"It's like they are being controlled by someone. They do whatever you tell them to do. They don't respond when you call them. Their eyes are blank."

Liu Shuijin said that this expression was very good, and after a moment of silence he spoke again:

"I suspect they were poisoned, but I don't know what the poison was."

"One time Zhang Qiang came over and I tried to get information out of him, but he figured it out and fed me some snake poison. Then he beat me up like this. I don't know what happened after that."

"I just heard them say they were going to transfer the people, but I was too badly injured at the time to hear clearly where they were going to transfer them to."

Liu Shuijin said so many words in one breath that he was already out of breath, and he felt better after taking a break.

"Who is Zhang Qiang?"

Seeing this, Lin Yuxin had no choice but to wait until he felt better before asking.

"Zhang Qiang is the county magistrate of Quyan County. He has worked with me for five years. I didn't expect him to have evil intentions!"

When Liu Shuijin talked about Zhang Qiang, he was so angry that his teeth itched and he hated him so much that he wanted to tear him into pieces.

"He didn't have evil intentions, but had planned it long ago. I guess he had colluded with others to target Quyan County. You just said that the person who came had the Rui Wang card?"

Lin Yuxin's eyes were sharp, the corners of her lips raised, she sneered, and then asked again.

"Yes, that's right. I've read it several times. It's true!"

Liu Shuijin said this with certainty.

He looked very carefully at the time, so there was no way he could have made a mistake.

Lin Yuxin frowned, King Rui?

[Emperor Xia had a total of 10 sons, but only 6 survived in the end. In addition to the crown prince Cheng Yanhao and the demoted sixth prince Cheng Xiangxiang, there were also the third prince Cheng Yijing, the fourth prince Cheng Shuolei, the seventh prince Cheng Xuyan and the third prince Cheng Yuming.]

[Among these six princes, except for the seventh prince Cheng Xuyan who is only 16 years old and the fourth prince who is 5 years old and has not yet been crowned, the other four princes, the third prince was crowned the King of Rui, and the fourth prince was crowned the King of Heng.]

[If they really hold the Rui Wang card? Why is Rui Wang so high-profile? He is saving money and saving his life. Is he afraid of being exposed? ]

[But maybe someone else is here to frame me? But there is no evidence now. The county magistrate only said that it was related to King Rui. We have to investigate further.]

Lin Yuxin thought about this and rubbed her brows. She felt that this trip was more tiring than in Beijing, and she had to solve cases! ! Her CPU was about to burn out!

If Li Xiaochen is good, let him do these brain-intensive tasks!

Suddenly I miss him a little! Lin Yuxin pouted and sighed in her heart.

"Very good. Then did you know that there is an underground passage to your study?"

Lin Yuxin took a deep breath, calmed herself down, then looked at Liu Shuijin and asked.

"Underground passage? I know!"

Liu Shuijin looked at Lin Yuxin with a confused look on his face. He really knew that there was an underground passage in this study.

"This thing is in your study, and you actually knew about it? This princess really wants to know how you are a county magistrate!"

Lin Yuxin looked at Liu Shuijin with suspicion, but seeing the confused look on his face, she knew that what he said was true.

Lin Yuxin rolled her eyes, expressing her speechlessness.

"I have only been in Quyan County for three days. When I arrived, Zhang Qiang said that this was my study and that everything inside was prepared for me in advance. I didn't think much about it and didn't find anything wrong with it."

Liu Shuijin felt hurt by the princess' words, and his tone was filled with grievance.

"But it makes sense. Why would they put the switch at the very bottom, so inconspicuous? This brainless person would definitely find it."

Lin Yuxin was also concerned about how slow this person's brain circuits were, and pointed to the brush hanging on the lower right corner of the bookshelf and said.

Liu Shuijin looked in the direction Lin Yuxin pointed and saw the bent brush and a hole in front of the bookshelf. He was unable to catch his breath and fainted.

Lin Yuxin: …!

So useless? How did he become the head of a county? Did he buy the position?

Lin Yuxin looked at Liu Shuijin, who was fainted on the recliner, with suspicion, and a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes.

Perhaps the disdain in Lin Yuxin's eyes was too obvious, Wang Yu couldn't sense it, so he spoke:

"This Liu Shuijin is not a child of a poor family, but the second son of the Yongjue Marquis's mansion. His original name is Liu Haixin. After the Yongjue Marquis died, his elder brother inherited the Yongjue Marquis's mansion and attacked the title. He found a fault with him and sent him here."

"Liu Haixin is quite capable. He took the imperial examination and won the third place. However, he requested to be transferred to another post, so the emperor sent him here casually. I didn't remember it at first, but I remembered it when I saw him faint with a jade pendant on his waist."

"That jade pendant is the symbol of the Yongjue Marquisate. Many families in the capital have some family items."

Wang Yu said that he just remembered Liu Shuijin's origin.

"So this Liu Shuijin is stupid, but he is just pretending to be stupid?"

Lin Yuxin understood what Wang Yu meant. If she was really stupid, how could she survive so long in the family? She also avoided the targeting of her elder brother, successfully passed the exam and became the third place, and she was still safe and sound while hiding outside for so long.

So this person is pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger? What is his purpose?

Lin Yuxin looked at Liu Shuijin with sharp eyes. After a few breaths, Lin Yuxin retracted her gaze and said to Xueying:

"The three of us will go down and take a look first. The others will stay up there and guard. The rest of you can follow me and take a look!"

"yes!"

Xueying agreed, then stood at the entrance of the cave, waiting for Lin Yuxin.

Lin Yuxin didn't say anything more and walked to the cave entrance. She was afraid that she would fall asleep at night if she went down this tunnel.

Xueying took a fire folder and said to Lin Yuxin:

"My Lord, please follow me."

"Um."

Lin Yuxin nodded, then took out the silver needle and kept it ready at all times.

Xueying went down first, followed closely by Lin Yuxin, and Wang Yu followed behind Lin Yuxin.

There is a ladder in this tunnel. Xueying was not paying attention to her feet just now. Suddenly, a hole appeared and she fell down without warning.

Xueying was holding a fire maker in front, and Lin Yuxin followed behind him in the light of the fire.

This staircase only has five steps. After walking up the stairs, there is a long passage. The three of them walked forward carefully.

This passage has no turns, just keep going forward. After walking for a distance, there is no road ahead.

"Princess, is this a dead end?"

Xueying looked at the wall in front of her and said with a frown.

"Look and see if there is any mechanism!"

Lin Yuxin walked forward and knocked on the stone wall in front of her as she spoke.

[She really believed that they would go to the trouble of digging a tunnel, and it would be a dead end. There must be another door. Besides, they show on TV that secret rooms and tunnels all have secrets! How can we know by trying?]

Lin Yuxin thought so and tapped harder.

Xueying also stepped forward to the wall and looked around.

Lin Yuxin knocked for a long time without realizing it was wrong.

[Could it be that I was wrong! This tunnel is not here? Then what is the purpose of them building this tunnel? Yes, there must be a way out, but they didn't find the end. ]

Lin Yuxin frowned and thought.
