A few days later, Hou Ye went out early in the morning, and Mu Zijiang happened to be watching from the house.

Linglong saw that today's day was quite suitable for hands-on, so she walked through the long corridor, passed through the bamboo forest, walked through the gate of the arc-shaped courtyard, and then passed through the long gravel road, and arrived at the forbidden area of the mansion - Hou Ye's study.

People usually don't come and go here often, because Hou Ye will go to the study to sort out the documents every time he goes down to the court.

Linglong walked into the study, which was locked, and she looked around to make sure there was no one.

Linglong took out the needle from her cuff, a needle that could be unlocked. This thing was naturally given to her by the general, and if she wanted to steal the documents inside, she was afraid that she wouldn't even be able to enter the door without this preparation.

Linglong gently picked the lock, she was also trained, long-term training, it was easy for her to unlock such a lock.

Soon, the lock was picked open, and she gently opened the door of the study, and quietly walked in, and then closed the door, and the lock hung outside the door of the study.

The study was dim, and Linglong didn't dare to light the lamp, because if people knew, she wouldn't be able to justify herself.

The study was very tidy, and Linglong began to open the books on the desk, she was looking for something.

The books on the desk, when the pages were turned open, the paper inside had turned yellow. Linglong picked it up and put it in its original position.

She didn't dare to move the things here at will, if she was a careful person, if someone touched the things she usually put her things in, she would definitely notice it.

Linglong didn't find the document on her desk, just as she wondered where it was hidden? Footsteps could be heard in the hallway outside the study.

The sound of footsteps slowly came to the study, Linglong was very panicked at this time, thinking to herself, before coming in just now, she obviously saw that Hou Ye had left the mansion, how could she turn back halfway.

This sudden situation caught Linglong off guard, she never expected that when she entered the study, Hou Ye was walking towards the study. But today no matter what, I can't let my identity be exposed, and if I do, then the whole plan will fail.

So she looked around the study to find a place to hide, but there was no place to hide in the study except for the four walls.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and in a hurry, his body instinctively leaned against the wall where a calligraphy and painting hung behind the desk, and Linglong's hand inadvertently touched the black wooden box on the right shelf.

The wooden box was touched by Linglong's hand and turned in a direction of ninety degrees. Linglong didn't expect her body to fall into the void all of a sudden, and she fell into the secret room behind the wall.

She fell in, but she didn't dare make a sound. It's just that she didn't expect that there was a secret room hidden in this study.

Once the stone door of the secret room was closed, the sound outside would naturally not be heard clearly. Outside the study......

Hou Ye walked over, when he walked to the door of the study. Seeing the lock that had been opened, I couldn't help but shake my head, thinking to myself that my memory was getting worse and worse, and I even forgot to lock the door of the study when I went out just now.

Hou Ye opened the door of the study, walked in, walked to the bookshelf, and from the third floor of the bookshelf, took out a roll of bamboo slips, he opened the bamboo slips, and there was a letter in the bamboo slips, he opened it and looked at the contents of the letter carefully.

Then the letter was burned, and it was obvious that the Hou Ye didn't want the second person to know the contents of the letter, and what exactly was written on the letter? Except for Hou Ye himself, no one knows.

The smell of burning paper in the air is reassuring, and only when it is burned will people not know about it.

Hou Ye stayed in the study for a while and left, and when he walked out of the study, he locked the door of the study.

This lock, Linglong didn't know it in the secret room. She wanted to leave this study today, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.

Linglong didn't dare to make too much noise in the secret room, she walked curiously into the secret room tunnel. It's dark here, but Linglong never feels scared.

After walking about a few dozen meters, she saw the end of the secret room. It is very simple inside, and there is no collection of this rare treasure, there is a portrait hanging in this secret room, Linglong walked in and looked, the woman on the painting was Miss Rulan.

It seems that Hou Ye still has a lot of thoughts in his heart, and in the dim light, the person on this portrait really looks a little like himself.

Linglong turned her head to look at a chest inside the secret room, which was also locked. She took the needle and tried to unlock the box.

It took about a quarter of an hour to unlock the box. There was only one thing in such a big box.

Linglong picked up the scroll and opened it. It's okay not to look at it, but after looking at it, Linglong was shocked, it was densely packed with people's names, sorted in order according to their status and official position.

It seems that this scroll is the one he is looking for, and the people written on it are all the lists of people that Hou Ye is going to be impeached on the book king.

There are also these usual behaviors written in it, and it seems that Hou Ye came prepared. This document has obviously not yet been presented to the king, and it seems that the Hou Ye is waiting for an opportunity.

An opportunity to catch all the people in the paperwork......

Linglong quickly read it and wrote it down. This document can't be taken away, once it is taken away, Hou Ye will definitely find out. The only way to do this is to write down the contents of this document yourself and memorize it in your head.

After reading it, she carefully put the document away. Lock the box again and walk out down the tunnel.

When she walked out of the secret room and was about to walk out of the study, she found that the door of the study had been locked outside.

At this time, Linglong sighed deeply, I didn't expect to be so unlucky and unsmooth today. If you can't get out, then the possibility of staying here is to wait for death.

Time passed little by little, and Linglong stayed here for about half an hour, when she suddenly heard the voice of someone talking outside the door.

Hearing the footsteps that seemed to be coming from the study, Linglong became vigilant and stood at the door of the study.

The door of the study was opened with a key, she gently pushed the door open, and Linglong simply hid behind the door, and the door that was opened just blocked Linglong's petite figure.

"You two, I'll be more careful later." The person who spoke was none other than the maid in charge of the house, Biyun.

"Yes!" The two maids replied in unison.

"I'll go over to the kitchen first, and I'll come and lock the door after you clean up." Biyun finished speaking and walked away.

The two maids were quite young, about fourteen years old, and their families were poor, so they sold them. It's good to be able to enter the Hou Mansion, if they sell it to other places, not to mention the hardships, the heavy work is enough for them to bear.
