Zhen Shiyuan did not appear in the yamen of Dali Temple, but directly asked her to go back to the house in Wuling Lane.

Compared with the official errand who was temporarily called last night, half of the officials in Dali Temple today were called to Wulin Alley by Zhen Shiyuan, and the alley where few people stopped was also surrounded by water, and many people pointed outside.

There are rotating officials carrying shovels, bare upper bodies, with a towel on their shoulders, squatting at the mouth of the alley with a porcelain bowl to drink water.

In this way, it is like a laborer who has come back from a place to work.

There are vendors in nearby shops who are idle and have nothing to do, so they simply look lively.

"A family member dug up a body in their home." The melon seller on the side said that he sells melons here every day, and his business is good and bad, but today's incident has made his business much better than usual. Those officials who were tired of digging the ground, and the people who passed by to see the excitement bought melons from him, so that before noon, the two loads of melons were sold out.

There was nothing to do, so he watched the excitement from the sidelines, and he saw this time since he got up in the morning, and watched the whole process.

"It's really scary, I reported to the official yesterday, I heard that the tenant of this house is still an official of Dali Temple, and I found that there were white bones in the house and went to the peak and came directly." The peddler sat on the pony and said, "Not only the corpse, but also the tunnel, the tunnel is not only the place where the tunnel passes, there are many people under this martial arts alley!" ”

"It's a secret passage and a corpse, it sounds weird and scary." Some people muttered a sentence and said "scary", but people continued to look at the alleyway.

Qiao Ran looked at the half-dug house and the neatly assembled bones in the courtyard, stood in place for a while, and walked in over the white bones all over the ground.

"Lord Zhen," Qiao Ran walked up to Zhen Shiyuan's side and asked, "How is it?" ”

Zhen Shiyuan raised his chin, looked at the excavated tunnel, and said, "What you said is good, there are tunnels under this house." ”

Sure enough, she was right! Zhen Shiyuan looked back at Qiao Ran after speaking, and said in his heart: This person who digs the tunnel is also unlucky, this tunnel does not go to other places, but digs under her house.

What to do in her place, can you hide it from her?

The girl's expression was calm, and it was obvious that this answer had been expected, and she asked again, "Did you find anything in the tunnel?" ”

"Traces of people passing by." Zhen Shiyuan said, "After the tunnel dug out of the hole, I asked people to go down and walk, and then found that this tunnel is really not small, extending in all directions, the people who walk the tunnel are drawing a map with memory, let's wait for a while." ”

"Did the people who walked the tunnels go to the end?" Qiao Ran asked, "Where does it lead?" ”

"One is an ownerless land temple where occasional beggars or passers-by live, and the other is ......" Zhen Shiyuan said here, couldn't help but pause, looked at her with a subtle look, "In a corner near the Vermilion Bird Workshop, push open the stone slab, it is the Vermilion Bird Workshop." ”

Suzaku Fang! No wonder Zhen Shiyuan's expression is so subtle! Qiao Ran also understood.

It is not easy to live in Chang'an. It is a sentence that foreigners who have just entered Chang'an often sigh about, saying that this Chang'an rice is expensive and the house is expensive.

I think she would have rented the house here even though she knew there was a problem with the house because the rent price of the house was cheap.

If the price of Chang'an Mansion is expensive, then Suzaku Fang is the most expensive place in this Chang'an Mansion.

If you want to live in Suzaku Fang, no matter how rich you are, people with a net worth such as Master Qiao may not be able to buy the house of Suzaku Fang.

Among them, there are countless wealthy families, famous families, powerful families, and clans, and people say that they are either rich or expensive, but the people who live in Suzaku Fang are both rich and expensive, and both are indispensable.

The ownerless land temple is naturally accessible to everyone, and there is nothing to check here, and the other exit Vermilion Bird Fang is the only clue.

It was this clue that once again confirmed her guess yesterday: this matter will inevitably involve the powerful, and to put it bluntly, it will still be taken over by the Ministry of Officials or Dali Temple.

Qiao Ran was silent for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at Zhen Shiyuan and smiled: "Lord Zhen, didn't you snatch it from the hands of the officials?" ”

He said that there was no case, so wouldn't this case be sent to the door?

Can she still laugh now? Zhen Shiyuan glanced at her, and his expression was solemn: "The official has a hunch, and I am afraid that this matter is not small." ”

Either you don't come, or you want to come and you come big, that's really ...... Zhen Shiyuan was a little complicated in his heart.

"This Chang'an City is full of powerful people, which thing can be reported to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Officials?" Qiao Ran spread her hands, "Lord Zhen, the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds......"

"There's no need for such a thing as hard work." Zhen Shiyuan interrupted her words and said, "I prefer to be directly demoted." ”

Qiao Ran laughed for a moment when she heard this, and only after laughing enough, did she ask him: "This tunnel passes through Wuling Lane, I'm afraid it has passed through a lot of houses, why is this only one a murderous house?" ”

"Although the tunnel map is not finished yet, I can tell you about it." Zhen Shiyuan said, he also went down and walked, "If the official guesses correctly, this tunnel has been repaired at least ten years ago." He said, "The movement of the tunnel is very accurate, and the direction of the passage is clever enough to bypass the houses that may be inhabited, and you have said that some people always take advantage of the thunderstorm night, when the sound rumbles, as long as they go around the houses where people rest at night, and there is thunder to cover it, generally speaking, no one will be noticed." ”

Qiao Ran said: "They are so careful, but why did they leave this house alone." ”

When Zhen Shiyuan heard this, he turned his head and said to the official errand next to him: "Bring the record sent by the official department." ”

The official department of Da Chu is the yamen who is in charge of the house, although the biggest official is only an eight-grade petty official, but this yamen really has the need to exist.

The Great Chu Dynasty was built for more than 300 years, Chang'an was prosperous, the eight directions came to the dynasty, the population was large, some people came to inevitably need a place to live, when there was no official department at the beginning of the Dynasty, there were many battles for land and houses in Chang'an, and they shirked each other to compete for the middle of the territory. Later, His Majesty Taizong specially set up a yamen such as the official department for this purpose, in order to manage this kind of dispute.

After more than 300 years of operation, the Ministry of Justice has long found a set of methods that are least likely to cause disputes. That is the boundary of Chang'an, but anyone who wants to build a house needs to back up a drawing of the construction of the house to the official department, and the official department will record the specific location of the house properly, and after the record, as long as the wall is moved an inch or two more, it is found that it has violated the law and will go to prison.

Therefore, the official department naturally also has a picture of the house when it was first built.

Zhen Shiyuan flipped through the record of the house in Wuling Lane, and pointed out to her the picture of the house ten years ago, "Ten years ago, there was no such field here, and there was no well in the backyard. The day the official checked the record, it should be the well dug by the family of the first wave of madness, and the ground was turned over. ”

Qiao Ran suddenly said: "So this well, this field, is it bumped into or close to the tunnel?" ”

No wonder she could clearly hear the sound of people moving underneath.

One of the reasons why this house is a murderous house can be regarded as uncovered.
