After my mind was read, I became the emperor's favorite

The Wuyi Guards searched the entire Wu Mansion and only found two secret rooms: the study in the main courtyard and the bedroom of the head of the Wu family.

But I didn't find anything too inappropriate in it.

The secret room in the bedroom contains a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, real estate deeds, antiques, treasures, calligraphy and paintings by famous people, etc.

There are so many things to see and it is overwhelming to take in. A conservative estimate is that the amount is about 10 million taels.

However, as an old family that has gone through several dynasties and accumulated hundreds of years of experience, these foundations can be barely explained.

Some account books and letters were found in the secret room of the study, which were mostly things used to bribe officials and deal with favors.

Although it was somewhat beyond reasonable limits, it did not reach the point of confiscating the Wu family's property and punishing them.

On the contrary, the living quarters of the women were filthy and messy, and aphrodisiacs and aphrodisiacs were just appetizers.

What's worse is that there are all kinds of chronic poisons, abortion drugs, corpses of maids and slaves, imprisoned children and girls, etc.

It was so terrifying that even these iron-willed Wuyi Guards felt terrified and frightened. When this woman became vicious, it was really hard to resist.

However, these were all minor, private crimes, and there was absolutely no need to alarm the Jinyiwei and Wuyiwei.

Furthermore, although the evidence in their hands was sufficient, it only involved suspected serious crimes and could not completely nail down the entire Wu family at once.

It requires many steps including thorough investigation, evidence collection, and trial. Maybe if the Wu family handles it properly, they can even make a comeback.

Not only Yin Shen was unwilling to accept the anticlimactic ending, but even Jun Linyuan was unwilling to do so.

Looking at the solemn report of the Wuyiwei, he found that nothing fatal was brought up.

Everyone in the Wu family relaxed immediately, and looked back at the people on the main seat with more confidence, especially the arrogant young Wuyi Guard.

Thinking about this, I will definitely report these people for trespassing into private homes and slandering imperial officials.

But will they really get what they want? Of course not.

Jun Linyuan and his men came to the inner room, leaving only a deputy commander of the Jinyiwei to guard the Wu family outside.

Qi Mingze took out a pre-drawn map of the Wu family's residence and asked everyone to report on the search.

Then he carefully inquired about the places that the servant Ying Shiyi had passed by, and called the spy arranged by Jun Linyuan to the Wu Mansion.

Finally, two places were decided: the greenhouse in the backyard managed by the old man and the fire room in the main courtyard.

These were the places where the head of the Wu family or the old man often appeared. He told everyone the reason, and they suddenly realized it.

After Qi Mingze explained this, they found some of the connections reasonable.

These two places did not attract the attention of the Wuyi Guards, and they just searched them briefly and then passed them over.

"Commander Yun, let's search these two places again."

"it is good."

'Jun Linyuan' was in tool man mode, not thinking at all and just nodding in agreement.

With Xiao Che, an intellectual who could see through everything and control the overall situation, he felt it would be better for him not to make any random suggestions.

Otherwise, if he doesn't hit the point, it will be a small matter. If he makes a lot of mistakes and gets slapped in the face, it will hurt his self-esteem as an emperor.

The main reason is that there is such a crappy system, and this kind of black history will be recorded for your whole life.

Then drag it out in front of Xiao Che and whip its corpse repeatedly, and the key is that you can't do anything about it.

Yin Shen watched the young man unraveling the mystery and directing the layout the whole time. The more he watched, the more familiar the scene seemed to him.

But he observed carefully and found that there was indeed no sign that the man was wearing a human skin mask.

But what about that look of pride and doting in His Majesty's eyes?

It doesn't look like a fake at all. Could it be that His Majesty is really a heartless person who falls in love with every woman he meets?

The reputation of 'Jun Linyuan' was damaged, but he knew nothing about it.

The main reason is that it is impossible to tell what Yin Shen is thinking from his expressionless face, so His Majesty has never known that his secret guard leader has such a rich inner drama.

The few of them first came to the greenhouse, which was full of colorful flowers. It seemed that the owner really took good care of these flowers and trees.

But after searching everywhere, they couldn't find any mechanism or secret compartment.

Just when they thought they would not gain anything here and were about to move on to the next location, Qi Mingze directly pointed out the trick.

“You will take five pots of flowers: golden chrysanthemum, kapok, daffodil, pyracantha, and oxtail.

Move them to the west, east, Kun, Qian, and center respectively, and then rotate the flower pot."

Everyone was puzzled, but still did as they were told.

Sure enough, when the flower disc was turned, a slight clicking sound was heard.

When the five flower trays were adjusted into place, a secret passage suddenly appeared on the inside of the greenhouse.

Several people looked at the calm young man behind them with either surprise or confusion, as if hoping he could solve their doubts.

Looking at the curiosity in everyone's eyes, Qi Mingze sighed.

I could only pick up my role as a teacher again and explain the mystery to them.

“These aren’t large flowers, but they’re planted in such large pots, which is an anomaly.

If the five elements symbols are engraved on the flowerpot and corresponding flower species are planted in it, then its owner must be good at the five elements and eight trigrams.

But these pots of flowers were obviously not placed in the place where they belonged.

So as long as we restore them, what we want will naturally appear.

However, everyone should be cautious when entering this secret passage.

The designer of this house is a direct descendant of the Mohist school, so there might be some other tricks, who knows."

After listening to Qi Mingze's explanation, everyone realized the gap between them and Mr. Qin. No wonder the commander asked them to obey Mr. Qin's command.

This person's level of layout design, insight into people's hearts and mechanisms is probably not much inferior to Lord Qi.

It’s a pity that Lord Qi was called back by Marquis Wuwei, otherwise these two would be a perfect match and would achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Real Lord Qi didn't know what they were thinking. He just asked a few people to stay outside when everyone wanted to go in.

This kind of mechanism might be closed once you enter it, and you would then have to work hard to find the exit.

Originally, Jun Linyuan did not agree to let Qi Mingze go in with him, but he could not resist his lover's pleading gaze.

In the end, he had no choice but to compromise and said that if there was any danger, he must be the first to come up.

Sure enough, as soon as they entered, the door closed.

The door opened again after someone outside moved the flower pot.

Everyone walked into the secret passage cautiously, but encountered a trap in the first section.

After going through several layers of traps, if it weren’t for Qi Mingze’s sharp eyes, quick reaction and accurate calculations, he would have been defeated.

If we instruct them to destroy the center of the formation in time, we may not be able to reach the center safely.

The last mechanism was destroyed, a secret door opened, and an entire corridor of weapons came into view.

This number is more than enough to support an army. The Wu family is guilty of treason just for hoarding weapons.

As they continued their search, they discovered a large amount of well-stored private salt and official silver used for disaster relief during the previous emperor's reign.

It seems that this is where the Wu family stores deadly items. No wonder there are so many traps here.

If it weren't for Mr. Qin, they might have missed it. Even if they found the secret passage, it would have cost a considerable price.

Everyone was once again thankful for Jun Linyuan's wisdom and admired Mr. Qin's ability even more.

(I didn’t describe the process of dismantling the mechanism in detail because I was afraid that the kids wouldn’t like it.

If more than 100 people leave comments and want to see it, I'll post the process.
