Sir, I can do it!

Knowing that there was kerosene underground, Zhan Yi immediately jumped up.If you don't say anything, you will dig a well to save people.

The little official who came out of the underground secret room twitched the corners of his mouth, and said, "Water is used to extinguish the fire with oil, does the Young Superintendent think the fire is not big enough?"

Zhan Yi: "...What do you mean, my lord?"

The little official scratched his head: "My lord signaled me to come out, and I came out. It should be entirely up to the young supervisor."

Zhan Yi: ...he doesn't want to be the master.

The inside of the secret room is quite spacious, but the entrance is narrow, and only one person can pass through.No matter how fast your lord is, you can barely escape with a Young Master Wei.But the brothers below are all the elite of Nanfu, so they can't just be buried in the flames.

While he was thinking about it, the sound of horseshoes suddenly came from all around, Zhan Yi frowned.The lord didn't bring many people with him this time, most of them were in the underground secret room.There are only five or six brothers on guard.The people outside are aggressive, and it is not known whether they are enemies or friends.

With a glance in his eyes, the officials quickly formed a queue and guarded the entrance tightly.

At this time, the rain is slowing down, and the rain and fog are blown away by the wind. Although the sky is completely dark, it is not like when the rain is heavy and you can't see things ahead.

The man came in armor, followed by a group of soldiers.Zhan Yi took a closer look and saw that it was the soldiers and horses of the City Patrol Division, led by Sluda, the deputy of the City Patrol Division.

Zhan Yi breathed a sigh of relief.Lu Da has a very close relationship with Wei Shizi. Hearing that it is Wei Shizi's case, he went to work with Cheng Shixun, Lin Zhan and the others, which can be described as doing their best.Now the third son of Wei is still below, since Lu Da came, it should be a good thing.

Thinking of this, Zhan Yi politely clasped his fists in salute.Lu Da politely returned a salute and explained the reason: "I have received a report that a lot of evil things have flowed out of the area under my jurisdiction, and the source is in the Moon Tower, so I came here to investigate."

Zhan Yi knew that the other party had the same purpose as his family, so he thought about it and said, "Mr. Wei San is below."

Lu Da's eyes sank, and he stopped going around in circles: "How is the third son?"

Seeing his attitude, Zhan Yi knew that the person who came was targeting the third young master, so he stopped hiding it and told all about the underground situation.

Ruda frowned enough to kill a fly.He glanced at the narrow entrance of the secret passage, and with a big wave of his hand, he asked his soldiers to take the thing, dig out the cornerstone, and expand the entrance to the maximum extent.Can run out of one is one.If you managed to avoid the underground kerosene and got stuck at this entrance, that would be called injustice.

To have soldiers in your hand means to be rich and powerful, Zhan Yi looked forward to it with some envy.

It's a pity that their Nanfu has always had a bad reputation, walking in the dark, no amount of credit will be of much use.They are also doing meritorious deeds for the country, and even many big battles require the intelligence support of Nanfu, so that the frontline can win.However, they can only hide in the dark after all, and they will never be able to make contributions like the generals galloping on the battlefield in their entire lives.

Zhan Yi just sighed, after all, he was still willing to follow his family.

So when he lowered his head, he saw the adults of his family standing at the entrance, staring at the dug-out messy entrance without a word.

Because the stone steps were in the way, Luda's soldiers planed the stone steps in two or three strokes, and then continued to dig along the two sides, while cleaning out the gravel that fell in the secret passage.It's just that before half of it was done, the adults of his family came out.

Zhan Yi jumped up in a jerk: "My lord, are you alright, isn't it burning? Come up, come up!"

Changsun Ke stared at Zhanyi faintly, he has been with him for many years, why is he still so stupid.Does he look like something is wrong?

Turning his face away from Zhan Yi's stupid look, he put his big hands on Wei Zhao's waist, sank into his dantian, moved his toes slightly, and jumped up beautifully from the ground.

Wei Zhao watched anxiously, the skill of flying around is really easy to use.

Lu Da couldn't help being a little envious when he looked at it. They practiced martial arts with external skills. In terms of hand skills, he might not feel that he would be weaker than Changsun Ke.But when it comes to speed and endurance, people who practice external skills are still not as flexible as those who practice internal skills.

"Lord eldest grandson, Lord Wei." Lu Da bowed his hands in salute.

Changsun Ke nodded slightly, moved away and said, "Master Lu can take people down, there are my people underneath."

Wei Zhao also said: "Clean up the bottom, but they are all physical evidence. By the way, there are still a few living women. Brother Lu, don't scare people when you go down. There are all human and physical evidence. Lu Zhan can't escape this time." .”

Lu Da should be, he greeted a few soldiers and jumped down.

Both Lu Da and Cheng Shixun relied on the patronage of their families to become officials. Although they were ordered to suppress bandits occasionally, it was not a real battlefield after all.Lu Da thought he had seen blood, and he was not so courageous.Even after seeing those so-called evil things, such as human skin fans and human skin lanterns, it was only a moment of discomfort and nausea.

But when he got to this underground secret room, he realized that what he saw was just the tip of the iceberg.

The soldiers who followed had already vomited while leaning on the base of the wall, and the Nanfu official who was waiting below pouted contemptuously.Lu Da felt ashamed, but to be honest, seeing such a scene, he felt terrified.

In the cell next to her, the woman's entire body was skinned, and the entire human skin was left to dry like this.Not to mention other things, the skinning job is rare enough.Seeing the distorted face of the woman, Lu Da trembled a few times, this is a flaying!

In the cell further ahead, the woman was hung up, and there was a tank underneath. I don't know what kind of water was in the tank, and the smell was bad enough.The woman's feet were all gone, not even bones left.That water must not be a good thing.

Further forward, further forward... Lu Da didn't dare to look.Not timid and afraid, but angry.What kind of madness is it to do such a hateful thing.

Lu Da was silent, took a deep breath, and told his soldiers to carry the corpse up lightly, so as not to startle the soul of the deceased.

The few women who had woken up watched the soldiers' movements and became at a loss for a moment.They are alive, but what can they do if they are alive.This world will not accept them anymore, but they have found their family members. For the sake of the family's reputation, what awaits them is either the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha or the three-foot white silk.

Ye Zhen, who was the first to wake up and bite the captain of the dead soldier, clenched her fists tightly. She is the direct daughter of the Ye family in Fuzhou, not a small family.Because of this, she clearly knew that once she went back, she would be "suddenly killed", or the family had already "suddenly killed her", even if she went back alive, she would not be accepted.

Rather than being a lonely ghost, it is better to fight to the death.The pair of peach blossom eyes she saw gave her hope of living, so she wanted to live.

When Ye Zhen and the others were rescued, it was raining outside again, and there was a bit of desolation in the air.

The soldiers and Nanfu officials who were waiting outside were all silent when they saw the corpses and human skin paintings brought up.They stretched their arms spontaneously, not wanting the wet and cold rain to fall on the distraught corpse.

Ye Zhen held back her tears so as not to flood her.

She said with a trembling voice: "They are all strong women, they refused to give in and ended up like this. Those people will use these sisters to intimidate us, and will skin and flesh alive in front of us. Some people are afraid, If they don’t dare to fight, they will send these women who are not punished outside.”

"But I heard from the elder sister in the next room that if you send them outside to play for the rich and powerful, or sell them to other countries, you will never be able to return home and see your relatives. You are going to die anyway. It is better to die in this dark secret room. Quietly, the family will not be ashamed because of them."

Ye Zhen wiped her tears with her sleeve, and continued: "After a woman dies, they will use human bones to make handicrafts, or use good quality human skin to paint patterns and sell them. These things are priceless in the market, and some people like to collect them. "

Wei Zhao's face was ashen. The human leather fan that was sent to his grandmother at the birthday banquet seemed to come from here.Then a series of designs for big brother...

Wei Zhao suddenly raised his head and asked Ye Zhen, "How long have you been locked up here?"

"I can't remember, but it's been a month if I don't say anything." Ye Zhen thought for a while, and said: "When I came, those people were threatening us one by one. But after a while, those people stopped coming to torture us We are gone. Otherwise, what the young master sees now is the corpses of us."

Ye Zhen is not bad, the few women who were rescued together have been tortured more or less, either had their fingers broken or had their leg bones stripped.

Wei Zhao glanced at Zhang Sun Ke, and asked again: "Then do you feel that something is wrong, they stopped all of a sudden, but is there anything strange, or what did you hear?"

Ye Zhen was just rescued, and it is her limit to be able to hold on until now. If she wants to recall now, she has to recall all the experiences of the past half month.Her face turned pale instantly, and she was trembling and unable to speak.

Wei Zhao was only impatient, so he comforted him, "Don't be afraid, it's too late today, let's take you to rest first."

Ye Zhen nodded cautiously, feeling a little annoyed.She really wanted to help the young master.

For the sake of safety, these people will naturally be handed over to Changsun Ke to take them to Nanfu.Ruda said there was no problem at all.He is still clear about his own weight.If something happens to someone in his hands, no one can afford it.

It was already late at night when he came back from Wangyue Tower, and Wei Zhao was so tired that he couldn't even lift his arms.He was thinking about something in his heart and didn't go back to the Hou Mansion.Instead, he followed Changsun Ke to Nanfu, and at night he squeezed into the not spacious bed in Changsun Ke's room.

"According to Mr. Cai, it seems that the emperor intends to protect Lu Xiangye."

Changsun Ke looked at Wei Zhao with his head propped sideways, and said, "Lu Ding is Li Huai's eyes in the court. Although he relied on Li Huai to get his current status, it is undeniable that Lu Ding is also a rare talent. He Working hard, following Li Huai to suppress the old nobles."

"Reform the imperial examinations, rectify the administration of officials, and support the common people. Lu Ding has done a lot for Li Huai. This is also the cause that Emperor Wu wanted to do but failed. But Li Huai designed the reserve position to make all parties fight each other, giving the old nobles a chance to breathe. The road paved by Emperor Wu fell short. So Li Huai has to face more pressure. But at the same time, he has ambitions that do not match his own abilities."

"With Lu Ding's full support these years, he can get to where he is today. Lu Ding has also offended many old nobles because of this. Therefore, no matter in public or private, he will keep Lu Ding. Not to mention that this year's imperial examination reform has damaged the old aristocracy. For the interests of the nobility, Li Huai was pushed to the core by these people. We can do things so smoothly, it may not be that there are no old nobles behind the scenes. They hate Li Huai, and they hate Lu Ding even more."

Wei Zhao sighed: "The old aristocrats are powerful, they invaded good land, forced them into slavery, and the people suffered unspeakably. If you want the dynasty to last long and the people to be happy, you must move the interests of the old aristocracy. If the purpose is unscrupulous, the old aristocrats will be disintegrated and the imperial power will be concentrated, so will the common people have a good life?"

"Li Huai's ambition is to surpass Emperor Wu, and Lu Ding's purpose is to make achievements to honor the ancestors. First of all, they did it out of selfishness, not because of peace of the world and the peace of the people. Centralizing the imperial power under such circumstances will instead cultivate a tyrant , so that the people live under a brutal government."

He lay on his back and looked at the top of the tent, and sighed quietly: "I seem to understand why my father acquiesced in Li Huai's seizing the throne and proclaiming himself emperor. Because in my father's eyes, it is the same for the sons of Emperor Wu to be emperors." , even Emperor Wu himself. None of them have a heart for peace and peace in the world."

Changsun Ke just looked at him and smiled: "It depends on man's effort. If there is one now, it doesn't mean there will be one in the future. Azhao wants such a monarch, we can cultivate one ourselves."

Wei Zhao's eyes fell on Changsun Ke's face, and his heart beat twice.He had thought about changing the emperor, but it seemed more challenging to train an emperor himself.
