Chapter three hundred and ninety fourth flower pot
With that said, Qi Shaoqing stepped aside. As soon as Zhao Jing entered, he saw Lin Yu sitting inside.
"Duke Xuanping." Lin Yu stood up, smiled and cupped his hands towards Zhao Jin.
Zhao Jin paused and asked in a deep voice: "Vice Commander Lin? Why are you here?"
Lin Yu smiled and said, "I came here to discuss some matters with Qi Shilang. I never thought that I would meet Duke Xuanping coming to investigate the case."
"That's a coincidence." Zhao Jin curled his lips with unknown meaning, and his eyes turned on Lin Yu's uniform.
There was no flaw in Lin Yu's face, "Yes."
"Search." Zhao Jin moved his eyes away and turned to Qi Shaoqing's room.
Zhao Jin is quite sensitive to things like secret doors and secret passages.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Jin discovered a secret door.
"Shilang Qi, what is this?" Zhao Jin raised his hand and knocked on the closed secret door in front of him, his cold eyes locked on Qi Shaoqing.
Qi Shaoqing looked shocked and stepped forward quickly in disbelief, "Here, how come there is a door here?"
He stretched out his hand and touched it, seemingly unable to recover.
Zhao Jin looked into his eyes, filled with confusion and confusion, as if he really didn't know the existence of this secret door.
"Young Master Qi, don't you know?" Zhao Jin tilted his head and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Qi Shaoqing shook his head and smiled bitterly, "To be honest, I am also shocked now. After living here for so many years, I realized that there is a secret door in my room."
As Qi Shaoqing finished speaking, Zhao Jin's eyes completely lost their warmth, as if two pieces of ice were embedded in them.
"So, has anyone else entered Shilang Qi's room these days?"
"This..." Qi Shaoqing thought for a moment and then said uncertainly: "I don't dare to confirm this because I haven't been in the room all day."
"Is that so?" Zhao Jin touched the secret door, then spread his hand with his palm facing up.
Qi Shaoqing looked at Zhao Jin's hand in confusion, "What?"
"It's very clean." Zhao Jin retracted his hand and said in a low voice, "This door has been used by someone in at least two days."
"If this door is not used by Qi Shilang, and Qi Shilang has never discovered it, you should be more careful in the future. After all, someone may be doing business through this door while you are resting."
Zhao Jin looked at Qi Shaoqing as if to remind him.
However, Qi Shaoqing was keenly aware that Zhao Jin's attitude towards him had changed.
Qi Shaoqing lowered his eyelids and suppressed the coldness in his eyes, "Thank you, Lord, for reminding me."
"You're welcome, we are both ministers of the Ministry of War after all." Zhao Jin waved his hand casually, and then started walking around the room.
Lin Yu looked at Zhao Jin nervously. The secret door had been discovered. Zhao Jin must have had suspicions. This time it was really bad.
Qi Shaoqing turned his head and saw Lin Yu's tense look.
Damn it! Are you afraid that others won’t find out?
Because of the series of changes brought about by Lin Yu, Qi Shaoqing was already dissatisfied. Seeing that he could not hide his emotions, he could hardly suppress the irritability in his heart.
He glanced at Lin Yu warningly.
Keep your eyes closed.
Lin Yu noticed something, turned his head and looked at Qi Shaoqing, and clearly saw this sentence from the other person's eyes.
Only then did he react and lowered his head in a hurry.
Zhao Jin didn't notice the exchange of glances between Qi Shaoqing and Lin Yu. His eyes wandered around Qi Shaoqing's room.
When I walked to the window sill, I turned my head and glanced. There was a huge flower pot next to it, with a white peony plant planted on it.
The white peony root is blooming beautifully, and the soil in the flowerpot is still slightly moist. It must have been watered just now.
Zhao Jin looked at the flower pot for a moment, then stretched out his hand to pull the soil in the flower pot.
When Qi Shaoqing saw Zhao Jin's action, his pupils shrank slightly and his fingertips reflexively curled up, "My lord."
Without any thought, Qi Shaoqing said these words instinctively, drawing Zhao Jin's attention back.
Zhao Jin's fingertips were still on the soil of the flowerpot, stained by the wet soil. He turned to look at Qi Shaoqing, "What's the matter, Minister Qi?"
"No," Qi Shaoqing forced a smile, "This potted flower has just been watered, and I'm afraid it might dirty the Duke."
Zhao Jin stared at Qi Shaoqing for a moment, then turned around and said softly: "It's okay, I don't care about this."
After the words fell, Zhao Jin turned back and his eyes stopped on the soil of the flowerpot again. There was no emotion in his voice, "This soil was only touched today?"
The watered soil should be relatively solid, but the soil in the pot in front of Zhao Jin is obviously somewhat loose.
Qi Shaoqing closed his teeth suddenly, quickly adjusted his emotions, and looked at him gently, "Every morning, the people below will loosen the soil for it."
Zhao Jin raised his hand, left the flower pot, and smiled, "It seems that Shi Lang Qi likes this white peony plant very much."
"It's beautiful."
Zhao Jin turned his head and looked at the white peony root in full bloom, "It is indeed beautiful."
After praising the white peony root, Zhao Jin immediately added: "However, just in case, we can only dig out the white peony root first."
Qi Shaoqing breathed a sigh of relief at first, but then became frightened by Zhao Jin's words. With a trace of unnoticeable panic, he said: "Master Guo?"
He responded with a "Qiang!"
Zhao Jin directly pulled out the saber from his waist, picked out the whole peony plant with the tip of the knife, and placed it intact next to the flower pot.
Due to Zhao Jin's sudden movement, a large hole was left in the soil in the flower pot. From above, it could be clearly seen that there were some black debris on the edge of the large hole.
Zhao Jin's eyes moved to the soil attached to the root of the peony. It was only stained with a little black ash, which showed that the source was not peony.
When Zhao Jin removed the peony, Qi Shaoqing couldn't help but take a step forward so that he could clearly see what was inside the flower pot.
Seeing this, knowing that he could no longer hide it, he reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth and said in a weak voice, "These are the fertilizers buried today."
"I heard that plant ash is very expensive to use."
Hearing this, Zhao Jin turned his head and glanced at Qi Shaoqing, then looked away without saying a word, and directly followed the big knife in the flower pot to open up the surrounding soil.
More and more black debris was discovered. After Zhao Jin picked up all the soil in the flower pot, the debris spread out in front of everyone occupied almost a quarter of the flower pot.
Zhao Jin picked up a few pieces of crumbs with his fingers, put them to the tip of his nose and sniffed, feeling a burnt smell.
"It is indeed the ashes after burning." Zhao Jin avoided Qi Shaoqing's statement of plant ashes.
Qi Shaoqing's face darkened and he did not utter a word to refute.
Plant ashes are also ashes after burning. There is nothing wrong with Zhao Jin's remarks. It is easier for people to grasp the topic if he is eager to refute.
However, Qi Shaoqing knew clearly that after Zhao Jin broke into Qi's house.
