Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team

Di Renjie pushed open the door of the second hall and stepped into it.

Several people followed in. Li Cunxi and Hu Jinghui, who already knew the secret, were not in a hurry and just waited for Di Renjie to continue observing.

Looking around, Di Renjie didn't find anything strange.

So he focused his observations on the ground.

Li Cunxi handed the mung bean cake in his hand to Li Yuanfang and said, "This mung bean cake is very delicious. Brother Yuanfang, do you want to have one?"

Li Yuanfang waved his hand: "Thank you, Master Cunxi, I don't eat this."

Li Cunxi said "Oh", and suddenly said: "Hey, why do the bricks under my feet feel a little strange?"

Di Renjie immediately looked at the ground under Li Cunxi's feet and saw that there seemed to be something wrong with the bricks.

Hu Jinghui also spoke up immediately: "Sir, there seem to be gaps on the edges of these bricks, and the color is wrong!"

Di Renjie immediately called out: "Bring some water!"

Li Cunxi quickly stepped aside and took the mung bean cake to eat.

Hu Jinghui also came to Li Cunxi. Hu Jinghui, who had never eaten mung bean cake before, actually picked up a piece of mung bean cake and put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.

“Cunxi, it smells so good!”

"It smells good, Brother Jinghui. This thing is really delicious."

"Then I'll have two more."

"Okay, come."

While we were enjoying the delicious mung bean cake, the silver officer outside had already brought over a container filled with water.

Di Renjie held the container and poured water into the gap.

After just a few breaths, the water had actually seeped into the cracks.

The foundation of a house these days is not considered soft, let alone the second hall of the governor's mansion.

If the foundation of this place was soft, the heads of the builders would have fallen to the ground and rolled hundreds of times.

"There's something wrong, uncle, there must be something wrong down there!"

"There is a problem, sir, there must be something wrong down there!"

Li Cunxi and Hu Jinghui almost blurted it out.

The mung bean cake residue in the two people's mouths involuntarily sprayed out while they were talking and fell to the ground.

"Of course there is a problem!"

Di Renjie stood up and handed the vessel to Li Yuanfang.

"Come here, some people, pry this up for me!"

Four soldiers from the governor's mansion came in and used their hands to pry at the gaps to pull up the four bricks.

Li Cunxi and Hu Jinghui stood together, chewing mung bean cakes, clearly watching the show.

“Cunxi, you are really a lucky star!” Hu Jinghui praised while eating, “If Cunxi hadn’t felt that there was something wrong with the bricks, we wouldn’t have discovered these problems!”

"Hey, Brother Jinghui, you are a lucky man. Brother Jinghui saw the problem with the floor tiles under my crotch at a glance, which really makes Cunxi admire him. I will toast you with mung bean cake!" Li Cunxi raised a piece of mung bean cake.

"I'll also serve you green bean cakes as a treat. Come, eat!"

The two of them rolled up the mung bean cakes and stuffed them into their mouths, which made Di Renjie, who was standing next to them, laugh.

"Okay, okay, this is so harmonious, it should be this way. You two can eat slowly first. I think the bricks will be pulled out soon."

"Uncle, Brother Jinghui and I met in Jiangzhang County, and now we are even closer!"

"One is my son and the other is my nephew. That's great!"

Hu Jinghui was about to say a few words about brotherly love, but out of the corner of his eye he saw that the bricks on the ground had been pulled out.

The bricks were pulled away, and the ring-shaped mechanism underneath was exposed.

"Look, here's the secret. The second hall is closest to the treasury. Dig a secret passage here to get directly to the treasury, move the silver here and send it out, and empty the treasury without anyone noticing."

"This is definitely not something that the idiot Fake Fang Qian could have thought of. It must be Jin Mulan behind this. And I guess that the mysterious person that Fake Fang Qian mentioned must be in the secret passage!"

……

After instructing the Yincaosi not to let anyone in, Di Renjie took the three of them downstairs.

Li Yuanfang walked in front holding a lantern, while Hu Jinghui, as the strongest one, walked at the back to guard against any sudden danger.

After passing the long secret passage, the four people successfully reached the end. There was also a ring-shaped mechanism at the top of the earthen stairs.

Li Cunxi pretended to go forward and pushed it, but found that it wouldn't move. He immediately twisted the ring-shaped mechanism and successfully pushed it up.

"What is that place up there? Is it the treasury?"

"Uncle, it is indeed the treasury." Li Cunxi half of his body was exposed from the secret passage, and inside the treasury, "It is an empty treasury."

"Okay, come down now. It has been confirmed. They transported the official silver out from here."

Di Renjie's guess has been confirmed, and he now knows how Jin Mulan stole the official silver.

However, a new question arises: what was the purpose of stealing government silver?

Moreover, I didn't see any imprisoned people along the way. So where should the person imprisoned in the governor's mansion be?

Di Renjie walked back with a frown on his face.

Li Cunxi had just closed the trap and came down. Seeing Di Renjie was about to leave, he did not notice the trap on the wall, so he hurriedly said:

"Uncle, there seems to be something wrong here. Why is there a square piece of soil on the wall here?"

Di Renjie hurried back, came to Li Cunxi's side, and looked at the square pieces of earth on the wall.

Li Cunxi breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to take out the mung bean cake, but his right hand "accidentally" hit the wall again.

"This sound is wrong!" Hu Jinghui suddenly said, "Sir, this wall sound is wrong!"

Di Renjie quickly knocked on the wall and asked in surprise, "It's empty?"

Li Yuanfang, who was standing by, was already in a mess in the secret passage. He felt that this was too much of a coincidence.

Li Cunxi, who was about to take out the mung bean cake, accidentally knocked on a wall. The sharp-eared Hu Jinghui heard that there was something wrong with the wall.

It seems... that he has nothing to do along the way.

After eating the mung bean cakes, Li Cunxi and Hu Jinghui seemed to have much better luck.

"Cunxi, quickly press this mechanism."

"Yes, uncle."

Li Cunxi stepped forward and pressed the mechanism heavily.

Knowing that the mechanism was only to open the door and there was no danger, Li Cunxi was more relaxed.

Sure enough, as soon as he pressed the mechanism, a part of the wall in front of Li Cunxi moved inwards into the aisle like a door.

"This……"

Di Renjie was so shocked that he could only say:

"Cunxi is truly a lucky star!"

Li Yuanfang took out his chain knife from somewhere and said, "My lord, sir, General Hu, I'll go in and take a look!"

Li Cunxi tactfully stepped aside, and Di Renjie handed the lantern to Li Yuanfang.

"Be careful, Yuan Fang."

Li Yuanfang walked inside with a chain knife in one hand and a lantern in the other.

Li Cunxi followed with a swagger, and even took out an oil-paper bag from his arms, opened it, picked up the mung bean cake and put it into his mouth.

"Sir, this place is dangerous."

"With you in front, it won't be dangerous."

After they walked a few steps, they saw a slightly larger room in front of them.

Hay was spread on the ground and a man was sitting with his back to them.

Li Yuanfang, who was afraid of ghosts, shouted:

"who are you?"
