crowd.
The kneeling servants were all trembling with fear, stealing glances at her, occasionally looking at her, and then lowering their heads in an instant.
Jiang Zhiyu had no intention of teasing them, and concentrated on finding someone.
The maids and servants all lowered their heads, and their faces could not be seen clearly. Jiang Zhiyu observed their clothes, and there was one person who was obviously different from the others.
The servants serving in the prince's mansion also used finer silk and satin for their clothes, but the clothes on this person were even finer than theirs...
Jiang Zhiyu's nose moved slightly, and he smelled a hint of fragrance.
Camphor, the favorite of the concubines in the harem, is used to fumigate clothes. If it is placed on the collar, the fragrance can be smelled from ten steps away.
Although he has it on him, the fragrance is very faint, and it is obvious that he has not been on him for a long time.
[Little guy, I caught you! ]
Jiang Zhiyu swung his long whip and wrapped it around the other person's body. Then, with a flick of his wrist, the man flew out like a kite with a broken string and fell in front of Qianhu and He Yanting.
Qianhu could not hide his shock in his eyes.
Although he had also heard about Jiang Zhiyu beating Prince Nangong in the street, what he heard was different from what he saw with his own eyes.
The strength of the whip and the posture were both the style of a first-class master.
After the shock, Qianhu's eyes were faintly filled with admiration.
People always admire the strong. Qian Hu's flattery just now was fake, but now, he really looks at Jiang Zhiyu differently.
The servant who fell to the ground rolled and crawled to He Yanting's feet: "Sir, please spare my life, I don't know anything!"
The servant brought out the words he had prepared before: "I am the cousin of the servant in charge of purchasing for the servant under Manager Zhang. My cousin is not feeling well today, so he asked me to help. I have been here several times before, and they all recognize me."
[The sky is blue, the sea is deep, and not a word you say is true! ]
He Yanting's mouth curled up slightly.
Hearing what he said, and looking at the servants hanging their heads in the courtyard, the captain said in a stern voice: "Everyone raise your heads and take a closer look!"
Although the servant was trembling, his eyes were full of determination.
The Sixth Prince was fully prepared for everything he did, and he had indeed appeared in the Sixth Prince's mansion many times. No matter what, there was no reason to suspect him of this extra person.
The servants raised their heads as he was told, and Manager Zhang said timidly: "I have indeed seen him a few times..."
Did they catch the wrong person?
The captain looked up at Jiang Zhiyu and saw that she had a calm face and clear eyes, and his restless mood was soothed.
"Sir Secretary, this person..."
As a captain of the Jinyiwei, who was of the fifth rank, he did not need to be so humble to the ninth rank Hanlin Academy Secretary, but Jiang Zhiyu's official title was preceded by the title of the first female official of Tianqi.
What it represented was the emperor's great favor!
If he could hold on to Jiang Zhiyu's thigh, he would also be able to enjoy a share of the wealth and honor!
The captain's voice could not help but ripple as he imagined a life of luxury in the future.
He Yanting glanced at him sideways.
Jiang Zhiyu took the rope from the Jinyiwei and tied him up neatly, then found several keys and a fire starter from his chest and cuffs.
"He has camphor on him, obviously he just came out of the palace."
[Can't talk about gunpowder, that room full of gunpowder is just the right size for my space.]
[I want mountains, seas, madness! I want everything!]
He Yanting: "..."
Without them saying anything, the captain saw the fire starter and figured it all out.
It must be that they made too big a move, which reached the ears of Concubine Yu. In order to destroy the evidence, Concubine Yu sent this eunuch to burn down the palace and burn them all to death!
What a vicious mind!
The captain raised his foot and kicked the eunuch in the chest, causing him to black out in pain. He passed out without saying a word.
"Take him away, send him to the prison of the Ministry of Justice, I will personally interrogate him later!"
Two Jinyiwei came forward and carried the eunuch to the outside of the mansion.
[Nice! You are so smart! I was just thinking about how to make him shut up, and the Qianhu helped me solve this problem! ]
[Promote him, you must promote him! Make him a marquis and a prime minister! ]
He Yanting: "..."
You said this, does your father know?
Seeing that the Qianhu was about to go to Jiang Zhiyu, He Yanting stepped forward and took the key in front of him: "Jinyiwei, stand by, watch the mansion door, and don't let anyone in or out!"
After he finished speaking, he walked towards the secret room. Jiang Zhiyu followed him, thinking about the gunpowder.
The Qianhu also hurriedly raised his legs to catch up.
The secret passage was narrow and long, and at most two people could walk side by side. Qianhu followed behind them, staring at them with a pair of piercing eyes.
When two people walked side by side, it was inevitable that their arms would bump into each other. Every time Jiang Zhiyu's arm bumped into his, she felt that the other person's body was as tense as iron.
[Other people's bodies are made of flesh, but this person's is made of iron! ]
[It hurts so much! ]
He Yanting: "..."
His tense body quietly relaxed a little.
After moving forward for dozens of meters, the secret passage became wider. Jiang Zhiyu couldn't wait to move a step to the right. He Yanting saw her movements with a deep look in his eyes.
There are three secret passages in the center. Qian Hu said, "These secret passages are complicated and there may be hidden weapons. Why don't we three explore them one by one? If something happens, we can still take care of it."
They decided not to rush. Ensuring safety is the most important thing.
Jiang Zhiyu was anxious. If the three of them went together, how could she store the gunpowder in the space? !
[The other party withdrew a promotion! ]
[How can you be so ignorant! It would be great if the three troops were divided into three groups! ]
[My fist is hard! ]
He Yanting: "..."
When Jiang Zhiyu was thinking about how to knock out Qianhu and him together without alerting the Jinyiwei guarding outside, He Yanting spoke first: "It is better to divide the troops into three groups. If one of the secret passages has problems, we will all be trapped inside."
"Mr. He is right!"
Jiang Zhiyu quickly agreed, and moved his fingers slightly, thinking that if Qianhu insisted on acting together, he would do it himself!
Qianhu thought about it, and after a while, he nodded and said: "Let's do as Mr. He said."
Jiang Zhiyu and He Yanting breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Qianhu looked at them suspiciously, and Jiang Zhiyu said directly: "Then I will take the middle one, you two can do as you please."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and ran away. Qianhu called her several times but failed to stop her.
Qianhu: "...Ms. Jiang, the key is not in your hand yet."
He Yanting: "The key is just a trick. There must be a trap inside the secret room. Qianhu must be careful."
Qianhu suddenly realized.
That's right, who needs a key to unlock a secret room?
Qianhu bowed and headed to the secret passage on the left.
