Chapter 19: The Hunt
Qin Wanse's eyebrows jumped, and she hurriedly squatted down to take a closer look.
The front of the drawer is unremarkable, but there is a keyhole underneath.
I didn't want people to find out that this drawer couldn't be opened, so I deliberately got the keyhole underneath.
It's so secret, there must be a mystery in it.
Qin Wanse pondered for a moment, reached out to remove the hairpin on his head, and fumbled to open the lock.
On previous missions, she had cracked all kinds of high-tech lock cylinders, and this ancient copper lock was just a pediatric for her.
After a while, I heard a soft "click" and the lock opened.
Qin Wanse's eyebrows jumped, and she got up and slowly opened the drawer.
Inside lies a box with a golden vine pattern on a red background, with a simple buckle sealing.
Qin Wanse took out the box and opened it to see that there was a dazzling array of valuable jewelry inside, and if you take it out casually, it is enough for ordinary people to eat for ten years.
After reading it, Qin Wanse didn't rush to put the box back, and reached out and fumbled back and forth in the drawer.
Although this jewelry box is precious, Wei Fang will not bother to create such a drawer, which can be pressed under the cabinet or other places.
This jewelry box may just be a trick to hide the real secret.
My fingers fumbled in it for a long time, but I didn't touch anything.
Qin Wanse couldn't help frowning.
Could it be that this is really just what Wei Fang used to put the jewelry box?
But Qin Wanse always felt that something was wrong.
A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, her breathing was slightly chaotic, and she quickly opened the drawer next to her, and reached in to test it.
Really.
The drawer next to her could put her arm all the way in, and this one was only halfway in.
This drawer has a compartment!
Qin Wanse's eyes lit up with a gleam, and she immediately began to look for a way to open the compartment.
There was no decoration in the whole drawer except for the cylinder.
She had also groped around in it just now, and there was no sign of any surviving mechanism......
Qin Wanse fixed her gaze on the jewelry box, pondered for a moment, and then put it back in the drawer.
There was silence all around, and the moment it was put into the drawer, Qin Wanse clearly heard a slight hollow sound.
With a jump in his eyelids, he picked up the jewelry box, bent his index finger and tapped it at the bottom a few times, and then pressed it down.
With a "boom", the compartment fell.
Qin Wanse was overjoyed, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and took out the contents of the contents.
A thick envelope containing quite a few letters.
took out one from it, and after a cursory look, Qin Wanse's eyebrows were furrowed, and the corner of the envelope was instantly deformed by his fingers.
The letter is just a few words, and the power penetrates the back of the paper.
"The Duke of the Kingdom has been removed, take over the Mansion of the Duke of the Kingdom as soon as possible."
In the lower right corner, there is a single "ink" word.
Qin Guogong did not die of illness, but was killed!
I thought that Wei Fang was just coming to the Guogong Mansion to make some money, but I didn't expect it to kill for money!
On the day she got married, her body was devoured, and the Gu poison on Qin Haoyu's body was ......
Everything is connected into a single line.
It's just that...... Who is this "ink"?
"Mother...... I have something I want to discuss with you. ”
There was a light in the doorway, reflecting the silhouette of a man on the door.
Qian Shuang'er!
Qin Wanse's heart tightened, and she hurriedly stuffed the letter into her arms, closed the drawer, and flashed behind the screen on the side.
Qian Shuang'er at the door didn't wait for Wei Fang to respond for a long time, so she carried the lantern and pushed the door and walked in.
Glancing left and right, he didn't notice anything, and turned to walk to the head of the bed.
Qin Wanse hid behind the screen, and her heartbeat gradually calmed down.
Wait for Qian Shuang'er to leave, and it will not be too late for her to leave slowly.
"Mother?"
Qian Shuang'er hung the lantern aside, thinking that the room was not bright enough, so she lit the candle in front of the bed.
Seeing that Wei Fang had no intention of waking up at all, her eyebrows furrowed, and she let out a displeased "tsk".
Got up to leave, and the hem of her skirt accidentally swept something to the ground.
She paused slightly, glanced at it, saw it as something inconspicuous, reached for the lantern, turned and walked out the door.
The footsteps slowly walked away, and Qin Wanse exhaled lightly and walked out from behind the screen.
Walking to the door, he glanced back at the direction of Wei Fang's bedside, and secretly screamed "not good" in his heart.
Fang Cai's incense has not been dealt with yet, Qian Shuang'er is just at the bedside, and she may have found it.
Then she just left, in fact, on purpose......
As soon as my mind fell, the lights suddenly brightened outside!
"Fence me off, don't let a fly go!"
"Yes!"
The footsteps were hurried, spreading out in all directions.
The main entrance was blocked, although she had martial arts, but the shoulder injury had not healed, and the other party was overwhelming, and it was unlikely that she would escape 100%.
Without hesitation, he stepped back and broke out of the window!
Outside, there were a few servants with red martial energy and torches in their hands.
The sudden change made several people stunned in place immediately, and was solved by Qin Wanse neatly.
"Assassin! The Assassin has fled this way! ”
Someone shouted, and Qian Shuang'er, who was standing in the front yard, stepped on the ground, and her slender figure flew into the air.
In the darkness of the night, the orange light on her body shone like a fire, chasing towards the source of the sound like a meteor.
"Wow...... Miss Cousin is really amazing. ”
"As a woman, you can have orange martial arts at such an age, and your future is limitless."
"It's just a year older than the eldest lady, the gap is not ordinary, the eldest lady is this age, and there is no martial arts at all, but if there is a little martial spirit, the Guogong Mansion will not be stepped on under the feet......"
"Shhhhhhhhhh
The man's mouth didn't stop, and he muttered in a low voice, "Miss Cousin let her, and the flower hall didn't fight back after being slapped by her, if she fought back, I'm afraid she would be crippled now......"
Indeed it is.
The gap between each martial arts class is worlds apart.
One step higher is crushing, not to mention that Qin Wanse has no martial energy, Qian Shuang'er is two steps higher than her.
Qin Wanse was dressed in night clothes and shuttled wantonly in the dark.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of an orange light behind him, his heart sank, and he turned around and ran towards the back mountain.
"Where to run!"
