A gold nugget the size of half a palm appeared in He Wen's palm.

Ye Qing looked inquiringly at the bright eyes.

He Wen stuffed the gold into Ye Qing's arms and continued to walk forward:

"You and I came from humble backgrounds and have taken official careers, even if we want to be honest and honest officials for the people, we must have money in our hands."

"You need money to work up and down, you need money to mingle with your colleagues, you need money to refuse corruption, and you have to have money to not waver in your heart."

"The money is not coming from the right source, the amount is unknown, there is no way to verify, let's take some of it."

"If the case is solved, the prefect will reward us with some."

Speaking of this, He Wen turned his head towards Ye Qing and smiled:

"If we die, the prefect will find our corpses."

"If the gold in my arms is still there, the prefect will also hand it over to our family."

"Thank you!" The simple but heavy words came out of Ye Qing's mouth.

He put away the gold, and said secretly in his heart with a piercing look in his eyes: "This gold will definitely be brought out alive." ”

Out of this secret room, the secret passage for only two people to walk together was restored in front of him.

The two of them walked forward for a while, and as soon as they walked out of their thirties, there was a dull sound of footsteps behind them.

Ye Qing turned his head sharply and looked at it vigilantly.

"He Wen, Ye Qing, you wait for me!"

A rough voice echoed through the secret passage.

Ye Qing immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at Yan San, who was covered in blood, as if bathed in blood, and asked with concern:

"Brother Yan, are you injured?"

Yan San slowed down, looked at the blood-colored pendant on his body, and said nonchalantly:

"Hey, it's all those people, but there's too much blood spurted, and a lot of it nourishes me."

"The entrance has been blocked with corpses."

"They poured fire oil on them and burned the corpses, and they didn't send them for a while."

"I'll come looking for you."

"Did you find something?"

"When I was passing by, I saw a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, did you take it?"

"I've got some, do you want them?"

Between words.

Yan San pinched a fleshy eyeball from his shoulder.

The two fingers are combined.

Burst!

A slight popping sound appears.

It's bursting!

Then, Yan San took out a handful of bloody gold and gems from his arms with the big hand of the bloody hulaci.

The corners of Ye Qing's mouth twitched, he turned around silently, and continued to walk forward with He Wen.

"Hey, are you talking?"

Yan San saw that the two ignored him, and opened his mouth to ask.

He Wen took out two pieces of gold from his arms and handed them to Yan Sandao: "Brother Yan, you take the things first, and we'll divide them when we go out." ”

Seeing this, Ye Qing also took out the gold and gave it to Yan San.

Yan San, who was upright, took on coolly:

"Cheng, let's go out and share the spoils again."

"I knew you had brought this little thing, I just took some more."

After speaking, Yan San was moved and turned his head to look behind him.

He Wen stopped:

"Don't go back, let's go find out first."

"In addition, Brother Yan, you are very skilled, if you really have to do it."

"Leave me alone, rush out and give this gold and silver to our families."

Suddenly.

Yan San was honest and didn't speak again, just patted his bulging belly.

About half an hour passed.

The secret passage came to an abrupt end, and a stone wall appeared in front of me, which was a dead end.

He Wen looked moved, his eyes bright, and he quickly looked around.

When you see the ground.

He Wen hurriedly handed over the torch.

A foot bone connected to the sole of the foot appeared in the eyes of the three people.

"The secret passage should have been no one coming in since the Zijin Ding was lost."

"Come to think of it, this should be left by the murderer."

"It seems that this wall is a defense mechanism inside the secret passage."

"Touched by someone, falling from above, this murderer was crushed to the leg."

"I don't know if the murderer cut off his leg to survive, or died."

He Wen took out a black handkerchief from his arms, wrapped it around his leg bone, and carefully examined the jagged fracture by the light of the torch.

Ye Qing said: "There is a blockade in the back, the road ahead is blocked, and there is no mechanism to remove this blockade......"

Before he finished speaking, Ye Qing looked at Yan San, who was like a bloody man behind him.

He got out of the way and spoke:

"With Brother Yan here, I think we don't need to find a mechanism to get rid of this boulder."

He Wen, who threw away the broken bones casually, also said with great certainty:

"Indeed, with Brother Yan here, there is no need to waste your brain at all."

"The white marble bricks that are so thick have been smashed, and the texture of this stone wall is not as hard as the white marble bricks."

"Brother Yan's two or three punches."

Yan San, who was praised, had some blood on his body that had turned into a scab, and as his chest was raised, some fell off.

He said heroically:

"Leave it to us, you stand behind us, and watch us smash this broken wall!"

Bang bang bang!

Loud noises in a continuous manner.

Let He Wen and Ye Qing both turn pale, and look at the top of their heads worriedly, afraid that the secret passage would not be able to withstand Yan San's terrifying and strange power, and it would collapse and bury them.

Whoa!

There is a loud sound of falling rubble.

The half-foot-thick stone wall that blocked the way disappeared.

The joy on the faces of the three of them just leaked out.

The light of the torches allowed them to see another stone wall three feet away.

Suddenly, the expressions of the three of them froze.

Yan San stepped forward with an unhappy face and said:

"His grandmother's, is this a nesting doll?"

"Smash a wall, come again, endlessly, right~"

He lifted his foot to kick the rubble around him away, trying to find a place where he could stand and exert his strength.

When Chang~

Unlike the crisp sound of the stone, the three of them heard it.

Curious, Yan San bent down and picked up what he had been kicked by the gravel.

Call~

A sharp blow blows, and dust flies.

A delicate artifact carved with a dragon pattern appeared in the eyes of the three of them.

The restrained purple gold light, with three legs and two ears, and a foot high, indicated its identity to the three of them.

He Wenxi couldn't help but say: "Zijin Ding! ”

Yan San handed the things to He Wen and grinned:

"Good fellow, this tripod is hidden between these two stone walls."

Ye Qing, who looked down at the gravel under his feet, said:

"You see, the bones here don't have heads."

"I think it was the murderer who stole the Zijin Ding, and was killed by two stone walls that fell at the same time."

"That's why Zijin Ding was left here."

He Wen, who had seen the pattern of the Zijin tripod, determined that the style on the tripod in his hand was exactly the same as the pattern, and it was what they were tracking.

Bright eyes, shining with joy.

He looked at the stone wall and excitedly said:

"Zitian Zhenren, they must know that Zijin Ding is here, but they let it stay here."

"I think there are people from the imperial court in Chaotian Palace, and the mechanism of the entrance and exit of the secret passage has been destroyed."

"If you open this secret passage, you will definitely make a lot of noise, and you will be startled."

"That's why it's cheaper."

"All we need to do is break through the stone wall, and then we might be able to reach the exit of the secret passage."

"Brother Fang Caiyan said that those people burned the corpses, it seems that they wanted to block the intersection of the Sanqing Palace."

"They should be stuck at the exit of the secret passage now, waiting for us to get out."

Speaking of this, He Wen, who was not panicked at all, had a relaxed smile on his face, and he grinned:

"Just now they do it, it will definitely alarm the people of the court."

"Even if we don't go out, I think someone will rescue them soon."

The next moment.

He Wen and Ye Qing's expressions became strange.

Ye Qing opened his mouth to express the doubts in the hearts of the two.

"Brother He, doesn't that mean that we made a mistake in our previous inference."

"Zi Tianzhen is a person from the imperial court, and he only noticed the existence of the secret passage not long ago."

"But he couldn't pass on the news, and it happened that we came to investigate the case, so he guided us to search the secret passage?"
