"Take this and let them bring their tools. Wei Qian took out a token and handed it to her.

"Good!" she handed him the lantern, took the token, and sped away.

Wei Qian paused and continued to dig, and after a while, he took out another piece of flesh and blood, which seemed to have only been put in for a short time.

"Lord Chen, what do you think is going on?" Wei Qian handed the bone to him.

Chen Changshou was frightened and took two steps back, if it weren't for Wei Qianyan's quick pull, he would have almost fallen.

"This ...... Here......" Chen Changshou leaned against the wall, his body trembled slightly, and he couldn't say a complete sentence.

If the key was stolen that year, then why did this fresh corpse end up in the rat hole behind the iron door?

Wei Qian carefully observed the bone by light, stained with blood and flesh, and died within a few months, the fracture was relatively neat, it should have been sawn open......

Who is the deceased?

Who is the murderer?

Wei Qian couldn't judge the identity of the deceased for the time being, but he had already circled the scope of the murderer in his heart.

This person must be able to enter and leave the Hun Tian Prison freely, and there is a hidden place for the corpse here, and the most suspicious person is undoubtedly the Lord Chen in front of him, as well as the two adjutants, as well as the Calculation Bureau, the Test Bureau, and the Omit Carving Bureau under the jurisdiction of the Hun Tian Prison.

After a while, Cui Ning used Wei Qian's token to transfer more than 20 people from the Supervision Department.

"Dig it open. Wei Qian said.

Chen Changshou came back to his senses and said again and again, "No, no! This is a grave digger." ”

Si Tianjian has always done his own thing, and no one can stop him unless the emperor orders that he is not allowed to dig up.

As soon as Wei Qian gave the order, the messenger rolled up his sleeves and began to plan.

The stone wall was so hard that the iron struck it and sparkled on it. But the walls didn't move.

"Pry along here. Wei Qian said.

Several men took iron rods and began to pry from the rat's nest, and soon a two-foot-wide hole was opened.

It turned out that this observatory was not a solid stone, and the stone wall was full of dirt, but after digging a foot, no broken corpses were found.

"My lord, are you still digging?" asked the officer.

Wei Qian said to Cui Ning, "You are watching here, I'll go look elsewhere." ”

"Good. Cui Ning said.

The iron door is airtight. If the iron door has been locked for ten years. So Wei Qian guessed that if the key wasn't always there, it was that this observatory had a secret passage and a secret room.

"Let's take a break. Try not to make a sound. Cui Ning said.

It was very costly to pry the stone wall, and everyone sat on the stone platform to rest when they heard the words.

It was quiet in the corridor, and Cui Ning could clearly hear the sound of breathing one after another, in addition to that. Nothing else.

After being silent for a while, Cui Ning heard the sound of Si Xisuo again. She leaned against the wall to distinguish it, and the sound was far and near, and she couldn't make out where it was.

After discerning the direction for a while, a thought crossed her mind. Suddenly frightened - if these sounds were distributed in all corners of this stargazing platform, wouldn't it be that the entire interior of the platform was a world of snakes, rats, insects and ants? Listening to the dense sounds, she couldn't help but feel numb when she thought about the situation inside.

Time to take a break for a cup of tea. The officer asked, "Master Cui." Do you want to keep digging?"

Cui Ning was stunned for a moment, it was the first time someone called her "Master Cui" so solemnly, it sounded ...... Isn't that good?

"Don't dig it, wait here for Lord Wei to come back. Cui Ning expected that if he wanted to dig down so cluelessly, he might not be able to dig up anything, and with the broken bone with flesh and blood that he had already dug up, there was a reason to conduct a comprehensive search of this stargazing tower.

She looked at Chen Changshou, "Lord Chen, do you have any drawings for the Stargazing Tower?"

Chen Changshou didn't seem to come back to his senses yet, and he slowed down for a while before saying, "During the time of Taizong, there was a fire in the Hun Tianjian, and the drawings burned down at that time, but there should be one in the Ministry of Industry." ”

"Do you know the structure of this stargazing tower, is there a secret room and secret passage inside?" Cui Ning asked.

Chen Changshou shook his head, "How could there be, if there is really a secret room and secret passage, Si Yanling's death is not strange." ”

"That's right. Cui Ning squatted on the stone steps and tilted his head to look at him, "Then do you think it is possible that there was an unknown secret passage left behind when it was first built?"

She never knew that there was such a thing as a secret passage in her own school.

"This ...... I can't tell......" Chen Changshou said.

"Don't you stand, you're so tired and flustered, come and squat for a while, right?" Cui Ning said with a smile.

Everyone in the corridor was sitting, squatting, squatting, and squatting, but Chen Changshou stood alone in the middle of the stairs, and he didn't dare to lean against the wall.

Chen Changshou hesitated for a moment, and squatted next to Cui Ning with his official robe.

It was the time of the autumn tiger outside, but it was very cold in the corridor, and the wind passed through it, all with a cold smell, the lanterns swayed, and the light flickered and flickered.

It was terrifyingly quiet, and everyone else heard the rustling sound coming from nowhere.

Cui Ning broke the silence and continued to ask Chen Changshou, "What kind of person is Si Yanling?"

If Si Yan is flexible now, he should be about the same age as Chen Changshou, and maybe even a few years younger, Chen Changshou has been serving in the Heavenly Prison, it is impossible not to know.

"He...... The people of Chang'an call him Yu Linglang, and he is very handsome, just like Lord Wei. He is very mysterious and rarely comes out during the day, and I have only met him a few times. Si Yanling was born very white, and the strange thing is that even his hair is white, and his eyes are not as black as ordinary people, but gray-brown, wearing a scarlet official uniform, and the whole person looks like a snowdrift and a jade carving. ”

Chen Changshou fell into a long memory.

At that time, before Si Yanling arrived in Chang'an, Man Chang'an already knew his reputation.

The title of "Yu Linglang" began with the first prophecy of his Ren Hun Tianling, and flourished in the second prophecy.

When he said that "there is an epidemic in Chang'an", there were still many people who were skeptical, so he told the specific location and took someone to find it in person. At that time, many people had seen him, and if ordinary people were born so unique, they would definitely be regarded as different, but he was different, he was an all-incomprehensible commander, and his handsomeness, mystery, and peculiarity made him a legend overnight.

That time, Chen Changshou didn't see with his own eyes what kind of demeanor it was, what impressed him the most was the situation when Si Yanling said the second prophecy.

In the middle of the night, Si Yanling ordered all the officials of the Hun Tianjian to ascend to the stargazing platform.

When they arrived, he was standing on this stargazing platform, not wearing an official uniform, but wearing a plain white robe, with his long snow-white hair half-tucked behind him, and in front of him was the sky covered with stars.

When everyone arrived, Si Yanling turned around, his slender eyebrows furrowed, his eyes full of grief, and he said the second prophecy since he was appointed to the Heavenly Order.

Maybe at that time, even if this disaster was unavoidable, so he was dressed in plain clothes early in the morning!

The Yangtze River burst its banks, and thousands of people died in that disaster, and not long after that, Si Yanling died quietly alone in the corridor of the stargazing platform.

Some people say that Si Yanling will be retributioned only if he leaks the heavenly opportunity, and this "heavenly opportunity" does not refer to the flood of the Yangtze River, but to his third prophecy.

When Chen Changshou slowly finished talking about this past, Wei Qian had already returned.

Cui Ning stood up and said, "I heard voices everywhere, so I asked them not to dig for the time being, what if they didn't dig and destroyed the place where Si Yanling died?"

Ten years have passed, and there are not many traces left here, but Cui Ning said about the voice, he believed her judgment, and said, "Let's go back first." ”

The officers left in unison.

Wei Qian, Chen Changshou, and Cui Ning walked at the end, and he asked, "After I go out, I ask Lord Chen to arrange for me to be on duty for the past four months." ”

"Good. Chen Changshou responded.

Most of the yamen have night watches, and this is especially true in places like Hun Tianjian that require stargazing every night.

"Usually except for the people on night duty, who else in the Heavenly Prison will stay here at night?" Wei Qian asked.

"And the living. Chen Changshou paused for a moment and added, "They are only allowed to stay until the time of the child." ”

The disciples of the Hun Tian Prison lived in the courtyard in the corner of the Hun Tian Prison, which was closed before the hour, and the officials on duty checked the number of people, but even there was no guarantee that they were all obedient.

Wei Qian said, "Has there been a shortage of people in the Heavenly Prison recently?"

Chen Changshou said, "This has to ask the person on duty." ”

"This key is in my custody for the time being. Master Chen has no opinion, right?" Wei Qian spread out his palms, and there were two keys to the Yongdao in his hands, and he didn't know when he got them in his hands.

"Lord Wei, please take care of yourself. Chen Changshou said politely.

It is counted that Chen Changshou is a fifth-grade official, one level higher than Wei Qian, but the Supervision Department is the saint's henchman, and the Hun Tianjian is the most undesirable yamen of the saint, and the difference between the two is nothing. (To be continued)
