There were more than two dozen stout men, and they dug for a few hours.

After digging seven or eight meters of dirt under the green bricks, I saw a corner of the staircase and a small door closed tightly.

Qinglianzi put the hoe up, looked at the top, and then looked at the stairs that had collapsed in the dirt, and said, "There was originally a door here, but the entrance should have been destroyed, so it was all buried." ”

Because of this, the people on it couldn't find the mechanism when they knocked around, let alone heard the hollow sound, so they gave up exploring.

However, it is also true that most people place secret rooms in the study bedroom or in an unnoticed place.

Who will set up a secret room here for banquets and people coming and going?

What if a curious guest comes here and there to take a look and turns the mechanism on?

Gu Xinyue held Yuan Zisu's hand, climbed down from the side, looked left and right, and said, "Open that door." ”

"You go up first, I'll drive."

Qinglianzi put her hand on her buttocks, and pushed her up, and when the people above picked her up, and then let the others go up as well, she climbed up a little.

They dug it all the way down in the direction pointed out by Gu Xinyue, and the hole they dug out was not wide, and when they got to the bottom, they could only stand two people.

Covering his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, Qinglianzi stood in a place where the hidden weapon couldn't shoot, and hit it hard with the hoe in his hand.

No toxic smoke, no hidden weapons.

As soon as the hoe struck, the door creaked open.

Qinglianzi waited for a long time, and when she saw that there was no movement, she jumped down, pushed the door open, and then looked inside.

Shrinking back, Qinglianzi waited for a long time to confirm that there was no danger inside, and then raised his head and called.

Gu Xinyue jumped down with a torch.

Qinglianzi took the torch and let her follow behind her, and walked inside.

The door should be open to the inside, but the outside is sealed with mud, and the door can't be opened if you want to.

Behind the door, there is a stone-paved passage, which is not long, and it takes a few meters to reach the end.

As soon as you get out of the passage, there is a space of more than fifty square meters.

It is made of stone on all sides, with a large desk in the middle and a few chairs next to it, and a few wooden shelves scattered around it.

In front of the large desk, a man sat on the chair.

Originally, the appearance was still lifelike, but as soon as the wind blew outside, it directly decomposed in front of the eyes of the two of them and became a dried corpse.

Qinglianzi pulled Gu Xinyue behind her, trying to cover up the somewhat terrifying scene.

Gu Xinyue poked her head out from behind him and said, "Master Qing, who do you think, who is this person?" ”

There was no fear at all.

Qinglianzi was silent for a moment and said, "You stay for me, don't move!" ”

Gu Xinyue raised her hands, looking very well-behaved.

Rao is this place is weird, Qinglianzi didn't feel that she was made to laugh, shook her head, and stepped forward to check if there were any mechanisms and poisons.

After a round of visits, he nodded to Gu Xinyue.

Gu Xinyue immediately rushed to the side of the dry corpse.

She had already noticed that on the desk in front of the corpse, there was a stack of written papers.

The fresh wind came in from outside, and the corpse immediately weathered, but the paper was still only yellow, not weathered and broken, and the handwriting on it was still clear.

"Don't move!" Qinglianzi screamed, pulled Gu Xinyue, who was about to go to get those papers, lowered her head slightly and sniffed, and said in a low voice: "You can't touch it, it's poisonous." ”

Gu Xinyue was shocked for a moment and said, "Could it be that this person was poisoned?" ”

Qinglianzi looked back at the dried corpse, took a closer look, and then glanced at the hand of the dried corpse hanging down, and said, "No, this person swallowed gold and died." ”

Gu Xinyue turned around and glanced at the dried corpse.

Well, seeing that people are directly weathered, the scene is indeed a little terrifying, and she subconsciously didn't look at the truth of this guy.

Now that I look at it, although this person has dried up and his skin and flesh have begun to rot, it can still be seen that he is a good-looking man in his thirties.

Moreover, he also wore a necklace made of white jade beads around his neck.

When Gu Xinyue turned around, she suddenly turned her head again.

As the fresh wind came in, not only the corpse was weathered, but so were the clothes he was wearing.

In Gu Xinyue's eyes, the clothes were scattered, and the head under the necklace was gradually revealed.

The necklace hung straight down to the corpse's abdomen, and at the end of it, two jade jue hung down.

and Gu Lao Taijun's dowry-like Yujue.

Gu Xinyue's heart suddenly jumped.

Subconsciously, I reached for it.

As soon as his hand was raised, he was held down by Qinglianzi again.

Glaring at Gu Xinyue, who came back to her senses and stuck out her tongue, Qinglianzi sighed lightly and shook her head, didn't know where to take out a silver needle, poked it on the corpse, and then carefully picked up the jade jue and probed it for a long time, then took the jade jue off and put it in Gu Xinyue's hand.

"There's no poison on him or this." Qinglianzi glanced at the corpse and said.

When Gu Xinyue showed the jade jue to Du Zhong, he also saw it, and he could see at a glance that this thing was what Gu Xinyue was looking for.

Unexpectedly, it was not in the Jianghuai Marquis Mansion, but here!

Gu Xinyue held Yu Jue in her hand, suppressed the momentary excitement in her heart, turned her head and carefully looked at the pieces of paper and said, "This should be a letter below, Master Qing, can we read it?" ”

Qinglianzi nodded and said, "Just don't touch it, you read it first, and when you're done, I'll help you turn it." ”

The poison on this is colorless and tasteless, and ordinary people can't detect it at all.

Moreover, the entrance above is already so tightly blocked, if it can be dug down, the people who come down will be in a hurry.

There are no other traps here, and the first thing I think will be the same as Gu Xinyue, is to pick up these letters and check them.

Then poisoning.

This person's scheming is meticulous and ruthless enough.

"This person should be the youngest brother of the former Jianghuai Marquis." Gu Xinyue glanced at the letter, then looked back at the corpse, and said.

The handwriting on the first page of the paper is clear and handsome, and the pen is calm, a few lines, writing: I Jiang Guang, the twenty-third grandson of the Jiang family, the ancestor of the Jiang family, can farm and engage in business, not allowed to participate in the change of the court, the great-grandfather was forced to helplessly, welcomed the Chu army across the river, but abided by the group training, did not enter the court, although the father was unwilling, but also abided by the ancestral teachings, did not dare to interfere in the government, only the eldest brother was ambitious, after his father went to collude with others, wanted to do the unrighteous way, my brothers could not resist each other, defeated and killed, all the doors were destroyed, I was incompetent, only to do the last strength, Keep the secret of your ancestors and protect them with death.

"The way of injustice." Qinglianzi sneered and said, "It's as if you are righteous." ”

Gu Xinyue glanced back at him unconsciously.

Qinglianzi said lightly: "The Jiang family is in Songjiang Mansion, and they have done a lot of unrighteous things, and besides, what was the idea of the old Jianghuai Marquis marrying his daughter to the Duke of Dingguo?" This Jianghuai Marquis Mansion has been rampant and domineering in Songjiang Mansion for decades, even the government has to listen to them, hum! ”

Gu Xinyue smiled and said, "Come, let's take a look below." ”

Looking at her appearance of completely agreeing with her own statement, Qinglianzi raised her eyebrows, she was in a good mood, and picked the first page with a silver needle.
