When Leng Chi returned to the palace, what he saw was the scene of Shen Xiao following He Qingchen closely.

at that time.

He Qingchen has searched every room in the courtyard.

Thinking of the way Shen Guidi had hidden the information before, He Qingchen even knocked on the wall tiles in the main house and the wing room where Wang Huan lived.

However, there was nothing.

He Qingchen looked around the room in confusion for a moment.

half an hour.

He walked out slowly and stood in the middle of the yard, looking at every corner of the yard with scrutiny.

Leng Chi moved to Shen Xiao's side and asked in a low voice, "What are you looking for, my Lord?"

Shen Xiao shook his head slightly.

He really doesn't know.

Also asked.

But the prince didn't say.

When Wang Huan died, Ye Feng and the prince were the only ones in the study. He and the guards had no idea what had happened. Why did the prince sentence Wang Huan to death for no reason?

What did Wang Huan say before he died?

Since the prince wanted to find something, why didn't he just ask directly, but waited until Wang Huan died before coming to his yard to search and investigate?

too weird.

Leng Chi glanced around the yard: "Where's Ye Feng? Where did he go?"

Shen Xiao glanced at He Qingchen and whispered, "The prince asked him to deal with Wang Huan's matter."

After hesitating for a moment, he continued, "You said that Wang Huan was a quiet man in the past. I never expected that he would be exposed today. Now we know that he has done so many things."

Leng Chi glanced at him and said nothing.

Shen Xiao couldn't figure out Leng Chi's thoughts, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He just kept talking to himself, "The prince has always been considerate of us because we fought together with him in the southern border, and he has always been kind to us. I never thought that the prince would be so lenient."

He was still muttering to himself beside Leng Chi.

Leng Chi held the sword in both hands and glanced at Shen Xiao indifferently: "What else? Let go of the people who betray you time and time again. When will they be tempted by others with benefits and then give you a fatal blow?"

His voice was cold.

It was obvious from what he said that he agreed with He Qingchen's approach.

Shen Xiao choked and explained awkwardly: "That's not what I meant. I just think it's a pity."

"What a shame? Wang Huan knows too much."

Leng Chi looked at Shen Xiao, his eyes becoming even colder.

Shen Xiao's scalp tingled and he pursed his lips tightly, not daring to say a word.

Leng Chi's words reminded him.

Wang Huan can do so many evil things today, and he will be even worse tomorrow. People like him really cannot be let out.

The best way is to solve the problem once and for all.

Seeing that he was silent, Leng Chi snorted coldly and gave him a little advice: "Shen Xiao, take Wang Huan as an example."

After saying that, without waiting for Shen Xiao's reaction, he walked towards He Qingchen.

"Your Majesty, if you can't find it, then don't look for it for now. Ask Wang Huan about what he is hiding at home, and you might get the answer. As for this place, I will send some people over to guard it. No one will be allowed to come in until the thing is found."

Leng Chi only thought about it briefly and suggested.

He Qingchen raised his eyes: "Before Wang Huan died, he specifically reminded me that there was something hidden under this stone chair. But I always feel that there was something else behind his last words, and this yard doesn't look right."

He ignored Leng Chi's suggestion and went on to express his own thoughts.

Leng Chi understood.

I know that He Qingchen is worried that the night will be too long and he wants to think about it further.

His eyes passed over the two boxes on the table.

I also guessed that the two boxes were the things dug out from under the stone bench.

Seeing his eyes fall on the box, He Qingchen took the initiative to tell him about the confrontation and entanglement between him and Wang Huan in the study before Wang Huan's death.

This naturally includes Wang Huan's last words, and...

Later, he followed Wang Huan's suggestion and asked someone to dig this thing out.

Leng Chi heard the voice and stared at the two boxes thoughtfully.

moment.

He walked quickly forward, opened the two boxes, and examined them carefully.

There was nothing special about the contents of the booklet. It was mostly about the origin of the gold in the other box.

Leng Chi held the booklet and slowly stroked it with his hand.

There was some black, fine-grained powder on my hands.

He brought his hand to his nose and sniffed for a moment.

He Qingchen stopped searching at this moment.

He slowly walked to Leng Chi's side and took a look at the booklet: "Is there a problem with this booklet?"

Just now, when He Qingchen couldn't find anything in the house, he looked at the booklet.

The booklet looks like an account book.

But the gold doesn't feel right to hold.

He Qingchen carefully examined the gold, picking up each one and looking at it, but could not see any problem, except for the weight of the gold, which seemed not to be right.

Leng Chi gave He Qingchen a look.

He Qingchen understood immediately.

"Let's talk inside." As he walked in, he ordered, "Shen Xiao, fence off this yard and don't let anyone in or out. If anyone shows any signs of abnormality, arrest them and put them in the dungeon."

Leng Chi picked up the two boxes and followed He Qingchen into the inner room under Shen Xiao's confused gaze.

Shen Xiao reacted quickly.

When the door of the inner room was closed, he hurriedly asked people to cordon off the yard and stood guard outside from a distance, fearing that others would disturb the conversation between He Qingchen and Leng Chi.

In the room.

Leng Chi quickly put the box on the table, rummaged through his body, and pulled out a dagger.

"Leng Chi?"

He Qingchen raised his eyebrows slightly when he took out the dagger.

next moment.

Then he took out one of the booklets from the box and placed it flat on the table. Then he bent down and slowly scraped it with the blade of a knife.

A thin layer of black powder was scraped off the paper.

He Qingchen hurried forward.

After scraping off the layer of black powder on the paper, only a piece of white was left. If there were not some faint traces of writing and use on the paper, I am afraid that people outside would think that it was a blank piece of paper.

now.

He Qingchen didn't think so.

The question of why this was just a "small account book" was hidden so carefully finally had an answer.

next moment.

Leng Chi conjured up a bowl of water from somewhere and poured it all over the table.

The water stains penetrated the back of the paper, and the things on it slowly came out.

On it, there is a clear map.

The last signature on the map is a familiar yet unfamiliar symbol.

The reason why it was familiar was that He Qingchen had seen this symbol before.

The reason why it felt strange was that he hadn't seen that symbol for some years.

Leng Chi looked at He Qingchen in a daze, a hint of doubt flashed through his mind.

He looked at it intently for two seconds, then turned around and took out a piece of white paper, carefully traced a copy of the map, and put it aside to dry.

I thought about it secretly.

He asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, have you seen this symbol on the map?"
