Escape after crossing

Jiang Ziluo walked around the study and actually found something, except for the secret compartment behind the painting that Leng Chenming mentioned before.

This time it was the Clivia potted plant that Jiang Ziluo had mentioned earlier. There was a button under the flowerpot stand. When you pressed it, an entrance to a dark room would appear next to the couch next to it.

Jiang Ziluo took the flashlight, took out the saber from the space, and held it in his hand. He walked in little by little, standing in the dark, Leng Chenming looked at the light in the study from afar.

In a blink of an eye, the light disappeared, leaving only darkness. Leng Chenming was a little worried, so he used his lightness skills to get under the eaves and went straight into the study.

He took out the fire starter he carried with him, looked around the study, and found the entrance to the dark room next to the couch, so Leng Chenming walked in.

Halfway through the walk, Jiang Ziluo heard footsteps behind him and quickly turned off the flashlight because it was a passage and there was no place to hide.

Jiang Ziluo could only assume a fighting posture, with the tip of the saber in his hand facing outwards.

When you see the faint flame, you know how small the flame of a tinder is, it can only see a very small area.

Jiang Ziluo attacked as soon as he saw the fire, and his saber went straight towards Leng Chenming. Leng Chenming felt a gust of wind and saw the flash of the saber, although it was only a fleeting sight, but he saw it.

Leng Chenming dodged Jiang Ziluo's knife and said directly, "Jiang Ziluo."

Jiang Ziluo heard a familiar voice, so he stopped attacking and asked, "Master Leng? Why are you here?"

"Nothing? I just want to see what treasures are here."

"Oh, then, let's go together! Prince, please." Jiang Ziluo made a gesture of invitation.

Leng Chenming came in because he was afraid that Jiang Ziluo would be in danger, so he should have walked in front. Jiang Ziluo followed behind Leng Chenming.

She did not take out the flashlight again, but walked with the light from Leng Chenming's hand. Who knew that after only two steps, Leng Chenming spoke again.

"What do you use to light up the study? It doesn't look like a tinder, nor does it look like a night-shining pearl. Why don't you use it?"

Jiang Ziluo didn't expect Leng Chenming had already seen it. She was still thinking about whether to take out the fire stick. Now, there was no need to take out the fire stick.

Jiang Ziluo took out a flashlight from his sleeve. Now that he had been discovered, there was no need to hide it. This Prince Leng was not a fool and could not be fooled.

"Here you go." Jiang Ziluo turned on the flashlight and handed it to Leng Chenming. Leng Chenming looked at the unfamiliar thing handed over, then looked at Jiang Ziluo. He took it in his hand and asked.

"What is this? I've never seen it before!"

"This is called a flashlight. Don't ask me where I got it from. Even if I ask, I won't tell you. If you want to keep it, keep it. If you don't want to keep it, just give it back to me after you use it."

Leng Chenming really wanted to ask where it came from, but since he was not allowed to ask, he didn't ask. "I'll keep it. What did you call it just now?"

"Flashlight, there are batteries in here. If they don't light up anymore, I'll change them for you." Jiang Ziluo felt a little regretful. She should have been more careful when she used this thing tonight.

"Master Leng, when did you come? Or have you been following me all the time?" When Jiang Ziluo asked, his voice became colder, especially the last sentence.

Leng Chenming noticed that Jiang Ziluo's tone had obviously become colder, and wondered if Jiang Ziluo was angry?

"Well, when I was coming back to the restaurant from outside, I saw a figure climbing over the wall and leaving the restaurant. I looked again and it looked like you. I was afraid that you were in danger, so I followed you.

I originally thought that as long as there was no danger, I would not come out, but I did not expect that in a blink of an eye, the light in the study was gone. I was worried about you so I came in to check."

Jiang Ziluo wasn't really a teenager, and he knew that Leng Chenming was worried about him, so he stopped chasing him.

"Thank you!" Jiang Ziluo still thanked him.

"It's too dangerous for you to go alone. Just ask Xuanyi and the others to come next time." Leng Chenming said.

"Will there be no danger if they come? Xuanyi and the others are also human beings, they don't have indestructible bodies. Besides, there is no danger here, I can protect myself."

Jiang Ziluo walked forward after he finished speaking. They had wasted some time. After walking a dozen meters, Jiang Ziluo saw a dozen large wooden boxes in front of him.

Jiang Ziluo ran over happily. Usually there would be good stuff in such a big wooden box. There were more than a dozen of them. I'm rich, I'm rich, Jiang Ziluo kept shouting in his heart.

When they opened the box, they found that it was indeed filled with antiques and famous paintings. They opened a few more boxes and found gold, silver, various famous calligraphy and paintings, fine jewelry, porcelain, etc.

Jiang Ziluo was amazed every time he saw it. After reading it, he asked Leng Chenming, "Didn't Xuan San say that those women were given silver notes? Where did these come from?"

"How could Wu Shiyong have stayed in Jiangdu City for twenty years without some family background?"

"That's right. Just because someone appears to be a good official doesn't necessarily mean he is a good official. What would Wu Shiyong's reaction be if these things disappeared?"

"If we move all these away, it will make a lot of noise and we will be discovered." Leng Chenming did not answer the question but stated the reality.

Jiang Ziluo knew what Leng Chenming meant, so she didn't say anything. But Jiang Ziluo looked around with the flashlight. She didn't forget what she was here for tonight.

Leng Chenming thought she came here just for the banknotes she had found during the day, but she didn't expect to find so many things. Seeing what Jiang Ziluo was still looking for, he asked.

"What else are you looking for?"

Jiang Ziluo did not answer Leng Chenming's words, but discovered a small secret compartment on the wall above the first box.

Moreover, the secret compartment is very hidden. After seeing so many large boxes, most people will definitely not focus their attention anywhere else.

The reason why Jiang Ziluo was able to find this secret compartment was because he did not find what he was looking for in the study.

That's why I searched here carefully again, and I didn't expect that Jiang Ziluo really found it.

Jiang Ziluo opened the secret compartment and took out a porcelain bottle from it. Leng Chenming asked.

"What is this? Is this what you were looking for tonight?"

"It should be this, the poison that the Ninth Prince was poisoned with."

"Do you know what the poison is?"

Jiang Ziluo pulled out the cork and smelled the medicine inside: rose hips, bitter almonds, unprocessed salvia miltiorrhiza, and white atractylodes.

They were all poisonous drugs, but the person who made the poison was very smart, and only used a little bit of each and mixed them together. However, Jiang Ziluo felt that either the person who made the poison didn't notice it, or the herbs used were not top-grade herbs.

The effect of the medicine was not too strong, but there was another poison in the Ninth Prince's body. Now both poisons were in his body, roaring.

This is why the Ninth Prince had been in a coma for so long. Now there is an antidote that can detoxify him. I just don’t know if the other poison can be suppressed temporarily like before. Once this poison is completely detoxified, Jiang Ziluo will have plenty of ways to deal with it.

Jiang Ziluo held the poison bottle and said, "Let's leave. I found what I want."

As he said that, he went to close the lid of the box. Just as he closed the lid, Jiang Ziluo had already put the things inside into the space.

Leng Chenming also helped to cover the lid, but Jiang Ziluo stopped him and thought of a good excuse.

"Don't do it, Master Leng. I want to take a look at these things again. If I can't take them away, you should let me take a look, right? I won't be able to see them in the future."

In Leng Chenming's impression, Jiang Ziluo was a money-loving child, so now that he had such a request, he just treated it as coaxing the child.
