Chapter 85: The Real Murderer

With a rumbling sound, the back of the bookshelf reveals an intersection that is only easy for people to pass.

The passage that Jian Zhen hadn't found for a long time turned out to be behind the bookshelf, Dai Yixi was also a little shocked by himself, and as soon as he came in, he opened a secret room, and saw that Jian Zhen's vision was also spread, saying that he didn't know why.

Maybe it's luck, after Jian Zhen thought of this, she couldn't help but sigh, how bad her luck was, it was better for Dai Yixi to step in and slip after looking for so long.

"I suspect that there may be some more important secrets here, how the old general died in the first place, no one knows, I mean, in case, is it possible that there is another secret in this matter." Jian Zhen knew that it was a bit ridiculous for her to say it directly, after all, all the evidence pointed to Ma Zhiyuan, but she knew that Dai Yixi would believe it, if not wholeheartedly, at least seventy or eighty percent.

Sure enough, Dai Yixi didn't say anything, but walked directly into the secret passage, took out the fire he carried with him, folded it, and lit the oil lamps on both sides.

This secret passage is very long, it seems to lead to the underground, after Jian Zhen walked to the lowest room, he couldn't help but look around for vents, if there were no vents around, then there would not be enough oxygen in this room, obviously this was not reasonable.

The design of the vent is very discreet, and in an inconspicuous corner, if you don't deliberately look for it, you often don't notice that there are a few small holes there for ventilation.

The room was not very large, except for a few cabinets of treasures and curios, all that was left was a few large chests and a table.

There was a pile of secret letters on the table, and in a small box next to it, Jian Zhen saw a lot of stacks of letters, and they were divided into different small compartments, each of which had a piece of paper with a name on it.

There weren't much of value in the other chests, except for a set of armor that looked extraordinary, and a box of gold, silver, and jewelry, which was obviously a treasure that Ma Zhiyuan had treasured over the years.

Jian Zhen specially selected those letters with special seals to read, and that special seal was a team that was established with the assistance of one in the unjust case, and it was said that it was the people in this team who assassinated Dai Mingjiao, and there were even witnesses, but in the case of knowing part of the truth, Jian Zhen had to suspect that this was disguised by Hu Tong early.

But these things that cannot be said directly according to his identity and what he knows about Hu Tong, and what can prove this is very likely to be in these boxes and in these letters.

"Come over here and help us find out." Jian Zhen moved quickly, and soon opened several letters, but these were trivial matters, or things arranged elsewhere, and there was no useful information about the assassination in the first place.

Dai Yixi just thought of some not very good memories for a moment, so he was cold, and after reacting at this moment, he immediately opened the letters one by one and began to check to see if he could find out who was involved in this matter, and then it would be better to deal with them one by one.

When he was halfway through, Dai Yixi was suddenly stunned, because the letter in his hand said that Ma Zhiyuan sent someone to stare at Dai Ming's order, but there was no order to assassinate him.

Maybe it's a coincidence.

Because of this thinking, Dai Yixi did not give up and continued to search, but when he turned to the back, he found a reply letter to Ma Zhiyuan, which clearly stated the consequences of Dai Ming's death, but it was described from the perspective of a bystander.

This is not so much evidence, but a simple and clear report, which only proves from the side that it has no direct relationship with Ma Zhiyuan.

Jian Zhen didn't gain anything here, so he had to look at Dai Yixi's side with his spare eyes, and after seeing the drastic change in the expression on his face, he knew that he must have found something.

"I think I've always been mistaken, Ma Zhiyuan is indeed an enemy all along, but his father's death was not his doing." Dai Yixi had a very ridiculous feeling, he had identified this matter for several months, but now he told him that none of what he thought was true was true.

It's just an illusion made up by the real enemy behind the scenes, if it weren't for Jian Zhen who felt that something strange had found this secret room, maybe he would have taken the previous illusion as the truth, and even kept it in the dark all the time, until the enemy behind the scenes stood up and became his real enemy one day.

It's just that he doesn't quite understand one thing, apart from Ma Zhiyuan, who else can make such a move, could it be the Hu family? But as far as he knows, the current ruler of the Hu clan is essentially just a businessman, and the two sons are just average, and the infighting is very strong.

Jian Zhen still couldn't bear it after all, even if he knew that he didn't say a word and waited for things to change by himself, this was the better way, but he still couldn't help it: "The Hu family doesn't just have two young masters as heirs, isn't there a third?" That humble concubine. ”

"As far as I know, there are many brothers who died in the hands of those two young masters, and this is the only one who can live to adulthood unharmed, since he can survive to the end, and let everyone not defend him, then this should also be a not simple character, everything can't just look at the surface." Jian Zhen sighed slightly in his heart, and the big stone that was pressing on his heart seemed to become a little lighter.

has always been because of Hu Tong, Jian Zhen has a lot of worries in his heart, heavy, and it is difficult to say it directly, even if he has a lot of guesses and knows a lot of things, he can't directly put it on the table.

Now that he finally spoke, he directly broke through the disguise that Hu Tong had been wearing outside, and finally made Dai Yixi notice the existence of such a person.

"You're right." Dai Yixi also noticed that since it was not Ma Zhiyuan, the murderer could only be someone else, and even single-handedly did all this, misleading him to focus on Ma Zhiyuan, so that he ignored the real enemy.

Hu Tong...... Dai Yixi didn't have any impression of this name before, but today he remembers it deeply.

Coming out of the secret room, the heaviness in Dai Yixi's heart seemed to disappear without a trace, looking at the person standing beside him, he was sincerely happy.

Although there are new enemies to face and the road ahead is full of thorns, it is good to be able to recognize that none of this is being kept in the dark.

"Although the revenge for killing my father has not been avenged, the matter of getting married should also be able to be put on the agenda."
