Chapter 265 What exactly is this booklet?
Chapter 266 What exactly is this booklet?
Sheng Xi followed the memory in the dream and came to one of the walls, and there was a small wooden shelf nailed to the wall. There were several neatly arranged folk arts on it, but now it was very messy. It had obviously been touched.

Meng Yan was still shocked by Sheng Xi's words, but she refused to acknowledge them and the other party never asked again.However, unexpectedly, after she finished treating her wounds, when she stood up again, she walked towards the small shelf with a clear purpose!
At that moment, Meng Yan was thinking about everything in her mind, and she was staring at Sheng Xi's back, wanting to make a hole in it!
Sheng Xi, on the other hand, seemed completely unaware of Meng Yan's gaze that almost penetrated her. After standing in front of the small grid for a moment, she raised her hand and started pressing back and forth on the small grid.

Meng Yan's heart was in her throat, but she bit her lip tightly to prevent herself from letting out a single sound. However, her increasingly trembling pupils revealed her almost uncontrollable nervousness.

The secret compartment was made extremely secretive and so blatant that visitors did not discover its location.

After Sheng Xi rubbed it for a while, she finally felt something strange with her fingertips.Pressing it down harder, there was a "click" sound, as if something was unlocked, and the next moment, the seemingly normal wall popped out a foot.

Sheng Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, and behind him, Meng Yan's hoarse and impatient voice followed closely: "Sheng Xi! What are you going to do?"

Meng Yan never expected that Sheng Xi would discover that secret compartment, even the two people before had not been able to discover it!
She couldn't figure it out, but Sheng Xi found it!

"Sheng Xi, stop!" Meng Yan watched helplessly as Sheng Xi reached out and took out the booklet from the dark room, but she couldn't move. She could only crawl forward two steps with difficulty and could not move again.

Who is this girl in front of me?How did she know about this booklet?What does she want to do?Is she in the same group as those people?

Meng Yan had countless questions in her mind that she wanted to ask Sheng Xi, but at the end of the day, she still left herself a little lucky.

"Sheng Xi, you can't touch this thing! Give it to me quickly!" Meng Yan almost begged.

Sheng Xi turned around and saw her struggling, frowned slightly, and the next moment he took two steps forward and squatted directly in front of her, saying: "Mr. Sheng, can you tell me first, what is this booklet?"

The trace of luck in Meng Yan's heart moved slightly. She looked at Sheng Xi in surprise and asked doubtfully: "You, you don't know what this booklet is?"

Sheng Xi shook his head honestly: "I don't know."

Meng Yan opened her mouth: "But...but why do you know it's there?"

Could it be that you have been staring at me from behind?

This sentence was Meng Yan's subtext. Although she didn't say it out loud, Sheng Xi seemed to understand what she meant and found a reason to reply: "When I came to your house last time, I saw that you kept looking at this place. So, I wanted to try Give it a try.”

Meng Yan frowned, wondering whether Sheng Xi's words were true or false.But she recalled that when Sheng Xi came home that day, because of the accidental exposure of the book, she did look at the hidden compartment, but she couldn't remember whether it was in front of Sheng Xi.

Sheng Xi saw that she seemed to be lost in memories, and thinking of her injuries, she asked her again: "Doctor Meng, what exactly is this booklet?"

Meng Yan raised her eyes to look at her. At this moment, the moon hidden deep in the clouds finally escaped the haze and once again showed its brilliance.And Sheng Xi's clear eyes were facing the moonlight, and at this moment, a layer of brilliance came in, making it look extremely clear.

After seeing those eyes, Meng Yan didn't know what she thought of. Her eyes trembled slightly and she suddenly said: "Sheng Xi, you... I advise you not to ask again. This booklet... is not a good thing... …”

As she said that, she looked at the lifeless man next to her, with sadness on her lips: "Just like him, he was originally an innocent person, but who would have expected that his final end would be like this..."

Seeing her like this, Sheng Xi knew that she didn't want to talk anymore, but she felt a trace of genuine concern from the other party's words.After thinking about it, Sheng Xi simply said: "Even if I don't ask you, I have to ask someone else. Because," after a slight pause, she immediately shocked Meng Yan, "I also have such a booklet in my hand. .”

Meng Yan raised her head suddenly and looked at Sheng Xi in disbelief: "How could that be?"

Sheng Xi actually wanted to sigh, yes, how could it be?Why does she keep bumping into this booklet one after another?Is it possible that she is really destined to this book?
Knowing that Meng Yan didn't believe it, Sheng Xi took it out of his pocket and took out a book with the same cover as Meng Yan's book.

Meng Yan subconsciously thought that Sheng Xi was deceiving her. However, when she read the contents of Sheng Xi's book under the moonlight, her face changed several colors in the blink of an eye.

"This...this..." Meng Yan didn't know what to say.She had imagined countless scenarios, but none of them were as shocking as the answer Sheng Xi gave her.

"You, how did you get this booklet?" Meng Yan opened her mouth and asked.

Sheng Xi shrugged innocently: "I can say that I just picked it up out of curiosity. Do you believe it?"

Meng Yan: "..." Should she believe this or not?
Her eyes moved, and she slowly controlled her panic.Thinking that if Sheng Xi was really with those people, then she would definitely not treat her injuries, but would take the booklet and leave as soon as possible.

Furthermore, Sheng Xi didn't even know what this booklet was... Although those assigned here didn't necessarily know what the booklet they were looking for was, but somehow, Shengxi was able to make her believe [-]% more .

Now that the matter was over, looking at those bright and sincere eyes, Meng Yan... decided to take a gamble.

"I don't know what this booklet is exactly." She shook her head slightly, "But it is said that it is related to the Quzhou dam burst."

Quzhou Dam?

Sheng Xi felt that the name was familiar, and the next moment she remembered, didn't Hong Sanniang and his wife sell themselves into slavery because the Quzhou dam burst and their home was flooded?
"Evidence of corruption?" Sheng Xi thought divergently.

Meng Yan frowned and said with some uncertainty, "Maybe... the person who gave it to me didn't say this."

It was also because she was in a hurry that she had no time to explain, but the man told her that she must keep this thing safe and hand it over to Duan Changju, the Minister of Punishment, when the time is right.

And the man disappeared the day after he handed the book to her.

She was panicking inside, but before she came into contact with Duan Changju, she heard that Duan Changju had already died. It was said that he was hit by a crazy carriage on the road and died.

She thought it was just an accident, but once she overheard officials discussing Duan Changju's case, she realized that the "accident" was actually not an accident, but a deliberate act.

The moment she heard the news, she knew that she could no longer stay in the palace.The booklet was a reminder, and she could already feel a pair of eyes in the dark staring at her.
