After breakfast, Xue Shi's voice came from outside the door, "Master, Xue Qi is back!" ”

"Let him go directly to the dry well to see, and report if he finds anything, no need to say goodbye!" Xue Jincheng said.

Xue Qi, who rushed back to the Hou Mansion in the dust, went directly to the dry well, and the high court, which had not slept all night, finally had some results.

"The subordinates have searched all the inside and outside of the Hou Mansion, except for the guest courtyard, there is no problem with the other courtyards." Gao Ting said with a pair of reddened eyes.

"Guesthouse?" Xue Jincheng thought for a moment, "What's the problem?" ”

Gao Ting paused and said, "In the westernmost courtyard of the guest courtyard, there is a dry well under the northwest corner wall, which is not much different from the well behind Zijin Garden. ”

The westernmost yard? That is the courtyard where Zongzheng Bai Yi lives now.

"The guest house has been cleaned, and no one has noticed it before?" Mu Zi asked.

"Madame's forgiveness, my subordinates haven't asked in detail, and the girl in the guest house has already taken care of her." Gao Ting whispered.

Mu Zi nodded, "Then let's go to the first trial, if it's okay, let it go!" ”

Mu Zi didn't have hope for this, and it was estimated that he wouldn't be able to judge anything.

Gao Ting clenched his fists, hesitated, and said, "The subordinates also found a matter in this search, but it has nothing to do with the dry well, I don't know if I should talk about it or not......

"Say it! What's up? Mu Zi asked.

"When the subordinates searched the guest house, they found more than a dozen sets of tea utensils used by the Hou Mansion to entertain guests under the bed of Master Xue Jiu, as well as dozens of small ornaments and other ......" Gao Ting was a little embarrassed.

Mu Zi was speechless, looking at Xue Jincheng, obviously not wanting to make any comments on this matter.

Xue Jincheng smiled lightly and waved his hand to Gao Ting, "Don't pay attention to him." If he is interested, it doesn't hurt to give these things to him, if he is not greedy enough, then don't even think about taking away any of the things that belong to the Hou Mansion! ”

Soon Gao Ting retreated, and Mu Zi said to Xue Jincheng, "Sister Yuan'er's first birthday banquet has also passed, and the people of Changning Xue Mansion are not happy." ”

"This is natural, the Hou Mansion eats well and dresses well, and there are people to serve you, isn't it a pleasure? What, you want to pick up someone? Xue Jincheng smiled.

"Seeing their fake appearance, I feel uncomfortable. Especially, they looked at Sister Yuan and me, as if our mother had robbed them of something that belonged to them! Mu Zi snorted coldly.

"Who made you pregnant? In this way, my father will not agree to the matter of stepchildren, but you are blocking other people's financial paths! Xue Jincheng quipped.

Mu Zi rolled her eyes indecently.

The couple was chatting about topics that were not nutritious to cultivate their feelings, and over there Xue Qi groped around the bottom of the well, and I don't know where he came across, and suddenly, the hollow stone wall cracked from the middle, revealing a narrow passage.

Gao Ting was already dumbfounded, "There really is a secret passage!" ”

Xue Qi probed into the secret passage to check and make sure that there were no other organs, so he said to Gao Ting, "Send someone to investigate, see where it leads, and be vigilant!" I'll go to the guest house to have a look. ”

Gao Ting hurriedly nodded yes, ordered five guards with good skills, and took the lead into the secret passage.

With the previous experience, the dry well in the guest house was quickly found by Xue Qi, revealing a slit that was the same.

Let people continue to go in to investigate, and Xue Qi went to Zijin Yuan to report the current progress.

"A long and narrow passage? Don't have a mechanism inside? Sounds like an escape! Xue Jincheng's fingers tapped rhythmically on the table.
