He searched the drawers and counters all over the floor, pinned the hairpins to his head when he caught them, and stuffed them into his arms while holding the jewelry and jade pendants.

So, the cabinet where the jade bi was placed—empty.

The box containing the glazed skewers—empty.

The two silver silk bowls on the table were replaced by An Ge's chest-padded steamed buns.

After successfully opening the hidden compartment, fingers danced excitedly like waves, "Oh my dear, I finally found you~"

In the secret room, only the ticking sound of the control panel could be heard. Jiang Zhongyuan and the others looked at the control panel with all their eyes, staring at the control panel, and then glanced at Fang Yi's expression quietly.Apart from reporting the facts, I dare not say a word, even if I swallow my saliva, I have to be careful.

"Master Hou, the book case is passive."

"Master Hou, Xiaota is passive."

"The wardrobe on the east side is passive."

Fang Yi didn't lift his eyelids, just drinking tea lightly, like a goshawk hovering over the desert, embracing the self-confidence and laziness that can see everything in his eyes-these little things are useless at all, and they are just decorations .

The mechanism on the control board is still turning continuously, and the rings are locked with each other, making a "click" sound.

Until a certain moment, Jiang Zhongyuan suddenly turned pale with shock, his eyebrows almost flew out of his forehead.With a guilty conscience, he turned around, bowed his head, and reported in a low voice: "Master Hou... the secret cell is passive."

Fang Yi raised his eyelids and asked, "Which secret compartment?"

Jiang Zhongyuan swallowed stiffly, and weakly pointed at the mechanism that was just closed, "The one under the bookcase."

There are two hidden compartments in the room in the main courtyard, the one in the small tavern contains moonlight cups, and the one in the bookcase contains ciphertext.

Sure enough, he came here for the ciphertext?

Fang Yi's eyes froze instantly, and his cheeks could be faintly twitched, "He is really meticulous..."

His tone was so confusing that people couldn't tell whether it was a questioning question or a firm accusation.

Jiang Zhongyuan lowered his head, his chin resting on his neck, and he didn't refute——Fang Yi has always been decisive in killing and attacking, and he has never been soft before, so why hesitated this time?

Everyone didn't know the reason, and they were silent.

In the secret room, the lights flickered, and a row of figures cast on the wall looked like jumping devils.In the air where needles could be heard, the sound of breathing was terrifyingly clear, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter.

Fang Yi stared at the dancing candles, was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Wei Qi."

The leader of the dark guard quickly knelt down, waiting for the order, "Master Hou ordered."

Fang Yi put his right hand behind his back, finally made up his mind, and uttered a word coldly: "Kill."

Jiang Zhongyuan wanted to ask why, but he was stopped by Yun Shujun just as he took a step forward.Looking back in doubt, he only received a warning look of "step back".

Wei Qi got the order, held the knife and nodded, "Yes."

Before leaving, he heard An Ge exclaiming from above:

"—Wori! Who are you, big brother?"

Murderous look flashed in Fang Yi's eyes, and he raised his hand to signal that he should stand still first.

On the ground, the cool moonlight came in through the window, allowing people to vaguely see the outline of the object.

An Ge's legs were trembling, and he looked at someone in night clothes in front of him, and greeted him friendly: "Brother, what a coincidence, you also come... to get something?"

It is "taking" not "stealing", which can be said to be very skillful in speaking.

The man covered his face, frowned thickly, looked An Ge up and down, and the alarm sounded in his heart, "Are you a secret guard?"

"No, of course not!" An Ge was confronted by the shining knife point, and denied it very sincerely, "I came to the Hou's mansion to steal things... the night clothes are too conspicuous, I, I stole the dark clothes." Wei's clothes. We are colleagues, no conflict, no conflict..."

"Hmph, whoever you are, just kill me!" The man had a special mission and could not reveal any whereabouts.So he raised his hand holding the sharp weapon, and with a killing intent, he stabbed An Ge's chest with the dagger.

"Wait a minute!" An Ge shouted sideways.

The dagger stopped in the air, and Wei Qi, who had been waiting for an opportunity in the dark, also temporarily stopped.

The man stared at An Ge disdainfully, "What else do you have to say?"

An Ge rolled his eyes, "This is the key point of the Hou Mansion. If you kill me, you will definitely be discovered!"

The man waved the dagger back and forth in front of his eyes, "So what? At least I have you on my back."

An Ge's cold hair stood on end by the opponent's murderous intent, "Wait, wait, wait!"

The man stopped and said displeasedly, "So what!"

An Ge planned to be shameless to the end, "Actually, I, I am Mrs. Hou, if you take me as a hostage and threaten Fang Yi, he will definitely let you go! I promise!"

The man had the expression of you riding a horse to tease me, "Aren't you a man?"

"of course not!"

An Ge straightened out his chest, highlighting the outlines of the two bottomless bowls, "See? My breasts are big. To tell you the truth, Fang Yi likes me, who is gentle and good at work. He can't do without me. So you use me to negotiate terms with him, and he has absolutely nothing to say!"

The man didn't take it seriously, twirled the dagger on his wrist, and said mockingly: "He went to the south to control the water, so he can't save you."

"Then you've made a mistake."

An Ge's ability to fabricate things is first-rate, and he speaks clearly, "Actually, he came back yesterday and slept at my place all night. He didn't tell anyone outside. Of course you don't know!"

The man sneered, "Even if he came back, he hasn't found me yet. So, it's meaningless for you to be a hostage. Besides, as long as he kills you fast enough, he can still escape."

He put the knife flat and sharpened it back and forth on An Ge's face, "Don't worry, the knife is fast and doesn't hurt. I will definitely not know when the time comes."

An Ge shrank back, but was dragged back immediately, his legs were as soft as noodles, "Well, brother, let's discuss it, you can take whatever you want, I promise not to shout. Also, I took it I'll give you everything, and I won't keep anything!"

The man patted the secret document in his arms, and said confidently, "I'm sorry, I've got it."

Without any further hesitation, he exerted strength with his wrist and stabbed directly at An Ge's heart.

Deng!

The dagger was missed by the dart, cutting off strands of hair.

"Who!" The man stared at the direction where the dart came from, becoming angry from embarrassment.
