Chapter 285 Discovering the secret passage
Song Hongyi continued, "At that time, Fang Deyong from the General's Mansion lost contact in the North. According to the time, not long after, this name appeared in Bianyun Pass and became the governor of Bianyun Pass.
How come Shen Lexuan, the governor sent by the emperor, was accused of treason in just a few months?
Finally, Fang Deyong of Bianyun Pass was promoted from acting governor to governor, and this may have been the work of the General's Mansion. "
At this point, Song Hongyi's voice stopped abruptly. He raised his head and glanced at the third prince cautiously, as if waiting for his reaction.
The Third Prince's face had become terrifyingly gloomy at this moment, and his eyes were flashing with dangerous light, as if they wanted to swallow up the endless night.
"To think there is such a thing..." His voice revealed a chill that made the air around him seem to freeze. "So, the third son of the general's mansion is not dead?"
Song Hongyi nodded, "From the current situation, it is very likely."
“Hahaha!” The third prince suddenly raised his head and laughed, but the laughter was full of anger and murderous intent, “Good! Good! Good! Fang Deyong, Fang Deyong, you are really lucky!”
He slammed the table so hard that the whole study seemed to shake. "In that case, let me see if you have the luck to survive!"
The third prince's words made Song Hongyi shudder. He knew that a storm was coming.
"Third Prince, what should we do next?" Song Hongyi asked cautiously.
"What should we do?" The third prince raised a cruel smile, "Send someone to collect evidence..."
When he said this, the Third Prince paused for a moment, "I remember that the Second Prince stayed in Bianyun Pass for about half a year. Could it be that..."
There were some things that the Third Prince didn't need to say, Song Hongyi immediately continued: "I think that if the people in the General's Mansion don't have the help of others in Bianyun Pass, they won't be able to sit on the position of Governor."
"My dear brother, you can actually think of this way to seize Bianyun Pass." The third prince sneered, "This move is really brilliant. You replace the governor of Bianyun Pass with your own man, and he is from the general's mansion whose property has been confiscated. No one will suspect him."
After saying this, the Third Prince shouted outside, "Someone come!"
The person who came in was a trusted guard from the Third Prince's residence. He was tall and straight with a stern face. He bowed and said, "What do you want, Your Highness?"
The third prince raised a meaningful smile, his eyes as sharp as a hawk. He slowly walked to the table, gently stroking the carved patterns on the corner of the table with his fingers, and said in a deep voice: "Go, check the background of the new governor of Bianyun Pass for me. The more detailed the better, especially...his relationship with the second prince."
"Yes, sir!" The guards retreated immediately, their movements clean and neat, without any delay.
The third prince stood in front of the window, with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance at the gradually fading sunset in the sky, a sneer on his lips.
Lin Congyun received news that the mysterious old man came out of the villa outside the capital and bought a batch of grain in the capital and transported it to the villa.
After learning this news, Lin Congyun became more certain that there must be other secret passages in the villa.
Lin Congyun decided to go to the suburban villa in person to find out what was going on.
Under the leadership of Feng Lieyang, Lin Congyun and others came to the outside of the villa.
When the guards standing outside saw Lin Congyun and others, they immediately saluted respectfully.
Lin Congyun waved his hand, signaling them not to make any noise so as not to disturb the people in the villa.
Following Lin Congyun's almost inaudible command, everyone dispersed and moved slowly along the outer wall of the villa.
When they were sure that there was no one in the villa, everyone began to look around the villa for the entrance to the secret passage.
Unfortunately, after searching for a while, everyone found no other intersections except the one they discovered last time.
Just when Lin Congyun was about to give up, a guard came running over.
"Your Highness, I found something wrong behind the villa. Your Highness, please go and take a look."
Upon hearing this, Lin Congyun immediately rushed over with his men.
There is a bamboo forest behind the villa. Passing through the bamboo forest, there is a place that seems out of place with the surroundings.
The surrounding land was moist due to recent rains, and moss even grew in some places. But in that one spot the soil was dry and there was no grass at all.
Lin Congyun stepped forward and found that the soil under his feet made a hollow sound.
"Dig it up."
Under Lin Congyun's command, the guards immediately stepped forward and began digging.
After a while, a dark cave entrance appeared in front of everyone.
Lin Congyun took a torch and walked forward to take a look, and found a long staircase at the entrance of the cave, winding downwards.
It seems that this is the second secret passage of the villa.
Feng Lieyang led the way with two guards, followed closely by Lin Congyun and the other guards.
The secret passage is winding and the air becomes thinner as you go down.
Just when Lin Congyun was about to lose his patience, a ray of light finally appeared in front of him.
Soon, everyone walked out of the secret passage.
The exit of the secret passage is in an abandoned house.
The house was covered with dust and cobwebs and looked abandoned for a long time.
Lin Congyun and his men looked around but found no useful clues.
It seems that this house is just an ordinary abandoned house, not a secret stronghold.
wrong!
If this is just an ordinary abandoned house, why would the mysterious old man set the exit of the secret passage here?
There must be other places here that have not been discovered yet.
Lin Congyun led his men to search carefully again, and this time, he finally found something wrong.
On the wall of a wing room, there was a brick that looked a little different from the other bricks.
Lin Congyun walked forward and knocked on it, and found that the brick was actually hollow.
He pressed the brick hard, and with a "click" sound, the brick was pressed down.
Then, the bookshelf next to it suddenly moved, revealing a dark hole.
There is actually a secret passage.
Lin Congyun took a torch and walked forward to take a look, and found that this secret passage actually led underground.
He led his men down the secret passage. The air became thinner as they walked, and the flames of the torches began to grow weaker.
Just when Lin Congyun thought that this secret passage was also a dead end, a ray of light finally appeared in front.
Lin Congyun quickened his pace and soon walked out of the secret passage.
The exit of the secret passage was actually in a tomb.
The tomb was filled with coffins and the air was filled with a strong smell of decay.
