On October 7, the second year of the Great Yuan Zhenyong calendar, three days passed from the day of Du Yuanqian's execution.

Ya Si.

At the end of the day, Shen Fang, who was already on duty, hurried over again.

"My lord, I have made a discovery!"

In the lobby of the Yasi, Shen Fang made a bow and spoke in a deep voice to Wu Zhi, who had just arrived at the Yasi.

At this moment, his face was magnificent, the green tendons on his forehead were bulging, and his fists were clenched.

It was also the first time for Wu Zhi to see Shen Fang like this, so he couldn't help but be frightened, and hurriedly asked:

"What discovery?"

Shen Fang paused word by word, gritted his teeth and said:

"I've found the missing beggars!"

"Oh! That's a good thing! “

Wu Zhi's expression lit up, and he didn't know why Shen Fang wanted to behave like this.

Shen Fang didn't say anything, his expression was still the same.

Seeing this, Wu Zhi also sensed that something was wrong, and asked:

"Where?"

"My lord, come with me!"

~~~~~~~

The secret passage under the burned bookstore is very long, about a thousand feet long, and after a few days, Shen Fang will walk here after the next duty every day, and the hard work pays off, and the trace is finally found after a few days.

As he expected, the destroyed passages were indeed related to the missing beggars, just in front of him. But it's so outrageous, and along with it a terrifying discovery.

"Here?"

Wu Zhi looked at the courtyard in front of him and asked Shen Fang uncertainly.

"Hmm"

After Shen Fang responded, Shen Zhixin went forward to check the situation.

"There doesn't seem to be anyone here!"

The father of the Shen family jumped into the treetops at the gate of the courtyard to watch, and then glanced at Wu Zhi, and when the head of the department was still struggling with whether to break into the house, he fell into the courtyard and opened the courtyard door.

Although the government is an official government, such an action also requires a book, and the discipline of the scholar worries Wu Zhi about this matter.

The door opened, and Wu Zhi took the lead in entering.

The courtyard was empty, as if it had not been inhabited for a long, long time, with rotten leaves scattered all over the periphery, and cobwebs in the corners.

"Are you sure it's here?"

Wu Zhi once again expressed his suspicious opinion.

"Hmm"

Shen Fang responded in a nasal voice, bypassing Daddy, Wu Zhen, and pushing open the door of the side wing.

The chamber was also covered with dust.

"Are you sure it's here, although we are official families, we can't forcibly break into people's houses at will, and I haven't written the document yet......

Wu Zhi kept chattering, trying to clarify Shen Fang's concept of being a family person.

"Here!"

Shen Fang's right eye was hot, and then he interrupted Wu Zhen's chatter.

Today was the second time he had used the power of his right eye, which was shorter than before, but this precious moment had allowed him to develop the ability to see it at a glance in the past few days.

With just a glance, he could see through the layout of the room.

In the corner of the dusty bed was a cyan porcelain vase, which was also covered with dust.

Shen Fang gently turned the cyan porcelain bottle.

"Boom~"

There was a loud bang, and a secret passage in the corner of the wall fell into the eyes of the three people.

Shen Zhixin, Wu Zhi was stunned, there was really a problem with the relationship here.

"Be careful, follow me!"

Shen Fang took out the fire fold in his arms, lit the coal lamp behind him, and took the lead in the secret passage with the lamp in his hand.

The secret passage steps down and are hidden between the walls.

"Good fellow, such a thick wall, I didn't even notice it just now!"

Wu Zhi sighed, and at the same time lit a coal lamp, sandwiched between the father and son of the Shen family, and entered the secret passage.

Whether there is danger or not, it must be safest to be caught in the middle.

…………

The secret passage is very dark, but fortunately it is not long.

In less than ten breaths, the secret passage came to an end, and the end should be a dark room.

"What a taste, whine~"

Wu Zhi covered his mouth and forcibly endured his vomiting.

The dark room is huge, about half the size of the yard, and the three coal lamps are not enough to light up the entire dark room.

Compared to Wu Zhi, Shen Zhixin was suddenly sluggish, and the eyesight of the martial artist of the Four Realms was enough for him to secretly see the situation in the entire dark room, and now he finally knew why Shen Fang was so angry.

"Quick! Fast! There are lights here."

Wu Zhi shouted at the father and son of the Shen family, as the head of the department, it was not his style to do it himself.

However, the father and son of the Shen family did not move when they heard the sound, and they did not wait for the two people around them to move, and Wu Zhi couldn't help but feel resentful.

Since Shen Fang did to catch fast, his status in the Yasi seems to have plummeted, there was only one Shen Fang before, and now even Shen Zhixin no longer attaches importance to his orders.

"Damn it!"

While scolding from the bottom of his heart, Wu Zhi could only find a few coal lamps one by one and light them up.

As the coal lamps were lit one after another, the expression on Wu Zhi's face became more and more solemn.

The media lamp was more than half lit, and the room was already clear, Wu Zhi gave up continuing to light the coal lamp, and walked towards the place where the Shen family father and son were looking.

"Are these the missing beggars?"

Wu Zhi trembled, not knowing whether it was fear or anger.

"Hmm!"

Shen Fangying, although he had seen it once with his right eye, it was just a glimpse of Jin Hong, and now he was indeed standing here, and his heart was even more sad and angry.

Shen Zhixin, as a martial artist, could accurately feel the terrifying killing intent emanating from his son's body, but he didn't know that the killing intent emanating from his body was no less than Shen Fang.

"Damn! Animal ~ Raw! ”

Wu Zhi had tears in the corners of his eyes, he had been an official for more than ten years, and he had never been so angry.

In fact, the courtyard above the secret room did not need to be smaller, but a corner had been filled with dense skeletons, which made Wu Zhi feel that it was only the size of half a courtyard before.

The innermost one turned into a skeleton, and slowly the outer skeleton became more and more flesh and blood.

The outermost ones can be called corpses, and the clothes on these corpses can also be checked, ragged and dirty.

Who else could there be but those missing beggars?

These beggars died in a strange state, their skin was dry, and only skin and bones remained, and they looked extremely terrifying.

"How did you die?"

Wu Zhi finally calmed down the anger in his heart and asked the two people beside him.

"It's not a natural death, it's like having been drained of blood!"

Shen Fang replied in a cold voice.

"Hmmm! It is true that he was drained of blood and died, so although the smell of rot is there, it is not enough to flow outside! ”

Shen Zhixin added, and then said:

"I remembered something!"

Hearing this, Shen Fang, and Wu Zhi asked one after another:

"What?"

"It is rumored that there is an evil art in the Wu clan in the land of Hanzhou, which sucks people's blood and qi, and uses this to improve their own cultivation, so the Wu clan was driven to the cold continent in the extreme north by Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism thousands of years ago, and all the books that record this kind of evil art are destroyed! Now I'm afraid that someone has found this kind of book and has been cultivating for many years! ”

After Shen Zhixin finished speaking, Wu Zhi muttered:

"Is it Su Yuzhou?"

"Maybe it may or may not be, look over there, my lord."

Shen Fang's words fell, pointed into the distance, and then lowered his eyebrows and pondered.

Hearing this, Wu Zhi Shen Fang was counting on it.

"It looks so familiar!"

Wu Zhi approached, looked at the more than ten wooden boxes in front of him and thought for a low price.

As Wu Zhi opened one of the wooden boxes, the whole person was stunned in place and muttered:

"How is this possible!"

At this moment, he finally knew why he felt so familiar when he saw the wooden box.

Shen Zhixin was also stunned at the moment.

However, he quickly reacted and immediately opened the remaining wooden boxes one by one.

After opening four or five in a row, Shen Zhixin stopped continuing to open the box and looked towards Wu Zhi, not knowing why.

Wu Zhi sat on the ground in a dejected manner, looked at Shen Fang and said in a deep voice:

"How did you find out!"

These wooden boxes are the gold and silver antiquities that the Qin family was robbed before.

It's just that it has been taken away by the imperial court? Why is it here?

Shen Fang didn't answer Wu Zhi's question, and it was impossible for his right eye to be exposed, so he simply remained silent.

It took more than half an hour for the three of them to scrutinize the entire secret room.

In addition to the corpses of more than 100 beggars and the gold and silver antiquities that the Qin family had robbed, there were also tens of thousands of taels worth of gold and silver.

At the same time, a secret passage was discovered, but it was blocked after only walking more than 100 meters, which should be the secret passage leading to the previous bookstore.

"My lord, what now?"

The three of them sat stunned, the smell of the corpse as if it were nothing.

"Yes! What should I do? ”

Wu Zhi was at a loss, the letters written to the county town were all robbed, and the things taken away by the imperial court dared to swallow them, is the person behind the scenes really Su Yuzhou?

With such ambition and doing so much, Su Yuzhou is willing to meet death?

It's just that it's not Su Yuzhou, is it a ghost knife?

Is the ghost knife the real person behind the scenes?

"Shen Fang, prepare for a while, and send me to the county town to each other!"

After a long time, Wu Zhi finally came up with a way, maybe only in this way can he ensure that the county can really get the news!
