If the business woman does not help the poor, the villain's dream of prosperity will be shatter

The search of Xuanlang Pavilion was completed, and nothing else was found except the rag doll.

Exit the small corner gate in the northwest of Xuanlang Pavilion, follow an alley, and pass through another corner gate to enter the backyard.

The courtyard separated from Xuanlang Pavilion by a wall, named "Yunxi Courtyard", was in a mess at this time.

There were a lot of wood, tung oil paint, new furniture and old flowers and plants that had not been cleaned up in the yard.

Zhou Chang tapped his palm with his fan and asked curiously, "Brother San is renovating the courtyard to prepare for welcoming a new person into the mansion?"

Zhou Min looked at Qin Shu and hummed softly.

Qin Shu's heart skipped a beat and she quickly looked at Zhu Minzhi who was standing in the yard and looking around.

Zhou Chang smiled, walked past Qin Shu and entered the courtyard, sighing, "Although this place is full of debris and very messy, it can be seen that Third Brother has really put a lot of thought into this courtyard. I wonder which woman is so lucky to be valued so much by Third Brother?"

Zhou Min followed Zhou Chang into the courtyard and said as he passed Qin Shu, "You'll know once we get into the mansion."

After walking a few steps, seeing Qin Shu still standing there, Zhou Min turned around and asked, "Don't you want to come in and take a look?"

Qin Shu had no choice but to follow Zhou Min in.

The courtyard is very small and exquisite. The main hall has five rooms plus two side rooms, and the east and west side halls have five rooms each.

There is no back seat, and there is a small garden in front of the door.

There are mountains, water, precious flowers and plants, pavilions and towers.

Just looking at the prototype is already amazing.

The paint on the columns has been sanded off and has not yet been freshly painted.

On the white jade handrails on both sides of the stone steps in front of the main hall, lively rabbits were carved. The stone chips on the ground had not been cleaned up yet.

Qin Shu's zodiac sign is rabbit.

Zhou Chang looked back at Qin Shu with a smile and asked, "Miss Qin, this rabbit is quite cute, huh?"

Qin Shu smiled gently, "Yes, she is as cute as Your Highness."

Zhou Chang's shy smile froze in an instant, and his face turned slightly red.

He tapped his forehead with his fan, coughed lightly, and turned to walk into the hall.

Zhou Min's gloomy face cleared up and he chuckled softly.

There is a large amount of wood in the main hall, as well as various finished and half-finished furniture.

The whole hall was filled with a faint woody fragrance.

All the wood is top quality rosewood.

Through the partition on the east side, you can see the outline of a step-out bed in the inner room.

Qin Shu saw Zhu Minzhi and Wu Weijun rummaging around inside, knocking on the walls and the ground from time to time, and suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

She closed her eyes slightly and silently chanted "dragon robe" in her heart.

Zhou Min was about to walk over when he saw her suddenly open her eyes and look at him.

Zhou Min's heart skipped a beat. Before he could open his mouth to ask, he saw two guards working together to lift up a piece of floor, revealing a pitch-black hole underneath.

Zhou Min just felt a buzzing in his head and his whole body was numb. He thought to himself that it was all over!

This secret room must have been built secretly by craftsmen sent by the Ministry of Works without the knowledge of the supervisors in the palace.

The purpose is for today.

No matter how careful you are, there is always a loophole!

Zhu Minzhi gave Zhou Min a meaningful look, then lightly lifted the hem of his robe and walked down the wooden steps.

After a moment of hesitation, Qin Shu quickly followed.

Zhou Min and Zhou Chang followed closely behind.

This secret room is not big. People have to bend over when walking inside. It is only about six feet square.

It was empty inside.

Zhu Minzhi couldn't believe his eyes and rubbed them again and again. When he looked carefully again, there was still nothing.

Qin Shu curled her lips slightly, looked at him sarcastically, and said, "Master Zhu, even if you dig out your eyeballs, there is still nothing here. Could it be that Master Zhu already knew that there must be something hidden in it?"

Zhu Min glared at Qin Shu fiercely and stood up straight with a menacing look.

In his rage, he forgot that the room was not high enough. When he looked up, he heard a dull thud and his head hit the wooden board above him, almost bringing tears to his eyes.

Qin Shu exclaimed, "Master Zhu, is this floor strong enough? Master Zhu is really conscientious. He is afraid that the floor is not strong enough and he has to test it himself."

Zhu Minzhi glared at Qin Shu fiercely and ordered the Wuwei Army above him, "Bring torches."

The torches were quickly brought.

Zhu Minzhi held the torch and illuminated the secret room under his feet.

Because there was carpentry work going on above, a lot of sawdust and dust accumulated in the secret room.

In the thick dust, there was a square mark. The mark was clean except for a few footprints that Zhu Min accidentally stepped on when he went straight down.

Zhu Minzhi sneered: "There should have been a box hidden here not long ago."

Qin Shu squatted at the edge of the secret room and asked curiously, "Where is the box?"

Zhu Min looked straight at Zhou Min, "You'll have to ask His Royal Highness Prince Jin where the box is."

Zhou Min frowned and said, "This courtyard is under renovation. I've been very busy all day and haven't been here for a long time. How do I know what boxes are inside?"

He stared at Zhu Minzhi coldly, "Or, Shaoqing Zhu, come and tell me what kind of box is here and where it went?"

Zhu Minzhi was left speechless by the question.

Zhu Minzhi worked for half a day and half a night, but only "found" the puppet that Wu Wei had smuggled in.

My mood has reached its worst.

The search continued until the end of midnight. Prince Yu Zhou Chang could no longer bear it and found a place to sleep.

Qin Shu covered her mouth and yawned delicately, and weakly directed everyone, "Cheer up and continue searching."

so sleepy!

Fortunately, King Jin ordered someone to send her snacks and tea.

I barely managed to fill my stomach.

But Zhu Minzhi didn't receive such treatment.

He was tired, hungry, and had no results. He was also very angry and furious.

He wanted to hit Qin Shu, who was leaning on the chair, supporting her forehead and yawning, with a hammer.

Wu Weijun worked for nearly six hours without even a sip of water to drink. He was tired, hungry, and sleepy. His searching movements became slower and slower, and his attitude became more and more perfunctory.

Only half of the Prince Jin’s mansion had been searched.

Cao Canjun, a soldier of the Left Guard, came over and quietly asked Zhu Minzhi, "Master Zhu, you see the brothers have been busy for so long, can you let them first..."

Qin Shu, who was dozing off with her eyes squinted, opened her eyes and said repeatedly, "How can that be possible? His Majesty is still waiting for news. We have only searched halfway, and if we take a break, all our efforts will be wasted, and we will have to start all over again."

"This mansion is so big, I'm afraid we won't be able to finish searching it until next year. Anyway, we've already searched half of it. If we work harder, we'll probably finish it before dawn."

Then he looked at Zhu Minzhi with a smile, "Isn't that right, Master Zhu?"

Zhu Min stared at Qin Shu viciously with his bloodshot eyes.

Qin Shu asked suspiciously, "Does Master Zhu have other ideas? If Master Zhu doesn't want to continue searching, Qin Shu naturally has no objection."

Zhu Minzhi felt a breath stuck in his throat and he almost suffocated.

What did he say?

Did he say anything?

Zhu Minzhi thought bitterly in his heart: When His Royal Highness Prince Ning ascends the throne, he will make sure this dead girl has a taste of his Dali Temple's methods!
