Chapter 48 Discover the secret room
Only then did Jiang Youzhi lay down obediently, she took a peek at Pei Xun beside her, and seeing that his breathing was gradually steady, she cautiously turned sideways to face him.

It was the first time for Jiang Youzhi to see him dressed as a servant today, his hair was tied up high, but it didn't affect his Qionglin Yushu at all.

He was usually aloof, like a banished fairy, but now he looked peaceful when he was asleep.

Jiang Youzhi couldn't help stretching out his hand, and gently traced his eyebrows with his fingertips, followed by Rufeng's bridge of nose, and then...

Looking at his thin lips, Jiang Youzhi recalled the last few times in his mind, when he was about to kiss himself in a trance, his fingertips fell down involuntarily.

But as soon as he touched Weiliang, a hand suddenly grabbed his fingers that were raging everywhere.

His palm was scorching hot, and gradually changed from one finger to holding the entire back of the hand, and his slightly hoarse voice came from his ear: "Don't move around."

Jiang Youzhi didn't expect him to wake up suddenly, so he said softly, "My lord, are you still asleep?"

Pei Xun held the knuckles of her hand slightly, and suddenly got up and half-supported in front of her, pressing her hand hard on the bed.

Jiang Youzhi's frightened deer-like eyes reflected the deepness in the man's eyes, and he didn't know what he meant.

Pei Xun looked at the cherry red lips of the woman under him, and couldn't move his eyes away for a long time, his voice became hoarse: "You move around like this, can I fall asleep?"

Jiang Youzhi's voice was small, a little aggrieved: "My lord, I was wrong..."

Pei Xun let out a helpless breath, then lay down again, and said in a deep voice, "I'm moving around, I won't be polite."

After Jiang Youzhi heard this, her voice was obedient and sweet: "I don't dare anymore."

But after finishing speaking, he hugged his arms with both hands, pressed his forehead against his shoulders, adjusted a comfortable posture, and muttered softly, "I'm sleepy..."

Looking at the sleeping woman beside him, the corners of Pei Xun's mouth rose slightly, and he felt more fulfilled in his heart.

On the second day, according to Jiang Youzhi's wishes, Tan Zhuxian bought various things, all of which were of great value.

Seeing that his beloved woman really got better, he believed Jiang Youzhi's words more and more.

But Pei Xun took advantage of these few days to check the entire Tan Mansion, and there was nothing wrong with it. The Fusion Bank and the Tan Mansion are connected to each other.

On the east side of the mansion, there is a treasury, but Pei Xun found nothing unusual in it, it is full of real gold and silver.

That night, after Jiang Youzhi and Pei Xun left Dai Guiyu's room, they passed by Tan Zhuxian's study, and heard him scolding a servant: "How many times have I said that no one can enter the study, how did you learn the rules!"

The servant panicked and said, "Master, I know I was wrong..."

When the servant went out, Pei Xun and Jiang Youzhi looked at each other. It seemed that there were things in the study that Tan Zhuxian didn't want others to see.

The study room was heavily guarded, and it was always locked when there was no one there on weekdays. It would be a waste of time to search directly to avoid Tan Zhuxian's eyes and ears.

The next night, the servants in the mansion suddenly ran into a group in a panic, shouting loudly: "It's the water! It's the water!"

It turned out that the wing room on the southeast side was on fire. Tan Zhuxian, who was in the study, saw the flames outside and the chaos, so he opened the door and walked out.

Immediately, two domestic servants held his arms on both sides and led him away from here: "Master, the southeast wing is on fire, I will take you out first!"

Tan Zhuxian was held up like this, while turning his head frequently: "I haven't locked the door yet! I haven't locked the door yet!"

But the fire had already risen, so he had no choice but to let his servants take him away.

On Jiang Youzhi's side, a servant saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he ran into the room.

Jiang Youzhi had been waiting for a long time, but the servant said anxiously: "Master Daoist, it's settled over there."

Jiang Youzhi nodded, and immediately set off with Pei Xun, and the two sneaked into the study smoothly.

The furnishings inside are not luxurious, but they are very neat and tidy. After checking, nothing unusual was found.

Jiang Youzhi once asked the servant who was scolded that day on the sidelines, and the servant's original words at that time were——

"I knocked on the door at first, but no one answered, so I went in by myself, but just as I put down the tea, I saw the master come out from the curtain of the soft couch, and then he scolded me severely."

Pei Xun thought about it carefully, soft couch?Drapery?

At this moment, she was touching the soft couch, but she didn't find any problem, because the room was too dark, and she was a little anxious, so she accidentally kicked it on it.

But this crisp sound gave her a sudden idea. She squatted down, looked at the wooden board below with her knuckles, and realized that it was empty inside!
Pei Xun also heard the sound, and approached with a candle: "It's empty."

Jiang Youzhi nodded, but after groping for a long time, she couldn't find the mechanism to open it. She walked around to the other side, checked carefully with a candle, and saw a few tiny finger marks near the cushion.

With a smile on her face, she approached her finger lightly, tried to push it, but there was no response, and buckled it outward again.

Just hearing a "squeak", the wooden board above the soft couch suddenly fell, and a row of stairs suddenly appeared inside. This is like a secret room!
The two nodded to each other, and walked down with candles in their hands. Sure enough, they found mimeographed mills and piles of fake banknotes that had not yet been shipped.

Jiang Youzhi picked up one and approached the candle: "It's the same as the one in the silver vault."

Pei Xun nodded: "They first borrowed money from the merchants and put them into the warehouse smoothly for the inventory, and then bought these fake banknotes at a low price, colluded with Shen Chaorong to replace the real ones, and returned them to the merchants."

The two found it again on the stone table, the shipping list and the sales receipt, Pei Xun packed all the evidence, and said: "We have to go out quickly, and check here before Tan Zhuxian finds out."

Jiang Youzhi nodded: "They are transported through a secret passage, there must be another exit here."

Sure enough, an exit was found in the inner room. This secret room was connected to the back door of Juju Bank, and the two of them left the secret room smoothly.

When the fire was extinguished, it was already four o'clock, Tan Zhuxian returned to the study, and he let out a long breath when he saw that the fire did not reach the study.

Just as he was about to sit on the soft couch to rest for a while, he clearly felt that the wooden boards on the soft couch were loose, and he stood up suddenly. Then he remembered that since the fire started, he had never seen that Taoist priest again.

He immediately opened the door and called the servant: "Go and see, is the Taoist priest still in the room?"

After a while, the servant rushed back: "Master, it's not good, the Taoist priest is gone!"

Tan Zhuxian's eyes tightened suddenly: "Quick, put..."

But before he could say anything, he heard a large number of footsteps getting closer, and some officers and soldiers rushed over to control him.

He kept yelling, "What are you doing!"

The officers and soldiers said sharply: "Tan Zhuxian, you are suspected of privately printing bank notes, and I will come to arrest you according to the order!"
