Listening to Jiang Zhizhou's words, Yang Qing couldn't help but cough.
He covered his mouth with his hand, trying to suppress the cough. Unexpectedly, it involved the wound on his back, making the pain more obvious.
Jiang Zhizhou's face was originally gloomy, but now that he saw his appearance, he didn't dare to say any harsh words.
After Yang Qing coughed for a while, he calmed down and whispered a few words to Jiang Zhizhou.
Jiang Zhizhou's brows have been furrowed. "Since this is the arrangement, I will send someone to add more firewood."
"There's no point in turning back when you open your bow, Xiao Zhou, I'll leave this matter to you."
Yang Qing's eyes have been fixed on Jiang Zhizhou.
"You have to take good care of your body and bones, otherwise you will not be spared lightly."
After Jiang Zhizhou finished speaking, he left the house.
Imperial City, Hall of Mental Cultivation
Chu Jinghui looked at Suotu: "Suotu, enter Wei Prime Minister's Residence, is there any result?"
Suotu took out a small bag of ash-like substance from his sleeve, which was also mixed with some pieces of paper that had not been completely burned.
"Your Majesty, when Wei Chen went to Wei Prime Minister's Residence, he saw someone burning this thing in Chancellor Wei's study. Wei Chen guessed that it was a letter or something, and it was related to..."
Suotu paused for a moment, then continued, "It has something to do with Northern Liang."
Chu Jinghui was stunned when he heard this, and his eyes became a little deeper again. "Who is it related to?"
Suotu carefully dumped the ashes on the ground, then picked out the few pieces of paper that had not been completely burned and handed them to Chu Jinghui: "Your Majesty, please take a look!"
Chu Jinghui took it and took a look. There was nothing special written on it. It was just a letter from a businessman Northern Liang to Wei Sizhong, stating that the tea harvest was poor this year and the amount of tea that could be harvested was not much.
However, just such a seemingly ordinary letter made Chu Jinghui's face feel like a thin layer of ice had formed on it.
Because he saw that the unknown tea merchant mentioned that the tea given to Wei Sizhong came from North Mountain.
That North Mountain Tea and Yang Qing back then were also drunk from Yan Prefecture's big room Li Yi's Residence.
North Mountain, located in Northern Liang, is a famous place for producing rare tea.
There are commercial transactions between Western Chu and Northern Liang. This is a fact well known to the people of the two countries, and there is nothing to criticize.
However, North Mountain Tea can only be obtained by the rich and powerful.
In the territory of Northern Liang, the royal family are also fighting for their scalps.
This is North Mountain Tea, which is rare and precious. According to the tone of the tea merchant's letter, he should have been responsible for delivering it to Wei Sizhong's house more than once.
Wei Sizhong is an important minister of Western Chu. Why is there Northern Liang tribute tea in his house?
Chu Jinghui's hands held the fragments tightly, and he didn't say a word for a long time.
Suotu His hands hung down by his sides, not daring to say another word.
"Apart from this, are there any other discoveries?"
After a long time, Chu Jinghui's voice sounded again.
His voice was very calm, but Suotu shivered violently for some unknown reason.
He hurriedly said, "If you want to return to the emperor, I sent someone to check Wei Prime Minister's Residence and found nothing else."
No other gains?
Chu Jinghui's hand tightened again. "But did you check carefully?"
Hearing this, Suotu thought hard for a moment, and then said, "I have carefully checked other places, but..."
"But what?"
"But in the Chancellor Wei ancestral hall, the Imperial Silk Cloak given by the emperor is enshrined. I, I don't dare to make any mistakes, so..."
Chu Jinghui's eyes narrowed suddenly. "I am pardoning your innocence, take people to Wei Prime Minister's Residence immediately!"
Suotu looked serious. "I obey the order!"
Capital City, Chancellor's Residence
Today's Chancellor's Residence has a bit of a stormy feel.
Wei Sizhong is still there Celestial Prison. Although no bad news has come, the fact that Guards Suotu personally brought people to search the house has caused panic in the whole house.
At this time, someone was still standing calmly among the Wei Ancestral Hall.
This person is the housekeeper of Wei Sizhong's house. He has been with Wei Sizhong before he joined Capital City, so he is deeply trusted by Wei Sizhong.
"Prime Minister, this storm is different from the past. I hope everything will be safe and sound."
His gaze has always been on the large robe enshrined in the center of the ancestral hall. "I guess with the emperor's grace and blessing, most people are in danger but not in danger?"
While he was saying this, he heard another noise coming from outside.
The butler's expression changed, and he turned around and was about to yell, but he was shocked to see Suotu and someone coming towards his direction again.
"Guard Suotu..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, he heard Suotu telling the people behind him, "Put away the things given by the emperor and let others search for me!"
The housekeeper was shocked. He quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Suotu: "Guard Suotu, this is the place where Emperor Imperial Robe is enshrined. It is not wise to make such a big move! Please Guard Suotu think again!"
Suotu glanced at him coldly. "I am here to search this place under the order of the emperor. If there is any obstruction, I will kill you without mercy!"
The housekeeper was horrified, almost unsteady. "This, this..."
Suotu no longer said anything to him, but entered the ancestral hall one by one with Imperial Guards behind him and looked through it carefully.
The housekeeper knelt directly outside the high threshold of the ancestral hall, trembling all over.
Seeing this scene, he could only curl up and say nothing.
After Imperial Guards searched around, someone ran up to Suotu and said, "Report! Found a Hidden Chamber!"
When he heard the words "Hidden Chamber", the housekeeper's face suddenly turned pale and his lips turned purple.
Suotu glanced at him, snorted secretly, and said to the subordinate, "Come in!"
After receiving the order, the soldiers on the side took out the knives from their waists and smashed them against the problematic wall.
In just a few clicks, a big hole was made in the solid wall.
Suotu leaned inside and found that there were several steps inside.
However, Black Hole is a cave inside and nothing can be seen clearly.
He took out a Fire Starter from his arms, flashed it, and then took the lead in entering the Black Hole.
When Black Hole entered, Suotu saw the marks of wall lamps on both sides of the steps. He stretched Fire Starter up there and quickly lit the lamps.
It wasn't until he lit up all the wall lamps he could see that he saw clearly that there was a Secret Chamber underneath.
Secret Chamber There are dozens of large sandalwood boxes on the ground, and the doors of the boxes are all locked.
"Smash that lock!"
Suotu After giving the order, the soldiers rushed towards the boxes.
After a period of "ping ping ping pong", all the boxes were opened.
In an instant, streaks of light flashed through Secret Chamber.
That was the light reflected from the gold and silver jewelry placed in several boxes when they were illuminated by the bright light of Fire Starter.
Suotu's eyes slowly slid over the jewelry, his brows furrowed, not knowing what he was thinking.
Suddenly, someone shouted again, "Report, another secret grid has been found here!"
Suotu Hearing this, he immediately stepped forward.
