Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly
Chapter 217 Arrival, Investigation
The helicopter landed on an open space outside Ganzhou City. Qinghe and Baili Ye got off the plane and with a thought, they put the plane into space.
At this time, the night in Ganzhou City was exceptionally quiet, with only the occasional whistling of the night wind. The guards at the city gate walked back and forth on the city wall, looking somewhat solemn and nervous.
The two entered the space, turned on the space teleportation function, and flashed into Ganzhou City.
They teleported along the quiet street and soon arrived at the residence of County Magistrate Liao. There were heavy guards outside the residence, and it was obvious that something had happened.
The two of them teleported into the mansion, searched several times inside the mansion, and found a room with lights on in the backyard. When they came to the door, they heard voices coming from inside the room.
"Madam Zhang, where did the master go? It's been so many days, why is there no news at all?" came an anxious voice.
"Ma'am, please don't worry. As the saying goes, no news is good news. The master is a lucky man, and nothing will happen to him."
"The master hasn't been home for seven days, Qiang'er and Yan Niang are not at home either. Yan Niang is about to give birth, and they have to go back to her parents' home. This is really worrying!
My left eyelid has been twitching these days, and I always feel like something bad is going to happen."
Then there was another burst of mutterings praying to the gods and Buddhas.
"Madam, didn't the master tell you not to worry about anything and just live your life well?
I think the master has definitely thought everything through, you just need to wait patiently at home."
After listening at the door for a while, Qing He said, "It seems that County Magistrate Liao hasn't been back for several days. Is it possible that he is dead?"
Baili Ye pondered for a while and said:
"The Fourth Prince probably still wants to get what he wants from him, so he won't kill County Magistrate Liao easily, but he won't let him off easily either."
Qinghe nodded, "So what should we do now?"
Baili Ye's eyes flashed with sharpness, and he said:
"Let's find the whereabouts of County Magistrate Liao first. Since he hasn't appeared for so many days, he must be hiding in a very secluded place.
Let's look for clues in the government office first, and then go to the prison to see if there is any news about the county magistrate."
The two quietly left the room and began to search carefully in every corner of the mansion.
After a long time, Qinghe found an unfinished letter in the secret compartment of the bookshelf in the study. The handwriting was a little sloppy, but some of the content could be vaguely recognized.
"Baili Ye, come and take a look at this." Qinghe called softly.
Baili Ye walked over quickly, took the letter and looked at it carefully.
"It seems that County Magistrate Liao seems to have sensed the danger. The letter mentioned that he hid some important things just in case."
"Where would it be hidden?" Qinghe frowned and thought.
"Let's look for it slowly." Baili Ye said as he looked around.
The two searched the room carefully, leaving no corner unsearched.
Suddenly, Baili Ye's eyes fell on a painting on the wall of the study. It was a landscape painting and didn't look special.
But when Baili Ye walked closer and took a closer look, he found that the border of the painting seemed a little loose.
He gently peeled off the painting, and a small secret compartment appeared at the back.
There was a small box in the secret compartment. Qinghe and Baili Ye looked at each other, and a hint of anticipation surged in their hearts.
They carefully opened the box and found an account book inside. After opening it, they discovered that it was the income and expenditure account book of the county government since he took office.
The two were inevitably a little disappointed, but they continued looking without giving up.
Qinghe walked around the desk and suddenly felt something strange under her feet near the chair. She squatted down to check it out carefully. She knocked on the ground with her hand and heard a crisp "dong dong" sound, which was obviously a hollow sound.
"Aye, something's going on here."
Baili Ye hurried over and squatted to check, only to see that one floor tile was a little different from the other bricks. He took out a short knife and gently pried up the floor tile, and a wooden box suddenly appeared in front of him.
The two opened the box and saw many letters and booklets inside.
When the two opened it, they saw that it recorded some secrets that County Magistrate Liao knew, including some illegal acts of the Fourth Prince and his collusion with certain forces.
"With these evidences, we can expose the Fourth Prince's conspiracy and capture all of his people. Let's go find County Magistrate Liao first."
Baili Ye nodded in agreement, "The sooner the better. Xiaohe, pack up your things and let's leave here first."
"Okay." Qinghe agreed.
The night in Ganzhou City is quiet, as if everything is still immersed in peace, but in secret, the waves are already surging.
The two of them teleported to the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
I was surprised to see the decoration style of the mansion in the hall.
The two of them teleported to the Fourth Prince's mansion and were immediately attracted by its decoration style.
The mansion was resplendent with carved beams and painted buildings, and every detail showed luxury and nobility.
The ceiling of the hall is painted with exquisite patterns, and every ornament sparkles with brilliant light.
The floor was covered with expensive carpet, soft and comfortable.
The furniture is made of high-quality wood and carved with exquisite patterns, making it look grand and elegant.
"The Fourth Prince's mansion is so luxurious, even more luxurious than the imperial palace. It seems that he has plundered a lot of people's money." Qinghe couldn't help but say.
Baili Ye nodded, "He obtained all this wealth through improper means. Once his crimes are exposed, he must be punished accordingly."
The two continued to search for the whereabouts of County Magistrate Liao in the mansion, but found that the guards in the mansion were extremely strict, as if they were guarding against something.
He passed the patrol teams one by one in the space and teleported all the way to the study.
Following the same method, the two of them searched carefully for evidence in the study.
After some searching, they obtained the fourth prince's handwritten letter and a list of his subordinates.
The evidence was stored in the space, and the most urgent task was to find the whereabouts of County Magistrate Liao.
"It seems that the Fourth Prince has noticed something is wrong and he is stepping up his defenses," Qinghe said.
"It's okay. As long as we are careful, we will definitely find County Magistrate Liao." Baili Ye comforted.
Just then, footsteps were heard and the two quickly hid in the space.
I saw a group of people surrounding a man in gorgeous clothes walking towards me. It was the Fourth Prince.
"Listen carefully, everyone. We must strengthen our defenses and not let anyone get close to here." The Fourth Prince said loudly.
"Yes, Your Highness." Everyone responded in unison.
The fourth prince walked to the desk and sat in the main seat. His face was gloomy, as if he was troubled by something.
"Your Highness, hasn't Magistrate Liao given instructions yet?" asked a subordinate.
"No, this old fox, I didn't expect him to have the guts to spare his life even after his death, and he even sent someone else to kill his son and daughter-in-law.
They must not be allowed to come to the capital to see our father," the fourth prince said with gritted teeth.
"Yes, Your Highness, they have been sent. There has been no news from the people who assassinated them."
