Shen Xiao moved Ye Feng quietly and quickened his movements.

The same goes for his package.

They are all a layer of oil paper wrapped in a piece of cloth.

The difference is that the piece of cloth is indigo blue, looks square and very regular.

The other piece of cloth was royal blue, mottled and old, with holes at the edges, as if it had been torn apart by someone, and it was even unthreaded.

There were two boxes wrapped in cloth.

They are the same size, the same color, and even the lock on the outside of the box looks exactly the same.

Ye Feng and Shen Xiao looked at each other.

The two of them tacitly increased their vigilance and slowly tried to open the box, but how could they open a locked box?

He Qingchen looked at them speechlessly.

Immediately.

He took a sword from the guard beside him and in the blink of an eye, he broke the locks on the two boxes.

Ye Feng and Shen Xiao were careful and cautious: "..."

Ye Feng checked carefully and made sure that there was nothing harmful in the box, such as poison powder, poisonous scorpions, etc., then he opened the box generously and revealed the contents.

Inside the heavy box was a box of gold.

Looking at it, there is nothing special.

The other box contained a few booklets, which didn't look like anything special.

Ye Feng knew He Qingchen's habits.

Seeing his eyes fall on the booklet, he touched the back of his head, and when Shen Xiao picked up a booklet from it, he suddenly realized.

He snatched it away and handed it to He Qingchen happily.

"Your Majesty, please take a look."

He Qingchen nodded slightly, opened the booklet, and read it quickly.

A moment.

He Qingchen suddenly put away the booklet: "Bring everything to the study, I will look at it later."

He turned and left.

It was obvious that he had no intention of continuing to take care of Wang Huan's affairs.

Ye Feng had no choice but to lead his men and catch up quickly.

Shen Xiao walked behind them. The guards were busy filling up the mud pit and didn't pay much attention.

"Ye Feng, tell me, why did Wang Huan bury the gold outside? And what are those booklets about?" Shen Xiao touched Ye Feng's arm, motioned him to look at the two boxes, and asked curiously.

"How should I know? Hasn't Wang Huan seemed quite honest over the years? I don't know where he got so much gold." Ye Feng felt a little annoyed when he thought of Wang Huan.

"How can he be honest?"

Shen Xiao strongly disagreed.

He curled his lips, lowered his voice, and said, "You don't know, Wang Huan, he bought another house outside, right next to the moat. I thought he bought it for his wife, children, parents and brothers, but his family doesn't seem to know about this house at all. Wang Huan always goes there from time to time. I don't know if there is someone hiding there. But, it's strange, there is only an old woman and a servant living in the house, and I have never seen anyone else go in and out."

Ye Feng paused: "Wang Huan bought a house outside? Also, how did you know about this?"

Shen Xiao touched his nose and smiled awkwardly, "I just happened to see him acting suspiciously, and out of curiosity, I kept a close eye on him. A few times after that, I happened to pass by him while on a mission, so I paid a little more attention to him."

"Do you know who that old woman is?"

Shen Xiao shook his head: "I don't know, I can't find out. Her background must have been deliberately covered up."

Ye Feng frowned tightly, "How often does he go there? How long does he usually stay? Is there anything wrong with that old woman and the servant? Are you sure the Wang family doesn't know about that house? Is there any relationship between that old woman and the Wang family?"

He just confided a series of questions.

If an ordinary colleague did something like this, Ye Feng would definitely not care too much.

Wang Huan is different.

Especially after today's situation, he felt more and more that Wang Huan was probably not a simple person.

Ye Feng carefully recalled his interactions with Wang Huan over the years, and found nothing unusual.

Shen Xiao was startled by Ye Feng's nervous and solemn expression.

He said hurriedly: "I, I didn't pay close attention to it. In the past, we didn't know if Wang Huan had any problems. He was personally selected by the prince and brought back. How could we have thought that we had to follow him carefully and investigate his affairs?

But if you still want to know, I'll ask someone to check it out later..."

Before Shen Xiao finished speaking, his hand was touched.

He looked at Ye Feng in astonishment, and saw him throw the box in his hand into his arms like a gust of wind. He then hurried to He Qingchen in front, whispered a few words to him, and then ran away quickly.

It was He Qingchen who stopped.

He turned around and looked at Shen Xiao intently.

Shen Xiao's heart skipped a beat.

He walked over tremblingly and stood three meters away from He Qingchen: "My Lord, is there anything you want me to do?"

"Immediately arrange for people to gather all the people in the palace and block the news of Wang Huan's death. If anyone in the palace spreads the news outside, no matter what it is, take the person to the dark cell. Send someone to call Leng Chi back, and..."

Shen Xiao was unable to react: "What else?"

"You just reminded me of something."

"what?"

He Qingchen did not respond to him, but only said: "First, follow what I said to arrange it. Once it's settled, come over here to help find it."

Shen Xiao hesitated for a moment, then took his men to get to work.

He Qingchen walked back with big strides, still heading towards Wang Huan's yard.

Just now.

Shen Xiao curiously asked Ye Feng why Wang Huan buried the gold and those books outside.

He also heard this question.

He also asked himself, why did Wang Huan do this?

Wang Huan is the housekeeper of the palace.

In the past, he handled countless amounts of money.

It would be easy for him to embezzle some money.

Then why did he hide such a large box of gold outside instead of trying to melt it or deposit it in a bank, but buried it in the yard outside which didn't look safe?

Shen Xiao also said that he had a small house in the moat.

I would go there and walk around from time to time.

Since he had such a large box of gold, why didn't he hide it outside the farm, but kept it under his nose?

All kinds of questions led He Qingchen to think and analyze.

As soon as he returned to Mingyue Pavilion, he began to rummage through the drawers and cabinets and searched for the thing himself.

After assigning and arranging everything, Shen Xiao hurried back to He Qingchen.

In the courtyard of Mingyue Pavilion, stood a group of guards who were at a loss.

Shen Xiao frowned.

After entering the room, Shen Xiao was slightly stunned when he saw He Qingchen rummaging through the drawers and cabinets.

He subconsciously looked back at the guards outside who had an indescribable expression, took a deep breath, took He Qingchen's hand and asked, "Your Majesty, what are you looking for?"
