Chapter 202 Death Bell (Part 1)
Ye Chutang looked at the secret passage in the light.
"The capital city is truly a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers abound." Ye Chutang said meaningfully.
A mere Shaoqing of the Guanglu Temple was willing to make such a big fuss and put so much effort into building a secret passage... It's really hard not to think too much.
If the Han family had not caught fire today and Su Pei'er and the others had not escaped through the secret passage, outsiders would never have guessed that such a secret was hidden here.
Chen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
Suddenly, he stopped and fixed his eyes on the wall on the left.
Ye Chutang also stopped and followed his gaze.
"Prince?"
Chen Yanchuan said nothing, but tapped it lightly with his fingers.
Knock knock.
——Behind the wall, there is nothing!
He turned his head and told Lian Zhou, "Open it and take a look."
"yes!"
Lian Zhou responded and stepped forward immediately.
I saw him knocking on several places along the wall, and I don't know where he hit, but suddenly a small door popped open on the wall!
The scene suddenly became quiet.
Ye Chutang glanced over there, with the corner of his lips slightly raised.
Behind the doorway, there were actually a large number of gold bars quietly placed!
At first glance, it seems to be at least ten thousand taels!
With Han Tong's salary, even if he worked until he died, he would never be able to possess such a huge amount of money!
It is rare for an official not to be greedy, especially in the capital. Even a small official can make a lot of money by taking some easy money.
But this number still shocked everyone present.
"Master, here is a booklet!"
Lian Zhou was quick-witted and quickly discovered a thin book placed close to the inside of the doorway. He immediately took it out, turned around and handed it to Shen Yanchuan with both hands.
Shen Yanchuan took it and opened the first page.
Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and glanced sideways at Ye Chutang.
The woman stood quietly, her hands folded on her belly, her face calm and her eyes clear, as if she didn't care much about all this.
Shen Yanchuan had a vague guess in his mind.
He lowered his eyelids slightly, glanced at the booklet in his hand, and raised the tip of his eyebrows slightly.
This is indeed the record book of Han Yao's bribery. At the same time, this is also -
The death knell of Ye Heng is about to sound!
…
After the fire, a strong smell of burning filled the air.
Ye Shixian was waiting anxiously outside the door.
Not only did Su Pei'er survive, but now Shen Yanchuan and Ye Chutang have entered the Han family's secret passage!
Although she didn't know what the so-called secret passage was, she always felt that something uncontrollable would happen.
Han Tong is a suspicious and cautious person by nature. He was able to keep some evidence against his father, so who knows what other tricks he might have up his sleeve!
This secret passage, I'm afraid, is——
Time became extremely torturous. Ye Shixian felt that she had never spent such a difficult Mid-Autumn Night in all these years.
"Miss, why don't we go back first?" Shaoyao looked around. The looks from the people around her made her feel uncomfortable. In addition, the soldiers were guarding the place and the atmosphere was tense, which made her even more frightened.
"Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, and your wife is waiting for you at home!" she whispered.
Ye Shixian refused to move, her eyes fixed straight ahead, afraid of missing anything.
"Why rush? Wait a little longer."
My dad is locked up, how can I have the heart to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival?
If Daddy can't return home safely this time, they will probably have few days of good life in the future!
Shaoyao moved her lips, but did not dare to disobey her. She could only respond in a low voice and stay aside obediently.
Ye Shixian clenched the handkerchief in her hand.
No, no... Murong Ye had promised her before that he would do his best to help, so maybe things could turn around!
