149 Investigation

The little woman behind him was still looking at the scenery below the Great Wall in a daze, and actually didn't follow him.

Feng Chenye snorted coldly before regaining her consciousness.

Jiuyin was really awakened by this hum and raised her eyebrows to look at him.

Although Feng Chenye still ignored her like last night, he deliberately loosened his long arm to his side to give her enough space to hold him, but Jiuyin did not hold his arm for a long time.

Feng Chen felt a little bored at night. She didn't coax him last night and slept peacefully. She let him be angry all night. Even if she was so angry that she couldn't sleep, she didn't behave well today. That woman really didn't take him seriously.

Got it!

Seeing that she didn't come to help him, he frowned and turned around to glare at her, but when he didn't want to turn around, he saw her squatting aside, looking at the stone fence in front of him and not knowing what she was doing.

"What are you doing squatting there?"

Feng Chenye paused in his steps, and all the people on the Eighteen Riders also stopped.

Hearing this, Jiuyin raised his head and glanced at him, and said anxiously: "My lord, come here and have a look. Is there any problem here?"

Jiuyin pointed to the handrail in front and motioned for Feng Chenye to come over.

Feng Chenye originally didn't want to pay attention to her. He didn't like being like a fool and letting her come and go at will. He was still waiting for her apology and waiting for her to put him in a better mood.

However, seeing her face acting so seriously and her expression also showing a hint of solemnity, he walked over unconsciously, squatted down beside her, looked at the guardrail in front of her pole, and asked quietly: "Is there any

What's the problem?"

"Your Majesty, I knocked on it just now and I think there's something wrong with this guardrail."

"inappropriate?"

Jiuyin nodded, took out the dagger and struck a few times on the horizontal guardrail, the sound was a little crisp.

At first glance, there seemed to be nothing wrong with the sound, but Feng Chen was stunned to hear it.

He suddenly raised his hand and struck down, and with a "boom", the sound was not too loud, but it just knocked down the guardrail.

Everyone came closer, and their faces were suddenly shocked by the situation in front of them, and their expressions became serious.

The horizontal guardrail is actually empty!

From the outside, there seems to be no difference in materials, and since this is the second guardrail, the horizontal guardrail does not need to bear much weight. Even if it is hollow, it will last for several years without any problem.

But after a few years, as the materials age, problems will gradually appear.

However, the people who designed this time were very smart. Of the two horizontal guardrails, there was nothing wrong with the first one, and most of the people they came to check would only check the top one. If there was no problem with the top guardrail, they would naturally not suspect the second one.

There is a problem with the second guardrail.

I'm not an expert, and I don't have any direct detection tools, so I naturally won't check too carefully.

Unexpectedly, they almost took advantage of it.

"How did you notice it?" Feng Chenye looked at Jiuyin with a hint of surprise.

Unexpectedly, this little woman discovered something that even he didn't notice.

"Actually, I didn't expect anything." She blinked and said with a smile: "I just thought that since the Eighth Prince can also collect evidence and the same immediate boss here, it is naturally impossible for him to take advantage of it. The Great Wall must also have

question."

"Based on this belief, you have observed every place?"

Jiuyin nodded: "I didn't expect to meet you by chance. It seems like you are lucky."

Feng Chenye stood up, looked down at the first guardrail, and raised his hand to chop it down. Sure enough, there was no problem with the first guardrail, but the problem was all with the second guardrail.

However, this is only the obvious areas. In those areas that are not obvious, it may not be possible that all guardrails have problems.

"Go to the place ahead by the sea and have a look." He ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The Eighteen Riders accepted the order and headed forward to explore the way ahead.

Feng Chenye still held up his right arm and glanced at Jiuyin: "Are you leaving?"

"Of course."

Jiuyin took back the dagger and hung it back on her waist. Then she walked up to him and took his long arm, and happily walked forward with him.

Ruhua and Qingtong followed behind them all the way.

The closer they got to the beach, the more they could feel the scent of the people who were following them. Even people with weak internal skills like Jiuyin began to feel something.

She gently tugged on Feng Chenye's sleeves, and when he leaned closer to her, she said softly: "We have now discovered the secret of the Great Wall. The prince's people must have known it. Will he send someone to do it next?"

Are people hunting you?"

The so-called killing and silence is particularly important at this time.

If all of them are killed, this secret can be preserved.

Feng Chenye stood up straight, withdrew his big palm from her two small hands and landed on her waist: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Jiuyin moved her lips, and finally swallowed the words that came to her mouth back into her stomach. She was not actually afraid that she would be hurt, but was just a little worried about him.

Regardless of whether the killer he met last time was from the prince, he was indeed targeting him. This time he found evidence of the prince's crime. The prince might find a way to get rid of him, or find someone to talk back to him. Anyway,

The prince will never sit idly by and do nothing.

However, would it be too smooth to find out the secret of the Great Wall so quickly?

"What are you thinking about?" Sensing that she was absent-minded, Feng Chenye gently rubbed her waist with his big palm and lowered his eyes to look at her: "Do you have any doubts?"

Jiuyin nodded, then shook his head: "I don't know what I was thinking. I just felt that things were going too smoothly, and it seemed too childish."

"Then what do you think will stop it from being a joke?"

Jiuyin looked up at him, speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Maybe it's just a coincidence. After all, part of the Great Wall has been built and it's just there.

As long as the evidence is there, you can't run away. After all, this project is too big. Even if you know that the superiors have sent Prince Yi down to investigate, it is impossible to destroy all the remaining evidence in just a few days.

Unless the newly repaired Great Wall is demolished and rebuilt, this is too unrealistic.

Now that the matter has been exposed, the prince must do something, otherwise, the position of prince that he finally ascended to will most likely not be retained.

Although she knew very well that it would never be so easy to overthrow the prince, and she did not care about these political battles. She was just afraid that Feng Chenye would be in danger in such a battle.

Feeling a little uneasy, she placed her little hand on his big palm and squeezed it gently. She said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, do you want to bring Qing Yi and the others back?"

"What? You still feel uneasy with me around you?"

"I'm afraid they will hurt you." She is just a little slave girl, who would be willing to waste time on her?

Feng Chenye's eyes flashed, he held her little hand back, put his arms around her waist together with her, and said with a smile: "I am not as fragile as you think, don't be afraid, go to the front and have a look."

After walking a little further forward, it turned out that all the second guardrails had problems. Not only that, but moving a little closer to the sea, even the first guardrail was like the second guardrail, hollow inside.

This place is very close to the sea, and there are jungle thorns below. It is difficult for ordinary people to get up from here, cross the Great Wall and break into Fengqi territory. Therefore, the Great Wall is of little use here. Even if corners are cut, it is usually too unlikely to be discovered.

However, if the enemy knows that there is a problem with the guardrail here and finds a way to break in from here, Fengqi will still face a major crisis.

All in all, this kind of shoddy work should not have occurred in the repair of the Great Wall. After all, this is a matter that affects the political security of the entire country and cannot be sloppy.

"Who is in charge of the repair work this time?" Jiuyin asked.

"Liu Wencheng, the son of Lord Supervisor."

Jiuyin didn't know this person named Liu Wencheng, but Lord Supervisor... just these four words were enough to shock her.

Supervisor, that is such an important position. He colluded with the prince, let his son be responsible for this project and then benefited from it. However, if Feng Chenye continues to investigate, he will definitely offend the prince. Now even the supervisor

Everyone is going to blame me, but I'm afraid if I follow this line, I don't know how many mistakes and complicated relationships will be uncovered.

He is just a military attache. Although he holds great power, his connections in the court are definitely not as good as those of the prince's party. Is there any problem if he is so alone and helpless?

"Worried about me?" Feng Chenye found that he could understand more and more what this little woman was thinking. Just by looking at the twinkling light in her smart eyes, he could guess a little bit of her thoughts.

.

Knowing that she was worried about him, she suddenly felt happy: "This time, the king and the prince will not have a direct conflict, don't worry, but..."

"But what?" Hearing his change of topic, Jiuyin suddenly became nervous again, "Are you worried that the prince will find a scapegoat to push him out, and you will become the culprit of that person's death?"

"The person who killed him was definitely the prince and had nothing to do with me."

"Then...who could that person be? Couldn't it be Liu Wencheng?"

Although Jiuyin knew very well that sensible people knew that the person who killed him was the prince, he would never have died if Prince Yi had not revealed the matter. In this way, Prince Yi directly became the murderer.

How can it be impossible for Lord Supervisor to keep hatred in his heart?

I'm afraid there is no real hatred in the court. When the cooperation between the governor and the prince is still beneficial and he is unable to turn against the prince, Prince Yi is his only outlet.

"Is this definitely going to be like this?" She was worried.

Feng Chenye rubbed her green hair with his palm and hugged her back the way she came from: "Is that so? Just look at the prince."

"But," Jiuyin looked around. Although she knew that even if there were experts lurking around, she would not be able to feel it, she still cautiously looked around twice.

Seeing her hesitation, Feng Chenye curled his thin lips: "If you want to say anything, just say it. They don't dare to get too close to me, so if they want to whisper something, it's okay."

Jiuyin's forehead was darkened and he couldn't help but glance at him.

She was worried, but he even thought of whispering.
