The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 474 Tunnel Entrance
"Gao Jun." Xuan Shijing looked at Gao Jun who was standing aside with a knife.

"What orders does Hou Ye have?" Gao Jun bowed in response.

"The official from the Ministry of Industry that Zhao Jie and Du He colluded with, let someone go and investigate, and if you have any news, just report it to me." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes, Master Hou." Gao Jun responded, "Master Hou, then these two people"

"Twenty boards per person, throw them out."

"Yes!"

The two kneeling below were taken out by the guards in the Shenhou Mansion, and only Fang Yiai, Gao Jun, and Xuan Shijing were left in the room.

Seeing Xuan Shijing sitting in front of the book case, Fang Yiai and Gao Jun couldn't help wondering what the young master was going to do.

"Young Master, don't we go?" Fang Yiai asked.

Xuan Shijing smiled and said: "Don't worry, everyone said that there is a large amount of treasure in Yang Su's old house, and the three of them became tigers, which made Ben Hou curious."

"Master Hou, didn't you say that this mansion has been turned upside down by the people of the court, and it's about to dig three feet?" If you think about it here, you can think of the treasure?
"Isn't it that we haven't dug three feet into the ground yet?" Xuan Shijing replied.

Fang Yiai and Gao Jun were both taken aback when they heard the words, could it be that Lord Hou really wanted to dig three feet to find the treasure?
"Master Hou means..." Gao Jun looked at Xuan Shijing blankly.

"I told Brother Fang when I came in, Brother Fang, can you see anything unusual in this interrogation room?" Xuan Shijing asked with a smile.

"When I first came here, the young master only told me about the interrogation room." At this point, Fang Yi'ai paused, and then clapped his hands: "Young master, did you talk about this case?!"

"That's right." Xuan Shijing smiled.

After Xuan Shijing sat down, he noticed the difference in this book case. I am afraid that the people who tidied up the cell did not realize that this book case is not movable, but just embedded in the ground. It is estimated that this is also the case. The reason why the old book case has not been replaced is not that the workers think the book case can still be used, but that the book case cannot be lifted at all.

"You are not curious, this old house of Yang Su is not a department of the imperial court, why is there a prison?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Your Majesty, in Chang'an City, it is estimated that many honorable families have private prisons. Our Hou Mansion also has private prisons." Gao Jun said.

"That's different." Fang Yiai retorted: "Dongshanhou's Mansion was originally His Majesty's Prince Qin's Mansion, and it's normal to have prison cells. If it was an ordinary noble family in Chang'an City, the prison cells would never be so large and complete. Most of them are a few small cellars converted into dungeons or a few old houses, the cell in Shenhou Mansion is very similar to the cell in Chang'an Mansion except for its size, it can be said that although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs."

"That's right, but in this cell, there is such a good book case, come and have a look, this book case is not cheap," Xuan Shijing said.

Hearing this, Fang Yiai and Gao Jun walked to the desk.

"This book case is actually made of sandalwood!" After Fang Yiai looked closely at the book case, she found that there was indeed something mysterious about the book case.

"It's really against common sense to put the sandalwood case in this interrogation room." Gao Jun said after thinking.

At this time, Xuan Shijing got up and said to Gao Jun: "Come on, check this book carefully, what's so strange about it."

"Yes, Master Hou." Gao Jun replied, then knelt down on the soft couch, drew out the dagger from his waist, began to penetrate the gaps in the desk, and then beat around with his hands.

After groping around the book case for a long time, but didn't see anything, Gao Jun was a little unwilling, so he just got down and put half of his body under the book case. The space under the book case is very narrow, thanks to Gao Jun's not so tall He was tall and tall, so he could barely get in, and only half of his body got in, so he found out some mysteries.

With half of Gao Jun under the desk, he said to Xuan Shijing, "Master Hou, I found something."

"What?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"There is an iron button that can be turned under the top of the desk. Master Hou, do you want to turn it?" Gao Jun asked.

"Are there dark holes around?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Not found." Gao Jun replied.

If there is no hidden hole, then the possibility of traps around the desk is ruled out, so Gao Jun is safe.

"Open it and have a look." Xuan Shijing said.

"Okay, Lord Hou, Mr. Shi, stand back, I don't know where the entrance is, don't hurt yourself." Gao Jun instructed.

Hearing this, Fang Yiai pulled Xuan Shijing back two steps.

Under the desk, Gao Jun turned the button. Suddenly, the desk began to sink slowly. After turning the button, Gao Jun easily retreated. Otherwise, Gao Jun's body would definitely be broken into two sections by the desk.

Gao Jun patted the dust on his back, and stood in front of Xuan Shijing and Fang Yiai, protecting them.

The desk continued to sink until it had sunk into the entire ground. After a while, the movement stopped.

"No wonder, it turns out that the entrance to the tunnel is under the desk, that is to say, in Yang Su's old house, Yang Xuangan's saying about the treasure is true." Fang Yiai exclaimed.

"Maybe, what if something else comes through?" Xuan Shijing smiled and said, "But this Yang Xuangan is a bit interesting. He built a cell in the mansion as a cover, but he made such a book in the cell. , Does he hope that others will find out, or does he hope that others will not find out?"

"If it weren't for you, Young Master, I am afraid that this authentic place would not be discovered by others. So many people rushed to this house to find the so-called treasure of Yang Xuangan, but they didn't have the slightest idea. Who would have thought that it would be under this cell?" Even if the palace sent people to search during the reign of Emperor Wude, they would go straight to places like study rooms, storerooms, and bedrooms. I’m afraid no one has set foot in this prison cell.” Fang Yiai said with emotion.

"So, Zhao Jie and Du He sent these two people to help us a lot." Xuan Shijing laughed.

"That's right, if they were not imprisoned in this cell, and Lord Hou happened to come to interrogate them personally, I'm afraid they would not have discovered the mystery." Gao Jun said: "Master Hou, shall we go down now?"

"Don't worry, I don't know what's going on in this tunnel, Gao Jun, you go and arrange for a few serious people to come over, prepare the torches, and go in together." Xuan Shijing ordered.

"Yes, Lord Hou!" Gao Jun responded, then turned around and left the cell to arrange staff.

In the interrogation room, Xuan Shijing and Fang Yiai were guarding here.
