Chapter 188 Secret Room, Secret Passage

Snapped!

Li Chongming clapped his hands suddenly, and said excitedly, "There is indeed a problem with the load-bearing column!"

Di Gongming lightly stroked his beard, looked at Chu Ci and said with a smile, "Thanks to Lord Chu, otherwise we would never have discovered this."

Chu Ci chuckled and said, "It's also a coincidence."

"Come on, let's take a closer look."

Chu Ci and the others walked into the bedroom again, approaching the load-bearing pillars to check carefully.

After changing several angles, Chu Ci finally saw the traces on the load-bearing pillar clearly.

Someone wiped the surface of the load-bearing column with the pulp of a finger, leaving marks that are different from the surrounding ones.

"Bring a pen and paper!"

Di Gongming greeted, and an officer handed over a pen and paper.

Di Gongming compared the pattern on the load-bearing column, and engraved a copy on it with a pen.

Looking at the pattern sketched on the paper, Di Gongming said in a deep voice, "This pattern is definitely not left over by coincidence, but someone wiped it on purpose."

Gongsun Luluo asked suspiciously, "Who is the person who left the trace?"

"King Pan Yang or the murderer?"

Di Gongming looked at his guard and asked, "Chongming, what do you think?"

Li Chongming pondered for a moment, then said, "My subordinates guess that it was left by the murderer!"

"This pattern may be the key to the murderer's disappearance!"

Di Gongming nodded when he heard the words, and said in a deep voice, "The traces on it are still fresh, and the possibility of the murderer is very high."

Turning to look at Chu Ci, Di Gongming asked aloud, "Lord Chu, what do you think?"

Chu Ci chuckled, "You'll know if you try it."

After finishing speaking, Chu Ci put his hand on the load-bearing pillar, and began to draw along the mark on it with the pulp of his index finger.

After a while, Chu Ci drew the same pattern on the load-bearing pillar.

In the next second, the pattern lighted up with white light.

The solid load-bearing column seems to have become unreal.

Chu Ci tentatively stretched out a hand, as if piercing through nothingness and sinking into the load-bearing pillar.

"interesting!"

Chu Ci chuckled lightly, and stepped into it.

Swish!

The void changed, and Chu Ci entered a narrow corridor.

Turning sideways, Chu Ci walked underground along the steps of the corridor.

After walking a dozen steps, the space in front suddenly opened up.

This is an underground space with a size of [-] square meters. The surrounding walls are lit with ever-burning lamps, illuminating the place like daytime.

Chu Ci looked around. There were not only chairs and tea tables, but also beds and stoves.

On the opposite wall, there was a closed iron door.

Da da da···

Hasty footsteps came from behind.

Chu Ci turned around and saw that Di Gongming, Li Chongming, and Gongsun Luluo also came down.

"Lord Chu, what's the situation?"

Seeing Chu Ci's figure, Di Gongming hurriedly asked.

Chu Ci turned sideways and said, "Master Di, you can see for yourself."

Di Gongming walked quickly to the underground space, looked around, and said in surprise, "Is this a shelter?"

Chu Ci pointed to the iron gate opposite and said, "More than that, Mr. Di, look at that iron gate, it should lead to other places."

"It is very likely that the murderer left the crime scene through here."

Hearing the words, Di Gongming straightened his beard and said, "It should be like this."

"Let's open the door and go in."

Li Chongming hurriedly took a step forward, "My lord let me come."

Li Chongming walked quickly to the iron gate and pushed open the tightly closed iron gate.

As expected, there was a passage behind the iron gate, and torches were lit on the walls on both sides.

Li Chongming looked down the passage and saw that the passage was so deep that there was no end in sight.

"Come on, go in and have a look."

Li Chongming walked in the front with a torch, Chu Ci and Di Gongming were in the middle, and Gongsun Luluo walked in the back.

There was no fork in the passage, and several people walked along the passage. After walking for about a stick of incense, the passage began to go upwards obliquely.

Chu Ci guessed that the tunnel should end.

After a few breaths, a little light appeared in front of the passage.

squeak-

There was the sound of the door turning.

Li Chongming extinguished the torch and pushed open an iron door in front of the passage.

Several people walked out of the passage one by one and came to a hut.

Chu Ci turned his head and looked around. The furnishings in the room were very ordinary, and there was nothing special about them.

Di Gongming pondered for a moment, then looked at Li Chongming and said, "Chongming, go out and check the situation."

"Yes, my lord!"

Li Chongming pushed open the door and walked out.

After a while, Li Chongming greeted him outside the house, "My lord, come out."

Chu Ci and the others pushed the door out and looked around.

"This is the outer city?"

Chu Ci was surprised that this passage leads directly to the outer city.

Di Gongming stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, then said, "Chongming, you are looking around for news."

After finishing speaking, Di Gongming looked at Chu Ci and said, "Master Chu, let's go back first."

"I need to look up the patterns on the load-bearing posts."

Chu Ci nodded slightly, and returned to the house with Di Gongming and Gongsun Luluo, and returned to the Panyang Palace along the passage.

After leaving Prince Panyang's mansion, Di Gongming hurried to Dali Temple.

Before leaving, Di Gongming also asked Gongsun Luluo to stay in Shengjing City temporarily and not to leave.

Chu Ci looked at Gongsun Luluo and asked, "Miss Gongsun, where do you live?"

Gongsun Luluo chuckled and said, "It's better to live in the teahouse."

"Young Master Chu, come to the teahouse if you have time, let's continue to drink and compete!"

Chu Ci nodded slightly when he heard the words, and said with a smile, "I just want to enjoy Miss Gongsun's sword dance performance."

Gongsun Luluo smiled and cupped her hands and said, "Young Master Chu, take your leave!"

"Farewell!"

Chu Ci watched Gongsun Luluo leave and walk away.

Chu Ci left the Panyang Prince's Mansion, first went to the headquarters of the Department of Strangeness, and found that there was nothing wrong with him.

Resolutely left the Headquarters of the Department of Strange Affairs, found a teahouse and listened to the ditties all morning.

Chapter 189 Gongsun Luluo, something is wrong with you!

Chu Ci spent the whole morning in the teahouse. After guessing that Xiuyufang was still open, he threw down a piece of silver and walked out of the teahouse.

Xiuyufang.

Ju Qianyi did not perform on stage today.

Chuci let go of the enthusiastic sister Yu and went directly to the small courtyard where Ju Qianyi lived.

"Master~"

Seeing Chu Ci, Ju Qianyi immediately threw herself into Chu Ci's arms.

Chu Ci smiled and rubbed Ju Qianyi's hair.

Ju Qianyi sat down leaning against Chu Ci, and said aloud, "Master, I heard that the Panyang Palace was destroyed?"

Chu Ci nodded slightly and said, "If you don't leave one, they will all die."

"It deserves it!" Ju Qianyi's eyes flashed coldly, and she said with a cold snort, "King Pan Yang dared to secretly pay for his master to assassinate him. Even if he doesn't die, the slaves will kill him all over the house!"

Chu Ci rubbed Ju Qianyi's hair, and said with a smile, "Okay, you are a weak woman, how can you be so murderous?"

"Hmm~" Ju Qianyi poked her head at Chuci's murderer, and said softly, "The slave is worried about the master."

Ju Qianyi's voice was as gentle as water, and she looked harmless to humans and animals.

He completely forgot that he had ordered Feixu Piaoxue to kill the assassin who assassinated Chu Ci.

"Owner."

Ju Qianyi looked at Chu Ci, and said softly, "Natulu, who was punched by you yesterday, was rescued."

"Oh?" A strange look flashed in Chu Ci's eyes, "Who saved it?"

He was very clear about the strength of Chu Ci's punch, and it would definitely shatter Natulu's internal organs!

Unless it is a seventh-order powerhouse who can be reborn with a broken limb, he will definitely not be able to survive such a serious injury!

Ju Qianyi stretched out her hand to draw a circle on Chu Ci's chest, and said, "It's the female envoy of the Langxu Kingdom, Saihanram."

"She should have revived Natulu with witchcraft."

Chu Ci nodded slightly, smiled inadvertently, "There are some tricks."

A smile appeared on the corner of Ju Qianyi's mouth, and she said, "Master, I asked Feixu Piaoxue to check the envoys of Chalangxu Kingdom, and found something interesting."

Ci was startled when he heard the words, and asked curiously, "What's interesting?"

Ju Qianyi chuckled lightly, "The envoys of the Langxu Kingdom will actually reward the beggars on the roadside!"

"Heh!" Ju Qianyi sneered disdainfully, and continued, "Langxu Kingdom looted and slaughtered many imperial people in the border town."

"It's really ironic to reward roadside beggars in Shengjing City!"

Chu Ci's eyes were slightly cold, and he asked aloud, "Do you know the reason?"

Ju Qianyi shook her head and said, "Still investigating."

"However, I feel that this matter probably has something to do with the Earthly Branches of the Demon League."

Chu Ci nodded slightly, closed his eyes and meditated.

Seeing Chu Ci's silence, Ju Qianyi stretched out her hand to pull Chu Ci's sleeve with her red lips slightly raised.

"Master, don't think too much."

"We should get down to business~"

Chu Ci opened his eyes to look at Ju Qianyi, and asked, "Have you remembered the movements I taught you earlier?"
