Chapter 834: A Row of Footprints
This secret passage is just behind the Bogu Frame.
The butler stepped forward and spun the mechanism, and a slight mechanical click sounded in the room.
Then, a secret passage that only allowed one person to pass through appeared in front of Chu Ze.
"That's it." The housekeeper stepped back.
Chu Ze looked at this secret passage and asked, "Who knows about this secret passage?" ”
"Just us and the prince."
The housekeeper is the old man by Zhu Hu's side, and he is deeply trusted by Zhu Hu.
Even this secret passage was supervised by him with his henchmen.
After the construction was completed, these people were sent to various places.
No one will know unless someone gets their hands on the map.
The housekeeper thought about it, looked at Chu Ze seriously, and said, "Could it be that the prince suspects that the fifth prince of our family has been kidnapped?" "And it's this secret passage that I walked through, directly entered their prince's room, and kidnapped people??
Chu Ze shook his head and didn't answer.
How Zhu Hu disappeared, he is not sure now.
He only went into the secret passage.
Maybe this can give him the answer.
When the housekeeper saw Chu Ze enter, he stood at the door for a while, and followed without hesitation.
It was very dark in the secret passage, Chu Ze was standing at the door, and was about to turn around to get the candle, when a dim light appeared from behind him, and gradually approached, dispelling the darkness in front of him.
Chu Ze turned around and saw the housekeeper standing behind him with a candle.
Seeing that it was him, Chu Ze withdrew his gaze.
He looked deeper and asked, "Where does it lead?" ”
"Backyard."
The housekeeper crossed Chu Ze and walked in first.
Chu Ze followed him and walked inside.
They didn't walk fast, and Chu Ze observed the surroundings as he walked.
There was nothing in the secret passage, so empty that you could hear your own heart, and the sound of footsteps echoed so loudly that your eardrums hurt.
Again, there are no clues.
As the butler said, the exit to the secret passage was in an abandoned house in the backyard, which had been uncleaned for many years, and a thick layer of dust had fallen on the ground.
A row of footprints appeared in front of Chu Ze and them.
The housekeeper was surprised: "Lord Wang, there are footprints here!" ”
Chu Ze also saw it.
He let out an "um" and walked over, looking down at the footprints on the ground.
"Why is there only one row?" Chu Ze raised his head and looked at the end of the footprints, then looked at the exit of the secret passage, and silently added the next sentence in his heart, and only those who went out, not those who came in.
It's weird.
It can't be Zhu Hu who went out by himself, right?
That's.
The man couldn't move at all, he couldn't even get up.
How is it possible to stand up and walk?
And it's come to this point.
Chu Ze glanced back again, and silently estimated the distance between here and Zhu Hu's room in his heart.
They walked in the secret passage for about ten minutes.
Can a seriously injured bedridden patient walk so far alone?
If someone else brought it out, then ...... How did the man get here?
In the midst of the lightning, Chu Ze immediately asked the housekeeper: "Have there been any suspicious people coming in the mansion in the past few days?" ”
Suspicious people?
The butler thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Nope."
"Are there any strangers in the house? For example, the maid who bought it in recent days or something? Chu Ze shook his head again after speaking.
The secret passage in Zhu Hu's room was related to his life.
Except for himself, only the housekeeper knew about the entire Zhou Palace.
There is no reason for him to expose such a big secret to an outsider who doesn't know the roots.
Unless he feels the fear for his life.
So, the question goes back to the first one - who is the person who kidnapped Zhu Hu, and how did he get in?
Chu Ze thought about it for a while, but didn't figure it out.
I just didn't want to.
When he catches it, everything will be understood.
Without waiting for the housekeeper to say anything, Chu Ze immediately ordered: "The fifth child is very dangerous now, you immediately send someone to the prefect's yamen, and let Yu Min put all the gates of Hengyang under martial law and strictly investigate the people who leave the city." Also, send additional manpower to search for the traces of Lao Wu throughout the city. ”
As long as the man is still in the city, he will not believe that he will not be able to find it.
When the butler heard this, he also realized the urgency of the matter.
didn't have time to think about anything, and the housekeeper immediately sent someone to inform Yu Min.
By the way, all the soldiers of the Zhou Palace's palace were transferred out to find someone.
Chu Ze was still in the small courtyard, and his eyes still fell on those footprints.
For some reason, these footprints always made him feel uneasy.
It felt like stepping on a pile of wriggling snakes with pointed feet, smooth and soft, and it was creepy.
The more he looked at it, the cooler Chu Ze's heart became.
Suddenly, it was as if something had been poked in his head, and the layer of paper that had been covering his perception shattered.
The things behind the paper immediately came to mind.
Chu Ze stood up suddenly, and the blood on his face faded in an instant.
The butler next to him was taken aback.
"What's wrong?" The butler looked at him blankly, and then at the footprints on the ground.
What's wrong with this footprint?
Obviously, Chu Ze's attitude just now was not like this.
Why did you suddenly change your face?
Without waiting for him to think about it, Chu Ze ran out. While running, Chu Ze shouted loudly: "Quick, go find Wan Kaiji!" ”
This dog thing, it must be him!
Chu Ze quickly snatched out of the Zhou Palace.
Zhao Si hurriedly led people to catch up.
Now, the prince is missing, and the housekeeper is also anxious, and there is no way to stay here.
And looking at Chu Ze's appearance, it is clear that there are clues.
He's going to have to follow anyway.
Chu Ze left the Zhou Palace, and went straight to the place where Wan Kaiji was.
Generally speaking, the imperial doctor will be in the pharmacy during the day.
It is not until things are done that they return to their temporary place of residence to rest.
And in normal times, you have to be busy with things, at least until you accept the traces of human determination. At this time, it was just dark, and the person should be in the medicine house.
Chu Ze took people and went straight to the medicine house.
Zhu Fan and Yu Min, who received the news, also came.
He was accompanied by Li Xing, who had just returned from the riverside.
Zhu Rong's face was extremely unhappy at this time.
The face was densely covered with the words "to kill".
He jumped off his horse and strode towards Chu Ze, and his low tone was about to rain: "Do you suspect that it is Wan Kaiji?" But we sent someone to check before, and he hasn't moved in the past few days, and he hasn't left today. ”
There are both human and material evidence.
Otherwise, Wan Kaiji would not have survived at all.
Chu Ze's footsteps didn't stop, he strode in, and his speech became fast because he was in a hurry, and drifted into their ears along the night wind: "If he doesn't move, can't he find a helper?" ”
Zhu Fan was stunned, and a blank look flashed on his face.
What kind of helper does this Wan Kaiji have to find to take away a prince in the palace and under his nose?
When Zhu Fan heard this, he felt like laughing.
It's just whimsical.
But he knew that Chu Ze never said something that he was not sure of, unless he was not sure either.
can see Chu Ze's determined attitude, and it is clear that there is evidence.
Is it really a thousand open doors?
This kid is so good at acting, he actually deceived them all??
Zhu Fan was shocked.
Striding forward.
He wanted to see how this Wan Kaiji deceived them. (End of chapter)
