Chapter 68: Conspiracy
Cheng Ge nodded, she planned to leave Murong Wei behind at the beginning because her martial arts were better than herself, and she was still curious and fond of herself, and it was only right to have her by her side to protect herself, of course, if she didn't leave with her brother tomorrow.
The two went to sleep in a depressed mood.
The clouds were so thick that the moon and stars in the sky were completely out of sight, and the wind was blowing, and the trees in the yard were blown to the side, and the leaves rattled. The storm is coming......
……
When Cheng Ge and Qin Changqi woke up, it was raining heavily, the air was full of dampness and the smell of earth, and many flowers in the yard had fallen into the mud with the petals of the rain, which was a bit of a mess.
"Princess." Yeyu walked in from outside with an umbrella, "Lian'er is asking to see her outside, and she has been waiting for a while." ”
"Let him in." Cheng Ge didn't expect such a big rain lotus to come early, for fear that he would freeze outside, so he hurriedly let the night rain bring him in. It just so happened that the maids had already set up breakfast in the flower hall, and Qin Mo and Murong Wei were already sitting there waiting.
Lian'er was drenched when she came in, and Cheng Ge asked the maid to change him into clean and refreshing clothes before taking him to the flower hall.
"Haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Let's sit down and eat a little together. Cheng Ge asked the maid to add him a pair of chopsticks, but he waved his hand again and again and refused.
"No, no, thank you, Princess." Lian'er hurriedly waved her hand, then took out something wrapped in an oilcloth from her arms and handed it to Cheng Ge, "Princess, this is what I recorded before, and my handwriting is not good." After saying that, he scratched his head embarrassedly.
"It's okay, the rain won't stop for a while, you sit down and have breakfast, and then leave later." Cheng Ge's smile made Lian'er feel very warm, and then she listened to her words and sat down.
Cheng Ge handed the bag of things to Ye Yu, and asked Ye Yu to carefully transcribe a copy, she wanted to return the original to Lian'er, his parents were no longer there, this was the only thought.
After breakfast, the rain gradually became lighter, and Lian'er thought about returning to the theater as soon as possible, where there were still many things to do. Cheng Ge didn't stop him anymore, and after he left, he carefully checked what he recorded, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he felt.
Lian'er overheard a man talking to the original class master in the room before, and the two seemed to mention Chi Guoshi and the like, and said that they were going to take someone away, but he didn't know who it was. The main thing is that he heard one word, the border defense map.
Although this matter has been going on for several years, it should be paid more attention, if it is really that group of people who want to steal the border defense map, they are likely to quietly invade the border, and they may also be ambushed.
Cheng Ge hurriedly showed it to Qin Changqi, and Qin Changqi was also taken aback after reading it, and after pondering for less than a moment, he hurriedly entered the palace. Cheng Ge thought that maybe there were other things in this matter, so he hurriedly went to the theater. Lian'er was working in the theater at this time, and was a little surprised to see Cheng Ge coming, and she already had something to confirm with him.
"Is the previous room still in its original state?" Cheng Ge asked eagerly.
"Yes." Lian'er hurriedly replied, "After the class master left, no one lived in these rooms, is the princess going to see the scene?" ”
Cheng Ge nodded and asked Lian'er to lead the way, but Lian'er was afraid of delaying her affairs, so she hurriedly took her upstairs. The second floor of the theater building was already covered with dust, and the room of the previous class master and Mingjiao was covered with cobwebs, and there were a few rats scurrying around.
"You go get busy first, I'll see for myself." Cheng Ge looked around and didn't find anything for the time being, so he asked Lian'er to go about his own business, and Lian'er didn't doubt him, so she went downstairs to get busy.
The room of the class owner is very large, and the layout is very simple, there are no bottles and cans that were displayed before, only some dilapidated furniture remains. But I don't know why, Cheng Ge always felt that there was a trace of weirdness in this room. She looked around and didn't find any personal belongings left behind by the class master, was there really nothing strange here?
Cheng Ge turned around and was just about to leave, but he saw a few cuckoo ornaments on the bookshelf against the wall in the east, which felt a little abrupt. Why did you take everything away, but you still have such an item left? Cheng Ge walked forward curiously, taking a closer look at its appearance, there was nothing special. But as soon as she touched it, the entire bookshelf moved to the right, and a wooden door appeared.
Organ! Cheng Ge suddenly felt a little happy, and things finally had a breakthrough point. Carefully opened the wooden door, and there was a foul smell coming from inside, and there was a smell of dust that had been dusty for many years.
But she didn't dare to move forward alone, so she called Lian'er downstairs and brought a lamp by the way. The two men entered the chamber together, covering their mouths and noses with their sleeves. The secret room is very well arranged, and after lighting the lamp in the secret room, I saw that the whole secret room seemed to be arranged as a room, although there was no bed in it, but there was a complete set of tables, chairs and benches, and a set of tea sets on it. Cheng Ge looked around for a while and saw the skeleton of a person in the corner of the secret room, and both of them were startled.
After being stunned for a while, Lian'er mustered up the courage to look forward, but after Cheng Ge came back to his senses, he was not afraid, and checked the situation of the entire skeleton, there was no sign of poisoning on his body, and judging from the fabric left over from his coat, it should be a young man.
"He seems to be the one who disappeared inexplicably before." Suddenly, Lian'er whispered that although he rarely saw this person, the clothes on his body seemed to be the costumes prepared for him in the theater.
"Are you sure?" Cheng Ge was a little surprised, it seemed that everyone thought that he had left, but he didn't expect to die in this secret room.
"It should be him, I recognize the clothes on his body." After Lian'er looked at it carefully again, she nodded heavily, "I thought he was gone." ”
But why did this person die in the secret room of the class master's room? Cheng Ge is a little confused. Cheng Ge sent someone to Jingzhao Mansion to report the case to see if there were any clues about the missing person on their side.
Cheng Ge continued to check on the play's room, and this time she took Lian'er with her. The play's room was also dusty, but strangely enough, there was also a bookshelf on the west side of the play's room, on which there was also an ornament of a cuckoo.
Such a similar room arrangement made Cheng Ge feel that something flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly touched this ornament, and sure enough, the bookshelf was moved to the side, and a wooden door that was the same as in the class master's room appeared.
