The prostitute is fierce: the vicious queen does not accept joy

Su Yueming breathed a sigh of relief, her heartbeat just now was so fast that she couldn't control it at all.

I don't know if it's because of the fear after escaping from death, or because of the sudden approach.

Su Yueming's eyes flickered, and then she continued to search. This time, she didn't wait long. After walking around, she suddenly pointed to a place in the corner and exclaimed——

"Look, there's a hole here."

After hearing this, the old lady hurried over on crutches, and Liu Shi and Su Ying supported her tightly.

Everyone also walked over in the direction of Su Yueming's finger, and stretched out their heads to see, sure enough, there was a cave the size of a bowl on the ground.

Su Yueming was puzzled and said——

"This location is the room that San Yiniang prepared for me in Yiluoyuan. It was fine before, and there is nothing unusual. There is not even a mouse hole. How can there be a hole?"

Su Buqing pondered for a moment, then ordered: "Come on, dig this hole a little bigger and see if there is anything in it."

"Yes." The two servants immediately brought the iron catalpa and dug the hole they found even bigger.

"Go down and have a look." Su Buqing ordered again.

One of the family members, Ding Qiuhu, dropped the iron catalpa, jumped into the cave, poked his head, and looked down.

Everyone stood outside and waited with bated breath. Su Yueming glanced at the eldest lady, who always maintained that calm and even expectant expression on her face.

Why on earth can she be so calm?

"How?" Su Yueming asked loudly from above.

"Master, Third Miss, this is a tunnel." Qiu Hu's voice came from under the tunnel.

"Tunnel?" The old lady listened, her face was full of solemnity, her brows were tightened, and she said, "This Xiangfu was awarded by the emperor to the meritorious old Linggong. How can there be a tunnel underground in Yiluo Garden?"

Everyone approached the entrance of the cave full of doubts, and sure enough, the entrance of the cave seemed endless.

"Qiu Hu, come up." Su Yueming shouted again, and after a while Qiu Hu climbed up, his body covered in dirty yellow mud.

Su Buqing asked, "How about the tunnel?"

"My lord, it can accommodate about one person." Qiu Hu replied, flicking the dirt on his body, "In addition, I found a dead mouse that had been burned by fire at the entrance of the cave, and it was already scorched."

He put a mouse that had been burned like charcoal in the palm of his hand, and presented it in front of everyone.

Su Yueming approached, smelled it with his nose, and said, "This mouse also smells of oil. It seems that oil was poured on this mouse before it died."

"Is it poured with oil?" Su Buqing also took a sniff, and it really had a choking smell of oil, which was similar to the smell in the flower pond just now.

There was oil in the pool, and oil on the rats. This matter became more and more ingenious, and it also more and more indicated that the fire in Yiluo Garden was deliberately caused by someone.

Murong Canghai rubbed the dirt on Qiu Hu's clothes with his fingers, and put it between his fingers——

"There is an inexplicable tunnel under the Yiluo Garden. The king looked at it and found that the mud on Qiu Hu's body was new mud. From this, it can be concluded that the tunnel did not exist when the house was built, but was just dug. If you want to know the truth, this tunnel is the key, and this mouse is probably the direct murderer of the arson."

Su Yueming followed what Murong Canghai said——

"What the King of the North Court said is reasonable, to find the real culprit, I'm afraid we have to look at where the other end of the tunnel leads.
