Chapter 375: Secret Room in the Dark Room



Chen Shoucai fainted before he could finish his words.

Feng Jiuyan drugged him, and the dosage was enough for Chen Shoucai to sleep for a whole day and night.

After settling Chen Shoucai, Feng Jiuyan locked the door and windows of the wing room tightly from the inside. After making sure that everything was arranged properly, she immediately slipped into the space.

With a thought, Feng Jiuyan used the teleportation function of space to teleport back to the roof of Feng Wanguang's study in the governor's mansion.

Afterwards, Feng Jiuyan quietly moved a tile aside and squinted his eyes to look into the study.

At this time, the study was dark and no one was inside.

Feng Jiuyan felt relieved, and then, without hesitation, teleported to Feng Wangguang's study.

Although Chen Shoucai said just now that Feng Wanguang's study might contain evidence of his crime, Chen Shoucai was just worried that Feng Jiuyan would be dissatisfied with his inability to provide evidence to put Feng Wanguang to death, and was afraid that Feng Jiuyan would kill him.

That's why you're talking nonsense.

However, Feng Jiuyan still wanted to search the governor's mansion. If she could find some evidence of Feng Wanguang's guilt, that would be even better. If not, she would just regard it as a scout in advance.

Feng Jiuyan wore night vision goggles and silently looked around Feng Wangguang's study.

The first thing that caught my eye was the exquisite and gorgeous layout. In the study, tall and imposing bookshelves stood against the wall, filled with precious ancient books and paintings, exuding a faint scent of ink.

On the desk were placed the four treasures of the study, all of which were of top quality and exquisitely crafted. Beside the desk was a finely carved incense burner, which still had some unburned incense in it, with light smoke curling up and a pleasant aroma.

The gorgeous carpet covers the entire room, soft and comfortable.

Famous calligraphy and paintings are hung on the walls, with delicate brushstrokes and vivid ink, showing elegant artistic taste.

A pot of elegant orchid is placed by the window, bringing a touch of freshness to the study.

In the center of the study, there is a huge desk made of precious materials and carved with exquisite patterns.

Feng Jiuyan took a quick glance at the wooden furniture in the study. All of them were made of precious materials, such as golden nanmu, huanghuali wood, red sandalwood and other precious woods.

There was a wooden shelf on each side of the desk, on each of which was a night-shining pearl the size of a baby's fist. At this time, the night-shining pearl had been covered with a black cloth, so the study was so dark.

Without further ado, Feng Jiuyan began a carpet search of the entire study.

First, start with the desk.

Feng Jiuyan searched the entire desk and found all the secret compartments and hidden layers easily.

Unfortunately, apart from tens of thousands of taels of silver notes, no evidence of Feng Wanguang’s guilt was found!

Although Feng Jiuyan coveted these banknotes, in order not to alert the enemy, she reluctantly put the banknotes back into the secret compartment.

She looked at the thick stack of banknotes in the secret compartment with a painful look on her face, and muttered a few words, "My dears, don't worry, I will take you back tomorrow night."

After saying that, he quickly restored all the things on the desk, including the items in the secret compartments, to their original state. Even if Feng Wangguang came and looked, he would not be able to see any signs that anyone had touched them.

Unable to find what she wanted on the desk, Feng Jiuyan moved to another location. She knocked on the wall, the floor, and turned everything on the bookshelf that could be moved, but could not find any trace of a secret room.

After searching for a long time and finding nothing, Feng Jiuyan felt a little tired, so he stopped to rest for a while.

At this moment, she happened to be standing next to the desk. She frowned and looked carefully at the study in front of her.

Feng Jiuyan's hand habitually turned the dagger, but there was no dagger in his hand at the moment. He happened to see the incense burner on the table, and Feng Jiuyan's hands itched, and he couldn't help but move them.

She touched this side and turned that side. She was bored and wanted to play with the incense burner in her hands. But she didn't expect that she couldn't lift the incense burner!

This discovery made Feng Jiuyan very surprised. This meant that the incense burner was probably the mechanism of the secret room!

Thinking of this, Feng Jiuyan held the incense burner with both hands and gently rotated it in a clockwise direction.

With a "click".

The bookshelf that seemed very tall and imposing just now slowly moved to the sides, and a door appeared that was wide enough for two people to pass through.

Feng Jiuyan walked in without hesitation.

What comes into view is a small dark room.

There is also a night-shining pearl in the dark room, so the dark room is as bright as day.

Having experienced all kinds of hidden weapons in the secret room of Black Wind Village, Feng Jiuyan was very cautious this time. She took out a Tang sword from the space and stepped in carefully.

The dark room looked nothing special. It contained only some rare copies of antique calligraphy and paintings, as well as some gold, silver and jewelry, but the number was less than half of what was in Black Wind Village.

But how could Feng Jiuyan believe that Feng Wangguang's financial resources were so small? He probably didn't know where to hide them. She carefully observed the dark room and found that one of the walls was very strange.

There were no treasures or jewels in front of this wall, but it was empty, unlike the other three walls which were filled with gold, silver and jewels.

Feng Jiuyan had a hunch that there might be another secret door here!

However, when she looked closely at the wall, she could not see any difference from the surrounding area.

It looks like a whole wall!

Feng Jiuyan paced in the dark room. She looked around and her eyes finally locked on the night pearl the size of a baby's fist on the wooden shelf next to the wall.

Feng Jiuyan took hold of the Night Pearl and began to rotate it.

"Hiss~, why can't it turn? Could it be that I guessed wrong?" Feng Jiuyan let out a soft hiss, his brows tightly furrowed, staring at the still motionless Night Pearl, revealing a hint of confusion and doubt.

No matter how hard she tried to spin the Night-Shining Pearl, it didn't move at all.

I tried to pick it up, but couldn't. I tried to turn it, but couldn't.

Finally, Feng Jiuyan decided to give it a try and slapped the night pearl hard.

“Boom!”

As the sound rang out, a secret door on the wall was revealed.

A secret room in a dark room! There was no flaw at all, and it looked like the secret door was integrated into the wall.

As expected of an old fox, this secret door is so well made!

If Feng Jiuyan hadn't known about Feng Wangguang's sinister blackmail, he probably wouldn't have suspected that this was a secret door.

Feng Jiuyan smiled and stepped into the secret room cautiously.

As soon as he entered the secret room, Feng Jiuyan froze in place.

This secret room is dozens of times larger than the dark room we just entered. There are many large wooden boxes stacked inside. Not only that, there are rows of antique shelves in the secret room. The antique shelves are filled with various rare treasures, unique books and paintings, and many precious medicinal materials.
