Chapter 149
Before leaving, one of them looked at Jiang Yao who was at a loss where he was, and asked, "If you have nothing to do, you can go to rest and leave the rest to us."

Jiang Yao shook her head, with a hopeful expression on her face: "Can I go with you? I won't hold you back. I'm fairly familiar with Li's residence, so I can help you."

Several hidden guards looked at each other, Jiang Yao thought for a while and said: "I know the location of Li Yan's study room, but the guards are relatively tight, I can't go in, but you can, I'll just wait for you at the door."

That's good, it saves them the trouble of looking for evidence, and it takes time to find evidence, so it's best if someone leads the way.

"Let's go then."

Jiang Yao happily stepped forward.

Afraid of being recognized, Jiang Yao lowered her head and led the hidden guards all the way towards Li Yan's study.

In the dark night, they walked freely and normally like real servants of the Li family, only Jiang Yao in front was slightly nervous.

From time to time, people passed by them, but they didn't notice anything unusual, and simply swept away and left.

Taking a group of people to the place where she visited last night, Jiang Yao hid in the same place, pointing to the room ahead: "That's his study, but there are guards constantly patrolling here, I wanted to check it out yesterday. I searched for it, but unfortunately I didn’t find a chance.”

There were no candles lit in Li Yan's study room, it was dark, and there was no movement, even a needle could be heard when it fell on the ground.

"It's okay, you just need to hide here and don't be discovered by them."

After all, the hidden guard stayed in place for a while, saw the guards patrolling once, found the right moment, and disappeared before Jiang Yao's eyes in a few clicks.

No one noticed that the door of the study room opened and closed briefly, and several hidden guards kept groping in Li Yan's study room with their excellent night vision ability.

The study room is a bit messy, with various files and official documents from Jiangnan piled up, it seems that there is nothing suspicious, and even these official documents can give people an illusion.

There is a kind of Li Yan who really cares about the common people.

If they didn't know Li Yan's details, they would really be confused by appearances.

Some people are not what they appear to be.

Whether it was the desk or the floor, even the hidden guards in every corner of the bookshelves searched over and over again.In the end, even the patience of the hidden guard was exhausted.

Jiang Yao stood at the door to guard against the wind. Although she knew that Li Yan and Li Hongjun would not come back at night, she still felt a little scared in her heart. At this moment, her brows were tightly furrowed, for fear of hearing any movement from outside.

"Have you not found it yet?" Jiang Yao couldn't help but urge her.

Hearing Jiang Yao's voice, the secret guard who was leading the investigation stopped his movements and asked the question in his heart: "Miss Jiang, are you sure you heard Li Yan and Li Hongjun talking last night, and the evidence is in this study?"

Why haven't they found any clues after searching for so long?
Jiang Yao nodded solemnly, without any hesitation, with seriousness on her face: "I'm very sure, I just hid and listened to their conversation yesterday. Since there is no secret passage in the study, why don't you find out if there is a secret passage?"

If there is nothing in the study room, it means that there must be other rooms hidden in places they cannot see.

Having said that, several dark guards looked at each other, and there was a touch of appreciation in their eyes.

From the moment they came in, they saw the decoration of the study room, which was too simple, so that they always felt that it would be easier to find evidence, so they ignored more details.

Thinking of this, the dark guard hooked his hands and ordered: "Thank you, Miss Jiang, for reminding me, you guys go and search every inch of space here, there must be a secret passage."

The night was getting dark, and there were occasional birdsong outside, breaking the quiet night sky.

Now it was time for the servants to rest, after hearing the ringing of the bell from the Li residence, Jiang Yao's heart hanging in the air relaxed.

When the bell rang, it proved that no one was moving around in the whole house, and it was safest to find things at this time.

Jiang Yao no longer guarded the door of the study, but went inside to accompany the hidden guards to search for clues.

Just when Jiang Yao's hand touched a beautiful landscape painting hanging on the wall above the desk, Jiang Yao couldn't help but raise her hand to touch it.

The painting is exquisite, and even the lines of the trees are drawn vividly.

Jiang Yao couldn't help raising her hand to put it on, and found that there was a movable mechanism under the portrait!

"Here, there is a mystery here!" Jiang Yao couldn't hide her inner excitement, and her volume was slightly raised.

Hearing Jiang Yao's words, several hidden guards rushed over and took down the portrait without any trace.

On the wall is a small mechanism button.

"They said the secrets in the study room, so that's what they think it is." One of the hidden guards said.

Jiang Yao nodded, with a hint of tenacity between her brows: "Instead of guessing here, why not go down and see what's in here now!"

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Yao raised her hand and pressed the mechanism above.

Only a muffled sound was heard, and a passageway that could only accommodate one person suddenly opened on the opposite side last time, and the surrounding darkness made people feel frightened.

They have a hunch that there must be the answer they want!
After they found the passage, they planned to go down to find out, Jiang Yao was naturally to blame.

After all, the last time she was taken captive to Li's Mansion, she saw the evidence in their hands by mistake, and only she knew whether the evidence was true or not.

A few hidden guards walked in front to survey the terrain, Jiang Yao was in the middle, followed by two hidden guards to deal with the aftermath.

The secret passage was not long, but only a few steps away. After descending a few steps, the surrounding area instantly opened up, and the hidden guard in front couldn't help but gasp.

Jiang Yao followed the guard's gaze in confusion, and found that the secret room was like a normal residence, but there was still a slight stench in the air.

Where did Jiang Yao smell this kind of smell? She frowned, subconsciously raised her hand to cover her nose, and resisted the nauseating feeling in her throat.

It took a long time to suppress the disgusting feeling, raised his head again to look at what was placed in the dark room, and found that there were many young boys locked in the dark room.

"Ah!" Jiang Yao couldn't help but gasped.

For some unknown reason, Jiang Yao's eyes were a little red, as if tears were about to roll down: "Here, why are there so many young children here!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a long silence in the air, and even the hidden guards closed their mouths, not knowing what to say, being caught here, there was not a single intact part of his body.

They grew up in the Spider Pavilion, how could they not know why?
