Chapter 295
Early the next morning, they acted as if they were in a panic about losing their money, and after asking the shop waiter, they went to the mayor's mansion to report to the official.

As they expected, the mayor's mansion was indeed the mansion they followed last night. These people were full of righteous indignation and talked about their anger and pain.

The mayor's name was Shi Yingrui, and he was born with an honest face, and at the moment he also empathized and said: "I will follow a few strong men to investigate for a while, don't worry, this happened in my jurisdiction I'm going to investigate and find out the truth!"

The leader laughed secretly in his heart, did the truth come to light?He thinks it's a thief calling "stop thief!"
But even if this is the case, he has to do a full set of acting. He pretended to be very scared: "Mayor, you are such a good person. Our brothers are going out for the first time, but we are very scared. Can you send some more people?" Together, to tell you the truth, this is the first time our brothers have encountered such a thing, and we really don’t know what to do.”

He pretended to be frightened and stupid, and Shi Yingrui relaxed his vigilance. Thinking about it, just a few people can't make big waves. His reputation in Chunlai Town has always been very good, even if it's for the sake of reputation, he It is necessary to send more talents.

So Shi Yingrui readily agreed, brought a few more people, and escorted these counselors back to the inn to investigate the case.

Taking advantage of the emptiness in the mayor's mansion, the people who lived in the other inns were led by one of the people who had been there yesterday, and sneaked into the mayor's mansion.

Even if there are guards in the mayor's mansion, there are not too many of them, more people are lurking in the dark, but they have to go out to be mice at night, and sleep in the mansion during the day, only those who take turns to rest will be there. Guards in the mansion.

But just these few people, how can they compare to the confidants specially selected by Gu Qingyan?So as expected, they sneaked into the room where the mice and Shi Yingrui were talking last night very smoothly.

The house was locked, and some of these experts were good at picking the lock, so they opened the heavy lock in two or three strokes, but after sending a few people in, they asked the outsiders to lock the door again, so that no one would find anything abnormal.

The rest of the people were staring outside the door, so that they could deal with any emergencies in time.

The few people who entered the house looked around, but it was just an ordinary study room, and there was nothing unusual about it.But they believed that their brother's judgment was absolutely correct, so they groped around to see if there might be secret passages or something according to their habits.

After searching for a full quarter of an hour, none of them found anything. One of them was so tired that he leaned against the bookshelf and complained, "Where is this secret passage?"

But before the words were finished, there was a creaking sound from the bookshelf, followed by a small sound unique to the mechanism, and several people became alert, for fear that there was some hidden weapon.

After the bookshelf was moved, a dark secret passage appeared in front of everyone.

This is really planting flowers on purpose but not blooming, but planting willows and willows unintentionally to make shade.Everyone cheered up, greeted the people outside, and then walked into the secret passage.

The secret passage is very dry, and there is no dust, not even a musty smell, presumably it is so clean because people often walk around.

A group of people took out a fire pocket and lit it, and the dim light of the fire illuminated it. It was just a downward staircase surrounded by tightly-fitting walls, which didn't look like there was any mechanism.

To put it bluntly, this place is just an inconspicuous and secret place, even if there is a mechanism, it probably won't be too delicate.

Several people walked down, but they saw two forked roads. After discussing, they decided to divide the troops into two roads.

The few people who chose the road on the left walked for a short time before the road came to an end, and there was a locked gate at the end.

The lock on the outside of the study was very difficult to open, but the ordinary lock was used in the secret passage, perhaps thinking that no one would discover the secret of the secret passage, so he used an ordinary lock.Although a few of them were not as good as the lockpicker, they couldn't be troubled by ordinary locks.

But when they opened the door, they were still taken aback.

This is a warehouse, all eyes are full of glittering gold bars and jewelry, just like a dragon's treasure house, so shiny that people can't move their eyes away.

After half an hour, the people leading to the left returned from the secret passage, and then assembled with the people outside.

It turns out that the secret passage on the left is connected to the treasury full of gold and silver treasures, and the people who went to the road on the right have not returned yet.

But the ear-splitting ones had already heard the noise outside, and it seemed that Shi Jierui was coming back, so they could only retreat temporarily and go to the inn to discuss countermeasures.

But only a moment after they returned to the inn, those people came back again, looking sweaty and dusty.The leader asked them to take a sip of water first, and then asked them what happened.

It turns out that the secret passage on the right leads to the road to Shangyun Mountain.The road was particularly long, and after coming out, the few people worried that they would run into Shi Jierui when they returned from the secret passage, so they performed light kung fu and rushed all the way back, which wasted the time.

Let's go back to Beijing.

Here Yang Fengxian only cares about dealing with the ladies and gentlemen of the capital, while the evidence for Gu Qingyan over there is almost ready.

Pei Xiaoyao has not been idle these days. He has dabbled in teahouses, brothels, gambling houses, and restaurants in the capital, so the sources of news are many and mixed. At least he would even go to brothels.

And some officials' dude sons would go to brothels and gambling houses. The information obtained in this way is the most accurate, because no one would be wary of a soft-spoken girl in a brothel.

These days, Gu Qinghui was banned by the emperor in the Prince's Mansion because of his involvement in rebellion. He was not allowed to go out, so he could only send people to recruit his staff into his mansion.

What's more, in the prince's mansion, Gu Qingyan also installed his own people, so he was very clear about these movements.He sent someone to secretly obtain a lot of evidence from the Prince's Mansion, but Gu Qinghui didn't notice it at all.

Now that Gu Qinghui was afraid of the emperor's suspicion and fear, he did not dare to act rashly, coupled with his desperation, he had loosened his control over his own mansion, so how could he feel that something was missing.

After preparing everything, Gu Qingyan preemptively said in the hall in the early morning: "Father, my son and minister have their own performance."

Emperor Gu Qinming coughed heavily, his body became weaker and weaker, and he finally stopped coughing before he said weakly: "Say."

Gu Qingyan knelt down on one knee, his face was full of disbelief and hatred, mixed with regret, and looked very vivid: "The case that the emperor handed over to my son a few days ago has some clues."

"The origin of the matter is that the bandits suppressed private soldiers, iron mines, and a large number of well-made weapons. My minister sent people to seize those weapons, and now the opponent is outside the hall."
