Chapter 1061 A Secret Passage Discovered in the Study
Seeing Xiao Jingyu nod, Leng Rongyue immediately smiled happily!
"Are you familiar with the layout of this mansion?"
Leng Rongyue grabbed Xiao Jingyu's arm and stared at him with her bright, sparkling eyes.
Xiao Jingyu smiled slightly and nodded, "Understood!"
"Feng Xiao has drawn up diagrams of the terrain and layout of all the major mansions in the capital!"
"Oh, that's great!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Let's act quickly and try to make this secondary governor's residence a 'four-white' (meaning completely untouched)!"
Leng Rongyue clenched her small fist and swung it forcefully.
"Okay, I'll do as Yue'er says!"
Xiao Jingyu agreed without question.
Leng Rongyue clapped her hands silently, then pointed to Jiang Ciche's study, "Let's start by packing up in this study!"
When Jiang Ciche discovered that not only the inner quarters and the treasury had been emptied, but even his study had been ransacked, he felt heartbroken over the loss of his belongings. He also wondered if the people who ransacked his residence had witnessed his meeting with that beastly Crown Prince of Dongwei.
Do you think... Jiang Ciche will be scared half to death?
Leng Rongyue said excitedly in a low voice.
Xiao Jingyu's face was disguised, but the doting look in his eyes was so obvious!
Leng Rongyue looked at him and smiled.
After listening to the sounds around him, Xiao Jingyu picked up Leng Rongyue and leaped back onto the roof. He then gently lifted a tile and looked down...
Jiang Ciche remained half-dead, leaning against the wall, his颓废 posture unchanged.
With a thought, a small medicine bottle appeared in Leng Rongyue's palm.
He opened the small medicine bottle and gently flicked some white powder into the study below.
Soon, Jiang Ciche's head slowly tilted to one side, and he gradually lay down on the ground.
"Okay!"
Leng Rongyue said softly.
Xiao Jingyu nodded, then grabbed Leng Rongyue and jumped off the roof again.
This time, it landed directly outside the study door.
The beastly Crown Prince of Dongwei didn't close the study door when he left, so it's wide open now, which makes it easy for Leng Rongyue and Xiao Jingyu to enter.
They entered the study, closed the door, and began their actions...
Leng Rongyue was in charge of collecting everything—there was no time to sort it right now, so she just collected it first!
Xiao Jingyu was in charge of searching—Leng Rongyue had taken away all the furniture, ornaments, and paintings in the room, making it easier for Xiao Jingyu to search.
Xiao Jingyu was no stranger to this kind of cooperation; the two of them worked together with perfect chemistry!
Leng Rongyue was quick to collect things; with just a thought, she could collect whatever she pointed at. In the blink of an eye, the study was, as she herself had said, completely white!
Xiao Jingyu was still carefully tapping and searching.
He had already discovered a hidden compartment; it wasn't large, and it contained only a box.
The box was opened, revealing a thick stack of silver notes.
Leng Rongyue leaned over, and the two of them roughly looked through the money; there were several hundred thousand taels of silver.
The two exchanged a glance. Sure enough, they had guessed correctly. There were so many silver notes, so... there must be a lot of gold, silver and other treasures as well!
Xiao Jingyu closed the box and handed it to Leng Rongyue. Leng Rongyue took it, and almost simultaneously, the box disappeared from her hand.
What followed was the two of them searching.
However, after searching for a long time, I still couldn't find anything.
Just as the two were about to give up and leave, Leng Rongyue glanced at Jiang Ciche, who had fainted against the wall, and saw a flawless jade pendant hanging from his waist. She walked over and yanked it off.
As she was pulling, Leng Rongyue suddenly noticed that the gap between the floor tiles that Jiang Ciche's robe had just covered... seemed... seemed to be slightly wider than the gaps elsewhere!
Leng Rongyue stopped and pulled Xiao Jingyu down to squat down with her, pointing to the brick seam. "Look, isn't this seam a little wider than the others?"
Xiao Jingyu looked at it carefully, then reached out and grabbed Jiang Ciche by the collar. With a forceful pull, he dragged Jiang Ciche aside like a dead dog.
Looking at the square brick beneath him... sure enough, the gap around this spot was a little wider than elsewhere!
The gap is wide, but how do we remove this brick?
This gap is only slightly wider than the other brick joints, barely wide enough to fit a few pieces of paper, not even a pen can fit through, let alone a finger to pry it open!
The two of them squatted there and watched...
Suddenly, Xiao Jingyu realized that since he couldn't pry the floor tile off, what could he do? He could press it down.
He pulled Leng Rongyue to her feet, "Yue'er, move back a little!"
Leng Rongyue obediently took two steps back.
Xiao Jingyu stretched out his long leg and stomped hard on the brick...
With a "click," Xiao Jingyu quickly pulled his leg back and moved to Leng Rongyue's side.
The floor tile slowly rose up...
As the floor tiles rose, a chill instantly swept up.
There's a secret passage down there!
Leng Rongyue and Xiao Jingyu approached the entrance of the secret passage and looked down...
You can see a staircase leading downwards up close, but it disappears further away.
As for whether there are any hidden traps or mechanisms...
Thinking of this, Leng Rongyue took out a tall table with orchid potted plants that she had just put into her space and threw it down into the secret passage below.
