Inside the vast main hall, only the two of them were busy. She watched Yin exploring the treasure pavilion and felt a little tempted to join in.
She had just walked to the right and stretched out her delicate, white paw when Yin immediately stopped her.
"Little darling, don't touch that side." Yin quickly stopped her.
After many raids, many people would hide the most useful evidence in secret rooms to conceal it or buy time for their superiors.
They even incorporated numerous mechanisms to open the secret chambers, making them even more similar to those in imperial tombs.
His investigation of mechanisms follows a pattern, and this experience was basically gained at the cost of human lives. Qingyan really knows nothing about it, and he absolutely cannot let Xiaoguai take risks.
"Fourth...Fourth..." Qingyan pouted, her face full of displeasure. What was Fourth going to do?
"You'll find out soon enough!" Yin led the little guy by the hand to the left-hand display cabinet. "Su Peisheng, have someone come in and search!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several guards came in, and Yin led her to a safe place.
She sat in a corner of the hall, keeping a close eye on the movements of the Treasure Pavilion. Just as she picked up her teacup to take a sip, she saw the guard on her right quickly lunge forward, and an arrow flashing blue light flew swiftly toward the opposite wall.
In an instant, everyone in the hall was stunned, and Qingyan's mouth dropped open.
She's not as fast as a guard; if she fails, the bullet will probably end up in her shoulder.
"Sisi, you knew all along?" Qingyan's heart was still pounding wildly; this was too close to disaster.
Yin nodded, while the guards, their faces pale, continued their work.
Half an hour later, the door to the secret chamber was finally opened, and two guards were the first to enter. They exclaimed in surprise as they went in.
Upon hearing the voice, the two exchanged a glance and quickly got up to greet it.
Qingyan followed Yin into the secret room. The lights in the secret room were dazzling. She had just adjusted to them when she was stunned by the scene in front of her.
Inside the secret chamber, there were not only secret correspondence, boxes of calligraphy and paintings and rare books, but also several boxes of gold and silver jewelry. Most importantly, on the right side of the secret chamber, there were three or four cave-like holes, inside which were living women who had been conditioned with mercury. These three women were probably only sixteen years old when they died, and one of them had a slightly protruding belly, so she looked like she was pregnant.
Oh My God!
Qingyan covered her mouth, wondering why Wang Geng would do such a thing.
“Fourth Master, this shouldn’t be Wang Geng’s secret chamber!” Su Peisheng respectfully handed over two folded documents, one of which was only half-written, and the handwriting on it was definitely not Wang Geng’s.
"Hmm!" Yin nodded. Wang Geng probably wouldn't act so openly. It seems someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Yin covered Qingyan's eyes. If he went any further, he would definitely see two more female corpses, both with outstanding appearances, but their clothes had whip marks.
"Little darling, let's go up first!" Yin Yi glanced at the scene and decisively led Qingyan away from there.
At this moment, Qingyan was terrified; that one glance truly filled her with panic.
"Fourth Sister, who is this person?" Yin touched Qingyan's little face, these were things she shouldn't have seen.
Yin shook his head. Wang Geng probably had to respect the owner of this secret room, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to ignore the female corpses.
"I've sent someone to investigate!" Yin thought to himself, secretly alarmed.
Qingyan sat in her chair, still shaken, feeling really bad.
Since she transmigrated here, she has become even more convinced of these supernatural beliefs.
"Fourth Prince, these things don't happen every time the house is raided, do they?" Qingyan was a little scared. How strong must Yinzhi and Thirteenth Prince's hearts be to ignore the existence of these things?
"Little Darling, have you gone down?" When E'shuo heard the guards report that someone had discovered something was wrong with the secret room, he quickly came in from the outer courtyard. Sure enough, it was too late.
Qingyan gave a wry smile; Ah Hun was just offering hindsight advice.
"Of course I went down! It was terrifying!" Qingyan's almond-shaped eyes flashed with fear; she was truly terrified.
The three people's pale, oval faces sent a chill down her spine.
"I'm leaving this to you!" Yin took out a pocket watch from his purse, quietly noticing that it was time to check out the night market.
Before sending Qing back to her residence today, I must make sure she adjusts her mindset, otherwise it will definitely cause trouble.
"You're taking Xiaoguai out?"
"Yes, we agreed to go to the night market." Yin looked at E Shuo, this was supposed to be his job.
"Fourth Brother, are we really going to leave here?" Qingyan asked, somewhat surprised.
After seeing those things, Qingyan was sweating profusely even sitting there. She couldn't very well ask Yin to leave, after all, he was the supreme commander of this raid.
"Let E'shuo handle these tedious tasks. We can go outside." Yin pinched her little nose. Qingyan had probably been restless for a while, and had just crossed her line.
***********************
After leaving the Wang residence, Qingyan sat in the carriage and breathed a sigh of relief. It was such a headache!
The owner of that secret room must have had some peculiar fetish; otherwise, they wouldn't have turned a young woman in her late teens into that kind of person.
"Are you scared?" Yin looked at Qingyan pursing her lips and knew that the girl was really frightened.
She nodded quickly; the sudden appearance of that thing was a bit overwhelming.
"These are just some people trying to cause trouble..." Yin leaned back on the cushion, recalling the situation back then.
In his previous life, Wang Geng's home was also raided, but no one mentioned the female corpse in the secret room.
"Fourth Brother, I'll never watch the house raids again!" Qingyan rested her little head on Yin's shoulder, her face scrunched up, feeling extremely resentful. How could she have been persuaded by Fourth Brother?
Pfft!
Yin laughed; the little guy was really funny.
"It's good to go through everything." Yin didn't explain that the struggles among the women in the inner court were no less intense than those in the imperial court.
Qingyan inwardly complained that Sisi was always so meticulous, which made her feel depressed.
"Little darling, we'll encounter all sorts of things in life, and you can't just back down when you do." Yin looked at Qingyan, the little guy pouting.
She nodded quickly, hoping that Sisi would stop nagging.
"I understand, it won't happen again!" Qingyan said in a low voice. In her entire life, Qingyan had never felt so powerless.
Yin put his arm around her and sat down on the cushions, but in his heart he was thinking about whether he should let Xiao Guai see the lives of the women in the harem.
Aside from fighting, he had no other hobbies.
"Fourth Prince, let's not open any more secret rooms, okay?" Qingyan had developed a phobia of secret rooms, and it was best if such a thing didn't appear in the Prince Yong's mansion.
Yinxiang thought of the mysterious place of Qingyan and couldn't help but nod, "It's fine to leave it there."
Relieved to receive the reply, Qingyan looked out the car window. Pedestrians hurried by; some were vendors just packing up, others were rushing to do business. (To be continued.
