Chapter 363: Search

readx;?“ Let Your Majesty decide. Lan Jing sighed and said, "Even if there is this evidence, it is not enough to prove that Pu Chaojun is the head of the snake, and further investigation is still needed."www.biquge.info ”

But with these evidences, it was enough for Constantine XV to know.

After informing the guards, Wu Feng followed Lanjing through the curfew and secretly met him in the secret hall of Constantine XV's bedroom.

"Your Majesty......" Lan Jing was very embarrassed and told Wu Feng's guess to Constantine XV.

"It's not just speculation. Wu Feng said: "The housekeeper in Lord Pu Chaojun's mansion is indeed acting very strangely, and his mansion also seems to be very problematic, there may be secret passages in several places, but I don't dare to send someone to excavate." ”

"It is my duty to tell Your Majesty this, but I don't think it's true. Pu Chaojun is not that kind of person. Lan Jing said, "Maybe it's the same as what happened to Lord Cade last time, it's the real snake head who is framing him. ”

Constantine XV's face turned cold.

"Secret Passage ......"

He stroked the beard from his chin.

Pu Chaojun's wife is a princess of the dwarf clan, which is a marriage that took place under the planning of Constantine XV, but the elite dwarf mercenaries brought by it have almost become Pu Chaojun's personal soldiers.

Dwarves are known to be known to be adept at digging tunnels.

"As I have already said, as long as you search the mansion of Lord Pu Chaojun and arrest the butler and torture him, you will get the answer. Wu Feng said.

"We investigated Master Cade before, but we didn't let him know. Lan Jing said: "If it turns out that Pu Chaojun is innocent later, but we torture his loyal butler, and also search and destroy his mansion, it is too damaging to the face of an important minister of a country......

"No, Aquamarine, you don't have to say it. Constantine XV suddenly decided: "I know your feelings for Pu Chaojun, but I am his own brother-in-law. ”

"But now that the national crisis is at hand, can we still take care of the face of one or two people? If he is innocent, I will personally apologize to him!"

Constantine XV could not tolerate anyone's betrayal, even just the possibility of betrayal.

What Wu Feng said was enough for Constantine XV to send troops to search and excavate Pu Chaojun's mansion.

After all, although Pu Chaojun is the prince's own uncle, this may also make it more convenient for him to hold the prince hostage, and the elite prince's guards and fierce dwarf mercenaries may be used by Pu Chaojun.

It was so dangerous that it chilled him.

"Special Envoy Tian Chang, I will summon Pu Chaojun and his son Xigu and others tomorrow, and keep them in the palace until the evening, one day should be enough. If nothing comes of it, I'll explain it to the family. ”

Constantine XV's eyes were like lightning, and he said.

"Understood. Wu Feng nodded.

......

At dawn the next day, Pu Chaojun received a decree summoning their family to the palace to enjoy the flowers, and by the way, they reminisced with the queen and the prince.

On the occasion of the siege of the city, it is really rare that His Majesty the Emperor still has such Yaxing. Of course, Pu Chaojun didn't dare to slack off, took his wife and children, dressed neatly, and hurried into the palace.

When Pu Chaojun had just left the mansion, the Byzantine elite armor guards led by Wu Feng surrounded the deputy prime minister's mansion.

Wu Feng kicked the ornately decorated gate to smithereens.

"You ......," said the doorman angrily, "who dares to trespass on the mansion of the deputy prime minister......

Before he finished speaking, the guards behind Wu Feng knocked several guards unconscious to the ground and rushed into the house like jackals.

Forced by spears and halberds, the servants and maidservants crouched in rows against the wall, like patches of mushrooms, even a few of Pu Chaojun's own favored concubines.

Although the guards did not dare to plunder the vice-chancellor's mansion, they were also very happy to be able to search the mansion of such a noble man, and they roared and rushed indiscriminately, making a mess of the exquisite flower beds, and the private guards in the house would be brutally beaten by them if they resisted.

Lan Jing stood beside Wu Feng with her hands in her hands, watching her old colleague's mansion being treated so violently, and couldn't help but sigh faintly.

"This clump of calendula is a rare famous product, and it is a pity that it was ruined like this. ”

Before the words fell, one of the guards suddenly exclaimed: "The soil layer below is unusually loose, I'm afraid there is a secret passage!"

"I am on the orders of His Majesty to deal with this matter, and everyone will dig it. Wu Feng's face was calm: "If Your Majesty blames, I will bear it." ”

The soldiers immediately took out shovels and shovels and other tools, dug on the spot, and soon dug a huge pit.

Underneath is a stone slab with strange patterns on it.

The soldiers tried their best to pry the slate, and when they found that they couldn't pry it open, they stabbed it with their spears and fighting spirit, and bombarded the slate to pieces.

In an instant, there was a strange buzzing sound below, and then black-green liquid and sharp arrows shot out in all directions!

"Everyone be careful!" Wu Feng exclaimed.

It's too late.

One soldier was killed by an arrow, and five others were burned on the cheeks by poisoned water, and their faces were completely disfigured.

They are all the elite of the emperor, and their reactions are relatively agile, otherwise there will only be more people who will be created.

Lan Jing's face finally changed, and the old butler of the Deputy Prime Minister's Mansion, who was tied behind his back with his hands tied behind his back, changed his face greatly.

A normal high-ranking official, there should not be these dangerous things in the mansion.

"This must be a mechanism, and if it is forcibly opened, it will trigger an attack. Wu Feng said.

The soldiers then carefully descended into the tunnels, where the best surveyors drew the tunnels to match the layout of Constantinople.

Under Wu Feng's sharp eyes, the soldiers discovered five similar secret passages.

"Each secret passage is divided into many branches. "There are alarm facilities and various organs, a secret store where food supplies and weapons are stored, and a beautiful conference hall. ”

At this point, the surveyors suddenly began to stumble.

"What's the matter, go on. Wu Feng's eyes were cold.

"The secret passage leads to the mansions of most important officials and generals - even Lord Lanjing, the two marshals of Wind and Thunder, and ...... Royal Palace ......"

Wu Feng was stunned.

"It's not surprising. It seems that the role of the secret passage is not only to connect, but also to launch raids on the mansions of major important ministers at critical moments, control their families, and conquer the palace in one fell swoop. ”

He made a convincing analysis at the moment: "With the strength of those dwarves, Pu Chaojun can do this without any important minister or even His Majesty himself noticing. ”

Wu Feng turned his eyes to look at the old butler and said lightly: "Now, do you confess yourself, or will we interrogate you?"

"This ......" the old butler trembled all over: "slander...... Master...... The host was wronged......"

But the horror in his eyes had betrayed him.

The soldiers of the Praetorian Guard took the old butler down, and the rest of the mansion was controlled.

It only took less than a day for Wu Feng to get the confession he needed, in addition to Pu Chaojun's actions and conspiracy, there were also some important traitors' names on it.

With the old butler covered in bruises, Wu Feng finally arrived in the palace in the middle of the night.

Pu Chaojun's family was still left in the palace by the enthusiastic Constantine XV, who also said that he would leave the family in the palace for the night.

But when the old housekeeper was brought to Pu Chaojun, Pu Chaojun's expression changed in an instant: "This ...... What's going on?"

"The host...... Old Slave ...... I'm sorry the old slave betrayed you......" The dying old butler suddenly bit his tongue violently.

A puddle of blood burst out along with the flesh.

The faithful old butler was so ashamed that he could not bear the torture and betrayed his master, and he committed suicide by biting his tongue on the spot.

His old body slowly fell backwards.

"Lord Pu Chaojun, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave tonight. ”

Wu Feng squinted his eyes, looked at this nasty dead fat man, and smiled. (To be continued.) )
