When Sword Three Players Dressed as Chen Shimei

"My lord, this is the badge."

Yang Xian let go of the hand that clamped Zhao Li's jaw, but he still couldn't prevent his death in the end.He was a little depressed, he thought he could find some clues, but now there is only one corpse left.Yang Xian desperately hoped to find other clues from Zhao Li, and finally found the badge in his arms.

Tang Wuxia took the waist card, and it was the same as the ones he got before.Tang Wuxia glanced at the dead man again, always feeling something weird, but it seemed normal.Tang Wuxia, who really couldn't tell what was wrong, finally turned around and searched in the room.

They are now staying in a study room, and there are some paintings hanging on the walls around the study room.Although Tang Wuxia didn't understand these things himself, Chen Shimei, who was born as the No. [-] scholar, did. Tang Wuxia, who had fully accepted Chen Shimei's memories, could naturally recognize these calligraphy and paintings.

On the walls of Zhao Li's study room were calligraphy and paintings of famous people, some of which were even rumored to have disappeared.But these are actually fakes, used by Zhao Li to support the appearance.Among them were a few calligraphy and paintings, even if Chen Shimei had no memory, Tang Wuxia knew they were fake, because the authentic works of those paintings were in the study of his princess.

Tang Wuxia flipped through one calligraphy and painting after another. Of course, what he looked at was not the fake calligraphy and painting, but the wall behind the calligraphy and painting.According to Tang Wuxia's understanding, some people like to hide important things on the wall, and then cover them with calligraphy and painting.There are calligraphy and paintings all over the wall in this study room, it is hard to guarantee that there are clues hidden behind any calligraphy and painting.

Tang Wuxia's hand tapped the wall lightly. The knocking sound on the wall behind each calligraphy and painting was normal, and there was nothing hidden.It seems that Zhao Li doesn't like to hide things in the wall.

Put down the last painting, still nothing.Tang Wuxia turned around and looked at the two thugs and Yang Xian.But he realized that Yang Xian had been staring at his hand all the time. Tang Wuxia raised his hand subconsciously, wanting to see what was wrong, only to find that his fingers had been stained black.

During this period of time, the weather has been very dry, and the ink on the calligraphy and painting cannot be wet.So there is only one possibility that I will get ink on my hands. Among these paintings, some of them have just been painted, and they haven't even had time to dry.

Tang Wuxia's hand touched one of the paintings again.I didn't have any obvious feeling before, but after checking deliberately now, I found that this painting is much thicker than ordinary paintings.Not only this one, but also other paintings in Zhao Li's study.If you deliberately use fakes as a facade, you will not choose such paintings and calligraphy that can be seen through just by looking at the thickness.

I'm afraid there is something hidden in such a thick painting.Tang Wuxia touched the corners of the painting, and then touched a little bit in the middle.It is found that the thickness of the painting is thinner in the corners than in other places.

Because he didn't know what was hidden in the painting, Tang Wuxia didn't dare to dismantle the painting, and then took out the contents.In case of damage, he could not repair it even if he sold it, so Tang Wuxia decided to take all the calligraphy and paintings back and let Mr. Gongsun handle them.

Gongsun Fox of Kaifeng Mansion claims to be omnipotent except for childbirth and martial arts.So in the face of these calligraphy and paintings, the almighty Mr. Gongsun must have a way to take out the contents intact.

"Young Master Yang, does Zhao Li still have a secret room?"

"Yes, I have followed Zhao Li. He has disappeared in front of the underground casino many times. That is the entrance to his secret room, but I don't know how to get in."

After going down the stairs, there is only one road, and that road leads directly to the casino.At this moment, Tang Wuxia and Yang Xian were standing at the entrance of the casino, they knocked against the wall, but found nothing.According to Yang Xian, this place should be the entrance of the secret room, but they haven't found the mechanism after searching for so long. Could it be that the mechanism to open the secret room is not on the wall.

"Do you two know how to open this secret room?"

"The villain doesn't know, the boss never let us watch him open the secret room."

Tang Wuxia looked around for a while, and then decisively knocked on the ground.The place doesn't have any decorations except the walls and the floor.The mechanism to open the secret room is not on the wall, so the only possibility is on the ground.

Not to mention, Tang Wuxia really found something wrong with the floor tile in the corner.The first time Tang Wuxia stepped on it, he realized that the brick was alive.The brick was lifted by Tang Wuxia, and a pull ring appeared in front of Tang Wuxia's eyes, which should be the mechanism to open the secret room.

Tang Wuxia bent down to hold the ring in his hand, and then pulled the ring up forcefully.An iron chain was connected to the pull ring, and the iron chain became longer and longer under Tang Wuxia's pulling.There was the sound of gears turning, and a hole appeared in the wall to their right.

Tang Wuxia dropped the pull ring in his hand and entered the secret room first. There were several large boxes in the secret room, all of which were filled with gold, silver and jewelry.At this time Tang Wuxia heard footsteps approaching slowly, and it was one of the yamen servants who came.

"Master Shaoyin, a steward said that he has something to tell you."

"The one who wants to give up lightly comes here."

It was Zhao Li's housekeeper who told Tang Wuxia something, and also Zhao Li's confidant. Of course, this is what Zhao Li thought.He knew quite a lot about Zhao Li, and now he just used these things to give himself a chance to be punished lightly.

"I heard that you have something to tell this son-in-law?"

"The villain's name is Liu Fei, and he's Zhao Li's housekeeper."

"Tell me what you want to tell this son-in-law. If it is true, this son-in-law will consider reducing your punishment."

"Thank you son-in-law, it's just..."

The man looked at the other people in the room with some embarrassment, as if he wanted to have a private talk with Tang Wuxia.

"Young Master Yang, please continue to check over the secret room, see if there are any clues."

"Caomin is going here."

"Go out and guard the door, don't let others approach."

"Yes, Lord Shaoyin."

Tang Wuxia watched Yang Xian go out, and then gave instructions to the yamen servant in the room.Since the butler is only willing to tell himself one person, it seems that the secret is not small, otherwise there is no need for him to drive everyone out.

"There are only two of us left here, tell me what you have to do."

"My lord, I know where Zhao Li's account book is hidden."

"My son-in-law discovered in Zhao Li's study that there was something hidden in the calligraphy and painting in his study, and that must be the account book."

"It's there."

Originally, Tang Wuxia didn't know what was in the painting, but when Liu Fei mentioned the account book, he had an idea. It might be the account book on the first floor.

"Liu Fei, my son-in-law asks you, do you know who Zhao Li works for?"

"This villain doesn't know, Zhao Li has never mentioned this matter in front of the villain."

"What does the fire in the Yang family have to do with you eight years ago?"

Since Zhao Li had a token, what role did he play in that fire, was he an executor or a supporter?

"My lord, that was not our doing."

"you sure?"

"The villain is sure. At that time, Zhao Li asked the villain to hire some people, and planned to take advantage of the darkness to pretend to be ghosts and scare them, so that they would sell the land to us."

"Pretending to be a ghost?"

Tang Wuxia felt that this was not something that organization would do.It is in line with their style to kill people directly, or burn people and houses together.

"Yes, but before the villain finds a good person, the two families were burned down by the fire."

"Zhao Li didn't know that those two families would be set on fire?"

"I don't know. At that time, Zhao Li told me that Tiandu was helping him."

"My son-in-law knows. By the way, have you seen this token on Zhao Li?"

As Tang Wuxia spoke, he took out the token. Liu Fei took the token and looked through it carefully, making sure that this token had never appeared in his memory.

"The villain has never seen this token."

Tang Wuxia left a group of yamen servants and Yang Xian to continue searching on the first floor, while he himself took Liu Fei to the county yamen.Everything in the county government has also been dusted. With the help of Kaifeng government officials and Zhan Zhao, those who were bribed were quickly arrested.

"My son-in-law."

"Guard Zhan, where's Master Bo and Wang Butou?"

"Already in prison."

"Bring them here, I have something to ask them."

Master Bo and Wang Butou were quickly brought over. When they saw Tang Wuxia, they knew that they had underestimated the son-in-law.

"My son-in-law asks you, who destroyed the files of the Yang family eight years ago?"

"My son-in-law, I was only transferred to be the chief bookkeeper six years ago. I don't know what happened eight years ago."

"What about you, Catcher Wang?"

"If the villain speaks out, I hope the son-in-law can spare the villain's life."

"My son-in-law promises you."

"Actually, the villain doesn't know who they are. He only knows that the county magistrate at that time treated them very respectfully."

"Very respectful? Could it be someone from the imperial court?"

"The villain is just the one who heard the adults call the leader, Mr. Zhang."

"Boss Zhang? The king's son-in-law asked you, does that man's voice sound sharper than that of ordinary men?"

"Yes."

"My son-in-law, could it be that that person is..."

"My son-in-law thinks so too. Does Guard Zhan still remember the charred corpse you brought back?"

"Is he that Manager Zhang?"

"Most likely."

At first, Tang Wuxia thought that the reason why the man set himself on fire was because he was afraid that his face would be recognized, which would harm his master.But now it seems that it's not just for disfigurement, but also to cover up his own identity.

"Guard Zhan, take a few yamen servants and bring Wang Butou and Liu Fei back to Kaifeng Mansion first. I will handle the matter here."

"Yes, Prince Consort."

"Then Yang Xian..."

"Let's keep it secret for now, Guard Zhan. When you go back, be careful, don't let Xin'er find out."
