Chapter 49 The Shrine of the State Capital

Lu Qu walked into this study again, but he still couldn't see anything strange.

The display is very simple, there are only three rows of bookshelves, on which are placed books, ornaments, boxes, these items he has taken down, and they are all very ordinary things.

There is a tea table in front, three stools, and a tea stove for boiling water.

Wu Feng looked at these bookshelves, there were traces of movement, and it was obvious that Lu Qu had searched for these bookshelves.

He walked to the side of the wall, knocked lightly, and could not hear any hollow sound, and from the outside of the study, he could see that the structure of the entire study was very clear, and there could be no more than one part, so it was easy to think that if there was a place to hide something, it must be underground.

He searched each stone slab one by one, and then lay on the ground and listened, but found nothing.

But his instincts told him that there must be something they were looking for, and Jia Wensong's reaction told him that the answer would be found here.

The two glanced at each other, and Lu Qu nodded. Originally, they didn't want other people to get involved, but according to the current situation, the study must be cleaned up, so it is inevitable that Cui Zhenhai will also receive news.

There is no way, finding things now is the most important thing, Wu Feng called the soldiers and moved all the things in the study out.

They watched as the things in the study were emptied little by little, and they couldn't see anything out of the ordinary.

At this time, a soldier shouted, "Damn, a broken stove is buried in stone bricks, come here, help me move it out together." ”

The two turned around suddenly, and Wu Feng waved his hand, "Slow!" ”

He cautiously walked to the side of the tea stove and carefully observed the structure of the tea stove.

This tea stove is made of stone bricks, and the stone bricks on the ground are almost integrated, as if it is placed firmly on the floor, if you don't move it, it is difficult to find that the stone bricks next to it are pressed on the bottom of the tea stove, which is obviously a bit unreasonable.

Wu Feng stood up straight, turned his head to look at Lu Qu's solemn expression, and nodded imperceptibly.

Lu Qu waved his hand and said expressionlessly, "Okay, don't move here, you all go down!" ”

As the saying goes, what are you afraid of, at this time, Cui Zhenhai walked in with tiger steps, he spun around, full of doubts, "Lord Lu, what's the matter?" Is there anything unusual here? ”

Lu Qu took a deep breath and looked at Cui Zhenhai, "Just now, I went with Master Wu to interrogate Jia Wensong, and learned from his unintentional revelation that there seemed to be some secrets in his study, so we thought about coming in to check it out, but we couldn't see anything abnormal, so we asked the soldiers to empty this place to see if they could find anything." ”

Then he pointed to the tea stove, "until I found this tea stove, which was embedded in the stone slab." ”

"Oh?" Hearing Lu Qu's words, Cui Zhenhai walked to the side of the tea stove, and tried to move it with both hands, but he didn't pull out the stove at all, and he also felt the abnormality of the stove.

Now that the anomaly has been discovered, it is easy to find the location of the mechanism, and Wu Feng is an expert in this, he has already discovered the location of the opening mechanism.

Seeing Lu Qu's ugly face, he was also unhappy, but Cui Zhenhai had already found out that it was impossible to skip him again, he could only pretend to grope and gently press his hand on the stove to the point of dust, but the imaginary movement did not appear.

"Huh? There's no sound of the mechanism opening?! He couldn't hide it anymore, and looked around the room.

Lu Qu and the others looked at him strangely, "Lord Wu, did you find anything?" ”

Wu Feng shook his head, his face full of incredulity, "Impossible, I pressed the mechanism inside the tea stove, but there is not the slightest movement here, what's going on?" ”

Cui Zhenhai saw that what Wu Feng said was serious, and when he leaned down to the bottom of the tea stove to see, there was indeed a small bulge underneath, he put his hand in it, and pressed it lightly, and the bulge was pressed down instantly.

He got up and looked around, but didn't see any movement. "That's weird, isn't the agency in this room?"

Wu Feng heard his muttering, slapped his clenched left fist with his right hand, and then walked out of the study quickly, pushed the door and entered the bedroom next to him.

Lu Qu and the two glanced at each other, and then walked out of here.

When he came to Lu Qu's bedroom, he saw Wu Feng standing in front of the bed, and a square hole had been opened on the side of the bed.

The hole has a side length of about one meter, and the inside is made of wooden frames in the shape of four lattices.

Wu Feng pulled out of bed and approached the small dark niche.

On the upper left are some letters, on the upper right are a stack of silver tickets, on the lower left are some deeds and an account book, and on the lower right are two bronze and jade tokens.

The copper token is engraved with the word "tiger", and the jade token is engraved with the word "Jia".

The three of them glanced at each other, and their hearts were mixed.

Cui Zhenhai thought, "It turns out that there is a bigger secret here!" ”

Wu Feng thought, "Originally, the secrets of the two people, but now with Cui Zhenhai's intervention, they can only be handed over." ”

Lu Qu thought, "Finally let me find it, but the two of them also know, it seems that they can only do business." ”

Wu Feng picked up the letters in the upper left corner and looked at Lu Qu and the others, "Do we want to read these letters?" ”

Lu Qu naturally wanted to see it, if Cui Zhenhai wasn't here, the two of them would have picked it up and read it a long time ago, but now they had to consider other factors, "General Cui, what do you mean?" ”

Although Cui Zhenhai is a straight person, after all, he was born in the Guogong Mansion, and he has been exposed to the collusion between these officials since he was a child.

He also inherited Qingguogong's excellent quality of "I don't understand small things, don't be confused about big things", and seeing that both of them looked at him, he had no choice but to express his attitude, "According to General Ben's meaning, let's not think it's good, save some unnecessary trouble!" As long as we hand it over to the imperial court, I believe Your Majesty will have a plan! ”

Seeing Lu Qu's solemn face, he didn't know what he was thinking, so he added, "Besides, isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Jiayuan?" We can directly hand it over to His Highness to deal with! ”

The corners of Lu Qu's eyes trembled slightly, he really forgot that Xiao Zheng was currently in Liangzhou.

Wu Feng saw that he couldn't change the facts, Lu Qu was still hesitating, and hurriedly expressed his attitude at the moment, "What General Cui said is yes, His Highness is in Liangzhou, and it is more appropriate to leave this matter to His Highness to deal with, what does Lord Lu think?" ”

Hearing Wu Feng's reminder, Lu Qu also came to his senses instantly, "What the two adults said is that since this is the case, then let General Cui keep these letters, and then directly show them to His Highness." ”

Since it was a foregone conclusion, Lu Qu simply gritted his teeth and didn't look at it, and handed it over to Cui Zhenhai directly, which could also show his trust in him.

Cui Zhenhai did not hesitate, and directly took the letter in Wu Feng's hand and put it into his arms.

Then looking at the other things in the dark alcove, they took it out and counted "more than three million taels of silver tickets, more than a dozen grain store deeds and account books, plus two tokens that I don't know what they represented." ”

"These things are all physical evidence, I think it's better for Lord Lu to keep them." They have no interest in these intuitive things, that is, they have more incriminating evidence.

Lu Qu put away these things expressionlessly, he was very depressed in his heart, and all his anger was sprinkled on the curse of Jia Wensong, "I want to see what else this shameless Jia Wensong has to say, hum!" ”

Lu Qu, with an angry face, walked towards the firewood room where Jia Wensong was being held.

The remaining two looked at each other, and wanted to hear what Jia Wensong had to say now, so they followed closely with their hands in their hands.

Lu Qu pushed open the door of the firewood room and looked at Jia Wensong angrily, "Letters, silver tickets, account books, tokens!" Say, what secrets do you have! ”

The moment Lu Qu pushed the door in, Jia Wensong knew that the secret had been discovered, and when he heard Lu Qu's words, he completely let go of his luck. Seeing the two people who followed behind, and Lu Qu's angry expression, he suddenly leaned forward and laughed, "Hahaha~"

Lu Qu was laughing at him for no reason, and asked with a blue face, "What are you laughing at?!" ”

After a while, Jia Wensong stopped laughing, "Oops~ Lu Qu, Lu Qu, I said why are you so angry, it turned out that you wanted to monopolize these secrets and didn't succeed, and you were annoyed and angry, hahaha~" Speaking of this, he started laughing again.

Lu Qu's eyes widened, and he pointed his finger at Jia Wensong, "You fart!" This official is so angry because he hates you, a corrupt official who destroys human nature! What you have done has failed the people of Liangzhou, the cultivation of the imperial court, and even more so the trust of Your Majesty in you! Do you still want to fight it today? I advise you to tell the truth quickly, so that you will not suffer any flesh and skin! ”

Jia Wensong shook his head and wiped away the tears that he shed because he didn't know whether it was because of laughter or guilt, "If you want to say that I am most ashamed of my majesty now, it is Your Majesty!" I have indeed betrayed His Majesty's trust in me! ”

After speaking, Jia Wensong leaned his back against the wall, closed his eyes that were still in tears, and never said a word again.

"Since you know that you are ashamed of Your Majesty, then explain all the things you have done over the years!"

Jia Wensong felt as if he was asleep, and he no longer had any reaction.

"Hmph, don't think that if you don't speak, the official can't do anything about you, now that the human and material evidence is complete, you can't escape the death penalty!" With that, he flicked his sleeves and walked out of the firewood room angrily.

Cui Zhenhai looked at him in disgust and walked out with him.

Wu Feng walked slowly to Jia Wensong's side, and asked him softly in a consultative tone, "Can you tell me what those two tokens do?" ”

Jia Wensong slowly opened his eyes, squinted at Wu Feng, and closed them again.

"Does it represent some kind of organization? Or is it a token of something? Wu Feng continued to try to see his reaction.

Jia Wensong already knew how powerful Wu Feng was, and he made up his mind that he would not have any more expressions and continued to sleep.

Wu Feng also felt Jia Wensong's defensiveness against him, he smiled and patted Jia Wensong's shoulder, "It's okay if you don't say it, then I'll dig it out myself!" Hmph~"

Seeing Jia Wensong's eyes tremble, Wu Feng grinned and walked out of the firewood room with a relaxed face!
