Rebirth of the Abandoned Concubine: The Poison Goddess Doctor

Chapter 220 In the trap, shudder
When Old Madam Qi saw this underground entrance, her eyes froze. She didn't know when the passage was built here.

The people in the second room all showed panic at this time, and wanted to say something to cover it up, but found that they had nothing to say.

"Grandmother, wait a moment, I'll go down and have a look." Qi Changjin said.

"No, I'll go down in person!" Grandma Qi said, she wanted to see what the second room had built under her nose! "Zhou Shi, Changsheng, you go ahead!"

Both of them refused to take them down, Qi Changsheng said: "Grandmother, there is nothing to see below, it's just an ordinary secret room!"

Old Madam Qi hit him with a cane: "I'll let you lead the way!"

Qi Changsheng was in pain, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, but seeing that Mrs. Qi seemed to want to give him another blow, he could only take a step away and hurried to the underground entrance.

Qi Changjin supported Old Matriarch Qi, and walked down behind him and the Qi Zhou family, while Madam Xun waited on top, in case the second room's people went mad and shut them up to death.

Two rows of smokeless lamps are lit on the walls on both sides of the passage, and a night pearl is inlaid on the top of the head, illuminating the inside brightly.

After walking in for a while, the passage was divided into two sides. They walked to the right first, and at the end was a warehouse with many rare jade objects on the shelves.

"I just hide some favorite treasures here. I've said it all. This is really an ordinary secret room." Qi Changsheng said.

Qi Changjin scanned around and found a hole behind a vase, which looked like a keyhole.

He looked carefully at the keyhole, then suddenly reached out and took a piece of golden crescent moon that Qi Changsheng hung around his waist all the year round.

"Give it back to me!" Qi Changsheng was startled and angry, and wanted to snatch it back.

Qi Changjin easily swung him away, inserted the golden crescent into the keyhole, and the wall immediately opened back with a click, revealing a gap for one person to enter and exit.

Qi Changsheng's face immediately became extremely ugly.

Behind the wall is a large warehouse, full of tin boxes.

Qi Changjin opened one, and there were neatly stacked silver ingots inside, the silver light made people squint their eyes.

He opened a few more boxes, all of which contained ingots without exception, and one even contained gold ingots.

Old Madam Qi was short of breath, pointing at Qi Changsheng and Qi Zhoushi: "You, you!" She was so out of breath that she couldn't speak.

Not to mention where these dozens of boxes of huge sums of money came from, the imperial court has strict control over gold and silver. It may not be difficult for a large family to take out hundreds of thousands of silver bills, but it is almost impossible to take out tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver. Impossible.

There are so many boxes of gold and silver ingots, at least a few million taels. If they are shaken out, it will be a disaster in prison at a small scale, and even be convicted of treason if it is serious!

The only thing she can be thankful for now is that the people who came down are all members of the Qi family, and no outsiders have seen them.

Qi Changsheng and Qi Zhou's were as silent as cicadas, not daring to say a word, with the stolen goods in front of them, any sophistry would be useless.

"Chang Jin, give me the key!" Mrs. Qi confiscated the golden crescent.

Qi Changsheng couldn't help shouting: "This is mine, grandma, you can't take it away!"

Mrs. Qi threw an ingot on him, and said sharply: "Your? Do you think that if you remove the official seal, I won't be able to recognize it as official silver?! If I don't want to hurt the entire Qi family, I will I'll turn you over to the Yamen!"

Qi Changsheng had a heartache and unwillingness on his face, his eyes were fixed on that golden crescent, wishing he could snatch it back.

The Qi Zhou family was not reconciled, but they could only comfort their son and put the key in the old man's place temporarily, and try to get it back later!

"Let's go back!" Grand Madam Qi said, she couldn't breathe well while staying here, she felt as if officers and soldiers would rush in the next moment, intending to ransack the Duke Qi's house and kill her.

They returned along the same road, and soon returned to the intersection, taking the road to the left.

There are several empty secret rooms here, and when they walked to the innermost one, as soon as the stone door opened, a man in gray came out, pointing a sharp sword at the old matriarch.

Qi Changjin stood in front of the old matriarch and kicked him away. The man did not hide or dodge, his ribs were broken with a click, and the sharp sword stabbed persistently.

After several rounds of fighting, Qi Changjin slapped the man to the corner, spit out a big mouthful of blood, and passed out.

Qi Changjin cautiously stepped into the secret room, his expression changed instantly: "Yingchu!"

Yingchu's hands were tied to the iron rings on the wall, his head was tilted to one side, and he didn't respond to his shouts at all.

Qi Changjin went over to check her breath, and found that she was just unconscious, and the heart that was about to jump out of her throat fell back to the original place.He quickly put Yingchu down and hugged her tightly in his arms, his hands trembling uncontrollably.

Mrs. Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief, stared at Qi Changsheng coldly, and shouted angrily: "Qi Changsheng, you are so courageous!"

"I was wronged!" Qi Changsheng was a little confused, "It's none of my business, I didn't know Hua Yingchu was here!"

He turned his head to look at Qi Zhou Shi, Qi Zhou Shi also had a shocked expression on his face, obviously he didn't know.

"Grandmother, let's go up first." Qi Changjin hugged Yingchu across his arms and hurried out.

When they got to the ground, Li Cangze and Mrs. Xun who were waiting in the room suddenly stood up.

Li Cangze finally managed not to change his face, and stared at Yingchu who was being held by Qi Changjin in disbelief, and then saw his confidant eunuch being dragged out like a dead dog.

After asking the ins and outs, Mrs. Xun said angrily: "Qi Changsheng! How dare you kidnap Hua and accuse her of colluding with spies? Do you have any conscience?!"

"It wasn't me, I never did it! I didn't even know she was here, someone must have framed me!" Qi Changsheng yelled.

However, no matter how much he complained, no one would believe him.

After Li Cangze was frightened and angry, he quickly thought about it, did Qi Changsheng catch them by chance?Or is everything Hua Ying Chu's plan?He hoped it was the former, if it was the latter, it meant that Hua Yingchu had expected that he would rob her early in the morning, and had already set up a trap for him to fall into!

Thinking of this, he felt shuddering!He had no idea how Hua Yingchu was going to deal with him!
However, his luck was quickly broken, and the government soldiers searched the man in gray and found a beige silk cloth.

Qi Changjin recognized it at a glance: "It's a military map!"

Old Madam Qi looked as if she wished to kill Qi Changsheng, hide official money, frame her sister-in-law, and hide spies. His death three times is not enough to atone for his sins!
At this time, a nanny came over and told: "Old Madam, the emperor is here!"

It is normal for the emperor to be alarmed by the fact that the spies stole the military map and made such a big fuss, and no one was surprised.

Old Madam Qi's eyelids couldn't help but twitch. She has been frank and honest for most of her life and has a clear conscience. She stepped into the coffin with one foot, but felt guilty for a while. She dare not go to see the emperor now. up.
