Chapter 282 Prison Cell
Nan Jiao walked to the corner of the room, where there was a fixed hanging lamp. She squatted down and looked at the square box base made of wooden blocks.
After some groping, she pressed a groove and heard a click.
Nan Jiao showed a slight joy on her face.
There is indeed a mystery hidden here.
After she pulled out the piece of wood, it turned out to be a small drawer.
Nan Jiao took out the things inside without hesitation.
A small square box.
A rectangular box.
The two guards were impressed. They didn't expect that Princess Jin would discover it so quickly.
They had examined the hanging lamp before and found nothing to hide.
"Zhan Beiheng." Nan Jiao did not open it directly, but called Zhan Beiheng, intending for everyone to witness together and see what was inside.
Soon, Zhan Beiheng and Pei Tianci came over together.
Pei Tianci arranged for someone to open the two boxes.
There are two bugs in the small square box.
There were a few pieces of paper in the rectangular box. There were no words on the paper, but there were some strange symbols drawn on them, which seemed like some kind of code.
Nan Jiao picked up the square box, which contained a cricket.
She was able to find the lightstand thanks to the insects. Ever since she absorbed all the power from the blood pool in the Holy Mountain, just as Xiao Yan said, she could indeed sense the presence of the insects.
She would check the light fixture.
I didn't expect there were really insects in it.
How could the Mu family have this?
She only felt that there were insects in this place, not anywhere else.
"Prince Jin, the symbols on the paper look like communications between spies from the enemy country. I will take it back and have someone study it carefully." Pei Tianci looked at Zhan Beiheng and said.
"Ask someone to make a copy for me, and I will check it." Zhan Beiheng said coldly, with a sharp chill in his eyes.
Communicate with symbols.
He is not unfamiliar.
After all, the Qin State also arranged hidden stakes in other countries, and they were all specially trained, so they naturally would not use clear words in their daily communication.
But some codes or symbols.
Only those who understand can understand.
The Mu family is really a traitor!
"Yes." Pei Tianci responded, and immediately arranged for someone to copy a copy for Zhan Beiheng on the spot.
Zhan Beiheng took it and put it away.
Pei Tianci looked at Nan Jiao and said gratefully, "Thank you, Princess Jin. If it weren't for you, we probably wouldn't have found any evidence that Mu was a spy."
After all, they had been looking for a long time.
No one noticed that there was a problem with the chassis under the lampstand.
"Of course, Lord Pei can look for it again to see if there is anything else." Nan Jiao reminded. She was going to meet Mu now.
"Okay." Pei Tianci said readily. Although those papers could be used as evidence, they should still look for them again.
Nan Jiao and Zhan Beiheng left quickly.
When leaving.
She took the two insects away.
…
Prince Rui's Palace.
When Jiang Zhiyan saw Zhan Qingheng coming back, she immediately went to greet him. She wanted to know if anything happened during the morning court session today.
The news that Jiang Nanjiao is the leader of Shura Sect has spread.
Everyone knows it, everyone knows it.
However, when she heard the people praising Jiang Nanjiao, she felt jealous, but she thought that Jiang Nanjiao's former enemies knew her whereabouts.
She felt proud again.
There will be plenty of people to help her deal with Jiang Nanjiao in the future.
"Prince, you're back." Jiang Zhiyan said with a gentle smile.
"Come here with me." Zhan Qingheng said in a deep voice with no expression on his face.
The smile on Jiang Zhiyan's face froze, and he seemed to be in a bad mood. She followed him nervously, feeling a little upset.
"My Lord, what happened?"
When they arrived at the study, Jiang Zhiyan took the initiative to ask, her pretty face full of innocence, and her bright eyes looked at him cautiously.
Zhan Qingheng pursed his lips and said, "Your mother Mu is a spy. Do you know about this?"
Jiang Zhiyan's face turned pale, and she quickly knelt on the ground, "I can swear to heaven that I didn't know about this, otherwise I will be struck by lightning and die miserably!"
Zhan Qingheng walked up to her and helped her up. "It's good that you don't know. Father suspected that she was a spy. Also, she is not the wife of the general, she is pretending to be one."
"Princess Jin told me this yesterday, but I was not sure whether it was true or not, so I did not tell the prince immediately." Jiang Zhiyan confessed with red eyes.
Zhan Qingheng slowly smiled, "So she was the one who found it out. Good job. If the Mu family is a spy, it will definitely implicate the General's Mansion."
He hoped that Mu was a spy.
As long as it doesn't involve him.
Jiang Zhiyan's heart was in turmoil and she couldn't calm down for a long time. How could her mother be a spy?
Will it implicate her?
Will it implicate the prince?
As for whether it would implicate the Jiang family, she didn't care. It was they who were unkind first and drove her out of the general's mansion.
Now, she thanked them for getting her out.
"Your Highness, why would father suspect that Mu is a spy?" Jiang Zhiyan asked. From now on, she could no longer call her mother and could not have any relationship with her.
Otherwise it will affect the prince.
Zhan Qingheng was in a very good mood and told her about the morning court. "I wanted to punish Jiang Nanjiao, but I didn't expect Zhan Beiheng to report her, so she escaped."
Jiang Zhiyan felt better. "It's not like we escaped. I heard that the leader of Shura Sect has offended many people. Someone will help us deal with her."
Zhan Qingheng was in a good mood after hearing this, "I have to thank the person who exposed it, but my father has issued an order to find out the person who exposed it."
Jiang Zhiyan's heart skipped a beat, and then she realized that she had already burned the letter.
As for the person who first spread the news in the capital, he is already dead.
Now only Banxia knows.
Banxia has always been following her and standing on her side. She would never go out and say anything nonsense. However, she knows too many of her secrets and is a hidden danger.
But she couldn't touch her for now.
"Since the other party dares to expose it, he will definitely not let anyone find out." Jiang Zhiyan smiled faintly. After weighing it in her mind, she decided to keep it secret for the time being.
She couldn't tell Zhan Qingheng everything.
After all, his mind is now more on Pang Jingyi, and she has to make plans for herself.
"That's right. Even if they find out, it doesn't matter. It has nothing to do with us anyway." Zhan Qingheng said with a smile. After all, he was just watching the show.
Jiang Zhiyan tightened her grip on the handkerchief slightly, and her heart sank.
She was somewhat glad that she had not confessed.
Otherwise, will he hand her over in the future?
…
Ministry of Justice prison cell.
Nan Jiao followed Zhan Beiheng into a large prison. There were two rows of Black Iron Cavalry guarding the prison door. After entering, there were also Black Iron Cavalry all the way.
With so many guards around, the Mu family couldn't fly out even if they wanted to.
Deep inside the cell.
Nan Jiao saw that Mu Shi had lost her former elegance and majesty, and now looked frail, with wounds of varying sizes all over her body.
After lying dormant for more than ten years, she is indeed much more powerful than the average woman.
I don’t know which country the person behind her is from.
Over the years, she has spread a lot of news that is harmful to the Qin State.
Mu had her eyes closed at first, but when she heard footsteps, she slowly opened her eyes and saw Jiang Nanjiao standing not far away, looking at her with contempt.
