Abandoned concubine auspicious

Chapter 442 Thinking Too Far
Li Jiong frowned and looked at her for a while, then turned around and told Gu Hai, "Go, change a pair of shoes for her!"

Qin Zhi'er was stunned. If she changed a pair of shoes, wouldn't she be shorter?
She protested, "No, I won't change my shoes, these shoes are fine, why do I have to change them?"

Li Jiong said: "If you don't change, you are not allowed to go!"

"Why?"

Li Jiong said with a sullen face: "The king's men and horses are all elites, and no one will fall into the mud for no reason."

Qin Zhier: "..."

Gu Hai suppressed a smile and quickly borrowed a pair of shoes from nowhere, handed them to Qin Zhi'er, and said in a low voice: "Princess, you should put them on, our lord is heartbroken that you keep falling on your face, afraid of you On the wedding day, if you fall so badly and lose the prince's face, that would be bad!"

Qin Zhi'er gritted her teeth and took the shoes from him, went inside the building to change them, gritted her teeth and rolled up the long trouser legs, tucked the skirt around her waist, and then walked out.

Li Jiong looked at Qin Zhi'er who was shorter, with her trouser legs rolled up and her skirt tied around her waist. She was dressed as a farmer who went into the field to plant rice seedlings, and smiled with the corners of her mouth, "Very well, let's go."

Gu Hai walked past her with a serious face.

Xiao Hei also walked on her left side with a serious face, comforting her in a low voice, "Princess, you are well dressed, don't be angry."

Qin Zhi'er had no choice but to say, "Xiao Hei, you can laugh if you want to, your shoulders twitch from laughing, what's the point?"

Only then did Xiao Hei rush to the side, crouched in the corner and silently shrugged his shoulders.

Shang Pharmacy is only 80 meters away from Julu Terrace, and it is only a short walk away. It is only a few houses away, and it took a while to get there.

Shang Pharmacy is just a courtyard with three entrances. The warehouse for storing herbs in the middle is huge, like a medium-sized Chinese medicine room. Most of the herbs in this Shang Pharmacy are allocated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. One is prepared, and the other is prepared for the emperor to become a fairy in the future to refine the elixir.

The outside of the pharmacy was already heavily guarded, and when Mu Shan saw several people coming, she hurried forward to salute and report, "My lord, that subordinate has been waiting here for two hours, and the three of them haven't come out yet."

Li Jiong nodded, and walked in, Qin Zhier followed, Gu Hai and Mu Shan followed suit.

The servants of Shang Pharmacy have been emptied, and the whole yard is empty. When I came to the warehouse, the tall medicine cabinets were neatly arranged, and there was a smell of medicine in the warehouse.

Qin Zhi'er was secretly surprised. Judging from the names of the medicines written on the medicine cabinet, all the medicines in it were worth a thousand gold.

It seems that the emperor really regarded becoming an immortal as the most important thing in his life. If it wasn't for the virtuous empress dowager, he really didn't know how much it would cost people and money.

The dark guards had already searched the room, but they didn't see any dark room.

Gu Hai went forward to report to Li Jiong, "My lord, our people have checked the inside and outside of this house, and there is no trace of any mechanism."

Li Jiong knew that Gu Hai had some masters with hidden weapons, if he said there were none, then he really didn't have any.

He frowned and gave an order, "Set it on fire and see if they can't get out!"

Gu Hai was taken aback, "My lord, the herbs here..."

Li Jiong snorted, "The medicinal materials, there will be some in the future."

Gu Hai understood, Li Jiong was worried that he couldn't find an excuse to destroy these medicinal materials, didn't he just find an excuse?
He was about to take orders to go, but when he turned around, he found that someone seemed to have disappeared, and said to Li Jiong, "My lord, where is Princess Pingle?"

Li Jiong's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly turned around to check, but he didn't see Qin Zhier's figure, so he was anxious, took a few steps, and called, "Zhier?"

Qin Zhi'er's voice came muffled, "I'm here."

Li Jiong hurriedly patrolled and saw Qin Zhi'er lying on the ground, crawling forward inch by inch.

"What are you doing?" Li Jiong shouted.

Qin Zhi'er put her finger between her lips and hissed, "Shut up."

Qin Zhi'er lay on the ground with her hands and feet tightly fitting, with half of her face pressed against the floor, carefully observing the marks on the floor, different light cast on the ground, and through different eyesight, those marks would be exposed.

Since these three people disappeared in this house, there must be traces.

The direction of the wind, changes in the dust, and the prints of the palms on the floor are all things that can be searched.

It is a pity that in ancient times there were no modern means of detection, and those traces could only be ignored.

Seeing that Li Jiong was watching from the side, Gu Hai didn't seem to want to stop him, so he stepped forward and said, "My lord, you'd better persuade Princess Pingle, it doesn't seem good for her to be like this..."

Li Jiong snorted, "Go, stand guard at the door, don't let anyone in."

Gu Hai bowed his head silently, resigned himself to his fate and went to guard the door. The prince is not married yet. If he is married and has a child, the princess will crawl on the ground with a few children... What's more, the prince will still be there. Looking at the side with a kind face...

Gu Hai shook his head, reminding himself that he was thinking too far.

He resigned himself to guarding the door.

Li Jiong looked at Qin Zhi'er who was crawling in the distance with complicated eyes. After so much, he gradually realized her origin, which might be unusual.

Qin Zhi'er suddenly fell silent, turned her face sideways, carefully looked at the corner, and waved to Li Jiong, Li Jiong also walked over, squatted down, and looked in the direction her finger was pointing at.

Of course he couldn't find anything.

Qin Zhi'er could see clearly that the floor there had been wiped extremely smooth, with obvious traces of finger prints.

If you just look at it normally, you can't see it, but from this angle, you can see it very clearly.

Qin Zhi'er pointed to the floor and said, "That place should be the entrance and exit."

Li Jiong frowned, "How can I get in?"

Qin Zhi'er went there and checked carefully, starting from the bottom of the medicine cabinet, pulled out the medicine cabinet at the bottom, and saw that the bottom of the drawer was different.

She smiled slightly.

Wang Dingqiao was walking back and forth anxiously in the darkroom. Someone slapped his back, and he still feels the pain unbearably.

It never occurred to him that he just came to Shang Pharmacy to get some medicine as a routine, but he was followed by the people sent by the Ninth Prince, and the three of them were forced to the dark room.

Since the last time, he partnered with others to do business and exchanged those jades for fake ones. After no one noticed at all, he became more and more courageous. All the things in Julutai, as long as they pass through his hands , He dared to think of ways to shoddy.

But just like that, he was targeted by people, and he had to obey those people's instructions and let him build a pharmacy in the building, and built a dark room under it.

Logically speaking, this is a huge project, and no one can hide it from the higher-ups, but those people are very powerful, and I don’t know what method they used to buy off many construction supervisors of Julutai. A darkroom was built under here.

Since then, Wang Dingqiao has been working for them wholeheartedly.

His mother, Princess Chen Liuchang is not as good as before, and his father has become like that again. He has always been used to being extravagant, how can he endure hardships?

As long as he has money, he is willing to do anything.

The darkroom was built extremely delicately, and the craftsman who designed it said that no one could open it.

What's more, this dark room is equipped with an organ of master Zhijizi, which is connected to the outside through copper coins, and the sound from outside can be heard.

At this time, he heard the voice of his concubine Qin Zhi'er.

She stood at the entrance of that square brick and said, "Here is the entrance..."

He was taken aback, looked at the other two, and said, "Didn't you say it's hard to find this entrance?"

Those two people, one of whom participated in the construction of this dark room, nodded and said: "Young Master, please rest assured that no one will be able to open this entrance."

The other also said: "Yes, young master, if a person enters, the switch for the entrance is inside, and if he wants to go out, he has to open it from the inside."

Wang Dingqiao felt relieved.

His younger sister is indeed a smart one. His mother has been frustrated repeatedly under her hands. He heard from her mother that she once replaced her brother to go to the Yamen to run an errand, but this dark room is used by those people in a way that he has never seen before. It was designed by the method, how could she open it?

He felt at ease, put his ear on the copper receiver, and listened.

Outside, Qin Zhier looked at the round copper receiver at the medicine cabinet on the bottom floor, and she saw something similar to a bug again, but it was made in the most primitive way, and the sound transmitted Not too far either.

The copper coins extended from the bottom of the medicine cabinet to the ground.

Looking at the floor again, there is no sound at all when it is knocked. It is thought to be made of extremely thick materials, and the bottom is opened with something like a thousand-gold roof.

Li Jiong stepped forward and said in a low voice: "How about it, can you open it?"

Qin Zhier shook her head.

Li Jiong thought for a while, then called Gu Hai in, and said, "You ask someone to check to see if there are any vents."

Gu Hai went to order someone to look for the vents.

With the exit that Qin Zhi'er found out, the vent was much easier to check. It turned out that the vent was built into the sandwich wall.

Gu Hai stepped forward and said, "My lord, do you want to smoke him out?"

If you put some smoke into the vent, it can really smoke all the people in the dark room out.

Li Jiong was hesitating.

Qin Zhi'er stepped forward and said: "No, if you use smoke to smoke and destroy the medicine in the room, it will be bad."

If the medicine that could cure Qin Ziqin was really hidden inside, then if Wang Dingqiao went crazy inside after such a smoke, it would be troublesome.

Li Jiong said, "What can you do?"

Qin Zhi'er said: "Let me step forward to persuade him, maybe I will persuade him out."

Gu Hai couldn't help it anymore, "Princess, if he was persuaded to come out so easily, the subordinates would not be helpless here. According to the subordinates, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, it is better to smoke them out directly."

Li Jiong stared at him coldly.

Gu Hai breathed weakly, "Then let the princess try?"

Gu Hai silently retreated to the side... Whatever Qin Zhier says is good, my lord, what is your principle?
