Farming game: raise cubs with equipment

Chapter 867 Evidence
After a period of recuperation, Chen Ci's health is no longer serious.

He came to the study, intending to say goodbye to Yan Qinghe, but just as he stretched out his hand to knock on the door, the door was already opened.

He looked up, and Su Ming made a gesture of invitation: "My lord has been waiting for you for a long time."

Chen Ciming's eyes showed a bit of surprise, as if he didn't expect Yan Qinghe to be so punctual as expected.

He stepped up and walked inward, bowed his head and said, "My lord, I'm about to go to Chen's residence to find evidence."

After being informed by Yan Qinghe, Chen Ci thought carefully that there was a secret passage in the Chen residence, and there should not be many people who knew about it. If his father wanted to hide evidence, he might hide it here.

Yan Qinghe was not surprised that he would go to the Chen Mansion. After all, he had previously revealed that he was hidden by his mother in a secret passage. He thought about it, and stood up: "I'll go and see with you."

"My lord, I'll go too!" Su Ming said hastily.

Yan Qinghe nodded, and said to Chen Ci: "Then let's go."

Although Chen Ci was a little surprised that Yan Qinghe would follow, he was in a hurry to confirm whether the evidence was there, and he had no intention of knowing about such trivial matters.

Chen Ci walked the road to Chen's Mansion countless times, before going there with a kind of deep nostalgia and grief, but this time, his pace was rare and brisk.

If the evidence is really in the house, then he can use this evidence to rehabilitate his father. Although he can't save the whole family, he can at least clear his father's name.

His father was clean and honest before his death, and he would never let his father go underground with this stigma.

Seeing that the Chen Mansion was getting closer, Chen Ci's heart beat faster and faster.

Just when he was about to go forward, Su Ming pulled him over and covered his mouth: "Don't talk, there are people in the room."

Chen Ci patted his hand, expressing that he knew.

Su Ming just let go.

Chen Ci exhaled lightly, he was almost smothered to death by this stupid Su Ming.

He turned his head and saw Yan Qinghe looking at the house with a calm expression. He followed his gaze and saw a group of officers and soldiers rummaging around in the house.

After a while, the officers and soldiers who went to the inner courtyard reported to a person from the outer courtyard: "Master Zhao, there is nothing inside."

Su Ming whispered: "My lord, that person is Zhao Ling, the head of the Criminal Department."

Yan Qinghe frowned, what are the people from the Ministry of Punishment doing here?
Zhao Ling looked at the officers and soldiers beside him, and asked, "What about you?"

"Report, sir, there is none here."

"Let's go!" Zhao Ling looked around, saw the officers and soldiers who had found nothing ran out, and ordered.

After all the officers and soldiers had to leave, Su Ming came out: "Why are there still officers and soldiers coming?"

Chen Ci didn't have a good impression of the officers and soldiers, a trace of disgust flashed across his expression, and when he saw them, he remembered what had happened to his family.

"It looks like I'm here to find something." Yan Qinghe stepped into the threshold.

Su Ming guessed: "My lord, they didn't come here to find evidence, did they?"

"It's possible, but I probably haven't found it." Yan Qinghe thought for a while, as long as he inquired about the news carefully, it was not impossible to find it.

Chen Ci was leading the way, and when he heard this, he frowned and said, "If this is the case, then we have to find it sooner than they do."

Su Ming nodded in agreement: "Do you know where the evidence is hidden?"

Chen Ci pushed aside the scattered curtains and walked towards the inside of the study.

"I don't know if it's here, it's just a guess."

Su Ming followed Yan Qinghe, looking around from time to time in order to react in time to any situation.

Chen Ci walked to a row of bookshelves, took out the last book in the third row, and inside it was a turning button, and he turned it to the right.

With a "squeak", the bookshelves on both sides suddenly moved from both sides.

"This is the Chamber of Secrets..."

Chen Ci glanced at Yan Qinghe, and walked in first.

"My lord, I'll go ahead, and you follow me down." Su Minghu stood in front of Yan Qinghe, cautiously looking at the deep steps in front of him.

They have never been to this place, and they don't know if it is safe or not. He walked ahead, so he could explore the way anyway.

The secret road has not been opened for a long time, and there is an unpleasant smell.

Chen Ci took out the fire folder and lit the lamp beside the stone steps.

There was a thick layer of spider webs on the wall, and it looked like it hadn't been here for a long time.

With the light on, the surrounding environment became much clearer. Chen Ci patted on his clothes: "The last time I came here, there wasn't so much dust here."

Seeing his sad expression, Su Ming quickly changed the subject: "Where do you think this evidence will be hidden?"

Chen Ci took a few steps forward: "The secret passage is just a passage dug just in case, I don't know if there is a place to hide it, and I didn't find anything special back then."

The yellow light shone on the wall, and Yan Qinghe could see the surrounding roads clearly. Just like what Chen Ci said, there was only one road opened here. Looking at the traces of its construction, it was still somewhat sloppy, and it must have been built hastily.

It is really difficult to hide things, unless you bury things directly in the ground.

But such an important thing is obviously not treated casually like this.

When Chen Ci turned the secret path upside down, Yan Qinghe finally said, "Perhaps the evidence is not hidden here. Since your father can think of keeping a hand, it means that this thing is very important and cannot be taken out easily." To show people, if he is placed in the mansion, he may be found, I guess, he will be placed in a place that no one else would expect."

He paused: "Maybe, only you know this place."

Chen Ci's expression froze, and he repeated in a murmur: "A place that only I know?"

Suddenly, his eyes flashed: "Isn't that..."

Su Ming was so exhausted digging the soil just now that he was out of breath, and quickly wiped off his sweat. Seeing his pensive look, he said, "But what did you think of?"

"I see! It must be there!"

Chen Ci turned around and looked at Yan Qinghe with piercing eyes: "If the place that no one else knows is the place where I lived, since Steward Zhao didn't confess me, maybe the evidence is also with me. "

Yan Qinghe glanced at him: "That's reasonable, it's not too late, we'd better leave quickly, if those people are really here for the evidence, then we must get it before they do."

Chen Ci nodded.

Under the leadership of Chen Ci, Su Ming and Yan Qinghe walked out of the secret path.

Half an hour later, the three arrived at Yuxi Valley.

"Wow, this place is nice, with beautiful mountains and clear waters." Su Ming exclaimed, the green mountains and green waters, the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, it is a beautiful scenery.

Chen Ci explained: "My mother chose it specially for me. She followed the advice of the Taoist priest and chose a very remote place in order to avoid disaster."

Chen's mother specially hired a mentor for him. Since the death of the husband, he has lived here alone.

Originally, there were maids and servants, but after the accident in Chen's house, he dismissed these people.

One is that he does not have so much money to support, and the other is that he is no longer a child and does not need others to take care of him.

"That Taoist is very foresight." Yan Qinghe commented pertinently.

Chen Ci gave a wry smile, this is, unintentionally, saved him from this disaster.

Just as the Taoist said, if he can even survive this catastrophe, what else can trouble him in the future.

He has lost the most precious thing, and the one who has nothing is the most fearless.

"My lord, where do you think you will hide?" Su Ming observed the surrounding things, not aware of the atmosphere between the two at all.

Yan Qinghe looked around for a week, thinking: "If it were me, I would definitely hide this thing in the least noticeable place. Maybe you will see it every day, but you will never notice it."

Su Ming scratched his head, this kind of mental work has never been his turn.

He looked at Chen Ci: "Is there the place that the adults mentioned?"

Chen Ci glanced around casually, was about to shake his head, but paused when his eyes moved to the well next to the wooden house.

"Father, why can't there be water in this well?"

"Let me take a look, hey, why is this well dry?"

"Then what should we do?"

"Then how about this... the next time Dad comes over, let someone fill you with water!"

"Yes, yes, thank you, dad!"

Chen Ci's eyes were in a daze, and that scene appeared in front of him again.

The little boy pestered his father to ask questions, and his father took the trouble to explain.

This well, after all, did not wait for my father to fill it with water.

"Mr. Chen? What are you thinking?" Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, Su Ming couldn't help but pushed his shoulder.

Chen Ci withdrew his gaze, and said slowly, "Oh, I was wondering if the evidence is in this well."

Su Ming looked at him suspiciously: "No way, who would put the evidence in the well, it would be ruined."

"This is a dry well."

Chen Ci sighed, and walked towards the well.

Yan Qinghe and Su Ming glanced at it, then walked over.

Walking to the edge of the well, Yan Qinghe leaned down.

"This well is very deep, and it is indeed a dry well."

Su Ming opened his eyes slightly: "Just looking at the outside, who would have thought that this is a dry well."

"I'll find a rope to go down and have a look." Chen Ci said.

Yan Qinghe nodded.

Chen Ci quickly brought a bundle of long ropes, tied one end around his waist, and handed the other end to Su Ming: "I'll go down and have a look, if you pull the rope three times, you will pull me up."

Su Ming said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord and I will definitely pull you up safely."

"Be careful when you go down." Yan Qinghe solemnly instructed.

Chen Ci nodded, pulled the rope around his waist, and after making sure that it would not be easily torn off, he slowly moved down the side of the well.

Su Ming and Yan Qinghe firmly grasped one end of the rope, and slowly lowered the rope.

I don't know how long it lasted, when Chen Ci's voice came from the well: "Master, I'm here."

Yan Qinghe and the two stopped putting the rope, and Su Ming wondered: "My lord, is there really any evidence hidden in this well?"

"We'll know if there are any after a while." Yan Qinghe said lightly.

As soon as the words fell, Yan Qinghe felt three vibrations from the tightly clenched rope.

At the same time, Chen Ci's voice of surprise came slowly.

"My lord, I found it! Here is the evidence!"

Yan Qinghe glanced at Su Ming, and ordered: "Quickly pull Chen Ci up!"
