Chapter 424 Governor Liao, don’t be impulsive!
He looked at it for a long time, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, he took out a dry leaf, crushed it into ashes, put it under his nose and sniffed it.
Then he looked at the lantern in the center. The light was a little hazy, so he blew a breath into the air.
That breath was long and lingering, and it blew out the lamp in the middle without error.
Then, once he was sure the lights were out and he was alright, he strode out of the place.
The poster said in the letter, take away the lanterns?
If it were in the past, I would definitely try every possible means to take it away...
Now...
The masked man went to the confidential room and destroyed the mail. He didn't destroy all of it, but picked and chose, destroying all that he wanted to destroy and leaving behind the rest.
Inside the control room, there is a most confidential place that is usually only accessible to the owner of the building. He is not qualified to enter.
There are layers of mechanisms inside, and only someone as knowledgeable as the OP can enter. If others tell you that there is an important secret room here, you can only watch.
The masked man tried ten pigeons, and nine of them were killed by the hidden weapons.
The last one flew in.
The masked man closed his eyes and immediately entered a magical state. He could see everything the pigeon inside saw.
Inside was a large stone house filled with shelves of books and materials.
Pigeons, like humans, use their mouths to search for things on the shelves, page by page.
Finally he found what he wanted...
The pigeon was asked to open the information bag sealed with wax. Inside was a person's life story. The masked man used the pigeon's eyes to see all the contents clearly.
Beneath the mask, a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
It really is him!!
Then he ordered the pigeon to carry the information and put it in the oil lamp on the wall and burn it until only ashes were left.
He felt uneasy even with the ashes.
The pigeon flapped its wings, turning it into fine ashes and scattering them in the air.
Afterwards, he used the pigeon's vision to pick and choose some things that interested him. Some of them he looked at and let the pigeon burn, while some of them he looked at and left them where they were, intact.
It was not until a restless gurgling sound was heard outside that the masked man's eyes suddenly opened.
They are already here!
The speed of finding it was really fast.
He calmly entered the escape passage.

"Is this the place?"
The two fingers on the left and right were somewhat unconvinced.
Liao Jiu did not doubt it, "It's here."
Jiang Lianzhu asked Xiang Zuo, "What's going on? Where is this place?" seeing how surprised they looked.
Xiang You replied cautiously, "This is the back door of the Imperial Master's Mansion, the Second Princess's master."
Now, it was Jiang Lianzhu's turn to be speechless.
The second princess Xuan Yue is very famous in the Kingdom of Da'an, and Jiang Lianzhu has heard of her deeds.
That is the existence of women who are as good as men.
She is competitive in everything and is no less competitive than other men.
Xiang Zuo tried to discuss it, "Master, if we barge into the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion like this, it will upset the Second Princess. Should we go and confront the Second Princess or the Imperial Preceptor directly?"
It doesn't look like the headquarters of Baihualou at all.
If she wasn't here, the second princess would go back to Emperor Xuan and complain about Liao Jiu.
Liao Jiu said firmly, "No, this is it. No need to discuss. We won't alert the enemy. Leave a few people here to guard. The rest of you follow me and jump over the wall directly. Be careful not to let the bad guys escape."
"yes!"
Everyone received the order and was about to follow Liao Jiu into the yard.
The Minister of Justice and his men rushed over, panting. "Stop, stop! Governor Liao, don't be impulsive!"
Liao Jiu turned around and frowned, "How did you catch up so quickly?"
The Minister of Justice said, "I was searching nearby when I saw you and your men heading straight here, so I wanted to come over and see what was going on. How did you end up at the Imperial Preceptor's residence? The Imperial Preceptor is the Second Princess's teacher. You walked in without any evidence like this, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
Liao Jiu looked at the sky and saw that the sun was about to set, so he was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.
"What? Are you also an accomplice of Baihua Tower? A captain or something? Why are you blocking the investigation? Princes are guilty of crimes just like ordinary people. If the Second Princess has a dispute with Baihua Tower, she must be arrested as well!"
The Minister of Justice was terrified. "Don't talk nonsense, Governor Liao. I'm just here to remind you. If you insist on coming in, our Ministry of Justice can't stop you from going through the Six Gates. Go ahead and I'll go through the front gate. I'll give you a visiting card. If you offend the Imperial Master's Mansion, I can even put in a few good words for you."
Liao Jiu ignored him and took Jiang Lianzhu and his men and jumped over the wall and flew in.
The Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice also quickly divided the troops into half and, with a glance, told them to follow the people from the Six Gates and climb over the wall into the backyard.
He couldn't go in. What if it wasn't here? He would have to follow the procedure and go through the front door and do favors for several parties.
Then, what if this is really the place? If his people follow them in, maybe they can grab some credit. He has to make a good plan first.
But his people were no match for the Six Gates' people. They could jump over walls using their lightness skills, just by touching the ground with their toes, and they were up quickly and steadily.
His people actually climbed up with their bodies, and each of them looked extremely clumsy.
It feels a bit unreliable to point fingers at these people and claim credit for the work.
…
After entering the yard, Jiang Lianzhu observed the surrounding environment. It was very gloomy and the buildings were all painted black, making them look cold and dark.
The deeper you go, the stronger the bad feeling becomes.
The courtyards were empty and quiet, as if no one lived there.
We arrived at the courtyard in the center. There was a small two-story tower. The courtyard was open, and around it were pigeon houses...
Everyone's eyes lit up.
"Governor, this is most likely the place."
"The pigeons are not here. They seem to have all flown away."
"Master, there's something strange about this tower..."
Liao Jiu and Jiang Lianzhu strode over. The door of the tower was locked. The windows in the whole house were very small, with only a few skylights open, and they were all tightly closed, so nothing could be seen.
But there is a sense of danger inside, and everyone can sense it.
Don't dare to get close easily.
At this time, someone noticed flames coming out of several rows of houses not far from the tower.
Like something is burning.
Someone reacted, "Fire! Something inside is on fire!!"
The Ministry of Justice personnel followed from behind. Upon hearing this, they thought, "A fire? Are important documents going to be burned? How can that be possible?" The Minister instructed them to make meritorious contributions, and then they bravely grabbed the large bucket under the eaves and rushed into the house... whatever they could get out was worth it.
As a result, as soon as I reached the door and before I could push it open, some mechanism was triggered.
