Chapter 470 Meeting a Strong Opponent (8)
Ye Hen also thought of this question, he asked: "Any other discoveries?"

Feng Nong said: "The subordinates thought that since Eunuch Wei was contaminated with so much wet mud, he must have walked a long way, so the subordinates walked forward for a long time, only to find a newly opened top exit, which was made with green mud. It was covered by a stone slab, and my subordinate lifted the blue slate to look at it, and determined a location."

"What position?" Baili Changge and Ye Hen asked together.

"Above that exit is the residence of female official Tongshi." Feng Nong hesitated a little.

Tongshi female official, a female official who records the daily life of the emperor and his concubines.I feel that there is nothing to do with Wei Hai's death.

Baili Changge shook his head, "Wei Hai's death should have nothing to do with the female official Tongshi, the exit might have been opened accidentally, or there might be other uses, but we haven't thought of it yet. That's all."

"Miss, in fact, I think it can be understood in this way." Yuan Guanghao looked at the drain opening under the table, "There are two possibilities for the wet mud stained on Eunuch Wei's body to come from the drain. First, he was already in this room , I already knew there was an entrance under the table, so I entered the drain from here, but I encountered something that made him very scary and turned back, and finally died in the corner."

"Secondly, Eunuch Wei was probably hunted down by someone in another place, and then he had no choice but to run along the drainage channel, and then climbed up from this exit, and that person followed him up, forcing him to There was no way to retreat, and eventually died of injuries to his feet."

"There are no footprints of another person on this ground." Baili Changge glanced at the floor and said affirmatively, "So I think it might not be people who frightened Wei Yu so much."

Yuan Guanghao shuddered, "What does Miss mean, are there really ghosts in this world?"

"Where are there so many ghosts?" Baili Changge squinted at him, pursed his lips and said, "I just can't think of it for the time being."

Baili Changge deduced the two situations mentioned by Yuan Guanghao in his mind, but couldn't make any sense of them.

With a flash of inspiration in her mind, she suddenly asked Feng Nong, "You just said that there is a layer of gold floating in the drain, and the beams are often made of brass as gold. Are you sure that thing is gold and not copper?"

Feng Nong shook his head, "This subordinate has never observed carefully."

"How much gold are you talking about?" Baili Changge asked again.

"A lot." Feng Nong recalled: "From here to the residence of female officer Tongshi where I found a new exit, because the water flows slowly, there is a layer of golden things on it."

"I suspect that what you see is not gold, but brass." Baili Chang sang.

"So what if it's copper?" Ye Hen asked.

"I can't think of it for the time being." Baili Changge shook his head, then looked at the sky, and when it was almost Haishi, Baili Changge shouted: "No, the palace gate has been locked."

"You don't have to worry about this." Ye Hen said softly: "This case is very important. Father wants us to investigate around the clock and close the case in the shortest possible time. Just now when Father woke up, someone had arranged a room for us. There is no need to leave the palace tonight."

"I don't care." Baili Changge worried: "But Wei Yu is still outside, besides..." Baili Changge paused, and said sadly: "If the child knows that Wei Hai is dead, maybe How sad it will be."

While the two were talking, a eunuch outside had already delivered an order for everyone to go to the arranged room to rest.

"What should I do?" Baili Changge looked up at Ye Hen, "Do you want to make arrangements for Wei Yu?"

"Then I'll go in person!" Ye Hen made up a reason for the eunuch to take Baili Changge and Yuan Guanghao to go first, while he flew up to the roof in a flash, using lightness kung fu with his toes all the way to the outside of the palace wall However, the imperial guards guarding the palace gate were completely unaware.

Wei Yu has been waiting since the afternoon until now. At night, he only ate two pieces of snacks, and was dizzy from hunger. At this time, he suddenly saw the prince coming out. His eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "My lord, can I go back to the house? Slave Starved to death, huh? Where is Xiaoshizi?"

"Wei Yu..." Ye Hen's face hidden in the dark was a little sad, but Wei Yu didn't notice it.

"What orders does the lord have?" Wei Yu had already jumped down and untied the horse's reins, ready to return home.

"Grandpa Huang is happy tonight, let us stay in the palace, I will not go back." Ye Hen forced a smile, and said: "I have a very important matter for you to do now."

"Oh my lord, this servant is dizzy from hunger and can't do anything." Wei Yu grumbled resentfully.

"It's not tonight." Ye Hen's voice became hoarse, he turned his face to the side, took a deep breath and said slowly: "You go back by yourself later, let the kitchen get what you want to eat, I received a message saying Brother and sister Luo Danxuan and Luo Mingchen were framed in Chuzhou, and now I have no reliable people around me, so I can only send you to protect them. After you go back, take a good rest and leave early tomorrow morning."

"Chuzhou?" Wei Yu was a little surprised that the lord suddenly arranged such a task for him, but he just pondered for a moment, then grinned and said, "No problem." Then he asked Ye Hen, "My lord, have you seen him tonight?" To the slave's uncle?"

Ye Hen pursed his lips, and took a long time to answer: "I see, he misses you very much, let me tell you to be obedient and do things well."

"Hey..." Wei Yu rubbed the back of his head, "My lord, when you go back later, please send a message to the servant, and you just say to let him rest assured that I will bring him a lot of delicious specialties when I come back from Chuzhou. Hey... by the way, my lord, when will the servant come back?"

"Wait for my letter!" Ye Hen said in a low voice, "You must not show up, just protect the brother and sister in secret, and go to the cashier to pay for the money you need."

Wei Yu scratched his head again, he always felt that there was something wrong with the prince tonight, but he couldn't say it for a while, thinking that he was going to such a far place, and he would not see the prince and Miss Changge for a long time, he was cautious He asked calmly, "My lord, but the marriage between Miss Changge and the eldest grandson of the emperor has been finalized, so you are in a bad mood?"

"What time is it now, and you're still rambling here!" Ye Hen snorted suddenly, "Go back to the mansion immediately, pack up your things and leave when the city gate opens tomorrow morning. If you let me know that you stayed in the imperial capital for a moment Zhong, I will not help you pass the message."

These words are most effective when used to threaten Wei Yu, his expression changed as expected, he quickly jumped into the car and turned the horse's head towards Changlefang.

Ye Hen stood there with his hands behind his back, watching the black shadow of the carriage gradually go away, and sighed softly.
