After dozens of people carefully searched inch by inch, they still found nothing.

"Master, do you want to disassemble the board bed in room No. 1?"

Xu saw the disappointed look on Wu Zheng's face, and Qin Jinwen, the headcatcher, reminded him flatteringly.

However, it was this reminder that made Wu Zheng suddenly wake up.

The plank bed in the room is not so much a bed as a slightly wider bench. However, unlike the ordinary bench, which has four legs, it is composed of a narrow wooden board that can only accommodate one person lying flat on a rectangular frame made of blue bricks on four sides next to the corner of the wall. Therefore, it is called a plank bed, which is used by candidates to rest at night.

"Dismantle, take off all the bed boards and take a look. ”

Qin Jinwen didn't expect that his flattering words would be approved by Lord Fu Yin, and he immediately put on a flattering smile, nodded and turned around to lead the crowd to check all the rooms from scratch again.

It didn't take much effort for Wu Zheng to hear Qin Jinwen's exclamation.

"Master, master, it's really greasy. ”

When Wu Zheng hurriedly walked over to take a look, he saw a dark hole exposed under the bed board that had just been lifted in front of Qin Jinwen and three or four catchers in the room. Looking at the thickness of the hole, it is enough for an adult to enter and exit freely.

"Let the others continue, and you immediately find the lantern and bring someone down to check it out. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Just as Qin Jinwen turned around to look for the lantern, the same hole was found in three more rooms. If you look closely, you can see that the edges of these openings are very smooth, and it is clear that people are often in and out.

This couldn't help but make Wu Zheng even more curious about where the exit on the other side of the hole that appeared in the Gongyuan room was.

When Qin Jinwen found the lantern, Wu Zheng simply took it. The first one jumped.

Soon after going down, Wu Zheng found several holes connected to the number room on the ground, and instructed Qin Jinwen, who was following behind, to lead people to lift all the bed boards covered by the holes, while he walked all the way along the low passage and the cat's waist.

The passage is not very long, and when it comes to the end, it is roughly estimated that it will be less than half a mile. It's just that. When Wu Zheng pushed open the stone slab covered at the exit and probed out, his mouth suddenly opened wide, and he couldn't close it in surprise for a while.

The passage connecting the number room in the Gongyuan actually goes directly to the back house of the mansion, and the exit is on the landlord's side of the courtyard specially prepared for the mansion Yin, where Wu Zheng has never lived, under a pomegranate tree in front of the window.

It's not that I haven't noticed the bluestone slabs on the ground around this pomegranate tree. Although the ground of the entire mansion is basically paved with green bricks, only this pomegranate tree is surrounded by bluestone slabs, but Wu Zheng didn't think much about it at all.

There is such a secret passage. As long as the students who need care are arranged in the corresponding room during the prefectural or township examination, not to mention secretly handing over materials and books, even if someone is invited to take the test on behalf of the exam, it is impossible to be discovered by the invigilator. After all, the prefectural examination and the township examination are both for three consecutive days, and children or students have to spend two nights in it. In the dead of night, secretly enter the number room through the tunnel, what is it inconvenient to do?

This discovery was nothing more than an unexpected gain, Wu Zheng was originally looking for the Gongyuan who disappeared last night. The whereabouts of the tall and thin man from Fengfu. Therefore, Wu Zheng returned the same way. After believing that there was only the only exit under the pomegranate tree in the back house of the mansion, his heart could no longer be calm.

Could it be that the man was one of the officials who lived in the back of the mansion?

Zhu Hongming, Chu Cunming, and Zhao Jizhen's three families all live here. And what does Wu Zheng think, including Zhu, Chu, and Zhao, none of the three of them match the appearance characteristics of the thin and tall person he saw last night.

Other words. There are only two possibilities for the identity of the person who came through the Gongyuan and the passage of the back house of the government last night. The first is that one of the three people of Zhu, Chu, and Zhao sent to the Feng family, and returned through the secret passage to pass on the words of Feng Nian, the master of the Feng family, to one of the three of Zhu, Chu, and Zhao;

Either way, it's enough to illustrate a point. That is, the thin and tall man who left the Feng family last night was extremely familiar with this tunnel. In other words, it must be familiar with the original Yin Sima Cenji, or simply someone close to him.

After thinking about it carefully, Wu Zheng denied the second possibility.

The reason is that for the sake of his own safety, he easily exposed such a secret passage that could monitor every move of the government at any time, and the forces behind that person would never agree. Wu Zheng didn't believe that the murder of Zhao Linchen's family, as well as the successive strange things that happened in Ruyan Pavilion, were the simple actions of a certain person.

Thinking of this, Wu Zheng began to regret the reckless move of leading the capture and the servants to mobilize the people to search for the Gongyuan.

In this way, it is bound to make the forces hiding in the shadows, which can basically be concluded to be the diamond-shaped mark left by his mother in the small bag on his chest, completely abandon this secret passage connecting the Gongyuan and the government. Invisibly, there will be a great opportunity to capture one of the three officials lurking in the government officials, simply put, Zhu Hongming, Chu Cunming, and Zhao Jizhen.

Zhu Hongming, Chu Cunming, Zhao Jizhen,......。

Wu Zheng silently thought about the usual moves of the three of them, hoping to find clues from them.

Since Zhu Hongming took office, he has been acting decently. He will never ask about things that he should not be in charge of, and he will never shirk his responsibilities for things that should be in charge. Even when you usually speak, it doesn't leak. is like an upright gentleman who is upright and consistent in his words and deeds.

Xuezheng Chu Cunming, the same year of his own, the new science list, except for the last time in the restaurant, he occasionally revealed that he had chosen a side and stood on the side of Prime Minister Jia Yi, the rest of the others had no other abnormal performances. Not only that, but I heard from a group of students in Fuxue that Chu Cunming's reputation is very good.

Zhao Jizhen is even more conscientious. Due to the fact that the former governor Yin Sima Cengji left too many unjust cases and malpractices, although he has not forgotten to sleep and eat since taking office, he has indeed buried his head in countless files and adjudicating cases all day long. Even the time to contact Wu Zheng, the palace yin, is very small.

Wu Zheng, who couldn't find any flaws in the three of them, had to put his mind on Fengfu and Ruyan Pavilion next.

Now that Miss Drunken Shi Jin'er has left, and Miss Yue'er has disappeared, the only thing that can be hoped for is only the bustard in Ruyan Pavilion.

As for the night walkers who appeared in the attic on the top floor at night and deliberately led themselves to Fengfu, Wu Zheng didn't dare to hold any hope. Just that person's light body kung fu of flying eaves and walking on the wall was enough to discourage Wu Zheng.
