"Su Xiang is meticulous in his work. No wonder my father trusts Su Xiang so much. Thank you so much for sending me to Su Xiang today. I will take the first step. Su Xiang should go back home and rest early."
Before he finished speaking, the man had already got off the carriage.
It was already the ugly time, and the guard in front of the door had already gone back to rest. Ye Yun looked at the plaque of the Princess's Mansion and jumped over the wall directly.
On the carriage, after witnessing Ye Yun climbing over the wall to return home, Su Muyun had a smile in his eyes. He lowered the curtain and said, "Go home." The coachman immediately drove the horse and drove away slowly.
Outside Fengyang Pavilion, before Ye Yun could approach the courtyard, a hurricane full of murderous intent struck. Ye Yun turned around to avoid it. Before she could stand firm, a long sword shot out of the air and headed straight towards her. The stab was about to hit the heart. Ye Yun immediately leaned back to avoid the sharp blade, and then kicked the sword to one side with a roundhouse kick.
This time, without waiting for the opponent to make another move, Ye Yun said directly: "That's enough! It's me, Yu Wenyun!"
Hearing Yu Wenyun's name, the two dragon-riding guards who were hiding in the dark immediately stopped and appeared: "I have seen my master!"
Ye Yun waved his hand and said: "You have worked hard to protect my safety day and night. Go back."
As soon as the words fell, the two figures disappeared from the place at the same time.
Back at Fengyang Pavilion, Ye Yun took off his outer robe, went to bed in the dark, and fell asleep.
The next day, news spread like wildfire that Yongxing Pawnshop and Fuyuan Gambling House were sealed. Just as the people of the imperial capital were still wondering why the two shops were sealed, Dali Temple posted a notice declaring that Wu Yong and Fang Xi had committed the crime. When the incident was announced to the public, it immediately aroused public outrage and caused the whole city to revile.
At the entrance of Dali Temple, Ye Yun, still dressed in men's clothes, got off the carriage of the Princess Mansion and was about to enter. He didn't want to meet Ji Liang coming out with a pair of horses.
"I have met the eldest princess."
"Master Ji, there is no need to be polite," Ye Yun said with a smile: "I wonder where Master Ji is going with so many government servants?"
"Back to the eldest princess, I was about to take people to search Fuyuan Gambling House. Last night, Zizhen interrogated Wu Yong, the shopkeeper of Yongxing Pawn Shop, and six pawnshop clerks. They all said that they did not know who the master behind them was, and that all actions were based on the arrangements of Fang Xi, the shopkeeper of Fuyuan. , but Fang Xi has already died in the fighting arena, and now that the clues have been cut off, I plan to go to Fuyuan Gambling House to try my luck and see if I can find anything."
Speaking of Fuyuan Gambling House, Ye Yun suddenly remembered that Feng Yuchun was still locked in the woodshed in the backyard of the gambling house, and immediately decided to go with Ji Liang.
"Lord Ji, I will go with you."
"If the eldest princess is willing to go together, that would be great." Ji Liang was overjoyed. He originally greatly admired the eldest princess' ability to solve cases. Now the eldest princess has solved two major cases in a row on her own. Now there are If the eldest princess is here, she will surely discover something.
The two of them took a group of Dali Temple government servants to the Fuyuan Gambling House with great fanfare.
Outside Fuyuan Gambling House, two groups of soldiers surrounded the courtyard. When the leading soldier saw Ji Liang and Ye Yun coming over, he hurriedly saluted the two of them: "I have seen these two adults."
"Open the door, I want to search the gambling house." Ji Liang said.
"Yes!" The soldier cupped his hands, then waved his hand and said, "You two go and open the door."
The two soldiers at the front immediately stepped forward to remove the seal and open the door of the shop.
Ji Liang waved his hand: "Search!"
Behind him, the government officials filed in.
It wasn't until all the government officials entered that Ji Liang turned his head to look at Ye Yun and made a gesture of invitation: "Princess, please."
Ye Yun was not polite and immediately went in first.
After entering the gambling house, Ye Yun went straight to the woodshed in the backyard. There was no one in the woodshed except for the piles of firewood and a sack with bloodstained mouth.
Ye Yun couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling uneasy in his heart, but he had to make sure nothing happened!
Just when Ye Yun was worried about Feng Yuchun, he heard a loud noise in the courtyard and the ground suddenly shook. Before he could think about it, Ye Yun immediately turned around and headed towards the source of the sound.
In the garden in the backyard of the gambling house, the rockery originally built along the water suddenly began to sink into the pool. For a moment, the ground shook, the pool water surged, and a bronze iron door broke through the water and slowly rose. He stopped after more than a foot.
On both sides of the pond bank, a group of government officials looked at the bronze and iron gate and looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
When Ye Yun arrived, the bronze iron gate had already risen. At this moment, the water in the pool was still swaying, forming whirlpools one after another. The whirlpools kept spinning, getting bigger and bigger, and soon connected into one.
At this moment, a long bridge made of stone and jade emerged from the water. The length was exactly the distance from the pond bank to the bronze and iron gate.
Ye Yun glanced at the bronze and iron gate opposite, then went straight onto the long bridge and headed towards the bronze and iron gate. Seeing this, the government officials watching on the shore followed Ye Yun to find out.
Perhaps the person who built this mechanism was overconfident. In addition to activating the mechanism, he did not install an anti-theft mechanism on the bronze iron door. Therefore, Ye Yun just pushed lightly and the bronze iron door opened from the inside.
What came into view was a stone staircase leading down. Ye Yun led the government servants down the stone steps. The space below was very wide, with many boxes densely packed inside, all of which were locked.
Without saying a word, Ye Yun pulled out a saber from the waist of the officer behind him and slashed hard, breaking the lock into two pieces immediately.
Reaching out to remove the broken lock, Ye Yun opened the lid of the box, which was full of gold.
Ye Yun's face paused, and he opened two more boxes one after another. They were still full of gold. With a deep thought in his eyes, Ye Yun closed the box again, turned around and said to the Yamen servant who had taken off his sword before: "Go quickly and invite Lord Ji to come over!"
"yes."
After a while, Ji Liang came here under the leadership of the Yamen servants. He looked at the boxes piled on the floor and said with confusion in his eyes: "May I ask the princess where this place is."
Ye Yun did not answer directly, but moved his body to signal Ji Liang to come and see for himself.
Puzzled, Ji Liang stepped forward and opened the box. When he saw the contents clearly, he exclaimed: "Princess... this is..."
"If my prediction is correct, I'm afraid these boxes are all filled with gold."
Hearing this, Ji Liang's expression changed and he said in a deep voice: "Even if the Fuyuan Gambling House earns a fortune every day, it is impossible for it to earn such a large sum of money in just a few months. There must be something fishy about it! "
Ye Yun naturally knows that this matter is not simple, but now that Xi is dead, if he can get clues from anywhere, I am afraid it is only that person!
Thinking of this, Ye Yun raised his head and said to Ji Liang: "Master Ji, I suddenly remembered that there is another important matter that needs to be dealt with. I will leave it to Master Ji."
After saying that, before Ji Liang could respond, Ye Yun had already gone up the stone steps.
After leaving Fuyuan Gambling House, Ye Yun got on the carriage and went straight to the princess mansion.
As soon as he entered the mansion, Ye Yun ordered the servant to send a message to Chu Ci, asking him to go to the mansion to find her, while she took the lead in going to the deserted courtyard in the northwest corner.
