The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Thinking of this, Xie Changshi sighed Youyou: "Does Your Highness know the terrible situation that Your Highness may face if Princess Chu dies?"

He could understand that the reason why His Highness thought it was a good thing that Princess Chu had hanged herself now was because if she had not hanged herself, she would have been imprisoned in prison.

It's okay to have them under their care. If she is handed over, who can guarantee that what will happen to Princess Chu will not happen?
Although His Highness is young, he has seen several times how the escort officers treat exiled prisoners.

Men are fine, just some superficial injuries, but women are different...

If Xinliang had not been the fiefdom of His Highness in the past two years, the escort officers would never have been so honest.

But Princess Chu was obsessed with it before she died. She deliberately placed burned evidence to ridicule His Highness and wanted to use her own death to dig a hole for His Highness.

Xie Changshi stood up suddenly, turned around and looked at the luxurious and graceful Chu Prince's Mansion. He felt cold from the bottom of his heart. He always felt that the Chu Prince's Mansion was a nest of monsters that ate people without spitting out bones. They were trying to kill people with their bloody mouths open. They swallow it all in one gulp!
Sure enough, the elite soldiers who searched the house came back with bad news: "Your Highness, not even a dog survived in the Chu Palace."

What Jiang Kangming didn't say was that the women in the backyard of the Chu Prince's Mansion died in different ways, either by throwing themselves into a well or a lake, or by poisoning, or by hanging themselves.

After the elite soldiers finished their report, Gu Yuzhi's expression became ugly. After a while, he said: "Princess Chu and the others are all bloody."

He waved his hand: "Xie Changshi, please let people give Princess Chu and the others a grand burial."

Even if he dies, the emperor brother will definitely not pursue it any further.

Shu Xiaohan sighed softly and said after a while: "This way, the young prince doesn't have to worry about how to plead with the emperor."

Wen Xiuzhu didn't have any ideas. He just curled his lips and said, "Your Highness is right. It is the best choice for these women to commit suicide."

In order to avoid being sold to the land of fireworks or used as military prostitutes, they can still keep their innocence when they die.

Gu Yuzhi didn't have time to think about the suicides of these women, so he turned around and went to Gu Yufan's study, hoping to find Gu Yufan's secret room.

However, Jiang Kangming pulled Xie Changshi and whispered softly: "Xie Changshi, Princess Chu did this on purpose!"

Xie Changshi's face changed slightly: "What do you mean?"

If these women don't die now, they will die in the future.

Especially Princess Chu, she must have known that she would not be spared the death penalty, and she must have deliberately committed suicide.

But why does this elite soldier look so ugly?

Jiang Kangming looked anxious and said: "I heard from a navy master that this house is full of people who died violently, and there was some curse painted with blood in the backyard."

Xie Changshi said solemnly: "Let's get to the point!"

Jiang Kangming swallowed: "It is said that those who enter this house are cursed and will not have a good death in their lifetime."

Xie Changshi waved his sleeves fiercely: "That's nonsense!"

The purpose of cursing anyone who enters this house is just to curse His Highness, to make His Highness afraid!
Xie Changshi turned around and stared fiercely at Princess Chu's hanging body, snorted coldly: "I'll let you see who died in the end!"

Jiang Kangming frowned and turned to look at Princess Chu. He suppressed the deep worry in his heart and whispered: "Xie Changshi, the news has not spread yet. If it does, I'm afraid Your Highness..."

It will definitely affect His Highness's reputation.

Xie Changshi was stunned for a moment and whispered a few instructions. Jiang Kangming quickly walked out, and he walked towards the study. Naturally nothing was found in the apparent study room, even the drawers that could be opened were opened, and even the most basic books were burned.

Gu Yuzhi was counting the number of bricks in the house using a stupid method. After counting, he found that there was no difference. There were no secret rooms on the side or back of the instruction room.

When Xie Changshi came in, he was beating brick by brick with a wooden stick.

Mr. Huo said that if the secret room is underground and the entrance is on the floor tiles, the sound of the floor tiles will not be loud but will have a hollow feeling.

Gu Yuzhi heard Xie Changshi's footsteps and said without turning his head: "Xie Changshi, come and have a listen. Is this brick possibly the entrance to a secret passage?"

He scratched his head: "I've only heard Mr. Huo talk about this method before, but I haven't practiced it yet."

He chuckled, looking a little embarrassed: "So I feel like this one is similar, and that one is similar too."

Looking at His Highness's fair and tender cheeks even though he had lost a lot of weight, Xie Changshi felt that his bad mood flew away in an instant.

His Royal Highness is the prince, as the master has personally asserted. The emperor’s right-hand man has the emperor’s protection and cannot be entangled in such unwarranted and filthy things as curses!

Xie Changshi took a deep breath and walked in slowly with a smile on his face: "Your Highness has been busy all morning. I have sent people to the city to buy breakfast. Your Highness will go back to the Yamen for dinner first. I’ll come back when I find the evidence.”

Xie Changshi didn't say anything, but Gu Yuzhi didn't feel it yet. As soon as he said it, he felt his stomach growl again.

He hurriedly shook off the stick: "Then I will go back to eat first. Xie Changshi, you should also come back to eat soon."

As he walked, he muttered uneasily: "Anyway, Jiangzhou is now under our control. It doesn't matter if we find this secret room a few days later."

Xie Changshi nodded, escorted Gu Yuzhi to the carriage, and quietly walked onto the street from the back door of the palace.

Gu Yuzhi opened the curtain and took a few glances, but soon felt bored.

There was no one on the street, whether they were sellers or ordinary people. Everyone's doors and windows were closed, for fear that the king's soldiers would rush in and kill them indiscriminately.

Gu Yuzhi and Wen Shu muttered for a while, not realizing that the elite soldiers driving the carriage took him around a few more times before carefully placing him in the backyard of the Yamen.

As soon as Gu Yuzhi entered the Yamen, the carriage started again.

Just like when he came back, the coachman just kicked the horse's legs lightly, and the horse ran softly, giving it a bit of a sneaky feeling.

Gu Yuzhi scratched his head, always feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he simply didn't think about it and happily went in to have breakfast.

As for Xie Changshi, he quickly knocked out all the bricks, and finally found the entrance to the secret room under the soft collapse of the study.

Looking at the darkness below, Xie Changshi raised his eyebrows slightly, and ordered a few torches to be lit. Two elite soldiers protected Xie Changshi all the way down, and it didn't take long for him to reach the place.

There are three secret rooms in total, one of which is filled with various documents, account books, picture albums and other evidence.

The other two rooms, one is filled with jewelry and the other is filled with gold.

The golden light even reflected on the outer wall.

Not to mention the two elite soldiers who were stunned, even Xie Changshi did not expect such an unexpected harvest in this secret room! (End of chapter)
