This prince is a little sweet

Time waits for no one, Xiao Heng frowned, slightly agitated.

Fortunately, these anxieties did not seem to affect Xiao Heng, but made him more sober.He looked at the few things on the desk, and his mind turned quickly.

At this time, a few servants shouted loudly outside the door, "Come quickly, the wife of the second head is gone, come quickly!" There was a thunder on the ground, and the village that had finally calmed down because of the night fell again. It became noisy.

However, Xiao Heng didn't seem to hear it at all. He stayed in Yuan Qi's room calmly and calmly, slightly bent his knuckles, and clasped them intentionally or unintentionally on the book case, while his eyes lingered on it. on several inkstones. .

Thinking about it, suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He whispered: "Oh, I said there is a ghost here, but I didn't expect it to be a Jiugong lock."

That's right, the arrangement of these inkstones is really like a Jiugong lock, and the technique of mechanism has always been Xiao Heng's specialty.

The so-called Jiugong lock is an extremely ingenious design.Only when those specific grids in the Jiugongge are under force can it be opened.Once it is opened, the "gate of life" will be opened, and if one wants to break the lock forcefully, the "gate of death" will open automatically, destroying the secret compartment connected by the Jiugong lock.

Xiao Heng concentrated and held his breath, his hands were flying up and down, moving the four or five inkstones on the desk quickly.At this moment, his mind was frantically calculating the combinations that were most likely to be the door of life. There was no shortcut to unlocking it. Only by trying one by one, could he find the final "key".

But at this time, there was a sound of horseshoes outside the door, and several shouts came into Xiao Heng's ears: "What!? That girl from the Xu family ran away? What are you doing, you don't even want your head anymore, do you?"

Someone raised a whip and slapped the ground angrily, and continued: "Hurry up and find me, there are still a few of you, hurry up and report to the head of the house! The second head of the house was drunk just now, and now it is no longer worth it! Let me say first Alright, in case this girl from the Xu family is a spy who sneaked in from King Yu, and took something from the stockade, don't fucking want your heads!"

Xiao Heng's breathing was tight, and a few drops of cold sweat flowed down his forehead.It's almost the end, and he still hasn't found the final "life gate". Was it because he thought wrong at the beginning, or was his luck really bad recently?

"Da-da-da-da-" footsteps sounded one after another, and a sly male voice came to Xiao Heng's ears, and someone whispered outside the door: "My room , has anyone ever gone in?"

Xiao Heng took a deep breath, there is no other way, this is the last one, if it still doesn't work, he can only give up temporarily.

"Click", the desk made a clear and crisp sound, and a piece of wood was bounced from one corner of it. Xiao Heng's pupils shrank slightly, and before he had time to think about it, he quickly glanced over. A thick, somewhat yellow ledger.

☆, camouflage

Seeing this account book, Xiao Heng felt a big stone in his heart fall to the ground instantly.It seems that he did not guess wrong. The handle Yuan Qi held in his hand was the evidence that King Yu embezzled money from the imperial mausoleum. Not only private mines, but also a lot of real gold and silver, and even prepared funeral objects .

Xiao Heng finally understood why for so long, Luoxue Villa had always tripped King Yu overtly and secretly, but King Yu had always swallowed his anger.

He had long felt that this was not King Yu's style, but now it seemed that there was something tricky about it.

Just at this moment, there was a "squeak", and the door was opened a crack by someone who didn't know, but the person who pushed the door seemed to be stopped the next moment, and stopped there and whispered something.

Xiao Heng no longer hesitated, grabbed the account book, turned around and threw a "chun thunder" - the gun/powder exploded next to the mahogany window with a "bang", and the window was suddenly blown open. At this time, all the scenery was displayed in front of Xiao Heng's eyes. Under the cover of the dense gunpowder smoke, Xiao Heng supported the wall at the crack with one hand, and easily flipped out.

The person standing outside the door was Yuan Qi, who was suddenly called back by the sound of the explosion, and without saying a word, he left his subordinates and walked into the room quickly.

At this time, the room was in a state of chaos, the tea was spilled on the floor, the paper books were scattered everywhere, and the Jiugong lock was also opened.

There are traces of just being searched everywhere, Yuan Qi looked at the empty and dàngdàng secret compartment under Jiugong Lock, and an unknown karmic fire arose in his heart, so without pretending, it seems that the people who sneaked in are not afraid of him finding out to the end Whoever did it, or in other words, as long as that person got the ledger, it was completely successful.

He squinted his long and narrow eyes, staring at the direction where Xiao Heng disappeared, his eyes were dim and unclear.With such an arrogant and accompanying style, and such superb ingenuity, is this person sent by King Yu, or...?

It seems that I have some clues, but I can't grasp it...

In the end, he secretly let out a breath and said, "Seal the village, search door to door!"

Just as Xiao Heng ran out of Yuan Qi's room, before he had time to catch his breath, and before he had time to study the ledger carefully, he noticed with a headache that all the young people in the village were commotioning, one by one holding their big knives. , twittering and yelling about "seal the village" and "arrest people".
