Chapter 170: Confrontation

At the point of view, a small depression appeared on the otherwise smooth bookshelf. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This is......

The nail-sized dent doesn't look very conspicuous on the bookshelf, and if it weren't for the silence and undisturbed surroundings, it might have been overlooked.

Mu Changhong tried to puppet the thing he had just touched again, and found that the small depression rose up again, and it was tightly embedded with the surrounding planks, looking just a smooth plank.

Lin Qingran also discovered the abnormality on Mu Changhong's side, and seeing that he was listening to something, Lin Qingran stopped the movement in his hand.

The surroundings fell completely silent, and Mu Changhong moved the trigger mechanism again, and heard some well-concealed sounds.

Holding one hand still, Mu Changhong touched the depression with his free hand.

After trying it, he found that he couldn't continue to press down, so Mu Changhong tried to push it forward.

Sure enough, there was a reaction this time!

The heavy bookcase suddenly sank downward, revealing a half-human-high tunnel.

It was dark in the dark passage, Lin Qingran took out the fire fold in his bag and walked inside.

The faint light of the fire fold illuminated the surroundings a little, so that the two of them could at least see what was in the dark passage.

This secret passage should extend diagonally to the ground, but the height of half a person is really uncomfortable for two people who are not low in height, and I don't know how the tall Canglan would think of the half-human height secret passage!

Not long after walking along the dark passage, the bookshelf behind him slowly rose again, blocking the entrance.

The light source in the dark tunnel was only the fire fold in Lin Qingran's hand.

"Don't worry, it's not that the mechanism is involved, but it's designed this way, so don't worry about the lack of ventilation ports." Seeing Lin Qingran's worries, Mu Changhong said.

"Hmm." Lin Qingran nodded and continued to walk inside.

The dark passage was not long, and the two of them did not walk for long before they reached the end.

It was a simple room, and it looked very damp.

There weren't many furnishings in the room, just a Dobao grid and a few locked wooden chests.

Lin Qingran didn't hesitate, he directly packed all the wooden boxes and put them in his backpack, and turned his head to see Mu Changhong hugging a bunch of painting scrolls in the corner.

"These paintings?" Lin Qingran looked at Mu Changhong suspiciously.

"I've seen a few of them, and they're basically masterpieces, even if there is no valuable information in them, they can't be cheap and he!" Mu Changhong handed the painting to Lin Qingran.

After Lin Qingran threw the scroll into his backpack, he made a circle in the secret room, and after confirming that there was nothing missing, he left here with Mu Changhong.

After wasting a while of hard work and finding the mechanism to open the exit in the dark tunnel, the two of them returned to the study smoothly.

After all, this is someone else's territory, and it is impossible to know what is hidden in the picture scroll and the locked alley, so the two of them once again took advantage of the patrol to leave the general's mansion, and then found an inn nearby to live in.

After putting on the deadbolt, the two of them sat down at the table, looking at the pile of things that had just been cleaned up.

Ye Chang'an has already surrounded the General's Mansion, but after all, it is not justified, if they can find the most important evidence from these things now, Canglan's crime will not be able to escape!

Without further ado, the two of them went their separate ways, one unlocking the other and dismantling the painting, and in a short time a large amount of garbage had been created around the table.

But they're not doing useless work either.

For example, Mu Changhong took out the account book, and Lin Qingran found an authentic painting that was said to be treasured in the palace treasury.

Tut! If she remembers correctly, this painting seems to have been paid tribute, but now it has appeared in Canglan's secret room for no apparent reason.

The sin of deceitful king, the sin of stealing?

Lin Qingran couldn't figure it out, but no matter which one it was, it was a slap in the face for King Ning, and Chang'an was also happy to watch the excitement at night.

Boxes were opened one after another, but nothing too convincing or valuable was opened, all strange things were locked here.

After opening the penultimate box all the time, Mu Changhong encountered a little problem.

This lock is a bit harder than the others, and it looks like there's something important in it.

The fact that Mu Changhong used a silver needle to open more than a dozen locks made Lin Qingran a little stunned.

What else would this man not do?

Lin Qingran thought depressedly.

After a little more effort, the penultimate chest was opened.

The inside of the box is not a rare treasure or anything like that, but an ordinary little book, but it looks very well preserved.

Lin Qingran took out the notebook, and then opened it to look at it.

At first glance, I don't have a clue, it should be a small means such as encryption.

Seeing Lin Qingran's entangled face, Mu Changhong took the notebook and looked at it for a while.

This is a kind of cipher translation, which can be translated as long as you know the meaning of the cipher.

It's just that this kind of password is not very common, so Lin Qingran can't understand what it means.

Mu Changhong flipped through the book, and then said, "This is a ...... Well, a book that records the connection and events between Canglan and a mysterious person is similar to a ledger. The specific content uses the Tagilo password, so it's normal that you can't understand it. ”

"Is there enough evidence now?" Lin Qingran asked.

"Enough. I opened the last box, and then we went to find Ye Chang'an. Mu Changhong said.

In order to cooperate with their actions, Ye Chang'an has sent troops to besiege the General's Mansion, and now that such a long time has passed, probably the situation may not be too good.

After all, he has resigned as the regent, although his prestige and achievements are higher than Canglan's, but after all, he has already handed over the power, so whether he can hold it in this situation, although there is no doubt, it must be difficult.

After all, Canglan has always looked at Ye Chang'an unpleasantly, how could he let it go when he had an opportunity to suppress him?

As Mu Changhong expected, the situation in front of the General's Mansion was indeed a little tense.

The soldiers of the General's Mansion have also been dispatched, standing at the gate to confront Ye Chang'an.

"Isn't it good for the prince to do this?" Cang Lan's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Lord Cang should know why this king is here today!" The pretense of peace between the two has long been torn off, so there is no need to maintain any apparent peace!

"This ...... Cang really doesn't know! Please also ask the prince to solve someone's doubts! As he spoke, Canglan arched his hand.

"It seems that the general dares to do it, but he doesn't dare to be it? This is really not in line with your character! Ye Chang'an still sat on the horse and said.
