Chapter 590: Simple, Crude
She pushed hard, but it didn’t budge.
“Is there a switch?” Jiang Ning looked back at the other three, focusing on Li Hongyuan.
Since he knew there was a hidden door here, he must know where the switch was.
Li Hongyuan, however, remained expressionless: “I don’t know.”
“Then how did you know…”
“I guessed.”
“…As the leader of Mu Jian, is this your first ti coming to his house?”
“I’ve been here twice. But obviously, Mu Jian, the traitor inside, wouldn’t show his secret room to his master.” Li Hongyuan spoke calmly.
Guxing said: “Seventh Miss, don’t worry, I have a way.”
“Xingxing is reliable, I’ll leave it to you.”
Just as Jiang Ning thought she would use so extraordinary skill to find the switch, Guxing suddenly took out a huge hamr and slamd it hard against the hollow wall—
Boom—
With a massive noise, the sound of wood cracking followed.
Jiang Ning stared blankly at everything.
Could this be the infamous, unpredictable, and terrifying ans of the legendary Ms. Xing?
Such a simple and brutal way?
Guxing swung her hamr and smashed the wall twice more.
Eventually, the wall was smashed open, creating a hole large enough for a person to pass through.
She threw away the hamr, dusted off her hands, and gestured for her to go in: “Seventh Miss, you can enter now.”
Jiang Ning was speechless: “Ms. Xing, don’t you have any cleverer thod? It’s not like Mu Jian has to use a big hamr to break the wall every ti he enters and exits the secret room.”
“This is faster; isn’t it much smarter than wasting ti looking for a switch?” Guxing said, looking completely justified.
“Sigh!”
Jiang Ning was dejected.
These were the weird creatures that Uncle had taught.
“It is indeed quite clever.”
Li Hongyuan said and walked over.
Jiang Ning said: “When Mu Jian cos back and sees this, won’t he know that soone has broken in here? Don’t you understand what it ans to startle the snake?”
Li Hongyuan said: “Then just restore it before he cos back.”
“Can a torn piece of paper be restored to its original state? How could a clever man like Mu Jian be fooled?”
Unfortunately, no one listened to her, and they all crawled into the hole one by one.
Jiang Ning looked at the ss on the ground and could only follow helplessly.
After walking a few steps, they ca to a small secret room.
There was nearly nothing in the empty secret room.
The word “nearly” was used because there was a tiny bit left.
In the corner of the secret room, there was a small brazier with fire already extinguished, leaving only a pile of ashes and so partially burnt papers.
Li Hongyuan was the first to enter, and by the ti Jiang Ning entered, he had already squatted down in front of the brazier and picked up the half-burned papers.
Guxing stood beside him, wanting to help but not daring to.
Although she didn’t care about the Crown Prince, she still had a sense of hierarchy.
Li Hongyuan, holding the paper, looked back at Jiang Ning and said, “Do you want to take a look at the evidence you asked for?”
Jiang Ning hurriedly walked over, took the pieces of paper, and saw the remaining lines of writing.
“…General Mu, the deed is done, please…”
The front part was burned, and the latter part was indistinguishable.
The handwriting was that of Jiang Ruobai.
It seed that this letter was written by Jiang Ruobai to Mu Jian.
Jiang Ning could still recognize Jiang Ruobai’s handwriting.
She stared at the paper for a long ti, tore it apart, and sneered: “You want to decide the Jiang family’s guilt with just a single letter? How do you know that soone else didn’t write this letter to fra my father?”
