186 Evidence of Crime
Ning Yue did not believe that Meng Hang could disguise himself so well usually and not expose anything when he was home.
At this moment, the governor, who had angered Jiang Ying and Ning Yue, was sitting upright in the prison.
He was not worried at all that Jiang Ying and Ning Yue would receive incriminating evidence in his house, because he had hidden those important things very well. Even if they stood in front of them, no one would discover them.
At the thought of this, the governor felt relieved, but he couldn’t hold it in anymore after seeing his son.
“You bastards let my son go. What did my son do wrong for you to do this?” Meng Hang looked at the unconscious Meng Zhi with heartache.
“Something happened to him. Didn’t you see? Hurry up and call the doctor. Call the doctor!” Meng Hang shouted crazily in the prison.
Unfortunately, because of Jiang Ying’s instructions, no one in the prison would listen to the governor. They left after throwing Meng Zhi into the prison.
“Just you wait!” the governor shouted angrily.
Looking at the governor’s residence again, Jiang Ying and Ning Yue had already searched countless times. They had even turned over the pond in the governor’s residence. The rockery had also been destroyed, but they did not see any secret passages or places to hide things.
Ning Yue was a little discouraged. Half a day had passed. After capturing them, they had also given the order to seal their mouths, but she could not be sure if the news had spread.
“Don’t worry, I can still delay for three days. In three days, even if I have to tear down the entire governor’s home, I have to find it.” Jiang Ying’s expression was dark.
Initially, he was willing to believe that Meng Hang was a good person and did not know anything about Meng Zhi’s crimes.
However, ever since he heard Madam Lin’s unfinished sentence, he had deep doubts.
There must be something wrong with the governor. He was just short of getting incriminating evidence.
After searching for so long, Ning Yue couldn’t help but sigh. Then, she turned to Jiang Ying beside her and asked, “What should we do? If we still can’t find it, we have to let him go. Moreover, I’m worried that if we let him go, your reputation will plummet.”
Not only would Jiang Ying’s reputation plummet, but even the interests of the commoners would not be guaranteed. At the thought of this, Ning Yue was so angry that she slapped the pillar behind her hard. With a bang, Ning Yue was shocked.
She and Jiang Ying looked at the pillar at the same time. Jiang Ying frowned, thinking about something.
Ning Yue thought for a moment and suddenly revealed a look of joy. “Yes, yes. Get someone to remove this pillar and see what’s inside.”
Generally speaking, pillars were either made of wood or stone and painted the color of wood.
However, when Ning Yue slapped the pillar just now, it was obvious that it was not the sound of wood or stones being slapped.
Hearing Ning Yue’s words, Jiang Ying’s eyes lit up and he hurriedly got someone to dismantle the pillar.
In the end, it actually took more than ten people to carry this pillar.
“You have to take it down lightly. Otherwise, it will be bad if the things inside are damaged.” Hearing Ning Yue’s words, the guards did not dare to slack off and carefully removed the pillar.
In the end, after the pillar was put down by the guards, it made a heavy rumbling sound when it touched the floor.
Ning Yue felt that her eardrums were about to burst. The commotion here shocked the surrounding neighbors. The entrance of the Governor’s residence was surrounded. The commoners were very worried that Meng Hang had been injured.
Ning Yue observed the pillar for a while. After removing the paint on the outside of the pillar, she revealed the color inside.
It was black pig iron!
Ning Yue frowned tightly. Even pig iron shouldn’t make a thumping sound. This black pig iron was probably just an outer layer of matter. There must be something wrong inside!
Realizing that there was a crack on the side of the pillar, Ning Yue asked some guards to stop the people at the door. Then, the rest pried open the pillar.
Soon, the pillar was pried open. There was another pillar inside, but this pillar was slightly smaller in diameter than the one outside.
It did not fill the pillar outside, causing there to be air around it. It was as if it was hollow. No wonder there was a thumping sound when she slapped the pig iron.
With this insight, a smile appeared on Ning Yue’s face. No matter what, Meng Hang could forget about sleeping well tonight.
