Chapter 1509 Secret Road

   The secret room is not small, it is a brand new large room in the basement.

  In the room, except for some bookshelves, there is nothing but open space, as clean as if nothing had been placed there before.

  Zhang Zhi squatted down, looking around.

   At this time.

  He stared.

  Seeing that Chu Heng also squatted down, his eyes lit up, and he took the initiative to say: "My lord, look..."

  Chu Heng looked at the place he pointed, and saw some shallow traces and some dust on the originally clean floor, but some places were as clean as if they had just been cleaned.

   In addition, there are traces of hastily swept, leaving some dust marks.

   "There used to be something here, but it's gone now." Zhang Zhi's voice was affirmative, and he felt that his guess was right.

  Chu Heng nodded, affirming his thoughts: "That's right, there should be something important to Zheng Guogong here. If I guess right, it should be gold ingots."

   "Gold ingots!" Liu Ruying was shocked by these words. You must know that even if he is a child of the Earl's Mansion, there are not many gold ingots in his assets.

   "With so many things, Zheng Guogong must find an opportunity to transport them out of the city." Zhang Zhi squeezed his fists: "It's a shame that we can't publicize it now, and there is no way to seal the city. We only send people to guard the city gate."

   "He didn't walk through the city gate." Chu Heng threw out another news that shocked the two of them.

  Liu Ruying scratched her head: "If they don't go through the gate of the city, how do they want to leave? Although the gold ingot is very conspicuous, as long as they think of a way, they can cover it and transport it out."

   "Nothing, if we are lucky, they should not have had time to transport the gold out." Chu Heng came to check this time, just to determine how much gold is there.

   At the same time, find out whether there is a secret passage leading to the outside of the entire Liu Mansion.

  The cost of building secret passages is extremely high, and ordinary officials do not have the funds to build them.

However, when Chu Heng thought about the events in his previous life, Zheng Guogong had indeed secretly transported the junior away, so it meant that there must be a secret road in the city that could lead to the outside of the city, and it might not have been dug by Zheng Guogong himself. Secret passages.

  In his previous life, he didn't spend too much time on this matter. He only sent people to inquire about this matter, and vaguely confirmed some information. If he guessed correctly, he should be able to find it.

   Liu Ruying and Zhang Zhi didn't know what Chu Heng was thinking.

  But neither of them had the slightest doubt about him.

   Followed directly behind him, helping to check the entire Zheng Guogong Mansion.

   When it is close to dark.

   There is subordinate back.

   "My lord, I found it in Beicheng." A lieutenant said excitedly.

   After hearing the news, Liu Ruying and Zhang Zhi hurried over. In order not to overlook any details, the two of them searched for the whole afternoon, sweating profusely from exhaustion.

   "Go and have a look first." Chu Heng made a decisive decision and left a small team to continue inspecting the Liu residence.

  He rushed to the courtyard in Beicheng.

  Riding all the way over there.

   It was dark at this moment, and it was two quarters of an hour when we arrived at the courtyard.

Chu Heng got off his horse, followed by Liu Ruying and Zhang Zhi, and they all entered the yard. The yard was not big, and there were many dead leaves. It seemed that no one had replaced the tiles on the house for a long time. Broken tiles, the house has been emptied long ago, it looks very dilapidated, there is not even a good piece of furniture, just judging by the age, I am afraid it has been abandoned for a long time.
