Inside the treasury, Erlu had dispatched heavy troops to guard it, hoping to prevent a repeat of last night's perilous situation. Their martial prowess was surprisingly insufficient to defeat those martial arts practitioners; had they not possessed firearms, these six men would likely have escaped successfully.
Imperial Physician Yuan, along with his young apprentice, provided emergency treatment to the six men. No one was bleeding anymore. Their jaws had been dislocated, rendering them unable to speak or bite their tongues to commit suicide.
The first thing Erlu did after taking control of the people was to make his men aware of the poison hidden in their mouths, which was deadly.
Several times in the south, we went through great lengths to capture two or three people alive, but if we weren't careful, one or two of them would disappear!
"Master, everything has been arranged!" Erlu bowed directly to Yin and Qingyan. Qingyan looked at the bluestone bricks in the courtyard, which had been dyed light pink, and felt a little emotional.
Qingyan followed behind him and walked together toward the entrance of the main room. On the high steps, there were four armchairs, with thick sponge cushions on the left and right chairs.
Both of the prince's wives are pregnant, and as servants, they must work hard to avoid being disliked by the fourth prince.
"Continue the interrogation," Yin said, wanting Erlu to pry these people's mouths open.
Qingyan lowered her head, not intending to watch the interrogation process.
"Little darling, why don't you go to the inner palace and look at the account books?" Yin had been watching Qingyan's every move and knew that Qingyan really couldn't take it anymore.
"Yes!" Qingyan helped Sulan into the accounting room. She glanced around the room and thankfully, there were no thieves. "You stand guard at the door."
Qingyan felt that something was strange about the accounting room, that something was wrong with that place.
After Su Lan left, Qing Yan didn't rush to check the account books. Instead, she began to search the room one by one, feeling that there might be something special in them.
Thump... Click click click!
On the bookshelf in the accounting office was a blue and white porcelain pen holder. After turning the pen holder, the study slowly opened to both sides.
"Sulan, quickly go and call Master over!" Qingyan was stunned to see the summer vacation clothes in front of him had all been moved to the left and right sides. This was...
Yin heard Qingyan's call in the courtyard and didn't dare to delay. He strode into the study and found Qingyan already standing next to him.
"I discovered it by chance. That blue and white porcelain pen holder is the key to controlling this secret passage!" Qingyan said, pointing to the pen holder.
Yin nodded. He wasn't particularly curious about the secret rooms. If Qingyan hadn't thought that these secret rooms needed to be thoroughly explored, Yin wouldn't have let her come along.
"Bayan, go down there yourself and see if there's anything down there?" Yin sent Bayan down to investigate, while he chose to stay with her.
Qingyan leaned on Yin's shoulder and watched as Bayan lit a torch and led a group of men down the road.
This secret passage is very deep and dark, and it seems that there is not just one exit, but rather exits in all directions.
Half an hour later, Bayan personally led the guards up, and each of them had made a good harvest, bringing out everything they could carry.
“There are so many large items, I don’t think we can possibly finish moving them all!” Bayan hoped that Yin would consult with Kangxi first. If His Majesty decided to move everything, then they could begin their work.
"Where does it lead?!" Qingyan was quite interested in this, while Bayan shook his head. They didn't have time to reach the end, so they didn't know where this place led for the time being.
“My lady, we haven’t reached the final position yet. However, I believe that the items in these secret rooms were not prepared by one person!” Bayan took out two seals. The two seals were nearly 50 years apart, which, according to historical records, clearly belonged to two different dynasties.
Qingyan was eager to try and hoped to find out for herself.
"Su Peisheng, prepare some luminous pearls, let's go down and explore!" Yin was ultimately defeated by the two bright, sparkling eyes. Qingyan liked to try things out herself, and with Yin by her side, there was definitely no chance of any problems.
A moment later, Qingyan followed Qingyan down the stairs and found that there were wall lamps in the secret room, and the lamp oil was full.
"Don't light it!" Shu Yun suddenly remembered that there was a type of wall lamp that was only for decoration, and if it were lit, it would only exacerbate the dilapidated state of the villa.
"Why?!" Everyone looked at Qingyan, puzzled.
"Look at these oil lamps, aren't they filled with too much oil? What if someone deliberately put them there as a smokescreen?" Qingyan asked directly.
Instantly, a hint of confusion appeared on many people's faces. This...
"An illusion? Who would use an illusion on a wall!" Yin muttered, then quickly took the flashlight from Qingyan Space and turned it on for them. They were shocked by the tomb in front of them. In the huge room, in the left corner, there were rows of wooden boxes, all of which had been opened, and a lot of gold and silver jewelry could be sold.
“Master is right. If we light lanterns, the air quality will definitely be poor!” Qingyan took out several small flashlights from her spatial storage. Before going out this time, she told her subordinates to make sure to gather all these flashlights together.
The tomb was surrounded by dowries and betrothal gifts, and Qingyan was truly tempted by the enormous jewelry.
"The air here is very thin. If we don't handle this properly, there could be trouble!" Prince Zhi walked in from outside. Lady Yin Genjueluo's heart skipped a beat. Yin and Yin had kicked a hornet's nest.
"I know, but someone has to risk going in," Yin said helplessly.
If they had just been waiting here, it would definitely not be a good idea.
"Look around and see what exactly is it?!" Bayan gave the order directly. These things all needed to be packed up and reported back to the capital. They had been busy for much longer than usual.
"It should be some silver and various gemstones. Even if she appears to be a frugal and simple person on the outside, I believe that when she dresses up, she will look better than Consort Tong did when she was dressed up," Qingyan muttered quickly.
Consort Tong disliked Consort De from the bottom of her heart, so she rarely mentioned her in front of Yin.
“Mother knows how to handle people. When she was in Chengqian Palace, those petty thieves outside didn’t dare to come in at all. It was because her footsteps were a little louder that the disturbances outside stopped reaching us.” Yin pondered his friend, and then looked at himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qingyan sat down with a slight pout. He then instructed Su Peisheng to send the chess piece into the sacred mountain for a secret execution.
