377 Qin Ying waited for a moment and found that there was no problem, then he continued to search. Qin Hu and Qin Bao also began to search, being much more careful than last time. It was pitch dark, without any light, and even though the three of them had the cultivation level of Hua Jin, it was still very difficult to search.
But I didn't dare to light a torch, so I could only use a small fire stick for lighting!
The three of them searched here.
On the other side, the deputy commander rode his horse and came straight to the Darughachi Mansion. He jumped off his horse and the others saw that it was the deputy commander and said hurriedly, "Sir, why are you back so early? You didn't do anything."
The deputy commander said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Where is Lord Qimuge?"
After hearing this, the two guards said, "Patrol the backyard."
The deputy commander said, "Quick, take me to see Lord Qimuge."
He quickly found Qimuge and told him what happened. Qimuge frowned and said to the deputy commander, "You are not mistaken. Don't drink and talk nonsense."
"Don't worry, sir. I'm not talking nonsense. I saw it with my own eyes."
After hearing this, Qimuge looked at the guard beside him and asked, "Is Lord Yelu asleep?"
The guard said, "Lord Yelu just called in two maids..."
Qimuge understood that the master was enjoying life. Qimuge said, "When the master is done, tell him that I am going to the blacksmith Sun's blacksmith shop and I will report the details to him when I come back."
After saying this, Qimuge said, "Twenty people, follow me."
"yes."
After hearing this, a group of people ran directly to the blacksmith shop in East City. The deputy commander was walking in front at this time. If he really made a discovery, he would have made a contribution, and there would be rewards for meritorious service. I have to say that Brother Xiaohu is really my lucky star.
Thinking of this, the group had already arrived in East City and were about to reach Sun the Blacksmith's blacksmith shop.
At this time, Xiaohu was putting a spoonful of vinegar on his plate and eating the buns. They were so delicious. When he saw Qimuge and the others arrived, he swallowed the bun in his mouth and said to the younger brother behind him: "Go back and report to the hall master. The bait has been taken. This time, there will be something interesting to watch."
"yes."
After saying that, I left directly from the path.
Seeing this scene, a group of people had already arrived outside of Sun the Blacksmith's blacksmith shop, and the torches illuminated half of the street in red.
At this time, Qin Ying was searching in the house. It was more than a quarter of an hour later and they should have left, but they did not find the secret letter that Chen Jiusi mentioned. What should they do? Could it be that Chen Jiusi was lying to him?
Just as he was thinking about it, Qin Bao rushed over and said, "Brother, it's bad, the people from Yelu Mansion are here."
After hearing this, Qin Ying turned around and saw the torches outside illuminating half of the sky. His face changed and he said, "They came so fast. Where's the second brother? Let's retreat!"
Qin Bao immediately said after hearing this: "Second brother, second brother..."
"Brother, look at this, there's a mechanism here!"
While they were talking, Qin Hu suddenly discovered the mechanism, his face full of excitement. You see, it had to be me, otherwise who among you could have thought of this mechanism, designed next to the toilet?
As he spoke, Qin Ying turned around and saw that Qin Hu had activated the mechanism, and a dark room appeared next to the toilet.
Qin Ying felt that the secret letter was most likely in this dark room, but he couldn't go in now, otherwise he would be caught in a jar.
At this moment, he could hear the seal on the gate outside being torn open and the rattling sound of iron chains. People from the Darughachi Mansion were about to come in.
No, we can't be discovered.
"Close it, close it!"
Qin Ying said to Qin Hu anxiously at this time that what he hoped now was that Qimugege could not find the mechanism, so that he would not be able to discover the secret letter.
Qin Hu was confused. What the hell is closed? I just found it.
Qin Bao was quick-witted and went over to close the mechanism, then pulled Qin Hu to the top of the wall, and Qin Ying also flew to the top of the wall.
At this time, the door of the Sun family blacksmith shop opened directly, and a group of soldiers came in.
Surrounded by guards, Qimugege walked in and looked around but found no one. However, when he looked around, he saw a large pool of undried water on the ground. This proved that someone had just come in, otherwise how could there be water?
Qimuge waved his hand and said, "Search!"
After hearing this, a group of people immediately began to search. As for Qin Ying and the others, they would talk about it after they found something.
Twenty people are much more efficient than three people. When it comes to finding things, it doesn't mean that one's power is better than that of ordinary people. Some details are not even clear to ordinary people.
So within a quarter of an hour, a guard shouted, "Commander-in-chief, there is a secret passage here!"
When Qimugege turned around, he saw that the guard had already opened the secret passage mechanism under the toilet. At this time, Qin Ying, Qin Hu and Qin Bao, who were hiding in the darkness, all had black lines on their faces.
Upon hearing this, Qimugege didn't waste any words and walked directly into the secret passage.
Soon he entered the secret passage and found that the space was very large and could accommodate a large number of weapons. So when they came to search Sun the blacksmith's shop that time, they could put the weapons here and temporarily seal the mechanism outside.
Thinking of this, Qimugege frowned. Why did they put the weapons here in advance? Could it be that someone tipped them off in advance?
When he thought of tipping off, Qimugege immediately recalled Nan Batian's abnormal behavior that day, especially the fact that one of his guards actually ran away using the excuse that his wife was giving birth. He hasn't found that guard yet.
If the guard went to give a tip-off, then Sun Tiechui would have plenty of time to transfer the weapons.
Thinking of this, Qimugege's eyes became deep.
Combined with what happened at the East City Gate, this Nan Batian was very suspicious. They thought they should look in the secret room, but it turned out there was nothing there.
Just some useless clutter, shelves, and...
"Master Commander!"
At this time, a guard pointed to a copper basin that was obviously used to burn important letters of credit, and the basin was full of paper paintings.
Qimuge frowned, scraped the ashes with the scabbard of his sword, and found some unburned paper scraps in the basin.
Qimuge squatted down, picked up a few pieces of paper, and then looked at them.
I saw writing on all these papers.
One reads: [Iron mine sealed…]
One of them read: [Go!]
One reads: [The holy fire is immortal, light...]
Qimugege squatted down and looked at the three pieces of paper with a frown. There was not much information on them, but some problems could be seen.
For example, in the first chapter, the iron mine was sealed off. It said that Lord Yelu sealed off the iron mine. Does this mean that it affected their manufacturing of military equipment?
The second one, this one is "walk quickly". The word "walk" is half burned, but looking at the remaining half, you can tell it means "walk". At this time, we are asking them to leave quickly, do they know we are going to catch them?
The third one is even more interesting. "This sacred fire will never go out, restore the Song Dynasty" is a Zoroastrian rebellion slogan, similar to "overthrow the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty".
Zoroastrianism has also been under the banner of restoring the Song Dynasty, and even their leader claims to be a descendant of the Song Dynasty emperor, who later changed his surname to Han to avoid disaster!
From this point of view, this should be a rebellious letter to Zoroastrianism. When the Zoroastrian rebels evacuated, they burned the rebellious letter, and the specific content in it is completely unknown.
But we can guess a little bit about the content, and more importantly, what about the font?
Qimugege frowned. This font was very similar to Nan Batian's. Moreover, what were Qin Ying and the others looking for here today? Could it be that they really had secret dealings with the Zoroastrians?
No, this matter must be notified to Lord Yelu immediately. Even if Lord Yelu is enjoying himself, he must shout.
Qimuge stood up and said, "Come here, guard this place for me. I'm going back to the mansion."
Qimuge took the fragments of the letter and went directly to Yelu's mansion to report the matter to Yelu.
When Qimugege came out, the three Qin Ying brothers looked at Qimugege's expression and suddenly felt a chill. Damn, could it be that they really found some secret letter?
No, inform the boss immediately.
Thinking of this, the three of them immediately flew over the eaves and walls and left the place. At this time, Qimuge rode his horse and hurried away. Chen Xiaohu, who was hiding in the bun shop, saw this scene and said to the bun shop owner with a smile on his face: "Give me another tray of pork and green onion buns, pack them for me and take them away."
After hearing this, the boss immediately shouted, "Okay."
The buns were packed quickly and wrapped in brown paper, with three packs in total.
Xiaohu rushed back to Baihu Hall with the buns.
At this time, Chen Jie was practicing boxing in the yard, Su Yunjin was sitting in a pavilion not far away, Ruirui, Yin Hongmei, and Zhang Yong were playing "One, Two, Three, Statue" there, which was a game taught to them by Chen Jie.
At this time, Xiaohu came back and saw Ruirui playing games. He raised the steamed bun in his hand and said, "Ruirui, steamed bun."
"Um!"
After hearing this, Ruirui immediately ran over, took a bun and took a bite. It was still hot.
Xiao Hu said, "How is it? This is the restaurant you ate at the temple fair last time. It tastes good, right?"
"Mmm, delicious, thank you, Brother Xiaohu."
Xiaohu smiled and said, "Ayong, Hongmei, come here, you also have a share."
Zhang Yong was a little embarrassed, and Yin Hongmei said, "Master Tiger, I won't eat it."
Ruirui said: "Sister Hongmei, Xiaoyongzi, eat!"
Ruirui gave them one each, and then put the last big bun for herself. There were four big buns, she ate two and gave two to others. It wasn't too much.
Zhang Yong and Yin Hongmei took the buns from Ruirui, hesitated for a moment, and started eating.
At this time, Chen Jie had finished his set of boxing moves and looked at Xiao Hu and asked, "How was it?"
Xiao Hu said, "Haha, Qimuge should have been found, and he rushed back to the Darughachi Mansion."
Chen Jie said: "Very good, in this way, Yelu's suspicion of Nan Batian will increase a little bit."
Xiao Hu said: "Ah, this can't defeat Nan Batian?"
Chen Jie said: "How can we easily get rid of the leader of a gang who has been managing the Mian River for twenty years? Moreover, Yelu is in need of someone new. If we want to kill Nan Batian, we can't be impatient. We can only undermine his foundation bit by bit. When evidence points to Nan Batian again and again, Yelu has to make up his mind even if he doesn't want to."
This is Chen Jie's plan, step by step, to force Nan Batian into a desperate situation!
And today this is just the appetizer.
Xiao Hu said, "Brother Jiu Si, I have never understood why we didn't just forge a letter, but had to use a few broken pieces and put them in the ashes. If Qi Mu Ge hadn't gone to dig up the copper basin, wouldn't we have miscalculated?"
After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "A letter, first, may have many loopholes, and second, it may seem too deliberate. With only a few words like this, haha, there is a lot of room for association. Xiaohu, do you know what is the most harmful?"
Xiaohu said: "I don't know."
"Brain!"
"What is brain supplement?"
Xiao Hu asked. Chen Jie laughed when he heard this: "Haha, it's just wishful thinking. Speculations are much more useful than evidence. We don't want to kill Nan Batian all at once. As long as Yelu keeps suspecting Nan Batian, he will never be able to turn things around."
Xiaohu frowned and looked confused. Chen Jie said, "Well, you don't have to understand. Just watching the noise is enough."
