In the past few days, he has been dying, but Fu Chongxue is not in the mood to care about this stall at all. Besides, with his uncle Fu Zhenhan's words lingering in his ears, everyone has their own lives, and besides, it's none of their business.

And Jing Zheng and Zhou Binzhao did not have the calmness of the past, the two had already discussed a fight, and reported to King Xia that Beiyang led the troops to invade, and Beiyang General Zhao Erze secretly sneaked into the small border town of Great Xia, was caught by himself, and was killed immediately. As a result, because of the epidemic, all the things were put on hold. This can not only please King Xia in front of him, but also be regarded as a great achievement in the court.

At this time, King Xia instructed Jing Zheng to deal with the plague in Chengping, and they had to slow down Zhao Erze's affairs first, leaving his head on the neck to watch the changes. Jing Zheng lived in the palace for two consecutive days, and reported to King Xia at any time. Before he left, he said softly to Yingge that he must wait for him to come back.

This gave Fu Chongxue the opportunity to exploit the loophole. She secretly observed Jing Zheng's comings and goings, and she had long suspected that there was a secret room in Jing Zheng's study. That's why I took the trouble to change to Xia Qing's room in the past, so that I could investigate.

At night, she would dig deep into the corner of her small courtyard, separated only by a wall from her study. She wasn't trying to dig a tunnel that was easy to move around, and she wasn't so stupid. She only needs to judge the location of the secret room, so that she can find what she wants—those documents related to the Fu family back then, and documents that can bring down the Zhou family and convict the Zhou family. Even if Great Xia is chaotic and falls, the Fu family must remain innocent in the history of the court.

After judging for several nights in a row, Fu Chongxue finally poked a hard board, and it seemed that this was where the secret room was. She took advantage of the night to sneak into Jing Zheng's study. Her study was only separated by a wall from her courtyard, and she judged the location of the mechanism according to the direction in the courtyard. Fu Chongxue lit a small candle flame and looked left and right on the bookshelf, frightened and afraid to make a sound.

Suddenly, his feet slipped, and one fell to the ground without noticing. She was so frightened that she wanted to scream, but she subconsciously covered her mouth, looked around in horror, and didn't dare to breathe, for fear that someone would push the door in the next second.

The guards outside the courtyard heard the sound and shouted, "There are people inside!" As he said that, he was about to come to check, and Yingge's maidservant pretended to pass by, but in fact she had been waiting around the corner, afraid that this kind of thing would happen. She walked two steps quickly, just when she saw the guard wanting to push the door in to check, she hurriedly called out to the guard, "Brother, what's wrong?" ”

"I hear movement inside."

The maid poked her head out, "No, don't be scary, maybe it's a mouse." This Chengping is making trouble with the plague, which is too scary. She stabbed the guard reproachfully, "It's a big night, and there's no one in the courtyard, but you shouted and scared me." ”

"What are you going to do? Why did you come out in the middle of the night? ”

"Go to the kitchenette and get some snacks for my master."

The little guard looked at the maid's serious appearance and nodded.

"It's dark, you can go with me." She flashed her eyes, looked at him aggrievedly, and seemed to be about to cry, "The current Chengping is really too scary, you can accompany me on a trip, it won't be long." ”

The guard saw that there was no one around, and that he was already patrolling here, and that he was accompanied by a young girl, so he nodded, "Let's go, I'll go with you." ”

Fu Chongxue breathed a long sigh of relief when she heard the movement, the candle that fell to the ground in an instant just now had been extinguished, and the undried wax oil flowed down the cracks in the floor one by one.

She was annoyed and couldn't be more annoyed, secretly saying how she was not a good teacher. But he groped in the dark, knocked again, and the floor was empty. She rolled up her sleeves and groped her way through the gaps, and in a moment she moved the mechanism, and a small window popped out of the floor. Fu Chongxue was overjoyed in her heart, and hurriedly got in.

There was a fire and candle lit inside, and the sound of the wind coming from nowhere was like the groans of pain. She climbed down the iron-framed staircase into a small hall where a shallow moonlight penetrated through a gap in the ceiling that seemed to connect to the waterway of the flower beds on the ground. The corners of the room were dotted with heavy boxes that fell to the ground, taller than a man. She tiptoed to look through it, but the chains on the box were thicker than her wrists. Next to it is a small bookshelf with letters and documents stacked on top of each other. Fu Chongxue was eager to find the material about framing the Fu family, and flipped through the moonlight, but could not find the slightest trace.

Although the information in her hand has nothing to do with the Fu family, it is all evidence of bribery, and she holds it in her arms and is ready to continue the search. Suddenly, a man's howl was heard in the distance. She snapped a few steps back, gripping the iron staircase. Then I heard chains stirring not far away, as if someone was struggling as hard as they could.

A middle-aged male voice came: "I knew you were coming." Suddenly he burst out laughing again, as if he had gone mad. Fu Chongxue held her breath and didn't dare to light the candle in her hand, but she was curious and cautiously poked her head over. At the end of the short hallway, there was a prison, where ticking candles embedded in the walls burned and lit the dark walls, as if she were going to hell.

But between the ghosts and gods, they can't help but grope forward.

The lights flickered and blinked.

Fu Chongxue tapped lightly, approaching the source of the voice. When the man heard Suosuo's footsteps, he suddenly shook the iron fence again and stood up, wanting to pounce on Fu Chongxue. As a result, there was a bang, and the fence was hit. The man snorted, "What? Don't you dare to see me when you come? He looked at the corner, and a skirt floated into view.

Fu Chongxue took a deep breath and stood up.

She stood in front of the candle flame, holding her breath and observing the decadent man in front of her. The man had no scars on his body, but his mental state was close to madness. His eyes were scarlet, and his pupils suddenly shrank as he looked at the girl in front of him, who was like a little finch and asked in a low voice, "Who are you?" ”

Fu Chongxue asked rhetorically: "Who are you?" ”

The man said unashamedly, "General Beiyang, Zhao Erze." ”

She had heard the name, but she didn't understand why she was being held here, so she immediately asked, "General Beiyang?" You are the general of Beiyang, why are you being held here? ”

"You should ask Jing Zheng who crossed the river and demolished the bridge!" He snapped, gaining momentum.

Fu Chongxue was not afraid, but felt that she could take advantage of it, "Oh? If you are truthful, maybe I will get you out. ”

"Hehe, help me out, how to save it?"

"Let's see if you're worth it."

Fu Chongxue's voice slid into Zhao Erze's lonely chest tactfully with a hint of singing.

"Before that, can you sing me a Beiyang minor tune?"
