This secret passage is just behind the Bogu Frame.

The housekeeper stepped forward and turned the mechanism, and a slight mechanical click sounded in the room.

Then, a secret passage that only allowed one person to pass appeared in front of Chu Ze.

"That's it." The butler 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 an old man next to Zhu Rui and is deeply trusted by Zhu Rui.

Even this secret passage was supervised by him and his confidants.

After the construction was completed, these people were assigned to various places.

No one would know unless someone got the map.

The housekeeper thought, looked at Chu Ze seriously, and said, "Did the prince suspect that the fifth prince of our family had been kidnapped?" Moreover, he took this secret passage, entered their prince's room directly, and kidnapped the person. of? ?

Chu Ze shook his head and did not answer.

He is still not sure how Zhu Ru disappeared.

He only went into the secret passage.

Maybe this can give him the answer.

When the housekeeper saw Chu Ze entering, he stood briefly at the door and followed him without looking back.

It was very dark in the secret passage. Chu Ze stood at the door and was about to turn around to get the candle. A dim yellow light appeared from behind him and gradually approached, dispelling the darkness in front of him.

Chu Ze turned around and saw the butler standing behind him holding a candle.

Seeing that it was him, Chu Ze looked away.

He looked deeper and asked, "Where does it lead?"

"backyard."

The housekeeper passed Chu Ze and walked in first.

Chu Ze followed him and walked inside.

They were not walking fast, and Chu Ze looked around while walking.

There is nothing in the secret passage. It is so empty that you can hear your own heart. The sound of footsteps echoes so loudly that it hurts your eardrums.

Again, no clues.

As the housekeeper said, the exit of the secret passage is in an abandoned house in the backyard. This place has not been cleaned all year round, and a thick layer of dust has fallen on the ground.

A row of footprints appeared in front of Chu Ze and the others.

The butler said in surprise: "Your Majesty, there are footprints here!"

Chu Ze also saw it.

He said "hmm" 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 there were only people going out, not coming in.

It’s weird.

It couldn't be that Zhu Ru walked out on his own, right?

That's too ridiculous.

The man couldn't move at all, not even get up.

How is it possible to stand up and walk?

And still come this far.

Chu Ze glanced back again and silently estimated the distance between here and Zhu Xi's room.

They walked in the secret passage for about ten minutes.

How could a seriously injured bedridden patient walk so far alone?

If someone else brought him out, then... how did that person get in here?

In the flash of lightning, Chu Ze immediately asked the housekeeper: "Has anyone been suspicious of the house in the past few days?"

Suspicious person?

The butler thought for a moment and shook his head.

"No."

"Are there any strangers entering the house? For example, the maids and servants purchased in recent days?" Chu Ze shook his head again after speaking.

The secret passage in Zhu Zhu's room is related to his life.

Apart from himself, only the housekeeper in the entire Zhou Palace knew about it.

There was no reason for him to expose such a major secret to an outsider who didn't know the root cause.

Unless he feels that his life is in danger.

So, the question goes back to the first one - who is the person who kidnapped Zhu Zhu and how did he get in?

Chu Ze thought for a moment and didn't figure it out. Simply don’t think about it anymore.

When he catches it, he will understand everything.

Without waiting for the housekeeper to say anything, Chu Ze immediately ordered: "Lao Wu is in danger now. You immediately send someone to the magistrate's office and ask Yu Min to put all the gates of Hengyang City under security and strictly check those who leave the city. Also, send more people, Search the whole city for traces of Lao Wu.”

As long as the person is still in the city, he doesn't believe he can't be found.

When the housekeeper heard this, he also realized the urgency of the matter.

Before he could think of anything, the housekeeper immediately sent someone to notify Yu Min.

By the way, all the soldiers from Prince Zhou's Mansion were sent out to look for people.

Chu Ze was still in the small courtyard, his eyes still falling on those footprints.

For some reason, these footprints always made him feel uneasy.

It felt like stepping on a bunch of squirming snakes with your pointed feet. It was smooth and soft, making people's hair stand on end.

The more he looked at it, the colder Chu Ze's heart became.

Suddenly, something seemed to poke him in his mind, and the layer of paper that had been covering his perception shattered with a "poof".

The things behind the paper immediately came to my eyes.

Chu Ze stood up abruptly, the blood draining from his face and eyes instantly.

The butler next to him was startled.

"What, what's wrong?" The housekeeper looked at him blankly, then looked 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 his expression change suddenly?

Before he could think about it, Chu Zepao ran out. While running, Chu Ze shouted loudly: "Quick, go find Wan Kaiji!"

This bitch must be him!

Chu Ze quickly rushed out of Prince Zhou's Mansion.

Zhao Si quickly led people to catch up.

Now, the prince is missing and the housekeeper is very worried. There is no way he can stay here.

And looking at Chu Ze's appearance, he clearly has a clue.

He had to follow anyway.

Chu Ze left Zhou Prince's Mansion and went straight to where Wan Kaiji was.

Generally speaking, the imperial doctor would be in the medicine house during the day.

Until things are done, he will return to his temporary residence to rest.

But in ordinary times, if you have to finish your work, you have to at least wait until you receive the sign of human determination. It was just getting dark at this time, and people should also be in the medicine house.

Chu Ze led the people and went straight to Yaolu.

Zhu Fang and Yu Min also came after receiving the news.

Also accompanying him was Li Xing, who had just returned from the river.

Zhu Ping's face looked extremely unhappy at this time.

The words "want to kill" were written all over his face.

He jumped off his horse, strode towards Chu Ze, and said in a low tone: "Do you suspect it is Wan Kaiji? But we sent people to check before, and he has not moved in the past few days, and he has not left today."

The witnesses and physical evidence are all there.

Otherwise, Wan Kaiji would not be alive now.

Chu Ze kept walking and strode in. His words became fast due to his anxiety and drifted into their ears along the night wind: "If he doesn't move, why can't he find help?"

Zhu Xi was startled, and a look of confusion flashed across his face.

What kind of helper should Wan Kaiji find to take away a prince in the palace and under his nose?

Zhu Xi felt like laughing when he heard this.

This is simply whimsical.

But he knew that Chu Ze never said anything that he was not sure about, unless he was not sure about it either.

But looking at Chu Ze's determined attitude, there is clearly evidence.

Is it really Wan Kaiji?

This kid is so good at acting, he actually deceived them all? ?

Zhu Ming was shocked.

He strode forward to catch up.

He wanted to see how Wan Kaiji deceived them. (End of chapter)
