Chapter 74 The Shadow in the Chamber of Secrets

"Oh, it seems that he is still a little angry, so he looks a little young." Wu Youning sniffed a mouthful of sour sips of sour slurry. Although it was a little sour, it still showed a very enjoyable look.

"Compared with my uncle, you can't be called greedy for money." Li Chongrun said in his heart. Seeing that you are like this, I'm afraid you are not only greedy for money, but also stingy, which is much more than the young master.

"You make money to make money. I make money to see people. We are different." Wu Youning shook his head, and his face looked like the world was drunk and I was awake. "Although Your Majesty has his own arrangements, I don't want to recognize it."

"A coincidence, I don't want to recognize it either."

Li Chongrun originally thought that his father-in-law was here to give a warning to his new son-in-law today, but he didn't expect that he wanted to go with this cheap uncle, and his face was a little excited.

Wu Youning looked at Li Chongrun unexpectedly, but she didn't expect that the soft pillow he had always thought had his own ideas. "Since that's the case, I have some arrangements, and I hope Brother Run will cooperate."

"You have some arrangements, and I hope my uncle will cooperate." Li Chongrun smiled at Wu Youning with a very sincere expression.

After a tasteless meal, Li Chongrun and Di Renjie were about to walk to the courtyard that had become an archaeological site.

Before leaving, Wu Youning was eating the last piece of fish sashimi. Instead of cleaning his hands with soup like other people, he wiped it on the tablecloth and was done.

"Boy, you have your arrangements, I don't care. I just don't attack my two girls, otherwise, no matter what prince or Fengyiwei you are, you will definitely make you die ugly."

"The boy also advises you, uncle, you have an arrangement to follow the boy. If the boy listens to some rumors on the street that are not good to our aunt, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle the job. Say goodbye!"

"Not giving!"

The two men with guns and sticks left in anger. However, seeing Li Chongrun walking far away, King Jianchang showed a playful smile, "I still have a little temper. If I play well, it would be very interesting to have such a son-in-law."

Regardless of the still noisy singing and dancing outside, Wu Youning waved, and a servant brought a recliner over. He fell asleep in the crowded environment, and a few snoring sounds came.

"The King Jianchang is quite connected in the Shendu. If he wants to break this marriage, he is afraid that you will be thrown a lot of dirty water."

After going downstairs, Di Renjie said to Li Chongrun with a smile, but he didn't seem to be too worried when he looked at his expression.

"A bad marriage is not a fight for power and profit. At most, it means saying bad things about a boy and making a bad reputation. The most common thing is to say that a boy has lost his virtues." As a former flop writer, he had long told such stories badly about the novels of the Ming Dynasty. Li Chongrun was so cruel.

"What the boy is most worried about is that he can throw dirty water from me, so don't implicate his family. Fortunately, this King Jianchang also has this idea. Then everyone is in a gentleman's battle, no matter who wins or loses, I think this marriage will not be successful."

Di Renjie shook his head, feeling that these two people were too childish, "What Your Majesty wants to do actually has nothing to do with your ideas."

"What my uncle said is reasonable. However, this is really unreasonable for Your Majesty to make a spouse."

While talking, Lao Chen's courtyard had arrived.

Many secret passages have been dug out, and the pieces of soil and gravel that have been burned by the fire have also been cleared out, and several mechanisms such as crossbows and flying stones have been set up.

I think the people who came to build this secret passage attach great importance to the secret passage connection place and used multiple mechanisms to protect it. But I didn't expect that the crackers would use this large-covered and rough benzene method. The exquisite arrangement became the blind man's eyes and decorations.

At the end of the secret passage is a stone door. Judging from the decorations and patterns on it, they have a strong Wei and Jin style. It should be that this place was originally an ancient tomb, but it was changed into a secret room by Lao Chen.

The stone door was burned a little by the fire, and fell miserably to the side. The secret room was almost burned by the fire, leaving only some wreckage bottles and cans, because the storage table was burned by the fire and was scattered all over the floor.

Because a corner of the secret room had been dug open, fresh air had entered, but people could have entered. When Li Chongrun and Di Renjie arrived, Cui Chenggui was counting the things inside with a few yamen runners of Dali Temple, and a clerk was holding a book to record.

Unlike Li Chongrun’s concern, no remains of Lao Chen’s family were found in the secret room.

Countless bottles and jars were moved out and piled in the sun, but the sealed wax was burned by fire. When a few were knocked over, the powder and a few burnt black and burnt carbon balls rolled out, and they broke when they saw the wind and moisture.

Di Renjie opened a complete pottery jar, carefully poured out the things inside, and carefully distinguished it, with a hint of laughter and crying expression on his face.

"Does my uncle know what this is?"

Seeing that the white powder seemed a little like chalk dust, Li Chongrun wanted to dip it with his finger and ask, but was stopped by Di Renjie. "Don't move, that's lime."

"What about that black?" Li Chongrun felt that he felt a little owed. Seeing Di Renjie holding the black carbon ball in his hand and looking at it, he also took one, and found that it was no different from burnt meat. In addition to the burnt smell, it also had a vague smell of meat.

"If I didn't admit it wrong, this should be a treasure."

"Boy has heard of Yang Bao Niu Bao, this human treasure is... me*!"

Li Chongrun suddenly realized what this was. He quickly threw the things in his hand. Thinking of him taking someone else's thing in his hand for a long time, he felt disgusting and quickly got someone to wash his hands with water.

"It seems that the baby that the little flower boy picked a month ago is in these bottles and jars."

While speaking, the yamen runners set up many iron knives from the secret room, with very strange-shaped scissors and some locks. They thought they were Lao Chen's tools for work.

He just emptied the secret room and found no clues related to Lao Chen's disappearance.

Li Chongrun and Di Renjie also went downstairs and walked left and right in the small secret room. Di Renjie noticed something abnormal. "What's wrong here."

"Has my uncle discovered something?"

"Looking at the regulations of the tomb door, this place should have been a tomb from the Cao Wei period, but Lao Chen changed it into a secret room to hide something. Tombs from this period were mostly composed of square front rooms and rectangular back rooms. But what we are now in is the location of the front room, and where is the entrance to the back room?"

Li Chongrun didn't expect that he would have to know some knowledge about tomb robbery when he was studying a case. However, after hearing Di Renjie said this, he did find that compared with the gorgeous tomb door, the tomb chamber was indeed a little narrow and simple.

Li Chongrun carefully searched on the back wall of the opposite tomb door for a long time, and finally found a trace.

"Uncle, you see, this place should have been sealed later."

Although the brick wall was burned black by the fire, there was a vague joint, which was naturally different from the other bricks and was somewhat uneven.

Di Renjie called a few yamen runners over, carefully removed a few bricks from the joint that Li Chongrun found, and found another hole. However, a hot breath came to his face, as if a fire was still raging in it.

Fortunately, after a while of breath, the air in the back room was no longer so hot. Li Chongrun and Di Renjie called lanterns to go in and find out.

But as soon as Li Chongrun entered the back room, under the dim lights of the lanterns, a dark figure appeared in the corner of the back room. Li Chongrun was so scared that he pulled out the iron mace on his back with a conditioned reflex.

"Who is it!"
