Qianhu's face changed slightly, and the wall suddenly stopped halfway through its flip. It was pitch black inside, and it looked like a secret passage!
He Yanting stopped the captain who wanted to enter and stared at the secret passage in deep thought.
Since he could come up with a three-layer secret passage, Xiao Yanli must have also thought of a solution if the secret passage was discovered. If he went in rashly...
He Yanting sighed lightly. If only the Third Miss was here, she would definitely know everything.
Just as he was thinking about it, a Jinyiwei rushed in, clasped his fists and knelt on one knee: "Report, there is a woman outside the mansion claiming to be the third daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion who wants to see Master He."
Even if Jinyiwei had ten times the courage, he would not dare to repeat Jiang Zhiyu's words and could only speak in a tactful way.
The captain frowned slightly: "The Jinyiwei is investigating a case, how could they want to see..."
"No problem," He Yanting glanced at him. "We've already found the secret passage, so there's no need to rush. Besides, the Third Miss has great powers and will definitely be able to help us."
After he said that, Qianhu naturally didn't say anything more. He just sneered in his heart, thinking, what help can a woman provide?
After a while, the Jinyiwei came in with Jiang Zhiyu. Jiang Zhiyu looked at He Yanting and sneered, which made He Yanting tremble in his heart.
After the emperor left, Jiang Zhiyu was originally going to return to the prime minister's residence, but she became more and more angry as she sat in the carriage. For the sake of her breasts, she decided to fight with He Yanting first!
She didn't know where he had gone at first, but the Jinyiwei's movements were too obvious, and the people on the street were talking about it, so she found him without any effort.
[Instead of wasting your energy, it’s better to go crazy and torture others! ]
He Yanting: “…”
What's wrong? Weren't you fine just now?
"Miss San, do you have something important to talk to me about?"
Qianhu looked at He Yanting in surprise.
Jiang Zhiyu smiled slightly, and He Yanting suddenly felt a little nervous, even his breathing slowed down a bit.
"Mr. He has such a bad memory! Do you remember what you said to me in the carriage that night?!"
Qian Hu's eyes suddenly became hot! Like a badger in the melon field!
Tell us more!
In the carriage? He Yanting pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Miss Third, do you want to ask about that person?"
Na people? !
Qianhu was shocked. When it comes to wife, the word "marry" should be used, while the word "take" should be used for concubine.
So now Mr. He wants to take Miss Three as his concubine, and Miss Three is quite willing, but Mr. He has been slow to act, so Miss Three chases after him?
Qianhu took a deep breath.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Zhiyu suddenly changed from contempt to sympathy.
[It's like that big sack, it can really hold a lot! ]
Jiang Zhiyu snorted coldly, "Mr. He is truly a forgetful nobleman. His Majesty has already said that it was because of Mr. He's dedication, efforts, and recommendation that His Majesty granted me this official position and allowed me to attend court!"
She almost uttered the word "going to court" through gritted teeth.
He Yanting's body stiffened as he understood what had happened.
He looked at Jiang Zhiyu, who was as irritable as a little lion, and sighed helplessly: "There must be some misunderstanding here. Please rest assured, Miss Third, I will definitely dissuade His Majesty from doing this."
Jiang Zhiyu looked at him suspiciously, then seeing his sincere expression, she raised her chin slightly and nodded.
[If you dare to make up a lie to lie to me, I'll send you to see Grandma!]
He Yanting: “…”
His grandma...
It would be better to just say send him to see the King of Hell.
He Yanting thought about this and laughed out loud.
When the captain heard the word "court", he knew he had eaten the wrong melon and immediately became bored. He urged He Yanting, "Master He, this secret passage..."
[Oh? Found it? This Jinyiwei is really fast, not just a five-minute snack.]
[But I think I've only found one level. There are three levels of secret passages, and two of them end in empty shells. Only the middle level leads to the secret room. However, underneath that secret room, there's enough gunpowder buried there to blow through the entire Sixth Prince's mansion. Once Xiao Yanli hears about it, he'll probably notify someone to ignite it.]
[Luckily I came here, otherwise, wouldn't so many people have died here?]
[What a vicious mind! ]
He Yanting was horrified, but also felt a little relieved.
Jiang Zhiyu was right. With such a big move, Xiao Yanli must have heard about it by now. If she hadn't come, she and the Jinyiwei would have gone into the secret passage...
He stretched out his hand and dozens of Jinyiwei gathered around him immediately.
"Have you taken inventory? Who else is missing?"
A Jinyiwei stepped out and said, "Master He, they are all here."
In the corner of the crowd, a young servant lowered his head, his hands shaking unconsciously.
He Yanting continued, "Since there are no fewer people, then there are more people?"
The Jinyiwei was stunned and looked at him blankly.
"There are 315 maids and servants in the mansion. I will go and count them again."
The two Jinyiwei divided the area and counted the items separately. When they reached the corner, they looked at each other in surprise.
How come there is one more?
One of them reached out and picked up the servant, throwing him forward: "Reporting to Master He, there is indeed one more person!"
Qianhu was originally quite dissatisfied with He Yanting's behavior of counting people without entering the secret passage, but when he heard that there was one more person, his face changed immediately.
The servant was trembling with fear, kneeling on the ground and shaking.
The captain raised his hand and whipped him: "Tell me the truth, who are you?"
The servant trembled and said nothing. The captain was about to whip him again, but Jiang Zhiyu stopped him: "It's not him."
The captain frowned and said, "Miss San, it's already an exception for the Jinyiwei to let you in when they're investigating a case. If you interfere with them, I'll have to ask you to leave."
He Yanting was about to speak when Jiang Zhiyu pursed his lips and smiled, "Your Excellency, you may not know that the Emperor has already drafted an edict appointing me as a Hanlin Academy Assistant Secretary, serving before the Emperor. Since I know about this matter, I have the right to participate and report it to the Emperor."
Qian Hu's first reaction was absurdity. Throughout the history of Tianqi, where had there ever been a female official?!
But this matter certainly cannot be said casually. Impersonating an official appointed by the court is a capital crime!
But she just mentioned going to court again, huh?!
Go to court!
Qianhu finally reacted and looked at her as if he had seen a ghost, gasping for air!
The first female official of Tianqi! Walking before the emperor!
This is enormous wealth!
If I don’t hug this thigh now, when will I?!
Seeing that he had reacted, Jiang Zhiyu raised an eyebrow and said, "Master Qian Hu, can I check the person now?"
"Of course!"
The captain held the whip in both hands and said, "Master Shishu, please use it."
Jiang Zhiyu: “…”
[What a talented person! Flexible and adaptable! He's someone who can accomplish great things!]
He Yanting: “…”
He looked at Qianhu, who was smiling humbly, and it was hard for him to disagree.
The Jinyiwei were all shocked, as if they had seen some strange sight.
The thousand households glanced at it and then lowered their heads.
He only complained in his heart: "In all these years, when have I ever seen Qianhu smile so flatteringly?"
Miss Jiang San, you are very capable!
