Su Tan tried to think of many ways for Zhou Yanchuan to investigate him, spy on him, and collect evidence to bring him down.

It was all within the controllable range, and he also followed the prince's wishes, setting up traps and waiting for Zhou Yanchuan to throw himself into the trap.

Tonight's banquet is a pretense to test each other.

Su Tan thought that Zhou Yanchuan would not jump into it if he had some brains, but who knew that the other party not only jumped, but also danced vigorously.

The entire Su Mansion is in a mess, and people are turned on their backs.

Su Tan didn't care about being rude in front of Zhou Yanchuan, so he confessed in a few words and asked Su Mianmian to entertain Zhou Yanchuan for him, and rushed to the study with the guards.

The moment he entered the study, Su Tan knew someone had come in.

The person is probably still inside the secret door and has not left.

Su Tan hadn't touched a sword for many years, so he had to take down the long sword hanging on the wall tonight, and climbed over the wall to get close to the secret door.

The sword reflected the clusters of dancing warm yellow candles in the study, giving rise to boundless killing intent for no reason.

Seeing this, the guard following Su Tan took out his long sword without saying a word, and followed him into the secret door.

The secret door opened slowly, and Su Tan was ready for a fatal blow, but the scene in front of him stunned him in place.

It was empty inside, and at a glance, it was as clean as washing.

nobody.

The tip of his nose moved slightly, and he didn't even smell something wrong.

This is not right.

Su Tan looked around calmly. Before he came in, he could say with certainty that no one had left, so why was there no one here?

This secret passage is of great importance, and ordinary people cannot easily enter it.

It was impossible for Su Tan to let the guards go in to search with great fanfare, so he was suspicious, so he could only go in and see by himself.

"You are waiting here."

The guards took orders in a low voice, and saw Su Tan walking into the dark passage step by step with his sword in hand.

Su Tan walked carefully every step of the way, observing everywhere, and found nothing suspicious.

Halfway through the secret passage, he stopped, looked towards the end emitting a faint green light, and turned back and forth in silence for a while.

If someone really came in and didn't leave, but went further inside, no one would come out, and there was no need for him to stay here.

Su Tan pressed the switch, watched the secret door slowly close in front of his eyes, and then took a deep look into the secret passage, no one could be blamed if he died inside.

At a critical moment, Li Sizhi leaned sideways against the wall and flew towards the end of the tunnel, where a green light suddenly appeared, full of eerieness.

He didn't care to think about what was going on here, he wanted to avoid Su Tan first.

When the sound of the secret door opening and closing came, his tense body relaxed a little.

But this slack didn't last a breath, and a frivolous and dangerous breath came from the base of the ear.

Li Sizhi couldn't let go of his heart, he didn't feel anyone, and he didn't notice anyone approaching.

What was that thing blowing into his ear?

Li Sizhi thought of a lot of monsters and ghosts at this moment, and immediately settled down, at most they were very ferocious beasts.

He pretended to be calm and tilted his head slightly, and finally used the corner of his eye to catch a little of the scene behind him.

Rao thought he was well-informed, but Li Sizhi couldn't help being surprised when he saw that thing.

So in such a long time ago, there was such a huge alien species?

After he really knew what it was, he was able to let go.

Turning around, he saw clearly what was hidden behind the green light, and he took two steps forward, the green light brushed away, revealing a brilliant golden light.

The gold bar, on both sides, no, it should be said that there is gold everywhere, and wherever the eyes go, it is filled with golden light.

Looking further inside, it is a light that is brighter than gold.

The word bling is extremely appropriate at this moment.

Li Sizhi didn't expect that he would see it with his own eyes. What was more dazzling than those things was the two-meter-tall giant python looking down on him.

He had to raise his head to see clearly the golden vertical pupil of the giant python, which was indistinguishable from emotion.

The scales of the python's whole body exude a light blue color, and when mixed with the gold, it becomes the green light that Li Sizhi saw just now.

It turns out that at the end of this secret passage is the Treasure Pavilion, which hides the people's fat and people's ointment that Su Tan has looted over the years. The reason why no one can take it away is because this giant python is guarding it.

Could it be that the things he wanted were also in there?

With this big thing, no one can take away the evidence of Su Tan's relationship with the prince, it is extremely safe.

He looked up at the giant python again, watching quietly without moving.

Intuition told him that this python would not attack him, otherwise it would have been eaten when it first came in.

In order to verify his conjecture, he took a step forward, and the giant python lowered its head slowly, as if looking closely at him, without any intention of attacking.

Li Sizhi raised his eyebrows. Although he didn't know what was going on, it was a good thing for him.

He took a few more steps forward, and the giant python just lowered its head and moved with him, docile and well-behaved.

Walking to the innermost part, he saw a huge cabinet with a lock on it.

This thing couldn't help Li Sizhi at all, he took out a long and thin iron wire, and pried the lock open two or three times.

The clear and crisp sound of unlocking caused the python to lower its head quickly, and soon it came to Li Sizhi's hand, its big eyes were full of resistance, and it leaned closer to try to push him away with its head.

The locks are all open, and the things in the cabinet must be seen.

Li Sizhi patted the python's head conveniently: "Let me see."

This action did not know how to please the giant python, and stretched out the snake letter to lick him.

The snake letter is full of sharp barbs, if he touches it, it will definitely be dripping with blood.

Li Sizhi quickly touched the python's head again to stop its small movements, and then opened the cabinet door lightly.

The inside is divided into ten layers, each layer has five boxes, and the year and month are pasted on the front of the boxes.

From decades ago to the present, they are clearly marked, as if they are afraid that people will not be able to see clearly.

Li Sizhi opened the gold-painted rich flower box in front of him, and inside was a stack of papers.

He took it out and looked at the content with the light reflected by the python and the gold.

The land deed, the letter with the prince, and the letter with others according to the prince's order.

Given the relationship between Su Tan and the crown prince, these things should be burned after seeing them. How could they still exist?

The only possibility that Li Sizhi could think of was that Su Tan was afraid that after the Dongchuang incident, the prince would put all his actions on himself, and leave these as evidence so that he could escape in the future.

From this point of view, Su Tan is not really loyal, and his relationship with the prince is not indestructible.

Even so, Su Tan's corruption is a sure fact.

Li Sizhi took the latest letter, read it at a glance, and couldn't help but marvel, Zhou Yanchuan is not slippery, and the prince is still cunning.

It is a miracle that the two people with the same ulterior motives get together and the court is not chaotic.

After taking some evidence that could be traced to make Su Tan unable to turn over, Li Sizhi put other things back, and then began to think about how to get out from here.

It is impossible for him to leave the study through the secret passage again, maybe Su Tan will lead someone to guard there.

There are so many treasures hidden at the end of this secret passage, it is impossible not to leave a way out.

With Su Tan's temperament, the basic operation is to stay behind, but he doesn't know where the back way is.

Li Sizhi was touched by the giant python again, and when he turned his head to look, he saw the giant python's head close to his hand, as if waiting for him to touch it.

Li Sizhi touched and touched, the scales under his hands were cold and unwarmed, he felt and found a mark, his fingertips paused slightly.

Ok?

a totem.

There are words under the totem.

After a long time of effort, Li Sizhi figured out what those words were.

The guardian beast of the imperial tombs of the Nine Dynasties of the Dragon Dynasty.

It turned out to be something from the imperial mausoleum of the former dynasty. How did the things there get to Jiangbei?

He is obviously the former owner, why did he meet him with a sharp drop in viciousness and become as docile as a domestic pet.

This series of questions floated in Li Sizhi's mind for a long time, and there was a vague point, and he had doubts about Zhuo Xuan's identity again.

Unfortunately, the system refused to answer, and he couldn't verify it. He probably had to wait until the end to know who Zhuo Xuan really was.

Sometimes, this kind of advantage brought by blood is really surprising.

He stroked the python's small head: "If possible, I would like to take you out and release you back to nature. This is not a place for you to stay all year round."

The python looked at him without saying a word.

Li Sizhi and it looked at each other for a moment, and a thought popped up in his heart, which couldn't be erased, let alone suppressed.

Just do it.

Didn't Zhou Yanchuan tell him that as long as he finds evidence of Su Tan's corruption, he can retreat any way he wants, as long as he can retreat completely.

At this time, he smiled slightly, and his movements became more gentle: "I have a fun game that needs your cooperation, will you come?"

The giant python looked at him and tilted its head innocently.

In the front hall, Zhou Yanchuan, who was still on the banquet, looked back at Qing Yun.

Qingyun immediately stepped forward.

Zhou Yanchuan whispered in a low voice, after a while Qing Yun straightened up and walked out.

Seeing this, Su Mianmian also guessed that something unusual happened in the backyard. To the real Fifth Highness, she also looked like a real lady, gentle and virtuous, a well-behaved girl who obeyed her parents' will girl.

Zhou Yanchuan's understanding of her is all superficial, and Li Sizhi handles the real correspondence.

But acting on every occasion is a compulsory course for people in the royal family.

Zhou Yanchuan could easily coax Su Mianmian into a happy smile, so what Su Tan, who had been going back and forth, came back to see the scene of the two talking happily.

Very harmonious and well matched.

Su Tan didn't want to interrupt the conversation between the two of them, and he couldn't stand outside. The fact that outsiders broke into the study room was always on his mind, as if reminding him that accidents might happen all the time.

When it is not stable enough, Su Tan cannot sit still.

After a while, Su Tan's heart skipped a beat, he turned around and walked towards the study.

Although there is a man-eating python hidden at the end of the secret passage, Su Tan is still worried. That giant python has eaten many people who came to make trouble.

Normally, even when he went in, he would feed the snake before entering.

Sometimes, people's uneasiness really reflects too many things.

Su Tan can't let something happen to that place, it's his last retreat, there must be no problems.

Zhou Yanchuan turned his head to look at the place where Su Tan was standing just now. The matter in the study room has not been resolved yet?

It was rare for him to feel worried about Li Sizhi, who was sent to investigate, and there was nothing wrong with him.

At this time, Qing Yun who had left also came back, and said in a low voice: "The person hasn't come out yet, there is no movement in the study, and the brothers who are waiting outside have not seen anyone."

Zhou Yanchuan's heart sank. He heard that there was a big secret hidden in Su Tan's study, and many people who came to investigate never returned.

Zhou Yanchuan never let anyone in, and he didn't know whether the rumors were true or not.

At this time, there was no news of Li Sizhi, and he suddenly realized that the rumor was true.

What's in Su Tan's study?

What did Li Sizhi meet inside, and can he come out alive?

Qingyun said again: "He went in, but he really didn't come out."

Zhou Yanchuan was silent, did he die inside?
