Upon hearing this, dozens of internal guards prepared their supplies and descended into the cave one after another. With a rustling sound, these people spread out and quickly got into the corridor.
It was past midnight, and the lively onlookers outside couldn't stand it any longer, so they yawned early and went home to sleep.
But tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for these people in the Department of Internal Health.
There were constant scoldings and crying in the front hall. It seems that there were a few internal guards who didn't open their eyes and annoyed the interrogating guards, and they got into trouble.
However, the internal guards of the Internal Security Department were all born out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and they were experts who had experienced interrogations for a long time. They would not lose their minds because of a few wails and curses, and they would feel compassion and strike down. Will be even more cruel and inhumane.
Therefore, people all over the world say that when the Home Guard raids your home, you are lucky to die quickly, but you suffer the consequences if you live.
Waves of night wind blew in, scattering the ashes floating in the air, and most of the burnt breath dissipated. Yao Yao took a deep breath, and he could breathe freely.
There was no excessive fire here. Han Changmu and the other three sat on the ground against the courtyard wall. The muddy ground, which had been covered with night dew, was dried by the residual heat of the fire in the distance. Sitting on the ground, they did not feel very cold.
It was late at night and it was time to go to bed. People who had been busy all day fell asleep early, but Han Changmu was still very energetic, his eyes were as bright as stars, and he did not show any signs of sleepiness.
He looked around and asked Yao Yao quietly: "What was the situation just now? Please tell me carefully."
Yao Yao said in a deep voice: "When I sneaked into the mansion, the guards were already hunting people everywhere in the mansion. Most of the people in the mansion were locked up in the front hall, but this mansion is really not small. I have seen it from above. Yes, there are a few places where it is particularly easy to hide people. I was afraid that something would be omitted, so I asked the internal guards who were good at concealment to hide in places where they could easily escape. I searched the places in the house where it was easy to hide people and things."
Han Changmu nodded slightly, his eyes showing appreciation, he was a cautious person.
Yao Yao paused slightly and continued: "I searched the study in the back house and found nothing wrong at first, but there was a vase in the study. The place where it was placed didn't look right."
Leng Linjiang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and asked curiously: "Where is the vase? What's wrong?"
Yao Yao said: "Under the window."
Leng Linjiang was surprised: "Isn't it just right to put the vase under the window?"
Yao Yao raised his eyebrows: "It was just right, but it was placed in the wrong place. The desk under the window was obviously a writing desk, with a pen and inkstone on it, and the vase was placed on the left hand side. At that time, I felt that the vase was not placed properly, so I sat down. I came down and tried it, and found that when I write according to the position of the pen and inkstone, my left arm cannot be extended at all. If I move a little, it will touch the vase. However, if I sit down to the right to write with the vase, most of my right arm is hanging in the air. It’s not suitable to stay at the desk for a long time outside the desk.”
Han Changmu raised his eyebrows: "So?"
Yao Yao smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I kept these things very clean, but the inkstone in the inkstone is Chen Mo. It's been a while, and the tip of the pen is hard. It's not so much used for reading and calligraphy, as it is to hide people's eyes." The furnishings." She paused slightly and continued: "The humble official picked up all these things and inspected them carefully. There was nothing inappropriate about the whole thing.
Zhang's desk was hollowed out and carved. It was very delicate and beautiful, and there was nothing wrong with it. However, Beizhi discovered that the opening on the mouth of the vase was vaguely similar to the hollow pattern where the vase was placed. Only then did Beizhi see that the vase was The crack on the mouth of the bottle did not form naturally, but was caused by manpower. It was inlaid with mortise and tenon joints on the furniture. It can be disassembled and installed. I removed the crack on the mouth of the bottle and put it on the bottle. Only then did he discover the location of the secret room in that hollow space, and then he discovered the man, tracked him all the way to the secret passage, and then knocked him unconscious and brought him out. "
Leng Linjiang's eyes widened as he listened, and he clicked his tongue and said, "What kind of eyes do you think you have?"
If he were to look at the vase, let alone the middle of the night in the dark, even in the bright day with the bright sun, he might not be able to see any difference in the vase. The patterns are different.
Han Changmu nodded in approval and said: "Yao Shenjun is indeed as meticulous as a hair. It's just a pity that the fire will probably burn away all these traces."
Yao Yao sighed: "When I discovered the secret room, I didn't find anyone else in the study. After entering the secret room, the door was closed. I had no idea what was going on outside. I never saw the person who set the fire."
Han Changmu said with a normal expression: "It doesn't matter, the man can't escape. He is still in the front hall. Sooner or later he will be found out."
While he was talking, several internal guards who were exploring the tunnels turned back and replied in a deep and respectful voice: "Young Envoy, there are many forks in the underground secret passages. It may not be enough to send three people to explore each secret passage." , it may be difficult to investigate in detail.”
Han Changmu was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He obviously didn't expect that there were so many secret tunnels dug underground. There were so many forked roads. Could it be that they were all used to confuse people's eyes?
He narrowed his eyes and said solemnly: "Then continue to go down. Every time you take a secret passage, mark it accordingly."
The inner guards claimed that it was, but not long after, another group of inner guards came rustling down the well.
Leng Linjiang was stunned for a long time, then ran to the mouth of the well, looked down, and said in shock: "Is there a spider web dug under here?"
Yao Yao pursed his lips and smiled: "There is a silk hole under here. There are seven beauties inside, the ones with silk in their belly buttons. I will catch them for you and send them to your house."
Leng Linjiang turned around and stared at Yao Yao with a ghostly look, and sneered coldly: "That's a spider spirit, do you think I'm stupid?"
Yao Yao said seriously: "No, you are obsessed with sex."
Leng Linjiang snorted, turned away and ignored Yao Yao, and only said to Han Changmu: "How is he? Is he feeling better?"
Han Changmu knew who he was referring to, and nodded lightly: "It's much better, don't worry."
Leng Linjiang leaned against the wall of the courtyard relaxedly, with his hands on the back of his head, and squinted his eyes lazily: "As long as it doesn't involve me, I have nothing to worry about."
The scattered sparks in the fire scene in the distance have been completely extinguished. Several buildings that were on the verge of collapse finally collapsed crookedly, rubble and tiles smashed to the ground, and thick and choking dust rose up.
The guards held up lights and carefully rummaged through the ruins, not letting go of any possible clues.
Yao Yao stared for a while, her eyes gradually became hazy, sleepiness came over her, and she covered her mouth and yawned.
Han Changmu glanced at Yao Yao and said softly
: "If you're sleepy, just take a nap. The situation below is complicated and I'm afraid I won't be able to finish checking it in a while."
Yao Yao closed his eyes and nodded, leaning against the courtyard wall, slowly falling asleep.
The night wind carried the remaining ashes away, and the cold moonlight fell down. The surroundings were extremely quiet, and the noise on the ruins was infinitely amplified.
Han Changmu twisted the robe on his body, looked at Yao Yao's slightly frowning eyebrows, concentrated for a moment, then took off his robe and covered her body.
Leng Linjiang, who was taking a nap, heard the noise, turned his head, glanced, and sneered: "Jiu Chao, I'm cold too."
Han Changmu looked disgusted: "You are thick-skinned and thick-skinned. Why should you be cold?"
Leng Linjiang suddenly started yelling, pretending to be aggrieved: "I think you are the one who is obsessed with sex."
Hearing this, Yao Yao suddenly opened his eyes, lifted up the robe covering his body, put his head on Leng Linjiang's body, and then closed his eyes again without saying a word.
She was not pretending to sleep from beginning to end, but she was in a shallow sleep. When Han Changmu moved a little, she woke up, but she lazily refused to open her eyes. She originally wanted to pretend to be asleep and get away with it, but Quan pretended that she didn't know about this. thing, so as not to slap the Young Envoy in the face by bluntly refusing, everyone would look bad, but when she heard Leng Linjiang forcefully brought her and Han Changmu together, she felt a secret fire and just wanted to get there right away. Cut it off with him.
When Han Changmu saw this scene, his face suddenly sank. There was a faint fire in his eyes, and he stared at Yao Yao for a moment.
Leng Linjiang was also shocked by this sudden experience. He held the robe with two fingers and looked out from the gap. He glanced at Han Changmu first, and then asked Yao Yao cautiously: "A Yao, how can you be like this?" Big anger?"
Yao Yao closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and a faint mist appeared under her eyes, indicating that she was not asleep, but just too lazy to talk.
Leng Linjiang was unexpectedly thick-skinned. Seeing Yao Yao dozing off with his eyes closed, without getting angry or paying attention to him, he covered her with the robe again, and walked towards Han Changmu down the steps with a playful smile: "Jiuchao has a cold face and a warm heart. You are the one who is dearest to his heart, and he is afraid that you will freeze, so he is definitely not doing it out of lust."
Han Changmu's face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
It's okay if you don't say it, but the more you say it, the worse it gets. Why does he sound like a shameless old gangster when he says this?
With a "hurrah", Yao Yao stood up suddenly with his robe in hand, startling Leng Linjiang.
"You, you, want to hit someone." Leng Linjiang shrank his neck, fearing that Yao Yao would get angry and hit someone.
Yao Yao smiled in a blink of an eye, holding the dazzling robe and said coldly to Han Changmu: "My lord, I have a strong body and am not afraid of the cold. Thank you for your kindness. There are already many people standing in your heart. If you have a big heart and a fat body, you will not be afraid of the cold." Let’s go join in the fun.”
Han Changmu's heart twitched, and he took the robe and put it on without saying a word. There was no expression on his face, and his eyes fell on Yao Yao for a moment.
Yao Yao was stunned for a moment. What did she see in those eyes? sad! !
She was stunned. When she looked at it carefully, her gaze was as calm as an ancient well.
She must have been dazzled.
Han Changmu retracted his hands in his sleeves and squeezed them secretly.
Now Yao Yao is like a hedgehog. Before he gets close, he is covered in sharp thorns. He cannot be hasty and must take his time.
