Chapter 330 3
Su Yueming sighed lightly, her heartbeat just now was so fast that she couldn't control it at all.
I don't know if it's because of the fear after escaping death, or because of the sudden approach.
Su Yueming's eyes flickered for a moment, and then continued to search, this time she didn't wait long, after walking around, she suddenly pointed to a place in the corner, and exclaimed-
"Look, there's a hole in here."
When the old lady heard this, she hurriedly walked over on crutches, and Liu and Su Ying supported her tightly.
Everyone also walked over in the direction of Su Yueming's finger, stretched out their heads to see, and sure enough, there was a cave with a big bowl mouth on the ground.
Su Yueming was puzzled and said-
"This location is the room that the third aunt prepared for me in Yiluo Garden, it was good before, there was nothing abnormal, there was not even a mouse hole, how could there be a hole?"
Su Buqing pondered for a moment and ordered: "Come on, dig this hole bigger and see if there is anything in it." ”
"Yes." The two housekeepers immediately brought in an iron catalpa and dug the hole they found even bigger.
"Let's go down and have a look." Su Buqing ordered again.
One of the householders, Qiu Hu, dropped the iron catalpa, jumped into the hole, poked his head out, and looked down.
Everyone stood outside with bated breath, Su Yueming glanced at the eldest lady, and her face always maintained that calm and even somewhat expectant expression.
Why is she so calm?
"How?" Su Yueming asked in a loud voice.
"Master, Third Miss, this turned out to be a tunnel." Qiu Hu's voice came from under the tunnel.
"Tunnels?" When the old lady heard this, her face was full of solemnity, her brows tightened, and she said, "This Prime Minister's Mansion was awarded by the emperor to the meritorious old Linggong, how can there be a tunnel under Yiluo Garden?" ”
Everyone approached the entrance of the cave with full doubts, and sure enough, there was a feeling that there was no end in sight to the entrance of the cave.
"Qiu Hu, come up." Su Yueming shouted again, and after a while, Qiu Hu climbed up, covered in dirty yellow mud.
Su Buqing asked, "What about the tunnel?" ”
"Master, it can accommodate about one person." Qiu Hu replied, flicking the dirt off his body, "In addition, I also found a dead rat that had been burned by fire at the entrance of the cave, which had been scorched. ”
He placed a mouse that had been burned to black charcoal in the palm of his hand and presented it to everyone.
Su Yueming approached, sniffed it with his nose, and said, "This mouse also smells of oil, it seems that this mouse was doused with oil before it died." ”
"Oiled?" Su Buqing also sniffed, and there was really a choking smell of oil, which was similar to the smell in the flower pond.
There is oil in the pool, and there is also oil on the rats, which is becoming more and more ingenious, and it is more and more indicative that the fire in Yiluo Garden was deliberately caused.
Murong Canghai's fingers twisted the soil on Qiu Hu's clothes and put it between his fingers.
"There is an inexplicable tunnel under this Yiluo Garden, this king looked at it, the mud on Qiu Hu's body is new mud, so it can be concluded that this tunnel is not at the beginning of the construction of the house, but just dug not long ago, to know the truth, this tunnel is the key, and this rat, I am afraid is the direct murderer of arson."
Su Yueming followed Murong Canghai's words and said-
"What the king of the North Courtyard said is reasonable, if you want to find the real culprit, I'm afraid you have to see where the other end of the tunnel leads.
