Give you a spring

Shifu, brightly lit, was dead silent.

Liang Jingzhao leaned halfway on the roof of the house opposite it, "Do you think that Shi Qianlin is really inside? If I were him, I would run away immediately after killing people last night."

He Zhou also crouched beside him, glanced at him, and said nothing.

But not answering doesn't mean that Young Master Liang will stop here, he continued on his own, "But Pingwei said he was here, so I came. By the way, I haven't seen what Shi Qianlin looks like. It is rumored that he looks ugly and has a short stature. , coupled with a perverted and distorted psychology, um..." Liang Jingzhao shivered, "I don't know how I will react if I really see it."

"I might be scared to death," He Zhou said abruptly.

Liang Jingzhao glanced at him, "Brother He, you seem to have a lot of resentment towards me?"

However, He Zhou stopped talking again, his mouth seemed to be opened at regular intervals, and he didn't show any face to Young Master Liang next to him.But Liang Jingzhao didn't annoy him, firstly, the other party belonged to the Fifth Prince, and secondly... He Zhou was better than him, and he had a good impression of the other party in the last match.

"But having said that, brother He is so skilled, he just came to find this hairpin by himself, why do you need me?" He suddenly thought of this.

Naturally because of your identity, He Zhou said in his heart, if they happen to be discovered by people from the Shifu later, the other party will not react too radically when they see that the intruder is the son of General Liang, but if it is He Zhou Zhou alone, although he can get out of the way, but I'm afraid it will be a long time.

He watched the movements in the Shifu. The two stayed here for an hour, and they had already found out which room Shi Qianlin lived in. There were five guards in front of the room. They patrolled every incense stick, and the guards at the gate changed every half an hour. Once, there were a total of 15 people in the mansion including the servants.

He Zhou counted the time, and when the guards in front of Shi Qianlin's room finished patrolling, he turned to look at Liang Jingzhao who was still chattering, and said in a low voice, "It's almost there, let's go in now."

Without waiting for Liang Jingzhao's reaction, he straightened up and quietly landed on the street, and took advantage of the guards outside the door not paying attention, he climbed over the wall and entered.

Little Young Master Liang was startled, and immediately followed, and the two landed firmly in the middle of the Shifu.

"Over there," He Zhou turned his head to the right, and then dodged to a locked room with bright lights inside. He grabbed the lock and was about to chop it off with a knife, when Liang Jingzhao saw it and stopped him. , "Wait, I'll pick the lock."

He Zhou turned sideways to make room for Jingzhao—the young master took out a small iron wire from his pocket, recessed it into a special shape, and inserted it into the lock familiarly for a while, but in the blink of an eye, the iron wire The lock slipped quietly.

He Zhou caught the falling chain and gave him a suspicious look.

Liang Jingzhao received his gaze, put the wire back into his clothes, and explained in a low voice, "I often sneak into my warehouse to steal money..."

He Zhou raised his eyebrows.

"It's a bit expensive to spend on food every month..." It was embarrassing to say this, Liang Jingzhao knew he was wrong, and looked up at him guiltily.

He Zhou ignored him, pushed open the door, and the two walked in together.

It is the same as the room of ordinary sons, there are several high-quality vases inside, a wardrobe on the left, and a screen embroidered with red plums on the right, and the bed inside can be vaguely seen.

The room was not big, and the two memorized its structure at once. Liang Jingzhao stood near the gate, looked down at the red candles still burning on the table, and asked softly, "Is he in this room? He didn't seem to hear anyone's breathing. Voice."

He Zhou also listened attentively for a while, then nodded, "No one is here."

Liang Jingzhao lowered his face, "Could it be that he heard something and escaped?"

"No, Qi Zheng sent someone to guard here last night, until we came to take over just now." He Zhou took out the blueprint of the hairpin from his arms, "You look around for this hairpin, I'll go and see... ..”

He walked away while talking, Liang Jingzhao heard half of the silence, and couldn't help turning to ask, "What are you looking at?"

"Hush," He Zhou made a silent gesture towards him.

Young Master Liang shut his mouth, he looked down at the piece of paper, and began to rummage through the box.

He Zhou walked aimlessly in the room, knocked on the wall and opened the closet to touch it. After about half a stick of incense passed by, he observed almost all the places, then turned to look at Liang Jingzhao who was still busy, "How? Did you find it?"

"No," Liang Jingzhao lay on the ground, squinting and looking under the bed, "Did he lose the hairpin?"

"Where are the other sharp objects? Did you find them?"

"No," Liang Jingzhao got up, and looked around carefully again, "Did you find anything just now?"

He Zhou shook his head, "I tried to find out if there is a secret passage in the room, he can't disappear in the room out of thin air." But nothing was found.

Liang Jingzhao pondered for a moment, frowned and muttered, "That's really strange, not only the hairpin was not found, but the person was also missing."

As he spoke, he walked to the table in the room, wanting to sit down and think about it, but He Zhou's eyes froze, "Wait a minute."

"What?" Liang Jingzhao raised his head abruptly, seeing him staring at him with unusual concentration, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous, "...what's the matter?"

"You get up first."

Liang Jing did as he did.

He Zhou stared at the table, which was about the size of two slate bricks, with a thick layer of blankets under it. He turned his head and asked, "Do you think this is possible..."

Liang Jingzhao's eyelids twitched, he also thought of a possibility, walked to the table, and said, "I'll move it away."

He Zhou kept an eye on the movement outside, Liang Jingzhao moved the table away and then lifted the blanket - he saw that the slate tiles on the ground were loose, after removing them, Jingzhao took the red oil lamp on the table, and put it under According to.

"It's a secret way," he said with a low face.

"Go down and have a look," He Zhou jumped off.

After seeing Guan Yue, Ping Wei went to the Yamen again.

The other party seemed to have expected that he would come to him again, sitting inside to review the confessions of various cases, Ping Wei walked up to him, "Are you busy?"

"No, I'm here to wait for His Royal Highness to come down." Qi Zheng put down the file in his hand and asked, "Is Guard He and Mr. Liang going well tonight?"

"I don't know," Ping Wei glanced at the messy documents on the table.

Qi Zheng was stunned, "The lower officials have already withdrawn the people who were sent to the Shifu, because they are afraid of affecting the actions of those two, so I need to..."

"No," Ping Wei said, "The two of them are enough to deal with all the changes in Shifu. I came here to borrow some people to go to the city gate."

"What happened over there?" Qi Zheng was startled.

"It's nothing, it's just a double guarantee," Ping Wei said in a warm voice, "You said earlier that you haven't seen Shi Qianlin come out of the mansion since last night, but I'm a little worried that He Zhou and Jing Zhao will not find anyone there. So I want you to send some arrests to the city gate, now that the night is dark, if Shi Qianlin digs a tunnel in the room, he can secretly escape from the Shifu and leave Linjing at this time."

When Qi Zheng heard this, he immediately stood up, "Your Majesty, send someone to guard the city gate."

"Ah."

Ping Wei looked at him from behind, and asked casually after seeing that he had ordered good things, "Want to go together...to see the excitement?"

He Zhou and Liang Jingzhao walked in the secret passage, which was very narrow and only one person could pass through. The dirt floor was uneven, and there was a faint smell.There were only slight footsteps in the dead silent tunnel—the two of them didn't speak, and calculated the distance and time tacitly in their hearts.

Suddenly, He Zhou in front stopped.

"What's wrong?" Liang Jingzhao raised his oil lamp and looked up at him.

He Zhou pushed away the lamp that was about to hit his face, and said, "You said he shouldn't have buried that hairpin under this secret passage, right?"

Liang Jingzhao's eyes widened, and he lowered his head to look at the soles of his feet, "No way? This secret path is at least 50 meters long. How can I find it if it's buried here?"

"I don't know," He Zhou said expressionlessly, and wanted to continue walking.

Liang Jingzhao grabbed him, "So that's it? Don't you stop and try to find it?"

"Then you stay and look for it," He Zhou stretched his hand behind and pulled the clothes back, and said coldly, "I'll go arrest someone."

"Didn't Ping Wei say it's best not to arrest people?" Liang Jingzhao didn't want to stay alone in this dark secret passage. He followed behind He Zhou and asked in a low voice, "If we go out and arrest people, will it be impossible?" Explain to Lord Shi?"

"No," He Zhou said, "Shi Qianlin ran out secretly. The guards in front of his house have not been removed, and there is no chaos inside the Shifu, which proves that his father did not realize that his son was no longer in the house, and we... "He paused, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he said in an unclear tone, "You can also secretly capture him, torture him for one night, and use this secret way to send him back to Shifu the next day."

"... To put it bluntly, the people in Shifu won't notice that his son is missing for a whole night? Shi Zongxi may visit his son from time to time, for fear that he will go out and commit trouble again." Liang Jingzhao disagreed.

"If you know it, don't be afraid," He Zhou said slowly.

"Why?"

"Isn't there you?" He Zhou stopped, turned his head and glanced meaningfully. With the help of the candle in his hand, Liang Jingzhao could see his eyes clearly. He was dumbfounded at first, and then raised his voice involuntarily, " Are you going to use my identity to suppress Lord Shi? God, if my father finds out about this, won’t he kill me?!"

"It's not such an exaggeration. Isn't General Liang in the Ministry of War with Lord Liu? As long as we find him tonight and successfully find the murder weapon on him, your father will praise you tomorrow morning."

"There are a lot of prerequisites..." Liang Jingzhao felt a little tired when he thought of what would happen if he found nothing tonight and was discovered by his father the next day, so he helplessly supported the wall next to him, wet The touch made him immediately frowned again, and quickly put it down and wiped it on his clothes.

He Zhou didn't notice his movements. He saw the faint light in the distance, and he breathed a sigh of relief—there should be an exit over there. According to the distance he walked just now, the secret road was about 80 meters long. It's on the street next door.

The two crawled out from the secret passage, covered in ashes. He Zhou looked around the deserted surroundings. The two seemed to be in the courtyard of an abandoned house. He looked to Liang Jingzhao beside him, "Do you know this place?"

Jing Zhao was also looking around, not quite sure what to say, "This seems to be an old house on Xishui Street next door. Is it a property bought by Shifu?"

"Go back and check," He Zhou replied, he was a little worried that the two of them would not be able to catch up with Shi Qianlin, "I'll arrest him, you stay here and look for hairpins?"

"...I'm here alone," Liang Jingzhao showed hesitation, it was too dark here, relying on the oil lamp in his hand and the dim moonlight, he could only see things within two feet clearly, young master Liang hesitated, but He knew in his heart that if the two stayed here together, it might delay the opportunity to arrest Shi Qianlin, so he suggested in a low voice, "Can I go and arrest him, and you stay and look for him?"

"Can you?" He Zhou asked, seeing the fear in his eyes.

"Can."

"Then you go, I'll stay," He Zhou took the oil lamp in his hand, and strode into the dark and gloomy old house after saying a few words.
