The candles on the menorah were lit, and the flame flickered gently twice before settling down, casting shadows all over the room.

In this small room, there were seven or eight people standing, all looking around.

Zhong Ye stood in the center of the room and looked around, secretly complaining.

Qian Qianyi was gone, along with all the servants in this courtyard, leaving only an empty courtyard, as if no one had ever been here.

The guards who had been assigned to guard outside were also staring at each other at the moment, they had been closely guarding outside all day, but they didn't see anyone coming in or out of here, including Shizi.

"Grandpa Zhong, what about our son?" The leader of the guards stepped forward and asked, "Why is there no one in this courtyard?" ”

Zhong Ye said that Shizi asked them to come and guard in this courtyard, but why didn't Shizi see any trace of Shizi?

You must know that Qian Qianyi is the only seedling in Duanwangfu, if he has three long and two short, everyone will have to accompany the funeral.

Zhong Ye was also blindsided for a while, he thought that Qian Qianyi would be fine as long as he stayed honestly, at most he was hungry, and he would come in to pick him up when it was dark.

Although he was delayed for some time because of Wei Yining's matter, he did not exceed his plan overall.

But now this situation is obviously this guy acting privately, and he must have alarmed the people here, otherwise he wouldn't be left alone.

This guy doesn't know if he's bold or lacking in heart, so he has to make a mess before he stops.

"Search this place carefully, and don't let go of a single brick!" Zhong Ye said in a deep voice.

He himself also looked around the house, Qian Qianyi put the ceiling back when he came down from above, Zhong Ye looked carefully and saw that there was no trace of a fight, it can be seen that he himself took the initiative to come down from above.

Zhong Ye felt that it was very likely that Qian Qianyi had discovered something, so he couldn't help but chase him down.

It's just that he is too light on the enemy, and most of them have been discovered by the other party at this time.

After taking a closer look at the room, Zhong Ye felt that something was wrong as he fumbled for the walls.

At first glance, the walls look the same, they are smooth and clean, but when you touch them, you will feel that one part is cooler than the others.

Zhong Ye immediately made a decision, and dug a few times into this wall with the dagger he carried, and found that there was actually a trapdoor.

It's just that from the outside, the color of this trapdoor is exactly the same as the wall, and there are almost no gaps in the connection, and you can't see it with your eyes alone.

It's a pity that the passage inside has been bricked to death, and the mortar inside is still wet, so the wall in this place will be cooler to the touch.

Zhong Ye was a coarse and delicate person, and when he saw this situation, he immediately deduced that Feng Yuchao must have traveled back and forth to King Jing's Mansion through this secret passage.

Because this mansion is only separated from King Jing's Mansion by a wall, a passage is quietly built, and you can enter and exit freely.

This secret passage must not be known, so even the servants here can't figure out where the children who were sent by Yueyue ended up, and it seems that the Feng brothers are still very careful in their work.

Now that this passage has been sealed, it is mostly because Qian Qianyi discovered this secret, and the other party discovered him, of course, he will seal this passage, and at the same time dismiss the people in the courtyard.

"Grandpa Zhong," the leader of the guards came over and asked, "Why don't you tell the prince as soon as possible!" ”

This Grandpa Zhong is in name only, and now that such a big thing has happened, I'm afraid that he won't be able to solve it at all.

The guards can't afford to take on such a big responsibility, and if they delay and don't report it, they will be guilty, and a few of their heads will not be enough to cut off.

Zhong Ye judged the situation and knew that this matter could not contain the fire, and it was impossible for these guards to keep their mouths shut in order to save their lives.

So he said: "The whereabouts of the prince are unknown now, and this matter really has to be known to the prince." Leave a few people to guard here, and I will follow the rest to report to the prince in person. ”

"So good, so good." The head of the guard hurriedly said, "There is Grandpa Lao." ”

"You're welcome, this matter started because of Zhong, and I should come forward to give an explanation."

Zhong Ye came with the guards of Duanwang's Mansion to see Duanwangye.

Duan Wang Ye is only fifty years old, burly and heroic, and he is four or five points similar to today.

But Qian Qianyi is not like his father, he is a typical merry little white face.

Zhong Ye met with the prince and briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter. Some things can't be said in too much detail, because many of them are Zhong Ye's own speculation, and it is difficult to win people's trust if they say it rashly.

It can only be said that Qian Qianyi followed him to a certain house and found that someone was abducting the child, and then Qian Qianyi squatted there, while he came out to move the rescuers, but after he went back, Qian Qianyi was gone, so he came to tell him.

But what I didn't expect was that Duan Wang Ye didn't believe it at all, and said: "This unscrupulous son doesn't do his job all day long, he is gone, and it is very likely that he is hiding somewhere to be happy." ”

Zhong Ye had no choice but to say: "Now that the prince is missing, it is the fault of the next, and I ask the prince to forgive me for a few days, and I will definitely find a way to find the prince in the next." ”

Hearing this, Duan Wang Ye waved his hand and said, "You are also the master who has nothing to do all day long, what serious can you two do when you are mixed together?" I'm very busy these days, and I want to preside over the Queen Mother's visit to Tangquan, so you can toss as much as you like! When the money on him is spent, he will naturally come back. ”

Zhong Ye couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, this prince was actually disappointed in his son to such an extent, which shows how ridiculous Qian Qianyi is on weekdays.

Since the other party didn't believe it, it was useless to say more, and it was in vain to delay time, Zhong Ye had no choice but to clench his fists and say: "What should be said has been explained in the next place, whether the prince believes it or not, I will try my best to find the whereabouts of the prince." ”

After hearing this, King Duan stopped talking, but just stretched out his hand to signal the guests.

Zhong Ye turned around, and Duan Wang Ye looked at his back thoughtfully.

"Lord Wang......" The head of the guard couldn't help but speak.

"What do you want to say?" Duan Wang Ye asked rhetorically: "Let me ask you, did you see the prince when Zhong Ye asked you to go?" ”

"Nope." The head of the guard said.

"Then let me ask you again, have you seen anyone abducting a child?" King Duan asked again.

"Nope." The leader of the guards shook his head.

"Since childhood, in addition to eating, drinking, and having fun, has the prince done a serious thing?" Duan Wang continued to ask.

"This ......," the leader of the guards did not dare to answer.

Although it is true that the prince of Duanwang is like this, as a subordinate, he must not criticize his master.

"Do you think the prince has the courage to do these things?" Duanwang sneered: "Most of this little beast wants to cheat me out of my money, but it's a pity that others don't dare to cheat me with him." But with the jingle of Zhong Ye's poor, the two of them must have hit it off. If I believe them, won't they be a laughing stock?! ”
