"Of course it's because the secret hidden under this Jinyan Building should be exposed to the light of day."
A carriage stopped in front of the group, and Zhu Yi got off the carriage: "The posthouse has been prepared, and we can stay there when we get there."
Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing got on the carriage. Zhu Yi drove the carriage and looked at Li Mucheng and said, "We have to trouble General Li to take the soldiers to the Dongyi Inn. We will leave first."
Watching the carriage leave, Li Mucheng knew that this time Su Chenyu had completely tricked the Marquis of Xinyang. However, what he was most curious about was what was hidden under the Jinyan Tower?
Feng Zhuohua and Jiang Ting entered the ruins. Jiang Ting looked at the messy scene in front of him and asked, "Master, this Jinyan Building has been bombed. Is there anything we can find?"
"Found it!" Feng Zhuohua's words stunned Jiang Ting. He looked around and saw nothing. "Look down."
After Feng Zhuohua's reminder, Jiang Ting paid attention to the underground, but he still found nothing.
Feng Zhuohua stepped hard on the bricks under his feet, and the secret door on the ground opened just like that. Jiang Ting looked at the long stairs leading down in shock, and sighed: "Master, you are indeed the best in the world in mechanical engineering. No mechanism can escape your eyes."
Feng Zhuohua didn't say anything and walked down the stairs, and Jiang Ting followed him down.
After entering the secret room, Jiang Ting discovered that it was not affected by the explosion and everything was well preserved. It seemed that this place must be very important. In other words, the things placed here were very precious.
The things on the top two floors were all account books and various collections of gold, silver and jewelry, which were dazzling to look at, but Feng Zhuohua did not stop there, but went to the bottom.
A place similar to a study room appeared in front of the two people. There were more than a dozen bookshelves in front of them. The bookshelves were marked with different dates. The books on the bookshelves were also very strange. There was nothing on the cover except the date.
What the hell is this place?
Jiang Ting was walking among the bookshelves when he accidentally saw a note on a book with the date of his father's death. Perhaps this day was too special for him, so Jiang Ting subconsciously took the book and opened it. When he was reading the contents of the book, he felt dazed.
"General Jiang died of illness in the fifteenth year of Xuanming's reign. In fact, it was because he had many different political views from the emperor, so the Marquis of Xinyang got rid of him. The poison attached to the bones is extremely rare, so the imperial physician concealed it and made it a fact that he died of illness."
This book has only one page. Under the page is a small wooden box, which contains a suicide note from General Jiang.
Jiang Ting didn't understand why the letter was here, but he still opened it and read it. The familiar handwriting instantly made Jiang Ting's eyes well up with tears.
"Ting'er, Huai'er, I have always been loyal to my father and patriotic, but I never thought that this would be the outcome. After your father dies, you two must leave the Jiang family and never step into the Xixia court again. Remember, burn this letter and stay away from everyone."
There were only a few short lines, but Jiang Ting could imagine how his father had written this letter after being poisoned, avoiding the countless spies hiding in the Jiang Mansion.
Unfortunately, the brother and sister never read the letter in the end, and almost followed their father's old path.
"Jiang Ting!" Feng Zhuohua's voice sounded behind Jiang Ting. Jiang Ting subconsciously hid the suicide note. When he looked at Feng Zhuohua again, there was a complicated look in his eyes.
The person who really killed his father was Feng Xuanming. Feng Zhuohua was Feng Xuanming's daughter and also his enemy!
Feng Zhuohua seemed not to notice Jiang Ting's vigilance: "The palace has already checked it. This bottom layer records all the things that have happened since my father ascended the throne. Even the evidence has been collected. Guess who could set up such a big game under the feet of the emperor?"
