SanjitNovel Chapter 119
Chapter 119
This bookshelf is very large and very tall, as if it reaches the sky and the ground, taking up a whole wall.
The bookshelf is made of mahogany, with exquisitely carved pillars. There are not only books on it, but also various ornaments, which are decorated in an interesting way.
Cen Mingche saw the problem at a glance.
Because it can be seen from the other furniture in the house that the eldest princess's aesthetics is that the more exquisite and gorgeous the better, the furniture should also be the type that looks exquisitely carved and slender.
Although this kind of large and heavy mahogany bookshelf is very high-quality and some people like it, it is definitely not in line with the preferences of the eldest princess.
Moreover, when this bookshelf is pushed against the wall, it is perfect for making some tricks.
You know, houses in this era are all frame structures.What does that mean?These walls are the last ones to be built. It doesn’t matter if they don’t exist. The pillars are actually the ones that really bear the load.
Therefore, you can do whatever you want with this wall, including some mechanisms or something like that. It’s not a problem at all.
Don't underestimate the skills of craftsmen in this era.
They don't need to make the purely handmade mechanisms too elaborate, but they are too reliant on personal manual skills and cannot be mass-produced or promoted. They can only be regarded as strange tricks and used as entertainment for the nobles.
In the era when bronzes were still commonly used, craftsmen already used the lost wax method to cast parts and assemble and create interlocking mechanisms.The car is filled with water, and the potential energy of the water drops is used to push the car forward.
Now that 1000 years have passed, the skills of craftsmen have also made great progress.As the eldest princess, it is easy to find a skilled craftsman to build a secret room.
It's just that the current situation doesn't support Cen Mingche's careful search, otherwise he can lift up the land.
"This... the scene in the house is very clean. Didn't the night watchman find anything?"
"Back to your lord, no, everyone in the garden has fainted from the medicine."
The maid looked worried.
Cen Mingche nodded thoughtfully and looked at the bookshelf carefully.
After that, he also sent out his manpower with the people from the Princess Mansion to search, and it lasted until noon.
A message was sent to the capital.
The disappearance of the eldest princess was left to the current Prince Kang, Cen Mingyuan, to take charge.
Haha, it just so happened that Cen Mingyuan also kept licking his aunt.
Cen Mingche volunteered to give him the credit for this matter.
Cen Mingyuan has been running errands in Dali Temple. He has experienced a lot in solving cases and has a few useful people on hand.After receiving the imperial edict, he hurried over with several confidants from Dali Temple.
"I've seen the big brother."
Cen Mingche is gentle and polite.
Cen Mingyuan also put on a fake smile, creating a scene of brothers and sisters.
"How did my aunt disappear?"
"Well... Xiao Wang also arrived at the scene after the fact. Why don't you come and put an end to it?"
Cen Mingyuan glanced at him.Although he tried his best to hide it, his complacency still leaked out from the corners of his eyebrows and eyes.
"Let's take a look at the scene first."
Cen Mingyuan walked in front and carefully observed the crime scene.
Cen Mingche discovered that his eldest brother still had something to offer, and his years in Dali Temple had not been in vain.
And he was quite relaxed, and the dignified county prince was still jumping up and down looking for traces and evidence.
...Well, needless to say, he is a high-ranking prince, so he also kidnapped his own aunt in the middle of the night...
"The inner bolt of the window was opened, and there is a small bump mark here."
"The person who kidnapped my aunt is very familiar with the environment here, and it shouldn't be a temporary act."
"Drug...what kind of drug can be so powerful?"
"What's missing? A brocade quilt and a shawl?"
"Tsk, it's better to use local materials..."
"This gangster is so brave and talented, he actually kidnapped my aunt under such heavy protection..."
Cen Mingche stood in the corridor and watched Cen Mingyuan and his people search the entire main house.
They did not trigger the door to the secret room.
Search, what can you find?
Cen Mingche is still confident in his skills.
It's not his fault. The martial arts provided by his system have already exceeded the development level of this world. It is simply a dimensionality reduction blow.
The gap is like two people fighting. The one on the left took out a kitchen knife, and the one on the right took out a 105mm caliber "sniper rifle."
So what's the point of shooting? Once a "gun" passes, the people are gone and the land is gone.
After practicing until now, it is not difficult to pick leaves and flying flowers or walk on the snow without leaving a trace.
The sound of his landing on the eaves would not have been heavier than that of a bird.
Even if he brought a eldest princess, the sound he made would just change from a falling sparrow to a falling magpie.
Alas, I hope no one is keeping watch here at night, otherwise he will have to do it again.
In the blink of an eye, the jade rabbit rises in the east and the golden crow falls in the west.
Willow head on the moon.
All sounds are silent.
Cen Mingyuan stayed in the eldest princess's villa, and the defense was much tighter.
Cen Mingche had to use several shadowless needles dipped in anesthetic to sneak into the eldest princess's study.
There were no windows or candles in the room, and the natural light was dim. Fortunately, his night vision was pretty good.
First, I moved the mahogany bookshelf without lifting it.It's not a matter of weight, but it's directly fixed to the wall.
The mechanism is on the bookshelf, but the bookshelf is too big. Do we have to look for it one by one?
Either there is a mechanism behind the book, or some of the furnishings are themselves mechanisms.
The specific judgment method is very simple, just take down everything on the bookshelf.
This is a big project.
Cen Mingche was impatient to move around, so he directly raised his hand and put everything on the bookshelf into his game backpack.
It saves time and effort, and can pluck wool without pretending to be useless.
At the end of the installation, only one ornament could not be moved.
It is a copper-embedded cloisonné enamel auspicious elephant carrying vase ornament.
This thing is so beautiful, especially the blue color on the bottle, which is simply unique.
But can't pick it up.
The base looks like it's welded to the bookshelf.
But how could this organization defeat Cen Mingche?After all, he is from the Tang Sect, and he is good at rubbing pear blossom needles in heavy rain, okay?
The elephant's trunk is twisted from drooping to upturned, and the particularly beautiful vase on the elephant's back is turned left three times and right once.
The bookshelf opened silently.
Behind it is a ladder, going straight down.
There was a faint smell of blood in the dark hole.
Cen Mingche jumped down.
The entrance of the cave is not deep. After all, the noble eldest princess wants to walk through it in person. What if she falls if she digs too deep?
The tunnel is also very clean, paved with blue bricks, and cast iron oil lamps are hung on the walls, which are full of lamp oil.
Perhaps because this is her own territory, there is no cover in the dark room of the eldest princess. After walking through a short corridor, her eyes suddenly become clear.
On the wall is a long landscape scroll. In the center of the scroll is a woman with fluttering clothes. Other women are dotted around it, sitting or standing, dancing, playing music, holding dishes, or holding lamps.
What a picture of mountains and rivers feasting with beauties.
