Female supremacy: The evil woman only wants to ascend the throne

The man's words attracted Wan Qingyan's attention.

If this is true, the Qingzhou officialdom will be in turmoil.

"Do you know the exact location of the secret letter? I'll send someone to take you there now!"

Wan Qingyan asked anxiously, his lips slightly raised and a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

If these secret letters could be obtained, Li Guoan would be like meat on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.

"I only know the approximate location. It will definitely take some time to find the secret letter."

The man nodded and answered honestly.

"Okay, hurry up and follow me."

Wan Qingyan took the man out of the house and went to the front hall of the yamen.

"Eighth sister, I have a task for you, so be quick.

Take Ma Chengguo's husband to the Ma Mansion.

Find some confidential letters, and he will tell you the exact location."

Wan Qingyan walked quickly towards Wan Qingyu and whispered softly.

"Yes, Fifth Sister."

Wan Qingyu put down the teacup and without wasting any time, immediately took the man out.

Wan Qingyan looked at the backs of the two men and unconsciously clenched his fists.

His brows furrowed slightly, his heart filled with anticipation making him feel anxious.

On the other side, Wan Qingyu rode his horse at full speed and rushed to the Ma Mansion.

She attaches great importance to this operation. Since it involves confidential letters, nothing can go wrong.

She suddenly realized something was wrong and felt like someone was spying on her.

She immediately became alert and looked around.

Sure enough, there were a few people wearing black scarves, with their heads lowered, and their faces could not be seen clearly.

He kept moving among the victims and following them.

She immediately protected Ma Chengguo's husband by her side.

“Whoosh…whoosh”

Suddenly, a sharp arrow was shot out from somewhere.

"Everyone, be alert. There's an enemy attack. Be careful."

Wan Qingyu protected the man and shouted loudly to the soldiers.

"Yes, Your Highness."

The soldiers responded loudly, then took out their shields and formed a defensive formation.

Protect Wan Qingyu and the man in the center to ensure their safety.

Another team of soldiers bent their bows and shot arrows in retaliation.

“Swoosh…swoosh”

Sharp arrows kept shooting back and forth, and the man trembled with fear.

Wan Qingyu's face was solemn. He gritted his teeth and suppressed the anger in his heart.

They actually dared to commit murder in the street. It's simply lawless.

After a while, there was no movement outside.

"Your Highness, the thief has already escaped along the beams of the house. Should we chase him?"

The soldiers took off their shields and asked respectfully.

"No need to chase, let's continue on our way."

Wan Qingyu replied coldly, murderous intent in his eyes.

He immediately jumped on his horse, waved the whip, and rushed to the Ma Mansion at full speed.

Wan Qingyu had a guess in his mind that needed to be verified urgently.

When they arrived at the Ma Mansion, it was empty and quiet.

"Lead the way, hurry up."

Wan Qingyu turned and stared at the man with a stern expression, then reached out and pulled him forward.

"Okay, come with me."

The man responded with a grin, his brow furrowed.

Wan Qingyu pulled his arm hard, causing him to grimace in pain, but he dared not say anything.

"Ah."

Wan Qingyu saw the man's expression of pain, hummed, and let go of his hand.

She knew that this man was a key witness and didn't want to use force against him.

The group followed the man into a study.

"Your Highness, I only know that Ma Chengguo would put important letters into the dark room in this study.

But I don't know how to open this dark room.

I have discussed this situation with His Highness the Fifth Prince."

The man lowered his head and explained in a hesitant tone.

He knew they were in a hurry, but he really didn't know how to open the darkroom.

"Okay, let's try together, find the mechanism as quickly as possible and enter the dark room.

Whoever finds the mechanism first will be rewarded handsomely! "

Wan Qingyu didn't dwell on this issue and directly mobilized the soldiers.

He began to search for the mechanism that could open the dark room in the study.

With strength in numbers, soon all the decorations, floors and walls in the study were cleared.

They were all investigated, but the mechanism was still not found.

Wan Qingyu frowned and suppressed the anger in his heart.

She leaned against the wall and took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.

She suddenly felt something was wrong and had a guess.

The brick on the wall she was leaning against wasn't holding her up properly.

She tried leaning on another brick to experiment.

Sure enough, the supporting force is different, with subtle differences.

She reached out and knocked on the brick again, and it was not hollow.

Wan Qingyu was a little doubtful about himself. Was he wrong in his guess?

But there is no time to dwell on this now, I would rather guess wrong than let it go!

"Come on, dig up this brick, quickly!"

Wan Qingyu gave the order and unconsciously clenched his fists, his eyes full of anticipation.

She hoped her guess was right!

The soldiers quickly dug out the brick, and sure enough, there was a secret inside!

This brick is half solid and half hollow.

No wonder she felt uncomfortable leaning against it, and the sound was still solid when she knocked.

It's easy to get away with it if you're not careful.

As soon as the brick was dug out, the bookshelf suddenly moved to the sides, and a secret passage appeared on the ground.

"Found it! You come down with me, and the rest of you stay here to guard it."

Wan Qingyu took out a fire starter from his pocket.

Lead the man down the secret stairs.

Not long after I went down, there was a sudden light in front of my eyes, the candlelight was so bright that it was blinding.

Wan Qingyu's heart sank and he smelled smoke.

Continue walking forward and you will see a mahogany table.

As well as a dead woman's body and a still-burning brazier.

Wan Qingyu rushed towards the brazier and kicked it over.

Suddenly the ashes in the brazier spread in the dark room, choking the man and making him cry and nose run.

Wan Qingyu looked at the burnt ashes without a solemn expression.

Then she sneered helplessly. She was still a step too late, which verified her guess.

Wan Qingyu glanced at the corpse, took out a silver dagger and stabbed it into the corpse's throat.

After a while, he pulled it out with force and took a closer look. Sure enough, the dagger was black.

This person died of poisoning.

Wan Qingyu used the corpse's clothes to wipe the dagger clean and shouted at the man.

"Do you recognize this dead body?"

The man covered his mouth and nose, walked forward and took a closer look.

"I don't know him, I've never seen him before!"

The man shook his head, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"You go up first."

Wan Qingyu sent the man away and searched the dark room carefully.

Still getting nothing, she also figured out the cause and effect.

The gang first attacked people in the street to delay time and divert attention.

It is to buy time for this woman and destroy the evidence.

After the woman burned the secret letter completely, she committed suicide by taking poison, destroying all the witnesses and evidence.

After such a series of actions, it is really impossible to find any evidence. It is really a grand and effective move.

This group of people not only had the power to carry out the assassination in the street, but also had the ability to accurately find this secret room.

It is obvious that he came well prepared. There are not many people in Qingzhou who have such strength.

Wan Qingyu thought of this and sneered.

With a look of disdain in his eyes, he turned around and walked up, dragging the corpse.

Wan Qingyu ordered the Ma Mansion to be sealed off and no one was allowed to enter.

He rushed back to the yamen with the man and the corpse.
