Chapter 198: Three Cunning Rabbits
Cao Zhengchun has been in control of Dongchang for many years. Although Wei Zhongxian is suppressing him, it is not surprising to have such wealth.
But Zhao Yu also understood that such people usually leave a way out for themselves.
Cao Zhengchun must have an unknown secret room where he stores some top-secret things.
And these things may have a certain connection with Wei Zhongxian to a large extent.
The emperor regarded himself as his dagger to check and balance the officials, and Wei Zhongxian was definitely the number one powerful enemy he had to face.
Zhao Yu searched Cao Zhengchun's foreign residence, of course, not for the gold and jewelry, but to find something that could control the nine-thousand-year-old man!
"Sir, would you like to ask the registration officer from outside the government to come in for inspection?"
Lu Jianxing looked at Zhao Yu frowning, then took a step forward and asked softly.
"Not urgent!"
Zhao Yu shook his head, then walked directly across the atrium and towards the inner hall.
Lu Jianxing and others followed closely behind, while Shen Lian stayed in the front hall and led his people to guard the gold and silver treasures that they had copied out earlier.
Arriving at the inner hall, Zhao Yu stood in the courtyard and stared for a long time, then walked towards Cao Zhengchun's dormitory.
"Get the Treasure Box!"
After entering the inner hall, Zhao Yu glanced left and right, then stepped forward and picked up the book in the middle hall.
He tapped the back of the book with his hand, and there was a dull sound.
Erha took the treasure box, and Zhao Yu took out a gourd with two holes at the bottom.
After placing the bottom of the gourd against the wall, Zhao Yu bent his right hand slightly and lightly clasped his fingers on the gourd.
Dong dong dong...
The walls that were dull before were now filled with empty sounds.
"Smash it open!"
Zhao Yu took the gourd, turned to Jin Yichuan and said.
Jin Yichuan took the hammer from the strongman's hand, jumped up on the table in the main hall, and swung it hard according to where Zhao Yu pointed.
boom!
As Jin Yichuan's hammer fell, a watermelon-sized gap was opened in the wall, and dragon eye-sized pearls poured out.
"No wonder..."
Jin Yichuan did not look at the priceless Dongzhu. Instead, he picked up the broken pieces of wall bricks.
This brick is not much different from other blue bricks. The only difference is that this green brick is mixed with cotton.
And between the white walls and the blue bricks, a lot of cotton is also mixed in the clay used to fit them together.
Therefore, the sound Zhao Yu made when he knocked on the wall was very low. An ordinary person would definitely think that the wall was solid.
…
Next, Zhao Yu discovered a total of seven secret compartments in the inner hall, and even the Tiangang Boy Kung Fu practiced by Cao Zhengchun was found in the secret compartments of the bed.
Seeing that the house raid had come to an end, Zhao Yu always had a strange feeling in his heart when he looked at the clean inner hall.
It seems that there is something important that I have overlooked.
What could it be?
Containing Wei Zhongxian's secret letter?
Zhao Yu shook his head slightly. Although he didn't know what it was, his feeling told him that it had nothing to do with Wei Zhongxian.
Zhao Yu searched the inner hall again. After making sure that nothing was missing, Zhao Yu walked out of the inner hall suspiciously.
"Go to the front hall and tell Shen Lian to take a portion of the dirty silver and distribute it directly to all the powerful men in the supervisory department headquarters!"
Zhao Yu walked out of Cao Zhengchun's dormitory and gave instructions to the flag officer on the side.
"Follow the order!"
The flag officer clasped his fists to accept the order, and then went to stand outside to deliver the order.
If you encounter this kind of thing from other subordinates, you will definitely be grateful.
But these guys at the Supervision Department Headquarters have long been numb to Zhao Yu's lavishness.
"Jin Yichuan, go..."
When Zhao Yugang wanted to ask Jin Yichuan to go to the register to check the dirty silver, his eyes turned to the inconspicuous wing on the side of the inner hall.
With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Zhao Yu suddenly remembered that after returning from Taiyuan Mansion, he went to Chitose Mansion overnight.
At first, Wei Zhongxian met him in a private room.
Zhao Yu was not a fool. As soon as he entered the side room, Zhao Yu immediately realized that the magnificent inner hall was just a cover.
No one would want the aloof Chitose Master to live in a wing of the inner hall instead of the luxuriously decorated inner hall!
Wei Zhongxian was like this, so why wouldn't Cao Zhengchun be like this?
"Guard the inner hall, no one is allowed in!"
Zhao Yu gave instructions to Erha and Jin Yichuan beside him, and then walked into the inconspicuous wing of the inner hall alone.
Pushing open the door of the wing, Zhao Yu's nose twitched slightly, and then a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Ambergris..."
The moment he pushed the side door open, Zhao Yu smelled a faint aroma.
This is the aroma that lingers in the room. Only by burning a spice for a long time can the aroma linger for such a long time.
The main hall that I just searched did not have such a long atmosphere.
Zhao Yu walked into the side hall. This place was somewhat similar to Wei Zhongxian's side hall. Apart from the bed, there was only a tea slip and a few futons.
Zhao Yu came to the bed and reached out to brush the beautifully carved bed railing.
This entire bed is made of agarwood, which is valuable in itself. Logically speaking, such a thing would not appear in the side room.
But what made Zhao Yu frown was that he checked carefully and found no clues.
This is just a valuable bed.
Unwilling to give up, Zhao Yu continued to check the remaining tea slips, but still found nothing.
"Is it my imagination?"
Zhao Yu looked at the poorly decorated wing and frowned slightly.
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Yu walked out of the wing and said to Jin Yichuan: "Ask all the strong men to seal the cracks in the windows and doors of this wing. There won't be any gaps!"
"Follow the order!"
Although Jin Yichuan was a little confused, he still led people to seal all the gaps in the doors and windows of the side room.
Zhao Yu turned around and took out a stick of incense as thick as a thumb from the treasure box and walked into the side room again.
When Zhao Yu walked into the wing, according to his previous instructions, the warriors covered the door with cut-out paper strips dipped in paste, and completely sealed all the gaps.
Zhao Yu took out the fire seal and lit the incense in his hand.
A wisp of fragrance slowly rose along the lit incense head, and Zhao Yu stared at this wisp of fragrance.
Suddenly, when the fragrance rose to a height of about two feet, straight green smoke suddenly swayed and drifted to the right.
Zhao Yuze immediately looked to the left, then held the burning incense and walked slightly towards the left, adjusting the position of the burning incense in his hand as he walked.
Gradually, when Zhao Yu approached the green brick wall on one side of the tea tablet, the green smoke emitted from the burning incense in his hand completely confused his mood.
Zhao Yu put out the incense stick in his hand, looked at the plain wall in front of him, and then reached out and knocked twice.
What came out was still the sound of tamping.
Zhao Yu's right hand moved slightly, and a sharp dagger appeared in his hand.
Chapter completed!
