I opened the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 161 After the All-Night

However, happy times are always like a rabbit's tail, so short that it makes people want to cry. When night falls, the candlelight in the room flickers like a convulsing guy, and the atmosphere suddenly becomes solemn enough to crush an elephant.

"I" sat together with Yueying, Xueqi, Niu Lili and a group of other people. The scene was like a group of heroes preparing to discuss a plan to save the world. The candlelight swayed in the room, reflecting the solemn faces of the people.

"Wang Tianheng is the young chief escort of Xiongqi Escort Agency. He looks like a decent person on weekdays. How could he do such a cruel thing? Did he take the wrong medicine?" Niu Lili frowned, her brows were so frowned that they could pinch a fly to death, and she was the first to break the awkward silence.

"Perhaps he has been bewitched by the two demons of power and desire, and his brain is filled with water!" Yueying sighed softly, and the worry in his eyes was enough to fill a basket.

I pondered for a moment, and said like an old scholar: "No matter what, we have to send someone to the escort agency to find out if we can find some clues related to him like digging for treasure. Otherwise, we will be in a blind spot!"

Everyone nodded their heads like chicks pecking at rice, expressing their agreement.

The next morning, I sent Xiao Li, who was as clever as a monkey, to the Xiongqi Escort Agency. Xiao Li disguised himself as an ordinary escort agent applicant, and his acting skills were worthy of an Oscar, and he successfully sneaked into the escort agency.

Inside the escort agency, escorts were coming and going, busy as ants on a hot pot, but in a very orderly manner. Xiao Li pretended to be familiar with the environment, just like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, while secretly observing the surroundings. He found that the atmosphere in the escort agency was a little strange, and the conversations between the escorts seemed to be a little wary and cautious, like mice seeing a cat.

In a casual chat with other escorts, Xiao Li learned that Wang Tianheng's whereabouts had been as mysterious as an alien recently, and he rarely showed up at the escort agency. Moreover, some senior escorts in the escort agency also had complaints about Wang Tianheng's behavior, but they dared not speak out, and they were all as cowardly as turtles.

"I heard that the young escort has been in close contact with some people of unknown origin recently, and I don't know what they are doing." An escort whispered to Xiao Li, and the voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum.

Xiao Li's heart moved, and he quickly asked: "Oh? There is such a thing? Do you know where those people came from? Could it be that they came from Mars?"

The escort shook his head and looked around vigilantly, with a look like a thief, and said no more.

Seeing this, Xiao Li didn't ask any more questions and continued to wander around the escort agency. He sneaked into Wang Tianheng's study, and his cautious look was like a mouse stealing oil. In the drawer of the desk, he found an account book that recorded some strange transactions and money transactions. The account was a mess.

Just as Xiao Li was about to take a closer look, he suddenly heard footsteps outside the door, the footsteps were as heavy as an elephant stamping its feet. His heart tightened, and his heartbeat almost stopped. He quickly put the account book back to its original place and hid behind the bookshelf. His speed was faster than lightning.

The person who came in was Wang Tianheng's confidant. He walked around the study room and didn't seem to find anything unusual, so he left. This scared Xiao Li so much that he was sweating so much that he could take a shower.

Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief, and while no one was paying attention, he quickly left the study and ran back to us with the clues to the account book.

"This account book records some huge transactions with court officials, as well as some goods shipped to unknown locations. My God, this is incredible!" Xiao Li handed me the account book and said with an exaggerated expression that could be used in a skit.

We studied the account books carefully and found that Li Tianhua was one of the court officials involved.

"It seems that the collusion between these two people is much deeper than we imagined, it's unfathomable!" I said, feeling my head swelling.

At the same time, another group of people were secretly investigating Li Tianhua's Minister's Mansion.

They took advantage of the night and climbed over the wall like Spider-Man to sneak into the Minister's Mansion. The guards in the mansion seemed strict, but they were just paper tigers. Our people still found a loophole, which was big enough to drive a train.

In Li Tianhua's study, they found some secret letters that mentioned a mysterious plan that seemed to be related to the fight for the throne. This shocked them so much that their jaws almost dropped to the ground.

"This Li Tianhua actually has such a big ambition! Does he want to go to heaven?" Xueqi looked at the secret letter, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets in surprise.

However, they encountered great trouble in finding Zhu Pi Gu's whereabouts. Zhu Pi Gu was the legendary Emperor Jianwen, so how could he be found so easily? He seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, leaving no obvious clues. He was simply a peerless master who disappeared mysteriously.

"Could it be that he has noticed our actions and is hiding like a coward?" Feimei asked doubtfully, her expression as confused as a lost child.

"No matter what, we can't miss any clue. We have to expand the search area and dig three feet into the ground to find him!" Gege said firmly, with the momentum of going to war.

Just when everyone was getting anxious like ants on a hot pan, a gangster came and provided important information.

"I once saw a mysterious person in a dilapidated temple outside the city. He was surrounded by tight security, as if he was planning something earth-shattering."

We immediately followed the clues provided by the gangsters and headed for the dilapidated temple without stopping.

The dilapidated temple was filled with a stale atmosphere. The dust and spider webs on the ground showed that no one had been here for a long time. It was simply a haunted house.

"Everyone be careful, there may be an ambush, or even a bomb!" I reminded everyone, my voice changing in pitch with nervousness.

As everyone was carefully searching the temple, they heard a noise so loud that it could give anyone a heart attack.

"Who?" Xiaoling shouted loudly, the voice was sharp enough to cut through the glass.

I saw a black shadow rushing out from the back hall and fleeing outside, its speed was as fast as a gust of wind.

"Chase!"

We followed closely behind it, and the black shadow shuttled through the woods, trying to escape our pursuit, as agile as a monkey.

After a chase, we finally forced the black shadow to the edge of a cliff. The cliff was bottomless and looked scary.

"Who are you?" I shouted at the shadow, and the voice echoed in the valley.

The black shadow slowly turned around, and it was not Zhu Pigu.

"Hmph, don't be so complacent. Zhu Pigu is not someone you can find easily!" the black shadow said viciously, his expression as ferocious as a devil.

"Tell me quickly, where is Zhupigu? Otherwise I'll throw you into the river to feed the fish!" Yueying said, and her tone was so tough that it could hit the wall.

The black shadow sneered: "You found out too late. This is a conspiracy that you can't resist! Let's see how you can break it!"
