Jiang Chengjia held his breath. Qianshan stood in front of her, always vigilant.

There was a sound of soft footsteps beside the stone pillar.

"Mr. Duan, is there really nothing wrong with this plan?" A woman's beautiful voice rang out.

Jiang Chengjia was surprised.

Immediately after, she heard Mr. Duan say, "Your Royal Highness, don't worry. The two lords are sure to protect the princess. ”

Her Royal Highness the Princess?

Jiang Chengjia's heart trembled fiercely, could it be that the woman who appeared in the dark room at this moment was the kidnapped Scarlet Jade Princess?

"Then thank you Mr. Duan for your plan!" The woman's voice of thanks rang out.

Mr. Duan hurriedly said, "The princess must not worship me." If two years ago, when I encountered horse thieves on the frontier, the princess had not helped... I'm afraid that Duan will not have the opportunity to return to his hometown and reunite with his mother today. The plan of the princess and the king of Cham coincides with the two lords... Duan is just a little subtotal... Help the princess to repay the kindness of the year. ”

The woman chuckled and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Duan to remember the events of the year so clearly. ”

The man was silent for a long time and said, "How can I not remember clearly, if it weren't for the Great Wei Emperor, I wouldn't have been able to break up my wife... Now such a great opportunity, it is natural for him to feel that his wife is often separated. ”

"Princess, please hurry up and get out of here with the people arranged by the grass people. If it was a step late, Song Zong would have discovered that this matter was inappropriate. Then, Mr. Duan urged the woman to leave.

There was a short, hurried sound of footsteps that seemed to leave the other door, after a soft squeak of the door closing.

The entire darkroom fell into a dead silence.

Jiang Chengjia poked out a pair of eyes, looked around the dim inner room, and only after confirming that it was empty did he dare to pull Qian Shan to poke forward carefully.

Qian Shan was a little puzzled and said, "Girl... Why don't the guards patrol the dark room? The entrance to the dark room is on the stone steps. And we found it all the way from the green wall... They should have gone down the stone steps? ”

Jiang Chengjia found a shelter and carefully observed the dark room. Seeing that there were other stone steps on both sides of the right, connected to several tightly closed wooden doors, he deduced, "Xu is... There are not only passages in the blue brick walls that lead to this house, but also other secret passages... The wooden plank on the left side of the blue-brick corridor may be implicated in a certain entrance, and no matter which tunnel someone breaks into, the hanging wooden plank is a warning. ”

Qian Shan sighed, "How can there be such an ingenious mechanism in the mortal world? ”

Jiang Chengjia said: "There are people outside the sky, and there are immortals outside the immortals, how can you determine... Mortals must be stupider than immortals? Don't forget, the so-called gods in this world have only evolved from mundane spiritual beings. ”

Qian Shan felt reasonable, so she nodded and said, "What the girl said is true." ”

"Be careful, I can't tell... Right now, there are people watching this place in the dark. We didn't figure out the situation... I don't know where else there is an ambush here. Perhaps every move has already been discovered by them. ”

Jiang Chengjia reminded Qian Shan not to take it lightly, and groped towards this huge stone chamber from the side of the stone steps. The candlelight hanging on the wall, the light of the fire in it has gradually faded. In fact, it can only illuminate the stone walls on both sides of the darkroom, but it cannot cover everything in the entire darkroom. This had to make Jiang Chengjia worry about whether there was anyone hiding in the dark like them and observing everything in the dark room.

In the dim light, they gradually saw the furnishings in the dark room.

In front of me, there seems to be a row of cabinets neatly arranged, on which many case files are piled up.

Jiang Chengjia groped around, picked up the nearest bamboo book, and looked at it twice through the faint light reflected by the wall.

This look shocked her.

The dossier actually records the details of the internal government of officials large and small... And it's all dirty things that don't see people. Changsha

Seeing Jiang Chengjia's expression change drastically, Qian Shan said a little strangely in her heart: "What's wrong with the girl?" All of a sudden, your face became so bad? ”

Jiang Chengjia's face condensed and said, "Qianshan... Maybe... We were all wrong. ”

Qian Shan was stunned and said, "What do you mean, girl?" ”

Jiang Chengjia said slowly: "Maybe... There are scholars behind this matter, not just to make huge profits from it... I also want to take advantage of these abducted women and children... Take control of the Great Wei court. ”

Qian Shan exclaimed, "What do you mean... The reason why Song Zong joined forces with the Shi clan behind the back of King Huai... It is to take those who have been abducted... Cultivated as a spy, and then entered the mansions of officials of all sizes to lurk...? ”

"I'm afraid so..."Jiang Chengjia nodded and said, "They forced the women of the good family to do this, nothing more than to capture their parents in their hands, so that these girls have no way to retreat, and can only be at their orders." You see... On this volume... The records are all ugly things about the handles of officials of all sizes in Yangzhou. ”

She handed the volume in her hand to Qianshan, and then reached out to pick up the other volumes and read them one by one.

She flipped through several volumes on the entire cabinet shelf, all of which recorded the ugly things about these places and court officials.

Because of this, she finally decided on her own idea.

Jiang Chengjia's mood at the moment was like a stormy sea that could not be calm for a long time, and he fell silent for a while, thinking about the conversation between Princess Scarlet Jade and that Mr. Duan, and there was always a faint sense of unease.

"Girl... When we go out from here, we must go to the capital as soon as possible to repair the book and inform the son. Qian Shan followed behind her and checked the files one by one, and the shock at the moment was no less than that of Jiang Chengjia.

"I need to tell my brother to prepare early. I'm afraid... Fu Bo and Ma Yue had already moved their minds that they shouldn't have moved. They ordered Song Zong to kidnap the Scarlet Jade Princess who came to Great Wei and kissed... I am afraid that the motive is not pure, and it is to cause a dispute between the two countries. ”

"You mean... Fu Bo and Ma Yue want to be opposed? Qianshan was even more shocked.

"It's very likely." Jiang Chengjia nodded and said, "I guess the woman who talked to Mr. Duan just now is the scarlet jade princess who was robbed in the pro-embassy. Princess Scarlet Jade was robbed on the way to kiss, and the person who hijacked her was an official of the Great Wei... This is enough for the Cham state to attack the Great Wei under this reason.... Princess Champa disappeared on the border of the Great Wei, which is enough for the King of Cham to say that the Great Wei did not want to repair the good relations between the Qin and Jin Dynasties of the two countries, and deliberately kidnapped the Scarlet Jade Princess in order to provoke trouble between the two countries. ”

"It's just... When Song Zong hijacked... It shouldn't be stupid enough to hide it, right? Qian Shan questioned, "How can they conclude that the person who kidnapped must be an official of Great Wei?" ”

"Didn't you hear what Mr. Fang just said?" Jiang Chengjia asked rhetorically, "This is clearly everything he planned with the Scarlet Jade Princess and the King of Champa... Since it's planned... Then Song Zong is the culprit in this matter. Princess Crimson and King Cham must have prepared evidence for him to take the blame. ”

"Once the war breaks out... Fu Bo and Ma Yue grasped the handle of the big families and official clans, and completely controlled the power of the Great Wei Dynasty... At that time, even Ning Zheng may not be able to resist the momentum of these two people... Then the world will be in turmoil. Moreover... Since they dare to kidnap Princess Crimson at this time... Perhaps, there are enough troops to rebel..."

Jiang Chengjia said intermittently, his face becoming more and more serious.

Qian Shan said in fear: "If that's the case... What should we do? ”

Jiang Chengjia made up his mind: "I'm afraid that now... Ready to go... With our strength alone, I am afraid that we can only fight with them to the death. Today's plan can only make Ning Zheng aware of the misdeeds of these two people. Although Ning Zheng is greedy for power... But after all, he is still a member of the Ning royal family... It is impossible to watch the imperial power fall into the hands of other nobles. If we can find evidence and persuade Ning Zheng to join forces with Emperor Wei... can make Fu and Ma give up..."

Qian Shan looked at the dense dossiers in this dark room, and said worriedly: "It's just that these volumes... The two of us can't take it with us, and... Even if it is taken away, the contents of the scroll alone may not be able to convince Emperor Wei and King Huai that the Fu family and the Ma family, who have always been hidden from the edge, actually did something to hold the imperial court hostage. ”

Jiang Chengjia pondered for a moment and said, "... I'm afraid for so many years... Fu Bo and Ma Yue not only got the ugly handle that could control the major official families from Song Zong's secret deal, but also made a lot of money from it. Since they have already started to rebel, they will inevitably recruit troops and buy horses to raise their troops, so that they can one day confront the Great Wei army. In this world, the supreme imperial throne will always be the object of the world's pursuit and fighting, even if the blood is flowing like a river.

However, they will destroy the evidence of the rebellion, but they will not be able to destroy the evidence of recruitment. All soldiers and horses are things that Emperor Wei is always vigilant about, if there is no family of scholars to dredge up relations in it, I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to accumulate troops with strong financial resources. In addition to the royal family, any nobleman who used trade routes to buy and sell soldiers and horses was recorded in documents. But only with the help of documents can the purchased soldiers and horses be mobilized. In order to balance with the Fu clan and the Ma clan, the scholars used their own names to buy soldiers and horses... will also leave a document record, once the East Window incident occurs, you can rely on the document to escape the responsibility of rebellion. Therefore, whether it is the Shi clan or Mr. Duan's office, there is probably an account book that clearly records the details of the Shi clan's purchase of soldiers and horses over the years. As long as we can find such books... will be able to solve the present dilemma. ”

Qian Shan frowned and said, "Although the girl said so... But such an important book... Mr. Duan must have been kept close to him, how could we possibly get it? ”

Jiang Chengjia knew this, but after pondering for a while, he could only sigh: "Even if it's rare... We also need to fight. ”

She hid behind the cabinet, looked around the dark room again, and pulled Qian Shan towards the wooden doors made against the stone walls on the right.
