At this time, the entrance to the tunnel had been dug open, and a vertical hole pointing downwards could be seen.
Lu Xuan took a look in surprise and asked in confusion, "How did you find this tunnel?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a Black Qilin Guard reported: "The body was actually lying here in the tunnel. The coroner examined the body and moved it away. He found a gap in the ground and felt something was wrong.
After the boys dug up the area, they discovered the tunnel. It had originally been filled with soil, presumably to avoid discovery, but it was filled in too hastily, and the soil wasn't compacted, allowing the boys to spot it.
After the boys dug up the filling inside, they found a small door. After opening it, they found a tunnel leading to the outside.
Some people have already gone out along the tunnel, but they haven't returned yet, so it's still unclear where the tunnel leads to."
Lu Xuan nodded. "So that's how it is. Since there's a tunnel hidden here, and someone's filling it with soil, it's impossible for the people living here to be unaware of it.
Bring back the remaining people from Duke Cheng'en's mansion and interrogate them thoroughly. No matter what method you use, you must pry their mouths open!"
"Yes!"
Soon, all the people in the Cheng'en Mansion, regardless of gender, age, or status, were taken back to the Black Kirin Guard prison.
Everyone was in a state of bereavement, and many women and children even cried out of fear, looking extremely miserable.
Luo Zheng and Lu Xuan stayed in the Cheng'en Mansion and continued searching for a while, becoming increasingly certain that someone had emptied the warehouse in advance.
The exit of the tunnel in Chen Shou's bedroom was also filled with soil.
When the Black Kylin Guards dug through the exit, they discovered that outside was an ordinary small house, which was already deserted.
The house was two streets away from the Cheng'en Mansion. Although it was not far, digging such a tunnel would not be a one-day job.
It was obvious that the Cheng'en Mansion had secretly dug this tunnel long ago to facilitate escape after the matter was exposed.
In order to prevent people from discovering the tunnel hidden in the small house, Duke Cheng'en's mansion deliberately arranged for people to live inside.
It is said that he was a candidate who had failed in the exams many times. He had an ordinary appearance, was very gloomy, and had an unpleasant personality.
So people around him were unwilling to associate with him.
Even naughty children dared not enter his yard.
After hearing the news, Luo Zheng and Lu Xuan went to the house to check it out in person. It turned out to be just an ordinary small house, and they couldn't find any clues.
There is a quiet alley next to the house, and not far from the alley is the bustling street market.
Even if someone comes out, they can quickly disappear in the crowd.
Luo Zheng and Lu Xuan both suspected that Chen Shou had already changed his appearance and escaped from the capital before dark yesterday.
The world is so big, and the Chen family has made preparations in advance. It would be extremely difficult to find the person from the vast crowd!
Thinking of this, both of them felt a little heavy.
But they did not dare to delay and sent people to rush to the city gate to inquire and see if they could find any clues.
Then he went directly to the palace to report.
After hearing this, Emperor Taihe's expression instantly turned extremely ugly.
Yesterday, Duke Cheng'en's Mansion was besieged by the Black Kirin Guards. Even if Chen Shou escaped through the tunnel, it would be impossible for him to empty the Chen family warehouse so quickly.
Whether it was the Chen family’s warehouse being emptied or the tunnel, it showed that the Chen family had been prepared for this!
I'm afraid that the Chen family had been on guard long before Chen Fang was arrested, or even earlier, when Xu Maochun was arrested!
What a great Chen family!
How blind he was to believe they were good people!
Emperor Taihe was furious and called Wang Zhi over. He asked in a deep voice, "Is that bitch awake?"
Wang Zhi knew he was talking about Chen Huan, so he quickly said, "Your Majesty, that person may be seriously injured and is still in a coma and has not yet woken up."
Emperor Taihe endured and endured, finally suppressing the thought of forcibly waking Chen Huan up immediately, and said with a sullen face: "Humph, such a big thing happened to the Chen family, but she is fine!
