Shen Qin then let go of his hand, and Li Yi snorted coldly, rubbed his painful wrist, glared at him again, and then walked to the well and looked down.

It was bottomless and pitch black inside, and nothing could be seen clearly.

"Is this where the stolen money is hidden?"

Weng Ling replied,

"I guess so, we haven't gone down to check yet."

Li Yi said anxiously, "I'll go down and take a look personally, you guys wait outside."

He couldn't wait to know if there was any evidence against the princelings below. If there was, he would destroy it inside in time to ensure that it did not fall into Weng Ling's hands.

Everyone looked at each other without saying anything, but Shen Qin took two steps back, made room and made a gesture of invitation.

Li Yi felt something was wrong. He looked around and saw the five-step snake struggling in the snake net on the ground. He was so frightened that he almost jumped up.

"This... what's going on here?"

Weng Ling explained the mechanism just underground to Li Yi.

This time, Li Yi did not dare to bear the brunt. He pointed at Yifu soldiers and said, "Go down and explore the way for me first."

The soldiers obeyed the order and went down. The people outside waited for a long time, but there was no movement. Finally, Shen Qin couldn't help but said,

"Something may have happened to him inside. Let me go down and take a look. Maybe I can heal him!"

Of course Li Yi didn't want Shen Qin to go down, but he had no reason to refuse, so he had to follow him.

Weng Ling was worried that something would happen to Shen Qin and would be unable to report to King Xi, so he ordered a yamen soldier to say,

"You also go down and help Dr. Shen, so we can take care of each other."

In this way, Li Yi brought two government soldiers, and Shen Qin brought a government soldier, a total of five people, and entered the well together.

They landed on a sunken sandy land, illuminated by torches. In front of them was a long corridor, the ground was paved with stone bricks, it was quite wide, and three people could walk side by side.

Shen Qin had bad eyesight and tapped the ground with a pole, carefully exploring the path. Li Yi was anxious to find the stolen money first, and quickly rushed in front of Shen Qin.

The Yamen soldiers wanted to follow Li Yi, but were quietly pulled back by Shen Qin.

There was a loud bang, and the stone slab Li Yi was stepping on turned over.

"what!!!--"

He fell down and screamed.

"Master Li! Master Li!"

The government soldiers shouted anxiously. The mechanism in front was a living stone similar to a seesaw. After Li Yi fell, it closed again, so they couldn't see what was going on inside at all.

When the Yamen soldiers saw this, they broke out in a cold sweat. However, Shen Qin remained calm and spoke to him calmly.

"Be careful. It seems that Wang Jun has put a lot of traps inside to prevent theft."

"Grandma, it hurts so much!"

Li Yi's cursing voice came from under the stone slab. The moment he landed, his left foot was pierced by a long steel needle. The pain was so painful that he almost fainted.

What's even more strange is that he felt soft under his feet. With the peripheral light of the fallen torch, he turned his head and glanced in surprise.

You don't know this, and you're shocked to see that under his feet is the corpse of the soldier just now. It was pierced into a sieve by dozens of steel needles at the bottom of the pit. He would have died a long time ago. If he hadn't stood firm just now and fell. , the end is the same.

"Hurry up and get me up there, you losers!"

He really didn't want to stay in this horrible place for a moment.

Shen Qin said coldly,

"Master Li is really lucky!"

Li Yi replied fiercely below.

"Chen Qin, don't make sarcastic remarks around me. Sooner or later, I will cut off your tongue and sew your lips shut with thread to make you mute again!"

"How can we save this..."

The two soldiers were at a loss what to do.

Shen Qin sighed helplessly.

He is not some great saint who repays evil with kindness.

If Li Yi died here, he wouldn't feel like it would be enough to satisfy his hatred.

According to the original plan, he and Weng Ling found the stolen silver. If there was evidence against the prince, they could directly bring it back to the Yushitai and present it to the emperor.

However, I don’t know what kind of expert guidance Li Yi received to decipher Wang Jun’s code word so quickly. He must have been hindered by it.

After all, Li Yi is the emperor's nephew. If something happens to him, Weng Ling and himself will be held responsible, not to mention being watched by the soldiers of the county prince's palace.

In desperation, Shen Qin could only lend a helping hand. He used a pole to cut off the stone bricks near the wall in front. After finding that it was solid, he stretched out his feet and stepped on it.

"The center is the mechanism, and the edge is the road. Follow me and walk from the edge."

When they arrived at the place where Li Yi fell, Shen Qin used a pole to lift up the trap, and then asked the soldiers to pass the rope to Li Yi and pull him up.

"There may be other agencies ahead, Master Li, please follow closely."
