Chu Yan wanted to go in, but Qin Shiming immediately stopped him, "Wait a minute!"
"This Yu Xiangqin is full of tricks, and the maid next to her is also very skilled. Who knows if there is any mechanism in her secret channel."
"I'll go in, you wait outside and let Lin Yi chase after me."
After Chu Yan finished explaining, he went in directly.
"Hey, you-"
Qin Shiming had no time to stop him and shook his head. He had to feel that this man had really changed.
He quickly went out to light the signal smoke on his body. After receiving the response, he quickly returned to the room and followed Chu Yan into the secret passage.
The secret passage went all the way down, and he walked forward for a while before reaching a secret room.
There are many bookshelves here, and Chu Yan is in front of one of them, flipping through the books on it.
"What's this?"
Qin Shiming leaned over and saw some names and ages written on the book.
Upon seeing these, Qin Shiming's face became even more ugly, "Are these the children sold by Yu Xiangqin?"
"It seems so."
Chu Yan picked up another book, which was also densely written with many names and ages. Most of them were children of seven or eight years old, and occasionally there were some who were ten years old.
These records made Qin Shiming look gloomy, "Just now I had some doubts about why a shopkeeper of a tooth shop would target Cyclamen. Now it seems that Yu Xiangqin has done a lot of evil things."
Early this morning, Chu Yan came to him and wanted Dr. Wu to come for a consultation. He thought something was fishy, so he followed him over to have a look. Unexpectedly, Cyclamen had been poisoned with Bronchus.
This kind of poison is so vicious that if you take it too much, even if the gods come, you will not be able to bring it back to life. Therefore, heartbroken grass has always been a banned drug and is rarely found in Qingzhou County.
After hearing about this, he immediately went to Chu Yan to ask about it. Unexpectedly, Chu Yan suspected Yu Xiangqin of being in Yahang.
Chu Yan looked around in the secret room and quickly found a box containing medicinal powder. He dipped some in it with his finger, put it in front of his nose and smelled it.
"Are these?" Qin Shiming asked.
"Yes." Handing the box to him, Chu Yan searched around the room again and found that there was a secret passage next to it. There were still unburned candles on the candlesticks on the wall. He must have just left not long ago.
"General Qin, Mr. Chu."
Lin Yi led a few soldiers in. When he saw the situation inside, he immediately remembered something. He stepped forward and took out the account book, "General, this is the account book found in the study."
"oh?"
Qin Shiming took it.
There is nothing wrong with the ledger, everything written is related to tea.
Yu Xiangqin is the owner of the tea house to the outside world, and the tooth shop is the business behind her.
"What should we do now? Yu Xiangqin must have received some news and ran away overnight. If we go after him now, we should be able to catch up." Qin Shiming handed the account book to Chu Yan, "It's just that this tunnel seems to lead directly to the outside. If you want to It shouldn’t be easy to catch up with Yu Xiangqin.”
Chu Yan pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go and chase you. You stay here to see if there's any evidence here and bring it all to Yan Jinglan."
"OK."
Qin Shiming didn't say much, just smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Yan Jinglan's iron-faced arrester would also come. I don't know if Yu Xiangqin received the news from Yan Jinglan and ran so fast. If it were Qingzhou County. The headhunters in the past have probably become their world here."
Chu Yan didn't reply.
Qin Shiming also knew his character, so he called a few soldiers and chased him into the secret passage.
"Take these away." Chu Yan said.
"Yes!" the soldiers agreed, and then took away all the bills in the secret room.
Chu Yan walked around the secret room and found nothing suspicious.
"Mr. Chu, take them all."
"Um."
Chu Yan looked around and saw that nothing was missing, so he took a few soldiers to the dungeon where Su Liuye went last time.
The bloodstains and torture in the dungeon were still there, but no one was there. They had all been taken away obviously.
"Search the house thoroughly and find all the children in custody!"
Yu Xiangqin has been doing evil in Qingzhou County for many years. The children she abducted cannot be taken away all at once if she doesn't remember them. The only explanation is that those children were hidden in other parts of the house.
As long as these children are found, Yu Xiangqin may not be able to escape the death penalty.
"yes!"
The soldiers already knew the purpose of their trip, and now they were even more angry when they saw the blood stains and torture in the dungeon.
They are all good men who protect their home and country, but they didn't expect that someone would be doing this kind of kidnapping and trafficking of children behind their backs. It's really disgusting!
But suddenly, Chu Yan's sharp eyes settled on the corner, and he shouted suddenly, "Don't touch there!"
The soldier who was about to fetch the boxes stacked in the corner immediately stopped what he was doing when he heard this.
Chu Yan came over quickly and saw a suspicious puddle of water under the box, with a small thread next to it.
Looking along the thin line, there is another section hidden in the wall, with a small hole on it, just enough for the line to pass through.
Chu Yan leaned over and smelled it, and the faint smell of fire oil floated over.
He looked grim, "Leave here immediately, there is a trap!"
The soldier who was closest also saw clearly what was inside the wall, and his expression suddenly turned ugly.
"Let's go! There's explosives here!"
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked and ran towards the door.
The person running at the front did exclaim, "The door is locked!"
When Chu Yan heard this, he walked over quickly and saw that the iron door of the dungeon had been closed.
"Mr. Chu, it's bad! The gunpowder has been ignited!"
Before he could think of any way to open the door, the soldiers behind him also shouted.
Chu Yan turned around and saw that there was a blazing fire in the dungeon.
For a moment, he finally understood.
No wonder Yu Xiangqin would put the bill in such a conspicuous place. It turned out to be to lure them into being deceived!
Before he could think too much, there was a sound of explosions coming from the dungeon.
The huge explosion shook the ground and even the people nearby woke up.
It was already past midnight, and there was no one on the street except for the watchers. Such a loud sound, not to mention coming from the vicinity of Yaxing, even Su Liuye was awakened from his sleep.
Before she could figure out what was going on, there was a knock on the door.
"A Liu, are you awake? Come out quickly, it seems that the earth dragon has turned over!" Qin Lian's exclamation sounded outside the door.
"The earth dragon turned over?"
Su Liuye was stunned for a moment before she realized it was an earthquake. She immediately ran out with her two sleeping children in her arms.
Qin Lian was waiting outside, and quickly helped her take the second treasure, and the two ran to the street.
After a while, Liu Sheng also ran out in fear, "Shopkeeper, Alian, are you okay? I just looked for you and couldn't find you."
"We're fine."
Qin Lian was covered in cold sweat. Fortunately, there was a private house next door to her room, so she heard several exclamations that woke her up.
