Li Junze had to stop his impatient steps and glance at Hu Ziping.

As a result, the change in his gaze made Sang Mo look at Hu Ziping beside him.

"Hey, why does this guy have such a strong Yanbei accent when he speaks? Did he just come from Yanbei?"

Hu Ziping immediately lowered his head and dared not speak again.

Li Junze was also startled. He didn't expect Sang Mo to be involved in this matter. He could only continue to ask along the same topic.

"Chief Sang, when can we release them?"

This was considered a compromise on his part, and he did not insist on taking them back now.

Hu Ziping felt relieved. The Third Prince had made a concession, which was much better than he had expected.

However, Sang Mo's words did not give Li Junze any face. He said,

"I can't give you an answer, Your Highness. After all, it depends on their performance. If they insist on not saying anything, then I can only continue to ask."

As for how to ask, that is up to the people in the Dali Temple.

"Why, are you still planning to torture me into confessing? I want to see who has the guts to treat even the people in my house unfairly."

"Your Highness, be careful with your words. You shouldn't say such things in front of the Dali Temple. If Lord Yan hears it, he might..."

Sang Mo didn't finish his words, but Li Junze and everyone else had already understood the meaning of his words.

Lord Yan is most particular about fairness in his work, and this is something that everyone has witnessed. I am afraid that not many people will believe what the Third Prince said today.

"Okay, okay, Chief Sang, call Yan Nangui out and I'll talk to him."

"Lord Yan is questioning those people now. He... is not free, so he asked me to come out and answer His Highness."

After hearing these words, if Hu Ziping had not been beside him, reminding him of Wang Zhuo's instructions, he would have jumped up and taken action long ago.

He had disliked Sang Mo for a long time, and what he did today made him extremely angry.

Just when he was on the verge of exploding, a servant ran to Li Junze's ear and whispered,

"Third Prince, it's bad. Scholar Wang vomited blood and fainted."

This was what Ji Ping sent someone to tell him, because he was afraid that Hu Ziping would not be able to persuade Li Junze and would make the situation worse.

Li Junze was indeed shocked after hearing this. At such a critical moment, nothing can happen to Wang Zhuo, otherwise all the efforts would be wasted.

He didn't have time to deal with Sang Mo anymore and rushed to the scholar's mansion with his men.

On Sang Mo's side, someone also told him that the Second Prince asked him to go back immediately because he had important matters to discuss.

When he arrived at the room where Li Junhao usually stayed, Yan Nangui and Deputy General Niu were already waiting there.

"Your Highness, what happened?" Sang Mo didn't understand, and when he saw the expressions of several people, he didn't understand at all.

Li Junhao looked a little relaxed, Yan Nangui was more worried, and Sang Mo could only see excitement on Deputy General Niu's face.

It seemed like something very interesting was about to happen.

Li Junhao said nothing, but pushed the letter in his hand in front of him.

He took out the letter paper from inside. There were only five words written on it. It was almost a blank piece of paper.

"Lotus Pond, pray for peace."

Seeking peace? Seeking peace again.

"Lotus pond? Is this reminding us that there is something fishy about the lotus pond? Which lotus pond?" Sang Mo was even more confused.

Currently, only the four of them knew about Qiu An's affairs, so after receiving Qiu An's letter last time, they studied it carefully and concluded that this person should be from the Bachelor's Mansion.

Then the lotus pond mentioned in his letter this time is most likely the lotus pond in the Bachelor's Mansion.

Yan Nangui replied, "If my guess is correct, he knows what we are doing now, so he reminded us."

"We are now looking for Miss Gu's whereabouts, including our search in the Bachelor's Mansion. He must know everything, so why not remind us that Miss Gu is in the lotus pond..."

When Yan Nangui said this, he was so shocked that he immediately shut his mouth. If Gu Xunwei was in the lotus pond, then it couldn't be as he guessed, that she had been drowned in the pond, right?

Deputy General Niu naturally guessed it and quickly looked at Li Junhao's expression.

The other party still had an indifferent expression, but Sang Mo saw that he began to nervously turn the ring on his hand again.

Deputy General Niu suddenly slapped his head, as if remembering something, and said,

"Just now, Chief Sang went to search the scholar's residence and was found by two secret guards next to the lotus pond.

At that time, I was still wondering why the Bachelor's Mansion would arrange secret guards here. Now it seems that it should be related to what is mentioned in this letter."

After he reminded him, Sang Mo also remembered it, but he had agreed with Deputy General Niu not to tell his master, but this guy actually said it out loud.

Li Junhao also looked at Sang Mo, "What exactly is going on? Tell me in detail."

Sang Mo was immediately furious, but he had to explain the whole story in detail.

After saying that, he did not forget to add, "That Wang Jijiu is actually a little cute in his confusion."

He actually recognized me as his for no reason, giving me a chance to escape, otherwise this matter would definitely become a big deal.

"During the previous searches, including your search this time, did you find anything strange?" Li Junhao asked thoughtfully.

"Ah, this..." Sang Mo was speechless. If he had found anything unusual, he would have told him at that time. He had to think about it carefully again.

"I didn't find anything unusual. The pond was full of water, and there were lotus flowers that were almost starting to wither. There were a lot of rocks scattered around the pond. There was nothing unusual..."

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. When Li Junhao and Yan Nangui heard Sang Mo's words, their eyes lit up. It must be the Qimen Dunjia.

Wang Zhuo found a strange man to help him design a very powerful mechanism, so that his cellar was hidden very well.

"Your Highness, I happen to know a folk master of Qimen Dunjia. Why don't we ask him to observe secretly from a high place outside the palace first?

If there is a problem, it should be discovered quickly.”

Li Junhao nodded, "Hurry up, we only have tonight. If we still can't find him by tomorrow morning, we will have no choice but to take action against Li Junze."

Yan Nangui nodded, turned around and was about to go out. When he reached the door, he saw that Deputy General Niu had not followed him yet, so he had to walk over and step on his foot.

Then Deputy General Niu followed him out the door.
