Chapter 1275: Finding a Breakthrough
The three men in the room were all Li Yu's aristocratic slaves. They had served his family for generations and were extremely loyal.

On the table was a map of the interior of Qiaoling, which was one of the relics left by Feilong and was obtained by Li Yu.

One of his men pointed at the map and said, "This is the entrance to the outer secret passage. I went in to check it out. There is no door. Everything is destroyed and overgrown with grass as tall as a person. After I led my men in, I indeed found a hall, but it was empty."

Li Yu pointed to a small triangular sign and said, "See this sign? This is the entrance to a deeper secret passage that leads directly into the mausoleum. The entrance is in the hall, in the northeast corner."

"I understand. I know that position!"

Li Yu continued, "I've read the records. There should be a thick blocking stone here. As long as you drill through this blocking stone, the tomb passage will be opened. There is no mechanism inside, and you can go directly to the burial area. So breaking this blocking stone is the key. You need to find experienced craftsmen who work day and night to take out the burial treasures as soon as possible. Do you understand?"

The three of them bowed together and said, "Please rest assured, sir, everything will be fine!"

Inside the inner guard office, Li Chenghua was listening to a report.

During this period, the internal security forces were on high alert. Not only did they strengthen the protection of Xingqing Palace, they also began to conduct targeted investigations in Chang'an to monitor the gatherings of high-ranking officials.

Deputy Governor Xie Sen said: "We found that the clan members are closely connected. There are gatherings of more than ten people almost every day. Yong Wang Li Lin is the most suspicious. There have been four consecutive gatherings of more than 20 people in his mansion."

"Didn't anyone report it?" Li Chenghua asked.

Xie Sen shook his head, "Not yet!"

Li Chenghua said slowly: "If no one tells you about it, we will take the initiative to attack. I don't believe that everyone is so steadfast and loyal!"

Xie Sen bowed and said, "I understand. I already have a suitable candidate. We will take action tomorrow!"

Among the many sons of the former emperor Li Heng, except for the second son Li Xi, the older sons were basically all dead. There were only two young sons, one was Jing Wang Li Qi, and the other was Xiang Wang Li Xian. The other sons were relatively young.

Li Qi and Li Xian both attended the meeting convened by Yong Wang Li Lin. Among them, Li Qi was more active and was highly regarded by Yong Wang Li Lin, while Li Xian, who was only 20 years old, was just a bystander.

According to Li Lin's deployment, Li Xian was responsible for printing tens of thousands of leaflets, which were then distributed to other princes to be distributed to the people of Chang'an, exposing the scandal of the Regent occupying the former Crown Princess.

In the afternoon, Li Xian received a notice from the printing shop that 30,000 leaflets had been printed and asked him to come over for confirmation. Li Xian basically let the housekeeper be responsible for this matter, but for this important step of confirmation, he had to come in person and he had to take away the woodblock mold.

The carriage drove into Lanlingfang and slowly stopped at a large Lanling Printing Shop. Li Xian got off the carriage and followed the housekeeper into the shop.

The shopkeeper invited him to the backyard and said, "We are very careful with this batch of orders. If someone reports us, we will be in big trouble!"

Li Xian said impatiently: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Where is the thing? Give it to me immediately. You won't lose a penny."

"In the lobby, Your Highness, please!"

Li Xian walked into the lobby in the backyard, only to see more than a dozen people standing in the lobby, all wearing the uniforms of the inner guards. He was horrified and turned around to run, but his retreat was blocked and the housekeeper was pinned down and tied up.

Xie Sen walked forward slowly and said, "We have received a report from the printing shop, saying that someone is suspected of insulting and slandering the reputation of His Royal Highness the Regent. Please come with us to the Internal Security Bureau for investigation!"

Li Xian was so frightened that his legs went limp and he sat on the ground. He could not afford to be charged with "insulting and slandering the reputation of His Royal Highness the Regent". At this time, the shopkeeper said, "There is a sentence in the flyer, 'The Regent occupies the former Crown Princess'. This sentence is really too serious. Our shop cannot bear the consequences. Your Highness, I am sorry!"

Xie Sen waved his hand, and several internal guards carried Li Xian and his housekeeper out.
An hour later, the carriage stopped in front of Prince Jing's mansion. Li Xian and his butler got off the carriage in a daze and returned to the mansion with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Xie Sen once again reported the latest situation to Li Chenghua.

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, Li Xian has already confessed truthfully that Prince Yong Li Lin is indeed trying his best to overthrow Your Highness. Judging from the current situation, they intend to use the method of slandering Your Highness's reputation to prevent His Highness from ascending to the throne."

Li Chenghua sneered and said, "You are the deputy governor of the inner guards, how can you have such childish ideas? Who is Li Lin? He is a royal family member who launched two wars to fight for the throne. He would use childish means to slander his reputation. Do you think wolves will change their nature to eat grass?"

"but."

"No buts!"

Li Chenghua interrupted him angrily, "Defamation is just a superficial act by him to deceive you. With more than 40 people involved, will he announce the real means? He is not that stupid, but you actually believed it. You are so stupid!"

Xie Sen was filled with shame, and lowered his head, saying, "I was too simplistic."

Li Chenghua ignored him and looked at the list that Li Xian had given him. He pointed at Li Mao on the list and said, "Watch Li Mao's house. Also, notify all the cashiers. If anyone has withdrawn a large amount of money recently, more than 10,000 strings of cash, please notify us immediately!"

Xie Sen asked cautiously, "Does the commander-in-chief think that Li Mao knows Li Lin's true intentions?"

Li Chenghua sneered, "Li Mao has no special ability. His only advantage is that he is rich. Li Lin asked him to sit on his left because he was attracted by his wealth. I am sure that Li Lin must be training troops somewhere, but training troops requires money and food. We just need to keep an eye on Li Mao to see if he has withdrawn money or transported supplies recently. If we follow the transport vehicles, we will find our destination."

Xie Sen suddenly realized, bowed and said: "I understand!"

Li Chenghua added: "His Highness will return to Beijing the day after tomorrow. He sent me a text message asking us to keep an eye on Hanzhong County Prince Li Yu. We will also send experts to closely monitor Li Yu. We will also monitor the whereabouts of everyone in his mansion who leaves."

"I will arrange it today!"

The next morning, Xie Sen received information provided by Baoji Guifang that Prince Shou Li Mao and Prince Feng Li Gong withdrew 30,000 strings of cash and 20,000 strings of cash from Baoji Guifang respectively.

Xie Sen immediately sent several experts to track the mule carts carrying the copper coins and found that their destination was in the same direction, and the convoy was heading towards Huxian County.

In Sizhuyuan, Huxian County, there is a manor covering thousands of acres. The manor has no name and the gate is very dilapidated, which makes it look very low-key. In addition, the manor is located on a high ground, so people around cannot see what is going on inside the manor.

But at night, shouting and fighting could often be heard.

That morning, more than a hundred carts loaded with goods drove into the manor, and the manor gate was then slammed shut.

At the same time, several dark shadows flashed out from the bamboo forest on the roadside. They were all highly skilled in martial arts and easily climbed up the high wall of the manor, allowing them to see the situation inside the manor at a glance.

Several men in black were surprised to find that there were hundreds of large tents stationed in the manor.
